"The first thing to do is to find a trustworthy person to take this token to one of the nearest markets managed by my Jade Spring Sect, find the market manager, and purchase three sets of all the spiritual materials on this list."
Zhuang Wen took the form and, after receiving Chen Shuangbai's permission, carefully read through it.
This document records the dozen or so spiritual materials needed to refine the Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder.
Chen Shuangbai was not afraid of being observed by those with ulterior motives, because having these spiritual materials alone was useless; this Yin Thunder Method also required a refining method to successfully condense a thunder seed.
Only then can the thunder move at will, striking wherever it's pointed.
Be careful not to get caught.
Zhuang Wen nodded emphatically, indicating that he understood.
"The second thing is to send someone to the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance."
"Order a batch of high-quality Silver Light Fish from them in the name of the garrison commander's office. Tell them I'm hosting a banquet. Be polite, and the price can be fair, even slightly higher is fine."
"And who are these guests?" Zhuang Wen asked curiously.
Chen Shuangbai squinted at Zhuang Wen, speaking casually.
"Naturally, it's the Azure Flood Dragon Society and the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance."
Zhuang Wen gazed at those beautiful eyes, reflecting the shimmering light of the clear lake not far away. The shimmering water was truly captivating, and anyone who saw it would surely praise him as a gentle and refined gentleman.
But Zhuang Wen felt a chill run down his spine for no reason.
This senior uncle from our sect is a formidable figure.
"I'll take care of it right away."
The next day.
Chen Shuangbai was cultivating in the Listening to the Waves Pavilion, with two students from the Dao Academy sitting beside him, namely Meng Fu and Fei Liyan.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the courtyard gate, and a mortal teacher who taught literacy at the Daoist academy stood respectfully at the door. "Immortal Master, a cultivator has arrived at the academy gate, saying he is looking for you."
Those who came looking for me?
"But are they local monks?"
The master shook his head, indicating that he was not a local monk.
Chen Shuangbai was somewhat surprised and had someone call him in.
He was a cultivator dressed in blue, whose cultivation level was probably at the Second Layer of Qi Refining. Behind him were two ordinary martial artists, who, according to the martial arts level in the mortal world, were probably at the level of innate masters.
The blue-robed cultivator bowed to Chen Shuangbai, then turned his hand over, revealing one of the seals.
"Oh, so you're one of Senior Brother Fan's people."
This blue-robed cultivator at the Second Layer of Qi Refining was none other than Fan Yunsong, from the Fan Household of Jing Valley.
He traveled a long way to take away the elixirs that Chen Shuangbai had been refining over the past few days.
Chen Shuangbai handed a Storage Bag that she had prepared beforehand to the other party and asked, "Why do you only come once in May? I agreed with Senior Brother Fan that we would deliver it every two months."
The cultivator from the Fan Household, having received instructions from Fan Yunsong, treated Chen Shuangbai with great respect.
"My lord, my name is Fan Qi. Sixth Master had some trouble, but it's all been resolved now. He asked me to inform you that everything is back to normal."
"I will come back around this time every two months to collect the pills."
Fan Yunsong was the sixth son in the Fan Household, so he was known as Sixth Master within the Fan Household.
That's not a lie.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, handing over the basic pills she had refined in her spare time over May, and said, "Check them and see the quality."
The cultivator from the Fan Household shook his head and said something that surprised Chen Shuangbai.
"Sixth Master said that the pills you refine are always of very high quality; you only need to count the quantity, not inspect the quality."
Chen Shuangbai was taken aback and could only let him go.
Fan Qi quickly inventoried all the pills.
"My lord, there are a total of seventy-seven bottles of Miasma-Cleansing Pill, sixty-two bottles of Spring-Turning Pill, thirty-three bottles of Jade Dew Pill, thirty-eight Water Cloud Pill, and twenty-four bottles of Jade Healing Pill."
After taking inventory, Fan Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.
Seeing his expression, Chen Shuangbai thought there was something wrong with the pills she had refined. "But what's wrong?"
Fan Qi shook his head, his words becoming increasingly respectful.
"May I ask, sir, are you now a mid-level Pill-Refining Apprentice?"
Before entering the next level, the classification of those who study the various arts of cultivation is simply low, medium, and high, which are three types of Pill-Refining Apprentice.
Chen Shuangbai shook her head.
He has been busy cultivating, refining pills, and dealing with matters Wind Howling Ford these days, and has not been trying to advance his cultivation level.
Upon hearing this, Fan Qi became even more respectful.
A moment later, the Fan Household cultivators departed on their flying Law Artifact, leaving behind a batch of Spirit Stone for Chen Shuangbai.
But that's not enough.
The Fan Household underestimated the quality of the pills refined by Chen Shuangbai.
Putting aside quality, let's just talk about quantity.
Over five months, nearly two hundred bottles of elixirs and thousands of pills were refined, with nearly 80% being genuine and the remaining 20% being premium quality.
This level of skill is beyond what a novice Pill-Refining Apprentice should possess.
Although Fan Qi was a servant of the Fan Household, he was also a cultivator and naturally knew the power and status of Alchemist.
After he left, Chen Shuangbai suddenly understood his expression.
"Hehe, this is only because I toned it down a little."
Chen Shuangbai mastered the alchemy secret technique of "Fair Hands Divide the Stars," which could improve the efficiency of pill formation, and later condensed the Lord of the First Month Divine Aspect.
With Lord of the First Month Divine Aspect governing growth, the speed of alchemy also increased.
It can be said that Chen Shuangbai's alchemy skills are now both fast and stable.
"Perhaps..."
Fan Qi's words reminded Chen Shuangbai of something.
"I still need to make time to visit the Pill Alliance."
at the same time.
The Azure Flood Dragon Society also received Chen Shuangbai's invitation.
It was precisely because of this invitation that the Azure Flood Dragon Society stirred up trouble.
The headquarters of the Azure Flood Dragon Society is located near the ferry crossing.
It was a six-story building, originally a restaurant, but business was bad, so it was taken over by the Azure Flood Dragon Society and transformed into their headquarters.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there's definitely something fishy going on.
But the Azure Flood Dragon Society acted discreetly, and the victim stopped protesting, so the matter was dropped.
Deep within the pavilion.
The letter lay quietly on the desk, watched by two pairs of eyes.
For a long while.
The slightly younger of the two men took it in his hand, glanced at it, and said, "Brother, is there a trap here?"
At the head of the table sat a thin, white-clad middle-aged man who looked like he was suffering from tuberculosis. No, he shouldn't be called a man; he should be described as a thin middle-aged man.
The elder brother in white and the younger brother in blue were both tall and slender, much taller than ordinary people.
Upon closer inspection, these two brothers have eyes that are slightly different from those of ordinary people.
These two brothers were the leaders of the Azure Flood Dragon Society.
The elder brother's name was Bai Zhixing, and the younger brother's name was Bai Xiuyuan.
Bai Zhixing took the invitation, glanced at its contents, and then at the signature in the lower left corner. He slowly said, "Regardless of whether it's a scam or not, since they've sent the invitation, I have no choice but to go."
