Han Changming put away the yellow gourd and walked around the spiritual field to check the growth of the spiritual herbs. The growth of the spiritual herbs was good, so he exited the Suzaku space.
He sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion, meditating and regulating his breathing.
······
In a nine-story golden attic, an old man in a green robe with a gloomy face was sitting on a chair, and a gentle-looking young man in a black shirt was reporting to him.
"Have you found the cave where that guy passed away?"
The old man in green robe had a hoarse voice.
"There are some clues, but I'm not sure yet."
The young man in black shirt spoke, looking respectful.
"Hmph, let me know after you find out the truth. Don't let it be fake news again, causing me to make a wasted trip."
The old man in green robe gave the order with a cold tone.
The young man in black shuddered and agreed.
"Many high-level monks have come to this celebration. Please pay attention to the materials that the master wants to collect."
The old man in green robe remembered something and added.
"Yes, Master."
The young man in black agreed with a respectful look.
······
The night passed quickly.
It was just dawn and there were many pedestrians walking on the street.
Han Changming, Ye Xue and Ye Xin strolled along the street, looking around.
After a cup of tea, they appeared at the door of an eighteen-story green attic, with many monks coming in and out.
On the plaque of the green pavilion were written three large golden characters "Qinglian Pavilion", which were shining and very eye-catching.
According to the information they had, Qinglian Pavilion was a shop opened by the Wang family and was also the largest shop in the market.
Han Changming walked in, and Ye Xue and Ye Xin followed.
As they entered the Qinglian Pavilion, a shrewd attendant in green came over and said with a big smile, "Welcome to our store, three seniors. How can I help you?"
"We want to buy some spiritual medicine. We heard that Qinglian Pavilion is the largest store in the market, so we came to take a look."
Ye Xue spoke.
"Senior, you have arrived at the right time. We have just received a batch of spiritual medicines. Please come to the fifth floor."
The green-shirted attendant said enthusiastically and led the way personally.
Arriving at the fifth floor, Han Changming saw rows of tall shelves on which were placed various kinds of spiritual medicines, packed in jade boxes. In addition to spiritual medicines, there were also medicinal stones, spiritual water and other alchemy materials.
A team of blue-shirted attendants stood behind the counter, introducing elixirs to the customers.
Han Changming walked to a counter, took out a green jade slip, handed it to a green-shirted attendant, and said, "Do you have these spiritual medicines?"
The attendant in green took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, counted it and said, "Most of the spiritual medicines are available, but Xuehungu doesn't have any."
Blood Soul is a relatively precious spiritual medicine that usually grows in places with strong yin energy and has the effect of nourishing the soul.
"Then take the elixir you have!"
Han Changming ordered.
The green-shirted attendant responded, walked towards the counter, and communicated with a middle-sized young man in a gold-shirt through voice transmission.
Han Changming didn't rush him and just waited quietly.
After a while, the young man in the golden shirt came over, took out a green storage ring, handed it to Han Changming, and said, "Daoyou, this is what you want, please check it out."
Han Changming took the storage ring, took out the jade boxes and jade caskets inside, checked them one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he nodded, and Ye Xin paid the full amount.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue bought some materials for setting up formations and making talismans and left Qinglian Pavilion.
As they walked out of Qinglian Pavilion, a young man in a green shirt with ordinary features caught up with them.
"Senior, please stay, please stay."
The young man in green shouted loudly.
Han Changming stopped, looked up and down at the young man in green, and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
The young man in green has the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Han Changming does not recognize this person.
"Senior, do you want a Blood Soul Orphan? I know where I can buy one."
The young man in green shirt spoke.
"where?"
Han Changming asked.
"It's at an underground auction in Fangshi. It will be held the day after tomorrow evening. This is the location. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. In addition to the Blood Soul Orphan, there are many other good things there."
As the young man in green said this, he took out a green jade slip and handed it to Han Changming.
Han Changming scanned with his spiritual sense and found nothing unusual, so he asked, "Why are you so kind to inform me?"
"I have received benefits from merchants and helped to attract some customers, but the source of the goods is more complicated."
The young man in green explained that there were many underground auctions like this, and if they wanted to attract high-level monks to participate, they needed to work hard to recruit customers.
Han Changming nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and started strolling on the street.
They walked around and looked around, and when they saw something they could use, they would spend spirit stones to buy it.
