Han Deling had not yet reached the great perfection of foundation building, so she could not use the golden berries. Han Daoxiu bought two second-level talismans and made a small profit.
After returning to his residence, Han Zhangxiang instructed Han Daoxiu: "Daoxiu, please pay attention to the recipe of the Golden Elixir and the news of Jinxia Island. It would be great if Changming could join us."
If we can get the recipe for the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid, we can let Han Changming try to refine the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid to maximize the benefits.
One golden berry can only be taken by one foundation-building cultivator. If it is used to make pills, it can be used to make multiple golden pills for multiple people to take.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Daoxiu agreed. He was responsible for gathering intelligence, which was part of his job.
Han Zhangxiang gave Han Daoxiu a few instructions and asked him to leave.
In a secluded courtyard, there is a three-story green pavilion. Next to it is a green stone pavilion. An old man in his early fifties is sitting in the stone pavilion. The old man is wearing a green robe, is energetic, has a thin face, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and he has a goatee. He looks very amiable.
On the green stone table was a set of exquisite tea sets and a green wooden box. In the wooden box was a light golden fruit that exuded a strange fragrance.
The old man in green robe is called Zhu Zijie. He has reached the great perfection of foundation building and is Zhu Mingming’s grandfather.
The Zhu family currently has two cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. If they can cultivate a cultivator who can reach the Jindan stage, the Zhu family will develop even better.
The resources for cultivating immortals in the Red Algae Sea are scarce. In order to obtain spiritual objects for forming Dan, the Zhu family, led by Zhu Zijie, leads a group of clansmen to the open sea to develop and search for spiritual objects for forming Dan.
The Zhu family had a total of five foundation-building cultivators who went to the outer sea to develop. Five foundation-building cultivators were simply not enough in the outer sea. In order to supplement their combat power, the Zhu family exchanged two second-level top-quality puppet beasts with the Han family.
"Grandfather, with the golden berries, if you can find a spiritual object for forming a dan, you can reach the dan stage."
Zhu Mingming said with some excitement that the Zhu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there has never been a Jindan cultivator. Zhu Zijie might become the first Jindan cultivator in the Zhu family.
Zhu Zijie's face turned red, and he looked at the golden berries in the jade box with a look of relief.
This was the second time that the Zhu family came to the outer sea to develop. The first time, they were completely wiped out. It took the Zhu family nearly a hundred years to recover. This time when they went to the outer sea to develop, the Zhu family cultivators participated in many auctions and did encounter some Jindan spiritual objects, but the competition was too fierce. The cultivators in the outer sea were relatively wealthy, and the Zhu family failed to bid for any Jindan spiritual objects.
Zhu Mingming participated in an underground auction and unexpectedly bought a golden berry. Although the effect is not as good as the golden elixir, taking the golden berry raw can increase the chance of forming an elixir by 10%.
He put away the golden berries and said, "Mingming, you did a great job. Tell your second uncle to pay more attention to the news about the spiritual objects that can help with forming a pill. Oh, and also the news about the underground auction. I hope to get another spiritual object that can help with forming a pill."
Just one golden berry was not enough, he also needed a spiritual object to form a pill.
Zhu Mingming nodded. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, Grandfather, I seem to have run into someone from the Huludao Han family."
"Huludao Han Family? What do you mean by 'seem'?"
Zhu Zijie was slightly stunned. They exchanged two second-level top-quality puppet beasts with the Han family. The two second-level top-quality puppet beasts helped them get through a difficult time.
"A new store called Golden Gourd Pavilion has opened in the market, selling puppet beasts and talismans. I found that one of the people there seems to be Han Changying. She is proficient in refining weapons and puppetry. I have a deep impression of her."
Zhu Mingming said slowly that the most outstanding member of the Han family was Han Changming, followed by Han Debiao, and then Han Changying. As for Han Zhangxiang, after Zhu Mingming entered the world of immortal cultivation, Han Zhangxiang rarely appeared and was not well-known.
Zhu Zijie hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand. I will send someone to investigate. You don't have to worry about it."
