Han Changming had just walked out of the attic when Jin Yaoyao came towards him with an expectant look on her face.
"How's it going! Fellow Daoist Han, did you get it?"
Jin Yaoyao asked.
If Han Changming couldn't exchange it for the Seven-Star Flying Spirit Crystal, she wouldn't be able to ask for the Nine-Yuan Soul-Replenishing Pill.
Han Changming nodded and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else!"
After returning to his residence, Han Changming took out a black jade box, handed it to Jin Yaoyao, and said, "Mrs. Jin, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission."
Jin Yaoyao took the jade box, opened it and saw three black pills inside, each with twelve dan patterns on its surface.
"Three top-grade Nine Yuan Soul-Replenishing Pills!"
Jin Yaoyao took a deep breath, her voice trembling and her expression excited.
Han Changming picked up the teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and said, "Madam Jin, I spent a lot of money to get the Seven-Star Flying Spirit Crystal. If you want the Nine-Element Soul-Replenishing Pill, you have to give me something good!"
Jin Yaoyao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course!"
She took out two exquisite jade boxes and a green jade slip and handed them to Han Changming.
Han Changming opened the two jade boxes, glanced at them, nodded and said, "Seventy thousand year old dry thunder grass and ice soul fungus, not bad."
He picked up the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Nine Yang True Spirit Pill! Ten Great Pills!"
Han Changming said in surprise.
The Nine Yang True Spirit Pill can increase the chances of a cultivator becoming a true spirit. It is one of the ten great elixirs and is made using a 200,000-year-old Nine Yang Ginseng as the main ingredient. The growth time of the Nine Yang Ginseng alone is enough to discourage most Mahayana cultivators.
“The third generation Grand Elder of our Tianyin Sect refined the Nine Yang True Spirit Pill, and with the help of other elixirs, he successfully cultivated into a true spirit. With the help of some treasures and formations, he successfully survived the nine nine thunder tribulations and ascended to the immortal world.”
Jin Yaoyao said.
This matter is a secret of the Tianyin Sect, but it happened so long ago that few outsiders know about it.
"Mrs. Jin, what exactly is a true spirit?"
Han Changming put away the jade slip, his face full of curiosity.
"Friend Han should know about physical cultivation!"
Jin Yaoyao said.
Han Changming nodded: "Of course I know, cultivators who specialize in cultivating their physical bodies are called physical cultivators! They are extremely powerful, and if a physical cultivator of the same level gets close to them, they will be in a lot of trouble."
Han Debiao is a physical cultivator who follows the path of breaking all laws with one force. After practicing the "Xuanhun Dafa", his strength has improved a lot.
"When a cultivator cultivates his body to the extreme and undergoes a qualitative change, it becomes a true spirit. Even the worst true spirit can resist Xuantian's treasure."
Jin Yaoyao explained.
"When the physical body is cultivated to the extreme, it becomes a true spirit? Are there many levels of true spirits?"
Han Changming asked curiously.
"In the early years, our Tianyin Sect obtained a book introducing true spirits from the fairy world. It took a lot of effort to translate the content. According to the introduction in the book, true spirits are divided into three levels: ordinary, top-level, and peak. It is said that the top-level true spirit can resist the lower-grade fairy weapons."
Jin Yaoyao's face was full of envy.
"In other words, you have to cultivate to become an ordinary true spirit first, then further to become a top-level true spirit, and finally to become a pinnacle true spirit?"
Han Changming continued to ask.
"That's true in theory, but the level of a cultivator's true spirit has something to do with his ancestors."
Jin Yaoyao explained.
"Is it related to our ancestors? Please explain in detail, Mrs. Jin."
Han Changming asked.
Jin Yaoyao nodded and explained: "The descendants of True Spirits who cultivate into True Spirits are just ordinary True Spirits. They can advance to Top-level True Spirits through acquired cultivation, or even cultivate into Peak True Spirits. The descendants of non-True Spirits who cultivate into True Spirits are Top-level True Spirits. This is walking their own path, while the former are walking the path of their ancestors. The gap between the two is not small."
"If a top-level True Spirit can withstand a lower-grade immortal weapon, then can it also withstand the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations?"
Han Changming asked.
"The power of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations is very strong. It is very risky for a top-level True Spirit to rely on the physical body to withstand it. Anyway, I have never seen it. However, he has cultivated into a top-level True Spirit. There are a few people in the lower realm who can be his opponent. It is not difficult to get some defensive treasures."
Jin Yaoyao said, her tone changed, and she continued: "According to the records in that fairy world book, the top level true spirit can withstand the lower level fairy weapon, but the power of the nine-nine thunder tribulation is very strong, so it is better to be fully prepared. If you have a defensive Xuantian treasure, you will be safe to survive the nine-nine thunder tribulation. However, the difficulty of refining the Xuantian treasure is too high. Just collecting Xuantian objects or materials will take a lot of time, not to mention refining it. I am dissatisfied with Fellow Daoist Han. Many generations of our Tianyin Sect’s supreme elders have wanted to refine the Xuantian treasure, but they all ended in failure."
