Tan Mingyu has traveled far and wide and has a wide network of contacts, while the Han family only operates in the territory of the Righteous Alliance, and their ability to collect resources for cultivating immortals is far inferior to that of Tan Mingyu.
You know, the Han family offered a high price to purchase the shell of the third-level golden glass turtle, but they have never been able to do so. However, Tan Mingyu was able to collect the shell of the third-level golden glass turtle, which shows that Tan Mingyu's ability is quite strong.
Tan Mingyu was a little surprised, and he took it with a smile.
He opened the golden jade box, which contained two light silver balls with some golden lines on the surface.
"This is a third-level middle-grade golden thunder turtle demon pill, a thunder-attributed demon pill. I remember that Fellow Daoist Han has been collecting thunder-attributed demon pills."
Tan Mingyu moved the golden jade box in front of Han Changming.
Han Changming looked normal, and said with a smile: "These two demon pills are of good quality, I want them, Fellow Daoist Tan, please name a price!"
"Five mid-grade elixirs that improve your mana. The Dark Water Pill and Purple Sun Pill you refined are quite effective."
Tan Mingyu's tone was warm.
Han Changming smiled knowingly, took out a green porcelain bottle and handed it to Tan Mingyu.
Tan Mingyu checked the pill and after confirming that it was correct, he accepted the green porcelain bottle with a smile on his face.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Tan, have you heard any news? A powerful force is looking for something."
Han Changming asked casually. He really wanted to know what was inside the golden jade box so that he would have an idea.
Tan Mingyu pondered for a moment, took out a piece of letter paper, pushed it in front of Han Changming, and said, "Friend Han, you are talking about this box, right? To be honest, I am also looking for this thing?"
Han Changming nodded and said, "Yes, but we only gave a pattern, no other clues, and we don't even know what's inside the box. Where can we find it? Maybe someone got the jade box and took away the things inside, or maybe the jade box itself is some kind of rare treasure? Fellow Daoist Tan has a wide range of information, so he should know more!"
"I heard from them that the jade box is just a vessel, and what's precious is the things inside. Even the Nangong family of Zhongtian Continent is very interested in it. I guess the things inside the jade box may be a thousand-year-old elixir, or a magical treasure that can reach the sky."
Tan Mingyu's face was solemn. With his knowledge and imagination, this was the most precious thing he could imagine.
"A ten thousand year old magical elixir? A magical treasure that can reach the sky! Impossible!"
Han Changming's face was full of doubt and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. If Tan Mingyu guessed correctly, he would be rich.
Everything is possible until the golden jade box is opened.
"Who knows? Some people also speculate that it is a panacea that helps people reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Only by finding this box can the mystery be revealed. It is clear that several forces are looking for this box. Some people are worried that the box will be found by their opponents, so they simply spread the news and buy it at a high price."
Tan Mingyu analyzed. He suddenly took out a green communication disk from his sleeve, gestured for a while, frowned, and said, "I'm sorry, Han Daoyou, I suddenly have something to deal with. I'll take my leave now. We can talk again another day when we are free."
Han Changming agreed and stood up to see him off.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Changming returned to the Golden Gourd Pavilion and came to the wooden house in the backyard.
He flipped his palm, a golden light flashed, and a golden jade box appeared in his hand, locked with a jade lock.
His eyes turned golden as he looked towards the golden jade box. Unfortunately, he still couldn't see clearly what was in the box. It seemed that the golden jade box was made of some special material.
"A ten thousand year old magical medicine? A magical treasure that can reach the sky!"
Han Changming muttered to himself, his eyes a little fiery. If it was a thousand-year-old elixir, he would not dare to open the jade box rashly without a foolproof plan.
He had obtained this jade box decades ago, but several forces have only now begun to look for the golden jade box. This is a bit strange. He has several guesses. The first is that this jade box is a treasure treasured by a certain big force, and a traitor stole the treasure, which was only discovered some time ago. The big force began to send a large number of people to look for the treasure; the second is that a high-level cultivator from the Zhongtian Continent obtained a treasure in a forbidden area or a cave where a powerful person sat and passed away. After many twists and turns, he came to the outer sea and was recently discovered by the cultivators from the Zhongtian Continent; the third is that a treasure escorted by a certain business alliance was robbed by an evil cultivator, and the evil cultivator appeared in the outer sea, so the forces from the Zhongtian Continent searched for this treasure in the outer sea.
"If I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I wonder if there is a way to open this jade box."
Han Changming talked to himself with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He put away the golden jade box, took out a piece of iron, and used the Golden Eye True Pupil, but only saw a few blurry characters. However, he did not recognize them and could only keep them for later research.
He put away the iron sheet and closed his eyes to rest.
