Shifting Circumstances
As for Eight-Foot Madam, she woke up early in the morning and noticed that Su Bai had quietly left.
She wasn't in a hurry, after all, she knew that Su Bai had other plans in mind.
However, within the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement, he continued to send his men to collect even more spirit medicine.
Su Bai naturally couldn't accept Eight-Foot Madam 'Eight-Foot Madam spirit medicine for nothing, so he first gave her a batch of Spirit Stone.
Even though the Old Wolf Emperor is no longer in charge and Eight-Foot Madam holds great power in the Moon Wolf Tribe, she cannot use her power to forcibly seize the spirit medicine collected by the lower-level Moon Wolf Tribe.
Instead, they purchased in bulk at Ninety-five percent of the market price.
This is also the method by which most Demon Race enforce the Prohibition Order.
Killing Medicine Peddler alone won't eliminate them all in a short time.
By creating a shortage of spirit medicine within Demon Star City, and forcing various Demon Race to over-collect and consume the spirit medicine themselves, the Heavenly Star Alliance can be cut off from its source of spirit medicine.
This will cause short-term disruption to the balance of the spirit medicine market within Demon Star City.
However, with just a little intervention from higher levels, things will naturally be fine over time.
But this is exactly what allowed Su Bai to exploit the loophole.
For example, the Nightmare Rat Clan experienced a short period of sluggish sales and stockpiling due to the actions of the Demon Race Higher-Ups.
Su Bai then disguised himself as the Nightmare Rat Tribe Chief and easily took him into his possession.
At this moment, Eight-Foot Madam had just finished her busy work.
My thoughts inevitably went blank.
At this moment, Eight-Foot Madam felt a sense of foreboding, and sure enough, that figure reappeared in her mind.
Whenever I have free time, it's the same; my mind wanders and I can't control it at all.
"I wonder if the Human Race has any Cultivation Method for Mind-Calming and focusing the spirit..." Eight-Foot Madam sighed softly.
"But his absence for a day or two will give me a couple of days to rest... otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
During their interactions, she truly hadn't expected that Su Bai's skill had improved so significantly.
She almost couldn't handle it if she wasn't careful...
As the Eight-Foot Madam's thoughts drifted...
She hadn't expected that Su Bai had already returned to the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement and saw her looking dazed from afar.
Su Bai revealed himself. "Madam, thank you for your hard work these past few days with these High-grade Spirit Stone."
When Eight-Foot Madam saw Su Bai return, a fleeting look of dazedness crossed her eyes. Thinking of what she had just been thinking, her ears burned.
However, after glancing briefly at the Spirit Stone in the Storage Bag, he quickly shifted his attention.
The Spirit Stone inside were enough to completely cover the clan's deficit, and the surplus was equivalent to more than a dozen of her personal savings!
These Spirit Stone were among the items that Ancestor Tian Xing brought back from the Heavenly Star Alliance.
This part corresponds to the Spirit Stone converted from the spirit medicine provided by Eight-Foot Madam, based on its market price.
The return of Ancestor Tian Xing greatly shocked the Heavenly Star Alliance Senior Leadership. It also took them some time to gather all the Spirit Stone, and it was already night.
As for the other large portion, the Spirit Stone obtained by exchanging the spirit medicine plundered by the Nightmare Rat Clan, Su Bai naturally pocketed them.
Although not detailed, it was enough to cover Su Bai's cultivation expenses up to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, allowing him to squander money without any problem.
Moreover, this was after he himself had withheld a portion of the High-grade Spirit Medicine.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Su Bai will achieve a degree of Spirit Medicine Freedom within approximately three years.
The Eight-Foot Madam looked at Su Bai, her eyes sparkling, and suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, by the way, not long after you left, that old geezer went to see Old Wolf Venerable..."
"He hasn't come back yet."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai raised an eyebrow, "Didn't that Old Wolf Venerable go into seclusion to break through his cultivation realm?"
