Wu Xueli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course, I promise there won't be a next time. You should bring as many spiritual stones as possible, and don't bring any other miscellaneous items. I heard from Master that there are abundant resources for cultivating immortals in the outer sea. As long as there are spiritual stones, even spiritual items for forming infants will be auctioned."
A look of surprise flashed in Han Changming's eyes, he was full of curiosity about the outer sea, but he did not expect that even infant spirit objects would be auctioned in the outer sea. No wonder Tinghai Pavilion wanted to recruit so many foundation-building monks to go to the outer sea.
After seeing Wu Xueli off, Han Daobin called Han Changjing and asked about the income of the family store.
"Chang Jiong, gather some spiritual stones as soon as possible. We will need them when we go to the outer sea. By the way, you can quietly tell Dehao that we are going to the outer sea."
Han Daobin instructed that the Chen family had been crippled and a foundation-building cultivator had been recruited by Tinghai Pavilion. Judging from the current situation of the Chen family, Chen Yuanhua had gained great power and had the hope of becoming the patriarch of the Chen family.
After this battle, Han Dehao probably won't be reused by the Chen family, but there will be no problem in passing on information.
Even if Han Dehao didn't say it, the Chen family would have received the news. After all, hearing the huge momentum of Haige this time, with dozens of foundation-building cultivators mobilized, it would be hard for other forces not to know.
"No problem, I'll do it right away."
Han Changjing agreed and turned to leave.
"We have to be more careful when we go to the open sea this time. I heard that the Sea Pavilion has recruited so many foundation-building monks to go to the open sea. It's not that simple."
Han Daobin's face was solemn. Tinghai Pavilion had a large number of foundation-building cultivators, but they wanted to recruit foundation-building cultivators from the immortal cultivation families. This was obviously to reduce the risk.
In the great war ten years ago, Tinghai Pavilion recruited several immortal cultivation families to join the war. The immortal cultivation families suffered heavy losses, and Tinghai Pavilion compensated them with at most one foundation-building pill. After the great war, not many foundation-building cultivators of Tinghai Pavilion were killed or injured.
This time going to the open sea, the situation might be even worse.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Be more careful in everything and stay the same in the face of change!"
After a while, Han Changjing came back and brought back 75,000 spirit stones and gave them to Han Daobin.
The next morning, Han Daojing received a message from Wang Yunzhong and went to the exit of the market town to gather.
They arrived at the exit of the market town and saw dozens of foundation-building cultivators. These cultivators had different expressions, some were confused, and some looked worried.
Many of them did not want to go to the open sea, but were forcibly conscripted by the Haige to go to the open sea.
After a while, Lu Yun arrived late. Her majestic gaze swept across the monks, and no one dared to breathe.
"Set off!"
Lu Yun shook her sleeves and strode out of the market. Wu Xueli and Wang Yunzhong followed her, and Han Changming and others followed her.
After leaving the market, Lu Yun slapped the spirit beast bag, and a white light flew out. It turned out to be a giant green python over ten feet long. There was a silver fleshy crest on the head of the green python. Judging from the aura, it was a third-level spirit beast.
Lu Yun jumped up first, followed by the others.
The giant green python's thick tail slapped the air and turned into a green light that broke through the air.
Han Changming looked at the increasingly smaller Kuixingfang Market, took a deep breath, and his gaze became more determined.
I don’t know when I will be back on this long journey, and I don’t know if I can meet the patriarch.
Not long after, the green light disappeared into the sky.

Caixia Island, meeting hall.
More than a dozen elders of the Chen family gathered together. The Chen family has been on a downward trend in recent years. This time, they lost three foundation-building cultivators, and the strongest Chen Hongming was also killed.
Since Chen Hongming entered the foundation-building stage, he has never been defeated and led the Chen family to glory. With the death of Chen Hongming, the Chen family declined.
They are selecting a new head of the family. Excluding the one Foundation Establishment cultivator who was recruited, the Chen family currently has four Foundation Establishment cultivators, namely Chen Yuheng, Chen Yuxin, Chen Yuanhua, and Chen Yuanjiao.
