"Okay, I will refine it as soon as possible and send it to Fellow Daoist Li as soon as possible."
Han Changming agreed without giving it much thought. It was not difficult for him to refine a Lingyu Jade Liquid with two ingredients.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming said goodbye and left.
Sun Sihai, the owner of the Hundred Beasts Building, came up and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"There are no outsiders here, just speak your mind."
Li Chenguang's face was calm.
"Elder Li, do you trust him so much? Although the Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid is not particularly precious, isn't it against the rules to disclose the recipe to outsiders? If he leaks the news and it gets to the ears of the higher-ups, we'll be in trouble."
Sun Sihai said cautiously, looking nervous.
"This person has visited us twice, both times to look for Miss Seven. I will test him for Miss Seven and find out his background. If he is a promising talent, I will report him to Miss Seven and recruit him into our Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. This is also the order of the Alliance Leader. We need to recruit more outstanding cultivators, especially alchemists and weapon refiners who have mastered a certain skill."
Li Chenguang told the story slowly.
"I understand Elder Li's teaching. I will send people to collect information about him and try to find out as much as possible about his background."
Sun Sihai's face was full of flattery.
Li Chenguang nodded and ordered: "You understand best, go and get busy!"
Sun Sihai responded, bowed and left.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming took out a red storage bag and a green storage ring and poured out the contents.
A top-grade magic weapon, the Xuanguan Blade, two thousand-year-old purple glass grasses, a green jade slip and two sets of materials. Han Changming picked up the green jade slip and immersed his spiritual consciousness into it.
After a while, Han Changming withdrew his spiritual consciousness and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
The Yuling Jade Liquid is made from thousand-year-old ginseng as the main ingredient and dozens of spiritual medicines as auxiliary ingredients. Spiritual water is indispensable, which is a good thing for Han Changming.
The Yuling Jade Liquid is a liquid without any elixir patterns. The quality of the liquid can only be known after the spirit beast has consumed it. It can also be detected with some special detection instruments.
Han Changming shook his sleeves, and the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace flew out and landed in front of him. He took out the materials and began to refine the Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the Qianyang True Flame flew out and landed at the bottom of the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace, and the temperature in the room suddenly increased.
All things have spirits. Under certain specific circumstances, after thousands of years of flames, there is a chance that they will develop spirituality. This is the spiritual flame.
Spiritual flame is relatively stable, and has a certain bonus to alchemy and refining. If you get a ball of spiritual flame, the alchemy speed will be faster, the success rate will be higher, and the effect of the refined pill will be better. Zhongtian Continent is rich in immortal cultivation resources, and it is not known whether you can get a ball of spiritual flame.
After a while, Han Changming took out a green gourd the size of a palm, which was shining with light and was obviously a magical weapon.
He cast a spell and the gourd stopper opened automatically. A large amount of spiritual water flew out and turned into a mini snake, which sank into the cauldron of the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace.
The first step in refining the spiritual jade liquid is to add spiritual water.
Li Chenguang gave the spiritual water to Han Changming. After checking it, he found that his own spiritual water was of better quality. Naturally, he used his own spiritual water to refine the spiritual jade liquid.
Soon, the spiritual water began to boil and white mist rolled up.
Han Changming threw the other materials into the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace one after another, and a strange fragrance drifted in the room.
With only two sets of materials, he did not dare to be careless and carefully observed the situation inside the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace.
As time passed, the aroma became stronger and stronger. There was a ball of light silver liquid in the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace, rolling like boiling water.
After a cup of tea, Han Changming made a hand gesture and hurried forward to check.
He stood up, opened the lid of the cauldron and saw a ball of light silver liquid inside with some colorful impurities. Obviously, the elixir refining had failed this time.
He recalled the refining process and found out his own shortcomings.
It was not surprising that he failed the first time he refined the Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid, as he had refined too few fourth-grade pills.
Han Changming poured out the liquids, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and continued to refine the Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid.
Soon, a faint strange fragrance wafted away.
Han Changming's face was solemn, and he paid close attention to the interior of the alchemy furnace.
After a cup of tea, he retracted his spell and opened the lid of the cauldron. There was a ball of silver liquid inside, without any impurities, and emitting a special fragrance.
