The tiger eagle was unable to advance to the third level, and when his lifespan ended, he was buried in Huludao.
Even though the Golden-Eyed Fire Bird is a mid-level third-grade beast, if it fights desperately, ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators are no match for it, as the demonic fire it spews is too powerful.
With the Golden-Eyed Fire Sparrow guarding Huludao, Han Deling and Han Daojing could head to the open sea with peace of mind.
"Yes! Chief, De Biao and his men have been missing for many years. We have been living a life of luxury in the inner sea for many years. It is time for us to go to the outer sea to share some of the pressure for you."
Han Daojing smiled and said that the development focus of the Han family is in the outer sea. Thanks to Han Zhangxiang and others working hard in the outer sea, they can practice in the inner sea with peace of mind, and it is time to go to the outer sea.
Han Zhangxiang nodded with satisfaction and asked about the recent situation of the clan, and Han Deling reported truthfully.
Thanks to the immortal cultivation resources transported back from the open sea by the family, the Huludao Han family has been developing better and better, the number of immortal cultivators has been increasing, and it has become one of the five major forces in the Coral Islands.
The Qingyun Sect suffered many casualties among its Jindan cultivators and was no longer as strong as before, and was already in decline.
"Since Daojing and Deling have come to the outer sea, I will go with Benfu and the others!"
Han Zhangxiang smiled and said that Han Deling and Han Daojing came to the outer sea to strengthen the family's strength.
"By the way, clan leader, is there still no news about Fifth Brother and Changming?"
Han Deling remembered something and asked.
Han Zhangxiang shook his head and said, "No, but their life soul lamps have not been extinguished. They are still alive. I just don't know where they are going."
Han Daojing and Han Deling sighed at the same time, their faces filled with disappointment.
The life and death of Han Debiao and his three companions were unknown, and they had been worried that something might have happened to them.
"Okay, don't be too sad. As long as their soul lamps are still there, it means they are fine. Maybe they will come back one day. I believe they will be fine."
Han Zhangxiang comforted.
He took charge of the clan affairs, then left Ziyue Island with Han Benfu and Han Benyong and headed for Haoran City.
······
Haoran City, Golden Gourd Palace.
On the fifth floor, Liu Weiwei was talking to Han Benzhi. Liu Weiwei had already reached the great perfection of foundation building, while Han Benzhi was only in the late stage of foundation building.
"Madam, you can just concentrate on your retreat and strive for the Jindan stage! I can take care of the business of the Golden Gourd Palace."
Han Benzhi's eyes were full of tenderness. He had never had much interest in cultivation. A wife, children and a warm bed were the life he wanted.
Liu Weiwei practices much more diligently than Han Benzhi and has already reached the Jindan stage.
Liu Weiwei nodded and said with a firm look: "Okay, I will definitely advance to the Jindan stage."
She came from a poor family and only got the Foundation Establishment Pill after marrying into the Han family. She practiced very hard, but her shortcoming was that she didn't have much experience in fighting.
"Well said, Weiwei, I believe you can definitely advance to the Jindan stage."
A strong masculine voice suddenly sounded. As soon as the words fell, Han Zhangxiang walked up, and Han Benyong and Han Benfu followed behind Han Zhangxiang.
"Chief, eldest sister, third brother, you are here."
Liu Weiwei was delighted to see Han Zhangxiang and the other two.
"I heard that Haoran City is holding a conference on Taoism. We came here to participate in the conference and exchange some cultivation resources."
Han Zhangxiang said truthfully, and then changed his tone and said, "Weiwei, you should return to Ziyue Island to strive for the Jindan stage! Daojing and Deling have already arrived in the outer sea. With them guarding Ziyue Island, you can strive for the Jindan stage without any worries."
"Great Uncle Daojing and Seventh Aunt are coming to the outer sea? That's great."
Liu Weiwei was overjoyed and agreed.
"Benzhi, Weiwei, how much do you know about the Dao Conference? Why is the Dao Conference being held suddenly?"
Han Zhangxiang asked in confusion.
"I don't know. It was very sudden. I only know that it was an order from Senior Jiang. I guess he wants to collect resources for cultivation! Speaking of which, Haoran City hasn't held a large-scale event in many years."
Han Benzhi looked a little excited when he finished speaking.
Whenever a large-scale event is held, it will attract a large number of monks to enter Haoran City, promote the prosperity of Haoran City, and the business of the Golden Gourd Palace will definitely be better.
"I have sent people to keep an eye on the news of the Dao Conference. If you find out anything, report it to the clan leader immediately."
Liu Weiwei is quite meticulous. In addition to managing her family's business in Haoran City, she also manages a group of spies.
Han Zhangxiang nodded thoughtfully and asked a few questions, and Han Benzhi and Liu Weiwei answered truthfully.
"You are free to move around! Benfu, don't leave the market."
Han Zhangxiang reminded that they had sent people to check for monks who were good at the art of cursing, but they could not find many monks who were good at it, let alone monks who knew the art of cursing.
Either their cultivation is too low and they cannot access much information, or the other party is not well-known.
