Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Bai Xuanle immediately laughed and said, "That's fine!"

"The refining of the Feather Pill is not urgent. You can wait until next year when Uncle Jingming comes to collect the pills from you and have him bring them to me."

"Or, if I have the opportunity to carry out a mission near Jing'anfang, I can send you a message via a paper crane from Jing'anfang."

As she spoke, Bai Xuanle took out a communication paper crane from her storage bag.

The restrictive runes on this communication paper crane are more intricate, indicating that it is of a higher grade.

It is not an ordinary thing.

Bai Xuanle said, "This communication paper crane was a gift from Grandpa Qingshan. It can transmit messages over a much greater range, so it should be sufficient for my needs."

"To receive the contents of this telepathic message, the following incantation is required..."

After leaving his mark on the paper crane, Bai Xuanle moved his lips and imparted a magic incantation to Bai Xuanjing.

Bai Xuanjing memorized the formula and nodded.

The incantation required to receive the message from a higher-level paper crane is different from that of a basic paper crane.

The primary purpose was to maintain secrecy.

Bai Xuanjing was very familiar with this.

After making an agreement with each other, Bai Xuanle solemnly handed over the medicinal materials needed for refining the Feather Pill to Bai Xuanjing.

After a brief conversation, the two parted ways and said goodbye.

After the clan assembly ceremony concludes, the Bai family cultivators will leave home one after another to perform their respective duties.

Even if they won't be leaving home for a while, they will still make some preparations for the upcoming mission.

There are far fewer cultivators with free time now.

The entire Bai family was in a flurry of activity.

……

Back at his own villa, Bai Xuanjing played with his nephew and niece for a while.

After some time, the Baek Hyun-gyu couple also returned from outside.

"Now that the clan meeting is over, when will you be departing for your posting, Xuanjing?"

Bai Xuangu looked at Bai Xuanjing and asked.

"It'll only be a day or two, and I have nothing else to do at the family."

Bai Xuanjing thought for a moment and then answered.

Then, a thought flickered in his mind, and he looked at Bai Xuangu: "Brother, is something the matter?"

Bai Xuangu nodded and exchanged a glance with Wu Yuxiu, then nodded and said, "Your sister-in-law and I have received orders from the family to lead the disciples of the Clan Guard Hall to a sea area to join forces with several other families for training."

"We must depart within three days."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing understood.

Training is about honing the coordination and execution capabilities of cultivators.

Family battles differ from those fought by independent cultivators, placing greater emphasis on these characteristics.

Even the slightest miscoordination or oversight in mission execution could lead to unpredictable casualties.

This is especially true for battles involving multiple families and over a thousand cultivators.

If the coordination is not good, it may even lead to the blunder of one's own teammates weakening or harming their own teammates' spells.

Even the death of one more cultivator is a loss for the family.

Furthermore, if the Bai family's military action against Jinlan Island was ordered by the Liuyun Sect and not for the Bai family's own benefit...

They will likely receive assistance from the Dao Diagram Formation of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Such wondrous formations rely heavily on the cooperation of cultivators and require prior rehearsal.

Just as Bai Xuanjing was pondering, a cultivator walked in through the open courtyard gate.

"Second Uncle!"

Bai Xuanjing and the other two quickly got up.

The person who arrived was Bai Jingming.

Bai Jingming smiled and waved his hand, then took out a piece of gold paper and said, "I have come here today for Xuanjing."

"Your alchemy goal for this year remains the Yellow Jade Pill. You need 230 portions of pill-making materials, with a success rate of 55%."

"I imagine this shouldn't be a difficult task for you anymore!"

Compared to last year, the quantity and types of materials used for alchemy have remained unchanged, but the success rate of alchemy has increased by half a percent.

This was something Bai Xuanjing had expected.

The success rate of alchemists sent out by the family has always increased over the years.

Even with a 55% success rate in pill formation, Bai Xuanjing still makes a significant profit.

