In the pitch-black starry sky, a huge black ship over 300 feet long was floating in the starry sky. A pattern of five poisonous insects could be seen on the sail. Three men and one woman were standing on the deck. Leading them was a short and fat old man in a black robe, with a murderous aura rising from his body.
He held a mini Nascent Soul in his hand, and the mini Nascent Soul looked painful. If Han Changming and others were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was Chen Qing's Nascent Soul.
"Chiyang Star Region, Xu Ruolin from the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance, and Han Changming from Xuanyang Star."
The old man in black robe muttered to himself, took out a talisman that was shining with silver light, stuck it on the mini Yuanying, and put it away.
They were sailing in a starship and encountered Chen Qing, who had lost her physical body. They directly captured her Nascent Soul and searched her soul.
"I've been to the Chiyang Star Region in my early years. The Seven Sword Sect is quite strong, and the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance is a business organization. As for Xuanyang Star, I've never heard of it, nor have I heard of Han Changming."
A plump young woman in a black dress spoke up.
Xu Jiao, in the middle stage of fusion, was born in the Five Saints Sect and is proficient in poison skills.
"Han Changming is an alchemist who can refine top-grade elixirs. They are going to the Tianji Star Region to retrieve the treasure from the Divine Weapon Tomb. As for where the treasure is, only Xu Ruolin will know. No one else knows."
The old man in black robe said, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Yang Gong, late stage of fusion.
"The Tomb of the Divine Weapons! That place is very dangerous. Where did they go to get the treasure? I think if we arrest them, everything will be clear."
An old man in a red robe with thin cheeks and sunken eyes suggested this. A lifelike centipede pattern was embroidered on his sleeve.
Li Zhu, early stage of fusion.
The Five Saints Sect has considerable influence in the Tianji Star Domain and has many disciples. Knowing Xu Ruolin's appearance, it is not difficult to capture Xu Ruolin.
"If we alert the enemy, if Xu Ruolin has planted a special restriction, searching her soul will directly trigger the restriction, and the loss will outweigh the gain. Now that we know what they are going to do, it will be easy. We can send someone to find them first, follow them, and go to the Divine Weapon Tomb together."
Yang Gong said, his tone changed, and he said: "Speaking of which, I am more interested in Han Changming. According to this person's memory, Han Changming has been in the fusion stage for less than 5,000 years. His cultivation speed is so fast, he must have a lot of top-grade elixirs that can improve his magic power, and maybe even the Nine-orifice Blood Ginseng Pill."
"How strong are they? Who is the strongest? Don't let anything go wrong. Nine combined monks should not be underestimated."
Li Zhu asked.
"The strongest one is Sun Shuo, who is in the late stage of fusion. The second strongest is Han Wenlong. We only know that he is a spirit master. We don't know the rest. Han Changming has a seventh-level puppet beast and has mastered a child's art. He can see far away in the starry sky, which is very convenient for treasure hunting and adventure."
Yang Gong's face showed a look of longing. If they could master this children's skill, it would be very convenient for them to search for treasures or travel in the starry sky in the future.
"Tongshu! This is rare."
Li Zhu said in surprise.
Yang Gong nodded and said, "Let's go back to the headquarters first, pass on the order, and find them first. I hope they can survive!"
After Yang Gong finished speaking, he took away Chen Qing's Nascent Soul, and with a pinch of his fingers, the huge black ship lit up with a dazzling black light and disappeared into the starry sky.
······
Qingji Star is located in the central part of the Tianji Star Region. It has a superior geographical location, many business travelers, and abundant resources for cultivating immortals.
The Qingji Mountains stretch for more than ten billion miles, with countless dangerous mountains and strange peaks. Qingji Mountain, one of the three major cities on Qingji Star, is located here.
A yellow light and a red light appeared in the distant sky and flew quickly towards the Qingji Mountains.
Not long after, the two beams of light stopped, revealing a yellow flying boat and a red beast cart.
Han Changming and four others stood in the red beast cart with smiles on their faces.
A slim girl in a yellow skirt and a plump young woman in a purple skirt stood on the yellow flying boat. There was a pattern of a red long sword on their clothes.
This is the mark of the Zhu family of Ba Dao Star. The Zhu family has a long heritage of more than 50,000 years. There are many masters, and there are no less than ten combined cultivators with extraordinary strength.
On the way, they happened to see some members of the Zhu family in danger and rescued them. When they learned that they were going to Qingji Mountain, the two girls volunteered to lead the way.
The yellow flying boat and the red beast cart flew forward, and soon they stopped over an open area. In front of them was a towering green mountain. There were many buildings on the mountain, and a large number of people could be seen walking around.
