Han Zhangxiang had thought of this a long time ago. Nine out of ten Jindan cultivators who visited Ziyue Island would ask about Han Changming.
"Changming is out for something and hasn't come back yet. If he comes back, I will go visit him with Changming."
Han Zhangxiang said politely in a warm tone.
Qi Yunxiu was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to meet Han Changming, but he didn't expect Han Changming was not there.
"Okay, then we will wait for Fellow Daoist Han to come."
Qi Yunxiu agreed with a smile. The Qi family had been away from the outer sea for decades. Now that they were back in the outer sea, they had to build good relations with other forces. He remembered something and added:
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Han, our Qi family plans to open a treasure talisman shop in Haoran City, specializing in selling talismans. We have third-level talismans for sale. If you are interested, you can go and support us when the time comes. We can give you a discount."
The Qi family learned from the last lesson and this time sent five Jindan cultivators to the open sea, including two third-level talisman makers, who mainly ran the talisman business.
"Bao Fu Lou! Okay, we will definitely go and show our support."
Han Zhangxiang agreed. It wouldn't hurt to have more friends. After all, the two families were in-laws!
Less than half an hour later, 90% of the Qi family members gathered in a bluestone square. Most of them were old and weak, and the life span of mortals was not long. The newborn Qi family members all stayed in Ziyue Island, and they had been integrated into the Han family.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han."
Qi Yunxiu thanked him and made a gesture of magic. Mist emerged from under his feet and transformed into a white cloud over a thousand feet in size. It carried many members of the Qi family away from Ziyue Island, and Qi Dazhi also followed.
After sending Qi Yunxiu and the others away, Han Zhangxiang said to Han Benfu, "Benfu, we got a lot of third-level demon pills this time. We'll give them to you to make pills. I hope you can improve your alchemy skills."
The Han family has too few third-level alchemists. Han Changming alone is not enough, and Han Benfu is also needed.
"Got it, Patriarch. Then I can concentrate on refining the elixir."
Han Benfu agreed obediently. She also hoped to improve her alchemy skills and become an alchemist as respected as Han Changming.
Ever since Han Changming returned to the Inner Sea, whenever a Jindan cultivator came to visit him, nine out of ten times they were looking for Han Changming, or to inquire about Han Changming's whereabouts.
While Han Benfu was proud of herself, she also secretly made up her mind to work hard on refining pills, surpass Han Changming, and become a more outstanding alchemist.
"Just concentrate on refining the elixir! The clan leader, Uncle Daojing and I will handle the clan affairs."
Han Debiao smiled heartily and comforted him.
Han Benfu nodded, turned into a beam of light and flew away into the air.
Han Debiao looked at Han Benfu's departing back and said with a smile, "Benfu is a good girl. She is ambitious and works hard in her cultivation. It's a pity that the other members of the "Ben" generation are too ordinary. Only Benmin is better."
"It's impossible to have outstanding people from generation to generation. Only a few good ones can support half the sky. Changming is the best example. Debiao, you go to Qinghu Island! Daojing and I will stay in Ziyue Island."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
"Yes, Patriarch."
······
In Haoran City, there is a secluded blue-tiled courtyard.
Lu Yun, Han Changshuo and Wu Xueli were chatting in a stone pavilion. Tinghai Pavilion suffered heavy losses this time. Shen Tianming died in the battle and dozens of foundation-building monks were killed or injured.
With such a huge loss, Lu Yun didn't want to stay in the open sea for the time being. If another major disaster happened, Tinghai Pavilion might be completely wiped out.
"I plan to take my disciples back to the Inner Sea to recuperate for a while. Xueli, Junior Brother Han, what do you think?"
Lu Yun asked, her tone a little weak.
"I agree with Master. Let's go back to the inner sea first! The outer sea is too dangerous."
Wu Xueli agreed. As Lu Yun's disciple, she naturally shared the same opinion with Lu Yun.
