If it weren't for the Vermillion Bird Fruit, it would probably take Han Changming decades to reach the Great Perfection of the Jindan stage.
Taking too many elixirs will cause elixirs poisoning, and cultivators will also develop drug resistance in their bodies. However, it is different with rare and exotic fruits, which have almost no side effects. Their disadvantages are that the efficacy is not strong enough, the growth cycle is long, and they cannot be taken in large quantities.
Han Changming's mind moved, and he appeared in the Suzaku space.
As soon as he appeared in the Suzaku space, he heard a sharp bird cry and a golden light fell from the sky and landed in front of him. It was the Golden Crow with Golden Pupils.
After taking the top-grade beast-raising elixir, the Golden Crow fell into a deep sleep and successfully advanced to the third level.
The size of the Golden Crow with Golden Eyes was twice as large as before, and its golden feathers reflected bursts of golden light.
It uttered a clear bird cry, opened its mouth and spurted out a stream of golden flame, which hit the ground.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a fire pit several meters in size suddenly appeared on the ground, and the soil in the pit showed signs of melting.
"Advanced to the third level? Not bad."
Han Changming's face was full of joy and he jumped onto the back of the Golden Crow with Golden Pupils.
The golden-eyed golden crow spread its wings, soared into the air, and flew high into the sky carrying Han Changming.
The wind whistled past, and Han Changming's hair fluttered in the wind.
In terms of flying speed alone, the Golden Crow with Golden Pupils is not as good as the Peacock, but the demonic fire spewed out by the Golden Crow with Golden Pupils is more powerful.
A cup of tea later, the golden-eyed golden crow landed on the ground, letting out a joyful hissing sound from its mouth.
Han Changming took out a medium-grade beast-raising pill and fed it to the Golden-Pupil Golden Crow. The Golden-Pupil Golden Crow was then satisfied and flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Han Changming patrolled the Suzaku space and came to a cave inside Lingshan, where several spirit fish were raised.
As soon as he walked into the cave, he felt a scorching heat and thought to himself that something was wrong.
The pool dried up, several spirit fish disappeared, and there were obvious signs of melting on the stone walls. Apparently, the Golden Crow with Golden Eyes used this place as its nest and ate those second-level spirit fish.
It’s not that the Golden Eyed Golden Crow disobeyed the order, but that Han Changming didn’t take the spirit fish seriously and forgot about it.
"We need to build a separate nest for the Golden Eyed Crow. The demonic fire it spews out is quite powerful."
Han Changming was talking to himself. This incident reminded him that the attack power of the Golden Crow with Golden Eyes was quite strong. It was not a good idea to place it in the Vermillion Bird space. A separate nest had to be built for it.
He inspected the Suzaku space and fortunately, there was no problem with the elixir and the two Soul-Eating Earthworms had grown to the third-grade intermediate level.
Han Changming blew a whistle, and the golden-eyed golden crow suddenly turned into a golden light, flew into a spirit beast bag on his waist and disappeared.
He exited the Suzaku space and walked out.
When they arrived at the Valley of Insects, the stone wall on the left lit up with colorful patterns, and two colorful phoenix butterflies suddenly flew up and flew towards Han Changming.
They are still of the lower third grade. There is no way. Their current magical powers are too weak. Han Changming has limited beast-raising pills, and not many are left for them.
Han Changming took out a green porcelain bottle and threw it towards the stone wall.
With a dull "pop" sound, the green porcelain bottle broke, and a pile of green nectar splashed out. A strong floral fragrance drifted in the air, and two colorful phoenix butterflies flew towards the nectar.
The five-colored phoenix butterfly loves spiritual honey very much, and consuming spiritual honey is of great benefit to their advancement. Unfortunately, high-level spiritual honey is relatively rare, and many healing pills use high-level spiritual honey.
Walking into the Valley of Insects, a silver light descended from the sky. Han Changming stretched out his right hand, and the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect fell into his hand.
The Thunder Rhinoceros Bug is much larger than before, with lightning surrounding its entire body. It is already a mid-level third-grade bug, so its cultivation speed is considered slow.
Han Changming took out a piece of golden thunder grass and fed it to the thunder rhinoceros worm.
The thunder rhinoceros insect let out an excited hissing sound, flapped its wings, and flew away into the distance.
Han Changming looked around, trying to find the Xuyuan Bug and the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion.
Strangely, he didn't sense their presence.
The Hundred Insects Valley has set up restrictions. They have recognized their master for many years and it is impossible for them to escape from the Hundred Insects Valley.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the void ahead, and a black hole several meters in size appeared out of thin air. The Xuyuan Worm and the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion flew out of the black hole, and the black hole quickly healed.
The sizes of the Xuyuan Worm and the Amethyst Flying Scorpion have increased a lot. The Xuyuan Worm is two meters long, with golden lines all over its body. The two tentacles on its head sway left and right. It is now a third-grade intermediate product, and the Amethyst Flying Scorpion has been promoted to a third-grade upper-grade product. It is bright in color, like a piece of purple crystal. This is expected. The poison sac of the fourth-grade seven-colored python is a great tonic for the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
Seeing Han Changming, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion let out a low hissing sound and its tail sting swayed unsteadily.
