Golden Gourd Pavilion, third floor.
Han Benzhi and Liu Weiwei were talking to a handsome middle-aged man. In front of the middle-aged man was a meter-tall monkey puppet beast, which was shining with golden light all over.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, this second-level middle-grade puppet beast is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is hard to be damaged by magic weapons. With its help, it will be much easier to hunt monsters or fight magic. The 2,500 spirit stones are definitely worth it."
Liu Weiwei said with a smile that because the raw materials are more expensive, the price of the second-level puppet beast will also be more expensive in the open sea.
"Two thousand five hundred? Fellow Daoist Han, didn't you tell me two thousand three?"
The middle-aged man frowned.
Liu Weiwei showed an apologetic expression on her face and said politely, "Look at my memory, Fellow Daoist Sun, I remembered it wrongly. It was 2,300 spirit stones. You are an old customer of our Golden Gourd Pavilion. We will give you a first-class high-quality puppet beast! Only old customers can enjoy this discount. I apologize."
"Thank you very much."
The middle-aged man smiled as he happily paid the spirit stones and left with the two puppet beasts.
"Madam, when did the price of the second-level puppet beast increase? How come I didn't know about it?"
Han Benzhi said with some confusion.
"The price of raw materials increased some time ago, and the family raised the price of the second-level puppet beast. My husband, you just came out of retreat and you don't know about it. Let's deduct these two hundred spirit stones from our salary!"
Liu Weiwei explained with a smile that Han Changying, Han Changwu and Han Benzhi took turns to be the shopkeeper, and Liu Weiwei was responsible for assisting.
At Liu Weiwei's suggestion, when he was not on duty, Han Benzhi would practice in seclusion, and he would take over as the shopkeeper when he came out. It happened that Han Changwu, who was on duty, went out for something and did not mention the price increase to Han Benzhi. Han Benzhi quoted the price according to the previous price, which caused a misunderstanding.
In front of outsiders, Liu Weiwei will still protect Han Benzhi's face. Outside, she will listen to Han Benzhi and give Han Benzhi enough face. Behind closed doors, Han Benzhi will listen to Liu Weiwei.
Han Benzhi smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "Luckily, Madam, you are here, otherwise I would have lost more than 200 spirit stones."
"It's not your fault, it's also my fault. I forgot to tell you."
Liu Weiwei shook her head and said that the family had three stores and Liu Weiwei ran back and forth between the three stores. She was good at observing people's expressions and had a good eloquence. She had attracted a group of repeat customers for the family. Therefore, Liu Weiwei was quite busy.
With her status, there is actually no need to do this. The family has just expanded to the outer sea and is short of manpower. Liu Weiwei should take the lead instead of hiding in her residence to practice. As the family's manpower increases, Liu Weiwei will have more and more free time, and she has also gained the respect of her family members.
Han Benzhi smiled slightly and said nothing more. Others said that he was afraid of his wife, but only he knew how virtuous Liu Weiwei was. Her personality was indeed a bit strong, but she still gave Han Benzhi enough face in front of outsiders.
A light sound of footsteps was heard and Han Duanyu walked up.
"Dad, Mom, I received good news."
Han Duanyu's face was full of smiles as he recounted what had happened.
"Liuli Island Liang family, I know this family. The Liang family's business scope is very wide, and there are as many as three raw material stores. If we can make friends with Liang Qingfeng, it will be of great help to our family's business."
Liu Weiwei said thoughtfully that if Liang Qingfeng had descendants with good qualifications, his status would also rise.
Han Benzhi smiled and said, "A pill that can change the aptitude of future generations? If there really is such a pill, we can't get it. But we have to help. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Liang Qingfeng owes us a favor."
"It just so happens that I have something to go back for. Duan Yu, come back to Ziyue Island with me!"
Liu Weiwei ordered.
Han Duanyu agreed immediately. He hadn't seen Han Changming for a long time.
Liu Weiwei gave a few instructions and took Han Duanyu away from the Golden Gourd Pavilion.
After leaving the market, Liu Weiwei slapped the spirit beast bag, and a clear and loud bird cry sounded, and a blue light shot out and landed in front of her. It was a peacock about ten feet tall. The peacock's feathers were blue-green, and there was a light blue fleshy crest on its head. From a distance, it looked like a blue cloud.
This is a second-grade, top-grade spiritual bird, the blue skylark. Its flying speed is much faster than a second-grade, top-grade flying magic weapon. Ye Xin bought it for Liu Weiwei to use as a means of transportation.
Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu flew to the back of the blue lark one after another. The blue lark chirped happily, spread its wings, and flew high into the sky.
Liu Weiwei carried a third-level talisman and several escape talismans, as well as a puppet beast, so her safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
A salty sea breeze blew, ruffling Liu Weiwei's hair.
She told Han Duanyu what to say and what to pay attention to when he met Han Changming.
