Not long after, they appeared in the meeting room. Han Daojing, Han Daobin, Han Deling and Han Delei were all there. As for Han Daoguo and Han Daoxiu, they were not in Huludao. As the hidden force of the family, Han Daoguo and Han Daoxiu would not easily show up in front of people. They were in another sea area, practicing in seclusion.
Han Changxin asked Han Changlu for advice on alchemy, Han Changying was teaching his clansmen how to refine weapons, Han Changwu was in charge of Qingbie Market, and Han Debiao was practicing in seclusion.
"Everyone is here. De Ling, tell everyone what happened in detail."
Han Daojing gave instructions to Han Deling.
Han Deling recounted the entire story in detail. The mastermind behind Lu Yue was preparing to take action against Han Changjiong, but the exact time was unknown.
"Chang Jiong's talisman-making skills are constantly improving. He is already able to refine a second-level mid-grade talisman. The enemy is likely to be our family's business competitor. The Chen family is also a suspect, but the suspicion of the Chen family is not great."
As it concerns Han Desheng, Han Deling is not in a position to say more, but from her investigation, the probability that the Chen family is the mastermind is very low.
"Could the real culprit behind this be another shop selling talismans? There aren't many talisman shops in Kuixingfang City. Haven't you found any clues from this aspect?"
Han Daobin frowned and said, the world is bustling with people coming and going for profit, the other party must have murdered Han Changjing for profit.
"No, we have already checked it. The scope is too large to identify the real culprit. The Zhao family and the Li family are suspects, but our business is not big and we cannot compete with them. We can only say that they are suspects, but there are too many suspects, more than a dozen."
Han Deling shook her head and said that if they followed the line of investigation into competitors, there would be too many suspects to check them all.
"Or we can bring Chang Jiong back. His talisman-making skills are only second to Chang Wu's. Nothing can happen to him."
Han Delei thought for a moment and suggested.
"In this case, Lu Yue will definitely die without the antidote. Moreover, the enemy is targeting our family. If someone else goes to Kuixing Market, they will still be targeted. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not found, this matter will not be resolved. I think it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole."
Han Changming has a different opinion. In his view, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is better to take this opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.
But he had to think of a suitable reason. Han Changjing had always been cautious. If he suddenly left the market town in a swagger, even a fool would know that there was something wrong.
You have to find a reason that the enemy can believe, otherwise you will not only fail to lure the snake out of its hole, but will instead alert it.
Han Daojing thought for a moment and said, "How about this! Let's build a fake ancient cultivator's cave, and let Chang Jiong go treasure hunting. If they don't believe it, that's fine. It will allow Brother Nineteen to gain the trust of the Chen family. There will always be a force that will be fooled. If this plan fails, we can think of other ways."
Han Changming and others agreed that this trap was too straightforward and the enemy might not believe it, but they could use this opportunity to allow Han Dehao to gain the trust of the Chen family.
"As soon as the other party gave Lu Yue an order, Chang Jiong immediately discovered the ancient cultivator's cave. Even a fool would know the problem. Let's wait half a year before we talk about it! Tell Chang Jiong to be careful. No matter what happens, don't leave the market. As long as he doesn't leave the market, his life will not be in danger."
Han Deling added that it would be great if the real culprit behind Lu Yue's manipulation could be eliminated with the help of the Chen family, but the operation would be too difficult.
Han Changming was unable to give a better suggestion, and the same was true for others. The enemy would attack Han Changjiong in the near future, and they had no time to make any plans. The Han family had previously considered making plans to lure the snake out of its hole, but Han Changjiong rejected this idea. He was worried that the matter would be exposed, and Lu Yue would die of the poison without the elixir to delay the onset of the poison. The most important point was that the Han family did not know the enemy's background, and Han Changming and many other foundation-building cultivators were not in the red algae sea. If a giant python was lured out, it would probably eat them.
Now that Han Changming and others are back, they can use the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole.
"Okay, all of you go back! Don't spread this matter outside. If you have any good ideas, tell me immediately."
Han Daojing ordered them to leave, but Han Changming, Ye Xin and Han Daobin did not leave.
"Chang Ming, Ye Xin, are you okay? Have you come up with any good ideas?"
Han Daojing asked in a friendly manner that in order to carry out the plan of luring the snake out of its hole, Han Changming was indispensable. Han Daojing was in the late stage of foundation building, but his strength was in arranging formations. His experience in fighting was not very strong. If he set up a formation, Han Changming would not be his opponent. If they met halfway, he would not be Han Changming's opponent.