The Xuyuan insect flew onto Han Changming's arm and its huge body shrank into a ball.
Han Changming took out two medium-grade beast-raising pills and fed them.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion is a powerful helper who has assisted Han Changming in killing many powerful enemies. The Void Yuan Bug is one of his life-saving trump cards.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion let out a strange cry and spewed out a fishy and sweet purple poisonous mist that hit the ground.
The purple poisonous mist hit the ground, and a burst of green smoke suddenly rose from the ground. A huge hole was immediately corroded. The purple poisonous mist hit a yellow boulder, and the yellow boulder disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, after swallowing the poison sac of the fourth-order seven-colored python, the toxicity of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion increased greatly.
The Xuyuan worm was not willing to be outdone. It let out a sharp hissing sound, and swung its sickle-like claws crosswise towards the void in front of it. The void shook and twisted, and a black hole several meters in size appeared out of thin air.
Han Changming's mind moved, and he followed the Xuyuan insect in. It was pitch black all around.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Changming and the Xuyuan insect fell from the void.
Han Changming looked excited. If the Xuyuan insect advanced to the fourth level, the temporary space created could last longer.
Han Changming hid in the void, and few rare treasures or magical powers could attack him.
"Husband, you are out of seclusion."
A delighted female voice sounded. It was Ye Xin, her eyes full of joy.
During Han Changming's retreat, Ye Xin would feed food to the Amethyst Flying Scorpion and other spiritual insects every once in a while, otherwise they would not have advanced so quickly.
Han Changming nodded and said with a smile: "Madam, is there anything going on in the clan?"
"My sister is still in seclusion, but a big thing happened in the clan. Uncle Wu went treasure hunting with Fairy Liang from Liuli Island, and then they disappeared. There has been no news since then."
Ye Xin recounted the whole story in detail. The Han family had never given up looking for Han Debiao, but unfortunately there was no news of Han Debiao.
"Uncle Wu is missing?"
Han Changming frowned. This was not good news.
There are more and more Jindan cultivators in the Han family, but there are not many Jindan cultivators with strong combat power. Han Debiao can be ranked among the top three. With the disappearance of Han Debiao, the Han family has temporarily lost a powerful combat force.
"We sent many people to look for Uncle Wu, but there is no news about him. The same is true for Fairy Liang. We don't know where the ancient teleportation array has teleported to. We are afraid that they have been captured by the demon tribe."
There was a hint of worry in Ye Xin's eyes. The treasure hunting site was located at the border between humans and demons. There was a high possibility of encountering demons. If she encountered a human Nascent Soul cultivator, her life would not be in danger.
"Send more people. I hope Uncle Wu can come back soon. I will go to Haoran City to look for Senior Brother Shen to see if there is any clue to find Uncle Wu."
Han Changming looked solemn. Han Debiao's sudden disappearance was really beyond his expectations.
After giving a few instructions, Han Changming left Qinghulu Island.
Less than half a month later, Han Changming came to Haoran City and met Shen Qinghuan smoothly.
"Brother Shen, how is the master these days?"
Han Changming's face was full of concern.
"Master is in seclusion for cultivation. It will probably take a long time for him to come out."
Shen Qinghuan said truthfully. He thought of something and asked, "Junior Brother Han, there is still no news about your uncle, but I asked someone to check it out. There is indeed an ancient teleportation array there. Maybe they were teleported to a very safe place. Don't worry too much."
"Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother Shen."
Han Changming said gratefully.
"We are family, why are you being polite? Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. Lu Yunjie, the descendant of Tiansha Zhenren, has already conceived a baby."
Shen Qinghuan looked solemn when he finished speaking.
Lu Yunjie is the only descendant of Tiansha Zhenren. He has been spoiled since childhood and does not need to worry about resources for cultivating immortals. It is not surprising that he has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
The descendants of the Black and White Impermanence died at the hands of the Han family cultivators, which was not a good thing for Han Changming.
"Did Fellow Daoist Lu have a baby?"
Han Changming frowned. He had met Lu Yunjie once and his impression of him was average.
"Junior Brother Han, be careful when you go out. Don't run around everywhere. Don't worry too much. With Master here, I don't think they dare to do anything wrong."
Shen Qinghuan said in a deep voice that Master Lingxiao was proficient in alchemy, and many Nascent Soul cultivators would give Master Lingxiao some face.
It is indeed unwise to make enemies with a Nascent Soul stage alchemist for the sake of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Han Changming nodded solemnly. Now that Lu Yunjie had entered the Nascent Soul stage, he had to be more careful when going out in the future. He should be on guard against others, but he should not have the intention to harm others.
"Senior Brother Shen, you are about to reach the Nascent Soul stage!"
Han Changming asked with a smile. Shen Qinghuan's aura was even stronger than Han Changming's.
"Master has prepared spiritual objects for me to form an infant. I plan to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage. Junior Sister Wang is also in retreat to practice. If there is anything urgent, you can go find Junior Sister Wang or ask my disciples to do it. I will be in retreat this time for decades or even hundreds of years."
