With his cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, it is impossible for him to dive too deep underground, nor can he stay underground for too long. It makes sense that he has special earth-attributed magic tools and elixirs to restore mana.
"If the elixir is gone, it's gone. If the magic weapon is broken, it's broken. As long as the person is fine, that's fine."
Han Deling didn't take it seriously and spoke to comfort her.
"Yeah! As long as everyone is fine."
Han Changming nodded and put away his magic weapon.
At this time, the other two competitions had also ended, with Huoyun Sect winning one and losing the other.
Both the Mu family and the Qin family sent people to participate in the battle. The Mu family won and the Qin family lost.
Ye Yan shook his sleeves, and two jade boxes shining with red light flew out, flying towards Lu Yang and the middle-aged beautiful woman respectively. They were Jindan cultivators from Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect respectively.
"The Jindan cultivator really has a bet!"
Han Changming thought to himself, the world is bustling and people interact with each other for profit. If there was no benefit, Lu Yang would not have made any promise.
The Jindan cultivator from Taixu Sect threw a green jade box to Ye Yan, and Ye Yan accepted it without hesitation.
"Okay, both the Han family and the Mu family can rent one of our Huoyunmen's small islands, Xuantian Island and Ziguang Island respectively. You just need to send someone to contact them when the time comes. If there is nothing else, you can leave! Go back to where you came from."
Ye Yan ordered them to leave with a cold tone.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, goodbye."
Lu Yang smiled and nodded, and said to Han Changming and others: "Let's go! Han Xiaoyou, you guys go back with me, and the rest of you should return to your families as soon as possible, and be careful on the road."
"Yes, Senior Lu."
The flames on Lu Yang's body grew stronger, and a red fire cloud appeared out of thin air, carrying him and the Han family cultivators into the sky.
When Chen Hongming saw this scene, he felt mixed emotions.
In this battle, the Chen family suffered heavy losses and he was the only one who survived. The Han family won the prize. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Having said that, if he had not plotted against the Han family, and let the Han family attack the small island, while he himself attacked the island rich in immortal cultivation resources, the outcome might have been different.
The problem is, there is no regret medicine in the world. Given the opportunity to weaken the Han family, Chen Hongming has no reason not to do so.
"Friend Han, are you interested in serving as our Tinghai Pavilion's outer sect steward?"
Lu Yang asked casually.
Han Changming was slightly stunned and looked at Han Daobin, who was also confused.
The Han family is a family of immortal cultivators affiliated with Tinghai Pavilion. Logically speaking, working for Tinghai Pavilion is their job, so what is the matter with this outer sect deacon
"Friend Chen Hongming is also an outer sect deacon. We currently have five outer sect deacons in Tinghai Pavilion. We will take better care of you if you serve as our outer sect deacons. You can get a certain amount of immortal cultivation resources every year. If you work for us, you can exchange them for contribution points and various immortal cultivation resources. In return, if Tinghai Pavilion has any instructions, your Han family must complete them as soon as possible. You must complete them."
To put it simply, Tinghai Pavilion gave some conveniences to the outer gate deacons, and the outer gate deacons fought for Tinghai Pavilion. Chen Hongming was one of the outer gate deacons. He invited other forces to besiege Huoyun Gate. Naturally, other forces understood that this was the intention of Tinghai Pavilion.
There are some things that Tinghai Pavilion is not convenient to deal with, so the outer sect steward will be asked to deal with them. If something really goes wrong, Tinghai Pavilion will naturally not admit it. If nothing goes wrong, Tinghai Pavilion will naturally reward them handsomely.
After hearing this, Han Changming understood that the outer sect stewards were there to help Tinghai Pavilion deal with matters that were inconvenient for it to deal with. For example, if Tinghai Pavilion took action personally during the siege of Huoyun Sect, it would certainly be able to destroy Huoyun Sect, but it would also create hatred and let the affiliated forces come forward. If something went wrong, Tinghai Pavilion could push all the responsibility away.
"Senior Lu, this matter is of great importance. Can you allow me to go back and think it over carefully?"
Han Changming pondered for a moment and asked cautiously.
It has not been long since he entered the foundation-building stage, but he is still in the early stage of foundation-building. Logically speaking, even if Tinghai Pavilion wants to appoint an outer sect deacon, it can let Han Zhangxiang serve as the outer sect deacon. There may be other hidden reasons in this, so Han Changming did not dare to agree immediately.
"No problem. If you win the competition, I promised you a generous reward. As long as your request is not too unreasonable, I can agree to it."
Han Changming thought about it carefully and said, "Senior, I want a 400-year-old Yuyang grass. You can buy it with spirit stones."
The only missing ingredient among the three main herbs is Yuyangcao.
"That won't work. Let's change the conditions. Yuyang grass is the main ingredient for refining the third-level elixir Yuyang Pill. This kind of spiritual grass is difficult to grow."
Han Changming hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I convert my contribution into contribution points and put them under my second brother's account?"
Han Changshuo's advancement to the foundation-building stage can provide greater help to the Han family and Han Changming. Tinghai Pavilion did not gain much benefit from Han Changming's victory, but Lu Yang personally got something. Lu Yang might not agree to excessive demands.
"Okay, 300 contribution points! If you become our Tinghai Pavilion's outer sect steward, you will immediately receive 1,000 contribution points."
Han Changming nodded. Three hundred contribution points were not a small number.
The Jindan cultivators escaped very quickly. Half a month later, Han Changming and others returned to Huludao.
They briefly recounted the events of the attack on Huoyun Sect. Upon learning that several clan members had died tragically, Han Zhangxiang let out a long sigh.
"Fortunately, Changming and you have returned safely. Changming, you won that island back. Tell me what you think."
Han Zhangxiang looked at Han Changming and asked.
"Patriarch, I think we can't take this island. Our territory is too far away from Huoyun Sect. If something happens, we won't be able to provide support in time. I think we can exchange it with Tinghai Pavilion and rent it a small island. If Tinghai Pavilion is unwilling, we can rent it to other forces and collect some rent."
Huoyun Sect and the Han family are more than 100,000 miles apart, which is too far to provide support in the event of an emergency. In any case, after this battle, Huoyun Sect and Tinghai Pavilion have become enemies. If Huoyun Sect goes to war with Tinghai Pavilion one day, the Han family's cultivators stationed on the island will definitely be eliminated by Huoyun Sect.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too. This island is too far away to support us, and it's right under the eyes of Huoyun Sect, so we can't take it."
"Patriarch, what do you think about the outer sect deacon? Why didn't Senior Lu appoint you as the outer sect deacon?"
Han Changming asked with some confusion.
Han Zhangxiang smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Tinghai Pavilion also appoints outer sect deacons based on their personalities. As far as I know, several outer sect deacons of Tinghai Pavilion are from cultivation families. They have family ties and dare not betray Tinghai Pavilion easily. Secondly, the strength of these families is not weak. Tinghai Pavilion is not interested in you personally, but in our Han family. In recent years, the number of foundation-building cultivators in our Han family has continued to increase, and the development momentum is good. That's why Lu Yang wants to appoint you as the outer sect deacon of Tinghai Pavilion."