Han Changming smiled slightly, took out a white porcelain bottle, handed it to Han Daojing, and said with a smile: "Uncle Daojing, didn't the family collect the materials for refining foundation-building pills? I successfully refined two foundation-building pills, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission."
"What? You refined the foundation-building pill?"
Han Daojing took a deep breath and exclaimed, his hands beginning to tremble.
If Han Changming could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would mean that the Han family had entered a new stage of development. Being able to produce the Foundation Establishment Pill on their own would allow the Han family to save a large amount of spirit stones, which would be of great significance.
Han Daojing's eyes lit up and his face became excited. He snatched the white porcelain bottle and poured out two light blue pills from it. The blue pills gave off a refreshing fragrance.
“Foundation Building Pill, it’s really a Foundation Building Pill! Haha, may God bless our Han family. No, may our ancestors bless us. Haha, may our ancestors bless us.”
Han Daobin was ecstatic and laughed wildly.
Han Daojing was overjoyed and looked very excited.
Ye Xin already knew about this, so her reaction was relatively calm.
Seeing Han Daojing and Han Daobin's excited reactions, Han Changming smiled. When he had just refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, his reaction was not much better than Han Daojing's.
There are many ways to build a foundation, and there are even a few Qi-refining cultivators who can build a foundation without taking foundation-building pills. However, most Qi-refining cultivators enter the foundation-building stage by taking foundation-building pills. Foundation-building pills are controlled by major forces all year round and will not flow out easily, which leads to the high price of foundation-building pills. Foundation-building pills can usually only be seen at auctions.
"Changming, you've done well. You've suffered a lot these years. You've been running around for the family, but you're still in the middle stage of foundation building. De Biao and Ye Xin have both advanced to the middle stage of foundation building. Just focus on your cultivation! Leave Chang Jiong's affairs to us. These two foundation building pills will be converted into contribution points for you to use to exchange for immortal cultivation resources."
Han Daojing's face was peaceful. Han Changming had remained in the middle stage of foundation building for more than 20 years. Both for public and private reasons, he should be allowed to practice in seclusion with peace of mind. There was not only one Han Changming in the Han family, there were others as well.
"Yes! Changming, just focus on your training! We will help you take care of Benfu and the others."
Han Daobin agreed. If nothing else, just because Han Changming was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Han family would not allow Han Changming to do anything dangerous.
As long as Han Changming is safe and sound and has the materials to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, Han Changming can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill continuously, and the Han family will continue to produce Foundation Establishment cultivators.
With the Han family's current territory and economic strength, it is extremely difficult for the Han family to support more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators. However, the more foundation-building cultivators there are, the more confident the Han family will be when dealing with various crises, and the more benefits they can gain.
This is a virtuous cycle. In this case, keeping Han Changming means ensuring the future development of the Han family.
"Uncle Daojing, I have hit a bottleneck now. Blindly practicing hard will not resolve the bottleneck. I hope to take this opportunity to resolve the bottleneck."
Han Changming explained with a wry smile that he had been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for more than 20 years. He urgently hoped to resolve the bottleneck as soon as possible, but it was hard to say what the bottleneck was. If he was unlucky, he would never be able to break through in his lifetime. If he was lucky, he would break through in a few years.
Han Changming was unsure. Generally speaking, the best way to resolve the bottleneck was a life-and-death battle or hunting monsters. There were not many second-level monsters in the Red Algae Sea, and there was only one life-and-death battle left. This time was a good opportunity.
Han Daojing frowned. He didn't know that Han Changming was stuck at a bottleneck. He thought that Han Changming was busy dealing with clan affairs, which delayed his own cultivation. Now it seems that this is not the case.
He asked Han Changming about his daily practice. Han Changming did not hide anything and answered truthfully, but he concealed the existence of the Suzaku Pendant.
"You spent a lot of time refining the second-level elixir in the Golden Dragon Sea. Many alchemists will encounter this situation. After staying in the cave for a long time to refine the elixir and practicing in seclusion, they find that they have reached a bottleneck. The best way is to fight to the death. Forget it, let you participate! But I have to send more people to protect you. You are now shouldering the responsibility of the future rise of the family, so you can't be careless at all."
Han Daojing said with some concern that since Han Changming was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, his wealth and status would rise rapidly, and the Han family would never allow anything to happen to Han Changming.
