Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

The person who came was Bai Xuanjin.

This man was around thirty years old, with delicate features, dressed in a white disciple's robe, and exuded an elegant and scholarly air.

"Xuanjing, how have you been?"

Bai Xuanjin saw Bai Xuanjing first.

To Bai Xuanjing's surprise, Bai Xuanjin also remembered him.

The two were from different years in the alchemy hall and had never interacted much.

Bai Xuanjing remembered Bai Xuanjin's appearance because Bai Xuanjin had been one of the main hosts at the last one or two alchemy conferences.

"Brother Xuanjin! Stay safe!"

One doesn't hit a smiling face, especially since Bai Xuanjin was a fairly good person in Bai Xuanjing's memory.

Bai Xuanjing immediately bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"You're here to refine pills?" Bai Xuanjin asked.

Bai Xuanjing nodded, "I'll help a cousin from the fifth branch of the family refine some demon-feeding pills."

"Oh, I'm here to refine the Azure Water Pill."

I've heard that your Yellow Jade Pill is quite good. Why not focus more on the Azure Water Pill? Then we can compete together for the No. 8 Fire Vein.

Despite being competitors, Baek Hyun-geum was very frank.

Bai Xuanjing felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

My second uncle really can't keep secrets; he's made it seem like everyone knows about my success rate in achieving immortality.

However, Baek Hyun-kyung was not surprised.

Bai Xuanjin also has an elder who holds a high position in the second branch of the family. Perhaps Bai Jingming mentioned this while he was drinking and bragging with Bai Xuanjin.

Anyway, it's not exactly a secret.

The two chatted casually, their steps light and quick.

Soon they arrived at a passageway on the shady side of the mountainside.

This passageway is the entrance to the underground fire chamber.

The walls of the passageway were inlaid with special spiritual minerals and milky white pearls, the light was soft, and the atmosphere was quite comfortable.

As soon as Bai Xuanjing entered the passageway, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if someone was watching her.

Bai Xuanjing knew that the elder who was guarding the Earth Fire Chamber was using an array to probe the two of them, so he remained calm.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly.

Baek Hyun-jin's expression remained unchanged; he continued to chat and laugh as usual.

Soon, the two arrived at the fork in the passageway.

The fork in the road split into three passages: a first-grade low-level, a mid-level, and a high-level earth fire chamber.

The two were going to part ways here because the pills they wanted to refine were of different grades.

"We're holding a small meeting on elixirs at Qifeng Pavilion in two days. I don't know if we've informed you yet."

"Let's get together sometime and chat about the art of alchemy," Bai Xuanjin said with a smile before parting.

Bai Xuanjing nodded, "I'll definitely go!"

……

At the end of the passageway were rows of underground fire chambers.

These fire chambers were all constructed using a fire-resistant spiritual mineral.

The door to the Earth Fire Chamber was jet black, and as the spiritual energy fluctuated, it subtly revealed a sense of weight and solemnity.

There is a stone bead at the entrance of each fire chamber.

These stone beads come in two colors: white and red.

White indicates that the Earth Fire Chamber is unused and vacant, while red indicates that a Bai family cultivator is refining pills inside.

Bai Xuanjing found an empty fire chamber and came to it.

He raised the Earth Fire Token given to him by Bai Xuanle and infused it with spiritual power.

The surface of the Earth Fire Order flickered and changed.

Immediately afterwards, a cluster of fire suddenly emerged from the Earth Fire Token, and like a moth, landed on the stone bead in front of the Earth Fire Chamber.

Then the stone bead suddenly turned crimson.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the dark stone door slowly opened, revealing the interior space of the Earth Fire Chamber.

At the center of the Earth Fire Chamber is a fire-igniting array, similar to that of Autumn Maple Island, though the array patterns differ slightly in the details.

Besides that, there was only a futon.

The decor is very simple and plain.

Bai Xuanjing entered the Earth Fire Chamber, then activated the Earth Fire Token to close the stone door.

Sitting cross-legged, Bai Xuanjing waved his hand to take out the alchemy furnace, and then took out the pill manual for the Demon-Feeding Pill to examine it.

Half an hour later, Bai Xuanjing felt the time was right, so he raised his hand and cast a spell, which landed in the center of the array.

Flames immediately appeared, and the furnace began to heat up.

Bai Xuanjing had already set aside the materials for the Demon-Feeding Pill.

Let's begin alchemy!

Although he only had three years of experience refining pills outside the region.

However, the settlement rewards provided years of improved alchemy skills.

When Bai Xuanjing was refining elixirs, his every move exuded a sense of experience and maturity.

With a flick of his fingertips, the essence of demonic beast flesh and blood, spiritual herbs... were all thrown into the alchemy furnace and then refined.

The steps were carried out in an orderly manner.

About an hour and a half later.

Bai Xuanjing's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand to shoot out a spiritual incantation, which landed on the lid of the alchemy furnace.

"The elixir is complete!"

Bai Xuanjing was overjoyed, and then she sensed the white light cluster in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Recalling the feeling of being probed by the array when entering the passage, Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred, and she suppressed the urge to immediately check the settlement rewards.

Although the underground fire chamber is sealed off by a barrier.

Furthermore, according to the family rules, elders are not allowed to investigate the interior of the Earth Fire Chamber while their disciples are refining pills.

But I'm afraid of what might happen.

Bai Xuanjing sat cross-legged, put the three demon-feeding pills from the alchemy furnace into a pill bottle, and then began to refine his qi and repair his essence, qi and spirit.

……

Before you know it, a day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Xuanjing didn't waste any time and worked as fast as he could, opening four batches of pills in one day.

Since breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, Bai Xuanjing's spiritual energy has become more abundant, and her mastery of the techniques has become even more effortless.

This reduces the time spent on alchemy and also saves time on replenishing spiritual energy after alchemy.

Even so, by the time the four batches of pills were finished, it was already night.

Bai Xuanjing got up, put away the alchemy furnace, sealed the earth fire formation, and used the earth fire token to leave the earth fire chamber.

Outside the underground fire chamber, the stone beads suddenly turned milky white.

The time recorded on the Earth Fire Token was also reduced by several hours.

"My Bai family has quite a few diligent alchemists," Bai Xuanjing thought to himself, glancing around.

Several stone beads in front of the underground fire chambers were glowing red, indicating that someone was refining elixirs inside.

Bai Xuanjing's cultivation level was too low to go without rest for long periods of time, so he had no intention of staying up all night to refine pills.

After he finished packing, he left the Fire Chamber and headed towards his residence.

With the moon and stars sparse, there were far fewer cultivators and mortals coming and going on Daoping Island at night.

Back at the mansion, Bai Xuanjing quietly closed the door. Turning her head, she discovered that there was a person standing in the previously empty courtyard.

It was Bai Xuan Valley.

"You went to Baiyu Mountain to refine pills?" Bai Xuangu asked Bai Xuanjing.

It was obvious that they were waiting for Bai Xuanjing on purpose.

Bai Xuanjing nodded, "I helped Bai Xuanle, the grandson of Grandpa Qingshan, refine some Birch Demon-Feeding Pills."

"Brother, don't wait for me. I'll probably be leaving early and coming home late for the next few days, so you guys can just rest."

Baek Hyun-gu nodded.

As long as one doesn't leave Daoping Island, everyone on the island is a member of the Bai family, so the possibility of encountering any danger is extremely low.

His main concern was that Bai Xuanjing, being young and naive, might run off to the outside of the Canghuang Islands on his own.

After a brief chat, Bai Xuanjing said goodbye and went back to her room.