Han Duanyu's ears were callused from listening, but he dared not disobey.
Seven days later, at dusk, the sun set.
The afterglow of the sunset reflected the sea water into golden color, and a blue skylark appeared over a deserted island. There was no other island within a hundred miles.
The blue skylark circled in the sky and then fell towards the deserted island.
At this moment, the sea water near the deserted island rolled violently, as if something was trying to come out.
Liu Weiwei thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly ordered the blue skylark to move away.
Boom!
Before the blue skylark could dodge, the sea surface exploded, and an extremely thick blue water column shot up into the sky and hit the blue skylark.
A shrill bird cry was heard, and the blue skylark's left wing was hit by a blue water column, and it fell from a high altitude.
Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu quickly summoned their flying magic weapons and flew towards the distance, but before they flew far, dense blue water arrows shot towards them from the bottom of the sea.
The blue skylark's left wing was injured, and its flying speed was much slower than before. It was pierced through the body by dense blue water arrows.
Liu Weiwei raised a shield that was shining with blue light and blocked it in front of her. Dense blue water arrows hit it, and the blue shield was instantly shattered into pieces, but she also took the opportunity to avoid it.
With a loud rumbling sound, a blue shark emerged from the sea. There were some light white patterns on its back, its fangs were exposed, and its dark green eyes were staring at Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu in the sky.
"Duan Yu, hurry up and leave. Mother will stay behind."
Liu Weiwei handed the only third-level escape talisman to Han Duanyu and gave instructions loudly.
"Mom, you go first, I'll cover you."
This was the first time Han Duanyu disobeyed Liu Weiwei's words, his eyes were firm.
roar!
The blue shark let out an angry roar, as if mocking Liu Weiwei and her son for overestimating their own abilities and trying to escape from it.
"Evil beast, this is not the place for you to act recklessly."
An extremely cold female voice suddenly came from the sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, a colorful treasure ship with a constantly flashing spiritual light appeared in the distant sky. From a distance, the treasure ship seemed to be carved out of beautiful jade and was crystal clear.
"The colorful glazed treasure ship is a treasure ship unique to the Liang family of Liuli Island."
Liu Weiwei said in surprise that the colorful glazed treasure ship was a flying magic weapon and was unique to the Liang family.
A beam of white light flew out from the colorful glazed treasure ship. Not long after, the white light stopped, revealing a young girl in a white skirt.
The girl in the white dress had a delicate and fair oval face, long black hair cascading down her shoulders, willow-shaped eyebrows, skin as white as snow, and carried four flying swords on her back. She had an indifferent and cold look, giving people the impression that she was difficult to get along with.
"Fairy Cold Moon!"
A flash of surprise passed through Liu Weiwei's eyes, and she recognized the origin of the girl in the white dress.
Liang Youshan, in the early stage of Jindan, is a female swordsman. She is called Lengyue Fairy by many cultivators.
Fairy Leng Yue pinched her sword gesture, and a loud sword sound was heard. Four flying swords flashing with cold light flew out of the scabbards, circling in the sky, and turned into four white tornadoes over thirty feet high, sweeping towards the blue shark.
The white tornado collided with the sea water, and the sea surface immediately froze.
The blue shark seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately dived back to the bottom of the sea at an extremely fast speed.
It had just dived more than ten feet when a white sword light fell from the sky and hit it. Its body began to freeze, and the ice spread rapidly, slowing down its speed.
Boom!
Four white tornadoes hit the blue shark one after another, and the blue shark's body suddenly exploded, turning into a blood rain all over the sky, dyeing a small area of blood red, and the demon pill could not be preserved.
Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they quickly bowed to Liang Youshan.
"I am Liu Weiwei from Ziyue Island. Thank you, Senior Liang, for your help. I will report the truth to you after I return to my clan."
Liu Weiwei expressed her gratitude in a sincere tone.
Liang Youshan put away the flying sword and asked, "Purple Moon Island? Who is Han Changming, Fellow Daoist?"
"It's my father-in-law."
Liu Weiwei answered honestly.
At this time, the colorful glazed treasure ship also flew over. A team of Liang family cultivators stood on the deck. A short and fat young man in a blue shirt with a round face and small eyes stood in the front. The young man in blue shirt had the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage.
Liang Youhai is the eleventh in the “You” generation.
"So you are Daoyou Han's daughter-in-law. Are you going back to Purple Moon Island?"
Liang Youhai asked with a smile, his tone warm.
Master Ling Xiao had taught Han Changming how to make pills, and Han Changming had frequent contacts with Fairy Qinglian, so the Liang family had already known about this.
The Liang family's Nascent Soul ancestor has a good relationship with Ling Xiao Zhenren. No matter what, the fact that Ling Xiao Zhenren is willing to teach Han Changming how to make pills speaks volumes. After all, Ling Xiao Zhenren and Fairy Qinglian have never denied that small forces need backers, and the Liang family went through the same thing back then. However, the Liang family has now become a backer for other small forces.