"Yes! Changming, you must protect yourself better in the future. The hope of our Han family's revitalization lies in you."
Han Daobin's expression was serious. Producing foundation-building pills on their own was a common feature of all big forces. In his eyes, a big force was naturally one that had Jindan cultivators in charge. As for Yuanying, there hadn't been a Yuanying cultivator in the Red Algae Sea so far. The main reason was that there weren't many resources for cultivating immortals in the Red Algae Sea. If one wanted to form a Yuanying, one had to have a Yuanying spiritual object, and a Yuanying spiritual object wasn't so easy to get.
"Uncle Daobin, you are serious. My seventeenth brother and eighteenth sister are both very good. Given time, they will also be able to refine foundation-building pills."
Han Changming said this modestly. He only said this, but he actually knew very well that without the help of spiritual water, he would not be able to refine the foundation-building pill.
"They are still young, and their alchemy skills are not as good as yours. In short, you must be careful and protect yourself, and don't act impulsively."
Han Daojing taught patiently. In his eyes, Han Changming's safety was related to the future of the Han family, and he did not want to see Han Changming get into trouble.
Han Changming smiled and nodded and agreed.
After chatting for more than half a quarter of an hour, Han Changming left and took Ye Xin back to his residence.
"My dear, if we can get the third-level demon pill, we will have the foundation-building pills that Benzhi and Benyong need."
Ye Xin said excitedly that Han Benfu had dual spiritual roots, so it was a foregone conclusion that she would advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, it was not certain for Han Benzhi and Han Benyong, as they only had triple spiritual roots. You know, Han Debiao failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill. In the history of the Han family, two members of the clan took two Foundation Establishment Pills but also failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After all, the Foundation Building Pill is an auxiliary thing. It does not mean that you will definitely advance to the Foundation Building Stage after taking the Foundation Building Pill.
"They are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and it is still too early for them to establish their foundation. In fact, they are not young anymore, and it is time for them to be sent out to work. Flowers in a greenhouse cannot grow up."
Being overly partial to children is not a good thing. Han Benzhi and Han Benyong rarely leave Huludao.
"Didn't my sister tell me? In a few months, it will be the 100th birthday of the Patriarch of the Mu family. Let's go and celebrate his birthday together. Take them with us and let them gain more experience. It won't be too late to send them out later. They have no experience at all. It will be a disaster for them if they are sent out directly."
If it were Ye Xue, she would definitely not have any objection, but Ye Xin had her own opinion. She did not spoil her two sons, but before sending them out, she thought she could take them to see more and improve their experience.
Han Benfu has dual spiritual roots, so foundation building is a foregone conclusion. Before she advances into the foundation building stage, she cannot leave Huludao casually.
"That's what I thought, too. Let's solve Seventh Brother's problem first! I hope that Seventh Brother will be lucky and nothing will happen to him."
Han Changming sighed lightly. He and Han Changjiong had not seen each other for more than 20 years. When he first arrived at Kuixingfang Market, Han Changjiong helped him a lot.
In the following month, in addition to supervising his children's cultivation, Han Changming spent most of his time instructing Han Changxin and Han Changlu in refining second-level elixirs. With Han Changming's guidance and a large amount of material practice, Han Changxin made rapid progress.
A month later, she was able to refine two second-level pills with a success rate of about 20%. This did not meet the standards of a second-level alchemist, but Han Changxin was already very happy. There is no shortcut to alchemy, and it requires hard work and practice.
On this day, Han Changming, Ye Xin, Han Daobin, Han Deling, Han Delei and Han Daojing gathered in the conference room, their expressions solemn.
According to the original opportunity, so many people would not have been needed, but Han Changming's status is no longer what it used to be. Han Daojing was worried about his safety, so he sent several foundation-building cultivators to accompany him and protect Han Changming's safety.
"Be careful on the road. Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure Chang Ming's safety. His safety is the most important."
Han Daojing's expression was solemn. If Han Changming had not been stuck at a bottleneck, he would not have been willing to let Han Changming fight a life-and-death battle with other cultivators.
"Got it, Uncle Daojing, we will act carefully and leave the clan to you."
Han Changming agreed without hesitation. The purpose of their trip this time was to deal with the enemy who controlled Lu Yue.
"Don't worry! I will help you take care of your wife and children."
Han Daojing waved his hand with a determined look.
Han Changming took out a green gourd and chanted a spell. The green gourd instantly grew larger and flew out of the conference hall carrying five foundation-building monks.
