Ball Ball Cultivation

Bai Yi returned to the room he had chosen, took out the storage bag he had just received, and carefully read the several jade slips inside. They introduced the origin, organization, and rules and regulations of Duobao Pavilion. In addition, there were several sets of yellow clothes, a map of Duobao Pavilion headquarters, and some spirit stones and elixirs. It was very detailed.

The next morning, Bai Yuhang arrived at the Second Elder's residence. As soon as he activated the formation, Bai Yi came out to greet him personally. He was flattered. After all, the Pavilion Master and the Nine Elders were the controllers of Duobao Pavilion. He and his brother, Bai Yuqin, were merely deacons or stewards. It seemed the new Second Elder's successor hadn't quite adjusted to his new role. When they met yesterday, he'd thought he was young, yet already possessed a commanding presence, a kingly demeanor. He must be from a prominent family. Could it be that he was being treated with special courtesy, trying to win me over?

Ahem, we have to wait and see. My brother is the confidant of the Pavilion Master. If two brothers join two families, I don’t know what will happen in the future. Will both brothers be ignored?

Bai Yi didn't follow Bai Yuhang directly, but led him directly to the garden pavilion. What did he see? Two handsome little boys, about three or four years old, had black claw marks on their faces. Each of them had what must have been the skeleton of a bird's wing, the meat had been gnawed cleanly, but they were reluctant to throw it away. Their big round eyes stared eagerly at a long, rectangular object with four unroasted bird wings on it. A beautiful female student, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, was roasting the wings. Next to her, a girl about thirteen or fourteen was skewering mushrooms and vegetables on bamboo sticks. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat.

When Qiuqiu saw Bai Yi and his men coming in, he immediately said to Bai Er, "Get some more meat. We still have a lot of sea beast meat. Bring it out and skewer it. After it's grilled, let's give it to Fellow Daoist Bai to try."

Bai Yuhang quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I am Bai Yuhang, nice to meet you, senior. Thank you for your hospitality."

He saluted Bai Yi again and said, "Young Elder, it was my fault that I should have sent you some basic necessities yesterday."

Bai Yi waved his hand quickly: "Don't be polite, we all have them. You can just call me Brother Xu. When I truly become the Second Elder, I can change the name."

Pointing at Qiuqiu, he said, "This is my mother, Xu Qiu." Then he pointed at Baier and said, "This is my sister, Xu Baier, and these are my brothers, Xu Xuanchen and Xu Xuanshen. Father has other important matters to attend to, so please forgive me for not being able to come."

Bai Er brought the two little foodies and greeted Bai Yuhang.

Qiuqiu quickly grilled the vegetables and seafood, especially the claws of her treasured Foundation Establishment octopus. Adding them to the spiritually rich seasoning, Qiuqiu applied the simple alchemy techniques to the grilling, allowing the flavors of the seasoning to penetrate the meat through the spiritual energy. The aroma permeated the air, making the mouths water. The six of them devoured all the barbecued meat and spiritual vegetables, but they still felt unsatisfied.

Xuan Shen touched his bulging belly and complained to Qiuqiu: "Why did you make such delicious food for us for the first time?" Xuan Chen also felt the same way.

Qiuqiu: I didn’t think that a legendary creature like Xuanwu would like to eat seafood. Who knew it was an omnivore!

Hearing this, Bai Yuhang felt that the Bai Yi family must have taken out the most delicious and precious food to treat him, and he must get more good things for the Xu family!

This beautiful misunderstanding arose, so much so that many years later, whenever Bai Yuhang had something delicious, he would save a portion for the Xu family, because when he ate, he would think of Xuan Shen from time to time, and the pitiful expression of Xuan Shen gnawing on his bones, which also provided him with a strong backer.

Bai Yi followed Bai Yuhang out to familiarize themselves with Duobao Pavilion. Bai Er took the two little ones with him and taught them some common sense of the demon race and some enlightenment knowledge. He systematically taught his two younger brothers what he learned from the Fire Thunderbird tribe. Qiuqiu went to study the battle arena formation behind the mansion, looking like no one could disturb him.

Bai Yuhang brought Bai Yi to an exchange hall. Several people in the exchange hall seemed to know Bai Yuhang and greeted him. Then they took Bai Yi to a private room inside. A middle-aged steward in the Foundation Establishment stage came to greet him. Bai Yuhang introduced him to the steward, "Uncle Hu, this is the new Xu Baiyi, the successor of the Second Elder. He needs some daily necessities. Please help me get them."

