"There is always a mountain higher than the other. In the Red Algae Sea, Tinghai Pavilion was the one who gave orders. I didn't expect that after going to the outer sea, Tinghai Pavilion became someone else's subordinate force."
Han Delei sighed.
Ye Xin frowned and asked, "Second brother, is there not enough disciples in Tinghai Pavilion? Do you want to recruit 20 cultivators from the Xiuxian family?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that during one of our sect's missions, we lost more than 30 foundation-building cultivators. If we don't recruit a group of foundation-building cultivators from the immortal cultivation families, and suffer another loss, our sect will not be able to develop in the outer seas."
Han Changshuo looked solemn and explained slowly.
"More than thirty foundation-building monks were killed? What happened?"
Han Changming frowned and asked. This was not good news. It meant that the situation in the outer sea was worse than he had imagined.
Han Changshuo shook his head and said, "I also heard it from Senior Brother Zhao. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, opportunities and risks coexist in the offshore. If you seize the opportunity, you may soar to the sky. If you don't seize the opportunity, you may die."
"The situation in the outer sea is worse than we imagined. Don't be dazzled by the abundant resources for cultivating immortals. We should be more careful in everything and not leave the market or the station alone."
Han Daobin warned in a serious tone that he was the oldest and should take good care of the clan members.
"By the way, Uncle Daobin, I haven't been back for a long time. I hope everything is going well in the clan!"
Han Changshuo suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.
He left the red algae sea for more than 20 years and never returned.
Han Daobin and the other four looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They also did not expect to meet Han Changshuo here.
Han Changshuo is a disciple of Tinghai Pavilion, and he is also a member of the Han family. Tell him! But I am worried that he will accidentally let it slip. After all, he follows Lu Yang. If I don’t tell him! It’s not right.
"It's pretty good in the clan. A few years ago, a war broke out among the five major forces in the Red Algae Sea. De Biao shined, and our Han family received a lot of rewards."
Han Daobin passed it over vaguely without elaborating.
Han Changshuo learned that his clan was doing well and asked about his parents' situation. His parents were doing well.
"I have to go back and report to Master Lu, so I won't talk to you any more. By the way, don't buy sea charts here. They are all trying to deceive cultivators who don't understand the market. The items are real, but they are expensive. When you get to the outer sea, the sect will distribute them to everyone. Don't buy things recklessly and save your spirit stones. When you get to the outer sea, there are many places where you can use spirit stones."
Han Changshuo gave some instructions, then stood up and left.
"We know too little about the outer seas. Let's go out and take a look around! See if we can increase our understanding of the outer seas. Don't waste your spirit stones."
Han Daobin instructed that Fire Toad Island could be teleported to the open sea, where there were cultivators active in the open sea. If they took a look around, they might find unexpected gains.
After leaving their residence, Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue strolled on the street.
The goods sold in the shops on both sides are all from the outer sea, including demon pills, refining materials, spirit beasts, etc. There are also many strange and weird things.
Not long after, Han Changming and the other two walked into a store called Xu's Grocery Store. On the shelves were some colorful conchs and shells, as well as refining materials. The shopkeeper was an old man in his early seventies in a green robe. He had a goatee and a shrewd look on his face.
"The three seniors have come at the right time. Our store has just received a batch of anti-aging cream. This cream was shipped back from the outer sea. It was made by the Three Immortals Island. Apply it on your body to keep you young forever."
The old man in green robe smiled and took out an exquisite green jade box.
"No, we're just looking around."
Ye Xue declined politely. She was used to being frugal and was reluctant to spend spirit stones.
Han Changming took the jade box, opened it and saw that it contained a light green ointment that gave off a strange fragrance.
"Humph, aren't you afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind? Everything is linked to eternal youth. It's because of unscrupulous merchants like you that our business is becoming increasingly difficult."
A sarcastic male voice suddenly sounded.
After hearing this, the smile on the old man in green robe's face froze instantly. He was furious. He had finally got a customer, and now someone wanted to ruin his business.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat man in green clothes. He had a round face, small eyes, and was dressed like a local tycoon. However, judging from his aura, he was obviously a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
The old man in green robe smiled awkwardly and did not dare to refute.
"My name is Tan Mingyu. I am grateful to you all for your respect. I am doing a small business in the outer sea. Changchun Paste has long been out of sale in Sanxian Island. This thing is not very effective. I have Zhuyan Pill for sale. If you three Taoists are interested, I am willing to sell it."
The man in green shirt said enthusiastically, with two beautiful ladies accompanying him, he was certainly not short of money.
"Rejuvenation Pill? There are a lot of these in the open sea?"
Han Changming had a strange look on his face. The outer sea had abundant resources for cultivating immortals, but they wouldn't sell the Rejuvenating Pill in bulk!