Shen Qinghuan's face was firm. As the eldest disciple of Master Ling Xiao, Master Ling Xiao had high hopes for him.
Han Changming agreed with a smile. After chatting for a while, Han Changming said goodbye and left.
The Golden Gourd Palace can pre-order mid-grade elixirs, and business is particularly good. With Ling Xiao Zhenren's reputation, other businesses can only look on with envy.
Han Changming had just walked into the Golden Gourd Palace when Han Changying happened to come down from downstairs with a happy look on her face.
"Ninth brother, you are out of seclusion."
Han Changying's tone was enthusiastic. There were often Jindan cultivators who asked her about Han Changming, wanting to ask Han Changming for help in refining pills.
The bark of the human shadow tree, Han Changming is now quite famous in the Righteous Alliance.
After years of hard training, Han Changying can now refine mid-grade magic weapons, but the success rate is not high.
"Fifth sister, let's go upstairs and talk! I have something to ask you."
Arriving on the seventh floor, Han Changming asked, "Fifth sister, is there any news about Fifth Uncle?"
Han Changying shook his head and said, "No, I asked several forces to keep an eye on it, but they have no news about Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu is very powerful, so his life should not be in danger. We should not worry too much. By the way, Ninth Brother, Fairy Li from Jinpeng Island wants to see you, probably to make an elixir."
"Fairy Li from Jinpeng Island?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He had no relationship with Li Yunqing, but for Han Changying's sake, he could help.
"Yes! Ninth brother, several decades ago, you left Sifang Island and saved several Li family members on your way back. One of them, Li Yunfeng, has now reached the stage of Dan formation. He said that he would come to thank you when he has time to repay you for saving his life."
"Li Yunfeng?"
Han Changming did not know this person, but he did save several members of the Li family. Unexpectedly, one of them advanced to the Jindan stage.
"Okay! Tell Fairy Li to meet in the private room of Haoran Building tonight. By the way, has anything big happened in the outer sea recently?"
Han Changming asked casually.
"Lu Yunjie from Penglai Island has entered the Nascent Soul stage. A large-scale beast tide broke out on the territory of the Three Immortals Island. Although many Nascent Soul cultivators took action, no disaster occurred. Fairy Qiandie, one of the Three Immortals in the Outer Sea, was seriously injured by the transformed demons. By the way, Zhao Tuozi, a disciple of True Man Sanjue, disappeared suddenly. He disappeared after the alchemy conference. Some people said that he was killed by the demons. Some people said that he went to the Burial Immortal Ruins and died there. According to reliable information, the restrictions of the Burial Immortal Ruins will be weakened in a few years, and many cultivators will go there to search for treasures."
Han Changying said slowly that every once in a while, the restrictions of the Immortal Burial Ruins would be weakened, and that would be the best time to hunt for treasure.
Han Changming once obtained a map of the Immortal Burial Ruins from a casual cultivator in the Jindan stage, but he had no interest in taking the risk in the Immortal Burial Ruins. He now only wanted to practice step by step and gather materials to refine the Infant Transformation Water in preparation for the Infant Formation.
"Zhao Tuozi is missing?"
Han Changming was surprised. Zhao Tuozi's alchemy skills were not low, and he was also a disciple of Master Sanjue, but he disappeared for no reason. It seemed that the outer sea was not as calm as it seemed.
Han Changying nodded and said, "Yes! True Man Sanjue sent many cultivators to look for Zhao Tuozi, but unfortunately they didn't find him. I guess it was done by hostile forces. If a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Being too outstanding is not a good thing. Ninth brother, be careful when you go out."
"I understand. Tell Fairy Li that we can get together at Haoran Tower tonight."
Han Changming chatted with Han Changying for a while, then left the Golden Gourd Palace and rushed to the Golden Dragon Pavilion.
······
Sifang Island, a quiet courtyard.
Zhao Tuozi sat on a stone bench, holding a Dark Moon Order in his hand.
"Lu Yunjie, you have actually advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. In this case, I must act sooner."
Zhao Tuozi muttered to himself with a gloomy look.
He took out a light blue pill and put it into his mouth.
Not long after, his facial features became blurred, his abdomen swelled up, and he turned into a potbellied, round-faced fat man that no one could recognize.
Zhao Tuozi walked out of the yard, and half a quarter of an hour later, he appeared at the door of a grocery store. The owner was an old man in his seventies wearing a green robe. Some refining materials and demon pills were placed on the shelves.
Zhao Tuozi walked up to the old man in green robe, took out the Dark Moon Order, and said, "I'm here to look for someone."
"Senior, please follow me."
The old man in green robe made a gesture of invitation and took Zhao Tuozi to the backyard.
There was a two-story green attic in the courtyard, and the door of the attic suddenly opened.
Zhao Tuozi strode towards the attic. The attic was simply decorated. A middle-aged woman with thick hands and feet was sitting on a stool. There was no trace of magical power on her body.
"Since you are here with the Dark Moon Order, you are our guest. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was calm.
"I want you to help me kill someone."
"who!"
Zhao Tuozi's face darkened and he said, "Master Lingxiao's third disciple, Han Changming."