Bai Jingming then added, "Although you haven't advanced in rank yet, you can already refine first-grade mid-level pills like the Azure Water Pill, so you must not slack off."

"Right now, the family needs to wage war, so the various spiritual herbs and resources for alchemy are being supplied to the family in a limited manner, and only then to individuals."

"However, I still managed to obtain twenty portions of materials for the Azure Water Pill and ten portions of materials for the Clear Spring Pill."

As he spoke, Bai Jingming took out the alchemy materials and handed them to Bai Xuanjing.

During their discussion last night, Bai Xuanjing told Bai Jingming about some of her experiences with Bai Qingbai.

Therefore, this second uncle knew that Bai Xuanjing was currently practicing these two kinds of first-grade mid-level pills.

Upon seeing the medicinal ingredients in Bai Jingming's hand, Bai Xuanjing was immediately moved.

These medicinal materials are worth over four hundred contribution points!

"This... Second Uncle, I'll transfer the contribution points to you!"

Bai Xuanjing did not refuse Bai Jingming's offer, but insisted on purchasing according to the equal contribution value.

Bai Jingming naturally had no intention of accepting contribution points.

But Baek Hyun-kyung persisted.

Since returning home, Bai Xuanjing has received many benefits from Bai Jingming.

Stopping the Falling Tortoise, Beast Taming Techniques...

He was really too embarrassed to accept Bai Jingming's kindness without having done anything about it.

In the end, Bai Jingming said somewhat helplessly, "How about this, consider these medicinal materials as you helping me refine pills. When the pills are refined, you can give them to me or give me contribution points."

In Bai Jingming's opinion, Bai Xuanjing's success rate in producing the Azure Water Pill is only about 30%.

The cost of these thirty sets of medicinal materials is most likely unrecoverable.

However, he didn't care.

He intended to give it away as a gift and didn't expect to recoup his costs.

But Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred slightly.

Including the medicinal materials given by Bai Jingming, he now has eighty portions of Bishui Dan raw materials and forty portions of Qingquan Dan raw materials.

During the alchemy process, his alchemy skills improved continuously, and the final success rate of alchemy was definitely higher than 30%.

At that time, the cost of raw materials will be fully covered.

With this in mind, Bai Xuanjing accepted Bai Jingming's arrangement.

"In a few days, Yu-xiu and I will also be going to train with the troops. After that, we will probably be away from home for a long time. Xuan-jing will also be sent out to work."

The next time we can all get together might be three years from now, so today is a good opportunity for us to have another meal together!

Bai Xuangu smiled and invited Bai Jingming to dinner that evening.

Wu Yuxiu also smiled and said, "We still have quite a few ingredients prepared at home."

The spiritual rice, spiritual beast meat, and various spiritual vegetables consumed by cultivators are all of considerable value.

The price of a meal is not low.

However, Bai Jingming was not one to stand on ceremony and immediately agreed.

"I'll come to your house tonight, but I have to go out now to distribute some tasks!"

Bai Jingming said with a smile.

……

Early the next morning,

A small spirit boat drifted out of Daoping Island and headed towards the outer reaches of the Canghuang Islands.

At the front of the spirit boat, Bai Xuanjing and Bai Xuangu sat cross-legged.

Bai Xuan Gu chattered on and on, explaining matters concerning his travels.

Bai Xuanjing responded occasionally, but his mind was elsewhere.

He had originally planned to leave home a few days later.

However, at the dinner table last night, Bai Jingming mentioned the departure date of the ship from Xuan Gui Island to Jing'an Fang City.

This is all thanks to Bai Jingming's years of experience in the open sea, which gave him a thorough understanding of the schedules of the ships on various islands.

After returning home, Bai Xuanjing did some calculations in private.

According to the speed of the tortoise, if he were to head to Xuan Turtle Island now, he would arrive just in time for the day the Han family's ship would set sail.
