After returning to his residence, Han Changming packed up simply.
In fact, there is nothing much to bring. Just bring some spare clothes. Tools for making talismans are a must, as well as spirit gathering stones.
After a simple tidying up, Han Changming flew to Han Changxin's residence.
"Fifteenth sister, I have to go to Kuixing Market. I'll trouble you to take care of the seven-leaf clover while I'm away. When it's ripe, you can pick it for me and give it to the family in exchange for blank talisman paper. Then sow the seeds and continue to plant the seven-leaf clover. These one hundred spirit stones are your advance payment. I don't know when I can come back."
Han Changming took out a hundred spirit stones and handed them to Han Changxin.
Han Changxin helped Han Changming take care of several acres of clover. His monthly salary was two spirit stones, which was twenty-four spirit stones a year, and one hundred spirit stones was the cost for four years.
"Brother Jiu, when you are away from home, you will need a lot of spirit stones. I am not in a hurry to use them, so you can keep them first! You can give them to me when you come back." Han Changxin said considerately.
Han Changming shook his head and said seriously, "No, it's not easy for you to take care of a few acres of seven-leaf clover. It will rain every few days, which will affect your practice. Fifteenth sister, don't be polite to me. I am now a first-level low-grade talisman maker. I have a lot of spirit stones on me. I earn more than two spirit stones every month. If you don't accept it, I dare not ask you to take care of the seven-leaf clover."
Unable to resist Han Changming, Han Changxin accepted the spirit stone.
"Brother Jiu, I made some cakes with spiritual grains. You can take them with you on the road. I heard that Kuixing Market is very prosperous. Please buy me some seeds of spiritual plants and herbs. Price is not a problem."
Han Changming was not surprised that Han Changxin was obsessed with the art of planting, and he patted his chest and agreed.
Three days later, Han Changming arrived at the General Affairs Hall early, and Han Zhangkang introduced the situation of Kuixing Market to Han Changming.
There are four major forces in the Red Algae Sea, namely Tinghai Pavilion, Black Crow Island, Qingyun Sect, and Taixu Sect. Each force has a Jindan stage cultivator in charge and is full of masters.
The Han family is a subsidiary force of the Tinghai Pavilion, and several clansmen are worshippers in the Tinghai Pavilion. However, none of the clansmen who have worshipped in the Tinghai Pavilion have established a foundation and therefore have little influence.
There are five markets in the Red Algae Sea, and Kuixing Market is the market opened by Tinghai Pavilion. The Han family rented three shops in Kuixing Market, a weapons shop, a spiritual valley shop, and a talisman shop. The weapons shop made the most money.
This is not surprising. The Han family started out by refining weapons. There are as many as nine weapon refiners in the Han family, and Han Zhangxiang is a second-rank top-grade weapon refiner.
The predecessor of the talisman shop was a raw material purchasing store, but the Han family did not have enough financial resources, and not many cultivators were willing to sell monster materials to the Han family. Due to serious losses, it has been changed into a talisman shop. Currently, there are two talisman makers in Kuixing Market, and together with Han Changming, it is enough to support the store.
"Changming, you must remember, when you arrive at Kuixing Market, if you don't understand something, just ask your uncle. Never leave the market without permission. Your safety can be guaranteed in the market, but it may not be guaranteed outside the market." Han Zhangkang warned earnestly.
"Grandson has made note of this, great uncle. I will definitely not run around."
Han Zhangkang nodded and continued to remind him: "Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Some evil cultivators deliberately create treasure maps to gain wealth and kill people. You must be careful and don't be blinded by greed. There are treasure maps in the world, but they may not fall into your hands by chance."
Han Changming nodded continuously. He could hear the concern in Han Zhangkang's voice.
After a while, Han Deling brought ten clansmen to the General Affairs Hall, and Han Changming greeted them one by one.
"Changming, this is your first time traveling far away. Kuixing Market is not like Hongxia Island. You must not leave the market without permission, understand?" Han Deling warned with some concern.
Han Changming smiled bitterly in his heart and agreed.
Han Deling released a yellow gourd, which instantly grew larger, and everyone jumped on it one after another.
The Han family planted a large number of gourd vines. Gourd magic tools are the symbol of the Han family, and flying magic tools are mostly gourds. Han Deling's flying magic tool is a second-level lower-grade flying magic tool. It costs hundreds of spirit stones on the market, and its flying speed is much faster than the Qingfeng Gourd in Han Changming's hand.
"Walk."
Han Deling gave a light shout and cast a spell on the yellow gourd. A soft yellow light curtain appeared out of thin air and enveloped Han Deling and the others.
The yellow gourd turned into a yellow light, flew out of Huludao and disappeared into the sky.
······
Three months later, over a vast sea, a huge yellow gourd was flying high in the sky.
Han Changming sat on the yellow gourd and looked around.
Speaking of which, it was his first time to travel far away. His previous stay at Hongxia Island was not considered a long journey, after all, Hongxia Island was only a dozen days away from Huludao.
On the way here, his uncle introduced some precautions to Han Changming, which gave him a deeper understanding of the outside world.
When escorting goods, one needs to be on guard against demon beasts and other immortal cultivators, especially groups of demon birds. Their individual strength is not strong, but they appear in groups and often attack immortal cultivators. If you are unlucky, it is possible to encounter a third-level demon bird.
A strange cry came from the sky, and a dozen black spots appeared in the sky.
"Oh no, it's a demon bird! Be careful." Han Deling's face changed drastically when she saw the black spot in the sky.
Han Changming looked a little nervous when he saw a dozen black spots in the sky.
He didn't expect that he would encounter the most difficult monster bird on his first long journey. His luck was too bad!
Under Han Changming's nervous gaze, more than a dozen black spots swooped down from the sky, targeting them.
Han Deling held up a flag that glowed with white light. It instantly grew larger, and a trace of cold air surged out from the flag.
She slapped the spirit beast bag on her waist, and a giant green eagle flew out.
Others took out their magical weapons and talismans, ready to meet the enemy.
Han Changming held ten fireball talismans in his hand and looked very nervous. The demon birds were different from the evil cultivators. The demon birds had thick skin and flesh, and would fly high if they were not hit. With their flexible bodies, it was still difficult for cultivators to kill the demon birds.
At this time, Han Changming also saw clearly the appearance of the evil bird that attacked them.
This is a crow that is completely black. There is not much hair on its head, so it looks bald, and its beak is dry and shriveled, making it look extremely ugly.
Before the black crow swooped down in front of him, it flapped its wings fiercely, releasing a large black wind blade.
Han Deling was prepared. She gently waved the white flag in her hand, and a large amount of white cold air flew out, turning into a thick white ice shield that blocked in front of her.
Boom!
With just one encounter, the demon bird shattered the white ice shield.
"Go ahead, don't hold back."
Han Deling gave an order and threw out two green flying knives, slashing at the monster bird.