······
In a golden attic with carved railings and jade bricks, a girl in a silver skirt with skin as white as snow is reporting the situation to an energetic old man in a white robe.
The old man in the white robe had a fair face, a goatee, and a kind look.
The old man in white robe showed a gratified expression on his face and said, "Yuehua, you did a good job. The news has spread. The price offered by our Nangong family is no lower than that of other forces. I hope we can find the jade box."
Nangong Yuehua nodded and asked curiously, "Seventh Uncle, you don't know what's in the jade box? Many people asked me what's in the jade box."
"I will tell you what I need to tell you. You just need to know that the things in the jade box will be of great use to our family. Maybe it will help our family to move forward."
The tone of the old man in white robe was heavy.
Nangong Yuehua took a deep breath. You know, there are more than 30 Yuanying cultivators in the Nangong family. Even the Tongtian Lingbao can't make the Nangong family go one step further! Is it a high-level secret manual? Or some kind of treasure to assist in cultivation
She did not ask any further questions. Judging from the tone of the elder, the things in the golden jade box must be very important.
"Our family has reached an agreement with HSBC Business Alliance. We will establish a base in the outer sea. The cultivation resources in the outer sea are not as good as those in Zhongtian Continent, but there are some cultivation resources in the outer sea that Zhongtian Continent does not have. You should make more friends with Jindan cultivators, especially the disciples of those Yuanying old monsters. It will be beneficial for us to gain a foothold in the outer sea in the future."
The old man in white robe warned.
Nangong Yuehua nodded and agreed, "I see. There is an exchange meeting tonight. I have agreed to attend. I hope to meet some Jindan cultivators with great potential."
"Although the outer sea is small, there are still some capable people. It won't hurt to make a few more friends."
······
At the hour of Hai, the sky had completely darkened. The Haoran City was crowded with people and the lights were on, as bright as day.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue appeared in a three-story white attic. On the silver plaque were three large golden characters "Baifeng Tower", which was very eye-catching.
There were two foundation-building cultivators guarding the door. Han Changming and the other two strode towards Baifeng Tower, and the two foundation-building cultivators did not stop them.
When he came to the second floor, he saw five Jindan cultivators, including Zhou Wenbo.
After not seeing each other for decades, Zhou Wenbo has already entered the late stage of Jindan.
Over the years, the Han family and the Zhou family have been doing business together. The Han family often purchases elixirs from the Zhou family, and the relationship between the two families is pretty good.
In addition to Zhou Wenbo, Xiaoyao Sanren, Qianling Fairy, Baisha Sanren were also there, as well as a girl in a red skirt.
The girl in the red dress had delicate features and skin as white as snow, but she was thin and looked very fragile.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Han, right? I'm Li Hongxiu from the HSBC Merchant Alliance. I heard that Fellow Daoist Han is proficient in alchemy. I'm glad to finally see him in person."
The girl in the red dress said politely.
Han Changming was completely confused as he didn't know Li Hongxiu.
"Fairy Li is the descendant of Granny Jinzhu. She seldom comes to the territory of the Righteous Alliance. Fairy Li has long wanted to meet Fellow Daoist Han, and today she finally got her wish."
Zhou Wenbo started to introduce them in a warm tone.
Granny Jinzhu is a Nascent Soul cultivator and an elder of the HSBC Business Alliance. Li Hongxiu is Granny Jinzhu's only descendant and is also a third-rank alchemist.
"Fairy Li, thank you for your praise. I have only learned the basics, and I cannot say that I have mastered it."
Han Changming said modestly.
Li Hongxiu did not let it go and discussed her experience in alchemy with Han Changming. The two became more and more excited as they talked.
One after another, Jindan cultivators came up, including men, women, young and old. The lowest level of cultivation was in the middle stage of Jindan, and there were two who were in the great perfection of Jindan.
Most of them greeted Han Changming, but Han Changming did not know them. Zhou Wenbo introduced them one by one. Everyone talked and laughed, and got along very harmoniously.
In less than half an hour, more than twenty Jindan cultivators gathered on the second floor.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, everyone is here, right? Now let's get started!"
Xiaoyao Sanren urged.
Zhou Wenbo nodded and said, "There are still a few Taoist friends who haven't arrived yet, please wait for a moment."
"Sorry we're late."
A gentle male voice suddenly sounded, Shen Qinghuan strode up, and Nangong Yuehua followed beside him.
"Let me introduce to you all, this is Fairy Nangong from Zhongtian Continent."
Shen Qinghuan pointed at Nangong Yuehua and introduced her.
Nangong Yuehua bowed and said, "My younger sister Nangong Yuehua, greetings to all the Taoist friends."
Han Changming and others gave their names one after another, and they all showed interested expressions on their faces.