Manager Hu had long observed Bai Yi with his spiritual sense. He was handsome, with a powerful aura, and a natural kingly demeanor. His eyes were clear and upright, and his wisdom was restrained. It was said that he had a single golden spiritual root, had reached peak Qi training at the age of thirteen, and now was to inherit the swordsmanship of the Second Elder. The Second Elder was a powerful figure whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, allowing him to challenge the old monster of the Divine Transformation Stage. His future was limitless, and he must definitely make an effort to befriend him.

"Hu Shi, the manager of the exchange office, greets the young elder. These basic supplies include free basic items, and you can also deduct some points to exchange for what you like. All of them are received according to the elder's treatment." This was also sold in advance, Manager Hu thought secretly in his heart.

"Just give me the basic version. There are five people in my family now, so I need to get enough daily necessities for five people. If not, my points will be deducted."

Bai Yuhang interrupted, "Uncle Hu, they have two children aged three or four who haven't practiced fasting. Please prepare a set of kitchen utensils, some better ones. The Second Elder didn't have any before. They also need to separate the tables, chairs, beds, quilts, pots and pans, shoes, hats, clothes and socks for adults and children. They haven't chosen any mortal servants yet, so see if you have any puppets and provide them with some."

Then he said to Bai Yi, "Second Elder, your yard is bare. Why don't you plant some spiritual flowers and fruits? We have seedlings and seeds here, you can choose any of them. We have a wide variety of spiritual beast meat and spiritual beast milk here. Would you like to exchange some? I used to exchange spiritual beast milk here when I was a child."

Bai Yi was also confused, so he handed the identity token to Manager Hu first, "Can you help me check how many points I have?"

Manager Hu took it and held it in front of an eye-shaped magical instrument. A string of numbers appeared on it. Manager Hu was stunned. This was the legendary rich man. He couldn't show his ignorance. So he said respectfully: "Look, there are a lot of points. You can exchange them at will."

Bai Yi: "Please configure my free quota for me first, and then add some more as needed. Let me take a look at the list first."

"Okay, please wait." Manager Hu handed Bai Yi five categorized jade slips and went out to pick the goods.

Bai Yuhang was not idle either, he also took the jade slip to look at it, "I want to see if there is anything new, I can recommend a few to you!"

Bai Yi carefully read the jade slips and realized how little knowledge he had. There were many things he had never even heard of. It seemed he needed to go to the Kung Fu Hall and find some basic books.

Qiuqiu, a country bumpkin, had arrived in this world of cultivation without any systematic training or mentoring from elders. The knowledge he had accumulated was essentially the commonplace stuff common to casual cultivators. Although he taught Bai Yi, Bai Er, and the others, it wasn't much. Furthermore, this was the exchange hall of Duobao Pavilion, the largest trading house in the world of cultivation. There was no more comprehensive catalog of items in the entire world of cultivation. This was why Bai Yi seemed so naive.

After a while, Manager Hu took out three low-level storage bags. Bai Yi took them and checked them one by one. It was hard for the manager to pack them into categories, so that everything could be clearly seen at a glance.

Most of them were labeled with names and instructions for use, which was very thoughtful. The last storage bag contained a lot of ingredients, and there were also a few large wooden barrels with "Bai Yuling Milk" written on them. It seemed that Bai Yuhang had listened to what he said just now, and these were all free gifts. It was Manager Hu who was deliberately trying to sell them well.

Bai Yi looked at the jade slip and used his points to exchange for another large magic house, which could be placed in the space. The palace and laboratory were not suitable for long-term habitation. The rest were a few rough wooden houses built by his mother herself.

This magic house is a large courtyard complex with complete facilities and a very detailed and warm layout. In the end, some materials for refining array plates were exchanged for Qiuqiu. As for the high-level pill recipes needed, they had to be exchanged at the Kung Fu Building.

Manager Hu handed the large magic house to Bai Yi with a complicated expression: "This was obtained by the Second Elder in an ancient cave when he was training outside. He put it in the exchange hall because he couldn't use it himself. Unexpectedly, it came back to his successor after many twists and turns. According to the regulations, it can be regarded as a withdrawal of exchange, and the points can be deducted according to the reward points at that time. Hey, this can also be regarded as a kind of fate." Bai Yi thanked Manager Hu and left the exchange hall with Bai Yuhang.

"Let's go to the Third Elder's place and pick some body-refining herbs, then go to the Kung Fu Building. I want to learn how to identify various treasures. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Bai Yi did not directly express his need to find a high-level elixir recipe for Xu Qiu. He was still in the observation period. His mother's elixir was rather special and had not yet attracted the attention of the senior management of Duobao Pavilion. He had no bargaining chips and could not reveal his cards too early.
