After Lu Hong returned to Danfu Pavilion, she consolidated her Qi Refining Peak Cultivator Realm.
Using the boost from her state of mind, she immediately began her Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Even though her Aptitude had allowed her to Cultivate to Qi Refining Peak, and with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, she only had a fifty percent chance of success.
After all, Lu Hong had not Cultivated any auxiliary Cultivation Techniques, nor had she increased her own Foundation.
But at this time, her state of mind had greatly improved.
At the very least, when Spiritual Qi entered her body, she would be able to pass through safely.
However, for this Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, both Lu Hong and Su Bai had great confidence.
Because the Spiritual Silkworm would act.
After the Spiritual Silkworm helped Lu Hong Breakthrough a Realm once before, Su Bai understood that this Spirit Beast's help to its master was truly too strong!
And when Lu Hong was Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment, Su Bai, under the guise of being a Protector, entered the secret chamber with Lu Hong.
She watched the entire process of Lu Hong's Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Normally, when one assaults a Realm, the Protector also stays outside the secret chamber.
No matter how good the relationship, it's the same.
This is to prevent the Cultivator from being unable to focus during the Breakthrough process; even a slight distraction could lead to an irretrievable situation.
But Lu Hong didn't think that much.
She only thought that with Su Bai by her side in the secret chamber, she would be seen by Su Bai without any reservations.
So, she readily agreed.
With a slight surge of Bloodline, she began to prepare for the Breakthrough.
As Su Bai expected, when Lu Hong was Breaking Through, besides her state of mind being sufficient to help her face the Divine Sense barrier, her other two aspects had some minor shortcomings.
But the Spiritual Silkworm didn't care.
When Lu Hong's Spiritual Qi couldn't keep up with the Breakthrough of the Mana barrier, the Spiritual Silkworm absorbed and exhaled Spiritual Qi, helping her pass this barrier.
Regarding the Qi and Blood barrier, although Lu Hong was still young and had abundant Qi and Blood, her Spiritual Root Aptitude somewhat hindered her.
This made Lu Hong appear very pained when facing the Spiritual Qi impact and her Physique constantly being strengthened.
She even suffered some internal injuries, with a trace of fresh blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
However, the Spiritual Silkworm and Lu Hong were basically of one mind and body.
When Lu Hong's body was injured by Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Silkworm dispersed its own Spiritual Qi to help its master regulate it.
Finally, the Spiritual Qi returned to the Spiritual Silkworm's body to nourish it.
After such a process, Lu Hong successfully Broke Through to Foundation Establishment.
The Spiritual Silkworm also smoothly Advanced to a Second-Grade Spirit Beast.
This made Su Bai a little envious and red-eyed.
Her Little Qing was only at the First-Grade Middle Stage right now!
It was of no help to her Cultivation!
In fact, she usually had to not only feed it with Beast-Feeding Pills but also use Spiritual Qi to cleanse its meridians!
No choice.
Su Bai really wanted to ride a Dragon.
Fortunately, she discovered that Little Qing could also increase its Cultivation by eating poisonous pills.
Otherwise, all the Dragon essence she had painstakingly obtained would have been wasted!
After Lu Hong Broke Through, she didn't immediately wake up.
Instead, she began to consolidate her Cultivation.
At the same time, she used the qualitative change in her Spiritual Qi liquid after Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment to recuperate her injured body.
At this time, Su Bai kept observing Lu Hong's Dantian.
She found that after Lu Hong Broke Through to Foundation Establishment, one thing was different from herself.
After Lu Hong became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her Spiritual Qi liquid was twenty drops.
She had thirty drops when she Broke Through!
Perhaps it was because I ate more Foundation Establishment Pills at that time.
But the stacked effect of Foundation Establishment Pills didn't seem to help much.
At this time, Su Bai thought of the Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription and Medicine King Canon she Cultivated.
The Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription had helped her possess Spiritual Qi far surpassing those of the same Realm during the Qi Refining period.
The Medicine King Canon even enhanced the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Perhaps the superposition of these two aspects was the reason why her Spiritual Qi liquid was exceptionally abundant and stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator as soon as she Broke Through.
