Chiyang Star Region, Baicao Star.
In a secluded courtyard in Qiancaofang City, Han Benfu was sitting in a green stone pavilion, and Han Qixin was reporting the situation to her.
"Senior Xu is holding a birthday party and has invited our Han family to send someone to attend."
Han Qixin took out a golden invitation and handed it to Han Benfu with both hands.
Han Benfu can refine top-grade elixirs and is very popular. Many Void-Refining cultivators want to make friends with Han Benfu.
Han Benfu took the invitation, nodded, and said, "Since I have nothing to do, I'll lead the team!"
She gave a few instructions and left Qiancaofang City with a group of tribesmen.
After leaving Qiangusafang City, Han Benfu summoned a flying boat with flashing red light and carried them high into the sky.
Seven days later, a red flying boat appeared above an endless grassland, and Han Benfu stood at the front of the red flying boat.
"According to our current speed, we will be able to reach the market in less than three days, and then we can just teleport there."
A tall young man in a golden shirt said with a smile.
Han Qixin, late stage of transformation.
Han Benfu nodded, made a gesture, and the red flying boat suddenly emitted a bright red light, increasing its speed.
A shrill ghost cry came from the front. Han Benfu was startled and she pinched some magic formula, and the red flying boat stopped.
"Be careful and alert!"
Han Benfu instructed that the Han family had few enemies, but that didn’t mean they had no enemies.
Many times you offend others unintentionally, and they already hold a grudge against you without you even realizing it.
A huge red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, accompanied by a shrill ghost cry.
A green light flew from a distance at a very fast speed.
Not long after, the green light stopped, and it turned out to be a pale old man in a green robe, with a lot of brown bloodstains on his body.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Song."
Han Benfu let out a light exclamation and recognized the identity of the old man in green robe.
The old man in green robe came from an immortal sect called Qingxuan Sect. His name was Song Sen. They had met at a party.
"Fairy Han, I have encountered an evil cultivator. Please help me."
Song Sen spoke, his tone weak and he looked very frail.
"Evil cultivator!"
Han Benfu frowned.
Two black lights flew from a distance, and after a few flashes, they stopped in the sky. The black lights turned out to be two huge skulls wrapped in black air. A tall old man in a black robe and a young woman in a green dress with gorgeous features stood on the skulls. There was a black swallow pattern on their clothes.
"We are not evil cultivators. This is a matter between our Zhou family and Fellow Daoist Song. Fairy Han, please do not interfere."
The old man in black robe spoke.
"The Zhou family of Black Swallow Mountain!"
Han Benfu's face darkened as she recognized the other person's identity.
The Zhou family has a long heritage and has more than ten void-refining cultivators. Their ancestors came from the Tiangui Palace, which is one of the top ten forces in the Chiyang Star Domain and is good at exorcising ghosts and demons.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, Fairy Han. I accidentally found a box of star sand. They want to kill people to silence them. As long as Fairy Han helps, I am willing to give you the star sand."
Song Sen spoke, raised his right hand, and an exquisite green jade box flew out and flew towards Han Benfu.
The old man in black robe looked cold, and he reached out his right hand towards the void. A ghost claw flashing with black light appeared out of thin air and went straight to the green jade box.
At this moment, a big red hand appeared out of nowhere, blocked the black ghost claw, and took the green jade box back into Han Benfu's hand.
"Fairy Han, this is something he stole from us. It's against the rules for you to do this!"
The old man in black robe had a murderous look on his face.
Everyone has a backer. Others are afraid of the Han family, but not the Zhou family.
"Bullshit, that's what I got, how did it become yours?"
Song Sen retorted.
Han Benfu pretended not to hear anything and opened the jade box. She saw that it was indeed star sand inside. This was the material for refining star ships and starships and its value was inestimable.
A cold light flashed in the black-robed old man's eyes, and just as he was about to take action, a golden light appeared in the distant sky at a very fast speed.
Han Benfu quickly put away the star sand, her face full of vigilance.
Not long after, the escaping light stopped, revealing a scroll glittering with golden light. A young woman in a golden skirt with gorgeous features and a fat old man in a yellow robe stood on it. They were actually cultivators of the Lianxu realm.
"Fairy Han, what a coincidence!"
The young woman in the golden skirt saw Han Benfu and said with a smile.
"Mrs. Liu, what a coincidence!"
Han Benfu greeted with a smile and felt relieved. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
When the old man in black robe saw that it was someone Han Benfu knew, his expression turned ugly.
"Fairy Han, do you really want to go against our Zhou family? Return the things to us, and we will forgive you. Brother Song can also be handed over to you."
The old man in black robe said with some reluctance.
"No way!"
