After the Nine-Roar Beast advances to the fifth level, the cost of raising it will definitely be higher, but it is currently only a lower-grade fourth level, so there is no need to consider this for the time being.
This is not to say that the Nine-Roar Beast is useless. It is good at finding metal veins.
There are not many spiritual insects and beasts that can find metal veins, and the Nine-Roar Beast can be said to be the best among them.
Its current level is too low, so Han Yuanhu will naturally not take the Nine-Roar Beast around. When its level increases, Han Yuanhu will take it to look for metal veins.
Han Fangyuan was about to say something, but he seemed to have sensed something. He took out a pale golden communication disk from his arms and typed in a spell. A respectful male voice sounded, "Master, the Seven Flames Master from the Mars Seven Flames Sect is here to visit."
"Master Qiyan?"
Han Fangyuan was slightly stunned.
Han Changming had received True Man Jinyang and Fairy Bingyan from the Seven Flames Sect. The cultivator with the highest level of cultivation in the Seven Flames Sect would be given the Taoist title of Master Seven Flames, which was a kind of identity.
"Did he come alone? Or was there anyone else?"
Han Fangyuan asked.
"True Man Jin Yang and Fairy Bing Yan are here too, as well as more than ten Divine Transformation cultivators."
A respectful male voice came from the communication panel.
"Please let them in! Take them to the reception room. I will be there soon."
Han Fangyuan ordered.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Putting away the communication disk, Han Fangyuan ordered: "Yuan Hu, you take good care of the Nine Roar Beast and never let it out to show others, understand?"
A man is innocent but is guilty of possessing a treasure. If the news that the Han family has a Nine-Roar Beast spreads, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Yuanhu knew the seriousness of the problem and agreed without hesitation.
Han Fangyuan left this place and came to the reception room.
Not long after, a tall and thin old man in a red robe walked in, followed by True Man Jin Yang and Fairy Bing Yan.
The old man in red robe had thin cheeks and ruddy complexion, and his every move exuded the aura of a superior.
Master Qi Yan, has achieved great perfection in refining the void.
He was traveling outside and his soul was damaged. If Han Changming had not refined the top-grade Heavenly Soul Pill to heal his wounds, Master Qi Yan would have been in danger of losing his life, not to mention his cultivation.
The reason he came this time was, firstly, to thank Han Changming, and secondly, to make friends with Han Changming. Friendships can only be deep if you have frequent interactions.
Don't visit others when there is nothing to do, and ask for help when something happens. Others may not help you.
Han Fangyuan quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "I didn't know you three elders were so honored to come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
"My dear Han, you are too polite. I cannot say that I am here to honor you. Please inform me that I want to meet with you and discuss something with you."
Master Qi Yan said with a smile.
"Three seniors, please wait for a moment. I will notify Patriarch Changming immediately."
Han Fangyuan agreed and stood up to leave. At this time, a member of the Han family came in with three cups of steaming spiritual tea, put down the tea and left.
Master Qi Yan sat on the chair and waited quietly.
A loud thunder sounded, a strong wind blew, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became chaotic.
"Someone is trying to reach the Void Refining Stage!"
Master Qi Yan was very experienced and recognized at once that someone was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
It seems that the Han family will have another Void Refining cultivator.
They looked at each other and nodded.
In time, the Han family will surely rise, and Han Changming may even be able to advance to the fusion stage. By that time, it will be even more difficult for them to make friends with Han Changming.
It is relatively easy to get closer to Han Changming now. This is also the reason why Master Qi Yan came here immediately after his injury healed.
Qianyang Peak, on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded manor.
Han Fangyuan was reporting to Han Changming. If the three Void Refining cultivators had not come to his house, he would not have disturbed Han Changming's practice.
He was reporting! Deafening thunder roared from the sky, and strong winds howled past.
Han Changming narrowed his eyes and looked up into the sky, where he saw a huge thundercloud.
"The clan leader is trying to reach the Void Refining Stage. You go and handle this matter. Don't let anyone interfere with the clan leader's attempt to reach the Void Refining Stage."
Han Changming ordered.
Fortunately, the three Master Qi Yan were here as guests. If they were here to cause trouble, Han Zhangxiang’s efforts to reach the Nascent Soul stage would definitely be affected.
"Yes, Ancestor Changming."
Han Fangyuan did not dare to delay and hurried to deal with the matter.
Han Changming lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, and turned into a long yellow rainbow that broke through the air.
Not long after, he flew into the reception room.
"Friend Fang, Fairy Liu, long time no see."
Han Changming greeted him with a smile, his eyes fell on Master Qi Yan, and he said with a smile: "This must be Brother Xie! I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I finally see you in person."
"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you for your compliment. If it weren't for your help last time, I'm afraid my life would be in danger. This time, I came here to thank you."
As Master Qi Yan spoke, he took out a round bead that was shining with spiritual light and handed it to Han Changming.
The surface of the bead was covered with mysterious runes, and a ball of three-colored flame could be vaguely seen, emitting a violent fluctuation of fire spiritual energy. It was obviously a magical treasure that could reach the sky.
