Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Bai Xuanjing arrived at the alchemy furnace, and a familiar feeling welled up in her heart.

He had refined this magical artifact over many years and could use it as if it were an extension of his own body.

Beside the alchemy furnace, there were several small bottles and unprocessed medicinal herbs.

The original alchemy unit had not yet completed its task, and today was the day it was supposed to start refining the pills.

……

Half a day later.

Bai Xuanjing sat cross-legged, recalling the alchemy skills of his predecessor.

He has completely accepted the fact that he traveled through time.

They come, the security.

Now, what he is thinking about is to complete the alchemy task that his predecessor did not finish.

Every year, the Bai family distributes alchemy materials and alchemy quotas to their alchemy disciples in various locations, and collects the corresponding amount of pills the following year.

If the targets are not met, the consequences range from a pay cut to being stripped of one's alchemist status.

The Bai family is actually an affiliated family under the Liuyun Sect. The sea area where they are now located was the territory of the demon race decades ago.

As pioneers of the Liuyun Sect, the Bai family frequently faced attacks from demon cultivators, evil cultivators, and hostile forces.

If Bai Xuanjing loses his identity as an alchemist and is forcibly conscripted into the battlefield by his family, the situation will be even more unfavorable for him.

After sitting for about two or three hours, Bai Xuanjing first raised his hand and cast a spell to summon some things in front of him.

There were four brocade boxes and one medicine bottle.

This year, Bai Xuanjing's task was to refine a first-grade, low-level Azure Scale Pill, which was used to assist in Qi refining.

Its core ingredient is the essence of the flesh and blood of the first-tier demon beast, the Azure Scale Serpent, followed by four ordinary first-tier low-grade spiritual herbs.

The Azure Scale Pill is not difficult to refine; it was the first pill Bai Xuanjing learned to make at the family's pill hall.

This year, the family sent nearly two hundred sets of medicinal materials, and the quota for the medicinal materials was more than four hundred Azure Scale Pills.

If a batch of Azure Scale Pills is successfully refined, it can yield three to five pills.

As long as the success rate of pill formation is around 60%, the family mission can be completed easily.

That is indeed the case.

There are still half a month left before the Azure Scale Pills are collected, and the predecessor only has one batch of pills left, and the target of three Azure Scale Pills has not been met.

In fact, Bai Xuanjing still has more than ten sets of raw materials for Qinglin Dan.

According to regulations, once the family quota is met, the remaining materials belong to Bai Xuanjing.

From this perspective, being a family alchemist, besides the annual salary, can yield a considerable success rate if one's alchemy skills are high enough.

The money saved from the materials sent down by the family alone is a considerable income.

After a moment's thought, Bai Xuanjing activated a magic spell, sending out a beam of spiritual light that shot into the area below the alchemy furnace.

The magic circle below immediately lit up, and then a tongue of fire shot out from the groove in the center of the circle, starting to heat up the furnace.

While injecting spiritual energy to manipulate the earth fire, Bai Xuanjing opened the lid on top of the alchemy furnace.

The essence of the Green Scaled Serpent's flesh and blood is stored in a small bottle; it is a jelly-like substance.

Upon opening the bottle, instead of the fishy stench of snakes, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

Bai Xuanjing was not intoxicated. He quickly used his spiritual energy to manipulate the small medicine bottle and poured the essence of flesh and blood into the alchemy furnace.

The first step in alchemy is to extract the essence from spiritual materials, then blend them together, and under the scorching heat of the earth's fire veins, accelerate the fusion of medicinal properties and condense them into a pill.

About an hour later.

A low, soft hum came from the alchemy furnace in front of Bai Xuanjing, but no medicinal fragrance wafted out.

But Bai Xuanjing showed no sign of defeat.

"The fragrance of the pills is subtle; this batch of pills is most likely successful!"

A thought flashed through her mind, but Bai Xuanjing did not let her guard down. Instead, she carefully manipulated her spiritual energy to finish the task.

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Xuanjing suddenly withdrew the spiritual energy from the array below the alchemy furnace.

The formation immediately dimmed and disappeared, and the earth fire it had summoned vanished.

Then Bai Xuanjing raised his hand and cast a spell, lifting the lid of the alchemy furnace.

Three emerald green pills lay inside the alchemy furnace.

"Three Azure Scale Pills, done!" Bai Xuanjing's face lit up with joy.

Although he was a transmigrator, he had no conflict with the memories and body of this body, and successfully inherited the alchemy skills of his predecessor.

However, the next moment, Bai Xuanjing's expression changed, revealing a thought-provoking look.

[Successfully refined a low-grade first-tier Azure Scale Pill. The quality of the finished pill is average. The earth fire used was low-grade first-tier, the pill furnace was low-grade first-tier, and the pill ingredients were Azure Scale Snake flesh and blood... Overall rating: 6 points]

[Your reward: Alchemy skill improved * Three months of arduous training]

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xuanjing felt a white ball of light appear in her mind.

With a thought, the ball of light transformed into specks of light, spreading out in Bai Xuanjing's mind.

And a new understanding also entered his mind.

"With this golden touch, my alchemy skills have improved!" Bai Xuanjing exclaimed with delight.

A message flashed through his mind, and he vaguely knew everything about the cheat code.

Once Bai Xuanjing successfully refines the pill, the pill refining process will be evaluated through the [Pill Refining Settlement].

The settlement rewards will be stored in Bai Xuanjing's mind in the form of light orbs, and he can receive the rewards as long as he has a thought.

The evaluation considers a variety of factors, such as the quality of the refined pills, the grade of the pills themselves, the grade of the alchemy furnace, the grade of the earth fire, and even the grade of the medicinal materials used for alchemy, all of which can affect the final score.

Based on the settlement score, different rewards can be obtained. The types of rewards are diverse. In addition to the alchemy skills mentioned earlier, various things such as cultivation level, magic weapons, talismans, and cultivation techniques can also be given through the settlement.

"So, if I successfully refine the pill, besides the pill itself, I can also receive additional benefits through settlement?"

Bai Xuanjing gazed at the three Azure Scale Pills in the alchemy furnace, as if he saw countless spiritual creatures beckoning to him.

"The pills belong to the family, but the settlement rewards are mine!" Bai Xuanjing couldn't help but think.

He touched the storage bag at his waist and took out another set of medicinal materials.

Refining pills is quite taxing on mental and spiritual energy. Even at his most diligent, the previous owner could only refine two batches of pills a day.

After all, alchemy was a family task, and once it was completed, the original owner of the body could not derive any joy from it.

However, the situation has now completely changed.

Bai Xuanjing sat cross-legged and began to replenish her spiritual energy and restore her condition.

Then they started refining pills again.

More than an hour later.

[Successfully refined a low-grade first-tier Azure Scale Pill. The quality of the finished pill is average. The earth fire used was low-grade first-tier, the pill furnace was low-grade first-tier, and the pill ingredients were Azure Scale Snake flesh and blood... Overall rating: 7 points]

[You have received the following reward: Cultivation level increase * Three months of arduous training]

"Besides alchemy skills, there's even feedback on cultivation level! This means that even if I keep refining pills, my cultivation won't fall behind!"

Bai Xuanjing happily accepted the settlement reward.

A ball of light also appeared in my mind.

With a thought, the ball of light turned into specks of light and dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xuanjing felt a strange sensation within her body.

The previously calm spiritual energy suddenly surged, rushing towards Bai Xuanjing's meridians and limbs.

Bai Xuanjing's cultivation of the "Mysterious Fire Scripture" unconsciously began to operate.

Half an hour later, everything returned to calm.

Bai Xuanjing sensed the changes within her body, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