Han Benfu refused to give in at all. You must be kidding. They were all Void Refining cultivators. Why should she give in
"Okay, remember what you said today."
After saying this, the old man in black robe left with his companions.
Song Sen breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.
"Fellow Daoist Song, let us give you a ride!"
Han Benfu said enthusiastically. Since she got a box of star sand for free, her attitude was naturally very good.
She also wanted to know the origin of star sand. It was incredible that Song Sen could get a box of star sand.
The Han family has been collecting materials such as cinnabar sand over the years, but has never been able to achieve their goal.
"Then I'll trouble Fairy Han."
Song Sen agreed. He was very weak now, so it would be better for him to follow Han Benfu.
Song Sen flew onto the red flying boat. Han Benfu pinched her fingers and the red flying boat flew high into the sky and disappeared.

Xuanshui Star, Xuanshui Palace.
In a secluded manor, Lin Yujiao and Shen Miao were sitting in a green stone pavilion, talking about something.
After Shen Miao escaped from the secret realm, he immediately fled back to Xuanshui Palace. Not long after he came back, Lin Yujiao also rushed back.
"In that case, Junior Brother Song's death has nothing to do with the Han family."
Lin Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief. If Shen Miao hadn't said it himself, she wouldn't have believed it.
If Shen Miao also died, Lin Yujiao would definitely suspect that it was the Han family who destroyed them.
"That's right. The seventh-level monster is too scary. With the existence of the seventh-level monster, we dare not wander around. We don't know what good things are in the secret realm. Now Han Debiao has obtained the key to enter and exit the secret realm, and he has sent people to guard the secret realm. If we want to go in and search for treasures, we have to go through the Han family."
Shen Miao said with some regret that a secret realm is of great value, especially one that has not been opened for many years.
Due to the existence of the seventh-level monster, they were unable to explore many places and had no idea how many immortal cultivation resources there were in the secret realm.
"I can only say that we are unlucky. However, you actually encountered a body of voice. This is rare. I remember that there is no such person in the Chiyang Star Region. He should be from another star region."
Lin Yujiao analyzed.
"Palace Master, did you obtain the top-grade Kailing Pill?"
Shen Miao remembered something and asked.
Lin Yujiao shook her head and said, "The competition is too fierce. The combined old monster was sold out, and I won a top-grade Kailing Pill. I hope the spirit beast can transform!"
Top-grade spiritual elixirs can also help spiritual beasts awaken their intelligence and transform, but the effect is not as good as top-grade spiritual elixirs, and it is better than nothing.
"Okay, concentrate on your cultivation first. This treasure hunt in the secret realm is not in vain. At least you got some resources for cultivation."
Lin Yujiao warned.
Shen Miao agreed, got up and left.
······
Xuanyin Star, where the yin energy is heavy and where many yin-attributed spiritual medicines and herbs grow, is particularly suitable for cultivating ghosts.
The Black Swallow Mountains are located in the southeast of Xuanyin Star, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles. This is the ancestral land of the Zhou family.
Deep in the Black Swallow Mountains, there were constant sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, gusts of cold wind, and some people could even see ghosts.
In a secret room, a large number of mysterious runes were engraved on the stone walls. An old woman in a black robe with a ruddy face was sitting cross-legged on a black cushion with a gloomy look in her eyes and a black star-moon plate in her hand.
"What? Was it stolen by the Han family? Where's the map? Could it be that the map was also stolen?"
The old woman in black robe frowned and said.
"No, the map is in our hands, but Song Sen stole the star sand and gave it to the Han family."
A somewhat deep male voice came from the Star-Moon Plate.
"When a combined cultivator appears in our family, what will the Han family do? Send someone to spread the news and say that the Han family has obtained the cinnabar sand. As for whether others believe it or not, that is not our concern. Send someone to find the place recorded on the map. I hope the record in the classics is correct."
The old woman in black robe ordered.
"Yes, ancestor."
The man agreed.
Putting away the Star-Moon Plate, the old woman in black robe had a gloomy expression.
She is Zhou Yuyan, the Zhou family's most powerful cultivator, who is in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm and raises a ghost creature in the Refinement Void Realm.
The ancestors of the Zhou family came from the Tiangui Palace and have always been a subordinate immortal cultivation family of the Tiangui Palace, serving the Tiangui Palace.
"Han family, humph! I will settle this account with you after I advance to the fusion stage."
Zhou Yuyan snorted coldly and muttered to herself.
The Zhou family discovered a note left by a fusion monk and accidentally found the cave where he passed away. Song Sen was also nearby and stole some things. Fortunately, a treasure map was not stolen, which was a blessing in disguise.
