Douluo Continent: The Silver Winged Star, a Night of Clan Extermination at the Start!

Over the next few days, Bai Chen's life became unusually busy and regular.

During the day, he would still go to the library to read for two hours.

Following that were four hours of unwavering soul power cultivation and physical training.

In the evening, go to the back mountain to summon the Heavenly Comet Dragon to possess you, experience the extreme speed of the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul, and explore the most suitable fighting style under the possession of the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul.

At night, after finishing his chores, Bai Chen would lock himself in the storeroom that served as a makeshift laboratory to make soap and bar soap, meticulously recording the process and summarizing his solutions.

Bai Song, a young man from a collateral branch who was called in to help, went from being completely bewildered at first to watching the murky liquid magically transform into solid in the young master's hands, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

But he kept the young master's instructions firmly in mind and never uttered a word to outsiders.

On the fourth night.

Bai Chen carefully removed the wooden molds, turned them over, and gently tapped them on the wooden board underneath.

"Clatter".

A pale yellow, square, smooth solid fell onto the wooden board.

Then, the second piece, the third piece... from the other mold, came out a solid with a light green and light pink hue, inlaid with tiny flower petals, and emitting a delicate fragrance.

Bai Chen picked up a pale yellow basic soap. It felt heavy in his hand, with a uniform and hard texture.

He leaned closer and smelled it; there was only a clean, faint soap scent, without any strange smell.

I picked up a light green mint soap; its cool fragrance was refreshing.

It worked!

Bai Chen couldn't help but be very happy.

He immediately got to work, using an old cloth that had been prepared beforehand and was stained with oil and dust, to begin the cleaning and testing.

Everything feels so familiar!

Not only does it produce abundant foam and have extremely strong cleaning power, but the old cloths left after washing also retain a hint of soap fragrance.

That's it!

Without any delay, Bai Chen found a clean wicker basket, took out several bars of soap of different colors and scents, and neatly arranged them inside.

Then, he picked up the basket, walked out of the courtyard again, and headed towards the main hall of the clan chief's residence.

"That's all for tonight. We'll see the results tomorrow morning. You must be tired, go and get some rest."

It was nighttime.

But the main hall was still brightly lit.

"What's going on? Why is Grandpa still awake so late?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Bai Chen's mind, and he quickly stepped forward.

A series of sounds could be heard coming from inside the hall.

"We can't delay any longer! Clan Chief, the only usable money left in the accounts is 1,227 gold soul coins!"

"But next month's monthly allowance for the entire clan of over five hundred people, the funds needed to prepare soul beast meat for the children, and the wear and tear on the training ground equipment that needs repair... which expense can be cut back on? We only have so much money; if we prioritize one thing, we can't afford to prioritize the other!"

The anxious voice of Second Grandfather Bai Peng came through.

But inside the hall, there was a long silence.

"How about we write another letter to Chief Titan, Chief Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi, requesting their assistance..."

The Third Elder's hesitant voice rang out.

"No, let's think of another way!"

The white crane let out a long sigh.

"Since our last gathering of the four major clans, we have each borrowed money from the other three clans."

"We haven't paid back the money we borrowed last time. If we borrow again, won't we lose face?"

"Chieftain, but... the clan is truly out of money! If there isn't a significant increase in income, next month the clan will have to tighten its belt and might even starve!"

The hall fell silent once again.

Hearing this, Bai Chen finally couldn't resist and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

Hearing the noise, and seeing the silhouette of a figure outside the door through the light.

Bai He and the elders quickly suppressed their outward emotions.

Bai He sat up straight, forcing a smile of his usual gentleness onto his face, and looked toward the doorway.

He then quickly glanced at Bai Peng, Bai Yu, and the others, his eyes carrying a clear warning.

Don't mention these things in front of children!

"Please come in!"

"Squeak—"

The hall door was pushed open.

Bai Chen walked in, carrying a rattan basket covered with coarse burlap in each hand.

"Chen'er?"

Baihe spoke first, her voice returning to its usual gentle tone, as if the gloom and despair of the moment had never existed.

"It's so late, why aren't you resting yet? Is there some problem with your cultivation?"

He tried to change the subject.

Bai Peng and Bai Yu quickly adjusted their expressions and gave Bai Chen forced smiles.

However, Bai Chen shook his head.

He walked into the hall, gently placed the rattan basket on the tea table between the three elders, then took a half step back, looked calmly at Baihe, and spoke clearly and steadily.

"Grandpa, I heard everything you said outside the door."

The smile on Bai He's face froze slightly.

Bai Peng and Bai Yu were also stunned. They looked at each other, both feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Chen'er, these things..."

Baihe tried to explain that she didn't want her grandson to bear these pressures too early.

"Grandpa," Bai Chen interrupted him, his tone still steady, but with an undeniable seriousness.

"My grandson knows that the clan is facing difficulties right now, and next month we might... not even have enough to eat."

These words were so direct that they made the three elders' faces turn somewhat unpleasant.

Baihe, in particular, felt guilty and ashamed that she had lost face as an elder in front of her grandson.

But Bai Chen's next words made them instantly forget these emotions.

"I have come here to tell Grandpa and the three elders."

Bai Chen's gaze swept over the three of them, finally settling on Bai He's face.

"My grandson has a solution; perhaps he can resolve the family's current predicament."

"Moreover, if all goes well, the family may no longer need to ask others for money in the future."

"What?!"

The three of them spoke almost in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

A child over six years old claims to have a way to solve the economic problems that have plagued these old folks for years?

Bai Chen said no more, stepped forward, and reached out to lift the coarse linen covering the wicker basket.

Suddenly, dozens of pale yellow cubes of various colors and regular shapes, as well as some colorful cubes with a light hue, inlaid with delicate flowers and grasses, and emitting a light fragrance, appeared before the astonished eyes of the three.

"This is……"

Elder Baiyu was the most anxious. He leaned over, picked up a pale yellow piece, found it to be heavy in his hand, and sniffed it.

"It has a very faint... soapberry smell? But it doesn't quite smell like it. It has a hard texture. What is it?"

Baihe and Baipeng each picked up a piece to examine it, their faces full of confusion.

"Grandpa, Elders, this item is called 'Soap'."

Bai Chen picked up a pale yellow basic soap and began to explain.

"These things next to it that have color and fragrance are called 'scented soaps'."

"These aren't toys or stones, but rather items used for cleaning, washing clothes, deodorizing, and adding fragrance, similar to soapberries and floral water, but much more effective!"

Before the three could ask any questions, Bai Chen had already taken out a small earthenware jar and a piece of old cloth that was specially prepared and covered in oil and mud from the basket.

He quickly smeared the grime on his hands, soiling a corner of the cloth.

Then pick up the pale yellow soap, wet it, and rub it.

Abundant white foam is generated instantly, and the stubborn oil stains are emulsified and peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After rinsing with clean water, Bai Chen showed his hands and the cloth to the three people.

Clean! Almost sparkling clean!

Only the murky water in the copper basin proved that the filth they had just witnessed was not an illusion.

The three elders' eyes widened instantly, and their breathing became rapid.