If the Han family also develops in the open sea, Zhu Zijie can consider cooperating with the Han family. There is no other way. The Zhu family's strength in the open sea is too weak. The Han family is good at refining puppet beasts. If the Zhu family cooperates with the Han family, development will be smoother.
In the Red Algae Sea, the Zhu and Han families have a lot of business dealings. The two families became friends because of the war. The Han family has a good development trend. The Han family is also one of the best immortal cultivation families in the Red Algae Sea. Zhu Zijie even considered marrying the Han family.
If the Han family expands overseas, the Zhu family can cooperate with the Han family and keep each other warm.
"Yes, Grandfather."
Zhu Mingming agreed. The cooperation between the Zhu and Han families is a win-win situation. However, he didn't know whether the Han family would cooperate with the Zhu family. What confused Zhu Mingming was that Han Changying did not use his real face and claimed to be surnamed Hu.
The servants of the Golden Gourd Pavilion are cultivators who were born and raised in Haoran City. Apart from Han Changying, Zhu Mingming did not find any other cultivators from the Han family.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Zijie asked Zhu Mingming to leave.
······
Golden Gourd Pavilion, backyard.
Han Changying looked at Han Benfu and others with a look of joy on his face.
Han Zhangxiang transferred fifteen clansmen, including five foundation-building cultivators, namely Han Changjiong, Han Changyan, Han Benfu, Han Benzhi, and Han Benmin, and ten Qi-refining cultivators.
After Chen Hongming's death, Han Dehao lost the trust of the Chen family. It made little sense for Han Changjiong to continue staying in Kuixingfang City. Han Zhangxiang transferred Han Changjiong to the outer sea, firstly to bring out Han Changjiong's strengths; secondly to let Han Changjiong come out of the shadows and find a new Taoist partner.
Han Changjing brought Han Benxian with him to make it easier to educate him.
At first, Han Changjiong was reluctant to go to the open sea, as he did not want to be separated from his son. However, Han Daogui persuaded Han Changjiong that the resources for cultivating immortals were abundant in the open sea, and that going to the open sea could help Han Benxian build his foundation. Considering Han Benxian's path, Han Changjiong agreed and took Han Benxian to the open sea.
"Seventh brother, you have worked hard all the way. Take a good rest first. I will arrange tasks for you in a few days."
Han Changying said with a smile that with fifteen tribesmen, she would be much more relaxed.
Han Changjing shook his head and said, "It's okay, Fifth Sister, we're not tired. By the way, is there any news about Ninth Brother and the others?"
Hearing that Haige was recruiting Han Changming to develop in the outer sea, Han Changming might be able to get a foundation-building pill. Han Changjiong hoped that Han Changming could help him get a foundation-building pill to help Han Benxian build his foundation.
Only when you have children do you understand the kindness of your parents. Han Changjing has experienced this personally.
"My ninth brother and his friends are on Jinxia Island, which is tens of millions of miles away from Haoran City. It's very far away and very dangerous out there. Some time ago, a third-level monster attacked cultivators everywhere, and several Jindan cultivators died. It was Master Danghai who took action to deal with the monster. You should not leave Haoran City without permission. Every year, cultivators disappear inexplicably."
Han Changying's face was solemn. Cultivators hunted monsters, and monsters would also hunt cultivators. In addition to dealing with the attacks of monsters, cultivators also had to guard against other cultivators.
"Got it. We won't leave Haoran City without permission. Xian'er, did you hear what your fifth aunt said? Follow me and don't leave my sight."
Han Changjing looked at Han Benxian and said with a stern face.
He only has this one son. He is afraid that he will melt if he holds him in his mouth, and afraid that he will fall if he holds him in his hand.
Han Benxian knew that Han Changjiong was doing this for his own good, but he was somewhat disgusted by Han Changjiong's attitude. In front of so many clansmen, Han Benxian nodded reluctantly and agreed. Only he knew whether he had listened or not.
"Okay, Seventh Brother, Benxian has grown up. He is no longer a child. He knows his limits. Come with me!"
Han Changying personally arranged accommodation for them and let them live next door to Han Zhangxiang.
