The Han family cultivator killed the only descendant of the Black and White Impermanence, Lu Yunjie advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and Han Changming was killed, which easily made people suspect Lu Yunjie.
Zhao Tuozi had no way to seek revenge on Lu Yunjie. After all, Lu Yunjie had already entered the Nascent Soul stage, and the gap in strength was too great. After much thought, Zhao Tuozi decided to use the Dark Moon Order to hire someone to kill Han Changming.
"Han Changming? Killing him is no problem. Three million spirit stones, according to the rules of our Dark Moon Palace, must be paid in full."
The middle-aged woman spoke in a calm tone.
"Three million? That much?"
Zhao Tuozi frowned. He didn't have so many spirit stones. In order to deceive the killers who were chasing him, he only took away part of the property.
"This is the price for Han Changming at the Jindan stage. If he advances to the Yuanying stage, the price will be even higher. We in the Dark Moon Palace rarely fail."
The middle-aged woman is full of confidence.
"So, you can bring back Han Changming's head?"
Zhao Tuozi asked, his face full of curiosity.
"Try as much as you can, but you may not be able to bring back his head."
Zhao Tuozi pondered for a moment and asked, "What if he escapes and you mistakenly think you killed him? What if he advances to the Nascent Soul stage in the future?"
"Add money. Three million is the price for killing Han Changming in the Jindan stage. Since Han Changming has advanced to the Yuanying stage, we have to pay more. Otherwise, the deal will be considered cancelled."
The middle-aged woman explained in a calm tone.
"What if we kill Han Changming's daughter Han Benfu? How many spirit stones will it take? How many spirit stones will it take to kill Han Benyong?"
Zhao Tuozi asked, he couldn't take out three million spirit stones, so he could only pick a cheaper one.
"Han Benfu is worth 1.5 million, and Han Benyong is worth 1 million."
Zhao Tuozi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's choose Han Benfu!"
Han Benfu attended the alchemy conference with Han Changming and was also an alchemist. If Han Benfu died, the Han family would definitely suspect Lu Yunjie, but they would not suspect Zhao Tuozi, after all, his current identity was a member of the Li family of Jinpeng Island.
After recovering to the Jindan stage, Zhao Tuozi relied on his superb alchemy skills to refine pills and sell them, and quickly accumulated a large amount of spirit stones. He was able to take out 1.5 million spirit stones, but it was equivalent to selling everything he had.
As a third-rank alchemist, it is only a matter of time before he accumulates another 1.5 million spirit stones.
The middle-aged woman wrote a note and handed it to Zhao Tuozi.
Zhao Tuozi took off the storage bag from his waist and poured it down. After a red light passed by, a pile of things appeared on the ground, including spirit stones, alchemy materials, pills, talismans, etc.
The middle-aged woman frowned. This was the kind of guest she hated the most. They dared to hire someone to kill someone in the Dark Moon Palace without even having a few spirit stones.
She checked carefully and found that these things were barely enough for 1.5 million spirit stones.
"After the matter is settled, I will contact you directly here?"
Zhao Tuozi asked.
"No need to contact her again. As long as this girl is still in the Jindan stage, we will send someone to kill her. If she keeps hiding in the market, we will not send anyone to the market to kill her. You either increase the money or give up the deal. As for your origins, we will not ask."
The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice that if Han Benfu had been hiding in Haoran City, the Dark Moon Palace would not send people to the market town to kill Han Benfu. The Dark Moon Palace most wanted to see this situation, which would be a waste of 1.5 million spirit stones.
Zhao Tuozi nodded, turned and left.
The middle-aged woman took out a pale golden magic plate, entered a magic formula, and said, "There is a new business, Han Benfu from the Righteous Alliance, the reward is one million, the two of you go together! Go early and come back early. If there is no chance, don't do anything reckless. Han Benfu will call Ling Xiao Zhenren "Master", so be careful."
"yes."
······
Haoran City, Haoran Tower.
In a private room on the third floor, Han Changming, Han Changying and Li Yunqing were drinking tea and chatting, all talking and laughing.
After a few cups of tea, Li Yunqing got down to business: "Friend Han, I want to buy a batch of mid-quality healing pills from you. The price is negotiable."
A large-scale beast tide broke out in the territory of Sanxian Island. Many Jindan cultivators of the Li family had their healing pills in the warehouse consumed a lot, and the mid-grade healing pills were all used up. Mid-grade healing pills are in great demand in the open sea and are very expensive.
There are mid-grade healing pills for sale on Sifang Island, but they are expensive because the HSBC Business Alliance has monopolized the only trade route leading to Zhongtian Continent.
Li Yunqing planned to purchase a batch of mid-grade healing pills from Han Changming, mainly to take this opportunity to befriend Han Changming and bring the Li and Han families closer.
"A batch of healing pills? How many do you want?"
Han Changming looked calm. A large-scale beast tide had erupted in the territory of Sanxian Island, and there must be a great demand for mid-grade healing pills.
"Our Li family will take as many as you can get."
Li Yunqing was very generous and he could make a lot of money even if he sold it.
