Transmigration begins with archery training

After passing through several villages and towns and several mountain peaks, a deep valley came into view. This place was called Twilight Valley, and it was also the location of the Bai family.

Chen Sanshi still did not choose to reveal his true identity, and even deliberately did not rush to the Bai family, just because he was afraid of being guessed.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

When we were about two miles away from Dusk Valley, two guards came to ask us questions.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

"Oh."

Chen Sanshi truthfully replied, "I am a wandering cultivator from the mountains. When I passed by this place, I noticed the noble notice. I happen to be a second-level alchemist, so I came to see if we could cooperate."

"I see."

The young man's tone immediately softened, and he introduced himself: "My name is Bai Ange, and I am a junior member of the Bai family. Come with me, and I will take you to see the family head and clan leader!"

"Thank you."

Chen Sanshi nodded slightly and then stepped into the valley.

Inside the valley, the Bai family's scene was somewhat different from what he had imagined. Unlike the Li family, which was strictly disciplined, the Bai family's place was more down-to-earth and lively.

Along the way, you can see many children playing, elderly people playing chess under the shade of trees, young women whispering secrets in each other's ears, and you can also vaguely see groups of men practicing martial arts in the spiritual veins in the distance. The people on patrol and their fellow clansmen carrying the corpses of spirit beasts are greeting each other.

According to the information obtained by Chen Sanshi, the Bai family has about two hundred martial arts practitioners, spanning four or five generations. The current generation in power is divided into five branches.

Bai Linxun, with whom he had some prior acquaintance, was the head of the second branch of the family and was known as Second Master Bai.

Bai Ange, who was in charge of leading the way, was the eldest son of the third master of the Bai family.

The two chatted along the way until they arrived at a lake halfway up the main peak. In front of them stood a towering pavilion named "Guanhu Pavilion".

"Please wait a moment, senior. The patriarch is entertaining guests today. Please allow me to inform him first."

Before half a cup of tea could be brewed, Bai Ange returned and gestured for him to come this way: "Senior, this way please."

Chen Sanshi then went up to the top floor.

This is a scenic teahouse. At this moment, two people are sitting in the main seats. One is Bai Erye, Bai Linxun, and the other has a short beard. Judging from his appearance, he is already in his fifties, and from the Qi Observation Technique, he has already reached the mid-stage of True Power.

In the guest seat sat a cultivator with a goatee and half-white hair and beard, whose cultivation level was around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hehe, I am Bai Liangbi!"

The middle-aged man in the main seat stood up and greeted him, "You are the current head of the Bai family. May I ask your esteemed name?"

"My name is Xiao Feng."

Chen Sanshi introduced himself by his name.

He had lived on Xiaozhu Peak for a long time, and his reputation as an alchemist was fairly reliable.

This is very important. No one wants to cooperate with someone they don't know well, especially someone without a fixed address, who is even more unreliable.

Nowadays, many families, including the Li family, are at odds with the Bai family and refuse to rent shops to them, but they are not so domineering as to forbid independent cultivators from contacting them.

Old man Mo Zhu often sold talismans to the Bai family.

"Then I shall take my leave."

As they exchanged pleasantries, the Taoist priest with the goatee stood up to take his leave, giving Chen Sanshi a meaningful glance before he left.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, please have a seat."

Bai Liangbi, the head of the Bai family, ordered someone to pour tea and got down to business, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, are you willing to become an alchemist offered by my Bai family?"

"Most of the pills that our Bai family needs are martial arts pills. If we can cooperate smoothly, we will provide the fire vein, the pill furnace, and the materials. Fellow Daoist, you only need to be responsible for refining them."

"Before we can officially cooperate, you need to test the pills so that we can see their quality. I hope you don't mind."

"This is natural."

Chen Sanshi readily agreed.

"Second brother."

Bai Liangbi shouted, "Take Fellow Daoist Xiao to the Fire Vein to test the pills."

"it is good."

Bai Linxun stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, please follow me."

After leaving Guanhulou, the two headed north.

Chen Sanshi also took this opportunity to see the core area of ​​Twilight Valley.

The entire Twilight Valley is not large, but it is small yet complete, with not only a medicinal herb garden, but also a weapon forging workshop, an alchemy room, and a spirit beast breeding area.

Bai Linxun emphasized that the medicine garden is a forbidden area of ​​the Bai family, and anyone who trespasses without the permission of the family head or patriarch will be considered a thief.

It is widely known that the Bai family has an excellent medicinal herb garden, which is said to be able to grow second-tier spiritual plants, and is considered the core property of the Bai family.

Unfortunately, the clan had plenty of medicinal herbs, but no alchemists of their own.

Refining elixirs requires the use of magical power.

Of the more than two hundred people in the entire Twilight Valley, only a handful possessed spiritual roots. However, they either lacked cultivation aptitude and were unable to refine second-tier pills due to insufficient spiritual sense, or they were simply utterly incompetent in alchemy.

Out of necessity, we have been cooperating with outsiders.

Besides him, there is another second-tier alchemist, the one from Guanhu Tower, named Changsun Miao, who has been living in Twilight Valley for two years.

The so-called fire vein is the fire of the earth vein. The Bai family has a first-class top-grade spiritual vein, plus a second-class fire vein branch, which is why they have been able to pass down their lineage for hundreds of years.

The alchemy workshop was small, consisting of only seven or eight stone-built houses, half of which were still empty.

Led by the other party, Chen Sanshi entered a stone house, where a young girl of about ten years old was already prepared.

"Brother Xiao, please allow me to explain the rules."

Bai Linxun explained, "Next, my niece will assist Brother Xiao in refining the pills. She will throw the pills into the furnace and tell you the temperature of each step. However, you will need to be blindfolded and not be able to look at the materials during the process."

This arrangement was made to keep the elixir formula a secret.

As an alchemist, Chen Sanshi was well aware of the preciousness of the pill formula, not to mention that it was a second-tier martial arts pill that was not available elsewhere.

It's understandable that the Bai family is being cautious.

However, if he did it this way, he and the "Taoist boy" would inevitably be unfamiliar with each other at first, which would lead to failure in alchemy and waste a lot of materials.

Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

But since the other party didn't care, he had nothing to say.

and……

This formula is probably impossible to hide from Chen Sanshi.

"It's time to start."

Chen Sanshi agreed to the request.

The pill that the Bai family ordered him to refine was a second-tier pill called "Qi Nourishing Pill," which was used to quickly restore true energy during battle and increase physical strength.

Unsurprisingly.

Chen Sanshi and the young Taoist priest worked together, making six mistakes in a row. It wasn't until the seventh attempt that they finally succeeded in refining the silk, and only then was he allowed to remove the ice silkworm silk that was obscuring his vision.

Above the alchemy furnace, a vermilion pill floated.

Bai Linxun, who had been standing guard nearby, took the pill in his hand, examined it carefully, and then sniffed it: "Excellent quality."