"So, your sect has the method to refine the Xuantian Treasure?"
Han Changming asked.
“It used to be there, but it’s not there now!”
Jin Yaoyao said.
"What does this mean?"
Han Changming asked with a frown.
"We have had several internal conflicts in the Tianyin Sect, and some treasures and precious books have been taken away, including the method of refining the Xuantian Treasure. However, many Mahayana cultivators have come to this Tianyin Conference. Some of them should have the method of refining the Xuantian Treasure, or even something more precious. It depends on whether you can exchange it. In fact, this Tianyin Conference, in addition to exchanging cultivation experiences, also provides a platform for True Lord Yuxiao to collect materials for refining the Xuantian Treasure."
Jin Yaoyao said.
True Lord Yuxiao is a Mahayana cultivator who is proficient in the art of refining instruments and the art of music. He is a veteran Mahayana cultivator and has considerable fame in the Tianyin Star Domain.
"Internal strife! Jade Flute Master!"
Han Changming suddenly realized.
Compared with immortal cultivation families, immortal cultivation sects are indeed more prone to internal strife.
He remembered something and asked, "By the way, Mrs. Jin, have you ever heard of the Flying Fairy Treasure Ship?"
Jin Yaoyao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Han even knew about the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship. This is a treasure that is more advanced than a starship, and it is even more difficult to refine than the Xuantian Treasure."
"Madam Jin, have you seen the Flying Fairy Treasure Ship?"
Han Changming continued to ask.
"No, I read in the classics that more than three million years ago, there was a super sect called Wanguimen. The supreme elder refined the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship and the entire sect ascended to heaven. That's what the classics said, but I don't know the truth."
Jin Yaoyao said.
"Space-related treasures can also carry people, right? Why do we need to refine the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship?"
Han Changming asked in confusion.
"I don't think so. Otherwise, why would we refine the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship? Although the Cave Heaven Treasure is precious, it is not as valuable as the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship. The reason for this is that the Flying Immortal Treasure Ship itself is a high-level Cave Heaven Treasure with its own space. Its flying speed is faster than that of the flying Xuantian Treasure. It also has a certain defensive capability, which is not comparable to ordinary treasures."
Jin Yaoyao said.
Han Changming suddenly realized that this was just as he had guessed.
The classics of the Five Spirits Sect record a lot of information, but the things in the classics are dead after all, and the content is limited. Communicating with other Mahayana cultivators can greatly broaden one's horizons and obtain more information.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jin, for your guidance."
Han Changming said with a fist clasped.
"These are not secrets. If Fellow Daoist Han attends a few more gatherings of Mahayana cultivators, he will understand. Speaking of which, I should thank Fellow Daoist Han. If it weren't for your help in refining the Nine Yuan Soul-Replenishing Pill, I would not be able to make any further progress in my life."
Jin Yaoyao said gratefully.
The soul of a Mahayana cultivator is damaged, and it is very difficult to repair.
"Mrs. Jin, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."
Han Changming said modestly.
"It's a piece of cake for Fellow Daoist Han, but it's a blessing for me. If Fellow Daoist Han needs me in any way, please feel free to ask."
Jin Yaoyao promised.
She was speaking from the heart, but what made her say this was more because she admired Han Changming's alchemy skills.
Han Changming nodded and agreed.
After chatting for a while, Jin Yaoyao said goodbye and left.
Han Changming had a thoughtful expression on his face, and he said to himself: "Two hundred thousand years old Nine Yang Zhi!"
The Jade Dew of Creation can ripen spiritual medicines, but he has done experiments and found that a one-year-old spiritual medicine can be ripened to a maximum of 150,000 years. In other words, he must find a 50,000-year-old Nine Yang Ganoderma before he can ripen it to a 200,000-year-old Nine Yang Ganoderma and refine the Nine Yang True Spiritual Pill.
If the Jade Dew of Creation had no restrictions, he would not have to participate in the Tianyin Conference to find a spiritual wood that could be ripened to a million years old to refine a defensive treasure.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue came over, and Ye Xue's face was full of smiles.
"Husband, I got a bottle of Ten-Star Jade Zhi Dan in exchange."
Ye Xue said with a smile.
The Ten-Star Jade Zhi Pill can resolve the bottleneck of a fusion cultivator. What Ye Xue exchanged with other fusion cultivators using the Seventh-Rank Talisman was only a top-grade pill.
With a bottle of Ten-Star Yuzhi Pill, it is not a problem for her to resolve the bottleneck.
Han Changming looked delighted when he heard this.
"By the way, please keep an eye on these materials. If you get them, I can use them to refine the Nine Yang True Spirit Pill."
