Hundreds of feet underground on the deserted island, Han Zhangxiang was wrapped in a soft yellow light and moving rapidly towards the ground at an extremely fast speed.
His face was pale, and he looked as if he had exhausted too much magic power.
Not long after, Han Zhangxiang stopped, took out a light green gourd, poured out some light green liquid from it, and smeared it evenly on his body, emitting a faint fishy smell.
The green liquid is an exorcising liquid that can remove the smell of monsters and herbs from your body. This is something Han Benmin made based on an ancient recipe, and it's quite effective, removing all sorts of odors from your body.
The temptation of the monster-luring grass was too great. Han Zhangxiang had not expected that it could attract more than a dozen third-level monsters. If it were not for the poisonous dragon blocking these third-level monsters, Han Zhangxiang would not have been able to escape.
He did not expect the poisonous dragon to lure away other third-level monsters, so he had to find a safe place to heal his wounds.
Han Zhangxiang sat cross-legged, meditating and regulating his breathing, holding two medium-grade spirit stones in his hands, absorbing the spiritual energy inside and restoring his magic power.
He didn't have any third-level elixirs to restore his magic power, nor did he have things like thousand-year-old spiritual milk. Absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones to restore his magic power was the quickest way.
After a cup of tea, Han Zhangxiang's face turned rosy, and under his feet there were more than a dozen useless spirit stones that had been drained of their spiritual energy.
He carefully returned to the ground. There were some green scales and some black feathers scattered on the beach, and the third-level monsters had disappeared.
Han Zhangxiang observed for more than half an hour and found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved and turned into a red light and flew away.
Not long after, Han Zhangxiang disappeared into the horizon.
······
Huludao, Qianyang Peak.
In a secret room, Han Changming sat cross-legged on the ground, his body surrounded by a red and yellow spiritual light.
After a while, Han Changming opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his aura was much stronger than before.
Han Deling and Han Debiao have been in seclusion for eight years and have not yet come out.
The spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist began to move. He slapped the spirit beast bag, and a purple crystal flying scorpion flew out of it, circling around him, making a sharp hissing sound.
He took out the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and poured out a insect-raising pill from it. This was a mid-grade insect-raising pill.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion seemed to smell something delicious, and circled around Han Changming, making an impatient hissing sound.
Han Changming took out a green wooden box, inside of which was a blood-red demon pill. This was the inner pill of a third-grade intermediate-quality blood toad beast.
With the middle-grade insect-breeding pill and the inner pill of the third-grade middle-grade blood toad beast, the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion should be able to advance to the third level. Over the years, it has swallowed countless poisonous herbs and poisons.
Han Changming fed the Insect Breeding Pill and the Blood Toad Beast's inner pill to the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion was like a chicken with blood injected, flapping its thin wings non-stop and circling in the room.
After more than half an hour, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion seemed to be tired of flying and landed in front of Han Changming. It did not move and did not respond no matter how Han Changming tried to communicate with it.
Han Changming put it back into the spirit beast bag, hoping that the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion could advance to the third level so that it could provide more help to Han Changming.
He took out the communication disk and contacted Han Daobin to ask about the family's recent situation.
"Changming, Changying has come out of seclusion. She has successfully entered the late stage of foundation building. She will go to the open sea in a while. Do you have anything to take to the open sea?"
Han Daobin asked.
"Fifth sister has advanced to the late stage of foundation building? This is good news! How about this! Uncle Daobin, please contact her and ask her to come to my place to talk!"
Han Changming put away the communication disk and walked out.
Han Benfu, Ye Xin and Ye Xue were all in seclusion, Han Benyong was in charge of Kuixingfang City, Liu Weiwei and Han Benzhi lived in another courtyard, which looked empty.
Not long after, a sound transmission note flew in.
Han Changming crushed the sound transmission note, and Han Changying's voice suddenly rang out: "Ninth brother, I'm coming."
Han Changming opened the gate, invited Han Changying in, and made tea to entertain Han Changying.
