It is very inconvenient to transport 20,000 mortals. Han Zhangxiang and Han Changming had already discussed it and decided to place the 20,000 mortals on three small islands, with more than 6,000 people on each island.
The three small islands are Zi Yang Island, Jin Guang Island and Qing Feng Island. The three islands are not far from Zi Yue Island. Among them, Qing Feng Island is the farthest from Zi Yue Island, more than 50,000 miles away. Ye Xin has already set up a teleportation array.
Three Qi-refining monks were stationed on each of the three small islands, and a second-level formation was arranged on each island. The foundation-building monks could also hold out for a period of time and could then teleport back to Ziyue Island for help.
The mortal named Qi Dazhi was brought to Han Changming. Qi Dazhi looked nervous.
"Looking at your clothes, you don't look like an ordinary person. Tell me about your background."
Han Changming asked casually. Qi Dazhi's name was on the roster.
Qi Dazhi was originally a mortal descendant of a Qi family of immortal cultivators. However, the Qi family was attacked by monsters and suffered heavy losses, so they had to evacuate to the open sea, leaving behind tens of thousands of mortals. Naturally, it was impossible for the Qi family to return to the inland sea with tens of thousands of mortals as the cost was too high.
"I was born in the Qi family of Chixia Island. Because the poisonous dragon led other third-level monsters to attack our Qi family, our Qi family suffered heavy losses. A large number of relatives were eaten by monsters. I hid in a cave and luckily escaped."
Qi Dazhi told the truth with a sad look on his face.
"How many Jindan cultivators are there in your Qi family? Among these 20,000 mortals, how many are your Qi family disciples?"
Han Changming asked, one must be on guard against others. Among these 20,000 mortals, there might be spies planted by other forces. He would rather judge others with his own standards and ask about the origins of these people.
"I don't know. I have been living on a small island inhabited by mortals. Because one of my descendants has spiritual roots, I have been treated better. Unfortunately, he has died, otherwise he would not have taken me with him. There are more than 5,000 people here, all of whom are descendants of our Qi family."
Qi Dazhi said with some regret.
"Has anyone ever produced spiritual roots?"
Han Changming's gaze fell on the dozen or so beautiful mortals leaning against Qi Dazhi, and he instantly understood that since this guy had so many wives and concubines, it was not surprising that there were people with spiritual roots.
There are more than 5,000 members of the Qi family. This is not a good thing. Judging from Qi Dazhi's actions, this man has some courage, but he cannot be allowed to stay with other members of the Qi family. Keeping him may be useful in the future.
"Your wife and children can stay on Ziyue Island, and the rest of you can live on the three small islands."
Qi Dazhi thanked him profusely and knelt down to kowtow.
Qi Dazhi had twenty-five wives and concubines and over two hundred children, which surprised Han Changming. He left more than a thousand mortals to live on Ziyue Island and built a small town for them to live in on the vacant land in the southwest corner of Ziyue Island, allowing them to be self-sufficient.
The other mortals were placed on three small islands, and more than 5,000 Qi family members were scattered on the three islands to prevent them from causing trouble.
It took the Han family two days to settle these mortals.
Han Zhangxiang gave the mountain where he lived a new name, Jinhulu Peak. After the Han family settled in Ziyue Island, they planted a large number of gourd vines on the island, and many gourd vines were planted on Jinhulu Peak.
Han Changming's cave also has a lot of gourd vines planted in it. The gourd is the symbol of the Han family, and every cultivator in the Han family has a gourd magic weapon.
In Jinhulu Peak, a vast manor, Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang sat in a stone pavilion to discuss the future development of the family.
There are abundant resources of monsters in the outer sea. Han Changming plans to start with the monsters. With the monster-luring grass and the Five Thunder Monster-Slaying Formation, Han Changming feels he has a good chance of success.
"Clan leader, our clan is extremely poor. How about using the demon-luring grass to lure in some third-level demon beasts and using the formation to kill them?"
