A quarter of an hour later, Han Changming and the other two appeared at the gate of a vast manor. On the plaque at the gate of the manor were inscribed three large golden characters "Penglai Ju". Penglai Ju was the largest inn in Penglaifang City.
Han Changming rented an independent courtyard and paid one month's rent.
The yard is about an acre in size. On the left side is a three-story green pavilion, next to it is a simple green stone pavilion and a small garden with many exotic flowers and plants.
The three of them sat down in the stone pavilion, and Ye Xin made tea to entertain Fairy Qinglian.
Fairy Qinglian was not polite. She picked up the teacup and drank it. After chatting for a while, Fairy Qinglian got straight to the point and asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, do you have any spiritual water? I am willing to exchange it with you."
She had used a lot of spiritual water to make pills, but none of the effects were as good as Han Changming's spiritual water. After all, it was spiritual water obtained from Wanmo Island, and the Wanmo Palace was once the largest sect in the East China Sea. The spiritual water from Wanmo Island was of better quality, and Fairy Qinglian could understand that.
Han Changming looked embarrassed and said, "I don't have much spiritual water left. How about I take out 100 kilograms of third-level spiritual water and exchange it for healing pills or other special pills?"
Han Zhangxiang's accident served as a reminder to Han Changming that he could only produce ordinary elixirs but not special ones. Most of the healing elixirs sold on the market were ordinary stuff. The real good stuff would naturally not be sold casually. This was also the origin of barter.
The types of pills that an alchemist can make are limited, and it is normal to exchange pills with other alchemists.
Han Changming took out a small and exquisite green gourd and handed it to Fairy Qinglian.
Fairy Qinglian uncorked the bottle, and a stream of pure spiritual energy gushed out. She sniffed it a few times, and was refreshed. She pondered for a moment, then took out two exquisite blue porcelain bottles, handed them to Han Changming, and said, "This is Qinglian Jade Liquid, which is made from 700-year-old Qingyu Lotus as the main material. It can cure all kinds of poisons. It is a new detoxification pill I developed. I have tested it, and the effect is quite good."
Han Changming took the two blue porcelain bottles, uncorked them, and a faint floral fragrance wafted out. He put the bottle mouth to his nose and sniffed a few times, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"make a deal."
Han Changming accepted the two bottles of Green Lotus Jade Liquid with a look of joy on his face.
The Seven Star Recovery Pill can heal common injuries, such as those caused by lightning strikes. If the injuries are relatively minor, they can be cured. However, if the injuries are too severe, the Seven Star Recovery Pill is useless. Han Changming does not have any detoxification pills, and these two bottles of Green Lotus Jade Liquid just fill the gap.
The two exchanged their experiences in alchemy, and Han Changming asked Fairy Qinglian about Chen Yanchuan's situation.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is the disciple of Tiansha Zhenren, but this person has a bad reputation. If it weren't for Tiansha Zhenren, he probably wouldn't be able to advance to the Jindan stage."
When Fairy Qinglian finished speaking, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Chen Yanchuan is a well-known pervert, and Fairy Qinglian has no good feelings towards him.
"Fairy Wang, how long do you plan to stay here? How about we go back together?"
Ye Xin suggested.
Fairy Qinglian's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked curiously, "Why? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Before I formed the elixir, there were some grudges."
Han Changming said somewhat vaguely.
Fairy Qinglian pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let you know when I leave! Let's go together. Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything wrong in Penglai Island, otherwise his reputation will be ruined. But you also have to be careful, this is Penglai Island's territory after all."
Han Changming belongs to the Righteous Alliance, so Fairy Qinglian will naturally not sit idly by. She also has a good personal relationship with Han Changming.
Han Changming and Ye Xin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and said yes.
After chatting for a while, Fairy Qinglian said goodbye and left.
"I didn't expect to meet Chen Yanchuan here. He is in charge of organizing the auction. It seems that he is very important."
Han Changming frowned and said that, in comparison, Chen Yanchuan posed a greater threat than Lin Xuan, so they should try not to operate on the territory of Penglai Island in the future.
"As long as we leave with Fairy Qinglian, there shouldn't be any danger."
Ye Xin said seriously.
"It's a rare trip, let's take a good look around! I hope to buy a mid-level magic weapon, or get a few Jindan spiritual items."
Han Changming had a look of longing on his face. The main purpose of their trip was to purchase magic weapons, and secondly to purchase spiritual objects for the Jindan stage. Han Benfu and Ye Xue would probably have reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage when they came out of retreat, but Han Changming only had two spiritual objects for the Jindan stage.
The two left their residence and wandered around.
······
In a secret room, Chen Yanchuan was reporting the situation to a pale-faced young man in a blue shirt. The young man in blue was Lu Yunjie, the descendant of Tiansha Zhenren. Lu Yunjie was ranked 20th on the Qianlong List.
"You did a good job. I spoke well of you in front of my great-grandfather to let you participate in the planning of the auction. You must do a good job and don't embarrass me."
