Time flies, and seven years passed quickly.
Huludao, Qianyang Peak, a secret room.
Han Changming's body was covered by a red and yellow glow, and his eyes were slightly closed.
After a while, the red and yellow light on Han Changming's body dissipated, he opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Finally I have entered the middle stage of Jindan."
Han Changming let out a breath and talked to himself with a look of joy on his face.
All in all, he has been in the golden elixir stage for more than 20 years. If he had not relied on the power of the elixir, he would have needed decades of hard practice to reach this stage.
With the Taiyi Hualing Gourd in his hand, the elixirs Han Changming took were at least mid-grade, and at best high-grade. Most Jindan cultivators only took ordinary elixirs, so it was no surprise that Han Changming's cultivation speed was faster.
It is estimated that only the elite children of powerful forces can take mid-grade elixirs in bulk. An ordinary third-grade elixir costs tens of thousands of spirit stones each, and a third-grade elixir of low quality is even more valuable.
Han Changming had cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, and there were only a few Ziyang Pills left in his hand. Perhaps because he had taken too many Ziyang Pills, he found that the effect of Ziyang Pills was getting worse and worse, so he had to switch to another third-level pill.
The spirit beast bag on his waist began to vibrate. Han Changming slapped the spirit beast bag, and a purple light flew out of it and landed in front of him. It was the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion.
The body of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was much larger than before, and its tail stinger had more blood-colored patterns. Judging from its aura, it had advanced to the third level.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion had been dormant for more than ten years. Relying on the mid-grade Insect Breeding Pill, the inner pill of the third-grade mid-grade Blood Toad Beast and the diluted Ten Thousand Poisons Plaster, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion successfully advanced to the third level.
It neighed happily and circled around Han Changming, as if asking for something.
Han Changming was both surprised and delighted. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion had advanced to the third level. He now had another great support. It was worth his efforts in cultivating the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
With a thought, he asked the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion to demonstrate its new magical power. When spiritual beasts and insects advance to a higher realm, they will master a magical power. This is an innate talent. Immortal cultivators practice different techniques and master different magical powers. Therefore, spiritual beasts and insects attach great importance to bloodline, and what magical powers they can master has a lot to do with their bloodline.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion spewed out a stream of purple flame as thick as a baby's arm and hit the ground.
With a muffled "crackling" sound, a hole about ten feet in size appeared on the ground. Han Changming smelled a slightly sweet smell and felt a little dizzy.
Apparently, the flames spewed out by the Amethyst Flying Scorpion are highly poisonous, which is not bad.
As soon as he thought about it, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion made an extremely strange hissing sound. Han Changming felt his head buzzing, as if someone was hitting him on the head with a sledgehammer, and he felt dizzy.
With a third-level purple crystal flying scorpion, plus a third-level puppet beast and ancient treasure, Han Changming would dare to fight against a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Of course, this is only theory. If he really encounters a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, Han Changming will have no choice but to run away. He knows his own limitations, and the reason he can cultivate to the middle stage of Jindan so quickly is mainly due to the power of elixirs.
Once the family settles down in the outer sea, Han Changming will practice in seclusion.
With the current strength of the Han family, they are simply unable to support three Jindan cultivators and more than twenty foundation-building cultivators. They are just living off their past capital. The family urgently needs to open up new sources of income, and the outer sea is the best choice.
He took out two light green grasses and fed them to the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
After eating two green grasses, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was still not satisfied. However, Han Changming did not have many poisonous grasses on him, so he could only put the Amethyst Flying Scorpion back into the spirit beast bag.
He flipped his hand and took out the Spirit Eye Jade. A small half of the Spirit Eye Jade returned to normal, but most of it was still grayish white.
The spiritual vein of Huludao is only of the lower third grade, and the recovery speed of the spiritual eye jade is very slow.
Han Changming stood up and walked out.
Ye Xue and Han Benfu were chatting in the stone pavilion, the mother and daughter were talking and laughing.
They have all advanced to the late stage of foundation building. In comparison, Han Benfu's aura is stronger than Ye Xue's. This is not surprising, as Ye Xue has been delayed for a long time in order to take care of her children.
All in all, Ye Xue has been in seclusion for more than ten years, so it is not surprising that she has advanced to the late stage of foundation building. Han Benfu has been in seclusion for almost twenty years. With her aptitude of double spiritual roots, it is natural for her to advance to the late stage of foundation building.
Han Benfu smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, are you out of seclusion?"
Han Changming nodded, looked at Ye Xue, and asked, "Xue'er, hasn't Xin'er come out of seclusion yet?"
Seven years ago, Ye Xin went into seclusion to improve her skills. The time it takes to improve one's skills varies for different cultivators.
"My sister hasn't come out of retreat yet. Oh, the clan leader has come out of retreat. He just contacted us and asked about your situation. I told him that you haven't come out of retreat yet, so he asked my husband to come out of retreat and go to his residence."
Ye Xue answered truthfully.
Han Changming nodded, chatted for a while, and went straight to the clan leader's residence.
Not long after, Han Changming came to the clan leader's residence, where Han Deling, Han Debiao and Han Zhangxiang were chatting.
Han Zhangxiang's face was flushed and his eyes were full of joy. He took a bottle of Ziyang Pills given by Han Changming. With eight ordinary Ziyang Pills and two mid-grade Ziyang Pills, Han Zhangxiang successfully advanced to the middle stage of Jindan.
"Changming, you have advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. That's great. Haha."
Han Zhangxiang felt the powerful aura emanating from Han Changming and was overjoyed.
In this way, the Han family can develop overseas.