The business scope of the merchants is broad, and as long as you can afford the price, you can even customize a seventh-level formation. Of course, the price is an astronomical figure, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford it.
Two hours later, Han Changming and the other two appeared at the bluestone square and walked around and had a look.
They had already been around last night, but that doesn't guarantee that they won't come across something good today. It all depends on whether you have the vision and luck, both of which are essential.
They walked and looked around, but didn't find anything good.
"A broken stone is worth millions of spirit stones? If you want to cheat someone, you should be more serious. Who are you kidding?"
"If you don't have good eyesight, then don't make irresponsible remarks."
"This is clearly just a broken piece of stone. It's only a fifth-grade refining material. Who are you kidding?"
······
A fierce quarrel broke out and reached Han Changming's ears.
"This voice is a little familiar, it seems to be Fellow Daoist Long."
Han Changming felt very familiar when he heard this voice.
He walked quickly towards the source of the sound and came to a stall crowded with people.
He finally squeezed in and found that the stall owner was indeed Long Dahai. There were quite a few things on the stall, of various kinds. Among them, a golden stone caught his attention.
The golden stone has a round shape and some mysterious patterns on its surface.
A burly young man in a blue shirt stood in front of the stall, pointing at the golden stone and saying something.
It seemed that they were quarreling over the stone.
"If you think I'm a liar, you don't have to buy it. I'm not forcing you."
Long Dahai rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"If it's cheaper, I'll buy it."
The young man in blue bargained.
Long Dahai rolled his eyes at him and refused to speak anymore.
“I bought this stone.”
Han Changming spoke.
Based on his understanding of Long Dahai, this stone must be extraordinary.
When the young man in blue heard the voice, he turned his head and looked at Han Changming. Feeling the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Han Changming, he said nothing and left dejectedly.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and Han Changming said with a smile: "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Long."
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Han. It's been hundreds of years. You have advanced to the late stage of Refining Void. Congratulations!"
Long Dahai felt the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Han Changming and congratulated Han Changming.
"You are too polite, Brother Long. Let's find a place to chat!"
Han Changming suggested that Long Dahai had a lot of good things on him. He hadn't seen him for many years and wondered what good things he had found.
Long Dahai did not refuse and agreed.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Changming and three others appeared in a private room of a teahouse, drinking tea and chatting.
After a few drinks, they started talking.
"Fellow Daoist Long, please forgive my poor eyesight. What kind of stone is this?"
Han Changming took out the golden stone and asked curiously.
"Golden Core Stone is the excrement of the seventh-level golden core insect. It is an excellent material for refining tools and can increase the toughness of treasures. However, this piece of golden core stone is a semi-finished product. It was used to refine tools, but the refining process was stopped halfway. Therefore, this piece of golden core stone looks a little special and is heavier than normal golden core stones."
Long Dahai explained.
Han Changming suddenly realized that since it was a seventh-grade refining material, if he gave it to the stone man, he would definitely like it.
"Friend Han, do you still have any top-grade Mi Yuan Dan?"
Long Dahai asked expectantly.
Han Changming shook his head. Of course he would not admit it. He was a little curious. Why did Long Dahai want the top-grade Mi Yuan Dan? This kind of elixir temporarily increases spiritual consciousness, but there will be some weakness afterwards, unless it is a battle or practicing some secret techniques, which have certain requirements for spiritual consciousness.
"If you have the materials, can you help me refine some top-grade Mi Yuan Dan?"
Long Dahai said politely.
"Of course, it's just a piece of cake."
Han Changming agreed.
Long Dahai thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, have you ever heard of True Lord Fire Crow?"
"True Lord Fire Crow? I've heard of him. He's a combined cultivator, and is well-known in the Qinglian Star Region. He raises a seventh-rank Flame Devouring Crow, and his magical powers are not small. However, True Lord Fire Crow hasn't appeared for many years. I heard that he died."
Han Changming said slowly.
"Yes, he is indeed dead. I found his cave, but the restrictions are too strong and I can't open it."
Long Dahai explained.
"The restriction is too strong? Could it be a spiritual restriction?"
Han Changming asked in confusion.
Long Dahai wants the top-grade Mi Yuan Dan, is it just to break the ban
"Yes, it is indeed a spiritual restriction, the Ten Directions Locking God Restriction, which requires a spiritual form attack to break. I asked for the top-grade Mi Yuan Dan before just to break the restriction, but the restriction was too strong, and I overestimated myself and failed to break it. I would like to ask for your help. If you can break the restriction, whoever sees it will have a share of the treasure."