"Thirty mid-grade Jinlu Pills, and I want some fourth-grade spiritual honey. This shouldn't be a problem for your Li family, right?"
Han Changming said with a smile that the Li family was a subsidiary force of the Three Immortals Island and also raised many spiritual insects and beasts, including the fourth-level golden jade bee.
The Li family sells spiritual honey every year. Spiritual honey has a wide range of uses. Taking it raw can improve magical powers without any side effects. It can also be used for making elixirs, making pastries, cooking, and brewing wine. It is very popular.
The colorful phoenix butterflies can take spiritual honey, which is very beneficial to their advancement.
"Fourth-level spiritual honey?"
Li Yunqing frowned and said with difficulty: "It is not easy for spirit insects to advance. We have spent a lot of energy to cultivate a fourth-level spirit bee, and we only produce some fourth-level spirit honey every year, which is not enough."
After hearing this, Han Changming looked displeased. He naturally knew that Li Yunqing's words were lies and he was just taking this opportunity to raise the price of the fourth-level spiritual honey.
"Fairy Li, you have difficulties, and so do we. The materials for refining the Golden Dew Pill are not easy to collect, and the difficulty of refining is not low. Go and ask around, how many merchants can produce thirty mid-grade healing pills at once?"
Han Changying said with a frown.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Han is not someone else. Before I set out, my ancestor told me to try my best to meet Fellow Daoist Han's requirements. We can exchange him with the fourth-level spiritual honey."
Li Yunqing quickly changed her words. She just wanted to increase the price of the fourth-grade spiritual honey. Seeing that the Han family was unwilling to sell the mid-grade healing pill, she immediately changed her words.
The fourth-grade spiritual honey is also kept in the warehouse. If there are no mid-grade healing pills, the high-level cultivators of the Li family may be injured and may suffer from consequences, or even die in serious cases. Therefore, all major forces will purchase mid-grade pills and keep them as inventory for emergency use.
Han Changming's expression relaxed and he started negotiating with Li Yunqing.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two reached an agreement. Han Changming took out forty medium-grade golden dew pills and exchanged them for thirty kilograms of fourth-grade spiritual honey from the Li family.
Li Yunqing did not have thirty kilograms of fourth-grade spiritual honey on hand for the time being, so he could only take out three kilograms, and the rest would be replenished later. Han Changming first gave him ten medium-grade golden dew pills, and the remaining thirty would be replenished later.
"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you very much. When you are free in the future, you can come to our Li family as a guest. You saved my cousin Li Yunfeng, and he has always wanted to thank you in person."
Li Yunqing smiled lightly. With ten mid-grade Golden Dew Pills, plus the healing pills that the Li family purchased from other shops, it would be enough for the time being.
"If I have time, I will definitely come to visit you. I heard from my fifth sister that your Li family has raised a lot of spirit butterflies. I am quite interested in this and would like to ask Fairy Li some questions about raising spirit butterflies."
Han Changming's tone was sincere. Han Changying had been to Jinpeng Island as a guest and had seen many strange insects, including hundreds of species of spirit butterflies alone.
"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you for your praise. I dare not ask for your advice. Let's communicate with each other."
Li Yunqing said politely that it was rare for her to have a common topic with Han Changming, and she was more than happy to do so.
Han Changming asked about the methods and precautions for raising spirit butterflies, and Li Yunqing answered them one by one. This was not a particularly important secret.
If the spirit butterfly wants to advance, it is best to plant a number of spirit flowers or spirit fruit trees and let the spirit butterfly collect nectar to brew spirit honey, just like poisonous insects should be raised in places filled with miasma.
An hour later, Han Changming, Han Changying and Li Yunqing walked out of Haoran Building, all with smiles on their faces.
"Fairy Li, thank you for your guidance. If you are free someday, you may come to visit our Purple Moon Island."
Han Changming extended an invitation, saying that making one more friend would be of great benefit to the development of the Han family.
"Okay, I will definitely visit you someday."
Li Yunqing agreed. It was a rare opportunity to get closer to Han Changming, and she was more than happy to do so.
Returning to the Golden Gourd Palace, Han Changming saw Cheng Guangbei standing at the gate of the Golden Gourd Palace, looking around, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Friend Han, you are finally back."
Cheng Guangbei greeted him with a smile. It had been many years since they last met. He was still in the middle stage of Jindan. As a casual cultivator, he was free and unrestrained, but there were fewer ways for him to earn spirit stones.
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Cheng, please come in, let's go in and chat."
Han Changming made a gesture of invitation and brought Cheng Guangbei to the sixth floor of the Golden Gourd Palace, while Han Changying went to greet his friends.
Han Changming took out a pot of mellow honey wine and poured a cup for Cheng Guangbei.
Cheng Guangbei was not polite either, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying: "This wine has a floral scent, it should contain ingredients such as spiritual honey, and there are quite a lot of ingredients."
"Fellow Daoist Cheng is right. This wine is indeed brewed with spiritual honey."
Han Changming nodded and poured another glass for Cheng Guangbei.