"This is the Three Flame Pearl ranked 1,020th on the Star Domain Divine Weapon Ranking. It is too valuable."
Han Changming declined politely.
This Three Flame Bead is ranked relatively low and is much stronger than the ordinary Tongtian Lingbao. However, Han Changming has three treasures on his body that are listed on the Star Domain Divine Weapon List, which are ranked much higher than the Three Flame Bead.
He had already been paid for helping to refine the Heavenly Soul Pill, so it would be inappropriate for him to ask for more benefits.
"Fellow Daoist Han, do you think this treasure is ranked too low? How about adding a fifth-level spiritual fire?"
Master Qi Yan flipped his right hand, and a golden porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, which he handed to Han Changming.
He was not afraid that Han Changming would not want it, but he was afraid that Han Changming would refuse.
A man who has received favors from others should be grateful. Han Changming has received benefits from him, so he can ask for the elixir in the future.
"Fifth-level spiritual fire!"
Han Changming was somewhat tempted. He could refuse a celestial magic treasure, but it was difficult for him to refuse a ball of fifth-level spiritual flame.
He already has a fifth-level spiritual flame, but Han Zhangxiang, Han Benfu and others do not have it. With their abilities, having a fifth-level spiritual flame would be beneficial to them in refining weapons and elixirs.
"Friend Han, Senior Brother Xie has come all the way here to express his gratitude, so just accept it! It's not something valuable, don't you think it's worth it?"
Master Jin Yang spoke.
"Okay! Han will accept the reward."
Han Changming thought for a moment and accepted the fifth-level spiritual flame and the three-flame bead.
The three masters Qi Yan showed joy on their faces. If Han Changming was willing to accept the things, then that would be easy.
"By the way, Brother Xie, I heard that you have great magical powers, how come your soul is injured?"
Han Changming asked casually.
Normally, outsiders shouldn't ask too much about such things, and generally they won't tell outsiders. The fact that they can ask and talk about it shows that the relationship is good.
"I encountered an evil cultivator from the Blood Sky Star Region. He had a sixth-level soul-devouring beast that mastered the soul attack. I was careless for a moment and was injured by his soul beast. Fortunately, I ran away quickly, otherwise my life would be in danger."
When Master Qi Yan finished speaking, his face was filled with murderous intent.
"Blood Sky Star Region!"
Han Changming's face darkened. He had heard from many Void-Refining cultivators that the cultivators in the Blood Sky Star Region were proficient in the magical powers of blood and often sacrificed large numbers of lives to refine treasures or practice martial arts, which was rejected by the majority of cultivators.
They started chatting, exchanging their cultivation experiences, and exchanged many polite words.
"By the way, eight hundred years from now, there will be a Lihuo Conference on Mars, and many weapon refiners will participate. If you are lucky, a sixth-level spiritual fire may appear. Fellow Daoist Han, you can take your people to participate."
Master Qi Yan remembered something and said.
The Lihuo Conference is the largest celebration on Mars and also an exchange meeting for weapon refiners, but its influence is not as great as that of the Tiandan Conference.
"The Fire Conference! Okay, if I have time, I will definitely bring people to participate."
Han Changming agreed.
A loud thunderclap interrupted their conversation.
There were flashes of lightning and crackling thunder, and the piercing sound of thunder rang in their ears.
Han Changming looked outside with a serious expression.
It seems that Han Zhangxiang is going through the sixty-nine thunder tribulations. After going through the sixty-nine thunder tribulations, he will be able to advance to the Void Refinement Stage. There shouldn't be any big problems. The Han family has also collected some sixth-level talismans over the years.
"It seems that it won't be long before the Han family will have three Void Refining cultivators. Fellow Daoist Han, if you hold a celebration, we will definitely come over to ask for a glass of wine."
The Ice Flame Fairy said with a smile.
"Yes! Fellow Daoist Han, please don't forget to invite us."
Master Qi Yan said with a smile.
The more you interact with each other, the deeper your feelings will be.
"If we hold a celebration, I will definitely invite you, Brother Xie."
Han Changming agreed.
After chatting for more than half a quarter of an hour, Master Qi Yan said goodbye and left without staying any longer.
After seeing off the three Master Qi Yan, Han Changming came to the top of a mountain that towered into the clouds and looked into the distance at the thunderclouds in the sky.
The thundercloud was still over a hundred feet in size, with lightning and thunder. Silver lightning struck one after another, heading straight for a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
There was a mostly collapsed manor in the valley, with earth and rocks flying everywhere, smoke and dust billowing, and grass and trees on fire.
Han Zhangxiang stood in an open space with a pale green shield floating in front of him. The shield's light was dim, and there were more than a dozen tiny cracks on its surface.
Han Zhangxiang's body was covered with a red light curtain, and on the surface of the red light curtain there was a pattern of five-colored flames. This was the sixth-level defensive talisman, the Five Flames Soul Protection Talisman.
Han Longfei bought it from an underground auction, brought it back to Wanhulin, and gave it to Han Zhangxiang to help him reach the Refining Void Stage.