Two materials and a successful furnace. This is not a difficult task for most fourth-level alchemists. The key point is the quality of the Yuling Jade Liquid. Just from the appearance, there is nothing abnormal.
Han Changming took out the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and poured out the Zihong Dan inside, which was still of top quality.
He put the Nurturing Jade Liquid into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and placed the Taiyi Hualing Gourd in a corner.
Han Changming sat down cross-legged, took out the Spirit Eye Jade, placed it beside him, and began to practice.
Strands of pure spiritual energy flew out from the spiritual eye jade, and as if under some kind of magic, they rushed towards Han Changming.
After a while, a soft yellow glow emerged from Han Changming's body. He closed his eyes and began to practice.
······
Fengxue Valley is a market town that is relatively close to the Ice Wind Mountains. Because the Ice Wind Mountains produce some ice-attributed spiritual medicines that are rare in the outside world, it attracts many cultivators to come and pick the spiritual medicines, which indirectly promotes the prosperity of the market town.
In a secluded green-tiled courtyard, Ouyang Sheng and seven other monks gathered in a green stone pavilion, most of them were injured.
Ouyang Yao's physical body was destroyed, but fortunately her Nascent Soul left her body in time and took over a physical body. She could continue to practice, and it was only a matter of time before she recovered her original cultivation level.
This time, because of their greed, they suffered a great loss and most of them were killed or injured.
"How is it? Still no news about Han Xiaoyou and Liang Xiaoyou?"
Ouyang Sheng frowned and said, logically speaking, if Han Debiao and Liang Youshan escaped, they should go to the market to recuperate and reunite with others.
They waited for more than half a month, but Han Debiao and Liang Youshan did not show up. They didn't know how they were doing.
"They didn't die at the hands of monsters! Without their own soul lamps, we have no way of knowing whether they are alive or dead."
"Or maybe they left on their own and headed for Wanling Market. Should we wait a little longer? Or send someone to look for them in the Ice Wind Mountains?"
"I heard that a fifth-level monster once appeared in the Ice Wind Mountains. Maybe they have died after encountering a fifth-level monster. The Ice Wind Mountains are not small. Tens of thousands of people entering the Ice Wind Mountains is just a drizzle. We have so few people that we can't find them at all."
······
Everyone had their own opinion, and their views varied.
Ouyang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's wait for three more days! If we still can't wait for them, we will leave this place."
After hearing this, no one else said anything.
······
Half a month passed quickly.
Qingha City, a secluded courtyard with green tiles.
Sun Ming's family of four were having dinner. Sun Ming and Sun Sisi had already entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, but their parents were still in the Qi Refining Stage.
"Brother, how's that going?"
Sun Sisi looked at Sun Ming with anticipation. Sun Ming worked for Han Changming, and many low-level cultivators were friends with Sun Ming. Sun Ming borrowed a large sum of spirit stones and bought a foundation-building pill for Sun Sisi, allowing her to successfully advance to the foundation-building stage.
Sun Sisi also wanted to work for Han Changming and asked Sun Ming to introduce her.
If she could also work for Han Changming, she wouldn't have to worry about the resources for cultivating immortals.
Sun Ming smiled bitterly and said, "The shopkeeper is quite busy these days, so I can't ask for help. If we can get some rare treasures and present them to the shopkeeper, it will be much easier."
"Our cultivation is low, even if rare treasures appear in front of us, we may not recognize them, and even if we know them, we can't get them."
Sun Sisi sighed, her face full of worry.
Just then, a sound transmission note flew in.
Sun Ming crushed the sound transmission note, and a gentle male voice suddenly sounded: "My dear Sun, I am He Yang. I have some personal matters that I would like to meet with Senior Han. I wonder if my dear Sun can introduce me to you? After the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"I'm here to ask to see Senior Han again."
Sun Sisi curled her lips, not surprised.
In the past, Jindan cultivators would never be so polite to them. Others were only so polite to them for Han Changming's sake.
Some Jindan cultivators could not see Han Changming, so they had to ask Sun Ming to introduce him to them.
Sun Ming didn't dare to agree, nor did he dare to refuse directly. He could only say that he would inform the other party when he had any news.
"Ming'er, let's meet him! After all, he is a Jindan cultivator, we can't afford to offend him."