Zhou Yuyan raised her right hand, and a shrill ghost cry sounded. A fierce ghost with a green face and fangs flew out and landed in front of her.
The evil ghost made a "woooo" sound from its mouth and its body trembled slightly.
"There's no point in being afraid. We have to go through the great calamity anyway."
Zhou Yuyan said to herself that all creatures above the Nascent Soul stage must go through a great heavenly tribulation, and ghosts are no exception.
She stood up and walked out, followed by the ghost.
······
Xuanyang Star, the forest of ten thousand gourds.
In a quiet manor, Han Debiao, Liang Youshan, Han Longyan and Han Zhangxiang were sitting in a green stone pavilion, talking about something.
Han Zhangxiang was originally in seclusion for cultivation. Han Debiao got a piece of Yuanci divine crystal and brought it back for Han Zhangxiang to check.
"We can work together to refine a Yuanci treasure, but I wonder if it can make it onto the Star Domain Divine Weapon Ranking."
Han Zhangxiang said with a smile.
"It should be possible. Magnetite is not an ordinary seventh-level material. If we can control that magnetite vein, we will become rich."
Han Longyan analyzed.
"Chang Ming and his men haven't returned yet. How about this? Send the Void Refining cultivators in to search for resources for cultivation, and have Fang Xue set up a formation to protect the secret realm and prevent outsiders from sneaking in."
Han Zhangxiang expressed his views.
The most urgent task now is to search the immortal cultivation resources in the secret realm, especially the magnetic ore vein. Ordinary cultivators cannot enter to mine the magnetic stone.
Han Zhangxiang can refine a Yuanci treasure and give it to his tribesmen for use. With the Yuanci treasure in hand, ordinary tribesmen can also enter and exit the mine freely.
Han Debiao nodded and said, "That's what I mean. We need to move fast. By the way, what realm is the Nine Roar Beast at? Let's take it with us! We can let it gnaw on the metal veins inside. It will be good for its advancement and can also help reduce our burden."
"It has advanced to the Void Refining Stage. Mining the Elemental Magnetic Stone can allow it to contribute."
Han Zhangxiang said truthfully.
"Great, let Yuanhu bring the Nine Roar Beast to run with us."
Liang Youshan said excitedly.
"By the way, how are Changming and the others?"
Han Debiao remembered Han Changming's situation and asked.
"Changming and the others are doing well. They will contact us if anything happens. Let them travel without worries! They won't be back for a while anyway."
Han Zhangxiang didn't plan to tell Han Changming now. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. There was no need to trouble Han Changming with the things they could solve.
Han Zhangxiang took out a star-moon disk that flashed red light, and entered a spell. A delighted female voice sounded, "Chief, I got a box of star sand."
"What? Star sand? Benfu, where did you get it?"
Han Zhangxiang said in surprise.
Han Benfu told the truth that this matter must be told to Han Zhangxiang.
"The Zhou family of Black Swallow Mountain, as I remember, is a family of immortal cultivators affiliated with the Heavenly Ghost Palace."
Liang Youshan analyzed.
"The news has spread. Someone is spreading the news. We have obtained several boxes of star sand."
Han Benfu reported.
She only got one box, and Song Sen also only got one box, but someone spread rumors, insisting that Han Benfu got multiple boxes of star sand. Needless to say, this was news spread by the Zhou family cultivators.
"Don't worry about him, but the news has spread, and the star sand is indeed impossible to keep. Forget it, let's hand it over to the Zhao family in exchange for immortal cultivation resources!"
Han Zhangxiang suggested that if the news had not leaked, there was no need to hand it over to the Zhao family and the family could just keep it for themselves. Now that the news had leaked, the Han family would be asking for trouble if they kept the cinnabar sand.
If the fusion cultivators knew about this, they might come to ask for the star sand. Don't forget, the Wanfa Sect dared to kill the Han family on Jiulong Island for a box of star sand. God knows whether the fusion cultivators will deal with the Han family for the star sand.
Star sand is a hot potato. Once the news spreads, it has to be handed over. This can be exchanged for some resources for cultivating immortals and can also reduce trouble.
"Hand it over! No need! Dad and I can both refine top-grade elixirs, so no one should come to trouble us!"
Han Benfu was a little reluctant.
"It is a crime to possess a treasure without guilt. Keeping the cinnabar sand is trouble. No one bothered us because we were poor and didn't have any good stuff. Now it is different. Having the cinnabar sand is trouble. You should go to the Zhao family immediately and exchange the cinnabar sand for cultivation resources."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
"Yes! Benfu, the news has leaked out. There is nothing we can do. We should hand it over!"
Han Debiao advised.
"Got it, Patriarch. I'll go to the Zhao family right away."
Han Benfu agreed.
