Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Chapter 73 Island Arrangement

Outside Xiaoye Island,

Bai Xuanjing summoned the Zhiluo Turtle, stood on the monster's back, and bid farewell to Bai Xuangu.

Then he changed his fingertips' hand seals, and a talisman fell towards the tortoise that had stopped falling.

The demon's body surged with demonic power as it swam downstream.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Bai Xuangu stood on the spirit boat, gazing in the direction where Bai Xuanjing had disappeared. After a moment of silence, he also steered the spirit boat back to the Canghuang Islands.

……

After leaving the Canghuang Islands for a while, Bai Xuanjing made the Stop-Fall Turtle stop.

Then he took out the Concealing Cloak and put it on.

Only after doing all this did he continue to disappear.

Along the way, they encountered the escape lights of other cultivators.

The spiritual energy in this sea area is not thin, so there are more cultivators here.

However, no evil cultivators tried to take advantage of Bai Xuanjing.

This place is an inland sea, so even evil cultivators are more cautious in their actions, and there are not many cultivators who would impulsively decide to ambush and kill others.

Upon arriving at Xuan Gui Island, Bai Xuanjing went straight to the dock, bought a boat ticket, and then boarded the ship when the time came.

He is now familiar with the process of boarding the ship and does it with ease.

……

Nothing happened along the way.

Jing'an Fangshi.

After disembarking, Bai Xuanjing left the dock and changed into the Hidden Spirit Cloak.

He didn't rush back to Qiufeng Island immediately, but instead strolled around Jing'an Market.

Bai Xuanjing stopped in front of a monster stall.

"Mid-stage Tier 1, Azure-Armored Leopard?"

Bai Xuanjing narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the monster corpses on the stall.

The cultivator who set up the stall was a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator with his upper body exposed, and his entire body was covered in scars.

Some of the wounds were clearly left by cultivators' magical artifacts, while others were left by demonic beasts.

He's clearly a formidable character.

The cultivator who set up the stall was shirtless, revealing his scars, clearly regarding these wounds as a source of pride, and also serving as a way to intimidate those who might try to harm him.

Bai Xuanjing was not drawn to this person because of his uniqueness.

This stall displayed many monster corpses.

These are all untreated monsters, and they are all intact.

Take this blue-armored leopard for example; this demon is a mid-grade first-tier killing beast.

Although it is small in size, it has a pair of very sharp teeth that can break through the defenses of most demonic beasts and the ordinary protective measures of cultivators.

Moreover, the Blue-Armored Leopard is covered in blue patches all over its body, like armor, which is exceptionally sturdy and can withstand most attacks.

The demon had almost no other wounds on its body, except that its eyes were blood holes from which the blood had turned black and congealed.

Clearly, both of the blue-armored leopards died after being struck in the eyes by the cultivator who was setting up the stall.

The same applies to most of the other monsters.

In this way, the usable materials on the monster can be guaranteed to be protected from being destroyed by spells or magical artifacts to the greatest extent possible.

Clearly, this cultivator who set up the stall was a skilled demon hunter.

The Blue-Armored Leopard is not a common monster and is not easily seen.

Moreover, this demon is a type of mid-grade first-tier demon beast that is quite skilled in killing.

It is most suitable for protection.

Bai Xuanjing thought of the Corpse Puppet Pill.

The Corpse Puppet Pills he purchased initially included the refining methods for mid-grade first-tier pills and the techniques for refining corpse puppets.

His initial purpose in purchasing the pill formula was to create some corpse puppets to protect himself.

Although corpse puppets are mechanical and clumsy in their actions, unlike living monsters, their sheer numbers make them extremely terrifying.

However, his success rate with the Azure Water Pill was not very high before the new year, so the refining of the first-grade mid-level Corpse Puppet Pill was not put on the agenda.

at the moment……

You could try a mid-grade first-tier corpse puppet pill.

"What, fellow Daoist, are you interested in my demonic beast materials?"

