Han Changshuo won the fifth place in the Tiandan Conference. Since then, his network has expanded a lot and he has met many young talents, including several independent cultivators, Wei Feng being one of them.
Han Changshuo was able to get to know Wei Feng through the introduction of Wei Feng’s wife Li Yueru.
Wei Feng is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, with more than a dozen cultivators under him. He has been hunting monsters all year round. By chance, he found a second-grade top-quality Snow Cloud Python on a deserted island. Han Changshuo asked Wei Feng about the whereabouts of the second-grade top-quality Snow Cloud Python and was willing to pay a high price to buy it. Only then did Wei Feng sell the news to Han Changshuo.
"A casual cultivator in the foundation-building stage? Can he be trusted?"
Han Daojing frowned, his eyes filled with a hint of suspicion. Now is a turbulent time, and there are rumors of evil cultivators everywhere. Who knows if someone has set up a trap to deal with the Han family cultivators
"I'm not sure, but Wei Feng has a good reputation. The cultivators who hunt monsters with him all say that he is fair."
Han Changshuo said somewhat uncertainly.
Han Daojing pondered for a moment, then said, "Chang Shuo, please invite him over and let's talk to him. As long as he doesn't cheat us, it's okay for us to give him a little more money and property."
"Okay, I'll contact him right away."
Han Changshuo took out a palm-sized blue shell, cast a spell, and said, "Senior Wei, I want to talk to you about that matter. I am in Jinyue Tower."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Not long after, Wei Feng appeared in front of Han Changming and others.
Wei Feng is tall, with strong features and somewhat dark skin.
He saw Han Changming and the other four foundation-building cultivators, and showed no sign of surprise. He cupped his hands and said:
"My name is Wei Feng, nice to meet the four Han Daoists."
"Fellow Daoist Wei, let's be frank. We are very interested in that second-grade, top-grade Snow Cloud Python. However, you are also aware of the current situation. For the sake of caution, you should go with us. If it is really a second-grade, top-grade Snow Cloud Python, we will give you 500 spirit stones. How about that?"
The Snow Cloud Python is an ice-type monster. Its body is full of treasures worth more than four thousand spirit stones. Wei Feng got five hundred spirit stones just by talking, which is already a lot.
Han Daojing was on guard against Wei Feng. If anything unusual happened at that time, they would definitely not be polite and would kill Wei Feng immediately.
Wei Feng frowned slightly. To be honest, he had long known that the Han family's foundation-building cultivators would be on guard against him. This was normal. The world was in chaos and only spirit stones could make a sound. If it weren't for spirit stones, no one would want to risk their lives to hunt monsters.
Even if he sold the information to other forces, other forces would still ask Wei Feng to take them there. Nowadays, there is only a thin line of difference between a casual cultivator and an evil cultivator. There are many examples of evil cultivators falsely selling information and harming cultivators. One must always be on guard against others.
"Okay, but I have a condition. After the matter is completed, I have two sets of damaged second-level low-grade formations. I hope that Fellow Daoist Han can help repair the formation flags. I hope you can give me a better price."
Wei Feng had a reason to tell Han Changshuo the news. A set of second-grade inferior formations cost at least seven or eight thousand spirit stones, which ordinary cultivators simply could not afford. Wei Feng pooled a large amount of spirit stones with several other cultivators and bought two sets of second-grade formations. Not long ago, they encountered a second-grade superior demon bird, causing heavy casualties and even damaging the formation flag.
The Han family started out as a weapon refiner, so repairing the formation flags should not be a problem. Besides that, Wei Feng hopes to establish a good relationship with the Han family, as it might be useful in the future.
Han Changming is very powerful and was famous in the Red Algae Sea during the Qi Refining period. Han Changshuo participated in the Tiandan Conference and won fifth place. The Han family has great potential.
Han Daojing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
"Also, I can swear by my inner demon that I will not collude with the evil cultivators to harm you. You should also swear by your inner demon that you will not have any evil thoughts towards me. You should be on guard against me, but I will also keep some tricks in mind."
Han Daojing was worried that Wei Feng would collude with the evil cultivators, and Wei Feng was also worried that Han Daojing and his men would kill him halfway! Which of those immortal cultivation families and sects had not done dirty things? It was just that others didn't know about it.
Han Daojing and the other three looked at each other and nodded to each other.
The inner demon swore an oath, which was a common contract method used by low-level cultivators. The inner demon had a stronger restraining power on low-level cultivators. Who had not fantasized about advancing to the Jindan stage
They swore to each other by their inner demons, and only then was Wei Feng willing to lead the way.