Lu Yunjie ordered in a deep voice that Chen Yanchuan was the disciple of Tiansha Zhenren and also Lu Yunjie's minion.
"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will do my best. By the way, sir, I met two cultivators who I had a grudge against in the early years. They have already reached the Dan stage."
Chen Yanchuan said cautiously.
Lu Yunjie immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? Who is it? Tell me about it?"
Chen Yanchuan recounted what happened today, and also talked about how he came to have a feud with Han Changming.
"You're going to kill him?"
Lu Yunjie narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Chen Yanchuan shuddered and explained quickly, "I am not so stupid as to kill people and steal treasures in my own territory and ruin my reputation. But we can kill with someone else's knife. I have inquired about this person. He is an alchemist. We can stir up a conflict between him and Zhao Tuozi and kill him with Zhao Tuozi's hand. If that doesn't work, we can also divert the conflict and let him focus on Zhao Tuozi."
He had a personal grudge against Han Changming, but that happened decades ago. Chen Yanchuan naturally had not forgotten it, and he was not stupid enough to kill someone on Penglai Island.
Killing people for treasures is not uncommon in the open sea, but no one would be stupid enough to kill people for treasures at their doorstep. Zhenren Sanjue held a treasure appraisal conference, attracting a large number of high-level cultivators to participate. If the news of Chen Yanchuan killing people for treasures spread, Zhenren Sanjue's reputation would be affected to a certain extent, and Chen Yanchuan would not dare to do so even if he had a hundred courage.
Chen Yanchuan works for Lu Yunjie, and the number of his enemies who he has is at least eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators. Some of these cultivators have advanced to the Core Formation stage. It is impossible for Lu Yunjie to send people to kill all these Core Formation cultivators. That is unrealistic, and Lu Yunjie is not that stupid.
Zhao Tuozi is a third-rank alchemist. He is the third disciple of Sanjue Zhenren and is good at alchemy. However, he is a solitary person who is vindictive and difficult to get along with. Most of the cultivators who have fallen out with him have a bad ending.
There is no harmony within Penglai Island, there is also competition. Lu Yunjie and Zhao Tuozi are not on good terms, so he uses Zhao Tuozi to deal with Han Changming. No matter who wins, Lu Yunjie will not suffer any losses.
"What are you going to do? Tell me about your plan."
Lu Yunjie asked.
"I heard that the Qianli Twins are looking for someone to refine some unconventional elixir. They approached Zhao Tuozi, but it seems that Zhao Tuozi asked for too high a price. The Qianli Twins are looking for other people to help them refine the elixir. Young Master can introduce Fairy Qinglian to them. If Fairy Qinglian cannot refine it, you can introduce Fellow Daoist Han to them. If the elixir is successfully refined, Young Master will be credited for the recommendation. If it fails, they can only blame their bad luck. When Zhao Tuozi gets to know the news, he will definitely cause trouble for this person. It's like killing three birds with one stone."
Chen Yanchuan said this in a somewhat flattering tone. He was somewhat impressed by his own cleverness for being able to come up with such a brilliant idea.
Regardless of whether the pill can be refined, Lu Yunjie will not suffer any loss. Instead, he can make the two immortals Qianli owe him a favor, which is a sure profit.
The Qianli Twin Immortals are relatively well-known independent cultivators in the Jindan stage in the outer sea. Both of them are in the late Jindan stage and mainly operate in the territory of Sanxian Island.
Lu Yunjie nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Not bad, go and arrange it!"
"Yes, sir."
······
In a secret underground cave, hundreds of monks wearing ghost-face masks gathered here. On the stone walls were engraved a large number of mysterious runes, which were looming and emitting a vague prohibition wave.
In front of these monks was a bluestone platform more than ten feet high. An old man with a childlike face and white hair in a green robe stood on it. In front of him was a square green jade table, on which was a green porcelain vase.
"420,000 Spiritual Stones, deal. This bottle of Golden Elixir Jade Liquid belongs to this senior."
The old man in green robe said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man flew to the bluestone platform, paid all the spirit stones, and took away the bottle of golden elixir.
The old man in green robe flipped his hand and took out a blue jade box the size of a palm. He opened the jade box, revealing a blue round bead the size of a longan. It was misty and full of spiritual energy. It was obviously a magic weapon.
"The Mysterious Water Pearl, a mid-grade defensive magic weapon, has a base price of 200,000 Spiritual Stones. Each bid must be no less than 10,000 Spiritual Stones."
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and ten thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
······
The competition was fierce, and the Mysterious Water Pearl was eventually sold at a high price of 590,000.
"This auction is now over. Everyone please leave and return the masks."
Following the green-robed old man's words, the monks left the place one after another.
Half a minute later, Han Debiao walked out from the backyard of a teahouse with a faint smile on his face.
He had a sparring match with Lei Hu and was defeated by Lei Hu. This was not surprising as the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Han Debiao asked Lei Hu about the underground auction. Lei Hu casually told Han Debiao a place where five Golden Elixir Jade Liquids were being auctioned. Han Debiao successfully won one Golden Elixir Jade Liquid.