Upon seeing Bai Xuanjing stop, the cultivator at the stall spoke slowly and deliberately.

"How much for this blue-armored leopard?"

Bai Xuanjing spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Fellow Daoist has good taste. The sharp teeth of the Azure-Armored Leopard can be used to refine magical artifacts, and its armor, after being refined and mixed with spiritual ore, is also an excellent material for refining magical artifacts."

"You could say she's a treasure trove!"

"One blue-armored leopard, one hundred low-grade spirit stones!"

The cultivator at the stall boasted about his wares before setting a price.

After some haggling, Bai Xuanjing bought two corpses of blue-armored leopards for 170 low-grade spirit stones.

Bai Xuanjing readily paid the spirit stones, then put the two demonic beasts into her storage bag and quickly left along the market street.

After that, he went to various shops in the market and bought enough medicinal ingredients for ten portions of Corpse Puppet Pills.

Having done all this, and after carefully sensing that no one was following behind her and that the Concealing Cloak had not given any warning, Bai Xuanjing felt relieved and headed out of the market.

……

Autumn Maple Island.

After several months away, there haven't been many changes on the island.

After arriving on the island, Bai Xuanjing put the Zhilu Turtle into her spirit beast pouch.

The emotions this demon conveyed to Bai Xuanjing indicated that it wanted to play in the ocean.

However, considering that the demonic beast might attract hunters or cultivators, Bai Xuanjing resolutely rejected the idea of ​​the Fallen Turtle.

Autumn Maple Island has a weak spiritual energy, and there are almost no cultivators or demonic beasts to be encountered on a daily basis. Bai Xuanjing does not want to attract any trouble because of the Fallen Turtle.

At most, we let the tortoise go out for some fresh air every now and then.

Afterwards, Bai Xuanjing took out the Jade Spirit Bee Swarm from the Spirit Beast Bag.

After obtaining this item, Bai Xuanjing refined it.

Now it's as easy to use as an extension of my arm; I can control the movements of the Jade Spirit Bee swarm.

With a thought, Bai Xuanjing channeled spiritual energy into the Jade Spirit Beehive.

Immediately afterwards, countless jade spirit bees flew out of the hive and dissipated like black mist.

With her eyes closed, Bai Xuanjing was able to sense the spiritual energy fluctuations within a radius of more than ten miles using the Jade Spirit Bee.

Although this perception is extremely faint and obscure, like looking at flowers through fog, it is not clear.

However, Bai Xuanjing can detect any cultivator or demon beast that enters the Jade Spirit Bee's sensing range.

"My darling!"

Bai Xuanjing sighed inwardly.

Then, he arrived at the underground magma.

This place hasn't changed much since he left.

Bai Xuanjing first cooked a meal and enjoyed it to his heart's content, then took out his notes on medicinal pills and began to study them.

Before long, Bai Xuanjing raised his hand and knocked the mackerel alchemy furnace out, which landed in the center.

Then he also took out the Huaiyin Wood Spirit Pearl.

Bai Xuanjing cast two spells at the Huaiyin Wood Spirit Pearl, and the pearl immediately began to spin.

A cluster of flames emerged from the surface of the spirit pearl.

As Bai Xuanjing changed her incantation, the flames suddenly grew larger, becoming raging flames, and under Bai Xuanjing's control, they surged into the area beneath the alchemy furnace.

The Locust Tree Spirit Pearl is not the true source of spiritual fire; its fire source will be gradually consumed with repeated use.

Therefore, Bai Xuanjing dared not waste it and only used it when refining mid-grade first-level pills.

He planned to refine the Azure Water Pill first.

This is entirely because they are most skilled at making Bi Shui Dan (碧水丹), and can obtain stable settlement rewards by refining Bi Shui Dan.

First, improve your alchemy skills by one level, and then try to refine other first-tier mid-grade pills such as the Corpse Puppet Pill. The success rate will be higher.