Cheng Guangbei drank seven cups in a row before he was satisfied.
He took out a piece of light golden animal skin, handed it to Han Changming, and motioned Han Changming to take a look.
On the golden animal skin was a topographic map with the words "Burial of Immortals" written on it.
"Is this the map of the Immortal Burial Ruins?"
Han Changming said in surprise that he also had a map of the Immortal Burial Ruins, which overlapped with this map.
"That's right. I got this map of the Immortal Burial Ruins by chance. There is a golden marrow fruit tree here. Taking this fruit raw can increase the chance of forming a baby by 10%. The golden marrow fruit tree is located deep in the Immortal Burial Ruins. There are many restrictions. I can't control it by myself. Is Fellow Daoist Han interested in treasure hunting in the Immortal Burial Ruins?"
Cheng Guangbei's face was full of anticipation. Even if he could save up one million spirit stones, it would not be easy to buy a spiritual item for forming an infant. There were many forces that could afford one million spirit stones. He had no choice but to try his luck in the forbidden and dangerous area.
"Golden Marrow Fruit?"
Han Changming was somewhat tempted. He had almost collected all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Infant Water, and there were still two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs left.
"Exactly. In addition to the Golden Marrow Fruit, there are also many good things in the places we pass by on the road, such as the Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Grass, Golden Flame Ganoderma and other spiritual medicines. They are all thousands of years old and are guarded by powerful monsters."
Cheng Guangbei pointed at the map and said, his tone full of temptation.
Han Changming shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Cheng. I'm not interested. You can find someone else. If you need a mid-grade elixir, I can give you a few. If you get something good, you can exchange it with me. I promise not to let you suffer any loss."
He has already reached the great perfection of Jindan and has the Lingying Fruit in his hand. With his current status and position, it is relatively easy for him to obtain spiritual objects to assist in forming a Lingying. There is no need for him to go to the Burial of Immortals Ruins to hunt for treasures. The name of the Burial of Immortals Ruins was not given for nothing.
True Man Ling Xiao had already promised to prepare spiritual objects for Han Changming to form a baby, so Han Changming would not go to the Burial Ruins of Immortals to look for treasures, as there was no need for that.
It’s not that he doesn’t dare to go, but there is no need to. There are so many forbidden areas and secret realms, and there are many good things. It is impossible for Han Changming to go treasure hunting in all of them.
He was willing to sponsor Cheng Guangbei with a few mid-grade medicinal pills. If Cheng Guangbei got something good, Han Changming could buy it at a high price.
"Friend Han, as long as we are careful and prepare more treasures, there shouldn't be too much danger."
Cheng Guangbei advised with some reluctance that he invited Han Changming to hunt for treasure because he valued Han Changming's status and position, and he did not have the courage to let him go to the Burial Ruins of Immortals to hunt for treasure on his own.
It is important for a person to know himself. Cheng Guangbei is only in the middle stage of Jindan and does not even have a top-grade magic weapon in his hand. Let alone the restrictions and monsters in the Burial of Immortals Ruins, even if he encounters other Jindan cultivators, Cheng Guangbei may not be their match.
Han Changming shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind. Fellow Daoist Cheng, please find someone else!"
After hearing this, Cheng Guangbei sighed and said, "Okay! I will stay in Haoran City for a while. If Fellow Daoist Han changes his mind, you can contact me at any time."
"No problem. If I change my mind, I'll contact you."
Han Changming agreed. If Master Ling Xiao had not been in seclusion, he would have wanted to hand the map to Master Ling Xiao.
The Immortal Burial Ruins has a terrible reputation. If it is for spiritual fruits that can assist in forming a baby, Master Ling Xiao may not necessarily go to the Immortal Burial Ruins to search for treasure. After all, he can refine spiritual objects to form a baby himself, and what he lacks is the materials.
Han Changming took out an exquisite golden jade box, handed it to Cheng Guangbei, and said sincerely: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, these are two Golden Dew Pills and two Golden Lizard Pills. The Golden Dew Pills can heal wounds, and the Golden Lizard Pills can detoxify."
After becoming Ling Xiao's apprentice, Han Changming could refine more than ten kinds of third-tier elixirs. Among them, the Golden Lizard Pill was taught by Ling Xiao, which could cure all kinds of poisons. Even if one was poisoned by a fourth-tier poisonous insect, taking a mid-grade Golden Lizard Pill would have a certain effect.
Cheng Guangbei did not refuse. He thanked him and accepted the golden jade box.
After a cup of tea, Cheng Guangbei stood up, said goodbye and left the Golden Gourd Palace.
In the next few days, many Jindan cultivators frequently came to visit Han Changming and asked for elixirs and medicines. Han Changming accepted all of them and exchanged them for a batch of third-level materials.
Seven days later, Han Changming said goodbye to Han Changying and Han Changwu and prepared to return to Ziyue Island.
Liu Weiwei had already cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building, and planned to retreat to reach the Jindan stage. She followed Han Changming and left. Han Benzhi was only in the late stage of foundation building, so he also left. Their own tribesmen took over their positions.