At the foot of the mountain, you can see a golden stone tablet with three silver stone tablets inscribed with "Qingji Mountain".
"Senior Han, this is Qingji Mountain!"
The girl in the yellow skirt pointed at the towering peak and said.
Zhu Yunyao, early stage of refining emptiness.
"It just so happens that our seventh uncle is here too. He is also an alchemist."
The young woman in the purple dress said with a smile.
Zhu Yunwu, middle stage of Lianxu.
On the way here, Han Changming chatted with her and learned that she was an alchemist. He gave her some pointers, and she then realized that Han Changming was an alchemist.
Just as he finished speaking, a long green rainbow flew out from Qingji Mountain, and stopped after a flash, revealing an old man in a green robe with a ruddy face.
The old man in green robe has a round face, small eyes, a fat body and a pair of small green eyes.
"Seventh uncle!"
Zhu Yunyao and the other girl greeted them with a look of delight on their faces.
"I am Zhu Qingming. Thank you all for your help in saving Yun Yao and the others. Please come in."
The old man in green robe introduced himself and made a gesture of invitation.
Han Changming nodded, put away the red beast cart, and followed Zhu Qingming into Qingji Mountain.
The streets are crowded with people and noisy with cars and horses. Most of the shops on both sides of the street sell ores or refining materials. There are many weapon shops, and you can see several shops selling puppet beasts.
Puppet beasts are popular in the Tianji star field. Any larger market will definitely have puppet beasts for sale. The higher the rank, the more expensive the price.
The monks on the street noticed Han Changming and others, glanced at them, and no longer paid attention to them.
They didn't know Han Changming and the other four, they only knew Zhu Qingming and just took a closer look at him.
Not long after, they walked into a secluded courtyard, and after passing through several archways, they came to a secluded courtyard.
There is a two-story green attic and a green stone pavilion in the courtyard. A plump young woman in a golden skirt is sitting in the stone pavilion, and a set of exquisite tea sets is placed on the table.
Judging from the aura of the young woman in the golden skirt, she is just a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage.
"Friend Han, Madam Han, this is my wife. Madam, this is Friend Han and Madam Han who saved Yun Yao and the others."
Zhu Qingming introduced.
After Zhu Yunyao was rescued, she contacted him immediately and explained the whole story.
"My name is Mu Lingyu, nice to meet you seniors."
The young woman in the golden skirt bowed and spoke politely.
"Mrs. Zhu, you are too polite. You don't have to be polite to me."
Han Changming smiled slightly and said.
Zhu Qingming invited Han Changming and the other four to sit down, picked up an exquisite green teapot, poured them each a cup, and said, "I'll use tea instead of wine. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for saving our Zhu family members."
After saying this, Zhu Qingming drank it all in one gulp.
Han Changming did not delay either, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Mu Lingyu took out a green jade box, handed it to Han Changming, and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, this is a little gift from us, please don't despise it."
"Mrs. Zhu, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."
Han Changming declined.
"Friend Han, please open it and take a look at what it is. It's not too late to refuse then."
Zhu Qingming said with a smile.
Han Changming opened the lid of the box curiously, and found a red Ganoderma lucidum inside. It was more than 20,000 years old and was indeed precious.
"Chi Yanzhi! It's really good, but I said, it's just a small favor, you don't have to be polite."
After saying this, Han Changming returned the jade box to Zhu Qingming.
Are you kidding? It’s just a 20,000-year-old elixir. It’s not like he can’t get it out.
"Our Zhu family has some say in the Tianji Star Region. If Brother Han needs our help, just ask and we will do our best to meet your needs."
Zhu Qingming said.
He didn't say everything, for fear that Han Changming would make excessive demands.
Ye Xue took out a green jade slip, handed it to Zhu Qingming, and said, "We want to purchase these immortal cultivation resources. Fellow Daoist Zhu, please take a look."
The jade slips recorded the materials they needed to collect. Most of them were useful things and were not particularly rare. They could be found by spending a little more time.
They just rescued two Void-Refining Monks, not the Zhu family, so they wouldn't ask for such an exorbitant amount of money.
With the help of the Zhu family, a lot of time can be saved.
Zhu Qingming took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. These things were not rare, but they were numerous, and it was not a small amount.
"We just asked Daoyou Zhu to help collect these things. We're not taking them for free. This is a deposit."
Ye Xin took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Zhu Qingming.
Zhu Qingming scanned the area with his spiritual sense, nodded, and said with a smile: "No problem, it's a small matter, but there are a lot of these things, so it will take some time. Fellow Daoist Han might as well stay in Qingji Mountain and gather all the materials. I will send them to you right away."
"No problem. I'll trouble you, Brother Zhu."
Han Changming agreed and expressed his gratitude.
