"That's good too. After we hand over the star sand, we can occupy the secret realm without worry."
Han Zhangxiang analyzed that if they handed over the star sand, even if they had to fight with the Xuanshui Palace for the secret realm, they could still ask the Zhao family for help.
"De Biao, You Shan, you take your men back to Xuanshui Star, guard that secret place, and slowly mine the magnetite veins. Long Yan and I will be responsible for refining the magnetite crystals into treasures. Let's act separately."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
Han Debiao and Liang Youshan agreed, left Wanhulin and returned to Xuanshui Star.
Han Zhangxiang and Han Longyan walked into a secret room. There were a large number of red runes engraved on the stone walls, and the temperature was frighteningly high.
There was a tripod furnace with three legs and two ears in the room. Han Zhangxiang and Han Longyan sat opposite each other, surrounding the furnace.
Han Zhangxiang opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of red flame, which fell on the bottom of the refining furnace. Han Longyan threw the materials into the refining furnace one after another.
This is not the first time the two have worked together to refine weapons, so they are very experienced.
Soon, the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
······
Jin Yang Star, Zhao family.
In a secluded manor, Zhao Yulong was talking to a tall young man in a golden shirt. The young man had a sturdy build and was full of strength.
Zhao Yixin, who possesses the body of Jinxin, has now reached the great perfection of refining emptiness and is preparing to go into seclusion to reach the stage of fusion.
"This is my experience in reaching the fusion stage. I hope you can use it."
Zhao Yulong took out a green jade slip and handed it to Zhao Yixin.
Zhao Yixin thanked him repeatedly and agreed.
Zhao Yulong took out a golden magic disk, entered a magic formula, and said, "Got it, I'll be there right away."
"Master, are there any distinguished guests coming to visit?"
Zhao Yixin asked.
"The Han family cultivator is here to visit me. He said he has made an important discovery and needs to talk to me. You can go back and retreat with peace of mind!"
Zhao Yulong explained.
When he arrived at the reception room, Zhao Yulong met Han Benfu.
"Senior Zhao, we got a box of star sand and specially presented it to you."
Han Benfu went straight to the point, took out an exquisite green jade box, and handed it to Zhao Yulong with both hands.
"Star sand!"
Zhao Yulong was a little surprised. This was a rare commodity, and it was not easy for the Zhao family to collect star sand.
"Friend Han, where did you get it from?"
Zhao Yulong asked curiously.
Han Benfu did not hide anything and told the truth.
"The Zhou family of Black Swallow Mountain! Humph, even if it's the Heavenly Ghost Palace, it's no big deal. You don't have to be afraid. Our Zhao family will support you."
Zhao Yulong spoke, and then he changed his tone and said, "Little friend Han, what do you want? Our Zhao family will try our best to satisfy you."
There is no free lunch in the world. It is impossible for Han Benfu to give a box of star sand to the Zhao family for free. It is right to give and take.
"I want Wanlong Jade and some elixirs."
Han Benfu took out a green jade slip and handed it to Zhao Yulong.
Wanlong Jade can upgrade the spiritual veins, raising the spiritual veins in the outer sea to the sixth level, and the spiritual medicine can be used for alchemy.
As for more precious things, even a box of star sand cannot be exchanged for them.
Zhao Yulong took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, nodded, and said, "No problem, Han, wait a moment."
He took out a pale golden magic disk, entered a spell, and made some gestures.
Not long after, Zhao Tianzong walked in with a green storage ring in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yulong.
Zhao Yulong handed the storage ring to Han Benfu and said, "Friend Han, take a look and see if this is what you want. Tianzong will go with you and help you upgrade your spirit vein."
Han Benfu scanned the area with her spiritual sense, and said with a delighted look, "Thank you very much, Senior Zhao."
She looked at Zhao Tianzong and said politely, "Thank you for your help, Brother Zhao."
"It's just a small favor. Fairy Han, you are too polite."
Zhao Tianzong said modestly.
"Tian Zong, you and little friend Han should go for a trip! Upgrade your spirit veins and come back."
Zhao Yulong ordered.
Zhao Tianzong responded and left with Han Benfu.
······
Qinglian Star Region, Liuli Star.
In a secluded manor, Xie Yiting, Han Changming, Han Wenlong and others were sitting in a green stone pavilion, talking about something.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Xie, for your hospitality. It's time for us to leave."
Han Changming stood up and said goodbye. He planned to travel to other immortal cultivation planets.
"Since Fellow Daoist Han has made up his mind to leave, I will not try to persuade you to stay. If you need help from our Xie family, please feel free to ask."
Xie Yiteng said sincerely.
"must."
Han Changming agreed.
After leaving the Liuli Mountains, Han Changming summoned the Suzaku Flying Car and took Han Wenlong and others away.
The Qinglian star region is huge, and since it’s a rare opportunity to come here, one must naturally take a good look around.
······
Chiyang star field, Xuanyang star, outer sea.
Jiulong Island, this is the ancestral land of the Han family.
