  Chapter 30 Family Quest

   "You've asked the right place. All the artifacts are listed in the Artifact Refining Hall, and only the flying sword is displayed in the warehouse."

   "As far as the few refiners in the clan, the Patriarch dares not trust them to refine the spirit bamboo. Every time, he finds a second-level refiner who has made friends with him."

  The old man stretched out his hand and made a move, and three dark emerald flying swords flew towards him suddenly, forming a circle of three talents.

  Although it is refined with spiritual plants, it looks so sharp and exudes bursts of murderous aura, and it feels cool to stand next to it.

   It deserves to be the number one in killing and cutting down, the flying sword that stands proudly at the same level.

   "To exchange a Black Bamboo Sword, you need 500 points of family contribution. However, with your qualifications, within a few years, the family will definitely give it to you, so there is no need to spend contributions to exchange it now."

  " Mr. Xie made a point, just asking casually."

  Bai Zichen took a deep look at Mo Zhujian, and for a moment he really wanted to return the two bottles of pills and exchange Feijian.

  But with reason in his heart, he still persuaded him.

   "Although the Black Bamboo Sword is good, the purple ginseng pill will not only be used by me in the future, but uncle also needs it, so don't give it up."

  Uncle Bai Jiuan's limited spiritual root, even a well-known ascetic in the clan, barely reached the eighth level of Qi refining.

  The key point is that Bai Jiuan is already forty-eight years old, and he will reach the important hurdle of fifty years old in only two years.

  If Zishen Pills help, there is still a chance to improve his cultivation.

   "I'll send uncle two bottles of purple ginseng pills first... As for the Qi Buqi pills, I'll just take one pill every month. I'll speed up the refining efficiency after I get used to it."

  Bai Zichen estimated that by the end of the year, he should be able to reach the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.

   "The contribution of the Bai Ling family is less than half of mine... Presumably the elixir has been used up. Something is wrong, my goal is to build a foundation, so why compete with a little girl."

  Out of the warehouse, Bai Zichen hummed a ditty and went to look for Bai Jiuan.

   If my memory serves me right, my uncle Bai Jiuan took up the position of guarding mines in the clan last year in order to accumulate cultivation resources.

  In addition to the output of spiritual plants, this cold iron vein is the main source of spiritual stones for the Bai family.

   As a first-grade middle-grade ore, cold iron can be used to refine middle-grade magical artifacts, or become auxiliary materials for top-grade or extreme-grade magical artifacts.

  The value is not too high, the advantage is that this first-order vein is tens of miles long, and there is a large amount of cold iron exposed on the surface, so it is easier to mine.

  The monthly output of cold iron exceeds two hundred catties.

About five or six hundred ordinary miners and seven or eight clansmen stay on the mine all year round. The former excavate the ore and transport it to the warehouse. iron.

  As the current Bai family, Bai Jiu'an is one of the few monks in the late stage of Qi refining. He sits here, not only to guard against monsters, but also to deter wandering cultivators.

  …

   "Sister, don't give me the elixir master gave you next time. If I hadn't used your two qi pills, you might have reached the sixth level of qi refining!"

  Bai Wei, who had a thick head and a tiger head back then, has grown into a strong young man, and his cultivation base has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

   "Six layers of Qi refining, how can it be so simple."

  In a few years, Bai Ling has become more and more succulent, his skin is as warm as jade, and his hair is radiant.

   "The cultivation speed of Taiyin Suyun Xuanshui True Kung Fu is much faster than the previous ones. It's a pity that my spiritual root is not in line with you, so I can't switch to practice. Otherwise, I will definitely beg the patriarch to teach you this method."

There was a trace of sadness on Bai Wei's face, and it disappeared in a flash: "Sister, I have accepted several family tasks in your name in the past two months, with the care of my master and the help of my family members, it was completed quickly. There are also sixty points in total. Contribution, combined with what you left before, can be exchanged for a bottle of Qi Bu Pills!"

