At the hour of You, the lights in Kuixingfang Market are bright as day, and the streets are crowded with people, making it very lively.
Han Changjing and Lu Yue were walking on the busy streets, both with happy expressions on their faces.
"Husband, is there anything happy? Look how happy you are."
Lu Yue asked casually.
"I can refine the Water Sword Talisman. After a while, I will tell the clan leader that I will officially marry you."
Han Changjing held Lu Yue's hand tightly, his face full of tenderness.
He worked hard on making talismans in order to gain recognition from other tribesmen. Most importantly, he wanted to give Lu Yue a status. Even if she was a concubine, it would be better than now, following him without any name or status.
Lu Yue was slightly stunned, bit her red lips tightly, and asked: "Husband, you have been working hard on making talismans for this matter?"
"Yes! I told you I would give you a home, and I will do what I say."
Han Changjing hugged Lu Yue's shoulders tightly and said with a smile.
Lu Yue's expression was a little complicated, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong? Madam, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Han Changjing asked with concern, looking a little nervous.
Lu Yue smiled and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to see if you care about me. I didn't make a mistake, you still care about me."
Han Changjing breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward with Lu Yue.
When passing by a robe shop, Han Changjing bought two sets of robes for Lu Yue. Lu Yue smiled and said nothing.
After a cup of tea, they arrived at the third floor of Fuyun Tea House. The door of a private room was wide open, and two men and one woman were drinking tea and chatting inside.
"Friend Liu, Friend Chen, Madam Sun, we are not too late!"
Han Changjing said politely and took Lu Yue to sit down.
"It's not too late. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Han selling us the second-level talisman, we wouldn't have been able to hunt monsters so smoothly."
A short and fat old man with a mustache said in a flattering tone that they often bought talismans from Han Changjing at relatively favorable prices.
"Yes! If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Han selling us the second-level talisman at a relatively cheap price, we would have died at the hands of the monster long ago."
A hot young woman in a green dress echoed in a passionate tone.
"Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoists. It's just a small favor. If you get anything good, please give priority to our Han family. The price is negotiable."
Han Changjiong's tone was sincere. He made friends with several independent cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, mainly hoping to use them to collect some resources for cultivation. Independent cultivators made a living by hunting monsters, and sometimes they would get some good things.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han, thanks to you, we actually got something good this time when we went out to sea."
The short and fat old man smiled mysteriously, took out a palm-sized green wooden box and handed it to Han Changjing.
Han Changjing opened the wooden box and saw a black stone inside. The black stone seemed to be missing a corner and was semicircular in shape. There were many runes faintly visible on the surface, which looked very strange.
He picked up the black stone and looked at it carefully, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
"Friend Han, you come from a family of immortal cultivators, so you must have seen the inheritance stone before!"
The young woman in green skirt smiled and joked that the children of immortal cultivation families systematically learn immortal cultivation knowledge since childhood, and their eyesight is much better than that of casual cultivators.
"Inheritance Stone? It looks a bit like that. If I'm not mistaken, there should be another one. Only when the two inheritance stones are combined together can the secret of the inheritance stone be known."
Han Changjing said with some uncertainty that before the ancient cultivators passed away, they would record everything they had learned in the inheritance stone. Generally speaking, only cultivators above the Jindan stage could make inheritance stones. The main reason was that inheritance stones were expensive and difficult to make, but they could be preserved longer.
It is difficult for independent cultivators in the foundation-building stage to even maintain their own cultivation, so it is unlikely to ask them to purchase inheritance stones to record everything they have learned.
"We thought so too, but we don't have a second inheritance stone, which means this thing is useless."
The short and fat old man said with a wry smile.
Han Changjiong's eyes turned and he said with a smile: "I want this thing. Please name a price, fellow Taoists! Even if we can't find another inheritance stone, it would be good to use it for research."
Without the second inheritance stone, the inheritance stone in his hand is equivalent to waste. However, if he can find the second inheritance stone, its value will skyrocket instantly.
"Five thousand spirit stones. We paid with our lives for this. We almost died at the hands of a second-level monster in order to obtain this inheritance stone."
Lu Yue picked up the teapot and poured tea for the three short and fat old men. She said with a smile, "Senior Liu, you are joking. If there is a second inheritance stone, ten thousand spirit stones are not too much. If you can't find the second inheritance stone, this inheritance stone is waste. To be honest with you, Senior Liu, we just bought an inheritance stone not long ago for only five hundred spirit stones. Your asking price of five thousand is too high."
