There are many Secret Realms in the Cultivation World.
However, most of them are controlled by Sects.
A portion is guarded by Families.
Therefore, whenever a Secret Realm appears, many Loose Cultivators come out to join the fun.
At this time, the Zi Yun Secret Realm was not yet open.
The Purple Bamboo Immortal Market became lively.
However, this had nothing to do with Su Bai.
The lively part of Purple Bamboo Immortal Market was its central district.
It had little to do with a Spiritual Farmer like herself, who cultivated land on the outskirts.
The Spiritual Fields here were still only worked by Spiritual Farmers.
No Loose Cultivators would come over.
Clearly, Loose Cultivators knew that Spiritual Farmers had little of value worth coveting.
"Although it's very peaceful here, more and more Loose Cultivators from outside are coming," Su Bai stood on her plot of land.
She watched the various Magical Artifacts in the distant sky, flying towards the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market from time to time.
"Currently, most of those who have arrived are at Qi Refining and Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase; not a single powerful Cultivator at Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase has come."
"That means there's no need to be so nervous, right?"
She said this, but Su Bai was already prepared to run to Great Wu at any time.
Of course, the secret of her Transmigration was her trump card for survival.
It was always better to plan ahead if possible.
Three years passed in a flash.
During these three years, Su Bai had somewhat overestimated herself.
She had not made any significant Breakthroughs in the martial Dao.
The Yao Beast meat was also used up.
Alchemy and talisman drawing, however, had reached the Low Grade First-Tier level because she wasn't short on Materials.
But Low Grade First-Tier Medicinal Pills were only useful for Qi Refining.
Cultivators at Qi Refining were not only poor but also troublesome.
In short, the Medicinal Pills Su Bai refined did not sell too well.
There were quite a few competitors.
The only good news was that Su Bai's Qi Refining cultivation had finally touched the fourth layer of Qi Refining.
She believed she would be able to Breakthrough in less than a year.
"Hey, Xiaobai, Wang Daye has already submitted his resignation to Lin Steward. After harvesting the Spiritual Rice next month, he'll be leaving. You must take good care of yourself!"
Wang Daye, carrying a hoe, greeted Su Bai.
In recent years, Wang Daye's appearance had not changed significantly, but his white hair was growing more abundant.
Clearly, he could no longer resist the passage of time.
Su Bai, however, looked the same as she did three years ago, like a young maiden in her prime.
"Yes, I know. If things go wrong, I'll definitely leave," Su Bai replied.
In these three years, although her cultivation hadn't changed much, the System had gained three additional attribute points.
To enhance her strength, she had allocated all of them to her Physique.
At this moment, if Su Bai engaged in close combat, she could steadily hold her own against a Cultivator at Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase.
It was precisely because she had the confidence to protect herself that Su Bai had not submitted her resignation to the Lin Family.
Within this Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, there was a Low Grade Second-Tier Spiritual Vein.
Although she was on the outskirts and could only enjoy a Low Grade First-Tier branch, it was sufficient for Qi Refinement Stage cultivation.
If she were to leave here, she would have to rely on Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones to continue Cultivating.
After all, Cultivating on a Spiritual Vein and Cultivating solely on external Spiritual Qi had different speeds.
The day the Spiritual Rice matured arrived quickly.
After the harvest, Wang Daye indeed left.
After Wang Daye departed, Su Bai became even more reclusive.
She usually didn't even go to the market.
She stayed at home every day, cultivating her land and practicing martial arts.
However, the Cultivation World had an abundance of those at the bottom.
Before long, Su Bai had a new neighbor next door.
An elder who looked to be over sixty.
Of course, Cultivators cannot be judged by their appearance. This elder could very well be the same age as Wang Daye.
Upon the arrival of the new neighbor, Su Bai specially brought two bowls of Spiritual Rice to visit him.
These two bowls of Spiritual Rice, for a low-level Cultivator, could last for a week.
The other party accepted this humble gift with a smile.
Just as Su Bai was thinking that things could continue peacefully, allowing her to Cultivate steadily, night fell.
Su Bai, who was meditating, suddenly felt a slight disturbance in the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
She quickly opened her eyes, opened her door, and looked towards the direction where she felt the disturbance.
She saw that the distant night sky was now filled with a purple glow.