"Of course not. If you are interested, let's talk about it in detail."
Tan Mingyu made a gesture of invitation and spoke politely.
Han Changming thought about it for a moment and agreed. After all, there wouldn't be any danger in the market.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the four of them appeared in a private room of a teahouse.
Tan Mingyu took out an exquisite teapot, took out some light silver tea leaves from it, and brewed the tea himself, with the aroma of tea filling the air.
He poured a cup for each of the four people and said with a smile, "I haven't asked yet, what is your name, fellow Taoist?"
"My last name is Hu."
Han Changming's tone was indifferent. He naturally wouldn't say too much to a stranger.
"So it's Brother Hu. These are two Rejuvenating Pills of high quality. I bought them from an underground auction in Sanxianfang City."
Tan Mingyu took out a green jade bottle and handed it to Han Changming.
The outer sea is rich in resources for cultivating immortals. Most cultivators make a living by hunting monsters. There are also cultivators who do business, buying low and selling high. Tan Mingyu is one of them.
As long as the goods are safely transported back to the market, the profits will be considerable.
Han Changming poured out a light green pill from the porcelain bottle, and the pill exuded waves of refreshing fragrance.
He examined it carefully and found that the color, aroma and taste were exactly the same as the anti-aging elixir recorded in ancient books.
Tan Mingyu could even get hold of the Rejuvenating Pill. I don’t know whether to say that the outer seas are rich in resources for cultivating immortals, or that he is just capable.
"Fellow Daoist Tan, I want these two anti-aging pills. Name your price."
Han Changming had no shortage of spirit stones, and since it was a rare opportunity to sell the Rejuvenating Pill, he was willing to buy some for his two ladies.
"The Youth Pill is made with a third-level demon pill as the main ingredient and a variety of hundred-year-old spiritual medicines as auxiliary ingredients. I bought it for eight thousand spiritual stones, but I'm not selling it, I'm only exchanging it."
Tan Mingyu looked serious. He kept staring at Han Changming, but Han Changming didn't even frown. This showed that eight thousand spirit stones were not a big number for Han Changming.
"I only buy, I don't exchange."
Han Changming's tone was firm. He and Tan Mingyu had just met by chance, so naturally he would not exchange things with him casually.
Tan Mingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, then you can give me 8,500 spirit stones! Just treat it as making a friend. When you go to the outer sea, you can ask people about me."
"Friend Tan, didn't we say we were going to the open sea?"
Ye Xin said with a frown, looking a little unhappy.
"I forgot to tell you. Just now when you entered Huochan City, I saw so many foundation-building cultivators appearing here. They were naturally going to the outer sea. I have no ill intentions. When you get to the outer sea, you can ask others about me. I, Tan Mingyu, am an honest businessman."
Tan Mingyu said with a smile.
Han Changming nodded, and Ye Xue understood what he meant. She paid the spirit stones and accepted the Rejuvenating Pill.
"Friend Tan, excuse me, what do you mainly do in the open sea?"
Han Changming asked curiously, Han Zhangxiang will also go overseas to develop, maybe he can cooperate with Tan Mingyu.
"As long as it's a business that can earn you spirit stones, I'll do it. I can be a guide, sell martial arts manuals, sell intelligence, etc. If you have a job that can earn you spirit stones, you must give priority to me, Tan. I guarantee that I'll do it beautifully and you'll be satisfied."
Tan Mingyu's tone was sincere.
Han Changming smiled and asked about the situation in the outer sea. Tan Mingyu talked a lot about the outer sea, especially the situation of the four major forces.
The Righteous Alliance has a wide range of business operations, selling magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, monster materials, etc.
The spiritual beasts sold on Sanxian Island are quite famous, and they also have some unique elixirs and ointments that are quite well-known in the open sea.
The HSBC Business Alliance is a pure chamber of commerce organization and rarely intervenes in offshore battles. Penglai Island is the oldest and most powerful force, with both good and evil forces.
Tan Mingyu was a chatterbox. For every one Han Changming asked, he could say twenty sentences. He talked until his mouth was dry and he drank five cups of spiritual tea in a row, but Han Changming and the other two didn't drink a single sip.
A burst of rapid shrill sounds rang out, and Tan Mingyu took out a glittering green magic disk from his arms and entered a spell. He frowned and said to Han Changming, "Fellow Daoist Hu, I still have things to deal with. See you next time if we are lucky enough."
Tan Mingyu got up and left, and Han Changming and the other two followed him.
After leaving the teahouse, they strolled along the street, stopping here and there, occasionally going into shops to look around and buy some small items.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they came to a huge bluestone square. There were many small stalls here. The variety of things on the stalls was dazzling.