"Madam Han, this is not the way to bargain. It's too harsh! Fellow Daoist Han also told us to give him priority, but now he's offering 500 yuan to buy a heritage stone. Do you think we are fools?"
The young woman in green skirt said with a cold face.
Han Changjiong knew that Lu Yue wanted to help him, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense. He quickly tried to smooth things over: "Madam Sun, please don't misunderstand. Madam, I was just being straightforward at the moment. But five thousand spirit stones are indeed too expensive. Two thousand at most. If you find another inheritance stone, I am willing to offer eight thousand spirit stones to buy it."
The short and fat old man frowned, looked at his two companions, and communicated through voice transmission.
"Two thousand is too low. Three thousand can't be any lower. We will divide it among the three of us, and each of us will get one thousand spirit stones. We can guarantee that if we get another inheritance stone, we will sell it to you. How do you think?"
The short and fat old man's eyes were sincere.
Han Changjing hesitated for a moment and agreed.
He paid the spirit stone and accepted the inheritance stone.
After the transaction was completed, both parties were very happy and drank tea and chatted.
The short and fat old man chatted for a while, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Han, we would like to buy a second-level high-quality puppet beast from you. I wonder if your Han family can sell it?"
The second-grade high-quality puppet beast is difficult to refine. Generally speaking, it can only be seen at auctions and is generally not available on the market. In the Red Algae Sea, the Huludao Han family is quite famous for its puppetry.
"Sorry, the second-level high-quality puppet beast is quite difficult to refine, so we are not selling it to the public for the time being."
Han Changjing declined politely. The Han family did not have many second-grade high-quality puppet beasts, not enough for their own use, let alone to sell.
The three short and fat old men were a little disappointed, but did not ask any further questions.
An hour later, there was a rapid muffled sound from Han Changjiong's arms. He took out a silver jade plate, gestured for a while, and frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, my three Taoist friends. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Madam, please accompany my three Taoist friends for me."
Han Changjing apologized and left in a hurry.
"What has this guy been busy with recently? Lu Yue, you should know!"
The short and fat old man asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. He won't tell me about business and family matters. I only know that he recently refined the Water Sword Talisman."
Lu Yue said truthfully.
The short and fat old man frowned and said, "What? He can already refine the Water Sword Talisman? How come his talisman-making skills have improved so quickly in such a short period of time?"
Lu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the Han family has increased the training of the talisman maker and provided him with a large amount of second-level talisman paper. With his diligent practice, he was able to successfully refine the Water Sword Talisman."
"Why did the Han family suddenly increase the training of talisman makers? As his bedmate, you should pay more attention and don't forget your mission. You don't really regard him as your husband, do you? If your identity is exposed, he will definitely kill you first."
The short and fat old man said meaningfully. From what he said, it seemed that Lu Yue was ordered to lurk beside Han Changjiong.
After hearing this, Lu Yue's expression changed slightly. She frowned and said, "I know my mission, but where is the antidote? I hope it won't extend the time again! Last time the poison took effect, he almost saw through me."
She was controlled by poison and had to obey orders. Han Changjing was indeed very good to her, but her life was not in her own hands and she had no choice.
The young woman in a green skirt took out a green porcelain bottle, handed it to Lu Yue, and said, "These two bottles of antidote are enough for you to use for a year. Don't play tricks. The Five Evil Poison is a mixture of five poisons. Unless he can invite a third-level alchemist, there is no hope of removing the Five Evil Poison in your body. The antidote can only delay the onset of the poison, but cannot remove the poison."
"I know what to do. I hope you will keep your promise. After the task is completed, please help me get rid of the Five Evil Poisons!"
Lu Yue put away the green porcelain bottle, stood up and left.
"Let her seduce that pervert Han Changjiong. She seems to be drawn into it and has been a little dishonest recently. I hope she won't tell the Han family about it!"
The young woman in green skirt frowned and said with some worry in her eyes.
They were plotting against the Han family's foundation-building cultivators. If the news leaked out, there would be huge trouble.
