After returning to his residence, Han Changming told the two ladies about the exchange meeting and asked for their help and advice.
He didn't expect to meet Lin Sheng here, so he had to be on guard against people. They had to be careful when they went back, because no one could guarantee that Lin Sheng wouldn't kill them along the way.
"I didn't expect to run into this person, husband. To be on the safe side, let's leave Shark Island later!"
Ye Xin suggested that they didn't have much contact with Lin Sheng and didn't know who Lin Sheng was, so they should be cautious and stay on Shark Island for a while.
Ye Xue agreed deeply and said, "Yes! Anyway, we have nothing to do, so let's stay on Shark Island for a while!"
Han Changming thought so too and nodded in agreement. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, haven't Benfu and the others come back yet?"
"No, I guess he went to the spirit beast shop with Benmin."
Ye Xue smiled and said, Han Changming's spirit insects are quite powerful, and Han Benfu has always wanted to raise a few kinds of powerful spirit insects, but unfortunately she has not been able to do so. Han Benmin has been interested in the art of repelling insects and taming beasts since he was a child. Han Benfu and Han Benmin fought insects when they were young. On the way here, they both said that they wanted to buy more powerful spirit insects.
Han Changming smiled indifferently and said nothing more.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion and the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect are quite powerful. Since Han Changming entered the world of immortal cultivation, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion has provided Han Changming with tremendous help and has helped him kill powerful enemies many times, making outstanding contributions.
There is no thunder tribulation for a spirit insect to advance to the third level, but it requires special spiritual objects. Han Changming got a drop of Ten Thousand Poisons Liquid from Mu Linger in his early years, but unfortunately there was only one drop. If there was a large amount of Ten Thousand Poisons Liquid, the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion might be able to advance to the third level. In addition, the inner alchemy of high-level spirit insects can also assist the spirit insects in their advancement.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion is a poisonous scorpion. In addition to spiritual objects like the Ten Thousand Poisons Juice, the inner elixirs of other poisonous scorpions can also help it advance.
It is much more difficult for spirit insects to advance than spirit beasts and birds. This is the main reason why immortal cultivators rarely possess high-level spirit insects. However, once a spirit insect advances to a high level, its magical powers are much more powerful than ordinary spirit beasts and birds. I wonder what powerful magical powers the Amethyst Flying Scorpion will master after it advances to the third level.
The several kinds of spiritual insects raised by Han Changming were all single and unable to reproduce, otherwise he would have wanted to give a purple crystal flying scorpion to Han Benfu.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming came to the basement, took out the inner elixir of the third-level golden-eyed beast, and began to refine the golden-eyed clear spirit liquid.
The Golden Eye Pure Spirit Liquid is based on the inner elixir of the third-level golden eye beast, and other auxiliary medicines are relatively easy to find.
The family helped Han Changming find a lot of auxiliary medicines, but failed to find the inner elixir of the third-level golden-eyed beast. This time, after exchanging for the inner elixir of the third-level golden-eyed beast, Han Changming can refine the Golden Eye Purifying Liquid and continue to practice the Golden Eye True Pupil.
Mastering the secret technique of spiritual pupils will be of great benefit to his path.
He took out the Suzaku Furnace and chanted a spell. With a muffled "puff" sound, a red flame suddenly emerged from the bottom of the furnace and enveloped the Suzaku Furnace. Soon, the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
He changed his magic spell, and the furnace cover flew up and landed steadily on the ground. He threw the auxiliary medicines and inner elixir into the Suzaku furnace one after another and closed the furnace lid.
······
A ten-acre bluestone square with a large number of small stalls. The items on the stalls are varied and of various kinds, which makes people dazzled.
Han Benmin and Han Benfu walked forward, looking curiously at the things on the stalls.
They visited several spirit animal shops but failed to buy the spirit insects they wanted.
The magical powers of ordinary spiritual insects are not great, but the spiritual insects on the list of strange insects in the world have greater potential. Influenced by Han Changming, Han Benfu has always wanted to raise a spiritual insect with greater magical powers.
Amethyst worms are suitable for finding metal veins, but their magical powers are not great, and they are of no help in battles. They are like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away.
Han Benmin has two second-level purple-striped fire centipedes, which are ranked 135th on the list of strange insects in the world. After three generations of cultivation, when Han Benmin took over, the two purple-striped fire centipedes were already top-grade first-level. After years of cultivation, both purple-striped fire centipedes have been promoted to the second level.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. As soon as Han Benmin entered the world of immortal cultivation, he possessed two first-grade top-quality purple-striped fire centipedes, which even Han Benfu could not compare to.
It is said that some high-ranking cultivators from major sects received third-order spirit beasts from their senior masters, which is enviable just thinking about it.
"Amethyst Flying Scorpion's eggs? Really? This can't be a lie!"
"Humph, believe it or not, Lin Xuan, the son of the leader of Qingyun Sect, knows about it! He has a purple crystal flying scorpion. It is said that Senior Lin killed Lei Wentian with the help of the purple crystal flying scorpion. If I were not short of spirit stones, I would be reluctant to sell it!"
