She began to Cultivate according to the Cultivation Technique recorded in the Medicine King Canon.
After allowing the spiritual energy to circulate within her body once,
in Su Bai's perception,
the wood-attribute spiritual energy in the air became exceptionally distinct.
This was the essence of plants and trees within Spirit Medicine.
It was also a necessary condition for Cultivating the Medicine King Canon.
"Generally, Cultivators with a Wood Spiritual Root, regardless of the Cultivation Technique they Cultivate or the attribute of their spiritual energy, are very gentle, which also allows these types of Cultivators to have a longer Lifespan than other Cultivators."
"Although I don't Cultivate a wood-attribute Cultivation Technique, this Medicine King Canon is quite similar."
After all, one absorbs wood-attribute spiritual energy, while the other absorbs the essence of plants and trees.
Following the Cultivation Technique in the Medicine King Canon, Su Bai absorbed the essence of plants and trees from the Medicinal Pill field, and after it circulated once within her body, she felt a connection between the spiritual energy in her body and the essence of plants and trees in the air.
Even if she didn't deliberately circulate the Cultivation Technique,
those plant and tree essences would still be absorbed by her.
However, once she left the Medicinal Pill garden too far,
this connection would be severed.
This was also what Zhang Tianhai had mentioned before: Cultivation required staying in a place full of Spirit Medicine.
At this moment, Su Bai could only say,
although she had Cultivated for decades, she hadn't made many friends.
Otherwise, if Fellow Daoists came to her place every day, how could she Cultivate?
Cultivation knows no time.
In a blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Haijiao Cliff, inside the Medicinal Pill garden.
A white figure sat quietly within it.
She was surrounded by various centuries-old Spirit Medicine.
With each breath Su Bai took, the essence of plants and trees was drawn into her body, then circulated once along the Cultivation Technique's route.
After finishing a day's Cultivation,
she slowly opened her eyes.
She stretched her limbs.
She directly added her attribute points to Creation Essence, and the points had already reached nineteen.
Now, the Medicine King Canon had been thoroughly mastered.
During the process of consuming Medicinal Pills, Su Bai could already feel the powerful effects of this Cultivation Technique.
The Huanglong Pill had restored its original effect, and even when taking Qi Refining Pills, Su Bai's consumption of High Grade Medicinal Pills yielded two-tenths better results than other Cultivators.
This could save her more than ten days of arduous Cultivation out of thin air.
Although Su Bai's cultivation was still at Refining Qi (8th Layer), she had already touched the threshold of the ninth layer of Qi Refining.
She would be able to Breakthrough in a few years.
Su Bai's greatest achievement in these years was her remarkable progress in Formation mastery.
She was already a qualified First-Order High Grade Formation Master.
But it also made Su Bai understand just how powerful a Second-Order Formation Master truly was.
The computational ability required was not something she could currently grasp.
To think that Xu Changge became a Second-Order Formation Master before she even gained Divine Sense.
Her Aptitude was truly too good.
During these ten years, Xu Changge would occasionally send her a sound transmission talisman.
The general idea was to invite Su Bai to her place as a guest.
However, Su Bai always refused, citing Cultivation as the reason.
It was in recent years that Shen Fang's visits to her place became more frequent.
This beautiful woman often brought her son and daughter to chat with Su Bai.
Shen Fang and Lu Ning had five children together.
Four of them had Spiritual Roots.
The best Aptitude was a Three Spiritual Root.
This was her eldest son.
Both husband and wife were Cultivators, and both were at the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase, so the chances of their offspring having Spiritual Roots were higher.
Currently, Lu Ning was raising silkworms in his Purple Blue Garden, working with the children.
Shen Fang, on the other hand, made silk into magical robes and sold them.
After the couple gave up their aspirations for Foundation Establishment, they poured all their efforts into their children.
Now, even though Shen Fang had taken beauty-preserving Medicinal Pills,
a few white hairs could still be found among her dark locks.
Not long after Su Bai finished Cultivating, Shen Fang's voice came from outside the Formation.
"Younger Sister Su, are you there?"
Hearing the voice, Su Bai opened the Formation and let Shen Fang in.
As soon as she entered the Formation, Shen Fang took a deep breath.