The Han family is developing well in the outer sea, and Han Changshuo might stay. If Han Changshuo stays in the outer sea, it will also be a good thing for Tinghai Pavilion.
If Tinghai Pavilion returns to the outer sea for development in the future, Han Changshuo can help, but by that time, the Han family's strength may have surpassed Tinghai Pavilion.
"I agree with Senior Sister Lu's opinion. Let's return to the Inland Sea!"
Han Changshuo agreed deeply. He had already discussed this issue with Han Zhangxiang a long time ago.
Tinghai Pavilion has encountered two beast tides within a hundred years. Its luck is very bad. Even if it did not evacuate to the open sea, it would have reduced its manpower.
Han Changshuo has just formed his elixir, and his cultivation is too low to provide greater help to the family. What he needs to do now is to use the resources of Tinghai Pavilion to improve his cultivation and alchemy skills.
He was very clear that the sect had begun to be wary of him, worried that he would take over the sect's territory. Who could have thought that the Han family would produce so many Jindan cultivators within a hundred years? Anyone who was not a fool could guess that the Han family had a great opportunity.
With his family around, he didn't worry that the sect would harm him. If that happened, Ting Haige would be turning against the Han family.
Lu Yun nodded. She suddenly took out a light green magic disk from her arms, entered a spell, and frowned.
"What happened, Master?"
Wu Xueli asked curiously, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"The spies reported that the people from Taixu Sect and the Lu family left Haoran City. Most of them were injured. Chen Li and Lu Haibin are missing."
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Yun's eyes. Tinghai Pavilion had suffered heavy losses. If they could occupy the territories of Taixu Sect and the Lu family, they could reduce the losses.
"Will something happen to them? The scale of the beast tide this time is very large. Chen Li and Lu Haibin are high-ranking officials of Taixu Sect and Lu Family. If something unexpected happens to them, we can take the opportunity to seize some resources, severely injure or even destroy them."
Wu Xueli suggested, with a cold light in her eyes.
Tinghai Pavilion, Taixu Sect and the Lu family have been old enemies for many years, and their hands are stained with each other's blood. Wu Xueli would be very happy if she could destroy or severely damage these two hostile forces.
The strong prey on the weak; this has always been the case in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Could it be that they left a long time ago? And our people just didn't see it?"
Han Changshuo asked somewhat confusedly.
Even if I can't see Chen Li and Lu Haibin, I can't say that something happened to them. Maybe Lu Haibin and Chen Li left early!
"Our people have been keeping an eye on the Transmission Hall. Maybe they are in disguise. Let's not leave the outer sea yet. Send someone to investigate first. If the Lu family and the Taixu Sect all withdraw to the inner sea, Chen Li and Lu Haibin are likely to have been in trouble. That will be our chance."
Lu Yun's tone was heavy.
If Taixu Sect and the Lu family suffered serious losses, with several Jindan cultivators killed or injured, Tinghai Pavilion would definitely not be polite.
Han Changshuo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Our family also has spies in Haoran City. I will contact them and ask them to help find out the situation of Taixu Sect and the Lu family. I hope Senior Sister Lu is not wrong."
After decades of development, the Han family has considerable influence in Haoran City, so there is no problem in providing some intelligence.
Han Changshuo took out the communication disk and contacted Liu Weiwei, asking about the situation of the Lu family and Taixu Sect.
"Second uncle, please wait a moment. I will contact our secret line and give you news later."
Liu Weiwei's tone was polite.
"Hao, let me know as soon as you find out. This matter is not urgent. We must find out the truth. This matter will also be a good thing for our family."
Han Changshuo warned, his tone heavy.
"Got it. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Liu Weiwei agreed.
In Jinhu Pavilion, Liu Weiwei, Han Benzhi and Han Duanyu gathered on the third floor.
"Taixu Sect, Lu Family of Black Crow Island, I heard someone mention it some time ago."
Han Duanyu said softly.
