Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

He then said, "The large-scale production of Yellow Jade Pills is probably related to the war, but I cannot tell you the specific details."

But now that the family is about to raise an army, you who are usually supported by the family must not try to shirk your duties at this critical juncture!

As he spoke, Bai Jingming's tone became somewhat serious.

In ordinary times, he can communicate with Bai Xuanjing as a family member.

But he wouldn't be ambiguous about family matters.

Although the Bai family has various internal conflicts and problems, the reason why the Bai family has been able to stand firm since the founding of the clan is because of its clear system of rewards and punishments and the family cohesion derived from it.

This cohesion is not enough to resist the selfishness of some people, but it can make the family united in hatred against external enemies.

You can waver on small matters, but you can't be confused on big ones!

Bai Xuanjing nodded solemnly, a feeling of sharing honor and disgrace arose in his heart.

Currently, it seems that families like the Bai family can still provide their disciples with a strong sense of belonging.

Moreover, once he left the Bai family, he would truly become a lone boat adrift at sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Two hundred and thirty sets of medicinal materials are required, along with three hundred and fifty Yellow Jade Pills.

Even though the average number of pills produced per batch of Yellow Jade Pills is lower than that of Green Scale Pills, a success rate of just over 50% is sufficient!

This task isn't too demanding; it's quite reasonable.

After explaining the matter of the elixir, Bai Jingming prepared to take his leave.

Before parting, Bai Xuanjing said, "Please trouble Second Uncle to pass on a message to my brother, telling him to be careful in everything he does."

Bai Jingming smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. This military campaign is crucial for the development of the family, but it's not that dangerous."

"Besides, war preparations will take a long time, and it's estimated that we won't be able to mobilize troops until after the clan meeting. You should tell Hyun-gyu this yourself after you return home from the clan meeting."

Bai Xuanjing nodded.

……

After seeing Bai Jingming off, Bai Xuanjing returned to the alchemy room and began to organize the newly acquired spiritual herbs and white jade spirit rice.

His storage bag only had three-square-meter space. After storing some of his own odds and ends, it was a bit of a stretch to fit all these spiritual herbs in.

After sorting the spiritual materials, Bai Xuanjing finally managed to put them into her storage bag.

As for the white jade spirit rice and other such things, he simply placed them in a corner of the alchemy room.

The spiritual energy here is thin, and there are few demonic beasts within a hundred miles. Few cultivators usually come here.

Moreover, even if someone comes here, unless they are a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a strong divine sense, they will not be able to discover Bai Xuanjing's whereabouts.

There's no need to worry about losing anything.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xuanjing remembered Bai Jingming's storage bag.

As the third branch steward, Bai Jingming often had to go out to distribute a large amount of supplies and collect various finished products to bring back to the family, so his storage bag was also very spacious.

As for how big it is, Bai Xuanjing really doesn't know.

But there should be at least 100 square meters of space!

Such a large storage bag is worth a lot of spirit stones.

"When I have time to go to the market, I'll have to get a bigger storage bag!" Bai Xuanjing thought to herself.

He currently has a considerable amount of spirit stones, enough to buy an eight- or ten-square storage bag.

However, storage bags were not a necessity, and the original owner was reluctant to waste spirit stones.

But now that Bai Xuanjing has the ability to calculate the cost of alchemy, she doesn't have to worry about resources at all, so convenience is the priority.

Bai Xuanjing looked at the black leather ox thigh that Bai Jingming had sent, and immediately felt a strong urge to eat it.

Without hesitation, he took out a light, ordinary dagger from his storage bag and began to cut up the cow's leg.

Then I washed a handful of spirit rice and put it in the pot, and then selected some low-class spirit plant vegetables that were suitable to be paired with beef shank.

Before long, a plate of stir-fried beef (a version of the cultivation world dish) and a bowl of fragrant spiritual rice were ready.

Baek Hyun-kyung sat down at the table and began to eat.

After the meal, Bai Xuanjing sat cross-legged and began his cultivation.

He possesses the three spiritual roots of water, fire, and wood, and his main cultivation technique is the "Mysterious Fire Scripture," primarily designed to adapt to the fire-attribute techniques needed for alchemy.

However, it is not about refining fire-attribute spiritual energy, so the practice of spells is not limited to fire-attribute.

Although he was an alchemist, Bai Xuanjing also learned two offensive techniques.

One of its names is Water Serpent Technique, which is suitable for attack.

The second one is called the Green Vine Technique, which is an auxiliary technique for trapping and blocking enemies.

Thanks to the guidance of his elder brother Bai Xuangu, Bai Xuanjing's magical skills were not bad.

Originally, the previous owner thought that hiding in the fire veins of Autumn Maple Island would not give him much of a chance to fight, so he neglected his magical cultivation after arriving at Autumn Maple Island.

But after the incident with the fireflies, Bai Xuanjing understood perfectly well that personal strength was crucial to going further on the path of cultivation.

Although the chances of encountering a major crisis are not high if one stays in the Earth Fire Vein to refine pills.

However, if one's strength is insufficient, even a small crisis can be enough to cost one's life.

The death of the predecessor is undoubtedly a warning from the past.

……

Alchemy Room

Bai Xuanjing looked at the three yellow jade pills lying in the alchemy furnace in front of her, and her face showed joy.

"Two furnaces were needed to make one furnace. The foundation of the original body in Huang Yudan was indeed somewhat weak." He then muttered to himself.

Today he attempted to refine the Yellow Jade Pill; this was his second batch.

As for the first batch, it has already become elixir residue.

"Fortunately, I am a family alchemist, and all the spiritual herbs and materials are provided by the family. If I had to rely on myself, I don't know how many spirit stones it would have cost for these two hundred-plus batches of pill materials!" Bai Xuanjing said with emotion.

Having a family to rely on is indeed a good thing.

[Refining a first-grade low-level Yellow Jade Pill: ...Overall rating: 7 points.]

[You have received the following reward: 1 fragment of the Tier 1 Mid-Grade Magic Weapon, Golden Tortoise Armor]

Upon sensing the settlement reward in his mind, Bai Xuanjing's expression changed.

"A magical artifact as a reward!"

Compared to talismans and elixirs, magical artifacts are undoubtedly more valuable.

A mid-grade first-tier magic weapon costs over four hundred spirit stones, which is equivalent to several years' salary for Bai Xuanjing.

Defensive artifacts are even more valuable.

Even if we calculate it based on one-fifth of the price, this reward is still higher than the previous rewards.

But the ratings didn't increase much.

Bai Xuanjing pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that perhaps the standards by which the settlement system evaluates the quality of spiritual items are different from those used by cultivators in this world.

From the perspective of the settlement system, one-fifth of a mid-grade first-tier magic artifact fragment is equivalent to the value of several low-grade first-tier talismans or several low-grade first-tier spiritual herbs.

Unfortunately, all I got was a fragment of a magical artifact.

Sensing the golden tortoise-shell-shaped ball of light in his sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred slightly.

"Five armor fragments are needed to exchange for a complete Golden Tortoise Armor... I wonder if the settlement reward is the same as that of a certain Duoduo in my previous life, where you're just one step away from getting the final hit."

At this moment, Bai Xuanjing's mood was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

What delighted them was naturally the magical artifact reward they received on their first try.

The concern is that the probability of obtaining artifact fragments as a reward is too low.

Furthermore, the settlement rewards are too broad. If you get one type of magic weapon fragment today, you get another type tomorrow and the next time.

It's useless if you can't gather enough fragments of a magical artifact.
