After walking for more than a hundred feet, a huge pit of ten acres appeared in front of them. There was a bird's nest on the stone wall on the left, and there were several black spirit beast eggs in the nest. On the right side of the huge pit, there was a patch of golden grass. The number of leaves was different, and there were more than a hundred plants. This was the golden rui grass.
Golden sedge grows one leaf every hundred years, so it is easy to identify the year.
The oldest golden reed grass is five hundred years old, and the youngest is less than a hundred years old.
Han Changming leaped to the side of the golden herb, carefully dug out all the golden herb and put it into a wooden box.
Ye Xin took the spirit beast egg and they left the cave.
If Han Benyong's wedding was not imminent, Han Changming really wanted to stay here and wait for the other iron-feathered eagle.
There are spirit beast eggs, and naturally there are two iron-feathered eagles.
"Let's go! Yong'er's wedding is coming up, we can't be away from him."
Han Changming and Ye Xin turned into two beams of light and flew away. Just as they flew high into the sky, a very shrill baby cry was suddenly heard, spreading over a hundred miles around.
Their faces changed and they became wary.
"Husband, this sounds like the sound of a crying baby beast. Could it be a fourth-level crying baby beast?"
Ye Xin said with a frown.
Han Changming's eyes flashed with golden light as he looked towards the bottom of the sea.
He saw a gigantic monster moving quickly toward the sea.
The monster has a relatively small head, a bloated body, an extremely long tail, and scars all over its body, obviously having suffered severe injuries.
"Oh no, it's a fourth-level infant crying beast. It seems to be being chased by someone."
Han Changming's face darkened, and he and Ye Xin quickly landed on the ground.
He quickly released the Xuyuan Worm, letting it create a small space. He and Ye Xin crawled in, followed closely by the Xuyuan Worm.
If you encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator hunting a fourth-level monster and are caught in the aftermath of the fight, your life will be in danger. You might even be used as cannon fodder by the Nascent Soul cultivator to attract the attention of the fourth-level monster. This kind of thing has happened before.
Therefore, when cultivators encounter cultivators who are at a higher realm than themselves hunting monsters, they should either stay away from them or hide.
Not long after, the calm sea surface rolled violently, creating huge waves.
After a loud rumbling sound, waves splashed, and the crying baby beast emerged from the sea, making a series of shrill baby crying sounds.
The crying baby beast's body was bleeding profusely, and there were two blood holes as big as millstones on its back, through which white bones could be vaguely seen.
A low roar of an animal was heard, and a huge whale as big as a hill emerged from the seabed. The whale was completely red, with a red sharp horn about ten feet long on its head, and its body was covered with red scales, as if it was wearing a suit of armor.
This is a fourth-order Fire Scale Whale, skilled in fire-attributed magical powers.
The Fire Scale Whale opened its bloody mouth and an extremely thick red flame swept out, heading straight for the Baby Crying Beast. Wherever the red flame passed, a large amount of white mist rose from the sea surface.
The crying baby beast made a sound like a baby crying and emitted a blue sound wave as it went forward.
The blue sound waves collided with the red flame, and the red flame seemed to have met its nemesis, flashing and extinguishing.
The sea surface rolled violently, creating huge waves that turned into blue water arrows and hit the Fire Scale Whale.
Dense blue water arrows hit the Fire Scale Whale, making a series of muffled "ding ding" sounds and sparks flying, but the Fire Scale Whale was unharmed.
The Fire Scale Whale let out a sharp roar, and the sharp horns on its head lit up with a dazzling red light. A red light shot out and suddenly exploded when it reached high into the sky, transforming into a red fire cloud over a thousand feet in size, emitting an astonishingly high temperature.
The red fire cloud rolled violently, and red fireballs as big as its head flew out and hit the crying baby beast like a meteor shower.
A loud rumbling sound was heard. The baby-crying beast was too big to avoid it. It twisted its huge body continuously, creating huge waves and smashing the red fireballs. However, there were too many red fireballs. Some of them hit it and turned into billowing flames, submerging half of its body.
Red fireballs hit the crying baby beast, and the fire grew rapidly. The red fireballs hit the sea surface, and the sea surface suddenly exploded, with bursts of white smoke rising.
A shrill baby cry was heard, and the sea of fire suddenly dissipated. A blue sound wave swept out and headed straight for the Fire Scale Whale.
The Fire Scale Whale was not afraid at all. It opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of red flame, which turned into a ball of red fire cloud and rushed forward.
With a loud rumbling sound, the red fire cloud and the blue sound wave collided and were destroyed together.
The crying baby beast turned into a blue light and flew away into the sky. There seemed to be something terrible at the bottom of the sea, so it did not dare to escape.
At this moment, dozens of thick blue water columns shot up into the sky, forming an extremely huge blue water curtain that covered an area of ten miles in radius.
A deafening dragon roar sounded, and nine huge dragons flew out from the bottom of the sea and pounced on the baby-crying beast.
