According to conservative estimates, there are more than 100,000 islands in the outer seas, and humans and demons only occupy a small part of them. Most of the islands are ownerless.
The environment in the open sea is harsh. There are natural magnetic fields in some places, and cultivators who accidentally enter will be trapped and killed there. There are space cracks in some places, and those who accidentally enter will die on the spot. Some places are the nests of high-level monsters, and cultivators who accidentally enter will be killed by high-level cultivators. Therefore, a sea chart is necessary for hunting monsters in the open sea.
The more detailed the chart, the higher its value.
The sea charts that can be bought in Haoran City mainly introduce the territories controlled by the Righteous Alliance. There are no sea charts of places farther away, and they are rough sea charts. This is also intentional by the big forces. The big forces have spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to draw the surprise sea charts, so they will naturally not be sold casually.
There are more than a dozen nautical charts, all of which are detailed.
Han Zhangxiang took a careful look and found that the nautical chart recorded in detail the area of tens of millions of miles in radius, mainly the territory controlled by the Three Immortals Island. There were not many nautical charts in the area under the jurisdiction of the Righteous Alliance. From this, it can be judged that True Man Kuangfeng used to be mainly active in the territory of the Three Immortals Island. As for why he died in the territory controlled by the Righteous Alliance, it was not clear.
Maybe Master Kuangfeng offended the high-level cultivators of the Three Immortals Island, or maybe he and his friends were hunting monsters in the sphere of influence of the Righteous Alliance.
In addition to more than a dozen sea charts, there is also a set of exercises called "Nine Skies Free and Easy True Scroll" that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage.
From the ninth heaven to the underworld, I can roam freely.
This is a wind-attributed technique. It seems that Master Kuangfeng is a cultivator with wind spiritual roots.
The Han family did not have any cultivators with wind spiritual roots, so this set of skills was useless to the Han family. However, they did not make the trip in vain after obtaining a set of third-order mid-grade defensive formations and more than a dozen sea charts, plus a set of wind-attributed skills.
Han Zhangxiang's spiritual sense scanned the stone chamber several times. Han Daogui walked into the stone chamber and searched carefully, but did not find any other valuables.
"With these dozen sea charts, it will be much easier for us to hunt monsters in the future."
Han Daoxiu said excitedly that the jade slip recorded in detail the products and monster resources of many sea areas. This was invisible wealth and was much more valuable than a set of third-level formations.
"We were lucky this time. Our luck can't always be good. Changming encountered many traps. You should take this as a warning. This is the outer sea. Many cultivators disappear inexplicably every year."
Han Zhangxiang warned in a stern tone that the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling could be real or fake. If it was real, it would be easy to tell, but if it was fake, one might die.
Some monks, thinking of getting rich overnight, search everywhere for ancient monks' caves. Xie Xiu takes advantage of this and sets traps to lure these monks and kill them.
Han Daogui and Han Daoxiu have been hiding their identities these years, making a living by hunting monsters, blending in with the casual cultivators, and gathering information. Han Zhangxiang is reminding them not to be blinded by greed.
Han Daogui and Han Daoxiu agreed readily, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Han Zhangxiang and the other two carefully examined each jade slip to see if there were any other discoveries.
"Hey, the demon-luring grass. Master Kuangfeng actually found the demon-luring grass. It's in the area controlled by the Righteous Alliance."
Han Daogui said excitedly that the demon-luring grass was a special spiritual herb that would grow a leaf every three hundred years. The demon-luring grass that was over three hundred years old would emit a special smell, and the monsters could smell the smell of the demon-luring grass from a long distance. However, it was very difficult to cultivate the demon-luring grass artificially, and it would wither if not handled with care. There was no demon-luring grass for sale on the market.
Once the demon-luring grass is planted, it cannot be transplanted within three hundred years, otherwise it will surely die.
In his early years, True Man Kuangfeng discovered seven two-hundred-year-old demon-luring grasses. If they were forcibly transplanted, the demon-luring grasses would surely die. He deliberately set up a set of restrictions to protect the demon-luring grasses. Before his death, he recorded the location of the demon-luring grasses on a jade slip. True Man Kuangfeng hoped that someone with a destiny would obtain his mantle and have a chance to help him kill a Jindan cultivator from the Three Immortals Island. It was because True Man Kuangfeng offended this person that he left the sphere of influence of the Three Immortals Island and operated in the sphere of influence of the Righteous Alliance. He never expected to die at the hands of a demon beast.
"If there is a chance, I will help you get revenge."
Han Zhangxiang promised that Master Kuangfeng hoped that the destined person would become strong enough to help Master Kuangfeng get revenge. This request was not excessive. Han Zhangxiang agreed to avenge Master Kuangfeng, but when to avenge him would depend on Han Zhangxiang's strength.
"The Righteous Alliance is also looking for the Demon-Luring Grass. If we can get seven 300-year-old Demon-Luring Grasses, we should be able to exchange them for two Jindan spiritual objects."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice, his tone excited.
The family is now in urgent need of Jindan spiritual objects so that it can cultivate more Jindan monks.
Han Daogui and Han Daoxiu looked excited; perhaps this was their chance. They were both over a hundred years old. Han Zhangxiang had sent them out and promised to help them practice, otherwise they would not be willing to become independent practitioners and travel around the world.
"If we can exchange for two Jindan, there will definitely be one for you. Changming is already able to refine Jindan Yuye. When you cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building, the family will give you a share of Jindan Yuye."
Han Zhangxiang smiled and promised that Han Daogui and Han Zhangxiang still had a lifespan of sixty years. They were already in the late stage of foundation building. If they could cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building, he could give them spiritual objects for forming elixir and help them reach the Jindan stage.