  Family tasks, there must be difficulties and difficulties.

  As long as it is promulgated artificially, there is naturally room for manipulation. Honggu, as the elder of the family, and her disciple Bai Ling, who is the foundation-building seed of the Bai family, are often given preferential treatment in terms of task content.

  Even if other people have some opinions, at most they can complain in private, which cannot cause waves.

   Like Bai Chongwu's nectar collection, a low-cost family task without any suspense, he has to travel to five places in Heishan County to collect five different nectars, which are used to refine a kind of advanced sandalwood.

  Just the time on the road will take more than a month.

   And return rewards, only ten points of contribution.

  As for the family tasks assigned to Bai Ling, they are often near the clan area. In addition, Honggu arranged for her subordinates to help, and they can be completed within a month, and the rewards will not be less than 20 points.

   "Alright, the Buqi Pill has been discontinued for several months, and I just went to get a new one today."

  The two siblings went to the warehouse side by side and offered to exchange for a bottle of Qi Buqi pills, but they were rejected.

   "Grandpa Mo, why is this? I remember the patriarch said that I can openly exchange all items in the warehouse, and there is no limit to the number of times!"

  There was a hint of coldness in Bai Lingqingquan's eyes, probably because of practicing Taiyin Suyun Xuanshui True Art, she already had a high-cold temperament at a young age.

  But she often came to the warehouse, knowing that the old man was a monk of the same generation as the patriarch, so she kept restraint in her words.

  The old man was also expected to establish a foundation, but he encountered a second-level monster during a hunt for a monster in the depths of the Black Mountain. Most of the companions were killed, and the old man managed to escape, but his meridians were ruptured, and he could not improve his cultivation in this life.

   Since then, he has been guarding the mine veins for the Bai family, and he has worked hard. He returned to the clan land last year because of his old age.

   "It's not that I don't change it for you, but that you are late!"

  The old man shook his head, his cloudy eyes revealed a gleam of light.

  "Someone took away ten bottles of Qi Buqi pills in one go, and there are only two scattered in the warehouse. If there are more, we can only wait for the caravan to come back from Fangshi next month to restock."

  "Old man, are you trying to frame me! How can anyone exchange ten bottles at a time, even if they can really save so many family contributions, how can they still use Qi Buqi pills!"

  Bai Wei couldn't hold his breath, and shouted.

  "Little brother, don't be rude. Ten bottles of Qi Buqi pills...Grandpa Mo, the person who exchanged it is Bai Zichen?"

  Bai Ling reprimanded Bai Wei first, thought for a while, and thought of a person whom he hadn't heard from for a long time.

  It seems that he is the only monk in the clan who has made enough contributions and has sufficient demand for Qi Buqi pills.

  The old man ignored him, unfolded the bamboo chair, lay down on it, and covered his face with the scroll.

"Sister, that kid Bai Zichen changed so many qi pills all at once. Could it be that he wants to catch up? But judging from his cultivation speed in the past few years, it is obvious that he has overdrawn his potential ahead of time. Maybe he will be killed in two more years." I'm on the same level as Xiu!"

  Bai Wei has never had a good sense of Bai Zichen, and now that he has been preemptively exchanged for the Buqi Pill, the disgust in his heart has risen again.

   How much of this disgust is because of Bai Ling, and how much is because of the resentment caused by the feeling that his opportunity was taken away by Bai Zichen back then, only Bai Wei himself knows.

  A pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on Bai Ling's shoulder. After feeding a few grains of spiritual rice, she untied a note from the pigeon's feet.

   "Sister, what's wrong?"

   "Master said in the letter that the patriarch Fei Jian passed on the letter, and Bai Zichen and I will be the family's spirit guides this year."

  The two things collided together, and they were both related to Bai Zichen, which caused a ripple in Bai Ling's calm heart.

   That was a bit blurry, but the figure of the young boy who overwhelmed the sect and the young disciples of the major families in the Five Sacred Mountains Temple seemed to be vivid and clear again.
