When Han Changming and his wife walked out of the magic weapon shop, a surprised female voice suddenly sounded: "Friend Han, long time no see."
Han Changming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl in purple with picturesque features and snow-white skin standing not far away.
The purple-clothed girl had a faint smile on her face, and judging from her aura, she had reached the Jindan stage.
"Hey, Fairy Xu, I haven't seen you for many years. Fairy Xu has entered the Jindan stage. Congratulations!"
Han Changming let out a light exclamation and clasped his fists in congratulations.
The girl in purple is Xu Ziyi, the eldest senior sister of Tiandan Sect and the key training target of Tiandan Sect.
When Han Changming first met Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi was already in the late stage of foundation building, while Han Changming was only in the middle stage of foundation building. Decades later, Xu Ziyi advanced to the Jindan stage, and Han Changming did not find it strange at all.
Xu Ziyi's aura is stronger than Han Changming's. It is estimated that it took her a longer time to advance to the Jindan stage.
The Han family did not receive the news because the Tiandan Sect did not publicize it. Perhaps this large-scale auction was related to Xu Ziyi.
Han Changming restrained his breathing, so the Foundation Establishment cultivators could not notice it, but he could not hide it from the other Jindan cultivators.
"Congratulations, I haven't seen you for many years. Fellow Daoist Han has also advanced to the Jindan stage. I have long said that Fellow Daoist Han has unlimited potential. I was right, wasn't I?"
As Xu Ziyi said this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
The probability of a Jindan cultivator appearing in a family of immortal cultivators is too low. Xu Ziyi's mother, Li Yue, was born in a family of immortal cultivators. The Li family has been passed down for 800 years, but there has never been a Jindan cultivator. The Jindan spiritual object is a very important reason for this.
Li Yuehua, the patriarch of the Li family, received two spiritual objects for forming the core of the elixir, but was unable to advance to the core-forming stage. Xu Ziyi, relying on her outstanding talent, was accepted as a disciple by Master Tiandan. With her own efforts, she became the eldest sister of the Tiandan Sect and was given priority for forming the core of the elixir.
After Xu Ziyi became the eldest senior sister of Tiandan Sect, the Li family mobilized all their strength to search for a spiritual object for the Jindan formation, and helped Xu Ziyi get one. Xu Ziyi accumulated a lot of good deeds through alchemy, which she exchanged for a spiritual object for the Jindan formation, and the sect issued her a spiritual object for the Jindan formation.
With three golden elixir spiritual objects, Xu Ziyi was able to advance to the golden elixir stage and produced a mid-grade golden elixir. The Han family where Han Changming belongs is not as good as the Li family. The fact that Han Changming was able to advance to the golden elixir stage can only be attributed to his good luck. It is estimated that Han Changming produced a low-grade golden elixir and it would be difficult for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Xu Ziyi thought so in her heart, without showing any contempt on her face. There are exceptions to everything. Who knows, Han Changming might have a good chance and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Han Changming smiled indifferently. When they were chatting that year, Xu Ziyi did say something like this, and Han Changming also said something like this, but no one took it seriously.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. How about we find a place to have a good chat?"
Han Changming extended the invitation. He and Xu Ziyi were old acquaintances, and more interactions would be beneficial to both parties.
Jindan cultivators have a lot of say in several nearby sea areas, and Yuanying cultivators are rare in several surrounding sea areas.
"My younger sister is about to go to a banquet. If you don't mind, Brother Han, please come along! Brother Shangguan is here too."
Xu Ziyi smiled gently. The Shangguan family was one of the seven great immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea. It had a profound heritage and was filled with many experts.
Connections are a very important resource. The Shangguan family is one of the seven great immortal cultivation families. It is an honor to be able to meet the Jindan cultivators of the Shangguan family.
Han Changming's eyes flashed with surprise, and he readily agreed: "No problem, Han, excuse me for disturbing you."
