Han Changming was a little confused. The alligator turtle seemed to have discovered something. He put away his magic weapon, pinched his magic formula, and a burst of yellow light appeared on his body. He and the alligator turtle disappeared into the ground.
After diving more than ten feet, a pale yellow light curtain appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Han Changming summoned the flaming sword and chopped it hard on the yellow light curtain.
Not long after, the yellow light curtain shattered.
The alligator turtle beast was wrapped in a ball of yellow light and moved towards the location of the yellow light curtain without noticing anything unusual. Han Changming hurriedly followed.
He just felt his feet loosen, and his body fell down quickly and hit the ground.
This is a cave that is over a hundred feet in size. The stone walls of the cave are uneven and show obvious signs of artificial excavation.
Not far away on the ground, there was a human skeleton with a red storage bag around his waist.
Most of the bones of the human skeleton were black, and it seemed that the person died of poisoning.
A strange hissing sound came from Han Changming's waist. He slapped the spirit beast bag, and the Amethyst Flying Scorpion flew out. It went straight to the human-shaped skeleton and swallowed all the black bones.
Han Changming took off the skeleton's red storage bag and shook the bag upwards.
A red glow swept across the sky, and a large pile of things appeared on the ground.
More than 10,000 spirit stones, eight second-level magic tools, including a second-level alchemy furnace, as well as many bottles and jars, a dozen jade slips, and three sets of formations.
The porcelain bottle is full of pills, but they have been stored for too long and cannot be taken.
Han Changming picked up a jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.
He checked the contents of all the jade slips and his expression became extremely excited.
According to the jade slip, this person's name is Chen Ziyang, and he is a second-level intermediate-grade alchemist.
Chen Ziyang was born in the Tiger Shark Sea. He was born into a family of immortal cultivators, but the family was not strong. The ancestors of the Chen family were good at making talismans, but Chen Ziyang was very talented in alchemy and was an alchemist trained by the family. When he was twenty years old, hostile forces came to the door and wanted to destroy the Chen family. The elders of the Chen family fought desperately to break out of the siege, allowing Chen Ziyang to escape.
Chen Ziyang hid in the Qingli Sea under an assumed name, and lived a good life relying on his alchemy skills. By chance, he went on an adventure with others, obtained the inheritance of an ancient cultivator and the foundation-building pill, and successfully built his foundation.
He obtained a set of exercises called "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong" that can be practiced from the Qi Refining Stage to the Dan Forming Stage. This is an exercise with earth and fire attributes, which comes with many secret techniques and is extremely powerful.
Chen Ziyang took foundation-building pills to build his foundation, and then changed to practice "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong". After practicing for decades, he advanced to the middle stage of foundation-building and became a second-rank intermediate-grade alchemist. He became famous. A Jindan family wanted to recruit Chen Ziyang, but Chen Ziyang refused and left secretly. However, he was robbed and killed. Chen Ziyang escaped with serious injuries and was poisoned.
Before he died, he hoped that someone would help him get revenge.
Han Changming found the method of practicing "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong" in a jade slip. "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong" can be practiced to the highest stage of Hua Shen Stage. The jade slip only contains the upper half of the method, which can be practiced to the Jie Dan Stage.
"On this land, I am the only one who reigns supreme."
This sentence is on the first page of the technique and is very domineering.
The Han family has a technique that can be practiced to the Jindan stage, but it is not of earth attribute. The "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong" is suitable for Han Changming to practice, but this technique requires a large amount of elixirs to assist in the practice.
In addition to the exercises, there is also Chen Ziyang's experience in alchemy. There is a jade slip that records dozens of alchemy recipes, including first- and second-level recipes. That's not all, there is also the Chen family's ancestor's experience in talisman making, which comes with methods of refining many first- and second-level talismans.
Chen Ziyang's relics seemed to be tailor-made for Han Changming, and he could use them all.
Han Changming was very excited. There was a technique with earth and fire attributes that could be cultivated to the Jindan stage, as well as the alchemy experience of a second-level alchemist and the Chen family's hundreds of years of experience in talisman making.
It took a long time for Han Changming to calm down his excitement.
What he had to do now was to return to the market town safely, then improve his skills and learn alchemy to assist in his practice.
Han Changming walked to Chen Ziyang's skeleton and knelt down.
"Han Changming swears here that if I can, I will avenge my predecessor in the future."
He kowtowed three times to Chen Ziyang. Chen Ziyang left so many things for Han Changming. If there is a chance in the future, Han Changming can help Chen Ziyang to avenge his hatred.
“Huh!”
Han Changming let out a light exclamation, and a muffled sound came from where he kowtowed.
He dug up the soil, revealing a dozen green bricks. He lifted up the bricks, revealing a large earth pit. Inside was a green jade box with a silver talisman stuck on it.
There were more than a dozen jade slips and a dozen green shells in the jade box. The green shells were shining brightly and were obviously a magical tool.
"Echo Shell!"
The echo shell is a magical instrument that plays back sounds and is often used to record the cultivation experience of ancestors.
Han Changming picked up the top echo shell and injected mana into it. A weak male voice sounded, "You were able to find what was inside the jade box, which means you still have some conscience. The recipes and exercises recorded in the storage bag are all wrong. The ones in the jade box are the real ones. If you have a chance, avenge me again. Don't force yourself."
After hearing this, Han Changming broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he kowtowed to Chen Ziyang. If he had not discovered the things in the jade box, something would definitely go wrong if he practiced according to the fake method.
It's not so easy to take the relics of our ancestors! I need to be more careful in the future.
He threw Chen Ziyang's bones into the pit, covered them with soil, and kowtowed three times.
There are eight second-level magic weapons, including a second-level alchemy furnace, two second-level inferior-grade defensive magic weapons, and one second-level inferior-grade flying magic weapon. The one that Han Changming is most excited about is a palm-sized red gourd with a flame pattern carved on it.
The second-grade low-grade magic weapon, the Qiantu Gourd, contains a large piece of red gravel, which is Qiantu True Yang Sand. It is unpredictable and combines both hardness and softness.
When practicing "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong" to the final stage, a large island can be turned into mud and sand. The combination of sand and gravel-type magic tools and exercises can improve the strength of the practitioner.
Han Changming has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and can wield a second-level low-grade magical weapon.
With the magic weapon left by Chen Ziyang, he should be able to return to the market safely.
Seven days later, Han Changming returned to the ground with a faint smile on his face.
He released the Qingfeng Boat, jumped on it, and flew high into the sky.
More than two months later, Han Changming returned to Fangshi.
As soon as he arrived at Bailian Pavilion, he saw Han Deling walking towards him.
"Changming, you're finally back. We were so worried. Where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?" Han Deling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Han Changming.
"I encountered evil cultivators on the way and was delayed for a while. I'm finally back. Where are Seventh Aunt, Fifth Uncle and the others? Are they okay?"
Han Deling sighed and said, "Come in and tell me! The losses in this monster hunt were not small."