The crying baby beast was no match for the nine dragons. It wanted to use the escape technique to escape, but a white dragon spewed out a large amount of white cold air, which hit the sea surface. The sea water froze at an astonishing speed, and half of the crying baby beast's body was frozen.
Nine dragons rushed forward and attacked the crying baby beast.
After a roar of extreme pain, the infant-crying beast was torn to pieces by nine dragons, and its blood dyed the ice red.
Nine dragons circled in the sky for a while, and suddenly turned into a square token. The front side was engraved with three small words "Nine Dragons Token", and the back side was engraved with nine dragon patterns of different shapes.
Han Changming, who was hiding in the void, saw the square token and his pupils shrank.
"Nine Dragon Order!"
Isn't this one of the Han family's five treasures? According to Han Zhangxiang, the Nine Dragons Order was refined using a secret method and can only be controlled by the Han family cultivators.
A white-haired old man in a blue robe flew out from the bottom of the sea. With a wave of his hand, the Nine Dragons Order flew towards him.
Han Changming frowned and poured his vast magical power into his eyes, pushing his golden eyes to the extreme.
"Han Chaoyang!"
Han Changming was shocked. Han Chaoyang actually possessed the Nine Dragon Token. Could it be that the Han family of Jinjiao Island and the Han family of Huludao both originated from the Han family of Jiulong Island? This news was too shocking.
Han Chaoyang did not use his true appearance. He used a magic weapon to block off an area and changed his appearance. He was probably afraid of encountering the monks from the Wanfa Sect.
If Han Changming had not cultivated the Golden Eye True Pupil to a small degree of success, he would not have been able to see through Han Chaoyang's true appearance.
Han Chaoyang took away the demon pill and corpse of the infant crying beast. His spiritual sense was greatly opened and he scanned the area within a hundred miles again and again. Naturally, it was impossible for him to find Han Changming and Ye Xin who were hiding in the void.
After confirming that there were no other cultivators, Han Chaoyang jumped onto the back of the Fire Scale Whale. The Fire Scale Whale dived back to the bottom of the sea, and the blue water curtain suddenly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
The ice on the sea surface slowly melted, the sea became calm, and everything returned to normal here.
More than half a minute later, Han Changming and Ye Xin fell from the void.
They were all shocked. It would be great if the Han family of Jinjiao Island and the Han family of Huludao were of the same clan and origin.
"Let's go! Let's go back! We must tell the clan leader this news, and don't let too many people know."
Han Changming's voice was heavy, and he and Ye Xin turned into two beams of light and flew away into the air.
······
Haoran City, Lingxiao Tower, fifth floor.
Han Chaoyang was talking to Ling Xiao Zhenren, who was holding a blue wooden box with a blue ball inside.
"Yes, it is indeed the demon pill of a fourth-level crying infant beast. The demon power has not been lost much. It seems that Fellow Daoist Han killed this demon in a very short time. God is working through people! Fellow Daoist Li and I teamed up to deal with a fourth-level crying infant beast, but it escaped."
Master Ling Xiao sighed, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
If it takes too long to hunt monsters, the monster pill's monster power will be lost too much, and the effect of refining the pill will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when cultivators hunt monsters, they try to kill them as quickly as possible, so that the value of the monster pill will be higher.
Han Chaoyang smiled calmly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, you are too kind. I have given you everything you want, including the Infant Transformation Water!"
He went there for the Infant Transformation Water. The competition at the auction was too fierce. However, Master Ling Xiao was a fourth-rank alchemist, so he could naturally produce the Infant Transformation Water.
In order to exchange for a portion of Nascent Soul Water, Han Chaoyang spent a huge amount of money. Han Wenlong has a spiritual body, and as long as he can get a spiritual object to form a Nascent Soul, his chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage are very high.
To this end, Han Chaoyang took the risk of using the Nine Dragons Order to kill the fourth-level infant-crying beast as quickly as possible. He was worried about exposing his identity, so he deliberately changed his appearance and breath. Even the Fire Scale Whale was driven for the first time.
He could never have imagined that Han Changming saw him using the Nine Dragons Order to kill the Infant Crying Beast.
Master Lingxiao smiled and nodded, took out a golden jade bottle and handed it to Han Chaoyang.
After checking everything, Han Chaoyang was delighted and said, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Ling. If you are free someday, please come visit us at Jinjiao Island."
He stood up to say goodbye, and Ling Xiao Zhenren personally saw him out.
······
Ziyue Island, a secret room.
Han Zhangxiang sat cross-legged on a cushion, a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead and some bloodshot in his eyes. In front of him was a red refining furnace, wrapped in billowing flames. The temperature inside was frighteningly high.
Around him, you can see a large number of refining materials.
After a while, Han Zhangxiang retracted his spell and the flames dissipated. He cast a spell on the refining furnace, and the lid of the cauldron flew up. A palm-sized yellow gourd flew out, and the yellow gourd exuded a strong earth spiritual energy fluctuation. The three small words "Qian Yang Gourd" could be vaguely seen.