"She doesn't have the guts. Once her deeds are exposed, the Han family will be the first to not forgive her. The Five Evils Poison is not so easy to cure. The more antidotes she takes, the more poisoned she is. Even if we give her the antidote pills now, it is estimated that it will not be able to eliminate the Five Evils Poison in her body. The day Han Changjiong falls into the trap is the day she dies. She really thinks we will help her detoxify. She is hopelessly stupid."
The short and fat old man sneered with a look of disdain.
······
The Jinlong Sea is cloudless and the water is crystal blue.
A huge blue gourd flew quickly from high in the sky. Han Changming and others sat on the blue gourd with different expressions.
At their speed, they should be able to reach Golden Dragon Island.
"Not good, demon bird."
Han Changming frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked into the distance.
After taking several bottles of Nine Yuan Spirit Refining Liquid, his spiritual awareness is now comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he can detect the whereabouts of the demon bird in advance.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of black spots appeared in the distant sky and flew towards them quickly.
"Ninth brother, let's hide in that yellow island!"
Han Changying frowned slightly and pointed to a deserted island not far away and said that the island was dozens of miles in size, which was enough for them to hide.
Han Changming nodded, made a gesture, and the blue gourd glowed brighter. Its speed more than doubled as it flew towards the island.
A strange hissing sound came from the sky, and hundreds of red fireballs as big as fists shot out, aiming directly at Han Changming and others.
Hundreds of red fireballs came crashing down, but before they hit, an astonishingly high temperature hit us in the face.
Ye Xin pinched her fingers and suddenly, white ice blades appeared around her body. There were hundreds of them and they rushed towards the red fireball.
Boom!
A series of roars sounded, and the white ice blade and the red fireball collided and perished together.
There were a lot of red fireballs, and hundreds of white ice blades only defeated most of them. A small number of red fireballs continued to hit Han Changming and others.
Han Changying took out a palm-sized blue gourd and cast a spell. A blue misty water curtain flew out and blocked in front of him.
Dozens of red fireballs hit the blue water curtain one after another, like mud in the sea, without any sound at all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Changming and others landed at the foot of a mountain over a hundred feet high. There was a cave not far away. Han Changying commanded the tribesmen to rush into the cave to avoid the evil bird.
"You guys go in and hide, I'll deal with these beasts."
Han Changming ordered that there were only five second-level demon birds attacking, and he could handle them without any top-grade second-level demon birds. Most importantly, he wanted to test the power of the set of flying needles.
If you can't defeat them, just retreat back to the cave.
"Fifth sister, Eighteenth brother, you and your people should hide in the cave for a while! We want to test the power of a set of magic tools."
Ye Xin began to explain.
She knew that Han Changming had a set of flying needle magic weapons in his hands, and she could see that Han Changming wanted to test the power of this set of flying needle magic weapons.
Ye Xin would support whatever Han Changming wanted to do.
"Got it. Be careful and don't be careless."
Han Changying agreed. Their strength was relatively low and they could not help, but she still released two spider puppet beasts, ready to help at any time.
Han Changlu restrained his tribesmen and made them hide in the cave.
At this time, they also saw the true appearance of the demon birds. It was a group of red fire crows, more than forty of them. The leading Fire Crow King was only a mid-level second-grade one, equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Its advantage was that they had large numbers.
“Quack!”
The Fire Crow King flapped its wings and released dozens of red fireballs at Han Changming and the other two. The other Fire Crows followed suit.
Han Changming was not afraid at all. Yellow light shone from his body and a strong wind blew. Countless yellow gravel flew up and turned into a yellow tornado over ten feet high, heading towards the opposite side.
Boom!
After a series of roars, hundreds of red fireballs hit the yellow tornado one after another, and the yellow tornado broke into pieces, filled with smoke and dust.
"Sweep away the enemy."
Han Debiao shouted loudly, and the red stick in his hand glowed brightly, carrying a red flame, and smashed towards the red fire crow.
Ye Xin was not idle either. She took out a short white ruler and shook it lightly. Countless white cold air rushed out and suddenly turned into a three-meter-tall white ice sculpture.
The white ice sculpture spread its wings and swooped down towards the flock of fire crows.
Before the white ice sculpture rushed into the flock of fire crows, it was hit by a dozen red fireballs and its body was shattered into pieces.
The red stick was as powerful as a rainbow, knocking down several red fire crows.
Before the Fire Crow King could take other measures, the sky suddenly darkened.
