Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

After exchanging greetings, Bai Mingqi continued, "This Jade Spirit Bee was obtained by my father when he went to the Scaled Demon Sea."

Then, following the instructions of the Beast Taming Token, my father refined the Jade Spirit Bee and this piece of green ironwood together.

"Uncle, don't underestimate this small ironwood beehive. It contains 35,000 jade spirit bees, and if released, it can cover an area of ​​about ten miles."

Within this range, as long as cultivators or demonic beasts don't deliberately conceal their aura, they can all be sensed by the Jade Spirit Bees!

Seeing that Bai Xuanjing knew about the Jade Spirit Bee, Bai Mingqi subconsciously felt that Bai Xuanjing was very knowledgeable about this spirit insect, so he used rather professional language when explaining it.

"More than ten li..."

Bai Xuanjing pondered in his heart.

This area is large enough to cover the entire Autumn Maple Island.

As for the No. 8 Fire Vein Island, I don't know the specifics, but it should be sufficient.

With that thought in mind, he nodded: "What's the price?"

Bai Ming asked in surprise, "Four hundred and fifty contribution points!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing frowned slightly.

This price is comparable to a mid-grade first-tier magic weapon!

However, items like beast-taming tokens are inherently expensive.

Although these Jade Spirit Bees only possessed the aura of the early stage of the first rank, and the Jade Spirit Bee Wood Blocks only had the aura of the low-grade first rank, they still covered a warning range of over ten miles...

It does have its unique uses.

Seeing Bai Xuanjing frown, Bai Mingqi assumed it was because the price was too high and immediately looked troubled.

He set up his stall today to help his father sell some unwanted miscellaneous items.

Although the Jade Spirit Bee has unique uses, it is too valuable. Ordinary family disciples can only look at it out of curiosity and will not buy it.

Seeing that they were about to go unsold, he suddenly became worried that Bai Xuanjing might change her mind.

His father promised him that 30% of the contribution points he earned from this stall sale could be used as funds to help him buy a magic artifact he had long desired and some resources for his cultivation.

The Jade Spirit Bee Swarm accounts for the majority of the funds used to purchase magical artifacts.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingqi gritted his teeth, "If Uncle Xuanjing really wants it, I can reduce your contribution points by thirty, and only charge you four hundred and twenty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

His father only took 70% of the price of the spirit stones.

After the price reduction, the 30 fewer contribution points will be calculated from the 30% of the benefits he can extract!

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing was taken aback.

He really didn't intend to bargain. On the one hand, the Jade Spirit Bee Swarm was worth the price, and on the other hand, Bai Mingqi's contribution value was not overpriced.

On the other hand, when purchasing items from within the family stalls, it would be somewhat unethical to try to lower the price for a younger person when the price of the spiritual items is normal and there is not much premium.

But since Bai Mingqi brought it up himself, he didn't have much to say.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Okay, but I might not have enough contribution points, so I'll have to pay with a combination of contribution points and spirit stones."

"Of course!" Bai Mingqi said with a delighted expression.

So Bai Xuanjing handed the identity token to Bai Mingqi, deducted the contribution points, and then took out some spirit stones to make up the amount.

After doing all this, Bai Xuanjing put the Jade Spirit Beehive into her storage bag.

Seeing Bai Xuanjing spending money lavishly, Bai Xuanjin was not surprised.

He was an alchemist and knew what it meant for Bai Xuanjing to achieve such a high success rate in alchemy at this age.

Huang Yudan alone must have earned Bai Xuanjing hundreds of contribution points this year!

After finishing their shopping, Baek Hyun-kyung and Baek Hyun-geum rushed back to Dopyeong Island.

……

Once they reached Daoping Island, the two walked together for a while before parting ways.

Before parting, Bai Xuanjing slapped his forehead, chuckled, and took out a bottle of Azure Scale Pills: "I almost forgot, Brother Xuanjin, your son has now reached the first level of Qi Refining, so I won't go to congratulate him separately."