Sun's father suggested.
Sun Ming nodded and said, "You guys step aside for a moment. I want to meet this Senior He."
Father Sun and the other two put away their dishes and walked into the house.
Sun Ming opened the gate and saw a thin, pale young man in a green shirt standing at the door. The young man had a square face and big eyes, and there were some brown bloodstains on his clothes, as if he had experienced a fierce fight not long ago.
"Junior Sun Ming, greetings to Senior He."
Sun Ming did not dare to be negligent and bowed quickly.
"Young friend Sun, you are welcome. I will not waste any more time talking. I would like to ask Senior Han to treat my Taoist partner. This incomplete treasure map is a deposit. If you can cure my Taoist partner, I will give you a generous reward."
As He Yang spoke, he took out a black piece of iron and handed it to Sun Ming.
Han Changming is a fourth-rank alchemist. It is not easy to ask him to treat a Jindan cultivator. Ordinary things cannot impress Han Changming.
"A fragment of a treasure map?"
Sun Ming was slightly stunned, then he took the black iron sheet and lifted it up. It felt light and fluttery. He examined it carefully but could not see anything unusual.
"Senior He, are you sure this is a fragment of the treasure map? It doesn't matter if I admit my mistake. Our shopkeeper is knowledgeable and experienced. It will not benefit anyone if we anger him."
Sun Ming frowned and said that he was worried that he had made a mistake and angered Han Changming.
On the one hand, Han Changming gave him a lot of resources for cultivating immortals, so he didn't have to worry about them. On the other hand, Sun Ming was careful about everything, for fear of angering Han Changming.
With his experience and knowledge, he could not see the true value of the iron sheet.
It's okay to make a mistake, but if Han Changming gets angry about it, that's not what Sun Ming wants to see.
"This is passed down from my ancestors. It has been passed down for three generations. I will not joke about the safety of my Taoist partner, Sun Xiaoyou, please."
He Yang took out a green storage bag and handed it to Sun Ming.
Sun Ming shook his head, returned the storage bag to He Yang, and said, "How about this! I'll go with you to find the shopkeeper. As for whether the shopkeeper is willing to meet you, it depends on your luck. I'm working for the shopkeeper, not for your benefit. Senior He, please take it back!"
How could he dare to accept He Yang's benefits? This matter has not even started yet! If this matter fails, He Yang spreads the news that he accepted the benefits, which will affect Sun Ming's impression in Han Changming's mind.
He Yang was slightly stunned and agreed.
"Sister, come with me for a run."
Sun Ming took Sun Sisi and went straight to Qingyun Valley with He Yang.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they arrived outside Qingyun Valley. Several Jindan cultivators were standing outside Qingyun Valley, seemingly waiting for something.
Sun Ming sent a sound transmission note and waited quietly.
In Qingyun Valley, there is a secret room.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion with his eyes closed, his body covered in a soft yellow glow.
After a while, the yellow glow on Han Changming's body dissipated, and he opened his eyes.
“It’s almost time!”
Han Changming let out a light breath and talked to himself.
He picked up the Taiyi Hualing Gourd, uncorked the bottle, and an extremely rich aroma wafted out.
Li Chenguang only wanted one portion of Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid, but the Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid refined by Han Changming could be divided into three portions.
He took out three porcelain bottles of different colors, filled them with the Yuling Jade Liquid, and walked out.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we saw more than a dozen sound transmission notes floating in the air.
Han Changming was not surprised. During this period of time, high-level cultivators always sent him sound transmission notes.
Han Changming didn't want to offend anyone as he was in an unfamiliar place. If it was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would send someone to reply. If it was a Jindan cultivator, it all depended on his mood.
As expected, most of the sound transmission notes were sent by Jindan cultivators, most of whom were asking for medicine, and some came to congratulate.
"Hey, He Yang? Looking for medicine? Iron sheet?"
Han Changming's heart moved, and he shouted outside: "Sun Ming, bring them in! The others go back! I will send someone to contact you when I am free another day."
Outside Qingyun Valley, Sun Ming was delighted when he heard this, and He Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The other monks looked regretful, bowed, and turned away.
The fog covering Qingyun Valley rolled violently, and a cloud ladder suddenly flew out and landed in front of Sun Ming.