Zhongtian Continent has business dealings with the outer sea, but the HSBC Business Alliance has monopolized that trade route. They only know of the existence of Zhongtian Continent but have never been there. By being able to get to know the Jindan cultivators from Zhongtian Continent, they can better understand Zhongtian Continent.
Zhou Wenbo asked everyone to sit down, and he personally brewed a pot of hundred-flower tea to entertain everyone.
As per convention, the monks first began to exchange their experiences in cultivation, covering everything from refining equipment, refining pills, making talismans, and setting up formations.
"Fairy Nangong, let me ask you a question, how did you get to the outer sea?"
Xiaoyao Sanren asked curiously, the reason why HSBC Merchant Alliance was able to monopolize the trade route from the outer sea to Zhongtian Continent was, firstly, because of its strong strength, and secondly, because HSBC Merchant Alliance had a flying magic treasure.
"We were using fourth-level spirit beasts to travel, and we encountered many powerful monsters on the way. Fortunately, Uncle Seven and his men were very powerful and repelled those monsters."
Nangong Yuehua said proudly.
None of the cultivators had ever been to Zhongtian Continent, and they wanted to inquire about the situation in Zhongtian Continent, but they didn’t know where to start.
"Okay, enough small talk, let's start exchanging! I hope we can get some good stuff in exchange."
Xiaoyao Sanren urged.
Many Jindan cultivators expressed their agreement. No matter how rich the immortal cultivation resources in Zhongtian Continent were, they could not go there. The most important thing was to exchange goods well.
Zhou Wenbo was the host and he was the first to make the exchange.
Zhou Wenbo took out more than a dozen items, mostly raw materials, and also a bottle of healing pills, but the pills were not of high quality. He wanted to exchange them for third-grade high-quality demon pills or high-year spiritual medicines.
Han Changming looked down on the materials Zhou Wenbo brought out, but other Jindan cultivators thought highly of them and exchanged them for five healing pills.
After Zhou Wenbo finished the exchange, other Jindan cultivators took out treasures one after another to display for exchange. The materials they took out were varied, and many Jindan cultivators wanted to exchange for healing pills.
After a cup of tea, Li Hongxiu stood up and took out more than a dozen materials, including elixirs, magic weapons, alchemy materials, and refining materials. She said, "The green porcelain bottle contains Jade Ginseng Yuan Dan, which has a good healing effect. These things can be exchanged for spiritual medicines over 800 years old or third-grade top-grade fire-attribute demon pills."
Ye Xue's gaze fell on a light blue jade pen. The surface of the blue jade pen was covered with a layer of soft blue light. It was obviously a low-grade magic weapon.
She is a talisman maker. If she had a talisman pen of magic weapon level, her success rate in refining talismans would be higher.
There are very few high-level talisman makers, and she is very interested in the art of talismans.
"Fairy Li, I'd like to exchange two mid-grade Jinlu Pills for that talisman pen. Jinlu Pills are healing pills. How do you think?"
Han Changming conveyed a message to Li Hongxiu, saying that if one wants to do his work well, one must first sharpen his tools. With a magic-level talisman pen, Ye Xue's talisman-making skills will also improve.
He took out a green wooden box and handed it to Li Hongxiu.
Li Hongxiu checked carefully and after confirming that everything was correct, she exchanged them all. Third-tier healing pills were in short supply right now, and as long as she sold the pills, she could get at least 200,000 spirit stones.
After getting the talisman pen, Han Changming handed it to Ye Xue, who accepted it with a happy smile.
After Li Hongxiu finished the exchange, Han Changming stood up and took out twelve medium-grade medicinal pills, three each of the Seven Star Recovery Pill, Snow Soul Jade Spirit Pill, Golden Dew Pill and Ghost Water Pill.
"Exchange for 800-year-old Golden Sun Ginseng, Jade Spirit Flower, or materials of equal value."
Han Changming named many kinds of elixirs. Most of these elixirs were auxiliary medicines for refining the Infant Water. He was already in the late stage of Dan Jie and began to prepare for the Infant Jie.
"Fellow Daoist Han, how about I exchange an eight-hundred-year-old Golden Sun Ginseng and a third-level mid-grade demon pill for a Snow Soul Jade Spirit Pill?"
Xiaoyao Sanren sent a message to Han Changming, his face full of anticipation.
According to the current market price, a mid-grade Snow Soul Jade Spirit Pill could be sold for one hundred thousand spirit stones, or even more.
Han Changming nodded and suppressed it.
"Fellow Daoist Han can actually come up with so many mid-grade elixirs. Your alchemy skills are very high!"
Nangong Yuehua said with some surprise, even in Zhongtian Continent, alchemists who can refine mid-grade elixirs are highly respected.
"Fairy Nangong, you are joking. Practice makes perfect. It's nothing."
Han Changming said modestly.