The Zi Yun Secret Realm had opened!
While Su Bai was still in a daze, whoosh!
The Loose Cultivators in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market could no longer sit still.
They all piloted their Magical Artifacts and flew towards the Secret Realm.
Even a few Spiritual Farmers in the Spiritual Fields, unwilling to be outdone, released their Low Grade Magical Artifacts and flew out with them.
The sky was filled with Cultivators.
Among them were several powerful auras that made Su Bai feel a sense of threat.
Powerful Cultivators at Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase!
After sensing that powerful aura, Su Bai shrunk her neck and retreated into her wooden house.
The Purple Bamboo Immortal Market had descended into complete chaos.
As for the Secret Realm, other Cultivators could go if they wished.
Su Bai would not get involved in this muddy water.
She had the System, the myriad realms cauldron, and eternal life.
She just wanted to live well.
Why would she touch such dangerous things?
She would honestly Cultivate her land!
After the Zi Yun Secret Realm opened, besides cultivating her land and practicing martial arts, Su Bai developed a new interest.
Watching the distant purple glow and the various Cultivators emerging from the Zi Yun Secret Realm.
Every day, Cultivators returned with excited expressions.
From their faces, it was clear they had gained many benefits.
Of course, there were also those Cultivators who were covered in bandages and had blood-stained faces.
These were the unlucky ones, who gained nothing and suffered many injuries.
Su Bai, meanwhile, sat in her Spiritual Field, watching the changing situation, without participating in anything.
As Su Bai was enjoying the purple glow as part of her daily routine, "Su Bai."
Hmm? Who called me?
Hearing someone call her name, Su Bai looked up at the sky.
She saw Lin Steward piloting a flying boat Magical Artifact, hovering above Su Bai's head.
Seeing that it was Lin Steward, Su Bai cursed inwardly, but on the surface, she said:
"Greetings, Lin Steward. This year's harvest has concluded, and it will take some time before replanting. Have you come here for a specific matter?"
"If so, this humble one is willing to serve."
Su Bai bowed and scraped, seemingly afraid of angering the other party, which clearly pleased Lin Steward.
Lin Steward smiled.
"Su Bai, I heard you sold Qi Returning Powder a few times in the market?"
"That is correct."
Earning Spirit Stones solely as a Spiritual Farmer was too slow, so Su Bai had sold Medicinal Pills a few times in the Loose Cultivator market.
They were all Low Grade First-Tier Medicinal Pills, so there was no need to be secretive about it.
Hearing Su Bai admit it, Lin Steward's smile deepened.
"Hmm, can you refine Bigu Pill?"
"To Lin Steward, yes, but I'm not proficient. The finished Medicinal Pills barely break even."
"That's good enough. I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you, to purchase your Qi Returning Powder and Bigu Pill. If you perform well, you can stop being a Spiritual Farmer, and with my guarantee, go to the Lin Family to guard their Medicinal Field. How does that sound?"
Upon hearing Lin Steward's words, Su Bai immediately feigned ecstatic joy.
She quickly responded, as if afraid Lin Steward would change his mind.
"It is Su Bai's honor to serve the Lin Family."
"Very good. Then, in a month, I will come to collect the Medicinal Pills. We shall see your performance then."
"Yes, respectfully seeing off Lin Steward."
After Lin Steward flew away, Su Bai slowly raised her head, the ecstatic joy on her face gone, replaced by a calm expression.
She gently rubbed her chin and murmured, "It seems the Lin Family is already in a state of disarray because of this Zi Yun Secret Realm."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't come to me, a small Spiritual Farmer, for help with Alchemy."
One must know that Low Grade First-Tier artisans are the least valuable.
Within the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, among ten people who can refine Bigu Pill, there are at least three, if not five.
Lin Steward coming to her was probably because he was assigned a task.
But he didn't want to find other Loose Cultivators.
"Hmph!"
"It's highly likely that Alchemists outside are demanding high prices right now, and he coincidentally heard that I, a small Spiritual Farmer, also know a bit of Alchemy. Now he wants to find me, who usually acts subservient, to profit from it."
However, this was also an opportunity for Su Bai.
That Lin Family's Medicinal Garden was much more appealing than these Spiritual Fields!