Xu Ziyi looked at Ye Xin and Ye Xue. Han Changming understood what she meant and said to the two ladies, "Madam, you should go back first! I will meet you later."
Ye Xin and Ye Xue agreed and turned to leave.
Han Changming followed Xu Ziyi to another street, chatting as they walked.
"Fairy Xu, why doesn't your sect hold a Dan-forming Ceremony for you?"
Han Changming asked casually. Xu Ziyi was the eldest senior sister of the Tiandan Sect. Logically speaking, when she advanced to the Jindan stage, the Tiandan Sect would not make a big fuss about it, nor would it block the news.
The Han family has some manpower in the Qingli Sea. If the Tiandan Sect spreads the news that Xu Ziyi has formed a pill, the Han family will receive the news.
"Master Brother originally wanted to make a big fuss about it, but I don't like crowds, so I won't do it. If Fellow Daoist Han is going to hold a Jindan Ceremony, please invite me, and I will definitely send him a gift."
Xu Ziyi gave a brief explanation and changed the subject.
Han Changming half believed and half doubted, nodded and said: "One year later, Han will hold a Dan-forming ceremony. If Fairy Xu is free, come to Huludao for a glass of water wine."
"Okay, I'll be there on time then."
Xu Ziyi agreed without hesitation. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Friend Han, excuse me, do you have any third-level spiritual water? If you do, please give me priority. The price is negotiable."
"No, it's not that easy to get third-level spiritual water. If you want third-level spiritual water, you can go to find fellow Daoist Lu from Black Crow Island. The Lu family has third-level spiritual water."
Han Changming changed the subject. As far as he knew, in the surrounding seas, only two forces produced third-grade spiritual water, and the Lu family of Black Crow Island was one of them. This also showed how precious third-grade spiritual water was.
Not long after, Xu Ziyi stopped at the door of a three-story purple attic. Two disciples of the Tiandan Sect were guarding the door. Above the door hung a five-foot-long silver plaque with three large golden characters "Ziyue Pavilion" inscribed on it.
"Uncle Xu."
The two Tiandan Sect disciples bowed and saluted. Xu Ziyi nodded and walked in with Han Changming.
The entire Ziyue Pavilion was booked by Xu Ziyi, and the spacious lobby was empty.
When he arrived at the fifth floor, Han Changming saw an old man in a green robe who was as thin as a bamboo pole and a burly young man in a black robe. The old man in the green robe had a mustache, kind eyes and an approachable look. The young man in the black robe had a black gourd around his waist and a light golden jade pendant on his chest.
"Friend Lin, what a coincidence!"
When Han Changming saw the young man in black robe, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes and he greeted him with a smile.
The young man in black robe is Lin Sheng from the Divine Weapon Sect. Han Changming had a battle with Lin Sheng in the past and fled in panic. Six foundation-building monks from Tinghai Pavilion chased Lin Sheng, and only Wang Yunzhong escaped.
According to Wang Yunzhong, Lin Sheng's spiritual consciousness was extremely powerful. In the late stage of foundation building, he controlled twelve second-order puppet beasts, fighting one against six and killing five foundation building monks.
Lin Sheng had either taken some miraculous fruit that increased his spiritual consciousness, or practiced some technique that increased his spiritual consciousness, or he possessed a spiritual body.
The spirit body is a special physique. Those with spirit bodies often possess incredible magical powers. Some of them can make monsters feel friendly and can easily subdue them. Some of them can do two things at the same time and their cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary cultivators. Some of them are born physical cultivators, and there are even some special spirits that possess special spirits similar to immortal bodies.
Generally speaking, spirit beings are extremely rare, one in ten thousand.
The Han family had been developing in the East China Sea for more than 600 years, and a person with dual spiritual roots, Han Benfu, appeared.
Han Changming later sent people to inquire about Lin Sheng's news, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful. It seemed that Lin Sheng was protected by the Divine Weapon Sect.
Lin Sheng has already entered the Jindan stage, and his aura is even stronger than Xu Ziyi's.
