"Patriarch, the family currently has 310 cultivators and 450,000 mortals. We have added 11 new cultivators, one of whom is from the mortal world. Their parents have already been rewarded."
The Red Algae Sea is rich in monster resources. Immortal cultivators will not stay on islands without spiritual veins for a long time. Mortals live on islands with spiritual veins. Immortal cultivators set up formations on the islands to protect mortals. However, when mortals go out fishing, they are sometimes attacked by monsters. It is impossible for immortal cultivators to go out to sea with mortals every time.
Generally speaking, immortal cultivators patrol the sea area regularly and kill monsters and beasts, which can greatly reduce casualties among mortals. In addition to monsters and beasts, there are also natural disasters such as wind and rain.
A small Tianfeng can be broken by relying on the island protection formation. A big Tianfeng will make even the foundation-building cultivators have to run away if they encounter one.
Decades ago, a strong wind passed through the red algae sea and the territory of a family of immortal cultivators named Song. After the wind passed, no grass grew, no one was left alive, and all the property of the Song family was swept away by the wind.
Han Changming had guessed the origin of the Soul Gathering Stone. Soul Gathering Stones were often used to set up high-level formations. Normally, Soul Gathering Stones would not appear on islands. Perhaps a strong wind passed through some ruins and took away a Soul Gathering Stone, which then fell on the desolate island and was accidentally obtained by Han Changming.
Han Deguang manages the Spirit Beast Hall and is responsible for the breeding of spirit beasts, insects and birds.
"Chief, our clan has a total of fifty-one spiritual birds, four second-level spiritual birds, forty-five spiritual beasts, three second-level spiritual beasts, three hundred and twenty-five spiritual insects, three second-level spiritual insects. This year, we have added five spiritual birds, seven spiritual beasts, and fifty-two spiritual insects."
The Han family has settled in the Red Algae Sea for more than 600 years and has remained standing for 600 years. Their foundation is not comparable to that of an ordinary small family.
The six hall masters of the Demon Hunting Hall, Weapon Refining Hall, Talisman Hall, and Alchemy Hall stood up one after another, reported on the situation of the halls they were in charge of, and handed the account books to other clansmen for review.
Currently, the family has 620 acres of spiritual fields, which are distributed on 22 small islands. In fact, there are not many. These 600 acres of spiritual fields are all family fields, and there are also personal private fields. After Han Changming entered the foundation-building period, he had 20 acres of private land. The family will send people to cultivate it, and the income will belong to Han Changming, which is regarded as a benefit for foundation-building cultivators.
The Han family currently has eleven stores, located in Qingbie Market, Kuixing Market, and Shark Market. The store with the most profit is the weapons store.
The Red Algae Sea is rich in immortal cultivation resources and has a large number of immortal cultivators. The Han family's puppet beast is well-known in the Red Algae Sea. Apart from that, other things of the Han family are not well-known. This is also normal. Every immortal cultivation family has its own strengths.
"Alchemy has always been our family's weakness. I plan to increase the training of alchemists and select five Qi Refining Stage clan members with alchemy talent to focus on training."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice that in the battle with Huoyunmen, the Han family obtained the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill. As long as there are second-level alchemists and materials, the Han family can try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Being able to produce Foundation Establishment Pills on one's own is an important yardstick for measuring a family's heritage, and it is also a necessary condition for a family of immortal cultivators to grow and develop. If the Han family cannot produce Foundation Establishment Pills on their own, they will have to purchase them from other forces at a high price. The Han family's two years' profit is enough to purchase one Foundation Establishment Pill, and taking Foundation Establishment Pills does not guarantee that one will advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Han Debiao is a living example.
Han Changming nodded and said, "I agree, clan leader, but I think we are lacking experienced alchemists. A good teacher produces good students. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, it will be quite difficult for us to train alchemists with high alchemy skills."
Can you teach yourself with just books and materials? There is no need for casual cultivators to hunt monsters. Just buy a few books and practice on your own. Why do you need to find a master? Whether it is a cultivation family or a cultivation sect, they all attach great importance to inheritance. What is inheritance? The elders lead the younger generations, and the skills are passed on to someone. This is inheritance.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that classics are useless, but with the guidance of a famous teacher, you will make greater progress.