Chen Yuxin worshipped in Tinghai Pavilion. Strictly speaking, the Chen family only had three foundation-building cultivators. Chen Yuanjiao had been responsible for gathering intelligence, and the choice of the head of the family was between Chen Yuheng and Chen Yuanhua.
"Uncle Yuheng, you are highly respected, so you should be the head of the family and lead the family through this difficult time."
Han Desheng said sincerely that Chen Yuheng had been practicing in seclusion for many years and he didn't know how to manage the family at all, so Han Desheng was retreating to advance.
Chen Yuheng is in his early eighties, with a ruddy face and bright eyes. He has reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Over the years, he has never been in charge of anything and has been practicing in seclusion. Asking him to manage the family will only mess it up.
"I am not suitable to be the head of the family. Yuan Hua, you have been following the clan leader all these years. You should be the head of the family! Yuan Jiao has been in charge of gathering intelligence. She is not suitable either. You are the best candidate."
Chen Yuheng said without hesitation that everyone has their own expertise, and Chen Yuanhua is indeed the best candidate.
"Uncle Yuheng, I have no experience. The clan leader passed away suddenly. I don't know how to deal with the current situation."
Han Desheng's mouth was full of bitterness. The Chen and Yang families had fought each other, resulting in the death of eight foundation-building cultivators. Now the Chen family has been crippled, but the Yang family has been gathering strength over the years and has not suffered much loss in many battles. The Yang family is currently stronger than the Chen family.
"I heard that Haige has intervened. I don't think the Yang family will go too far. I'm just afraid that the Yang family and the Han family will unite, which will be the most troublesome."
When Chen Yuheng thought of this, he felt a headache. In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. After Chen Hongming's death, the Chen family was in a state of lack of successors. On the other hand, after Han Zhangxiang's death, the Han family still had Han Changming and Han Debiao.
"Aunt Yuxin works at Tinghai Pavilion. Even if the Han and Yang families join forces, it shouldn't be too much."
"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth! Yuanhua, you are the head of the family, you make the arrangements! The whole family will listen to you."
Chen Yuheng is not good at handling these things. The residences of the four immortal cultivation families, Han, Chen, Yang and Liu, are relatively close. The Han family and the Liu family have been in-laws for many years. The Chen family is now at odds with the Yang family, and it is difficult to find an ally. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
"Okay, give the order. Strengthen the alert and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. Take out the foundation-building pills stored in the clan and train a few more foundation-building cultivators as soon as possible."
Han Desheng said in a deep voice that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Once he has firmly established his position as the patriarch of the Chen family, there will be plenty of opportunities to bring benefits to the Han family.

Huludao, meeting hall.
Han Daojing sat on the main seat, and a gentle man in a green shirt sat beside him.
The man in green is called Yang Tianle. In the early stage of foundation building, he was the new head of the Yang family.
The Yang family still has five foundation-building cultivators, but two of them are hidden forces, leaving only three foundation-building cultivators in the open.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Yang family wants to deepen its relationship with the Han family to deal with the Chen family.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, this is settled. The wedding will be held next year."
Han Daojing smiled and said that Yang Tianle came this time for marriage proposal, and Han Daojing's great-granddaughter Han Benru would marry Yang Tianle's grandson.
The Han family will focus on supporting Han Benru's descendants, allowing them to climb to a high position in the Yang family, in preparation for the Han family's annexation of the Yang and Chen families in the future.
"Then it's settled, in-laws."
Yang Tianle's face was full of joy and he agreed.
If the Han and Yang families join forces, the Chen family will definitely not be their match. The Chen and Han families are sworn enemies, and if a fight really breaks out, the Chen family will definitely target the Han family.
The Yang family wants to use the Han family to deal with the Chen family. In return, the two families will strengthen cooperation, especially business cooperation, to suppress the Chen family. After all, with Tinghai Pavilion around, the two families dare not destroy the Chen family.
