Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Upon seeing the name of the elixir manual, Bai Xuanjing began to ponder.

The Bai family has a rich tradition of alchemy, especially in low-level alchemy.

Although she hadn't seen every single pill manual, Bai Xuanjing was still familiar with the general names and effects of the pills.

These are the basic knowledge reserves of the Bai family's alchemy pavilion.

Bai Xuanjing had never heard of this Feathered Elixir.

"The pills in this pill manual were entrusted to me by a friend who is a rogue cultivator."

"As you know, I have no knowledge of alchemy, let alone the fact that this Feather Pill is a mid-grade first-level pill."

Bai Xuanle smiled as she explained the origin of the elixir manual, then looked hopefully at Bai Xuanjing.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Xuanjing placed his palm on the pill manual.

As the magic power circulated, he began to look through the pages.

Similar to the Bai family's tradition, this Feather Pill also uses a demon beast material as the main ingredient, and then adds some spiritual herbs as auxiliary materials to neutralize the medicinal properties.

The demon beast material is the essence of the brain marrow of a demon bird called the Feathered Bird, while the auxiliary materials are first-grade low-quality spiritual herbs such as Huanling Grass and Baixuan Fruit.

Bai Xuanjing had never heard of such a demonic beast as the Feathered Bird, so it must not be a common demonic beast.

However, he had some understanding of these types of medicinal materials.

"What is this pill used for?"

Bai Xuanjing looked at Bai Xuanle and asked.

The specific effects of the Feathered Elixir were not mentioned in the elixir manual.

However, by deducing from the raw materials, Bai Xuanjing could roughly determine that this elixir was most likely used to assist in cultivation, and also had some effect on nourishing the soul.

As expected, Bai Xuanle's answer was almost exactly what he had guessed: "It is a special technique used to assist in cultivation."

Bai Xuanjing pressed further, "Is it a technique related to the soul?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanle was somewhat surprised, her face full of astonishment.

Then he burst out laughing: "Brother Xuanjing, how did you know? Did you deduce it from the raw materials?"

"I never expected that in just a few years, you would have such a thorough understanding of the properties of medicinal herbs. No wonder your alchemy skills have improved so quickly."

He then frankly said, "This item was entrusted to me by a friend. I can't say the specific technique, but what you said is pretty much correct. This is a type of auxiliary pill related to eye techniques."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing understood.

Pupil techniques are a relatively rare type of magic in the world of cultivation.

However, the Bai family cultivators had some contact with them.

For example, Bai Qingshan has mastered a pupil technique that allows him to observe demonic energy.

Most of the five beast-taming cultivators also practice that technique.

These kinds of techniques are said to involve the use of one's spirit and soul, and using them will consume one's vital energy and spirit.

However, most common eye techniques do not deliberately use elixirs to aid in cultivation.

Judging from this, Bai Xuanle's "friend" probably possesses a rather extraordinary pupil technique.

At the very least, the rank won't be too low.

After a careful examination, the pill manual appeared perfectly normal. Although the pills it contained were somewhat unusual, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about them.

After a moment's thought, Bai Xuanjing asked curiously, "Brother Xuanle, why don't you seek out those highly respected first-tier mid-grade alchemists in the family?"

Although I can now barely achieve a 30% success rate in producing Azure Water Pills, I am still a newcomer.

"Rushing to refine a new first-grade mid-level pill will definitely result in a lot of losses."

Bai Xuanle gave a wry smile: "Where would I know a highly respected mid-grade first-level alchemist? If I look for someone else, I'm afraid I'll still have to ask my second grandfather for help."

"You know, I don't really want to trouble him. He has a large family, and it's not right for him to always be helping me."

"On the contrary, we were classmates in the Alchemy Hall. Although our relationship was just so-so, after getting to know you over this period of time, I think you are a reliable person."

"That's why I was thinking of showing you this prescription to see if it could help..."

Bai Xuanjing nodded, accepting this explanation.

He then looked at Bai Xuanle, took a sip of tea, and asked, "May I ask who this friend of yours is, Brother Xuanle?"

Bai Xuanle smiled, somewhat embarrassed, but still said, "She is a female rogue cultivator from the outer sea who makes a living by hunting demons."

Her eye technique is actually related to demon hunting; it's a family heirloom.

Seeing the change in Bai Xuanle's expression, Bai Xuanjing felt a sense of amusement.

This was the first time he had seen Bai Xuanle with such an expression, and he couldn't help but tease him, "Could it be that Brother Xuanle's confidante?"

Bai Xuanle nodded somewhat shyly.

Then he said, "Brother Xuanjing, if you agree to help me refine pills, I will provide the pills. After the pills are refined, I will give you twenty low-grade spirit stones for each batch of finished pills."

This price is fair.

After all, Bai Xuanjing only needs to put in the effort to refine the pills and doesn't need to worry about the cost of the pills. As long as the pills are successfully refined, he can earn spirit stones.

If the refining fails, he won't have to worry about the materials.

Moreover, the elixir manual was provided by Bai Xuanle.

Besides alchemy, Bai Xuanjing also essentially got a free pill-making technique.

Although the Feather Pill is an auxiliary item for special techniques, it may not be of much use to ordinary cultivators.

But it can still be said that you can make a profit without losing money!

However, Bai Xuanjing did not immediately agree, and then asked somewhat hesitantly, "Brother Xuanjing, how many medicinal herbs do you have?"

Alchemy requires initial investment. Even with Bai Xuanjing's improved alchemy skills, if the raw materials are too few, she may not be able to refine a single batch.

Bai Xuanle quickly replied, "The Feathered Bird is hard to find, and the medicinal ingredients it contains don't seem to be from our Bai family's pill formulas. They don't have medicinal herbs that are widely cultivated, so the cost is high, and they are also hard to find."

"I have only gathered the ingredients for twenty pills so far."

"Brother Xuanjing, there's no need to feel pressured. As long as you can produce three or four batches of pills, that will be enough."

Upon hearing this number, Bai Xuanjing was somewhat surprised, "So many!"

He had never even heard of the Feathered Bird before, so it must not be an easy monster to find.

The other medicinal ingredients are indeed rare.

According to Bai Xuanjing's estimate, although the Feather Pill is only a mid-grade first-level pill, its cost may be more than thirty spirit stones.

It costs much more than Bishui Dan!

Twenty portions of elixir ingredients...

Bai Xuanle also really went all out.

It's unclear how much of the medicinal ingredients he obtained was through his own efforts, and how much was obtained through the efforts of his confidante.

Although I had some doubts in my heart.

However, Bai Xuanjing did not show any unusual expression on his face.

With so many medicinal materials, he could greatly assist in honing his alchemy skills, and he had no reason to refuse.

So he said, "Twenty portions of medicinal ingredients should be enough to make some pills."

"However, before I start refining pills, I must first familiarize myself with the contents of the pill manual. I cannot start refining pills immediately."

"Now that the clan meeting is over, I'm afraid I'll be sent to the outer seas to refine pills and won't be able to stay in the clan any longer."