Of course, Wei Feng had a trick up his sleeve. Before leaving the market town, he had already said goodbye to his companions. If he couldn't come back, he would most likely have been harmed by the Han family.
After leaving the market town, Wei Feng summoned a blue flying boat and flew high into the sky. Han Daojing summoned a flying magic weapon and followed with a dozen clansmen on board.
Along the way, they met many cultivators. There were almost no lone rangers, and the cultivators all moved in groups.
Judging from the wary looks on their faces, the cultivators in the Qingli Sea had also heard the news.
More than two months later, Han Changming and his team arrived at their destination - an oval-shaped island.
There are a small number of coconut trees growing on the island. There is a continuous mountain range to the northwest, and the rest of the island is relatively flat.
Wei Feng landed in a dense black forest. Han Daojing did not land, but released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the island. After confirming that there was no problem, he controlled the flying magic weapon to land.
Han Changming and Han Deling walked out quickly and followed Wei Feng, their faces full of vigilance.
"Don't worry! There's no ambush here. In fact, I was able to find the Snow Cloud Python thanks to the second-grade top-quality Red Fire Crow."
Wei Feng put away his flying magic weapon and strode towards the dense forest.
Han Changming and Han Deling hurriedly followed, releasing their spiritual sense at the same time, paying close attention to everything around them to avoid being attacked.
After a cup of tea, they walked out of the dense forest to avoid being blocked by the steep stone wall. Below the stone wall was a bush more than one person tall, covering an area of several hundred feet.
If you look closely, you can vaguely see a long crack at the edge of the bushes, close to the ground. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
Wei Feng used a green flying knife to cut off all the bushes. Then everyone could see more clearly. The crack was more than ten feet long and only two feet wide. They could only crawl in.
"Friend Wei, what's going on here?"
Han Changming asked with a frown. He had just opened his spiritual sense and probed into the crack when he felt a biting chill.
"There is an underground cave inside. You can only crawl in. After walking a hundred feet, you can stand up and walk. There are some ice-attributed spiritual medicines inside. There is a second-grade upper-grade Snow Cloud Python guarding it. I tried to lure the Snow Cloud Python away, but for some reason, the Snow Cloud Python was unwilling to leave. If we hadn't run fast, we would have almost been unable to leave."
At the end, Wei Feng showed an expression of lingering fear on his face.
Han Daojing gave a wink, and three tribesmen in the Qi Refining Stage quickly stepped forward and crawled in along the crack.
Not long after, their voices came from inside: "Uncle Daojing, it's very safe in here, and we haven't found anything unusual for the time being."
Wei Feng gave a bitter smile. Han Daojing was really cautious. It was no wonder. If the Han family's foundation-building cultivators were not cautious enough, the Han family would have been destroyed long ago.
He cast a defensive spell on himself and crawled in. Han Changming and Han Deling looked at each other and followed him in.
The three Qi Refining Stage tribesmen who entered first had already taken out the moonstones to illuminate the cave.
The cave was several hundred feet wide. The ground was wet and there was a large pool of water on the top, with water dripping from it. On the left side of the cave, there was a cave entrance about a foot wide with a long passage inside. A biting chill drifted out from inside.
Han Changming released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the entire cave, but found nothing unusual.
"Uncle Daojing, there is no problem at the moment, you can come in."
Han Deling said loudly, and she stood next to Wei Feng to prevent Wei Feng from playing any tricks.
Not long after, Han Daojing, Han Changwu and the rest of the tribesmen crawled in one after another.
"The Snow Cloud Python is inside. Don't say I didn't remind you. It's a second-level upper-grade monster. It's not that easy to deal with."
Wei Feng's face was solemn as he pointed at the long passage and said.
Han Daojing nodded and ordered, "Changming, Deling, you and Fellow Daoist Wei, be on guard. Let's set up the formation first. The second-level upper-grade monster beast has not yet awakened its spiritual intelligence, and it only relies on brute force. Set up a few more second-level formations to consume its monster power as much as possible, and then deal with it together."
He was carrying two second-grade top-grade Purple Flame Talismans and a second-grade top-grade puppet beast. If he arranged a few more second-grade formations, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to kill the Snow Cloud Python.
Han Deling and Han Changming monitored Wei Feng to prevent him from doing anything wrong, while Han Daojing directed the tribesmen to set up the formation.
They spent most of the day setting up three sets of second-level formations.
The second-grade top-grade formation is the Lihuo Formation, which is an attack formation. The Snow Cloud Python is an ice-type monster, so you can use a fire-type formation to weaken its defense first and consume its demonic power at the same time.
