This created an opportunity for Xu Changge.
It allowed her to return and vent her anger properly.
To assert the prestige of her Xu Family Old Ancestor.
Su Bai, on the other hand, arrived at the Purple Blue Garden.
To see her old friends.
At this time, the large Formation on the island had been withdrawn.
The Cultivators of Ebony Island all knew that the crisis had passed.
The Purple Blue Garden was managed very well by the Lu Family.
A portion was used for growing flowers and raising bees.
Another portion was used for planting mulberries and raising silkworms.
Walking along the path, many Cultivators could be seen.
These were all descendants of the Lu Family.
Their common Old Ancestors were Lu Ning and Shen Fang.
Those with Cultivation Aptitude embarked on the path of Cultivation.
Those without Aptitude left to integrate into Mortal towns.
To develop in the secular world.
In the Purple Blue Garden, whether it was the planted orchards or the kept bees, they posed little danger to Cultivators.
But for Mortals, a slight touch could easily be fatal.
From afar, Su Bai saw three figures standing together.
It was Lu Ning, Shen Fang, and Lu Hong.
Lu Hong's elder and younger brothers had already gone to Xingluo Market to develop.
Her younger sisters had also married, forming alliances with the Yang Family and the Xu Family.
Only Lu Hong, at Shen Fang's suggestion, became Su Bai's personal maid.
Now, although Lu Ning and Shen Fang still appeared robust, the wrinkles around their eyes and their heads full of white hair indicated that their Lifespan had indeed been greatly diminished.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Shen, you both look quite well."
Su Bai walked slowly towards them with a slight smile on her face.
Lu Ning looked at Su Bai approaching from a distance.
He felt a mix of emotions in his heart.
He envied Su Bai from the bottom of his heart.
When they were in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, Su Bai's Cultivation was the lowest, and her Aptitude was the worst.
But now, she had already become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
While he was still in the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase.
It was a matter of timing and fate.
The path of Cultivation was not smooth.
Shen Fang looked at Su Bai, her aged hand intertwined with her daughter Lu Hong's.
She squeezed slightly, then slowly let go.
If her daughter followed her, she would also end up like her, exhausting her Lifespan and reaching her end.
But Lu Hong sought longevity.
Lu Hong's life now was basically half spent growing up with her parents and half spent Cultivating by Su Bai's side.
Now Shen Fang also knew that she had reached her limit.
Lu Hong noticed her mother's hand letting go.
Her arm moved slightly, but in the end, she did not try to hold on.
Only the tears that suddenly welled up in her eyes made her look up at the sky, speechless with emotion.
"Fellow Daoist Su, time flows, and the Dao is merciless."
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Ning smiled and cupped his hands at Su Bai.
The couple invited Su Bai into the house.
This time, Su Bai was just passing by to check in.
After seeing that the Lu Family and Lu Hong were safe, she felt relieved.
Sitting on a chair, Lu Hong served tea to everyone.
Su Bai observed the layout of the room.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, your Family is developing quite well."
The pavilions and towers lacked excessive ornate decorations.
It was very suitable for those who preferred a simple life.
Regarding Su Bai's praise, Lu Ning merely smiled.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Su, it's just a place to live; these are all external things. Among us, the Righteous Path is to go further on the path of Cultivation."
Currently, the Lu Family's business in Thousand Silk Pavilion was already sufficient to support their Family.
Lu Ning and Shen Fang had stopped Cultivating for a long time, dedicating their resources to the younger generation.
They hoped that among their descendants, there would be someone who could continue to advance in the future.
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Bai departed.
At this moment, Lu Hong chased after her from behind.
Su Bai asked directly, "What's wrong? Following me out?"
Lu Hong glanced behind her.
"After my father and mother pass away, I must diligently Cultivate…"
"This time, the attack by the Foundation Establishment Cultivator made me realize that in the ever-changing Immortal Realm, living comfortably and at ease does not guarantee absolute safety."
"Aunt Su, wait for me to return, to return to your side…"
"During the time I'm temporarily away, let this take my place. It's a protective Talisman, I sewed a strand of my hair inside."
Lu Hong pulled out a small item from her sleeve.
A small lotus-shaped sachet.
After handing the protective Talisman to Su Bai, Lu Hong ran towards her home.
This behavior made Su Bai touch her own neck, then shake her head and leave the Lu Family.
Later, Su Bai returned to her Sea Corner Cliff and began refining Puppets.
She did not emerge for several months until Xu Changge came to find Su Bai when she planned to return to the market.
Only then did she appear.
Xu Changge stood in the Medicinal Pill garden and asked towards Su Bai's pavilion, "Xiao Bai, will you accompany elder sister back to the market?"
"Your Danfu Pavilion's Medicinal Pills must have sold out by now."
At this moment, Su Bai pushed open the door and walked out.
Upon seeing Su Bai, Xu Changge was a bit confused.
"Xiao Bai, you…"
"Is it very real?"
The Su Bai in front of Xu Changge spoke.
"This is a simulated Puppet. I made it in my own image. During this time, I meticulously carved this Puppet and incorporated my experience with Formations and Talismans into it."
"Finally, I created this Puppet that looks exactly like me and has a similar aura."
"Unfortunately, I am limited by Materials and Legacy, so I still couldn't make it a Tier 2 Puppet."
Then "Su Bai" sighed.
Her demeanor and tone were almost identical to the real Su Bai.
It was evident that Su Bai had put a lot of effort into this Puppet.
If it weren't for Xu Changge having spent a long time with Su Bai, she would have easily been fooled upon first seeing this Puppet.
"Little Sister Bai, what are you doing with this kind of Puppet? It doesn't seem to be of much use in combat, does it?"
Xu Changge curiously extended her finger and poked the Puppet's cheek.
It was hard.
It seemed this Puppet was only superficially similar; it hadn't reached the point of truly being able to pass off as real.
In terms of feel, it was not as good as a real person.
Xu Changge kept evaluating it internally.
"Su Bai" nodded.
"Yes, this Puppet, in order to achieve simulation, has extremely poor combat ability. Although it is a High Grade Tier 1 Puppet, its strength is the same as a Medium Grade Tier 1 Puppet."
"However, I don't intend to use this Puppet for combat."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Xu Changge was puzzled.
"What? Not using this Puppet for combat? Then what are you using it for?"
"Don't tell me!"
Xu Changge seemed to have thought of something.
A blush spread across her cheeks.
She quickly waved her hands.
"No! Elder sister won't allow it!"
"This kind of Puppet, you can only use it for elder sister! Not for anyone else!"
Seeing Xu Changge's big reaction, Su Bai was directly confused.
"This Puppet was originally for you, elder sister."
"Ah?"
Xu Changge froze in place, thinking she had misheard.
"Really, really giving it to elder sister?"
"Really."
At this moment, Su Bai's true body also walked out of the house.
She told Xu Changge the method to control the Puppet and explained her plans.
The Song Family and the surrounding small Families dared to hire Foundation Establishment Cultivators to attack. Although the main target was Xu Changge, she was also implicated.
How could Su Bai not seek revenge?
She refined this simulated Puppet, identical to herself, precisely so Xu Changge could take it back to Xingluo Market to mislead others.
As for her, she was going to do something big!
