Half a year

" With the Profound Pill Market now newly established, I still have many matters to attend to personally."

"In that case, I will not disturb Alchemist Lu Jiu any longer," Xiao Shisi said.

He was extremely polite to Su Bai, giving him plenty of face.

This is also related to the fact that Xiao Shisi had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage two years ago and had just consolidated his cultivation to serve his Lineage.

Xiao Shisi, who has just entered the Early Golden Core, is fundamentally different from those who have achieved the Golden Core Golden Core for a long time.

Su Bai bowed in agreement and watched Xiao Shisi leave.

"Boss, you're really something! Even Golden Core Cultivator treats you with such respect!" Zhang Ying flattered from the side.

Su Bai chuckled, "Alright, let's start putting on a show."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Bai took out the plaque for "Number Nine Shop" and hung it up for the shop himself.

To be fair, the plaque fits quite well after it was installed, and [Number Nine Pill Shop] is gradually taking on the feel of a time-honored brand.

Su Bai then stepped into the new shop to inspect its layout, while Zhang Ying pulled her younger brother to start placing spirit medicine into the counter.

The old store is reopening, and given the many unsettling details involved, there was naturally no grand opening ceremony.

Su Bai Spiritual Sense Unleashed probe the area. The exterior of the shop was divided into two floors and was quite large.

Su Bai continued to use the lower floor as the shop and the upper floor as his VIP tea room.

Most importantly, it also has a Rear Courtyard.

The courtyard was about 100 square meters in size, with a ring of side Side Room surrounding it. Su Bai estimated that there were more than 20 rooms, enough to accommodate quite a few people.

Su Bai designated several of the main rooms as his Cultivation Room and Alchemy Chamber.

The remaining Side Room were left for Zhang Ying and her companions to choose from.

Just as Su Bai finished making the arrangements, Transmit Message was sent from True Man He to the mini Pill Furnace on Su Bai's body.

The message simply informed Su Bai that the matter was settled and that he could now rest assured and stay at the Profound Pill Market.

Meanwhile, within the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm...

After Xiao Ding strengthened the Magic Array of the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm, he teleported away from the Secret Realm.

It did not travel to the Star Luo Pill Pavilion via the Teleportation Array within the Secret Realm.

Instead, they were teleported to the sea surface at the Secret Realm Entrance.

Meanwhile, on the sea, two Nascent Soul Cultivator were waiting for Xiao Ding.

These two were Zhang Taiyin, the Zhang Family Ancestor, and Xun Huo, the Xun Family Ancestor.

The two Nascent Soul Cultivator sat calmly on the clouds, waiting for Xiao Ding to appear. Clearly, they hadn't left the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm so easily before.

It's unnecessary for Nascent Soul Cultivator to display their dealings to lower-level Cultivator outside, which is why they arranged to meet here.

After Xiao Ding teleported over, he first cupped his hands in greeting to Xun Huo: "There were some minor matters to attend to in the Secret Realm, so I was a little slow in coming out."

Xun Huo holds the highest position among the three because he has already advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The Lifespan of Nascent Soul Early Stage and one thousand Lifespan in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. As figures of the same era, Xun Huo, not to mention his Combat Power, could outlive Xiao Ding and Zhang Taiyin simply by extending his Lifespan.

Xiao Ding naturally held him in even higher esteem.

Xun Huo then spoke up, "Xiao Ding, you seized the initiative this time, and your methods were decisive, so you win."

"However, Zhang Taiyin and I were also separated from our seclusion, so we should offer some compensation."

Zhang Taiyin, who was on another cloud, did not speak, clearly indicating that Xun Huo's words represented his meaning.

Xiao Ding rarely showed emotion. He scratched his head and said, "Boss Xun, you're the boss below the Alliance Leader. You're in charge. I'll give you and Taiyin a compensation that will satisfy you."

Xun Huo nodded slightly from the cloud.

"In that case, we'll await your compensation."

Zhang Taiyin interjected, "Heh heh, old man Xiao Ding, you're still too kind-hearted. If you ask me, we should just seize control of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion and bring it Under His Command our Lineage's control."

"You're incredibly stupid enough to reinforce the Secret Realm Entrance for them? You're beyond saving. I suggest you find a coffin and lie down in it yourself."

Xiao Ding nearly lost his temper. "Zhang Taiyin, your mouth is still so foul! You short-sighted fool, no wonder the Zhang Family only has eight Golden Core now!"

"You know nothing! Stop your babbling! Go back to your secluded area. If you can't advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, you'll be like Old Phoenix Head, with only a few years left to live!"

Zhang Taiyin immediately retorted, "Tsk tsk, I'm giving you free advice and you still don't appreciate it. Fine, fine, you're hopeless. I'm leaving now. Don't forget my compensation. If I'm not satisfied, I'll have to kidnap your Alchemist and have him refine pills for me!"

After Zhang Taiyin, she flew away into the air.

"In that case, I shall also depart." Xun Huo then vanished into thin air.

Xiao Ding gasped for breath a few times, "You bastard, your mouth is really venomous!" before turning and leaving.

The incident on Alchemy Street was too brief.

Although several ordinary Alchemist, like Lei Zhuhai, perished as a result.

But in the end, it didn't cause much of a stir.

The Cultivator of the Demon Star Sea gradually and quickly accepted the fact that the Alchemy Street had been transformed into the Profound Pill Market.

The higher-ups of the Heavenly Star Alliance have finally included the Star Luo Pill Pavilion on their top priority list. Xiao Ding's actions clearly demonstrate that as long as they control the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, they can control this group of Alchemist.

The fact that True Man He's status has actually risen again in secret because of this incident has actually caused a stir.

Su Bai also benefited from this, and his status rose.

Although Su Bai now focuses on cultivation and rarely refines pills himself, and his Number Nine Pill Shop sells other people's Pill, he still earns over 100,000 Spirit Stone a year.

Those who came to buy the Spirit Pills were basically there because of Su Bai's influence.

Thus, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

It's almost the October.

In a few days, [Immortal Talent Reflection] will be restored.

In just over six months, Su Bai perfected both the [Myriad Lightning Sword Prison] and the [Lightning Instant Sword Escape].

[Myriad Lightning Sword Prison] needs no introduction; it is a version of the Divine Ability that Su Bai upgraded from [Myriad Lightning Lure] to [Thousand Sword Lightning Prison].

[Lightning Instant Sword Escape] is a brand-new Sword Dao Divine Ability that Su Bai greatly improved upon [Thunder Lightning Sword Resonance] after mastering the Second Tier Upper Grade Divine Ability [Instant Lightning Refraction].

Its power has reached the level of a super-tier quasi-tier Quasi-Tier 3 Spell.

Su Bai that, whether they were Immortal Palace Cultivator or the Holy Hall Cultivator, few in the Foundation Establishment Realm could withstand his sword strike.

However, the Soaring Dragon Sword was somewhat unable to withstand the exaggerated power of this Divine Ability. After Su Bai tried to use it a few times, the Soaring Dragon Sword was seriously damaged, and its spiritual light dimmed.

So Su Bai simply sent the Soaring Dragon Sword to a master weapon refiner in the Star Luo Market's Artifact Refining Grandmaster Artifact Refining Street for tempering and upgrading, hoping to successfully elevate it to the level of Top-grade Spirit Sword.