Zhao Tianzong, Han Fangxue, Han Benfu and Han Fangyuan stood on the top of a steep peak with solemn expressions.
Han Fangxue held a glowing array plate in her hand and cast one spell after another.
The entire Jiulong Island began to shake slightly, and a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy surged out.
"The spirit vein has been upgraded to the sixth level. Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Han Fangxue said politely that she was a formation master and had upgraded the spiritual veins with Ye Xin. This time, Han Fangxue made great efforts in upgrading the spiritual veins.
Zhao Tianzong came here just to give some guidance, just to show the Zhao family's attention. Even if Zhao Tianzong didn't come, Han Fangxue could still upgrade her spiritual vein.
"Fairy Han, you're too polite. I can't be of much help."
Zhao Tianzong said modestly that he originally wanted to talk to Han Changming, but who would have thought that Han Changming was not there.
"The spirit vein has been upgraded to the sixth level. I have to go back and report. Goodbye."
Zhao Tianzong said goodbye.
Han Benfu personally saw him off and used a large teleportation array to teleport him back to Wanhulin.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Gourds Forest, Zhao Tianzong waved his right hand, and a green light flew out from the spirit beast bracelet. It turned out to be a giant green crane. He walked to the back of the green crane, and the green crane flapped its wings gently, causing a gust of wind, and flew towards the sky.
Not long after, Zhao Tianzong disappeared into the horizon.
······
Qinglian Star Region, Tianhe Star has many rivers, hence its name.
Bailong River is the largest river on Tianhe Star. Bailong Valley is located near the source of Bailong River. It is the most important city on Tianhe Star, with many merchants and travelers coming and going.
The streets were bustling with people and the noise of cars and horses, making it very lively.
A young man in a yellow shirt with ordinary features and two ordinary-looking women were strolling on the street. Looking around, they saw that they were Han Changming and his wife, who had changed their appearance.
They stole the show at Xie Zisen's birthday party, so in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they changed their appearance when traveling.
Han Wenlong, Han Changbing and others separated from them and went their separate ways. Anyway, they had the Star-Moon Plate, so they could contact them through it if they had any questions.
Han Changming was walking on the street. There were many spirit fish shops on both sides of the street, selling various aquatic products, such as spirit fish, spirit shrimp, spirit clams and so on.
There are many rivers on Tianhe Star and the aquaculture industry is well developed.
"If you pass by, come in and take a look. The newly arrived blood shrimps have the effect of replenishing qi and blood. There are also aquatic products such as crocodiles and eels. They are of good quality and low price."
"Tianxianglou has launched new dishes. Come and try them. I guarantee you will be impressed."
"The newly arrived clam pearls are good for making pills and setting up formations."
······
The waiter worked hard to attract customers. Tianhe Star had a well-developed aquaculture industry and there were many spiritual chefs. Many monks sought enlightenment through eating.
This type of monks usually eat first, and then sleep. This is their unique way of practice.
Han Changming has been practicing Taoism for many years, but he has never met a high-level cultivator who achieved enlightenment through eating.
After a cup of tea, they appeared in a vast bluestone square. There were many small stalls in the square. The things on the stalls were varied, and many spiritual fish and shrimps could be seen.
Han Changming and his wife walked around and saw a lot of interesting things.
"Sixth-level dragon meat? Is this true?"
A surprised male voice sounded.
"Sixth-level dragon!"
Han Changming was a little curious and came to a small stall. On the stall was half a dragon. Its scales were red and there was a horrible bloody hole on its head. It was no longer breathing.
The stall owner was an old man in a golden robe with a goatee, and he had reached the late stage of the Refining Void realm.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is the sixth-level dragon meat?"
Someone asked.
"We only exchange, not sell. We will exchange ingredients of equal value."
The old man in the golden robe spoke.
"Ingredients of equal value? Can't we have other things?"
Someone questioned.
"Of course you can, but I'm also well-informed, so don't bring out ordinary things to embarrass yourself."
The old man in the golden robe was full of pride.
Han Changming was not interested in the fire-attributed dragon and did not intend to exchange it.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, how about I exchange it with you for a sixth-grade top-grade Ice Soul Shrimp?"
A female voice like a silver bell rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a plump girl in a white dress walked up to the stall.
The girl in the white dress has a cherry mouth, a beautiful nose, lively eyes, and skin as white as snow. There are plum blossoms embroidered on her sleeves.
"It's the Plum Blossom Fairy!"
Someone recognized the identity of the girl in the white dress.
"Plum Blossom Fairy!"
Han Changming had heard of this girl. The Plum Blossom Fairy came from a family of immortal cultivators and entered the Tao through eating.
"Ice Soul Shrimp! Fairy Lu is really capable. She was able to get a sixth-grade top-grade Ice Soul Shrimp. Can you let me see it?"
The old man in the golden robe said politely.
The Plum Blossom Fairy took out a white storage ring and handed it to the old man in golden robe.