For safety reasons, after Han Benfu recovered, she never went out alone and always stayed with her tribesmen.
It is easy to dodge a spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. No one knows where the enemy is hiding.
"Understood, Patriarch."
Han Benfu agreed. She learned from her mistakes and would never go out alone again after what happened last time.
After giving a few instructions, Han Zhangxiang left and let them move freely. Liu Weiwei was teleported back to Ziyue Island to go into seclusion to reach the Jindan stage.
After the news of the conference spread, major businesses imported a lot of goods and worked hard to attract customers.
The streets are crowded with people and traffic, and it is quite lively.
"Newly arrived spiritual wine, ranging from first-grade to third-grade spiritual wine, don't miss it if you pass by."
"The best magic tools, good quality and low price, can be pre-ordered, come in and take a look."
"The Ling rice that was just harvested this year is fresh and delicious."
······
Some shop waiters stood at the door and shouted hard to attract customers.
Han Zhangxiang strolled along the street, looking at the shops on both sides of the street.
After a cup of tea, Han Zhangxiang appeared in the square where the casual cultivators set up stalls. There were many stalls here and a wide variety of goods.
Han Zhangxiang walked around and looked around, hoping to find a bargain.
When passing by a small stall, the spirit beast bag on Han Zhangxiang's waist shook.
He stopped and looked towards the stall.
The stall owner was a skinny old man in a green robe, who was only in the middle stage of foundation building. On his stall were some minerals, elixirs, and magic pills, all of which were used by foundation building cultivators. Naturally, Han Zhangxiang looked down on them.
A piece of black ore as big as a watermelon caught Han Zhangxiang's attention. The surface of the black ore was uneven and looked ordinary.
This is the second-level refining material, black sand ore. The black sand needs to be refined and is usually used to refine magical weapons such as swords.
"How much is this piece of black sand ore?"
Han Zhangxiang picked up the black ore and asked.
He restrained his own aura, and low-level cultivators could not detect it at all.
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. This piece of black sand ore is most suitable for refining magic tools. One hundred spirit stones."
The green-robed old man said enthusiastically.
Han Zhangxiang did not bargain. He paid the spirit stones and took the black sand ore away.
He walked around twice but found nothing else and didn't buy anything else.
Two hours later, the sky darkened and Han Zhangxiang appeared at the door of a golden attic with carved railings and jade bricks.
Xuanqinglou is a newly opened shop that mainly sells various raw materials, ores, monster materials, talisman paper, elixirs, monster pills, etc. The business is quite good. According to Liu Weiwei, the owner of this shop is from Zhongtian Continent.
There were quite a few monks coming in and out, and it looked very lively.
Han Zhangxiang walked in. The lobby was spacious and bright, with many monks shopping. He was familiar with the place and went straight upstairs.
When he arrived at the fifth floor, Han Zhangxiang saw a burly man in a green shirt. The man had an elegant face and was at the early stage of Jindan.
"I am Song Qing, the owner of Xuanqinglou. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, fellow Taoist."
The man in green shirt said politely.
Han Zhangxiang took out a green jade slip, handed it to Song Qing, and said, "I want to buy these refining materials. I wonder if your store has them."
"We don't have the three materials, thousand-year-old fire glass wood, fourth-level fire carp beast hide, and golden flame crystal, but we have all the other materials."
Song Qing said truthfully.
"Isn't the owner of your Xuanqinglou from Zhongtian Continent? He doesn't even have these few materials?"
Han Zhangxiang asked with a frown. He wanted to refine a top-grade magic weapon, and these three materials were necessary.
"It's not that we don't have them. We'll auction them off. If you want them, come to Xuanqing Tower at 4 p.m. the day after tomorrow to participate in the auction. There are quite a few good things there, including a high-grade auxiliary magic weapon and a fourth-level talisman."
Song Qing smiled and said that the Taoist Conference was about to be held, which was a great opportunity to make a fortune, and Xuan Qinglou would naturally not miss this opportunity.
"Auction! Fourth-level Talisman!"
Han Zhangxiang nodded and agreed.
If you can get a fourth-level talisman, you can use it as a killer weapon and play a significant role at the critical moment.
Song Qing took out a magic disk that was shining with spiritual light, entered a magic formula, and made some gestures.
After a while, a servant in green came up holding a green storage bag, handed the bag to Han Zhangxiang and left.
"Fellow Daoist, take a look and see if this is what you want."
Song Qing handed the storage bag to Han Zhangxiang. Han Zhangxiang checked it carefully and after confirming that it was correct, he happily paid the spirit stones and left Xuanqing Tower.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Zhangxiang appeared in a quiet courtyard, which was purchased by the Han family and specially provided a place for the clan members to rest and practice.
Han Zhangxiang slapped the spirit beast bag, and the fire rock beast flew out and landed on the ground.
He flipped his palm and a piece of black ore appeared in his hand. He shook his wrist and the black ore flew out and floated in the air.
roar!
The Fire Rock Beast spewed out a thick red flame, which hit the black ore, and the billowing flames enveloped the black ore.