Lin Sheng looked Han Changming up and down, and suddenly realized what was going on. He said with a half-smile, "It turned out to be you. I didn't expect you to have formed a pill, too."
He had come into contact with many foundation-building cultivators. Han Changming was relatively strong and was well-known in the Red Algae Sea. Lin Sheng was more impressed by Han Changming.
Xu Ziyi was slightly stunned, and asked curiously: "Why? Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know each other?"
The Golden Eagle Sea is adjacent to the Red Algae Sea, but Lin Sheng lives a reclusive life and rarely appears in public. Xu Ziyi has heard from her master that Lin Sheng should have some special spiritual body, and the Divine Weapon Sect has strictly blocked any news about him. Only after Lin Sheng entered the Jindan stage did he appear more often.
Han Changming actually knew Lin Sheng, which aroused Xu Ziyi's curiosity.
"I have fought with Fellow Daoist Han before, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it to my heart's content. No fight, no acquaintance. Fellow Daoist Han, why don't we have a fight today?"
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile.
Back then, he was chasing Han Changming. Later, Wang Yunzhong brought people to support him. Lin Sheng killed five disciples of Tinghai Pavilion, but was also beaten by the disciples of Tinghai Pavilion. He spent several months recuperating. He always remembered this incident.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you have a third-level puppet beast as your helper. I guess there are not many Daoists who can be your opponent. Let the past pass. When Fellow Daoist Shangguan comes later, you can spar with him."
Xu Ziyi smiled and tried to smooth things over. She could naturally see that Lin Sheng and Han Changming had a grudge against each other.
When Lin Sheng heard the words "Fellow Daoist Shangguan", his expression relaxed and he said nothing more.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Han, I forgot to introduce you, this is Senior Brother Chen."
Xu Ziyi pointed at the old man in green robe and introduced him, changing the subject.
"I am Chen Liang, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Han."
"My name is Han Changming, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Chen."
The two of them clasped their fists and introduced their names to each other.
The four of them sat together drinking tea and chatting. Lin Sheng seldom spoke. He would only answer once after Xu Ziyi asked a few questions.
"Fairy Xu, Fellow Daoist Chen, I heard that there will be magic weapons being auctioned this time? Do you two know what magic weapons they are? How many are there?"
Han Changming asked sincerely. The Tiandan Sect had a great influence in the Qingli Sea. Xu Ziyi and Chen Liang were Jindan cultivators of the Tiandan Sect, so they might know about it.
Lin Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "I don't know how many magic weapons are auctioned at the auction, but the Qingyang Ruler refined by my master is also among them. The Qingyang Ruler is an offensive magic weapon. If Fellow Daoist Han is interested, you can bid for it."
Listening to Han Changming's words, he felt that Han Changming did not have any magic weapon, which was normal. The Han family was just a small family. The emergence of a Jindan cultivator was a great honor for the family. It was normal that they could not produce any magic weapon.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Han Changming thanked him and nodded thoughtfully.
Qingyang Ruler, as the name suggests, is not a magic weapon of earth attribute. However, it is better to have it than not to have it. At least it is a magic weapon.
A light sound of footsteps was heard, and a plump, fair-skinned young woman in a green dress and a hunchbacked old man in a golden robe came up.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, Fellow Daoist Yan, you are here."
Xu Ziyi stood up and greeted with a smile.
Han Changming's eyes swept across the young woman in the green skirt and he thought to himself, "This should be the Shangguan Yuwei that Fairy Xu mentioned."
Shangguan Yuwei has reached the late Jindan stage, while the old man in golden robe is Lu Haibin from Black Crow Island, who is at the middle Jindan stage.
Shangguan Yuwei's eyes quickly passed over Han Changming and the other three, and landed on Lin Sheng. She smiled and said, "This fellow Taoist has cultivated his spiritual consciousness quite well. He must be fellow Taoist Lin from the Divine Weapon Sect!"
