More than half a year later, at dusk.
As the sun sets, the scorching sun slowly sets, and the sea water is reflected in golden color.
A sea breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the sea surface.
A group of seagulls flew over from high in the sky, and a black dot appeared in the setting sun. The black dot moved from far to near, and it turned out to be a blue shuttle over ten feet long. More than a dozen cultivators stood on the blue shuttle, and standing in the front was Han Changming.
They used flying magic tools to travel, and the speed was not very fast. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion could also fly, but its flying speed was not as fast as that of spiritual birds of the same level. This was also normal.
"According to our current speed, we should be able to reach the Han family on Jinjiao Island in another month."
Ye Xin said with a smile, holding a piece of green animal skin with a topographic map on it.
"The outer sea is so vast. It's been more than half a year, and we still haven't reached the Han family on Jinjiao Island."
Han Benyong said in an envious tone that he had just arrived in the open sea not long ago and followed his parents on a long journey. Along the way, Han Benyong saw a lot of new and strange things, including third-level demon fish and third-level demon birds. The danger level of the open sea is far from comparable to that of the inland sea.
"Practice hard. The world of cultivation is huge. Only when you are strong enough can you go to bigger places and enjoy more beautiful scenery."
Han Changming taught patiently that there was no hope for Han Benzhi, and he hoped that Han Benyong could work harder.
Han Benyong nodded seriously. The foundation-building cultivator was too weak. If Han Changming hadn't accompanied him, he would not have been able to run so far if he went out alone. Along the way, they encountered many third-level monsters.
At this moment, Han Changming looked towards the northwest, frowned slightly, and said, "Someone is coming."
Ye Xue and others looked towards the northwest but didn't see anything.
After a while, a golden light appeared in the sky, and the croaking sound of crows could be faintly heard.
The golden light was actually a golden crow with four wings on its back. An old man in a golden robe with a slightly hunchback was sitting on the back of the golden crow.
Many of the golden crow's feathers had fallen off, and it was covered in blood, looking a little disheveled.
The old man in the golden robe was pale, with some brown bloodstains on his robe, his left hand was missing, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Golden Crow Sanren!"
A flash of surprise passed across Han Changming's eyes. The Wanfa Sect had offered a reward of one million spirit stones for the capture of Jin Ya Sanren.
"Run, can you run away? Those who go against our Wanfa Sect will definitely not have a good ending."
A cold and ruthless female voice came from the sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm sea surface rolled violently, and ten huge blue whirlpools appeared. The blue whirlpools were hundreds of feet in diameter and rotated rapidly, making a piercing roar.
Boom!
After a loud bang, ten blue water columns with a diameter of one hundred feet appeared on the sea, surrounding Jin Ya Sanren.
Ten blue whales over thirty feet long emerged from the sea one after another, causing waves. There were some golden lines on the bodies of the blue whales. On the back of each blue whale stood a Jindan cultivator, and each Jindan cultivator held a misty flag with runes flashing on it.
Han Changming observed carefully and was surprised to find that the size of each blue flag was exactly the same as the spiritual energy fluctuations. This was a set of magic weapons.
It is extremely difficult to refine a set of magic weapons, and the power of a set of magic weapons is also relatively large.
Seeing this scene, Jin Ya Sanren showed a panic on his face. He looked at Han Changming and others, his eyes turned, and a happy expression appeared on his face. He shouted quickly: "Daoyou Sun, please help me. As long as I can get out of this, I will give you that thing."
Han Changming's face darkened. Jin Ya Sanren actually wanted to shift the blame to someone else. If the monks of Wanfa Sect took it seriously, it would be troublesome.
He didn't move, as if he didn't hear it.
"What Brother Sun? We don't even know you."
Han Benyong's face was full of anger.
"You're playing this trick in front of us. Do you think we, the people of the Wanfa Sect, are idiots?"
A long blue rainbow flew from the distant sky and stopped not long after. It turned out to be a tall girl in a blue dress with fair skin.
The girl in the blue dress has picturesque facial features, long flowing hair, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes that are very charming.
"Go ahead and take him down."
The girl in the blue skirt said coldly, and ten Jindan cultivators waved the blue flags in their hands.
Ten thick blue water columns moved towards Jin Ya Sanren from all directions. A strong wind suddenly arose, the sea water rolled violently, and huge waves hundreds of feet high were raised.
Jin Ya Sanren was startled and quickly patted the four-winged golden flame crow under him.
The four-winged golden flame crow made a "quack" sound and opened its mouth to spit out a stream of red-gold flame.
