Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Demon Hunting Association

"Alchemist, Low Grade, Legacy."

"Can refine Pill Formula and techniques for Qi Refining Alchemists."

"Although I've seen it before, my heart still beats a little faster when I actually start."

After a careful check, Su Bai left the room.

She had already chosen the place to plant Spirit Medicine.

Mingyu Sect is located on a green mountain.

Behind the mountain is a continuous mountain range, rarely visited by people.

It was perfect for Su Bai to choose a safe place.

She used her movement technique and swept towards the back of the mountain.

It took her most of the morning to pick a spot.

When she arrived at an area surrounded by ancient trees and overgrown with weeds, she stabilized her figure.

This place was remote enough.

Su Bai formed a Spell Seal, mobilizing the Spiritual Qi within her body.

"Small Gengjin Grass Cutting Art!"

After using the Spell just once, Su Bai felt a quarter of the Spiritual Qi in her body deplete.

Qi Refining Second Layer was still too weak.

She patted her Storage Pouch and threw out the Black Iron Hoe, then began to clear the surroundings.

After clearing about three plots of land, Su Bai planted some common herbs of this world in the cultivated soil.

This was just a cover-up.

After all, Su Bai couldn't be sure if anyone would be bored enough to enter these deep mountains.

She also wasn't sure if Yao Beasts would appear here.

Once the surface was ready, Su Bai once again formed a Spell Seal and used an Earth-attribute Spell, starting to dig a hole!

Good things naturally had to be hidden!

After her Spiritual Qi was almost completely exhausted, Su Bai wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, an excavated medicinal field had appeared underground.

The seeds had already been planted.

"Now for the main event."

Su Bai opened her palm, and a small cauldron suddenly appeared in her hand.

This was naturally the myriad realms cauldron.

However, the cauldron body looked somewhat illusory, not entirely real.

And within the cauldron, there was a small pool of emerald green liquid: Creation Essence.

Su Bai looked at the wooden bucket beside her.

The bucket contained water that had already been drawn.

She carefully tilted the cauldron body.

As the myriad realms cauldron tilted, the liquid inside also began to flow.

Under Su Bai's intense gaze, a drop of Creation Essence fell into the bucket and mixed with the water in the bucket.

The originally clear mountain spring water immediately took on a light green hue.

"One drop should be enough, right?" Su Bai murmured.

She had only experimented once before and was a bit unsure.

However, if it wasn't enough, she could always add more!

Picking up the wooden bucket, Su Bai began to irrigate the medicinal field.

"Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Technique!"

As the diluted Creation Essence was sprinkled out, a miraculous scene occurred.

The Spirit Medicine, which had just been planted as seeds, broke through the soil one after another.

Even with the growth of the Spirit Medicine, Su Bai could feel that the previously thin Spiritual Qi in the surroundings began to gather towards the Spirit Medicine.

After taking a satisfying breath, Su Bai looked at the Spirit Medicine seedlings and continued to irrigate them.

With the Creation Essence, she would be able to Cultivate the Spirit Medicine to maturity today.

Soon, a day passed.

"Luzon Fruit, Kiwi Fruit, Medicine God Flower..."

"All newly grown, no age..."

Su Bai observed the Spirit Medicine, identifying its age according to the knowledge in the Legacy Jade Slip.

The age was a bit low.

"Forget it, it's just for practice anyway. Low age is fine, as long as I can form a Medicinal Pill!"

Pills for Qi Refining didn't require overly profound techniques or demands.

Reaching out, she collected the Spirit Medicine she needed.

Su Bai marked this plot of land and then left to return to Mingyu Sect.

She was going to start Alchemy!

"Phew, luckily the demands for Qi Refinement Stage Pills aren't high, otherwise I would have to buy a Pill Furnace."

"My wealth can't support such a precious item."

Although Mingyu Sect was not a top-tier School, it still had a Scripture Pavilion and an Alchemy room.

Su Bai, using her identity as the Sect Leader's Personal Disciple, easily borrowed the Alchemy tools.

Once the tools were complete, it was time for Alchemy.

She directly used Spiritual Qi to extract the medicinal liquid, then, with the help of her Divine Sense, observed the changes in medicinal properties, and finally kneaded them into Pills.

There was also the blessing of her magical power points, which made Su Bai's control over Spiritual Qi even more meticulous.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, this step alone would take a lot of time, whether it was summarizing failed experiences or familiarizing oneself with the medicinal properties of the Spirit Medicine.

But Divine Sense helped Su Bai skip this step, making her appear like an Alchemy Genius.

Although her technique was rusty, she proceeded step by step in an orderly manner.

Then... her first attempt at Alchemy failed... "Phew~ No rush, I'm already familiar with it."

Comforting herself, Su Bai quickly began her second attempt at Alchemy.

The second time, she was indeed much more familiar.

Soon, in Su Bai's hands, batch after batch of Qi Returning Powder was refined.

These items, if sold, could earn quite a bit.