The second-grade top-grade Four Symbols Demon-Locking Formation is a formation that traps the enemy. Even if the Snow Cloud Python is a second-grade top-grade demon beast, once it is trapped by the Four Symbols Demon-Locking Formation, it will still be difficult to escape.
The second-level medium-grade Five Elements Maze Formation is a psychedelic formation that can maximize the consumption of the Snow Cloud Python's demonic power.
The formation was set up to lure out the monsters.
Among Han Daojing, Han Deling, Han Changwu and Han Changming, only Han Changming practiced a fire-related technique, while Han Daojing and the other two practiced water-related techniques. It would be quite difficult for them to lure the Snow Cloud Python out.
Han Changming was also wearing spiritual boots and moved very quickly.
In this case, Han Changming could only lure the monster.
"Changming, be careful. Safety comes first."
Han Daojing warned with a serious expression.
"Yes! Changming, be careful. If it doesn't work, retreat first."
Han Deling nodded and said with concern.
"Okay, I understand."
Han Changming agreed and walked towards the passage.
In his hand he held a thick stack of continuous-cast fireball talismans, his face full of vigilance.
As soon as he walked into the passage, a biting chill hit him in the face. Even though he was covered with two defensive spiritual shields, he could still feel the biting chill.
Han Changming was very careful, holding his breath and walking forward cautiously.
After walking more than a hundred steps, a cave over a hundred feet in size appeared in front of him.
There is a large white icicle on the top of the cave, hanging upside down. There is a thick layer of ice on the stone wall of the cave. In the lower right corner of the cave, there are more than a dozen flowers about a foot high. The buds of the flowers are white and the flower stems are black.
“This is Xueyinhua!”
Han Changming was slightly stunned, with a hint of heat in his eyes.
Snow Yin Flower is a yin-attributed spiritual medicine that grows in a cold environment. This spiritual medicine has a yin and cold poison and is usually used to refine detoxifying pills. It is very effective in curing fire poison.
Han Changming released his spiritual sense and did not find the Snow Cloud Python.
He frowned, swung his right hand, and the fireball talisman in his hand flew out immediately, turning into dozens of red fireballs and smashing on the ground.
Boom!
A huge roar was heard, flames billowed, and the scorching heat melted the ice a little. A large cloud of white mist then appeared, covering most of the cave.
Han Changming sensed with his spiritual sense that something was rushing towards him. He did not dare to delay. The spiritual boots on his feet glowed brightly and he quickly retreated.
With a "chi chi" sound of breaking through the air, dozens of white ice arrows about feet long flew out and hit Han Changming with great momentum.
At the same time, a large amount of white cold air rushed out.
Han Changming pinched his fingers and a dazzling red-yellow light appeared on his body. A piece of red-yellow armor suddenly appeared on his body, the Qianyang Armor.
Dozens of white ice arrows hit Qianyang's armor one after another, leaving only a shallow white mark. However, the chillness attached to the ice arrows made Han Changming shiver and his body became a little stiff.
He was secretly surprised. It was indeed a top-grade second-level monster. Its strength was far beyond that of ordinary second-level monsters.
A large area of red-yellow flame appeared on his body, and the chill disappeared.
The next moment, the spiritual boots on his feet glowed brightly and he ran outside quickly. Seeing Han Changming rushing out, Han Daojing and others became alert and prepared to take action against the Snow Cloud Python.
After a long time, the Snow Cloud Python still didn't come out.
Wei Feng chuckled and said, "I've said it before, this method is useless. We lit the demon-luring incense, but the Snow Cloud Python didn't come out. The Snow Yin Flowers in the cave are more than 200 years old. They are a great tonic for it, so it won't leave the cave easily."
If he could easily lure the Snow Cloud Python away, he would have picked the elixir long ago.
"Why don't we find a way to attack it and hurt it, then it should come out."
Han Changwu suggested.
Han Daojing looked at Han Changming and asked, "Changming, tell me what you saw."
Han Changming told the truth without hiding anything.
"It seems that this Snow Cloud Python has lived here for a long time. It has the upper hand in the fight in the cave. It is quite difficult to injure it."
Han Changming turned his eyes and said, "Uncle Daojing, let me try again! Maybe I can lure it out."
"You better be careful. Don't force it."
Han Daojing warned with a serious expression.
Han Changming nodded and walked into the passage again.
Not long after, he appeared at the entrance of the cave. He still couldn't find any trace of the Snow Cloud Python. It was probably hiding in some corner.
The cave is so cold that it is convenient for it to hide.