Jin Ya Sanren took out a small and exquisite golden mirror and cast a spell. The golden mirror suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light and its size increased dramatically, like a golden sun, hanging high in the sky. A lifelike golden crow was engraved on the back of the mirror.
An extremely sharp crow's cry was heard, and countless golden lightning and fire gushed out from the mirror and struck the surroundings.
Boom!
A huge roar sounded, and ten blue water columns were shattered by the golden thunder and fire in the sky, and a large white mist erupted.
A blue water mountain that was over a hundred feet high smashed over with such force that the void shook wherever it passed.
"Kill someone and you'll have to pay your debt. You better give up resistance!"
A gentle female voice sounded in Jin Ya Sanren's ears.
Jin Ya Sanren looked dazed. When he regained consciousness, the blue water mountain had already hit him. Jin Ya Sanren flew backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
"Illusion, you are Jiang Ruoshui, one of the Eighteen Great Masters of All Arts."
Jin Ya Sanren exclaimed, his face full of fear.
The girl in the blue skirt did not answer. She shook her sleeves and a blue light shot out and disappeared.
The next moment, the void above Jin Ya Sanren's head fluctuated, and a blue light suddenly lit up. It turned out to be a small blue tower with blue light flowing unsteadily, exuding an overwhelming spiritual energy.
“Lingbao!”
Han Changming was extremely shocked. This was the first time he saw a spiritual treasure.
Judging from what Jin Ya Sanren said, Jiang Ruoshui is not an ordinary Jindan cultivator, and the Eighteen Heroes of Wanfa should be the elite disciples of Wanfa Sect.
"rise."
Along with Jiang Ruoshui's low shout, the small blue tower lit up with a dazzling blue light and its size increased rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant blue tower over a hundred feet high. The two big blue characters "Zhenhai" were engraved on the tower, which was very conspicuous.
Jin Ya Sanren was horrified and wanted to avoid it, but a strong airflow suddenly appeared in the nearby void, the sea water swirled violently, and a huge blue vortex appeared on the sea surface.
The body of the Four-Winged Golden Flame Crow swayed left and right, and the Golden Crow Sanren's hair fluttered non-stop.
A blue light descended, covering the Golden Crow Wanderer.
Golden Crow Wanderer and the Four-Winged Golden Flame Crow were swept into the Zhenhai Tower by the blue light and disappeared. The Zhenhai Tower flew towards Jiang Ruoshui and turned into the size of a palm.
Jiang Ruoshui flipped his hand and the Zhenhai Tower disappeared.
"Let's go back and report to Uncle Li."
Jiang Ruoshui waved his sleeves and flew back the way he came. Ten blue whales chased after him at an extremely fast speed.
From beginning to end, the disciples of Wanfa Sect ignored Han Changming and his group, which made Han Changming and others breathe a sigh of relief.
"Spiritual treasure, Wanfa Sect!"
Han Benfu looked at the backs of Jiang Ruoshui and others as they left, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Han Changming patted Han Benyong and Han Benfu on the shoulders and encouraged them: "The world of immortal cultivation is huge, and what we see is just a drop in the ocean. You all need to work hard to cultivate, so that you can see a wider world."
"I know, Dad. One day, I will be more powerful than them."
Han Benfu said seriously, with a firm gaze.
Han Benyong and others agreed in unison. Who doesn't want to see the world at a younger age
Considering that it was getting late, they rested on the deserted island for a night.
The next morning, Han Changming and others continued on their journey.
······
The head of the Han family on Jinjiao Island celebrated his birthday and the Han family invited many guests. However, due to the large number of people coming to congratulate, the Han family had to send more patrol officers.
Starting from the great court, the family's virtues are passed down, the country is beautiful in the world of books, and the talent and learning will last forever. This is the generation name currently used by the Han family of Jinjiao Island. The highest generation name among the clan members is "Chao" and the youngest is "Cai".
Han Caiying has been practicing Taoism for forty years and is already in the late stage of foundation building. Her parents are both foundation building practitioners, so her starting point is relatively high. Most of the clan members at her age have not yet established a foundation. The Han family currently has more than 10,000 practitioners, not including affiliated forces.
Han Caiying led his tribesmen on patrol. They were wearing uniform blue robes, and everyone had a confident smile on their face.
"It's really lively these days! So many forces have come to celebrate the patriarch's birthday."
A member of the Han family said with pride.
"What's so strange about this? Dabogong ranks 15th on the Hidden Dragon List. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. I heard that the Liang family of Liuli Island of the Righteous Alliance, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce of the HSBC Merchant Alliance, and the Three Absolutes of Penglai Island will all send people to congratulate him."
