Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

After a while, the entire Seeking Dao Valley was filled with Bai family cultivators.

Gradually, no one entered the valley through the array passage anymore.

Apart from the specially arranged cultivators, the Bai family members had basically all gathered in Seeking Dao Valley.

Suddenly, three more pale yellow bells rang out, and then the Supreme Elder of the Bai family, Jade Fan Zhenren, flew up and landed in the air.

This person is said to have a lifespan of over three hundred years and is a cultivator of the Bai family's Hua generation.

However, people rarely address him by his given name under normal circumstances.

The Bai family cultivators addressed him as the Supreme Elder or the True Man in person, while outsiders called him the Jade Fan True Man.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also flew into the air and landed beneath Jade Fan True Person.

"The real person is three hundred years old, but his appearance is not much different from yours or mine. It is said that he took a youth-preserving pill in his early years, which is why he has retained his youthful appearance."

Bai Xuanle transmitted her voice softly, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing was startled. Recalling some rumors within his family, he quickly reminded him, "The True Person's magical power is profound; Brother Xuanle, it's best not to comment on him!"

Bai Xuanle shook her head and smiled, then said nothing more.

The clan assembly ceremony was quite simple, mainly consisting of worshipping ancestors, bowing to the statues of ancestors, recounting the deeds of ancestors, and encouraging younger cultivators.

With a wave of his hand, Jade Fan Master appeared in the air, with countless memorial tablets, including statues of the Sixth Patriarch and the successive Supreme Elders.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators and those who made special contributions throughout history are depicted in portraits.

The entire clan assembly ceremony lasted for the entire morning. After the ceremony ended, Master Yu Shan was the first to leave.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators left with Jade Fan True Person, while others came down to the lower level and gathered with Qi Refining cultivators they knew to discuss something. After a few words, they headed out of Seeking Dao Valley.

Qi-refining cultivators also gathered in groups of three or five.

The clan gathering is also an opportunity for friends to get together.

In ordinary years, the form of clan gatherings outweighs their significance.

Only when the survival of the family is threatened, such as the demonic calamity in the South China Sea twenty-one years ago, can the family's cohesion be demonstrated.

The clan gatherings at that time would be even more lively.

There are too many cultivators gathered in Seeking the Dao Valley.

Bai Xuanjing couldn't find Bai Xuangu and his wife and Bai Jingming in the crowd, so she went to Yujing Mountain with Bai Xuanle.

……

After Jade Fan Immortal vanished into thin air, he appeared in a dark room in the ancestral hall.

Inside the dark room, an elderly monk sat cross-legged.

In front of this person, a pink bead spun in mid-air, and as it spun, a faint mist rose and fell.

As the mist billowed and billowed, a series of bizarre scenes appeared in the dark room.

The patterns in the scroll are blurry and indistinct, with only interwoven lines of various colors visible, making it very abstract.

Outsiders can't tell anything from it.

The cultivator held a talisman pen, glanced at the scroll, and then wrote some content on a scroll of ancient text.

It's as if I've gleaned some kind of insight from the painting.

As Jade Fan Zhenren appeared, the pink bead in mid-air suddenly trembled slightly and emitted a faint glow.

The elderly monk also rose and bowed, saying, "Sixth Uncle!"

This person's aura was quite strong, indicating he was at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He also addressed Jade Fan True Man as Sixth Uncle, suggesting he was a Bai family cultivator of a very high seniority.

However, this person did not appear at the grand ceremony for foreign clans at the ancestral hall just now.

Master Yu Shan glanced at the elderly cultivator, his expression somewhat dazed.

The person in front of him bore a resemblance to him in terms of features. Although much younger, the person looked much older. If it weren't for the address, the person would seem like his elder.

"How is it?"

Master Yu Shan sat cross-legged opposite the elderly cultivator, his expression neither sad nor happy, and began to inquire.

As he spoke, he glanced at the books in front of the cultivator.

"It's still the same two or three bookworms as in previous years, but one of them has become strange this year."

The elderly monk pointed to a name in the scriptures.

"The youngest of the Xuan generation... Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord..."

Master Yu Shan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the names and records in the ancient texts, seemingly lost in thought. "Could it be possession?"

Then he had some doubts: "The Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord was personally killed by Senior Songmingzi back then, so he should not have left behind his soul."

The elderly cultivator shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. Baozhu only sensed this aura for a moment; perhaps it was a misjudgment?"

Master Yu Shan shook his head: "No, I personally participated in the battle against the demonic scourge in the South China Sea back then, although I did not use the pearl openly."

But this precious pearl had personally sensed and memorized the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord's supernatural power; it wouldn't cause such a big problem.

The dark room fell into a temporary silence.

"Let's see. Jinlan Island... Let's bring him along. He's just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, not a big deal. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to see his true colors."

After a long silence, Master Jade Fan spoke again.

……

On Yujing Mountain.

Bai Xuanjing and Bai Xuanle took their seats in the teahouse.

Several mortal servants brought out spiritual tea and poured it for the two of them, and also brought some spiritual fruits for them to enjoy.

Although the local spiritual tea cannot compare to the Qinwu flower tea, it still has some benefits for cultivation.

"This is the Demon-Feeding Pill, and this is the Earth Fire Token. There's still some time left to use."

After the door to the private room closed, Bai Xuanjing took out the bottle containing the Demon-Feeding Pill and the Earth Fire Token, and handed them to Bai Xuanle.

Bai Xuanle took the pill bottle, examined it, and then left two bottles of demon-feeding pills along with the Earth Fire Token, pushing them to Bai Xuanjing.

"The Earth Fire Token can be used to purchase contribution points, but contribution points cannot be refunded. I'm too lazy to trade it with other alchemists at a lower price, so I'll just give it to you."

"These two bottles of Demon-Feeding Pills are, as usual, a gift for you."

After saying that, Bai Xuanle changed the subject: "You should have already signed a contract with the Zhiluo Turtle, right?"

Bai Xuanjing nodded, and then, going along with the flow, raised some of his doubts about beast taming and brought up the matter of the beast taming technique.

Bai Xuanle didn't hold back and answered all the questions she could.

However, when it comes to beast-taming techniques, he was somewhat helpless: "Our family doesn't have the exclusive beast-taming techniques for the Fallen Turtle, and we can't get those from the Flowing Cloud Sect either. We can only pin our hopes on the broken inheritances in the hands of the rogue cultivators in the market."

"I'll keep an eye out for that in the future. If I come across anything related to the Turtle, I can help you get it."

"However, the chances of encountering one are slim. After all, the Zhilu Turtle is a second-tier demon beast, and it's unlikely that a rogue cultivator would possess it and study it."

Bai Xuanjing nodded, not expecting Bai Xuanle to provide any additional assistance in this regard.

After all, even Bai Qingshan couldn't solve the problem of the Zhiluo Turtle's unique beast-taming technique.

As she spoke, Bai Xuanle's eyes flickered slightly, and she chuckled, "You said a while ago that your alchemy skills had reached the mid-stage of the first rank..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanjing looked at Bai Xuanle, her heart stirred slightly, recalling her last meeting with Bai Xuanle.

He suspected something was wrong with Bai Xuanle back then, and now that it's been brought up again...

Thinking of this, Bai Xuanjing said calmly, "What is it? Brother Xuanjing, is something the matter?"

Bai Xuanle nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a pill manual from her storage bag.

"Brother Xuanjing, please take a look at this prescription first."

Bai Xuanjing glanced at it and was surprised to see the three words "Feather Pill" on the pill manual.