Han Deling and Han Debiao also showed joy on their faces. With the increase in the number of high-level cultivators, the Han family has been living off their old capital in recent years. If they continue like this, they will be out of money sooner or later.
"Clan leader, you have also advanced to the middle stage of the Jindan stage. This is great! Our family can now expand to the outer seas."
Han Changming said with a smile, he knew very well that the family could not support so many monks now and had to find new ways to make money.
He sat down and chatted with the three clan leaders.
Before Han Zhangxiang went into seclusion, he sent Han Changyan to the open sea to inquire about the matter of leasing islands.
The outer sea is rich in resources for cultivating immortals, and there are countless islands. The human race only occupies a small part of the islands. In order to attract more high-level cultivators to develop in the outer sea and compete with the demon race, the human race’s top leaders have introduced many good policies.
The four major forces all lease islands to other countries. If you lease an island from any force, you must assume certain obligations and make regular tributes. The major forces provide protection to prevent cultivators from being persecuted by monsters. Cultivators hunt monsters, and monsters will also hunt cultivators. It's the law of the jungle.
Among the four major forces, the Righteous Path Alliance is the best choice. The Han family has been active in the Righteous Path Alliance’s territory and has accumulated some connections. It would be better for them to rent an island from the Righteous Path Alliance.
Han Changyan had inquired about it. If he wanted to rent an island with abundant spiritual energy, he would need to complete the tasks assigned by the Righteous Alliance. To rent an island with average spiritual energy, he could go through the formalities directly. This was also normal. The more abundant the spiritual energy of an island, the more cultivators would compete for it.
If you have rented an island and want to change to a better one, you need to complete specific tasks. Therefore, it is best to rent a good island and not change it casually.
"Chief, I think it would be better for us to rent an island with a third-grade superior spiritual vein. It doesn't matter if it's a little troublesome."
Han Changming suggested that the more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster the Spirit Eye Jade would recover, and the faster the Taiyi Hualing Gourd would produce spiritual water.
Han Zhangxiang shook his head and said, "De Ling has to stay in Huludao. Two Jindan cultivators cannot occupy such a good island. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. We can just rent an island with a third-level medium-quality island. If De Biao advances to the Jindan stage and his strength allows, it won't be too late for us to change islands."
The Han family has finally achieved the current situation. Han Zhangxiang seeks stability, takes steady steps and makes gradual progress.
"Let's talk about it in the open sea! There's no point in talking about this now. Maybe there are better islands out there!"
Han Changming suggested that he didn't have to rent an island with a third-grade superior spiritual vein, it depends on the situation.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and said, "I thought so too. You guys pack up and we'll leave in a few days."
After returning to Qianyang Peak, Han Changming told Ye Xue and Han Benfu the news of going to the open sea.
"We can finally occupy a good island. It would be best if there is underground fire."
Han Benfu smiled and said that the underground fire was good for both alchemy and refining. With the underground fire, it would be easier for the Han family to train refiners and alchemists, and a lot of spirit stones could be saved.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Underground fire? I hope so! We'll talk about it when we get to the open sea."
"Husband, are we going to develop overseas?"
Ye Xin's voice suddenly rang out, and just as she finished speaking, Ye Xin walked out of the attic. She had spent seven years practicing "Tianhe Dafa" to the sixth level. If a Jindan cultivator changed his practice, it would take longer.
"Madam, you are out of quarantine, that's great. We will go there together when the time comes. After everything is settled, we can pick up Duan Yu and the others."
Han Changming smiled and said that Han Duanyu was already a young man, and it had been seventeen years since Han Changming held the Jindan Ceremony.
Han Duanyu and Han Duanxian have poor aptitude, and their cultivation speed is as slow as a turtle. Han Duanyu is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Han Duanxian is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. They have taken a lot of elixirs, and that is only because they have a good background and are protected by Han Changming. If it were other members of the Han family, they would have basically no hope of building a foundation in this lifetime.
As long as they cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining, Han Changming will give them top-grade foundation-building pills to ensure that they can successfully build their foundation. Being able to advance to the foundation-building stage is already very good for them, and being able to reincarnate is also a kind of strength.
Ye Xin nodded and said, "The outer sea is rich in immortal cultivation resources, and our family can have a better future. However, the outer sea is very dangerous, and high returns mean high risks."
"Everything you do is dangerous. If you practice too hard, you might even go astray! If we want to grow and develop, we must go to the outer seas. It's normal to have risks and it's normal for people to die. Try to stay by my side and don't run around. I'll help Xin'er form the elixir first, and then I'll help you form the elixir later."
Han Changming has two kinds of spiritual objects for forming elixir, Golden Elixir Jade Liquid and Fu Jin Fruit. He plans to get a few more spiritual objects for forming elixir and help Ye Xin form elixir first.
He needs to get at least two more golden elixir-forming spiritual objects so that Ye Xin can produce high-quality golden elixir. Even if he fails, Ye Xin still has a lot of life left. Han Changming will help her get golden elixir-forming spiritual objects. The path to immortality is long, but with a Taoist companion by her side, she won't be so lonely.
Ye Xin smiled sweetly, with a happy expression on her face.
That night, Han Changming and his family had dinner together. Liu Weiwei also wanted to go to the open sea, but her cultivation was too low. Han Changming asked her to stay in Huludao to practice first, and then pick up Liu Weiwei and Han Benzhi after they settled down in the open sea.
Han Benzhi had no objection. He was not very interested in the open sea. He would go wherever Liu Weiwei went.
After dinner, Han Changming returned to his residence to practice.
Three days later, Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang left Huludao with dozens of clansmen. They mobilized most of the elite members of the family. As a result, the defense of Huludao was left empty, but the pressure on logistics was reduced, so the monks of Huludao had no problem being self-sufficient.