"It's no trouble. It's just a piece of cake."
Zhu Qingming smiled calmly, then changed his tone and continued, "By the way, I heard that Fellow Daoist Han is an alchemist?"
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Zhu is also an alchemist! He has planted many spiritual herbs, and they have a strong medicinal fragrance."
Han Changming said with a smile.
As an alchemist, he smelled the fragrance of medicine as soon as he entered here, which is difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect.
Zhu Qingming's eyes lit up and he started chatting with Han Changming about the art of alchemy.
Ye Xue and the other three drank tea quietly while Mu Lingyu struck up a conversation with them.
"Fellow Daoist Han has made great achievements in the art of alchemy! I believe he can refine top-grade elixirs!"
Zhu Qingming asked casually.
"Sometimes I can refine it, and sometimes I can't. The success rate is not high."
Han Changming said this cautiously. He would not reveal too much information about himself.
Some fusion monks can refine top-grade elixirs, but their success rate is not high, sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail.
Zhu Qingming's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a slight hesitation, he asked politely, "Excuse me, who is Han Daoyou's master?"
He is also an alchemist, but he cannot refine top-grade elixirs. There are many weapon refiners in the Tianji Star Domain, and they have refined many treasures that are ranked among the star domain's divine weapons list, but alchemists who can refine top-grade elixirs are rare. Even in a large family like the Zhu family, there are not many members who can refine top-grade elixirs.
Seeing that Han Changming was so young yet could refine top-grade elixirs and had reached the late stage of fusion, he felt that Han Changming must have a master.
"I come from a small family, not from any famous sect."
Han Changming explained.
True Man Ling Xiao is in the Void Refining Stage and is still in the Chiyang Star Region. His alchemy skills far exceed those of True Man Ling Xiao, who has yet to refine a top-grade elixir.
The disciple is better than the master!
Zhu Qingming showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and praised: "I see, it seems that Fellow Daoist Han is extremely talented. He has reached the late stage of fusion at such a young age, and can also refine top-grade elixirs."
"Brother Daoist Zhu, you are too kind. The success rate is not high. It is considered good if one material can be used to refine a top-grade pill."
Han Changming said modestly.
Zhu Qingming's mouth twitched. He couldn't refine a top-grade pill with ten portions of materials, but Han Changming could refine one with one portion of materials. Did you say the success rate was not high? This was too discouraging.
They started chatting, and Zhu Qingming didn't ask which star field Han Changming was from.
Han Changming asked him about the situation of the Divine Weapon Tomb. His knowledge of the Divine Weapon Tomb mainly came from the classics he obtained and what Xu Ruolin said, which was definitely insufficient.
Zhu Qingming is a local and should know more about the Tomb of the Divine Soldiers.
"The Divine Weapon Tomb! That's not a good place. If a cultivator of the combined stage goes in to look for treasure, the chance of dying is still very high. Rumor has it that a Mahayana cultivator died in the Divine Weapon Tomb. There is no need to go there. I advise you not to go there. There are indeed many treasures there, but few cultivators can come out alive."
Zhu Qingming said solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I heard that there is a place in the Tianji Star Region that is more dangerous than the Divine Weapon Tomb?"
Han Wenlong asked curiously.
Zhu Qingming looked at Han Wenlong, nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, you are talking about the Tianji Cave Heaven, right? That is the sitting cave of the Mahayana cultivator Tianji Divine Lord. It is in the starry sky, but the restrictions are too strong. It will usher in a weak period every tens of thousands of years. Only then will cultivators go in to search for treasures. The chance of a combined cultivator entering the Tianji Cave Heaven to search for treasures and dying is higher."
"The last time the Tianji Cave Heaven was opened was thousands of years ago. If you are interested in the Tianji Cave Heaven, you will have to wait tens of thousands of years."
"Brother Zhu, you are joking. Who would wait for tens of thousands of years? Even if you go in, you may not get anything good. After all, Tianji Cave has existed for many years, and there may not be anything good left."
Han Changming disagreed.
"Fellow Daoist Han, what you said is wrong. I used to think so too. But the last time the Tianji Cave was opened, Fairy Qianhua and her companions went into the Tianji Cave to search for treasures. I heard that they got a top-grade elixir, practiced in seclusion, and successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage, becoming the only Mahayana cultivator in the Tianji Star Region."
Zhu Qingming said seriously.
"Top-grade elixir, Thousand Flower Fairy!"
Han Changming was surprised. He really didn't know about this.
"It's not surprising that you don't know about this. Not to mention you, even the local cultivators in the Tianji Star Region don't know much about it. Our family has some connections with Fairy Qianhua, but we only found out about it not long ago. It will take some time for this news to spread."
Mu Lingyu explained.