Han Changying's face was full of smiles. Thanks to the mid-grade Miasma-Breaking Pill, she successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building. If it weren't for the Miasma-Breaking Pill, she might have been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for the rest of her life.
After chatting for a while, Han Changying got down to business: "Ninth brother, I will be heading to the outer sea in a while. Uncle Nine, Seventeenth Sister, Eighteenth Brother, and Sun Hong will all go with me. Do you have anything to say to the clan leader?"
Sun Hong is a casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who joined the Han family. He has not much time left to live, and he wants to help his grandchildren build their foundations before he passes away, so he volunteers to go to the open sea with Han Changying.
Han Changming thought for a moment and said, "Let's take Ben Yong with us! This child needs more training. Once the tribe is settled, we will also head to the outer sea."
Han Benzhi can no longer be relied upon. Han Changming hopes that Han Benyong will have a bright future, so he lets him go to the open sea with Han Changying for training. Han Benfu has also gone to the open sea for training for several years.
"No problem, I'll take good care of Ben Yong."
Han Changying agreed with a smile. She had been in Haoran City for more than ten years and was familiar with the situation in Haoran City.
Just then, a sound transmission note flew in.
Han Changming crushed the sound transmission note, and Han Daojing's voice suddenly rang out: "Changming, Liu Guangyang is here, and he said he has something important to report."
Han Changming opened the gate and saw Han Daojing standing at the door. Han Daojing had already cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building and could try to break through to the Jindan stage.
"Uncle Daojing, you have reached the great perfection of foundation building. That's great."
Han Changming said with a smile that Han Daojing had remained in the late stage of foundation building for fifty or sixty years. Han Changming did not find it strange that he had advanced to the great perfection of foundation building.
Han Daojing nodded and said, "Liu Guangyang came over and said he had something important to tell you personally. He only wants to tell you. Weiwei is accompanying him now."
"Tell me in person?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He took out the communication disk, contacted Liu Weiwei, and asked her to bring Liu Guangyang over.
Not long after, Liu Guangyang and Liu Weiwei came over.
Han Changming asked Liu Weiwei to entertain Han Daojing and Han Changying, and he and Liu Guangyang went into the attic.
"My dear relatives, if you have something to say, just tell me! There are no outsiders here."
Han Changming said in a gentle voice.
"My dear, I found an ancient monk's cave residence on Thousand Poison Island."
Liu Guangyang said solemnly that he did not have much time left. After Liu Weiwei married into the Han family, the Liu family had an extra layer of protection. However, Liu Weiwei could not live in the Liu family permanently. Once Liu Guangyang passed away, the Liu family would still be in danger of being exterminated as they had no foundation-building cultivators.
The Han family has been collecting poisonous herbs and poisons, as well as elixirs that help spiritual insects advance. Liu Weiwei also mentioned this to Liu Guangyang, asking the Liu family to keep an eye out for news in this regard.
Thousand Poison Island is a dangerous place in the Red Algae Sea, and it is also the place with the most poisonous insects and beasts. Liu Guangyang accidentally learned that there is a kind of poisonous grass somewhere on the Thousand Poison Island, which is beneficial to the advancement of spiritual insects. He organized ten Qi-refining monks with a short lifespan and sent them into the Thousand Poison Island to look for spiritual medicine.
Ten people entered Thousand Poison Island, but only one came out alive. He died not long after. This person left a will before his death. They found an ancient cultivator's cave, but encountered a second-level poisonous insect and were completely wiped out.
"Ancient monk's cave!"
Han Changming frowned. By chance, he inherited the second-level alchemist's skills, as well as the Qiantu Zhenyang Gong. Strictly speaking, this was not treasure hunting. He discovered it by accident. In his early years, he went treasure hunting with Li Yutang in the outer sea, but it turned out to be a trap. This made him disgusted when he heard about the ancient cultivators' caves.
Liu Guangyang is his relative and will not live long, so he thought that Liu Guangyang would not lie to him.
