Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Although she didn't know the details, Bai Xuanjing could still tell that Bai Jingcheng was trying to be friendly.

This matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Clan Guard Hall, so it has nothing to do with Bai Xuangu.

The reason for notifying Bai Xuangu was simply because they were worried that Bai Xuanjing would suffer a loss.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xuanjing gratefully cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Before long, two streaks of light arrived one after the other.

"Jingcheng, why are you stationed on Xiaoye Island and sending me messages via paper cranes?"

The first streak of light was a flying demonic beast.

This demon resembles an eagle, with wingspans of four or five zhang (approximately 10-15 meters). Its feathers are dark blue-black like refined iron, and its eyes gleam with a sharp light. Its aura is clearly at the peak of the first rank.

On the back of the falcon stood a short old man.

The old man was not tall, but he looked very fiery, with a stubble beard and a fierce expression.

If this happened offshore, people would definitely mistake it for a heretical practice.

The old man cursed and jumped off the falcon, landing next to Bai Jingcheng.

Immediately, he sensed something and looked towards another streak of light flying out from within the Canghuang Islands.

"Is that Bai Xuangu from your clan's guard hall? I was there the day he was appointed commander, why is he here too?" the old man wondered.

"This is the head of the Punishment Hall, the fifth branch elder of the Bai family, and Bai Qingyu's uncle."

"Xuanjing, tell him the whole story!" Bai Jingcheng introduced.

Bai Qingyu glanced at Bai Xuanjing, then swayed back and forth between Lu Jinyan and his sister.

Finally, his gaze fell on the three people locked in the net, and a thought flickered in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing repeated the explanation.

As they were talking, Bai Xuangu, who arrived a step later, landed on Bai Jingcheng's spirit boat.

He respectfully greeted Bai Jingcheng and Bai Qingyu.

Although his cultivation level and status in the Bai family are already quite high, the Bai family values ​​bloodline inheritance.

As long as the difference in cultivation level and social status is not too great, juniors should still show some respect to their elders.

Then he looked at Bai Xuanjing and the others, exchanged a smile with them, and then stood there listening without saying a word.

However, upon noticing Bai Xuanjing's cultivation level, he paused for a moment, clearly somewhat surprised, but quickly recovered.

As Bai Xuanjing spoke, he looked at his elder brother and felt that Bai Xuangu's aura seemed even stronger than when he left home three years ago.

"Could it be that he has advanced?" Bai Xuanjing wondered to himself.

When he left home, Bai Xuangu's cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

If you advance to the next level, you'll reach the ninth level of Qi Refining!

However, his cultivation level was much lower than Bai Xuangu's, so he couldn't determine Bai Xuangu's exact cultivation level for the time being.

After Bai Xuanjing finished explaining the whole story, Bai Qingyu's expression changed. He snorted and raised his hand to cast a spell.

Instantly, a streak of white light flew from his palm and landed on the net.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jinyan quickly removed the net-shaped magical artifact.

Bai Xuanlin and the other two were then wrapped in Bai Qingyu's white silk and lifted to Bai Qingyu's feet.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Bai Xuan Gu beside him and asked in a blunt tone, "Xuan Gu, what are you doing here?"

Bai Xuangu smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "To be honest, Grandpa Qingyu, this Bai Xuanjing is my younger brother, and those two from the Lu family are also the children of my mother's elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyu snorted lightly, "What, you came here in person because you think I would show favoritism?"

Bai Xuangu quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare!"

He arrived after receiving a message from Bai Jingcheng via paper crane.

Before I arrived, I really didn't know that Bai Qingyu was already here.

Seeing this, Bai Jingcheng's expression changed slightly, as if he had realized something, and he thought to himself, "It seems I've done something wrong with good intentions?"

clap clap clap!

Bai Qingyu bent down and slapped Bai Xuanlin's face several times.

When he slapped her, his palm flashed with spiritual light and had an aura of invigoration, suggesting that he had used some kind of magic.

After a few slaps, Bai Xuanlin, who had been unconscious, woke up immediately.

Opening his eyes, Bai Xuanlin was still somewhat confused, seemingly unable to remember what had happened.

But then, a sharp pain came from my leg.

Seeing that he was surrounded by Bai family elders, he was terrified. His mouth moved as if he had forgotten how to speak.

"Damn it!" Bai Qingyu cursed as soon as he saw the light yellow liquid flowing from Bai Xuanlin's genitals.

Then he gave Bai Jingcheng a mischievous look, "I'm never riding in your spirit boat again!"

Then, his face hardened into a ferocious expression as he glared at Bai Xuanlin. "Boy, tell me the truth, didn't you collude with the rogue cultivators from the outer sea to murder your own kind?"

Bai Xuanlin comes from a lineage of alchemists and has little experience in combat.

Over the years, although I have met evil cultivators like Zhan Yue Dao Lu in the outer seas and heard about their ruthless methods, it was all just hearsay; I had never actually witnessed it.

He was now in such a predicament, and his partner, Zhan Yue, whom he relied on, was in an even more miserable situation than him.

Encountering Bai Qingyu, an elder with no kind appearance, she was immediately terrified.

"I...I...I was confused for a moment!" Bai Xuanlin immediately burst into tears, dragging his remaining leg as he crawled to Bai Qingyu's side, trying to hug Bai Qingyu's leg and beg.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Qingyu kicked him away, her face full of disgust.

Then, seemingly finding Bai Xuanlin's crying and shouting a bit noisy, he slapped Bai Xuanlin on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.

"To murder one's own clansman is a capital offense, but families follow certain rules and regulations in their dealings."

I'll take this man back to the clan's guard hall for interrogation. I'll give you an answer within three days at the latest, and I reckon I'll be able to show you his signature and head together then."

Bai Qingyu looked at Bai Xuangu and said calmly.

Bai Xuangu nodded, "Grandpa Qingyu is meticulous in his work, so I naturally have no objections!"

Bai Qingyu snorted lightly, and without any formalities, he led Bai Xuanlin and the other two onto the back of the eagle-like monster and flew back to the Canghuang Islands.

"I almost forgot... the fifth branch of the Beast Taming and your third branch..." Bai Jingcheng stepped forward, somewhat embarrassed.

The head of the Bai family and the Supreme Elder are superior to the other branches of the family and are the actual allocators of resources.

According to the rules, the head of the family and the supreme elder are both selected from the six branch elders.

Being chosen as a Supreme Elder or the head of the family signifies more than just power.

It also means that during the period of waiting to ascend the throne, the family will do its best to search for resources to cultivate them and make their cultivation worthy of their status.

At present, the Bai family's Pseudo-Core Realm Elder is getting old.

The selection of the next head of the family and the Supreme Elder should be within the next few decades.

Therefore, each room has some little tricks up its sleeve.

The strongest among them are the first and second branches, each with a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. The other four branches mostly side with these two.

The three alchemy departments and the five beast taming departments originally had no grudges or entanglements, but because they were on different sides, they had much less contact with each other.

Lower-level cultivators may not have a deep understanding, but the stewards of each room often have to consider which side they are on before doing anything.

Bai Xuangu waved his hand, "It's alright. Grandpa Qingyu has a reputation for being incorruptible. I believe he won't do anything that violates the clan rules because of these things."

"On the contrary, I should thank Uncle Jingcheng for letting me know. Come over for a drink sometime!"

Bai Jingcheng smiled and agreed.

Then he said, "I still have to guard Xiaoye Island, so you can take them into the Canghuang Islands!"