"I know this too. Help Chang Shuo build his foundation first. He is an alchemist. When he advances to the foundation building stage, ask him to ask a second-level alchemist to teach you how to make pills. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for you to figure it out on your own. Of course, your top priority right now is to practice hard. Cultivation is the foundation."
Han Zhangxiang warned meaningfully that Han Changming had been too popular in recent years, and that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Han Zhangxiang planned to let Han Changming practice in seclusion for a few years to temper his temper.
Han Changming also had this plan. It would be too difficult for him to figure things out on his own without the guidance of a famous teacher.
"The appearance of Jindan cultivators in Huoyun Sect has disrupted the balance. A war is inevitable in the future. In addition, according to reliable information, the cultivation world in the East China Sea is not peaceful and there may be a war. The more cultivators in the family, the better. We need to accumulate more strategic materials. Once a war breaks out, the consumption of talismans and elixirs will be huge. In the future, the family will focus on training alchemists and talisman makers and increasing the number of talisman makers and alchemists."
Han Zhangxiang had a sharp eye. This time, a Jindan cultivator appeared in Huoyun Sect and temporarily repelled the invading enemy, but the delicate balance of the Red Algae Sea was also broken.
You know, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. There are only so many resources for cultivating immortals in the Red Algae Sea. With the support of the Jindan cultivators, the Huoyun Sect will definitely grow and develop.
If Han Zhangxiang was a Jindan cultivator of Huoyun Sect, he would definitely cooperate with the Lu family and use the power of the Lu family to develop and grow stronger. The Lu family's alliance with Huoyun Sect would give them more say. Before this, the Lu family was the weakest among the four major forces.
This will inevitably affect the interests of Tinghai Pavilion, Qingyun Sect and Taixu Sect. If the three major sects do not deal with Huoyun Sect and the Lu family, the Lu family and Huoyun Sect will grow stronger and deal with the three major sects. This is inevitable.
Once the war starts, a lot of talismans and elixirs will surely be consumed. The Han family must prepare in advance to minimize their own losses as much as possible, while also making a fortune from it.
Han Changming was secretly surprised. The old man was very wise and the patriarch could see far into the future. This was just the patriarch's analysis and did not mean that a war would really break out. In any case, it would be a good thing to train more tribesmen who mastered skills.
After the meeting, Han Zhangxiang kept Han Changming, Han Daobin and Han Deling and asked Han Changming in a friendly manner:
"Changming, do you know why I want to train a few more alchemists and talisman makers?"
Han Daobin and Han Deling looked at each other. They could see that Han Zhangxiang regarded Han Changming as his successor.
Han Changming thought for a moment and said, "Apart from the war, alchemy and talisman making have always been the shortcomings of our family. As for formations, they require a solid foundation. The clan leader wants to make up for these two shortcomings."
"Why didn't I make up for this shortcoming before? I have to make up for it now."
Han Zhangxiang continued to ask, staring at Han Changming.
"It's not that we don't want to make up for it. The clan leader has been working on it. We were just laying the groundwork. Training alchemists and talisman makers requires a lot of immortal cultivation resources. It's not realistic to train them in a short period of time. In addition, they need famous teachers to teach them. Without famous teachers, it's too difficult to cross the river by feeling the stones on your own. Since the clan leader thought of asking the second brother to help introduce a second-level alchemist to guide his grandson, there must be a way to invite a second-level talisman maker with high talisman making skills to guide the clan members."
Han Changming pondered for a while and spoke slowly.
Han Zhangxiang nodded in satisfaction and taught: "That's right, Changming, you have to remember to think twice before doing anything. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Moisturizing things silently, understand?"
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Zhangxiang waved his hand and let Han Changming leave.
"Changming is a good kid. I plan to train him to be the successor of the family. What do you think?"
Han Zhangxiang looked at Han Daobin and Han Deling and asked in a deep voice.
Han Daobin and Han Deling are of higher seniority than Han Changming, but their strength is not as good as Han Changming. The most important thing is that Han Changming is younger, so it is better for him to be the helmsman of the family.
"Changming is a smart kid, but he is still young and needs more guidance."
"Yes! This kid has been too popular in recent years. He needs to temper his character."
Han Zhangxiang nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