Sun Ming and the other two walked up to the ladder without any hesitation.
The ladder suddenly retracted, pulling them into the valley.
Sun Ming and the other two felt a flash before their eyes, and suddenly they appeared in a lush courtyard. Not far away there was a green stone pavilion, and Han Changming was sitting in the pavilion.
Sun Ming and Sun Sisi walked quickly towards Han Changming. Sun Ming said to Sun Sisi, "Sister, take out the piece of iron and show it to the shopkeeper."
He was giving Sun Sisi a chance to show her face and deepen her impression.
Sun Sisi did not dare to delay and quickly took out the black iron sheet and handed it to Han Changming with both hands.
When Han Changming saw the black iron sheet, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He also had a piece of black iron sheet in his hand, and he didn't expect to see another one. He didn't know whether the material was the same.
He took the iron sheet, turned around, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he could clearly see some mysterious runes, which looked like crawling insects.
After arriving at Zhongtian Continent, Han Changming consulted a large number of classics and found a book that introduced the language of the demon clan. He could be sure that the words on the black iron sheet were the language of the demon clan, but he only understood part of the words and could not confirm the content.
As expected, the material of this piece of iron is the same as the one in his hand. It might be some secret technique of the demon clan, or it might be the cave where the powerful demon clan members sit and die.
His eyes returned to normal and he turned around.
"Where did you get this piece of iron? Only one piece?"
Han Changming looked at He Yang and asked in a deep voice.
"To answer Senior Han's question, this is my ancestral heirloom, and there is only one piece."
He Yang said honestly.
Han Changming nodded and said, "I want this piece of iron. Bring your Taoist partner here for me to see! I will do my best. As for whether I can cure her, it depends on how serious her injuries are."
One should be grateful for the favor received. Han Changming was free anyway, so he didn't mind helping a Jindan cultivator with his treatment.
He Yang was extremely excited when he heard this. He quickly bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Han. I will bring my wife over right away. Please wait for a moment, Senior Han."
After saying this, He Yang turned and left.
Han Changming looked at Sun Sisi and asked, "Are you Sun Ming's sister? We have met before."
"I was still young at that time and neglected you, senior. Please forgive me for my sin."
Sun Sisi's face was full of apology and a look of panic.
"Shopkeeper, my sister is very thoughtful and she also wants to work for you. I hope you can help her."
Sun Ming said cautiously, looking nervous.
"Since you are Sun Ming's sister, then stay with me and work for me! Now I have a task for you. Deliver this thing to the Hundred Beasts Building and give it to Fellow Daoist Li Chenguang. You mentioned my name, and Fellow Daoist Li will naturally know it."
Han Changming took out a green porcelain bottle, handed it to Sun Sisi, and instructed.
Sun Sisi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect to get an assignment so soon.
"Sister, why don't you thank the shopkeeper?"
Sun Ming gently pushed Sun Sisi, and Sun Sisi finally reacted. She thanked him repeatedly, carefully put away the green porcelain bottle, bowed and left.
Half a minute later, He Yang returned to Qingyun Valley, holding an unconscious young woman in a red dress in his arms. The woman's face was pale and her breath was weak.
"Senior Han, my wife has been poisoned by a strange poison. Even the mid-level antidote pills are ineffective. Please help her detoxify. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
He Yang said sincerely.
"Come with me! We can't see here."
Han Changming walked towards the green attic not far away. He Yang hurriedly followed him, while Sun Ming stayed outside obediently.
Not long after, Han Changming appeared in a stone chamber over a hundred feet in size. The facilities in the stone chamber were simple, with only a green stone bed and nothing else.
He Yang placed the young woman in the red dress on the green stone bed, his face full of concern.
Han Changming carefully checked the injuries of the young woman in the red dress, pondered for a moment, and said, "How long has she been unconscious?"
"It's been more than half a month. He was fine at first, but passed out after a while. I immediately took my wife back to Qingha City and took some medium-quality detoxification pills, but they didn't work."
He Yang said truthfully that Qingha City had top-grade elixirs for sale, but they had to be booked in advance. Top-grade detoxifying elixirs were in short supply, and if one wanted to buy top-grade detoxifying elixirs, one would have to wait for a long time.
In desperation, He Yang wanted to ask Han Changming for help.
