Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

After exchanging the storage bag, Bai Qinglu didn't waste any words and held Bai Xuanjing's identity token in one hand.

With his other hand, he took out the jade token used to deduct contribution points from the Contribution Pavilion and condensed a magic incantation.

Two flashes of white light appeared, and she returned the identity token to Bai Xuanjing.

After taking the token, Bai Xuanjing examined it briefly and found that there were only 403 contribution points left on the identity token.

Although the amount has been greatly reduced, it is still considered generous among Bai family disciples of the same age.

Bai Xuanjin and Bai Xuanluo have also prepared enough contribution points.

Bai Qingbai had already revealed the details of the reward during this period, and they had also prepared the contribution points in advance, so there was no situation where they did not have enough contribution points.

After the contribution points were deducted, there was basically nothing else to do. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai Qingbai and Bai Qinglu led the three of them out of the contribution pavilion.

"The clan assembly will be held in three days. In recent years, the clan has been preparing for war, so everything has been simplified, and even the clan members' competitions have been canceled," Bai Qingbai said softly, his expression complicated.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing began to ponder.

The so-called clan competition is a fixed event held every three years at the clan meeting, which includes magical contests and competitions in various arts and crafts.

Those who rank higher will receive rewards from their clan.

On one hand, it's for good luck, and on the other hand, it also reflects the strength of the family's disciples.

This year's clan gathering did not include any clan competitions.

Bai Qingbai seemed to have some regrets about this.

Bai Qingbai then looked at Bai Xuanjing and said:

"After the clan meeting, you will all be going to your assigned posts one after another. I will go to see the Eleventh Elder in the next couple of days to give you an explanation regarding the No. 8 Fire Vein."

The so-called Eleventh Elder is Bai Jinghe of the Third Branch.

The third branch has two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

One of them, named Bai Qingzhu, was older and usually lived in seclusion. Bai Jinghe was in charge of most of the affairs of the third branch of the family.

Bai Xuanjing nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Grandpa Qingbai!"

"It's alright!"

Bai Qingbai smiled and waved, then said, "I have other matters to attend to on Nianzu Island, so I won't see you back."

Although the Canghuang Islands are far apart, all the monsters in the surrounding sea area have been eliminated, and only members of the Bai family are coming and going.

In addition, with the regular patrols by the Bai family's guard hall, there is basically no danger if one does not leave the Canghuang Islands area.

Bai Xuanjing and the other two quickly clasped their hands in thanks.

The three of them benefited greatly from Bai Qingbai's special training at Bishui Dan, and were naturally grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Bai Qingbai nodded, took out the flying carpet, and then leaped up, sat cross-legged on the flying carpet, and flew towards a mountain on Nianzu Island.

"I'm planning to go to Yujingshan Park. What are your plans?"

After seeing Bai Qingbai off, Bai Xuanjin looked at Bai Xuanjing and the other person.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred slightly.

Yujing Mountain is a mountain range on Nianzu Island.

The Bai family has many cultivators, and they also have various needs from cultivators on a daily basis.

Therefore, the Bai family opened a small internal market on Yujing Mountain, with facilities such as restaurants and teahouses, and also allowed Bai family disciples to set up stalls to sell various spiritual items.

It can be considered a small, internal market.

Because the family sends out many disciples and undertakes many missions, many disciples go to various parts of Haoran Sea to carry out missions every year.

Some clever ones would bring back rare spiritual items from other seas on their return and sell them at Yujing Mountain.

These spiritual items are not necessarily sold in the Contribution Pavilion.

Bai Xuanlu smoothed a strand of hair at her temple and said with a smile, "I plan to go back and review my progress in alchemy and cultivation over this period, so I won't be going to Yujing Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjin nodded, then looked at Bai Xuanjing: "Xuanjing, what about you? There are many stalls set up by Bai family disciples in Yujing Mountain."

There may not be many treasures, but there are still some toys suitable for cultivators and young children.

"I heard you have a nephew and niece. If you don't have anything suitable to give as a gift, why don't you stop by Yujing Mountain and pick out some?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Xuanjing felt that Bai Xuanjin's plan was appropriate.

The gift for Bai Mingyuan has been decided; it's the Azure Water Bright Heart Stone that we received as a settlement reward.

But Bai Ling'er didn't really have many suitable items to use as a gift.

There's really no need to go to the market to buy things.

After all, there are dangers on the way there and there isn't enough time.

Yujing Mountain would be a good fit.

Upon realizing this, Bai Xuanjing cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xuanjin, you've hit the nail on the head. Let's go to Yujing Mountain together."

"Then I won't stay with you!" Bai Xuanlu waved his hand and smiled mischievously.

Over time, the three of them, including Bai Xuanjing, have grown closer.

Bai Xuanjin is an upright person, while Bai Xuanluo is somewhat arrogant, but if you can convince her with your true talent and learning, she will not make trouble.

Overall, the three of them have a fairly harmonious relationship now.

……

Yujingshan is a small mountain range, with some shops set up around it.

At the foot of the mountain, many cultivators sat on the ground and set up stalls.

Upon arriving at the foot of Yujing Mountain, one can see various rare spiritual herbs, minerals, and other resources displayed on stalls.

Some stalls also displayed puppets, battle flags, and demonic insects.

It was a dazzling array of items.

Baek Hyun-jin took the initiative to explain to Baek Hyun-kyung.

"East of the Vast Ocean lies the Scaled Demon Ocean. Our Bai clan rose to prominence during the Vast Ocean's conquest of the Scaled Demon Ocean, which is why our clan's territory is mostly located in the eastern outer sea."

This stretch of sea is also where the Bai family disciples are most concentrated.

"The Scale Demon Sea is inhabited by demons. Cultivators returning from there mostly bring back demon beast materials, wild spiritual herbs, and other spiritual items, and occasionally some rare spiritual minerals."

"However, to the north of the Vast Sea is the Wind-Cracked Sea, where the spiritual energy is abundant, but the environment is harsh. Cultivators mostly rely on formations to survive and puppets for protection. Therefore, the arts of formations and puppets are quite developed."

"To the south lies the Demon Sea, where there are quite a few strange and unusual things."

Although their lineages differ, simply using items from demonic cultivators, as long as it doesn't involve blood sacrifices for cultivators, doesn't violate any major taboos, and the Flowing Cloud Sect turns a blind eye.

Upon hearing Bai Xuanjin's words, Bai Xuanjing unconsciously recalled the distribution of the Vast Ocean recorded in the family's archives.

The Vast Ocean is so vast that the Bai family naturally cannot truly cover the entire ocean area.

However, I do have some understanding of the distribution of power in the surrounding sea area.

To the east lies the Scaled Demon Sea, to the north the Wind-Splitting Sea, and to the south the Piercing Demon Sea…

As for the west, it is said to be a dangerous place with scarce spiritual energy, a place of great danger, where ordinary cultivators dare not even set foot.

The Bai family's records of that sea area are also vague.

The items on the stalls of the cultivators were mostly "specialties" from the places where these disciples had been sent out. The quality might not be very high, but they were all rare items in the Vast Ocean and quite novel.

Bai Xuanjing took a few steps and then stopped in front of a stall.

The stall displayed some puppets.

The cultivator who set up the stall was a cultivator wearing the family's standard Daoist robe.