"Younger Sister Su, the Spirit Medicine you've cultivated over the years has become increasingly better."
Su Bai came out to greet Shen Fang, a smile on her face.
"It's alright. I used to have experience as a Spiritual Farmer. These Spirit Medicine were planted as soon as I moved here, and with a Second-Order Spiritual Vein as support, their growth is quite good."
As Su Bai spoke,
she saw two handsome young men and women following behind Shen Fang.
They were Shen Fang's son and daughter.
As Su Bai looked at them, they also bowed to Su Bai.
"Hello, Aunt Su."
"Mmm, Xiao Quan, Lu Hong have grown up."
Lu Quan was Shen Fang's eldest son, with a Three Spiritual Root. He had just come of age and was already a Cultivator at Qi Refining (5th Layer).
It seemed Lu Ning and Shen Fang had put a lot of effort into him.
Su Bai thought that in the years she had chatted with Shen Fang, the Medicinal Pills the other party had exchanged for silk from her were probably mostly consumed by this boy.
The other graceful young woman,
with elegant posture and beautiful features, exuding the aura of a well-bred young lady, was Shen Fang's eldest daughter, Lv Hong.
Her Aptitude was not too good; she was one year younger than Lu Quan and was currently at Qi Refining (3rd Layer).
Her future achievements would certainly not compare to her elder brother's.
However, Shen Fang's entire craftsmanship would likely be passed down to Lv Hong.
"Come, let's go inside and sit. I'll make you some tea."
"Hehehe, Younger Sister Su's cultivation skills are impressive. My husband and I have been craving your spiritual tea for a long time."
Her Haijiao Cliff had ample space.
Besides farmland and Medicinal Pill fields,
Su Bai also planted other things, such as peach trees transplanted from Peach Blossom Mountain, and tea trees acquired from other places.
With Creation Essence, Su Bai's tea had a mellow and delicious taste.
Everyone who drank it praised it.
Shen Fang always came to Su Bai's place these years, not only because Su Bai was a good Alchemist,
but also because Su Bai's age was gradually increasing.
In Shen Fang's view, although Su Bai had always insisted on arduous Cultivation,
the results were not good.
She was slowly going to miss the best age for Foundation Establishment.
In the future, she might end up like their Lu Family.
In fact, Shen Fang not only frequently visited Su Bai's side but also often went to the Yang Family's side.
In the future, everyone would be a Cultivation Family living on the same island.
Regardless of what the future held, they needed to maintain good relations now.
The Xu Family, with Xu Changge, was already a Foundation Establishment Family, protected by an Old Ancestor.
They didn't need others to worry about them.
But they were still a Qi Refining Family, so they naturally needed to stick together for warmth.
Shen Fang took a sip of the spiritual tea Su Bai handed her, her eyes lighting up.
She even felt that the fatigue in her waist from unraveling silkworm cocoons was relieved.
Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy from the spiritual tea, her entire body and mind felt relaxed.
Lu Quan and Lv Hong, these two juniors, didn't have as many complex thoughts.
When they drank something good, it was evident on their faces.
They praised it incessantly.
"Aunt Su's spiritual tea is so fragrant, it was worth the trip."
"Mmm, Big Brother is right. I also feel that this spiritual tea makes me feel comfortable, and even the Bottleneck of Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase has loosened a bit."
Hearing Lv Hong's words, Su Bai chuckled.
She was like an elder.
"Since that's the case, then drink more. Perhaps today is a good day for you to Breakthrough."
"Mmm, thank you, Aunt Su."
After enjoying the role of an elder for a while, Su Bai continued chatting with Shen Fang.
But Shen Fang suddenly took Su Bai's hand, her face somewhat mysterious as she said:
"Sister Su, you see, the path for us Cultivators is either to continue walking it, or to branch out and have descendants."
"You are now over sixty years old, and the hope of Foundation Establishment is gradually becoming slim."
"If you don't mind, if you want to find a Dao Companion, just tell your elder sister. Your elder sister knows many talented young men, and I guarantee you'll have offspring with excellent Bloodline."
"..."
Hearing Shen Fang's words, the smile on Su Bai's face completely froze.
So, you also do matchmaker business, do you?