Liu Weiwei nodded honestly and asked in confusion, "Senior, do you know my father-in-law?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him. Meeting is fate. We are just about to pass by Ziyue Island. If you don't mind, we'd like to give you a ride. I also want to meet Fellow Daoist Han."
Liang Youhai said enthusiastically.
What he had his eyes on was not the Han family, but Han Changming, the third-rank alchemist.
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Liang."
Liu Weiwei agreed very readily. She was looking for an opportunity to make friends with the Liang family cultivators! Unexpectedly, the Liang family's Jindan cultivators wanted to make friends with Han Changming.
They followed Liang Youshan and flew to the colorful glazed treasure ship. Liang Youhai pinched his fingers and countless mysterious runes appeared on the hull of the colorful glazed treasure ship. The speed of escape increased greatly, and it disappeared into the sky in a few flashes.
······
Ziyue Island, a secret room.
A black gas filled the room, rolling and surging violently, then dissipated and disappeared, revealing the figure of Han Debiao.
Han Debiao's aura is much stronger than before. He is still in the early stage of Jindan. He has been in Jindan for more than ten years, but the actual time of cultivation is less than ten years. It is normal for him to stay in the early stage of Jindan.
After taking the Blood Essence Fruit, his body became stronger and his strength increased significantly.
There was a crackling sound of bones in Han Debiao's body, his veins were exposed, and his right fist slammed on the ground.
Boom!
The entire secret room shook violently, and the stone slabs on the ground shattered.
Han Debiao stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and walked out.
Han Changming and Ye Xin killed a third-grade top-grade demon ape on Feixian Island and gave the demon pill to Han Debiao.
The powerful golden-backed ape took the demon pill of the third-level demon ape and the medium-grade beast-cultivating pill and fell into a deep sleep. He has not woken up yet.
Han Debiao took out the communication disk and contacted Han Daojing.
"De Biao, you've come out of retreat? That's great. Ye Xue and Ben Fu have all advanced to the Jindan stage. By the way, Chang Ming is also here with me. Come and sit with me when you're free! I have something for you to do."
Han Daojing's voice was full of joy.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Han Debiao agreed and left his residence.
After a while, Han Debiao came to Han Daojing's residence, and Han Changming was also there.
"Fifth uncle, your magic power has improved a lot. It seems that you are not far from the middle stage of Jindan."
Han Changming felt the powerful aura emanating from Han Debiao and said with a smile.
"I haven't been in the Dan-forming stage for long, so I'm not in a hurry to reach the middle stage of the Dan-forming stage. Changming, help me keep an eye out for elixirs that can strengthen my body."
Han Debiao reminded that compared with magic power, he cared more about physical strength. Taking the dragon as an example, a lower-grade third-order dragon was not inferior to a cultivator in the late Jindan stage in terms of strength.
Han Changming nodded and agreed. Han Debiao was a physical cultivator. If he were allowed to get close, few cultivators of the same level would be able to stop him.
"De Biao, Tinghai Pavilion is holding a Dan-forming ceremony for Shen Tianming. I plan to send you to lead the team to participate. Chang Ming is going to attend the birthday celebration of the head of the Han family on Jinjiao Island."
Han Daojing said truthfully that the clan leader was in seclusion and Han Changming could not leave, so it would be better to let Han Debiao represent the Han family to listen to Haige's congratulations.
"No problem. I'll take some people there when the time comes. I wonder if there are any Taoist friends who would be interested in going with me."
Han Debiao was eager to try. He was quite combative. If they fought alone, Han Changming might not be his opponent. If Han Changming released the spirit insects, Han Debiao might not be Han Changming's opponent.
Han Changming and Han Daojing smiled at each other. They knew that Han Debiao was combative, so they sent him to participate in the Jindan Ceremony held by Tinghai Pavilion, taking this opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Han family.
"I heard that Haige has been operating in the outer sea for many years, and there should be many Jindan cultivators participating. You just need to be careful not to cause any deaths, but you must show the prestige of our Han family."
Han Daojing warned.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something, took out a communication disk, typed in a spell, and Han Changjun's voice suddenly rang out: "Uncle Daojing, the Liang family from Liuli Island is visiting. They rescued Weiwei and Duanyu and sent them back."
Han Changming and the other two were stunned. Of course they had heard of the Liang family of Liuli Island.
"Do you know the Liang family monk?"
Han Daojing looked at Han Changming and Han Debiao with a confused look on his face.
With the Liang family's status and strength, rescuing Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu was already a great achievement, but personally sending them back to Ziyue Island was something different.
Han Changming and Han Debiao shook their heads. They didn't know the Liang family cultivator.
"Guests are welcome. Let's go and receive them! Don't treat them badly."
Han Daojing took Han Changming and Han Debiao away from their residence and went out to greet the Liang family monks.