"That's right. When Great Uncle Gong advances to the Nascent Soul stage, our Han family will be even stronger. Maybe hundreds of years later, Great Uncle Gong will be a great cultivator famous in the outer seas."
The Great Uncle they are talking about is Han Wenlong, who established his foundation at the age of seventeen, formed his elixir at the age of fifty, and is less than two hundred years old now. He is expected to enter the Nascent Soul stage before he turns two hundred. It is rumored that Han Wenlong possesses some special spiritual body that can easily subdue monsters of the same level.
Han Wenlong raised a third-level dragon, and many cultivators called him the True Man Qingjiao.
"A senior is coming. Everyone, please be alert and prepare to welcome the guests who come to celebrate the birthday."
Han Caiying reminded, looking into the distance.
They all straightened their clothes and looked towards the distant sky.
A blue light appeared in the distant sky and flew quickly towards Han Caiying and others.
After a while, the blue light stopped, and it turned out to be a flying shuttle with blue light flowing unsteadily. More than a dozen cultivators stood on it, led by a young man in a yellow shirt with delicate features, who was Han Changming.
"The junior Han Caiying greets the senior. May I know what your name is?"
Han Caiying bowed and spoke politely.
"I am Han Changming. I have come here to celebrate the birthday of the noble family head at the request of Han Wenbin, a fellow Daoist."
Han Changming said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Senior Han. Uncle Zeng repeatedly reminded me to inform him immediately if Senior Han arrived. Please wait a moment."
Han Caiying said respectfully, took out a communication disk, typed in a spell, and made some gestures.
There are many guests coming to celebrate the birthday. The top leaders of the Han family have informed the patrolling disciples and asked them to entertain them carefully and not neglect them.
Han Changming nodded and waited quietly.
A sharp beast roar came from behind, and Han Changming looked behind him curiously.
The sea water rolled violently, and four blue horses were running on the sea. The blue horses' bodies were covered with palm-sized blue scales, and they had a blue horn about a foot long on their heads. Their four hooves were wrapped in a soft blue light.
Four blue horses pulled a square bronze chariot, on which stood a green jade table, on which were laid fine wine and delicacies. A young man in a blue shirt with red lips and white teeth and a young girl in a red skirt with delicate features stood in the chariot, both of them having reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation.
The young man in blue shirt is tall and has an imposing manner, while the girl in red skirt has a hot body and skin as white as snow.
A two-meter-long blue flag was inserted on the bronze chariot, with two large golden characters "Tianbao" embroidered on the flag, which was very eye-catching.
Four blue horses were running on the sea as if they were walking on flat ground, and they were very fast.
"It's someone from HSBC Business Alliance!"
Han Changming's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves. The Han family of Jinjiao Island was so prestigious that even the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce of the HSBC Business Alliance sent people to congratulate them.
The HSBC Merchant Alliance is a chamber of commerce organization composed of multiple chambers of commerce. It is full of masters and is the only link between the outer sea and the Zhongtian Continent. As the only force that can connect with the Zhongtian Continent, the HSBC Merchant Alliance naturally has its strengths. It is said that there are monks who have reached the state of spiritual transformation in charge. Han Changming is not clear about the specific situation.
Not long after, four blue horses pulling a square bronze chariot came in front of Han Changming.
"Junior greets Senior Lin and Senior Fan. You are finally here. The Patriarch just asked about you yesterday!"
Han Caiying bowed quickly with a respectful look.
"I encountered a little trouble on the way and was delayed for a while, but at least I wasn't late."
The blue-shirted young man had a gentle voice, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
The woman in the red skirt looked at Han Changming and the others, smiled slightly, clasped her fists and said, "My younger sister is Fan Tingting from Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. What is your name, fellow Daoist?"
Businessmen pursue profits and have intersections with all kinds of forces. As long as there is profit to be gained, they are friends.
"I am Han Changming from Ziyue Island. We are here to celebrate your birthday at the invitation of Daoist Fellow Han."
Han Changming quickly returned the greeting and spoke politely.
"Han Changming? I heard that Master Lingxiao taught Daoist Han how to make pills. We have long wanted to meet Daoist Han, but unfortunately we were entangled in worldly affairs. It is fate that we can meet here. I am Lin Yunxiao."
The tone of the young man in blue shirt was sincere, giving people a sense of intimacy.
Han Changming didn't expect that they knew him. It seems that Tianbao Chamber of Commerce has a very good intelligence capability.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you for your compliment. I only know a little bit about it, and I am grateful to Master Lingxiao for not despising me and giving me some pointers."