A fierce quarrel came from the stall in front. Han Benfu and Han Benmin heard the five words "Amethyst Flying Scorpio", looked at each other, and hurried forward.
In front of a small stall, two Qi-refining monks were arguing. The stall owner was a man in his early forties wearing a green shirt with a shrewd look on his face. A young man wearing a blue shirt with a fair complexion stood in front of the stall. There were quite a few things on the stall, mostly materials for monsters and some metal ores.
There were ten purple insect eggs in a green wooden box, and next to it was a green wooden sign with a line of small words written on it: Amethyst Flying Scorpion's Eggs.
More than 20 years ago, the five major forces in the Red Algae Sea fought a great battle. Lei Wentian of Taixu Sect killed more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators in succession and became notorious. Lei Wentian chased Lin Xuan, but was killed by Lin Xuan. According to Taixu Sect's disciples, Lei Wentian died of poison, and Lin Xuan became famous in one battle.
Because too many Taixu Sect disciples hated Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan disappeared from the public since then and rarely appeared in public. It was said that he was listed as a key training target by the Qingyun Sect and was given priority in forming a pill.
The Qingli Sea is adjacent to the Red Algae Sea, and Lin Xuan’s deeds have also spread to the Qingli Sea.
Hearing the words "Amethyst Flying Scorpion", many cultivators gathered around.
"One insect egg is sold for one hundred spirit stones. That's too expensive!"
"That's right, one hundred spirit stones can buy more than a dozen flying sandworms."
"I have a hundred spirit stones, I might as well use them to buy pills."
······
Some cash-strapped Qi-refining practitioners disagreed and did not buy it.
Han Benfu and Han Benmin squatted down, picked up an insect egg each and examined it carefully.
The eggs were exactly the same as those described in the classics. Han Benfu put the eggs to her nose and sniffed them a few times. The green-shirted man's pupils shrank slightly.
"Are these eggs really the eggs of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion?"
Han Benmin raised a question, saying that if these were indeed the eggs of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion, they could be sold at a higher price after hatching.
"I got the eggs from an ancient cultivator's cave. I'm not sure they are the eggs of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. Also, the eggs have been stored for too long, so they may not hatch."
The man in green shirt said this nervously, clearing himself of responsibility.
Han Benmin realized that the man in green was most likely lying, and as for the buyer, he was most likely an agent, so he couldn't be fooled by this trick.
"I want two insect eggs, but one hundred spirit stones for one insect egg is a bit expensive, so give me this piece of iron."
Han Benfu said in a deep voice, holding a palm-sized piece of black iron in his hand.
The man in green shirt agreed readily. The piece of iron was worthless and he had checked it long ago.
Han Benmin seemed to be hesitant to speak and finally did not open his mouth. Han Benfu spent two hundred spirit stones to buy two insect eggs and a piece of iron.
After they walked away, the man in green immediately closed his stall and disappeared into the crowd.
"Sister, there is obviously something wrong with the eggs, why did you buy them?"
Han Benmin asked with some confusion.
"There is something wrong with the eggs. They should be disguised with other spirit insect eggs. They smell like purple heart grass. But I want the piece of iron."
Han Benfu took out the black iron sheet. The iron sheet was covered with rust and did not look like a valuable item at first glance.
A dozen purple crystal insects crawled out from Han Benfu's sleeves and climbed on the black iron sheets.
After she entered the world of immortal cultivation, she raised a group of purple crystal insects and currently has cultivated a second-level purple crystal insect.
She had just quietly released a second-level amethyst worm, but she didn't expect that the amethyst worm was very interested in the iron sheet. Even the second-level amethyst worm couldn't bite the black iron sheet, which meant that the black iron sheet was not an ordinary thing, maybe it was a fragment of a magic weapon.
Every time Han Changming came back, Han Benfu would ask Han Changming to tell her about the outside world, including the evil cultivators. Han Changming mentioned that he had killed many powerful enemies with the fragments of magic weapons.
Even if it was not a fragment of a magic weapon, Han Benfu didn't care. She was a second-rank alchemist, and two hundred spirit stones were nothing to her.
After strolling around for most of an hour, Han Benfu and Han Benmin returned to their residence.
When she returned to her residence, Han Benfu only saw Ye Xin and Ye Xue. She smiled and asked, "Auntie, mother, where is my father?"
"Your father is refining the elixir! What's up? Is there anything happy? Tell mom."
Ye Xue held Han Benfu's hands with a loving look on her face.
The more outstanding Han Benfu is, the prouder she is.
Han Benfu took out the black iron sheet, handed it to Ye Xue, and said excitedly: "Mom, I got a piece of iron sheet. The material is quite special. Even the second-level purple crystal insects can't bite it. You are knowledgeable. Can you help me check if it is a fragment of a magic weapon?"
Ye Xue took the black iron sheet and examined it carefully. She did not find anything unusual. She handed the black iron sheet to Ye Xin and said, "Sister, you often follow your husband around. Your eyesight is better than mine. Take a look at what it is."