“Finally succeeded, haha.”
Han Zhangxiang laughed out loud, looking excited.
Over the past twenty years, he has refined many gourd magic weapons, and his refining skills have been constantly improving. His hard work paid off, and he finally refined a top-grade magic weapon.
Over the years, he has invested more than two million spirit stones in refining equipment. He sold part of the magic weapons he refined and distributed part to his clansmen for use. This is because the resources for cultivating immortals in the outer sea are abundant. If he were in the inner sea, his refining level would not be able to improve so quickly.
A sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of Han Zhangxiang.
Han Zhangxiang frowned. He had already said that if it was nothing important, don't disturb him from refining the weapon.
He crushed the sound transmission talisman, and Han Changming's urgent voice suddenly rang out: "Patriarch, I have discovered a shocking secret and I need to tell you in person."
"A shocking secret!"
Han Zhangxiang frowned, his face full of curiosity.
He put away the Qianyang Gourd and walked out.
When he came outside, Han Zhangxiang saw Han Changming with a serious expression.
"Changming, what happened?"
Han Zhangxiang asked as he invited Han Changming in.
Han Changming recounted what had happened. Han Zhangxiang frowned after listening to Han Changming's statement.
"Han Chaoyang, Nine Dragon Order, are you sure?"
Han Zhangxiang asked.
Han Changming described the appearance of the token in detail. He was not sure whether the token was the Nine Dragons Token, one of the five treasures of the Han family of Jiulong Island. After all, he had never seen it, but only heard of it.
Being able to release nine fourth-order dragons to injure the enemy, and being driven by Han Chaoyang, it was hard for Han Changming not to think of the Nine Dragon Order, the Han family's treasure of Jiulong Island.
"In that case, the Han family of Jinjiao Island may be of the same clan as us. However, this matter is of great importance. We should not reveal our identities to them. We should have more contact and deepen our relationship. If conditions permit, it will not be too late for us to recognize each other."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice that if the Han family of Jinjiao Island was indeed of the same clan as the Han family of Huludao and they recognized each other, it would be of great benefit to the future development of the Han family, provided that the Han family of Jinjiao Island was indeed a force established by the Han family of Jiulong Island.
During the heyday of the Han family on Jiulong Island, there were tens of thousands of cultivators, so it was not surprising that they had a backup plan.
"That's the only way. Actually, it's pretty good now. If we recognize each other, it will be a problem for who will integrate into the other."
Han Changming frowned and said that the heritage and power of the Jinjiao Island Han family were stronger than those of the Huludao Han family. If they were to recognize each other, the Huludao Han family would probably have to integrate into the Jinjiao Island Han family. Han Changming would not be able to adapt to the sudden appearance of a group of relatives, and would have to accept the leadership of their relatives, not to mention other members of the clan.
The Han family had finally become equals to Tinghai Pavilion, but now they suddenly had to obey the leadership of the Han family on Jinjiao Island. I'm sure many members of the family would be unwilling to do so.
Even though they share the same clan origin, the two families do not have deep feelings for each other, and it would be better for each family to do its own thing than to merge.
"That's what I thought, too. Let's leave it at that for now! By the way, Changming, I've helped you refine your life-saving magic weapon."
Han Zhangxiang took out the Qianyang Gourd and handed it to Han Changming.
"A top-grade magic weapon, Patriarch, thank you very much."
Han Changming felt the amazing spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the Qianyang Gourd and was overjoyed.
He finally has his own magic weapon. When he fights with others in the future, his strength will be even stronger, and the power he uses to guard the earth will be even greater.
"If you hadn't gotten me a thousand-year-old gourd and a piece of cotton soil crystal, I might not have been able to refine a top-grade magic weapon. After all, a skilled cook cannot cook without rice."
Han Zhangxiang said modestly.
"Anyway, thank you, clan leader. By the way, in a month, it will be Ben Yong's wedding day. We will form an alliance with the Zhou family of Baifeng Island."
Han Changming told the whole story. Han Benyong married the female monk from the Zhou family, and Han Changming discovered Han Chaoyang's identity. It was a double happiness.
"That's great! Double happiness. Since you invited Han Wenbin, it's a good opportunity to deepen our friendship."
Han Zhangxiang said with a smile.
Han Changming nodded and said, "I had this plan too. I didn't expect that our Han family had a backup plan. By the way, Patriarch, if we want to recognize them, how do we confirm their identities?"
"A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. Even if the Han family of Jinjiao Island is really the successor of our ancestors, now is not the time to recognize each other. If we must recognize each other, there is no other way. After all, the ancestor of our lineage was not a core disciple at the time and had no access to the family secrets."
Han Zhangxiang shook his head and said, to be honest, it was indeed difficult to recognize each other. The existence of the Wanfa Sect made them dare not trust each other rashly. If they made a mistake, it would be a disaster for the whole clan.
The Wanfa Sect once sent people disguised as descendants of the Han family and lured and killed many Han family cultivators, making it very difficult to recognize relatives.