Han Changming said modestly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Han, you are finally here."
A hearty male voice suddenly sounded, and a beam of light streaked across the sky, flashing a few times before stopping. It was Han Wenbin.
Han Wenbin's face was full of smiles. He looked at Lin Yunxiao and Han Changming, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Friends Lin and Han, please come in. In a few days, it will be the 400th birthday of the patriarch. You should have a few more drinks."
Lin Yunxiao smiled and nodded. The four blue horses pulled them forward, not very fast. They walked side by side with Han Changming, chatting as they moved forward.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Changming and others stopped. In front of them was an endless blue sea, and no islands were seen.
Han Wenbin flipped his hand and took out a square token that was completely golden. A lifelike golden dragon was engraved on the front of the token, and the two small words "Wenbin" were written next to it.
He injected magic power, and a golden light shot out from the square token and disappeared into the sea in a flash.
The sea water rolled violently, creating huge waves over a hundred feet high.
roar!
A loud dragon roar was heard, and a huge golden dragon emerged from the seabed. The golden dragon was a hundred feet long, shining all over, and lifelike, as if it was made of gold.
The golden dragon seemed to come alive. Its huge body twisted constantly and it opened its bloody mouth. There was a thick golden light curtain in its mouth.
Han Changming naturally knew that these were all illusions created by the formation, but it was the first time that Han Benyong and other foundation-building cultivators had seen this scene. They were extremely shocked, and the scene before them opened their eyes.
"Let's go! Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Han."
Han Wenbin flew towards the golden dragon first, Lin Yunxiao drove the spirit horse to follow, and Han Changming and others followed closely behind.
After passing through the golden light curtain, Han Changming felt the environment in front of him changed. An island that looked like a golden dragon lay on the sea. The island was shrouded in clouds and mist, and was covered with exotic flowers and plants and rugged rocks. Many traces of rare birds and beasts could be seen, giving the impression of a fairyland.
In the thick clouds, you can see a large number of buildings of various styles, and you can also see many monks.
"Friends Lin and Han, welcome to the Han family on Jinjiao Island. We have prepared a place for you to rest. Please follow me."
Han Wenbin said with a smile, and he took Lin Yunxiao and others to fly towards Jinjiao Island.
As soon as you enter the Golden Dragon Island, a pure spiritual energy will hit you in the face.
The spiritual energy of Ziyue Island is naturally not as abundant as that of Jinjiao Island. After all, the Han family of Jinjiao Island has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.
Before long, they landed in a quiet manor with blue bricks and red tiles, pavilions, towers, gardens and waterside pavilions everywhere.
"Friend Lin, Fairy Fan, are you satisfied with this place?"
Han Wenbin asked politely.
"That's fine, let's go here!"
Lin Yunxiao showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Han Wenbin nodded and said, "If you have anything to do, you can tell the people outside not to go out without permission. If you trigger some powerful restrictions on the island, it will be troublesome."
Han Wenbin gave a few instructions and left with Han Changming and others.
When passing a certain place, a spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist began to move. He looked down and saw only a thick white fog. After all, this was the Han family's nest, and Han Changming was a guest, so he did not use his golden eyes to check.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion encountered an even more powerful demon insect. It was not known whether it was raised by the Han family or by the guests celebrating the birthday.
As they flew along, they met many Han family members. These Han family members all raised spirit beasts. Each of them had a spirit beast bag around their waist, with at least one and as many as more than a dozen. Some even let spirit snakes crawl on their bodies.
After a while, they landed in front of a five-story green pavilion. On the plaque were three large green characters "Qingbai Pavilion". Qingbai Pavilion was located on a steep green mountain with many buildings on the mountain.
"Friend Han, Madam Han, what do you think of this place? The scenery here is quite nice."
Han Wenbin asked enthusiastically.
"It's nice here, we are very satisfied. Thank you for troubling Brother Han."
Han Changming said politely.
Han Wenbin smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. You've come all the way here to celebrate the Patriarch's birthday. We can't thank you enough! If you need anything, just give the order and the people below will take care of it. Don't run around, or you'll trigger the ban. I'll take you there on the Patriarch's birthday."
Han Changming agreed and watched Han Wenbin leave. He then led his clansmen into Qingbai Tower.
There are more than twenty guest rooms in Qingbai Tower, and each room is equipped with a small spirit gathering array. This is a good thing for foundation-building cultivators, but for Jindan cultivators, the effect of the small spirit gathering array is a little less.
