Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Bai Xuanjing traversed the perilous endless seas, becoming a disciple of the Bai family specializing in alchemy, refining pills in a remote location within the fire vein. Surrounded by demonic beasts, omnipresent evil cultivators, and tiny insects that had somehow hatched within the fire vein… in this treacherous world of cultivation, far removed from his family, Bai Xuanjing was like a small boat on a vast ocean. Fortunately, Bai Xuanjing discovered that each successful pill refinement earned him extra rewards through a performance evaluation. [Refining a low-grade first-tier Azure Scale Pill, overall score…, reward: three Water Arrow Talismans] [Refining a mid-grade first-tier Azure Water Pill, overall score…, reward: three Golden Shield Talismans] [Refining a high-grade first-tier Profound Spirit Pill, overall score…, reward: one Crimson Fire Sword]… From then on, Bai Xuanjing settled into the life of an alchemist, remaining within his family's fire vein, observing the rise and fall of the cultivation world. As time passed, unknowingly, Bai Xuanjing had become a giant in the cultivation world.