Ye Xin checked again and again, but could not find anything unusual. She slapped the spirit beast bag, and a purple crystal insect as big as a millstone flew out. It was the purple crystal insect mother.
After years of cultivation by Ye Xin, it has been promoted to the second-level intermediate quality. The purple crystal worm likes to eat various minerals, and Ye Xin feeds it with minerals every once in a while.
As soon as the Amethyst Worm Queen appeared, it immediately pounced on the black iron sheet. It hugged the black iron sheet and bit it, making an excited hissing sound.
After a long while, the Amethyst Worm Queen let go of the black iron sheet, and the black iron sheet was intact.
Ye Xin was a little surprised and frowned as she said, "This doesn't look like a fragment of a magic weapon. It looks more like some kind of third-level refining material. It's not an ordinary refining material. Even the Purple Crystal Bug Mother can't chew it. Forget it, wait until your father comes out of seclusion and then show it to him!"
Han Benfu was a little disappointed, but she still put away the black iron sheet with a smile. After all, the black iron sheet was a third-grade refining material, and it was not a loss to buy it for two hundred spirit stones.
After chatting for a while, Han Benfu went back to rest.
······
In a five-story green attic, Shangguan Yuwei was talking to two men.
"Aunt Jiu, you've leaked the news about the Ten Thousand Demon Island. That's not good! What if other forces catch the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and sneak into the Ten Thousand Demon Island? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
An obese man in a green shirt frowned and said, with layers of fat on his belly.
"Yun Bin, you have to have a long-term vision. I'm just saying hello to them. Only people below the Jindan stage can enter the Wanmo Island. Sneak into the Wanmo Island? Humph, it's not that I look down on them, they don't have the ability. The birth of Wanmo Island will make a big noise, and they can't cover it up."
"We have been here for decades. Let's stay for a while longer! If the Ten Thousand Demon Island doesn't appear here, then forget it. There is no need to sit and wait. Opportunities are hard to predict and can only be encountered by chance."
Shangguan Yuwei sighed. She had waited in the Qingli Sea for decades. If she still couldn't wait for the Ten Thousand Demon Island to appear, it could only be said that she was not lucky enough.
"You and Yun Lang have also cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building. We don't have enough opportunities, so let's go back and don't delay your golden elixir formation. I hope you can form a high-quality golden elixir."
Shangguan Yunbin chuckled and said, "It would be great if I could produce a top-grade golden elixir like Third Brother."
"Top-grade golden elixir? You can hold onto this hope, but it doesn't make much sense. Our Shangguan family has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, but only two of our clansmen have produced top-grade golden elixir. The same is true for the ten major sects in the East China Sea. It's great for a sect to have a Jindan cultivator who produces a top-grade golden elixir, and it's even better to produce a top-grade golden elixir. Among a hundred Jindan cultivators, not even one may produce a top-grade golden elixir."
Shangguan Yuwei said slowly that she had used three kinds of spiritual objects to form a golden elixir, but she could only form a medium-grade golden elixir. Only one cultivator in a hundred could form a high-grade golden elixir, and only one cultivator in ten thousand could form a supreme-grade golden elixir.
"The quality of the golden elixir is certainly important, but the heart of seeking the Tao is even more important. It is said that the Tiansha Zhenren in the outer sea has produced a low-grade golden elixir. Isn't he now a powerful figure in the outer sea?"
"Yes, nephew will remember the teachings of Aunt Jiu."
Shangguan Yunbin agreed with a frank tone.
······
In a quiet green-tiled courtyard, Xu Ziyi was chatting with Chen Liang.
"Brother Chen, it's strange that Fellow Daoist Shangguan took the initiative to tell us the news about Ten Thousand Demon Island."
Xu Ziyi said with some confusion.
"She has been here for decades. She probably came here for the Ten Thousand Demon Island. She waited for a long time but the Ten Thousand Demon Island did not appear, so she told us. There is nothing strange about it. If the Ten Thousand Demon Island appears, we can cooperate with the Shangguan family. After all, the Shangguan family is one of the seven great immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea, and their strength is much stronger than ours. By the way, do you need the inner elixir of the third-level golden-eyed beast to make an elixir?"
Chen Liang said slowly.
"No, the Golden Eyed Beast is quite rare. I wanted to collect the inner elixir of the third-level Golden Eyed Beast, but I didn't expect it to be exchanged by Fellow Daoist Han. I don't know what he took out, but Fellow Daoist Shangguan actually exchanged it with him."
Chen Liang disagreed and said, "Everyone has his own chance. No matter what Fellow Daoist Han takes out, it has nothing to do with us. You and he are old acquaintances, don't distance yourself from him. Cultivating immortals is not just about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships and worldly wisdom. Han Changming can advance to the Jindan stage, so how do you know he won't be able to advance to the Yuanying stage? There's no harm in making more friends."
"Got it. Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for your advice."
Xu Ziyi nodded and agreed, her tone sincere.