Han Daogui and Han Daoxiu were overjoyed and nodded in thanks.
"Let's go! Let's go find the demon-luring grass first."
Han Zhangxiang waved his sleeves and strode out. Han Daogui and Han Daoxiu hurriedly followed.
After leaving the cave, Han Zhangxiang took out a red gourd and carried them into the sky. Not long after, they disappeared into the horizon.
·······
Red Algae Sea, Huludao.
Qianyang Peak, a secret room.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on a cushion. The Qingyan Burning Sky Furnace not far away was engulfed in billowing flames, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted through the room.
After a while, Han Changming pinched his fingers and the flame went out. The cover of the Qingyan Burning Sky Furnace flew up. Han Changming stood up and came to the side of the alchemy furnace in one step. He glanced around and a look of joy appeared on his face.
There are seven light blue pills in the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace. Each pill has pill patterns on it, and they are medium-grade Youshui Pills.
He is now able to refine Golden Elixir Jade Liquid, Ghost Water Pill and Purple Yang Pill, and there is still a small amount of elixirs in the Suzaku Space. If he had not obtained the Suzaku Pendant, his alchemy level would not have improved so quickly.
At this moment, a sound transmission note flew in. Han Changming crushed it, and Han Daobin's voice rang out: "Changming, Bailing Sanren brought a senior to visit, do you think you should let them in?"
"Bai Ling San Ren!"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He had met Bailing Sanren at the Red Algae Conference, and less than half a year had passed before Bailing Sanren came to visit him. It was indeed strange.
He put away the Ghost Water Pill and strode out.
After leaving his residence, Han Changming stomped his right foot on the ground and turned into a yellow light and flew away into the air.
Outside Huludao, Bailing Sanren and a charming young woman in a purple dress were standing in the void. The young woman in the purple dress had snow-white skin, a purple red hairpin on her head, and her face was slightly pale.
"Fellow Daoist Dai, is this fellow Daoist Han's alchemy skills as high as you say?"
The young woman in the purple dress frowned and said, her face full of doubt.
"Hehe, I have personally taken the pills made by Han Daoyou, and the quality is much better than those on the market. If Madam Mu could have asked the Tiandan Sect's alchemist to do it, she wouldn't have come to Huludao with me. I have personally taken the pills made by Han Daoyou, and the quality is much better than those on the market. Don't worry!"
Bailing Sanren chuckled, with a meaningful expression on his face.
At the Red Algae Assembly, Bailing Sanren exchanged several Purple Yang Pills with Han Changming. After taking them, he found that the effects were much better than he had imagined. From this, it can be seen that Han Changming's alchemy level is not low.
One of his good friends was injured and needed a specific elixir to heal his wound, but this elixir was not available on the market. His friend gathered the materials and asked someone to make the elixir. When Bailing Sanren learned the news, he brought her to Huludao to visit Han Changming.
The young woman in the purple skirt relaxed her expression and nodded, saying, "For the sake of our friendship over the years, I will trust you for once."
A beam of yellow light flew out from Huludao and instantly landed in front of them. It was Han Changming.
"Friend Han, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Bailing Sanren said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
The casual cultivators make a living by hunting monsters. In order to obtain resources for cultivation, they will go to some secret forbidden areas to look for treasures, where they may get hurt. Therefore, the casual cultivators have a great demand for elixirs. High-level alchemists are the ones that the casual cultivators most want to make friends with, as they can save their lives at critical moments.
After Bailing Sanren took the Ziyang Pill, he was certain that Han Changming's alchemy skills must be very high, but he did not have many opportunities to practice. Han Changming is not well-known now, and if Bailing Sanren approaches him at this time, if Han Changming grows up, Bailing Sanren will definitely benefit from it.
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He and Bailing Sanren were not close friends, but they had exchanged things before. Why did Bailing Sanren seem like a different person when they met this time
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Han Changming became wary.
His eyes quickly swept over the young woman in the purple dress, and he suddenly realized that the young woman in the purple dress was obviously injured and was most likely here to ask for medicine.
He doesn’t know how to refine third-level healing pills now. There are third-level healing pill recipes, but the Han family has not collected all the materials.
"Not bad, Fellow Daoist Dai, this fellow Daoist is..."
Han Changming's gaze fell on the young woman in purple dress.
"My name is Mu Xue. I have met Fellow Daoist Han. Fellow Daoist Dai said that Fellow Daoist Han is very good at refining pills. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Han to help me refine some pills. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han is willing to help me?"
The young woman in the purple dress said politely.
"Friend Han, Madam Mu has been my good friend for many years. Please help me."
Bailing Sanren agreed with a smile, his face full of anticipation.
"What kind of elixir do you want to make? How many ingredients do you have?"
Han Changming opened his mouth and asked. It was common in the world of immortal cultivation to ask someone to refine pills. In his early years, Han Changming had asked Lu Yun from Tinghai Pavilion to refine detoxification pills to eliminate the residual poison in the clan leader's body. If the residual poison had not been eliminated, the clan leader would not have had the opportunity to advance to the Jindan stage.
"Soul-replenishing pill! I got the recipe, and the ingredients are enough to start the furnace three times."
Mu Xue said in a voice transmission that her soul was damaged and she didn't want too many people to know. A damaged soul was a very serious matter. If the soul could not be repaired, not to mention that her cultivation would stagnate, she would also suffer in a fight with others.
The elixir that can repair the soul is extremely precious. Mu Xue went to many large markets but couldn't buy any elixir that can repair the soul. She spent a lot of money to get the recipe for the soul-repairing elixir and spent all her family's money to get the materials for three furnaces.