Bolts of lightning struck one after another, hitting the green shield one after another, and more and more cracks appeared on the surface of the green shield.
After a while, the thunderclouds rolled violently, and electric arcs of four different colors, namely green, red, blue and green, appeared. The thunderclouds turned into four colors, and there were five thunder disasters.
"Four-color divine thunder!"
Han Zhangxiang's face darkened and his breathing became heavy.
Han Debiao's attempt to reach the Void Refining Stage attracted five five-colored divine thunders, while Han Zhangxiang attracted five four-colored divine thunders.
The four-colored thunderclouds rolled violently, and a thick four-colored lightning bolt cut through the sky and accurately struck the green shield.
The green shield shook gently, and four-colored lightning exploded, turning into four-colored lightning that covered Han Zhangxiang's figure.
Immediately afterwards, the second four-colored divine thunder appeared, and then the third, the lightning light increased greatly.
After the thundercloud rolled violently, a four-colored thunder python emerged from it, wrapped in a large amount of four-colored electric arcs, and swooped down from the sky, heading straight for Han Zhangxiang.
A sharp sound of a sword was heard, and a large amount of red sword energy swept out, heading towards the four-colored thunder python.
With a loud rumbling sound, the four-colored thunder python was chopped to pieces by the dense red sword energy. A huge ball of four-colored lightning shot up into the sky and submerged Han Zhangxiang's figure.
The ground shook violently, like an earthquake, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Not long after, Han Zhangxiang flew out from the lightning and landed in front of Han Changming in a flash.
His face was slightly pale, and he exuded a powerful spiritual pressure, and successfully advanced to the Void Refinement Stage.
"Congratulations, Patriarch."
Han Changming congratulated, his face full of smiles.
Han Zhangxiang entered the Void Refinement Stage, and the Han family now had three Void Refinement cultivators.
“Lianxu, I didn’t expect that I could reach this point. It’s not easy!”
Han Zhangxiang sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
Before coming to Zhongtian Continent, he thought it was great that he could advance to the Nascent Soul stage. It was only after arriving in Zhongtian Continent that he discovered how vast the world of cultivation was.
"Yes! It's not easy for us. The future will be better. By the way, clan leader, this ball of fifth-level spiritual flame is for you. Congratulations on your advancement to the Void Refining Stage. With the fifth-level spiritual flame, it will be much easier to refine weapons in the future."
Han Changming took out the golden jade bottle and handed it to Han Zhangxiang.
"What? Fifth-level spiritual flame?"
Han Zhangxiang took a breath and said in surprise.
"Changming, this is too valuable. Give it to Benfu or Benqi! They are alchemists and can create greater profits for the family."
Han Zhangxiang declined politely.
"Clan leader, please accept it! Our clan is in need of a sixth-rank weapon refiner. If the treasure you refine can be ranked on the Star Domain Divine Weapon Ranking, our entire clan will benefit."
Han Changming stuffed the golden jade bottle into Han Zhangxiang's hand without saying a word.
Everyone has selfish desires, and Han Changming is no exception. Han Zhangxiang is the first sixth-rank weapon refiner in the clan. If he can refine a treasure that ranks on the Star Domain Divine Weapon List, the entire Han family will benefit.
Han Benfu and Han Benqi obtained the fifth-level spiritual flame, which would definitely improve their alchemy efficiency. However, it is not so easy to refine top-quality pills.
As far as he knew, most of the alchemists carefully trained by the big forces had high-level spiritual flames, but that did not mean that having high-level spiritual flames could produce top-grade elixirs.
Although the fifth-level spiritual flame is rare, it does exist. Han Changming plans to help them find the fifth-level spiritual flame in the future.
"Okay! Then I'll accept it. I'll help them refine a good alchemy furnace in the future."
Han Zhangxiang no longer insisted and accepted it.
He really needed a fifth-level spiritual flame. As Han Changming said, he could refine a treasure that was ranked on the Star Domain Divine Weapon List, which would benefit the entire clan.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming went back to rest, and Han Zhangxiang also went to consolidate his cultivation.
······
Xuanshui Star, Xuanyan Island.
The door of a secret room opened and Han Wenlong walked out, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure and with his eyes flashing.
He practiced in seclusion for more than 400 years and successfully advanced to the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Stage. He spent a lot of time honing his magic power, and now his magic power is pure enough that he can consider breaking through to the Void Refinement Stage.
Generally speaking, it is more difficult for spiritual beings to impact a higher realm, as it will attract powerful lightning force. With sufficient resources for cultivation, spiritual beings can cultivate faster. If it were not that difficult to impact a higher realm, it would be too unfair to ordinary cultivators.
Han Wenlong plans to return to Xuanyang Star and ask Han Changming for help so that he can feel more relaxed.
He took out the communication disk, typed in a spell, and ordered: "I am going back to Xuanyang Star. Don't cause trouble and concentrate on your cultivation. Got it?"
"Yes, ancestor."
Han Xinghai's voice came from the communication panel.
Han Wenlong gave a few instructions and left the residence.