He clearly remembered that after the election of the New Generation Wolf Venerable was held, the Old Wolf Venerable Mid Demon King Stage realm, went into seclusion to try to break through to the Late Demon King Stage.
Could it be because of the recent series of actions taken with the Heavenly Star Alliance?
The Eight-Foot Madam shook her head. "I don't know the specifics either, and the old man didn't send any Transmit Message."
Su Bai pondered deeply, but the Nightmare Rat Clan and the wolf-like Demon Race were too closely connected, so he couldn't find any useful information.
Eight-Foot Madam changed the subject, "But that child Yinyue still thinks of you from time to time."
In Su Bai's mind, a little white wolf peeking out curiously appeared. "What realm has this child reached now?"
When talking about Yinyue, Eight-Foot Madam's eyes softened considerably. "That old man has put in a lot of effort these past few years, originally planning to help him break through to the Condensing Origin Stage within ten years."
"But we achieved that breakthrough before this year."
He is currently outside Demon Star City, training and consolidating his cultivation level alone.
Su Bai took out several bottles of Pill from his Storage Bag and placed them in Eight-Foot Madam's hands. "These are Second-tier Low-grade Blue Origin Pill. They can be used until he breaks through to the Mid Condensing Origin Stage."
The Eight-Foot Madam naturally wouldn't be pretentious, carefully accepting the gift, her bright eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Bai.
The implications are self-evident.
Naturally, they bypassed these distracting topics and wanted to get to the bottom of Su Bai himself.
The Eight-Foot Madam's straightforwardness had an immediate effect on Su Bai... and so on.
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past two weeks, Su Bai has used his spare time to cultivate and occasionally inquire about the movements of the Demon Race race.
For example, after the Heavenly Star Alliance formed an alliance with the South Sea, the Demon Star City planned to strengthen the cohesion among various races and reorganize a Demon Race Assassination Army with the Condensing Origin Stage as the smallest unit.
Specifically targeted at Heavenly Star City and the Southern Sea Cultivation World.
Its target is naturally not Heavenly Star City itself or the South Sea Nine Islands.
With the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star personally overseeing Heavenly Star City, it's impossible for this kind of army to confront it directly.
Their targets are some Second-rate Forces scattered around, and Cultivator who need to travel due to busy affairs.
In addition to these, there are various other actions.
In short, the Demon Race Higher-Ups began racking their brains.
The reason why Demon Star City has taken so many actions is...
The most important reason is that, despite the Heavenly Star Alliance being cut off from its source of spirit medicine, a large number of spirit medicine have suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the past half month.
And judging from the situation, they can hold out for quite some time.
This naturally caused great anxiety among the higher-ups of Demon Star City.
The original plan to implement the measures step by step has now been put on the agenda.
Some Sea Tribe were also involved.
The Merfolk Race naturally did not participate; instead, Cang Mingxiao forward and persuaded some of the Sea Tribe who wanted to get involved to stay out of it.
As the current Vice Pavilion Master the Star Luo Pill Pavilion and an important member of the Heavenly Star Alliance, Su Bai naturally reports every piece of this intelligence.
Unbeknownst to many, the Heavenly Star Alliance and Demon Star City had reached a point of On the Brink of Conflict, with a sense of impending doom.
On this day, Su Bai had just finished his meditation and cultivation during his free time when he heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from outside the room.
A quick scan with his Divine Sense revealed it to be a young white wolf.
Yinyue was dressed in snow-white wolf-hair robes, which seemed to have turned slightly gray due to her year of experience.
Having just returned to his clan's territory, he couldn't wait to find Eight-Foot Madam.
Eight-Foot Madam was enjoying the evening breeze, intending to catch her breath a little.
Although puzzled as to why the child had returned so early, the first thing he did was give the Blue Origin Pill that Su Bai had given him to Yinyue.
Upon glancing at the pill bottle, Yinyue quickly guessed the origin of the Pill.
"Mother, has Godfather come by? Where is he?" he asked anxiously to his Eight-Foot Madam.