He had millions of spirit stones in his hands. He spent 420,000 spirit stones on the auction of the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid, and had 800,000 spirit stones left, which was enough to buy a top-grade magic weapon.
After Han Debiao formed the core, Han Changming gave him a lot of mid-grade elixirs to improve his magic power. In return, Han Debiao now bought a portion of golden elixir and jade liquid, intending to use it to help Han Benfu reach the core stage.
If Han Debiao had not obtained a large sum of money by killing the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, he would not have been so generous. Bidding for one portion of the Golden Elixir Jade Liquid was a favor, and he could only bid for one portion of the Golden Elixir Jade Liquid. He was not so selfless as to use up all his spirit stones to bid for the Golden Elixir Jade Liquid.
Han Debiao walked out of the teahouse and heard Han Changming's voice: "Uncle Wu, are you here for tea?"
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Han Changming and Ye Xin walking towards him.
When Han Changming and Ye Xin were purchasing goods, they heard that there was an underground auction here and immediately rushed to participate.
"Come and buy something. You're late. It's already over. I got a good thing that will be good for Benfu. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Han Debiao said with a smile that it was impossible for Han Changming and Ye Xin to come here specially to drink tea. They probably came to attend the auction. It was a pity that they were late.
Han Changming and Ye Xin nodded, and the three of them walked together.
After returning to his residence, Han Debiao took out a green porcelain bottle and handed it to Han Changming, saying with a smile: "Changming, I bought a portion of Golden Elixir Jade Liquid. You can keep it for Benfu to reach the Jindan stage! This girl has good aptitude, and the quality of the Jindan should not be too bad."
Han Changming winked at Ye Xin, who understood what he meant. She took out a green gourd and handed it to Han Debiao, saying with a smile, "Uncle Wu, this is the evil spirit from the beast tomb. It should be useful for your cultivation."
Han Debiao's eyes flashed with surprise. He pulled out the cork and a bone-chilling chill wafted out. He couldn't help but shiver.
"Not bad, thanks, Changming."
Han Debiao thanked him and accepted the gourd of evil energy. He didn't have much evil energy to begin with, and this gourd of evil energy was enough for him to cultivate to the middle stage of Jindan. The magical power of "Tiansha Zhenling Baodian" was relatively great, but it required a huge amount of evil energy to assist in cultivation. The evil energy could only be formed after thousands of years of evolution.
Evil energy can be used to set up formations, refine weapons, make elixirs or make talismans. It has a wide range of uses and many forces will collect evil energy.
Han Debiao has been looking for evil spirits over the years. His family helped him get some, but the quantity is not much. This gourd of evil spirits produced from the animal tomb is indeed good.
Han Changming grinned and said, "We are family, why should we be polite?"
He suddenly remembered something and recounted the whole process of their feud with Chen Yanchuan.
"Uncle Wu, you have to be careful with this guy. He might come to do something bad to you."
Han Changming said solemnly that it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark, so he was worried that Chen Yanchuan would attack him from behind.
Han Debiao nodded thoughtfully and said, "This person is indeed a trouble. We should be able to leave with Fairy Qinglian when the time comes. There shouldn't be any problem."
After chatting for a while, Han Debiao stood up and walked towards the attic to discuss with Lei Hu. He had some experience and planned to practice for a few days.
"To sum up, I have three Jindan spiritual objects, which can help my sister reach the Jindan stage. Many high-level cultivators came to the treasure appraisal conference this time, so maybe I can get a few more Jindan spiritual objects."
Ye Xin said with a smile.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Yes! Wait for me..."
Before he could finish his words, a sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of Han Changming.
Han Changming was slightly stunned and confused.
"It shouldn't be Fairy Qinglian. Could she use the communication disk to contact us? We don't have many acquaintances in Penglai Market. Could it be Fellow Daoist Ye? Or Fellow Daoist Han?"
Ye Xin said curiously.
Han Changming crushed the sound transmission note, and Jiang Tianhe's voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoist Han, my name is Jiang Tianhe. I wonder if you are free now? Jiang has something to discuss with you."
"Daoyou Jiang!"
Han Changming and Ye Xin looked at each other, both of them confused. They had only met Jiang Tianhe a few times and they didn't have much of a friendship. What did Jiang Tianhe want from them
After all, Jiang Tianhe was the disciple of Master Wan Gu, so Han Changming did not dare to neglect him. He and Ye Xin walked out quickly.
They walked out of their residence and saw Jiang Tianhe talking to a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a red suit, he was tall, with regular features, and carrying three flying swords on his back, giving people a sense of calmness and reliability. The woman was wearing a red skirt, she had a slim figure, picturesque features, and skin as white as cream. She also carried three flying swords on her back. Both of them were in the late stage of Jindan.
"Friend Han, Madam Han, let me introduce these two to you. They are the Qianli Twin Immortals."