Consider this bottle of Azure Scale Pills a small gift from me; please take it back with you!

Through these few days of conversation and casual chatter on the road, Bai Xuanjing has gained some understanding of Bai Xuanjin.

Although the family forbids the disclosure of the exact location of the resource island, it is acceptable to give a general description of its location in the sea area in order to facilitate the movement of family members.

Take Bai Xuanjing for example. He was sent to Qiufeng Island, and he could claim to be active in the waters of Jing'anfang City.

Bai Xuanjin is currently located in the vicinity of Qianyang Market.

In fact, it is located in the same sea area as the Lu family on Baishi Island.

According to Bai Qingbai, the No. 8 Fire Vein is also located in the sea area of ​​Qianyangfang City.

While Bai Xuanjing found it a coincidence, she wasn't too surprised.

After all, as the name suggests, the area around Qianyangfang Market is rich in fiery energy and has nurtured many fiery veins.

Before the Flowing Cloud Sect incorporated the Vast Sea into the Great Sea, that sea area had nurtured a fire-attribute deer-bodied demon lord, which gives us a glimpse into its nature.

Not only the Bai family, but many other families in the Haoran Sea that need fire veins have outlying resource areas in that sea region.

Besides this information, Baek Hyun-kyung also unexpectedly learned that Baek Hyun-jin was no longer alone.

He also has a son named Bai Mingxuan.

This year, Bai Mingxuan successfully entered the Dao and became a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

Today, Bai Xuanjin went to Yujing Mountain to purchase some useful spiritual items for Bai Mingxuan.

"Then I thank you very much, Brother Xuanjing!" Bai Xuanjin said generously and without any formalities, accepting the Azure Scale Pill.

This Azure Scale Pill was originally refined by Bai Xuanjing on Autumn Maple Island for his own use.

Later, after his cultivation level broke through, the effects of using first-grade low-level pills became less effective, so he stopped using them.

After spending time together, Bai Xuanjing felt that Bai Xuanjin was a person worth getting to know.

Today is a good day to present this as a gift to Baek Hyun-geum, as a way of doing him a favor.

If we reach the eighth fire vein in the future, we might need to use Bai Xuanjin if anything happens in Qianyang Market.

After all, Bai Xuanjin had been in Qianyang Market for so many years, he must have some connections.

……

Back at their lodgings, only the tortoise was in the yard.

Bai Xuanjing had nothing else to do, so he took a clean futon and sat on the ground. Then he waved his hand and cast a spell to take out the mackerel alchemy furnace.

As the spiritual energy within his body surged forth, streams of spiritual incantations flowed into the Mackerel Elixir Furnace.

The surface of the alchemy furnace gleamed with a special luster, and for a moment, a brilliant blue light shone forth.

He needs to refine the alchemy furnace before he can use this mid-grade alchemy furnace to refine pills!

……

On a mountain peak on Daoping Island,

Inside the bamboo pavilion, two figures sat facing each other, enjoying tea.

One of them, whom Bai Xuanjing had met, was Bai Jingyu, who had once visited his home and made arrangements for Bai Xuangu.

The other person was middle-aged, with a dignified aura and a cold, aloof demeanor.

If any high-ranking members of the Bai family were here, they might recognize that this middle-aged man was none other than Bai Jinghe of the third branch of the family.

Although he was born into the third branch of the family, Bai Jinghe was not good at alchemy and instead followed the path of advancement through the family's guard hall.

It is somewhat similar to Bai Xuan Valley.

The third branch has two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

One of them was named Bai Qingzhu, who was older and usually lived in seclusion.

Bai Jinghe was basically in charge of all kinds of affairs for the third branch of the family.

However, dealing with routine affairs is quite time-consuming, and Bai Jinghe is not old yet, still aspiring to reach a higher level.

In addition, his ability to handle family affairs was also limited.

On the contrary, his cousin Bai Jingyu was quite talented in this area, and since the two had a close relationship, Bai Jinghe promoted Bai Jingyu to his side.

When problems arise, the two of them usually discuss them together.