Han Changming and the other two walked around twice but didn't buy anything.
An hour later, they returned to their residence.
Han Daobin and Han Delei also came back. They found nothing. Han Changming talked about how he got to know Tan Mingyu.
"Tan Mingyu? I've never heard of him, and I don't know if what he said is true or not. I'll ask Chang Shuo about this person later. We have to be more careful and can't be careless. The competition in the outer sea is fierce, and there are endless killings and treasure grabbing. Especially you, Chang Ming, uncle knows that your strength is relatively strong, that is compared to the foundation-building cultivators in the Red Algae Sea. The cultivators who make a living in the outer sea are all living on the edge of a knife. You can't be careless, there is always a mountain higher than the other."
Han Daobin said earnestly that Han Zhangxiang had repeatedly told him to take good care of Han Changming and not let anything happen to Han Changming.
He was afraid that Han Changming was young and hot-headed and would not listen to his advice.
"Uncle Daobin, please rest assured. I know what to do. I won't do anything reckless."
Han Changming smiled and nodded. It could be seen from the war ten years ago that Han Changming was much more stable than before and would not act recklessly.
The next morning, Lu Yang and Lu Yun gathered all the monks and gave them a lecture.
Han Changming and others stood in the open space, while Lu Yang and Lu Yun sat in the stone pavilion, both of them with solemn expressions.
"Listen carefully, the situation in the open sea is different from that in the Red Algae Sea. Anyone who disobeys orders can leave now. I will never pursue the matter."
Lu Yang said in a deep voice, his gloomy eyes slowly sweeping over each foundation-building cultivator.
Everyone stood still. Only a fool would leave at this time. It sounds nice to say that if there was no call, the foundation-building cultivators from immortal cultivation families would not come!
"Going to the outer seas for development is also a good thing for you. The salary of the foundation-building cultivators transferred to the outer seas by our sect will be increased by 50%. The same applies to others. However, there is one requirement: obey our orders. Those who disobey will be severely punished."
Lu Yun's tone was stern, and they cooperated with each other, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
"Since you all have no objection, let's go."
Lu Yang waved his hand and left his residence with more than seventy foundation-building cultivators.
They appeared on the street and quickly attracted the attention of other monks.
After a while, they came to the gate of a palace made of red bricks and glazed tiles. On the plaque were three big characters "Fire Toad Palace" inscribed on it.
There is a circular magic array with a diameter of one hundred feet in the hall. There are hundreds of grooves of the same size on the magic array, which are engraved with mysterious array patterns.
Han Changming frowned. How far could such a large teleportation array teleport? Tens of millions of miles? Or hundreds of millions of miles
The teleportation fee for a cultivator is eight thousand spirit stones, regardless of age or level of cultivation. No wonder Tinghai Pavilion did not bring any Qi-refining cultivators, but only brought Foundation-building cultivators.
The cost of teleporting seventy-two immortal cultivators to the open sea was as high as 576,000 spirit stones, which was almost enough to buy a magic weapon.
There were ten foundation-building monks wearing the same silver shirts next to the magic circle. They gave each monk a teleportation talisman.
"It's normal to feel dizzy and nauseous when using a large teleportation array for the first time."
All of them walked to the teleportation array and slapped the teleportation talisman onto their bodies.
There was a flash of silver light, and a light silver light curtain covered Han Changming's whole body. Everyone was covered with a light silver light curtain.
The ten foundation-building monks each cast a spell into the magic circle. Countless array patterns lit up and transformed into an extremely thick silver light column that shot up into the sky and submerged the figures of everyone.
Han Changming felt dizzy and when he came to his senses, he found that they were in a vast golden hall. There were hundreds of teleportation arrays of various sizes nearby, and a large number of cultivators were coming in and out.
Ye Xue and Ye Xin covered their mouths with their hands, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable. Some monks vomited on the spot, looking very embarrassed.
"Let's go! We've been teleported for hundreds of millions of miles. It's normal to feel dizzy and nauseous. Just take a rest."
Lu Yun and Lu Yang strode out, and Han Changming and others hurriedly followed.
Han Changming was surprised to find that they were standing on the hillside of a high peak. There was a huge city at the foot of the mountain. The houses were arranged in an orderly manner, forming the layout of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. A large number of cultivators were walking on the streets, most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators. One could even see a dozen Jindan cultivators. Before they even walked down the mountain, a burst of noise reached their ears.
Han Changming looked towards the top of the mountain and found that the area above the halfway point was covered by thick white fog, and he could not see clearly what was going on inside.
A bluestone staircase extended from halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Lu Yang and Lu Yun walked in front, followed by Han Changming and others.
Not long after, they appeared on the spacious and clean streets.
The streets are crowded with people and cars, and it is very lively.