Long Dahai said sincerely.
"Ask me to help break the formation? Why don't you invite other Taoist friends? There is no one else except you and me?"
Han Changming was puzzled. He didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky. Even if a pie fell from the sky, it was impossible for it to fall on him.
There must be a reason why Long Dahai invited Han Changming to help break the ban.
"I have another good friend. I tried to break the ban with him back then, but we failed. We agreed to find a few friends each and break the ban together. I plan to invite you to help."
Long Dahai explained.
"Break the ban and take the treasure?"
Han Changming was somewhat tempted, but he also had some concerns. He had to be on guard against others. It was said that he was breaking the ban and searching for treasure, but who knew what would happen? It was possible that someone was plotting against Han Changming.
"The Fire Crow Master's sitting cave may contain the Yuanhun Pill, otherwise I wouldn't be so keen on taking the treasure. In addition to the Yuanhun Pill, there are other good things."
Long Dahai explained, his tone full of temptation.
"When do we leave?"
Han Changming asked.
"Wait a few days! Wait for him to find his friend and get the treasure as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. What do you think?"
Long Dahai said sincerely, looking at Han Changming expectantly.
He had wasted the top-grade Mi Yuan Dan when he failed to obtain the treasure last time. He was impressed by Han Changming's alchemy skills, and since he was familiar with Han Changming, he invited Han Changming to help.
If we fail again this time and fail to obtain the relics of Lord Fire Crow, I'm afraid we won't have another chance. Now that more people know about it, it will be difficult to keep it secret.
"In a few days? You're in such a hurry. Is it far from here?"
Han Changming asked with a frown.
"Break the ban and take the treasure as soon as possible to avoid more trouble! It is indeed far from here, otherwise I would not be in such a hurry. If we delay for too long, it is hard to say who will get the treasure of True Lord Fire Crow."
Long Dahai explained.
At the beginning, when only two people knew about it, it was easy to keep it secret. But now that both parties have invited other monks to participate, it is impossible to keep it secret at all.
"Alright! When the time comes to leave, use the communication disk to contact me."
Han Changming thought about it for a moment and agreed.
He could refuse other things, but he really couldn't refuse the Yuanhun Pill. Besides, his current strength was not weak, and he had the help of Han Yan, Han Chan, Han Yuan and others. As long as no fusion cultivator took action, he was not afraid.
He still had a seventh-level talisman in his hand, so even if a combined cultivator attacked, he was sure he could escape unscathed.
"Okay, it's a deal. I'll contact you when I leave."
Long Dahai was overjoyed and agreed.
"By the way, you have to refine the Mi Yuan Dan as soon as possible. No matter how many people we have, if our spiritual sense is not strong enough, we will not be able to break the restriction."
Long Dahai remembered something and reminded.
"The other materials are easy to come by, but the main ingredient is a bit more troublesome. I don't know where to collect it for the time being."
Han Changming looked embarrassed.
Long Dahai smiled calmly, took out a green storage ring, handed it to Han Changming, and said, "There is a material in it. I originally wanted to ask you to help me refine the pill, and it just happened to be useful. I estimated that at least five top-grade Mi Yuan Pills are needed. The more the better, so that there is a greater chance of breaking the restriction."
"No problem, I'll refine it as soon as possible."
Han Changming agreed and accepted the storage ring.
After chatting for more than half a minute, Long Dahai said goodbye and left.
"I didn't expect that someone would invite us to go treasure hunting in a foreign country. If I calculate the time, we haven't hunted for treasure for many years."
Ye Xue sighed.
"In any case, it's better to be careful. I hope I can get the Yuanhun Pill."
Han Changming said in a deep voice that Yuanhun Pills would also appear in this auction, but the competition would definitely be fierce. He did not think he could win over other cultivators. It was not a matter of spirit stones, but of cultivation.
They left the teahouse and strolled on the street.
When crossing a street fork, a group of monks came towards them, led by Xie Yuqing, and Xie Yuyao was also there.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Han, long time no see."
When Xie Yuqing saw Han Changming, she let out a light exclamation and greeted him with a smile.
She didn't expect to meet Han Changming here, this was a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you, fairy. Long time no see."
Han Changming smiled slightly and greeted him.