In fact, the earnings from these two days might even be more than what she earned from a year of hard farming!

"Hoo~"

As a breath was slowly exhaled, half a month had passed since Su Bai became an Innate Grandmaster.

She had completely familiarized herself with this Realm.

And the Spirit Medicine cultivation was going very smoothly.

In addition to Qi Returning Powder, there were also Gathering Spirit Pill and other Medicinal Pills.

Su Bai had just finished refining a Gathering Spirit Pill, and the effect was excellent!

One Medicinal Pill was equivalent to two months of her diligent Cultivation!

At this rate, she would reach Qi Refining Third Layer completely within half a month!

"Once my Qi Refining cultivation also reaches the Middle Stage, I'll start selling Medicinal Pills!"

Her plan to earn Spirit Stones flashed through her mind.

"Of course, before selling Medicinal Pills to earn Spirit Stones, I must first teach Wang Mazi a lesson!"

Su Bai stood up and began to Cultivate the "Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Art."

But after a while, Su Bai stopped.

She frowned deeply.

"It's no longer effective..."

Yes, after becoming an Innate Grandmaster, the Martial Dao she cultivated had reached its end.

This news was not good.

Although for her current self, Body Refining Middle Stage was already sufficient, what about the future?

"In the future, can I only go back to Cultivating Body Refining Cultivation Techniques from the Immortal Realm?"

But that would consume a lot more resources.

Currently, she was planting Spirit Medicine and refining pills, barely breaking even.

If she were to also Body Refining, she would go bankrupt in minutes.

"No, although Innate is the pinnacle of Martial Dao in this world, there is still Yao Beast meat."

Yao Beast meat could increase a Martial Artist's vital energy.

That is to say, the upper limit could actually be raised a bit.

To verify the conjecture in her mind, Su Bai got up and went to find Ye Guojiang.

When she arrived at the Mingyu Sect's main hall, Ye Guojiang was indeed playing chess and drinking tea here.

It seemed he, as Sect Leader, usually didn't have any urgent matters, and he seemed to have put aside his Cultivation.

As Su Bai walked over, Ye Guojiang saw her.

"Disciple, is there something wrong?"

After all, Su Bai only visited when she had something important; after returning, she had been engrossed in her own Cultivation and hadn't shown her face for half a month.

Su Bai awkwardly scratched her head.

"Master, I feel that the obstacle to my Breakthrough is quite large, and I need more Yao Beast meat, so..."

"I want to go to that Demon Hunting Association now."

Su Bai did not mention that she had already broken through.

It was always right to be careful.

If she went to the Demon Hunting Association like this, and they saw her as just a Grandmaster, not yet Innate, they probably wouldn't assign her overly difficult tasks.

After listening to Su Bai's words, Ye Guojiang nodded.

"Very well, if you want to make progress, then go. I will tell you the address now."

For Su Bai, his youngest Disciple, Ye Guojiang would agree to anything.

He quickly told Su Bai the address of the Demon Hunting Association branch.

After getting the address, Su Bai directly left Mingyu Sect.

However, she did not go directly to the Demon Hunting Association branch.

Instead, she first went to her medicinal garden.

She had already consumed most of the Medicinal Pills on her person.

Before a long journey, it was naturally necessary to prepare some in advance.

After Su Bai rushed to make another batch of new Medicinal Pills, she felt relieved, touching her Storage Pouch.

Then she walked towards the nearest Demon Hunting Association branch.

However, the place was a bit far.

To hurry on her way, Su Bai no longer felt tired.

She controlled her Low Grade Magical Artifact, the Black Iron Hoe, to fly through the air.

Others flew on swords, but she could only ride a hoe.

There was no other way.

Who told her she was poor?

Even this one and only Low Grade Magical Artifact was an inheritance left by her long-dead father.

She, a dignified Cultivator, was not doing well at all!

Of course, a Qi Refining cultivator's magical power was limited, and flying with an object couldn't last for long.

But the advantage was being able to bypass some dangerous areas and take a direct route, saving a lot of time.

Looking at the black hoe under her feet, Su Bai also felt her own poverty.

She could only shake her head helplessly; who told her she was a Loose Cultivator?

"After I go back this time, I'll sell the Medicinal Pills I refined. No matter what, I'm going to exchange for a better-looking Magical Artifact."

She mumbled.

In the distance, Su Bai saw the silhouette of a city, realizing she was almost there.

She found an uninhabited area and flew down, then walked towards the city she saw.

It didn't take long before she arrived at the city gate.

"Baiyun City."

Looking at the plaque above the city gate, Su Bai scratched her head; she had arrived.

After paying the toll, she didn't have time to look at the local customs.

Su Bai walked straight towards the Inner City.

The main street was bustling with people, considered quite prosperous.

However, the deeper she went, the fewer people there were.

Similarly, the clothes of the people walking on the road became more splendid.

Su Bai walked until she reached a tall building before stopping.

Martial Pavilion.