The Fire Rock Beast is already at the third level, and the demonic fire it spews is extremely powerful, which cannot be resisted by the second-level ore at all.
Soon, the black ore showed signs of melting. The surface slowly melted and turned into a pool of black iron liquid, which dripped onto the ground and burned holes.
As time passed, the volume of the black ore became smaller and smaller, revealing a red crystal with some golden lines on the surface.
"Golden Flame Crystal!"
A flash of surprise crossed Han Zhangxiang's eyes. This was a fourth-grade refining material. Such a small piece was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. He couldn't buy it in Xuanqing Tower, but he didn't expect to get a bargain and make a small profit.
Only volcanic groups that are more than ten thousand years old can produce refining materials such as Golden Flame Stone. Fire Rock Beasts usually live in volcanic areas and are very sensitive to fire aura.
The Fire Rock Beast let out a low roar, as if asking for credit.
"That's right. I didn't expect you to find Golden Flame Crystal in the spirit beast's bag."
Han Zhangxiang praised that in order to train the Fire Rock Beast to the third level, he invested a lot of immortal cultivation resources but got little return.
The black sand ore he bought for 100 yuan contained a golden flame crystal worth tens of thousands of yuan. He made a fortune and it was well worth the fire elixir he fed to the Fire Rock Beast every day.
He speculated that when the volcano erupted, a piece of Golden Flame Crystal was ejected and mixed in the magma. The magma cooled and turned into black sand ore, which was accidentally obtained by a foundation-building cultivator. After several twists and turns, it fell into Han Zhangxiang's hands.
The Fire Rock Beast lay on the ground, and the Golden Flame Crystal fell to the ground.
Han Zhangxiang touched its head lovingly, took out two red fruits, fed them to the Fire Rock Beast, and let it move freely in the yard.
······
In a quiet manor, Han Benfu was paying respects to Master Lingxiao, with Fairy Qinglian standing beside her.
Shen Qinghuan successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and is currently recuperating.
"Master, I collected a thousand-year-old blue rain flower some time ago. If you don't mind, please accept it!"
Han Benfu took out a blue jade box and handed it to Master Ling Xiao with both hands.
If it weren't for Master Lingxiao, she would have died. As the saying goes, one should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water. Han Benfu has always been grateful to Master Lingxiao.
Every once in a while, she would send immortal cultivation resources to Ling Xiao. On the one hand, she wanted to express her gratitude to Ling Xiao for saving her life; on the other hand, it was to maintain the relationship between Ling Xiao and the Han family, as relationships also needed to be maintained.
Ling Xiao Zhenren nodded with satisfaction and said in a friendly manner: "You are thoughtful, girl. Your father's bewitching lamp is still on, right? Is there still no news about him?"
"To reply to Master, my father's soul lamp has not been extinguished yet, and there is no news about them yet."
Han Benfu said truthfully.
"Big Brother has already formed a Nascent Soul stage. If Junior Brother Han hadn't disappeared, he would probably be in seclusion trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Fairy Qinglian said in a regretful tone.
"As long as Changming's soul lamp is not extinguished, it means he is still alive. I believe he will return safely. Qing'er, Benfu's talent in alchemy is not bad either. You should give her more guidance. Benfu, learn more from your master."
Han Benfu and Fairy Qinglian agreed readily as they had a good personal relationship.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go down! I still have things to take care of."
Master Ling Xiao gave them a few instructions and asked them to leave.
Han Benfu and Fairy Qinglian responded and turned to leave.
Ling Xiao Zhenren seemed to sense something. He took out a green communication disk and typed in a spell. A gentle male voice suddenly sounded: "Fellow Daoist Ling, is it convenient now? If it is convenient, come to my place and I will tell you something."
"That's convenient, Brother Jiang. I'll be there right away."
Zhenren Lingxiao agreed without hesitation. Jiang Qingshu was the acting leader, and Zhenren Lingxiao was only one of the top leaders of the Zhengdao Alliance. Jiang Qingshu's status was higher.
He put away the subpoena disk and left the residence.
······
A five-story cyan attic, a guest room.
Fairy Hanyue was talking to Taoist Zifeng, and both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
"I have already obtained the Millennium Soul Nourishing Grass, and the other auxiliary medicines have been gathered. I can ask Fellow Daoist Ling to refine the Nine Revolutions Soul Nourishing Pill."
Taoist Zi Feng said in a deep voice that part of their souls had been taken away by the demon tribe in the Spirit Transformation Stage. If their souls were destroyed, at best their cultivation would stagnate, at worst their vitality would be severely damaged and they would fall back to the Core Formation Stage.
To this end, they have been searching for a panacea to repair the primordial spirit over the years. However, elixirs to repair the primordial spirit are too rare. They have only found the recipe and materials, and they still need to hire someone to refine the elixir.
The Nascent Soul cultivator with the highest alchemy skills in the Righteous Alliance is none other than True Man Ling Xiao.
They only got one set of materials, so it would be better to ask Master Ling Xiao to make the elixir for them.