The old man in golden robe took a quick look with his spiritual sense, nodded with satisfaction, and handed the dragon's body to the Plum Blossom Fairy, who collected the dragon's body and left.
"What kind of monster is this Ice Soul Shrimp? Is it more precious than a sixth-level dragon?"
Han Changming asked curiously.
"Fellow Daoist is not a food cultivator, so it's normal that you don't know. Ice Soul Shrimp is a kind of demon beast that is unique to Wanling Cave Heaven. Its meat is delicious. For ordinary cultivators like us, a sixth-level dragon is more valuable, but for cultivators who enter the Dao through eating, Ice Soul Shrimp is more precious."
Someone explained.
"Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven!"
Han Changming had heard other Void-Refining cultivators mention the Wanling Cave Heaven more than once. It was said that there were many good things in it, but it was full of dangers, and even a Fusion cultivator who entered would be in danger of dying.
They walked around and looked around. Ye Xin bought some materials for setting up formations, and Ye Xue bought some materials for making talismans.
More than two hours later, it was dark, the streets were brightly lit and bustling with people.
Han Changming rented a small courtyard and settled down there.
Han Changming walked into a secret room and activated the formation. He injected magic power into the Suzaku Pendant. A dazzling red light lit up. He felt a flash before his eyes and appeared in the Suzaku space.
He came to the spiritual field and carefully observed the Nine-Aperture Blood Ginseng and found that it was growing well.
Han Changming took out a palm-sized green gourd with the mouth of the gourd facing downward. A drop of emerald green Jade Dew of Creation fell onto the Nine-Aperture Blood Ginseng. The Nine-Aperture Blood Ginseng quickly absorbed it and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the Nine-Aperture Blood Ginseng is ripe for 30,000 years, it can be used to refine the Nine-Aperture Blood Pill.
Han Changming took a tour in the Suzaku space. All the golden-whiskered blood-scaled fish and the five-colored phoenix butterfly were dead. He had no intention of raising them anymore. He was already very satisfied with the spiritual beasts, birds and insects he had. He could not bite off more than he could chew.
Han Changming exited the Suzaku space and meditated to regulate his breathing.
······
A period of sixty years passed quickly.
Chiyang Star Region, Xuanyang Star.
Wanhulin, a quiet manor, Han Qiyao is reporting to Han Fangyuan.
"Qin family! Humph, you really think we are easy to bully. You did a good job. Keep doing this in the future."
Han Fangyuan warned.
Han Qiyao and other members of the Han family went out to do some work and came into conflict with members of the Qin family, which is a subsidiary family of the Tiangui Palace.
As the Han family grows stronger, it is inevitable that they will offend other forces. There is no way around it. Over the past hundred years, the Han family has had many conflicts with the affiliated forces of the Tiangui Palace. With the support of the Zhao family, the Han family is not afraid.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Qiyao agreed and felt relieved.
"Okay, go back now! Take good care of yourself. I'll have an important task for you later."
Han Fangyuan waved his hand and asked her to leave.
He took out a communication disk that was glowing with spiritual light, and typed in a spell. Han Zhangxiang's voice rang out: "Fang Yuan, come to my place. We have already refined the Yuanci treasure."
"Great, Chief, I'll be there right away."
Han Fangyuan was overjoyed and agreed.
He came to Han Zhangxiang's residence and met Han Zhangxiang smoothly.
Han Zhangxiang flipped his right hand, and a small seal with flashing spiritual light flew out of his hand and flew into the air, emitting terrifying spiritual fluctuations.
Yuan Magnetic Seal, the first Yuan Magnetic Treasure refined by Han Zhangxiang, was refined with a large amount of Yuan Magnetic Stone and a piece of Yuan Magnetic Divine Crystal.
"Fang Yuan, store this Yuan magnetic seal in the family treasury. If a clan member wants to perform an important mission, he can apply to use this treasure."
Han Zhangxiang gave the order, and with a pinch of his fingers, the Yuan magnetic seal quickly shrank and fell into Han Fangyuan's hand.
The Han family now has two family treasures, the Red Wolf Bell and the Yuan Magnetic Seal, the latter of which is more powerful.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Fangyuan agreed readily.
"By the way, how is the secret realm where the Yuanci ore vein is located?"
Han Zhangxiang asked about the situation in the secret realm.
"It is still under our control. With Patriarch De Biao in charge, no one dares to take the secret realm. However, in recent years, the affiliated immortal cultivation families of the Heavenly Ghost Palace have been giving us trouble. I wonder if they got the approval of the Heavenly Ghost Palace's top leaders."
Han Fangyuan said slowly.
"You want to make things difficult for us? We are not afraid of trouble, and we won't cause any. Just say hello to our tribesmen! There is no need. Don't make things difficult for other forces."
Han Zhangxiang warned, he was very clear that this day would come sooner or later, the rise of the Han family was unstoppable, which was bound to affect the development of some forces, and the Han family would inevitably have friction with other forces.
Han Fangyuan responded and left.