Han Changming suggested setting traps on Ziyue Island to hunt monsters, which would be safer.
If we don't hunt monsters, we can't stay on the island forever because we have no source of income.
"That poisonous dragon hasn't died yet, so let's forget it! If we attract this poisonous dragon, even if we can successfully kill it, we will suffer heavy losses, and the gains will not outweigh the losses."
Han Zhangxiang hesitated for a moment and rejected the proposal.
He understood Han Changming's desire to make his family rich, but since they had just arrived, they should be cautious. Han Zhangxiang didn't want to do anything too aggressive.
Han Changming felt that Han Zhangxiang was too cautious, but what Han Zhangxiang said made sense, so he did not object.
"In that case, let's look for monsters nearby! I hope we can hunt and kill some of them."
"I will take De Biao and the others to hunt monsters. Chang Ming, you stay in Ziyue Island and train a few more alchemists. Our family needs to rely on elixirs to gain a foothold."
Han Zhangxiang looked solemn. He had a skill that could help him gain a better foothold in the outer sea. Han Zhangxiang's weapon-refining skills were average, while Han Changming could refine medium-quality elixirs. The Han family planned to start with elixirs. The thing that was most in demand in the outer sea was demon elixirs. As long as the quality of the elixirs was good, there would be no worries about sales.
"Okay! Chief, please be careful."
After Han Changming said this, he realized that it was a bit redundant. With Han Zhangxiang's personality, he would not do anything too dangerous.
After the discussion, Han Zhangxiang took Han Debiao, Han Daogui, Han Changyan, Han Changwu, Han Changjun and others to leave Ziyue Island and search for monsters in the nearby sea. Han Changming stayed on Ziyue Island to teach his people how to make pills.
Ye Xue was responsible for teaching the tribesmen how to make talismans, Ye Xin took Han Duanzheng to set up formations and restrictions, and Han Changxin taught the tribesmen how to grow spiritual herbs. Every member of the tribe was busy.
······
Inland Sea, Qingyun Sect.
True Man Qingyan stood on a steep cliff, looking at the thunderclouds in the distance, his expression tense.
In a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a manor covering an area of more than 20 acres. A huge thundercloud floats above the valley, continuously striking down thick silver lightning. The silver lightning strikes the buildings, causing them to collapse instantly, and strikes the trees, causing them to immediately catch fire and burn into ashes.
The smoke and dust rolled like a sandstorm.
Ten breaths later, the thunderclouds dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
True Man Qingyan turned into a long green rainbow and flew into the valley. Lin Xuan stood on a pile of ruins, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure, and he had unexpectedly entered the Jindan stage.
True Man Qingyan spent a high price to buy a pill for replenishing vitality from the Tiandan Sect and gave it to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan successfully advanced to the Jindan stage with the help of three spiritual objects for forming the golden elixir. Perhaps because one of his hands was broken, Lin Xuan formed a mid-grade golden elixir instead of the high-grade golden elixir he expected.
As he was disappointed, his hatred for Ye Xin grew deeper. If Ye Xin had not caused him to break one of his hands, he would have had a good chance of forming a top-grade golden elixir.
"Thank the Grandmaster for blessing you, Xuan'er, you have finally entered the Jindan stage."
True Man Qingyan said with a smile, his face full of joy.
"Thanks to the Seven-Star Yuan-Replenishing Pill that Master got from the Tiandan Sect, otherwise I might not be able to advance to the Jindan stage."
Lin Xuan expressed his gratitude. True Man Qing Yan had nothing to say to him and he was grateful to True Man Qing Yan from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren’t for the Seven-Star Buyuan Pill, he probably wouldn’t have been able to advance to the Jindan stage, let alone the middle-grade golden pill.
"You call me Master. This is what a master should do. Well, you have just formed your elixir. Find a place to retreat and consolidate your cultivation. We can talk about other things later."
True Man Qingyan took Lin Xuan and flew towards his cave, and his outer disciples rebuilt the cave for Lin Xuan.
