If you ask who this male cultivator is, by sheer coincidence, he happens to be a disciple of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace!
At this moment, he was concealing his identity and traveling around, and he came to the City of Loose Cultivators.
The disciple's mind raced, but for some reason, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood by the roadside, listening to the discussions among the rogue cultivators.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai Tong has a Daoist partner? She's so beautiful..."
"You're really out of touch. I heard that Fairy Bai Tong has a senior brother who is deeply in love with her, and the two are very close. I just don't know why, but I haven't seen him for many years."
Someone said in a strange tone, "It doesn't matter if she didn't come. She has the Golden Crow Fire. She can advance so quickly. She'll definitely find someone better in the future."
"Look at your sour tone, aren't you ashamed?"
The man gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, I just remembered, wasn't it said that Fellow Daoist Bai Tong wasn't from a rogue cultivator background, but came from a sect? She's been in the Rogue Cultivator City for fifteen years, why haven't any people from her sect come looking for her?"
Several alchemists and artifact cultivators smiled with relief, saying smugly, "It's better that they didn't come! Maybe the sect was blind and didn't value Fairy Bai Tong, which is why they let her go. Now that she's become a top-tier alchemist and artifact cultivator, let them regret it!"
Over the years, the cultivators of the Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Workshop have long regarded Tong Su as one of their own.
The cultivators of the Loose Cultivator City value loyalty and straightforwardness, and Tong Su's hard work and diligence were all noticed by them.
Moreover, Tongsu never looked down on them; on the contrary, she would carefully and earnestly guide them when they asked questions, and they remembered each and every one of these things.
The male cultivator from Ziwei Heavenly Palace became even more confused upon hearing this.
Suddenly, the auspicious clouds in the sky contracted, releasing a burst of spiritual energy. The others laughed, "She's successfully advanced! She's about to emerge from seclusion. Let's wait here and see if it's Fairy Bai Tong."
Sure enough, a moment later, the gates of the weapon-refining workshop opened, and Tong Su walked out surrounded by many students. People on the roadside greeted her with smiles: "Congratulations, Fairy Bai!"
Tong Su smiled wryly, feeling embarrassed: "Everyone is too kind to me. It's just an advancement to the mid-stage of Core Formation. It's nothing to celebrate like this, senior brothers and sisters."
"Hey, Xiaobai, you're being too modest! At such a young age, shouldn't you celebrate properly?"
"That's right, you've been holed up in the alchemy and weapon-refining rooms for over a decade. You're usually quite diligent, but even the most diligent person needs to relax a bit. We absolutely have to take you out for a walk today!"
"And besides, Xiaobai, you don't know, you happened to be in seclusion during your enlightenment while you were learning at the weapon-refining workshop. You have no idea how jealous those people in the alchemy pavilion were! We're just trying to annoy them, hahaha..."
Tong Su had no choice but to go out and relax, not wanting to spoil everyone's fun. Besides, she had just reached a bottleneck in both alchemy and weapon crafting. Xuan Yan Dan Zu and Wen Qing Yuan Zu also suggested that she go out for a walk to clear her head.
Thinking of this, she could only nod and say with a smile, "Then let's find a restaurant and have a good meal. It's on me."
The diet in the cultivation world is naturally different from that in the mortal world; it uses spiritual herbs and beasts to nourish the body.
Although those who practice fasting do not need to rely on food to survive, they will not give up their appetites even after they ascend to the Mahayana realm.
Everyone was overjoyed: "Great! We heard that your pills and magical artifacts sold for a good price, so we're going to rip you off today!"
Tong Su laughed loudly: "You can eat and drink as much as you want, I'll make sure you're full today."
"That's a deal then! Don't blame us for eating you out of house and home, hahaha!"