Han Changming took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin scanned it with her spiritual sense and handed it to Ye Xue.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming returned to the secret room to rest.
Early the next morning, Mu Sen came to Han Changming's residence and met Han Changming smoothly. The two went to the stone pavilion to drink tea and chat.
"Friend Han, a good friend of mine wants to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you?"
Mu Sen spoke up.
"Since he is a good friend of Fellow Daoist Mu, please invite him over!"
Han Changming agreed.
"Okay, I'll invite her in then."
Mu Sen turned and left.
Not long after, Mu Sen walked in with a plump young woman in a red dress.
"I, Du Hongxia, greet Fellow Daoist Han."
The young woman in the red dress bowed and spoke politely.
"Mrs. Du, please don't be so polite. Please take a seat."
Han Changming asked Du Hongxia to sit down and poured her a cup of steaming hot spiritual tea.
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, Du Hongxia said, "Fellow Daoist Han, I heard from Fellow Daoist Mu that you have mastered a child's art. I wonder if you can find the restriction?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned and looked at Mu Sen.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Han. Madam Du has no ill intentions. This is also a good thing for you."
Mu Sen explained.
Han Changming hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "It is true. What does this have to do with Madam Du's visit to me?"
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han has ever heard of the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus?"
Du Hongxia said.
"Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus? Isn't this an elixir?"
Han Changming said in surprise.
"That depends on how many years it has grown. Nine-color fairy lotus that is over 300,000 years old is a fairy medicine, and those under 300,000 years old are just spiritual medicines. The two are different. I know a place with nine-color fairy lotus that has grown for more than 100,000 years. After taking the lotus seeds, it can increase the chances of a cultivator cultivating into a true spirit. Fellow Daoist Han should know the benefits of a true spirit!"
Du Hongxia said meaningfully.
"Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus that's over a hundred thousand years old? The effect of the lotus seeds can't be that good!"
Han Changming said.
"If it grows to 200,000 years, the effect will naturally be better, but who can wait that long? In addition to me, there is another group of people who know the whereabouts of the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus, and they are also plotting to get the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus. I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Han to go to Tianyin Ruins together. As long as you help us avoid those restrictions, you don't have to worry about the rest. If you get the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus, we can give you lotus seeds. The amount depends on your contribution."
Du Hongxia said.
"Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus! Tianyinxu!"
Han Changming looked thoughtful. If he missed this opportunity, it would not be easy to get the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus again.
"How many fellow Taoists have you invited?"
Han Changming asked.
"Only if Fellow Daoist Han joins us can I tell you that the Tianyin Conference is over and we will set off immediately."
Du Hongxia said.
"I can go with you, but my people have to go with me. How do I know if you will play tricks? Three Mahayana people have to go with me."
Han Changming said.
"Three Mahayana monks? No, that's too many people. It's not that I don't trust Fellow Daoist Han, but since the Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus is involved, I have to use my own judgment and think two Mahayana monks at most."
Du Hongxia said.
Han Changming thought for a moment and said, "Two is enough, but we don't have much friendship, so how can I know whether what you said is true or false?"
"I can swear an oath on a forbidden book, every word of which is true."
Du Hongxia said seriously.
"That's not necessary. I want a few 60,000 to 70,000-year-old Nine Yang Mushrooms as a deposit. That's not too much, right?"
Han Changming said.
With the power of the Han family, it is still quite difficult to find the 50,000-year-old Nine Yang Ganoderma. Du Hongxia has a wide network of contacts and even knows Mu Sen, so perhaps there is a way to get the Nine Yang Ganoderma.
"Nine Yang Zhi!"
Du Hongxia was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I'll try my best to get it! I can't guarantee it."
Nine Yang Ganoderma has a wide range of uses. In addition to being used to refine the Nine Yang True Spirit Pill, it is also the main ingredient in refining a variety of eighth-level pills.
"With what Mrs. Du said, I believe there will be no problem."
Han Changming said with a smile.
He raised his teacup and said, "I'll use tea instead of wine. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Mu Sen and Du Hongxia raised their teacups and clinked glasses with Han Changming.
The three of them drank the tea in their cups and started chatting.
Han Changming inquired about the situation of another group of Mahayana cultivators and learned that they came from multiple star regions including the Tianhuo Star Region. He frowned and said, "Why don't you go in now? Do you have to wait until the Tianyin Conference is over?"
"Now is not the right time, otherwise we would have entered Tianyinxu. There is no need to waste time."
Du Hongxia explained.
Han Changming nodded, and after chatting for a cup of tea, Du Hongxia and Mu Sen said goodbye and left.
He took out the communication disk, contacted Han Debiao and Han Wenlong, and asked them to go to Shiting to discuss countermeasures.
Not long after, Han Debiao and Han Wenlong came over, and Ye Xin also came over.
Han Changming recounted what happened. Ye Xin frowned and said, "The Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus is indeed precious, but we are only in the early stage of Mahayana. They may not keep their promise."