Seeing that Lu Hong had entered meditation, Su Bai did not stay in the secret chamber.
She quietly left the secret chamber.
Time flies, years pass like shuttles, and in the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
Su Bai still added all the attribute points from these eight years to her Divine Soul.
This helped her comprehend Cultivation Techniques faster.
Today, Su Bai has officially become a Second-Grade Medium Grade Alchemist, a Second-Grade Medium Grade Formation Master, a Second-Grade Medium Grade Artifact Refiner, and a Second-Grade Medium Grade Talisman Master!
Her Cultivation has also increased from thirty-six drops of Spiritual Qi liquid to fifty drops of Spiritual Qi liquid!
If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they might have already been impatient to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
But Su Bai did not.
She used the Breath Regulation Method to refine her Foundation Establishment Foundation, and at the same time, based on the Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription, she continued to store Spiritual Qi, beginning to test the upper limit of this Cultivation Technique and make a Breakthrough.
She wanted to wait until her Spiritual Qi liquid accumulated to her limit, and then naturally Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
This decade of Cultivation speed finally allowed Su Bai to taste the fruits of her years of accumulation.
She accidentally obtained the Sword Nurturing Art, and after Foundation Establishment, spent ten years Cultivating the Spirit Sword Body, with Aptitude comparable to a Medium Grade Spiritual Root.
Another ten years of Cultivation.
The previous ten years of arduous Cultivation yielded four drops of Spiritual Qi liquid.
Now, ten years of Cultivation yielded fourteen drops of Spiritual Qi liquid!
Such a difference.
This is Aptitude!
This is Talent!
I, Su Bai, have come this far purely through my own efforts!
Little Qing has also been cultivated to the strength of a First-Grade Late Stage.
The Taming Beast Art has also achieved minor success.
I believe that in another twenty or fifteen years, Little Qing will be able to Breakthrough to Second-Grade.
At that time, she would be able to Cultivate with Little Qing in a complementary manner.
By then, Su Bai's Cultivation speed would be even faster!
The only regret these years was that she had not found a Legacy for Second-Grade Puppets.
Currently, First-Grade Puppets are no longer of much help to her.
Aside from pondering how to make Puppet dolls more lifelike, Su Bai hasn't made much progress in this skill.
Lu Hong has already officially become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
With the help of Divine Sense, even if her Alchemy Talent was mediocre, she is now a First-Grade High Grade Alchemist.
However, Yu Rou and Yu Ying's progress was not slow either.
They have already become First-Grade Medium Grade Alchemists.
They can refine pills for sale to obtain more Spirit Stone resources.
Especially Yu Ying, who also holds the title of a First-Grade Medium Grade Talisman Master.
Her natural talent is truly outstanding.
Of course, these eight years passed, and Su Bai also had a small birthday celebration.
For her hundredth birthday.
Su Bai hadn't planned on celebrating it.
But Xu Changge secretly, along with Lu Hong, held a banquet for her.
Su Bai couldn't refuse this.
She reluctantly went and was the birthday star for once.
She remembered that when Xu Changge turned one hundred, she never did anything like this.
In response, Xu Changge said:
"I forgot my own birthday at the time, and I also told the Xu Family juniors not to pay too much attention to my birthday."
"But I remember my sister's birthday very clearly."
Not long after Su Bai's hundredth birthday.
The Six Upper Sects began to officially open their mountain gates, preparing to accept disciples.
All the Loose Cultivators who were previously exploring the Southwest Sea suddenly returned to the Xingluo Market to participate in this disciple-acceptance ceremony.
Xingluo Market suddenly became overcrowded.
It could only start expanding again.
Originally, Seven Stars Mountain, including the surrounding area, was called the Inner City.
Now it has become the core zone.
Su Bai's Danfu Pavilion's value immediately soared!
And the original outer city area has now become the Inner City.
Yan Lei and his Night Sparrow Gang's status suddenly skyrocketed!
Now, even if someone is an Advanced Alchemist or another Advanced professional, they need to queue to meet Yan Lei.
Of course, Second-Grade professionals can still cut in line and cooperate with Yan Lei.
The newly expanded area of the market is now the Outer City of Xingluo Market.
