Qingbiefang Market is located at the junction of two seas. Immortal cultivators from the two seas often come in and out of Qingbiefang Market, bringing with them specialties from the two seas. Business is prosperous, but the cultivators coming in and out of Qingbiefang Market are a mixed bunch.
The Han family rented two shops in Qingbiefang City, a medicine shop and a material purchasing shop.
The pill shop mainly sells first-level pills, and the material purchasing shop purchases various raw materials.
There is an alchemist in the medicine shop, Han Dechun, a first-class top-grade alchemist.
Han Dechun is ranked tenth in the De generation, is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and is sixty-two years old. Even if he takes the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of him advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage is very low.
Generally speaking, the best age for foundation building is before the age of forty. If that doesn't work, it is still possible to advance to the foundation building stage by taking foundation building pills before the age of sixty. After the age of sixty, it is difficult to advance to the foundation building stage even if you take foundation building pills.
"By the way, clan leader, I have changed my cultivation method. Does the family have the materials to refine my own magical weapon?"
Han Changming talked about the materials needed to refine the four kinds of natal magic weapons. With the help of the family, it would be easier to collect materials. This was the advantage of the family.
"Natal magic weapon? To be honest, I don't quite agree with you cultivating a natal magic weapon. Refining a natal magic weapon requires at least two third-level refining materials and a variety of second-level materials. The cost is too high. Even if you become a second-level alchemist, it will be difficult to afford the cost of refining a natal magic weapon. This is not the point. The natal magic weapon needs to be cultivated with innate true fire. If the time is short, the power of the natal magic weapon will not be strong enough. It will take at least several years to cultivate. If the natal magic weapon is damaged, it will affect you. If you are unlucky and the natal magic weapon is destroyed, you will fall back to a lower realm." Han Zhangxiang said earnestly.
A third-grade refining tool requires at least tens of thousands of materials, and the cost of refining a life-saving magic tool is at least 50,000 spirit stones. The Han family's annual profit is only more than 10,000 spirit stones, and they have to hand over 1,000 spirit stones to Tinghai Pavilion.
One thousand spirit stones are just routine protection fees. If you encounter any trouble, please ask Haige to help you, which will cost extra.
Of course, this profit refers to the net profit, after deducting the salaries of the clan members and various expenses.
"Thank you for your teachings, clan leader. However, I plan to give it a try. If I become a second-level alchemist, I should be able to support the expenses." Han Changming said seriously.
With the help of Taiyi Hualing Gourd and the family's focused training, his chances of becoming a second-level alchemist are still very high. As long as he becomes a second-level alchemist, it is only a matter of time before he accumulates 50,000 spirit stones.
Han Changming was determined, and Han Zhangxiang could not persuade him any more. He said, "According to the clan rules, you will receive an annual salary of 500 spirit stones, and two second-level inferior magic tools. By the way, Chang Shuo collected a batch of poisonous herbs for you, and he asked someone to send them back to you. They are stored in the General Affairs Hall. You can go to the General Affairs Hall to collect them."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After leaving Qianhulu Mountain, Han Changming went to the General Affairs Hall to obtain resources for cultivating immortals.
Five hundred spirit stones, a five-meter-long storage bag, a demon-trapping net and a spirit-trapping rope.
The Demon-Trapping Net and the Soul-Trapping Rope are made from green iron vines that are over a hundred years old. Even these second-grade, mid-quality magical tools are difficult to damage and are very sturdy.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming came to his grandfather's mourning hall, burned incense for his grandfather, and told his grandfather the news of his foundation building.
"Grandpa, if I have the chance, I will definitely kill Chen Yuanhua to avenge you." Han Changming kowtowed three times towards Han Daohe's spirit tablet and said seriously, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Walking out of the mourning hall and coming to a stone chamber, Han Changming released the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. As soon as it left the spirit beast bag, it immediately circled around Han Changming, making a strange hissing sound from its mouth.
Han Changming took out a green jade box, opened the lid, and a scorpion as big as a watermelon flew out.
The scorpion is golden all over, with circles of purple spiritual patterns on its body and a pair of wings on its back.
This is a first-grade, top-quality purple-gold scorpion. It is smaller than the Amethyst Flying Scorpion, but its grade is higher than the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
As soon as the purple-gold scorpion appeared, it immediately spewed out a large amount of purple poisonous mist, attacking Han Changming.
Han Changming was prepared. He raised his hand and a water wall talisman flew out, turning into a blue water wall several feet high, blocking in front of him.
The purple poisonous mist hit the blue water wall, and immediately a puff of green smoke rose up, making a muffled "sizzling" sound.
The purple scorpion flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, attempting to cross the water wall to attack Han Changming.
A strange hissing sound was heard, and the purple scorpion suddenly stopped.
A large piece of red-yellow flame fell from the sky and hit the purple-gold scorpion.
The incredibly high temperature made the purple scorpion emit a strange hissing sound, and the wings on its back were soon burned off, and it fell from mid-air.
The Qianyang True Flame is not something that a first-grade top-grade demon insect can resist. Han Changming has just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the power of the Qianyang True Flame is not very great, and it is not something that a first-grade top-grade demon insect can resist.
The purple gold scorpion let out bursts of hissing sounds and rushed around. The purple crystal flying scorpion became a little excited and circled around the purple gold scorpion.
Not long after, the red-yellow flames dissipated, and the purple-gold scorpion was dying. It was not dead yet, and half of its body had turned red.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion immediately rushed forward, and its tail hook swung, turning into a large purple shadow, piercing the head of the Purple Gold Scorpion. It grabbed the body of the Purple Gold Scorpion with its pincers, tore it hard, tore it in half, and began to bite it.
It ate the body of the purple scorpion in no time and let out an excited hiss.
Han Changming took out several small black grasses and threw them on the ground, which the Amethyst Flying Scorpion quickly ate.
After eating several poisonous herbs that were nearly a hundred years old, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion felt a little drowsy, so Han Changming put it back into the spirit beast bag.
He sat cross-legged and began to practice the fourth level formula of "Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong".
Not long after, a large cloud of red-yellow mist appeared in the room, and wisps of red-yellow mist flowed through his mouth and nose and into his body.
The reddish-yellow mist was guided by Han Changming to his dantian and poured into the reddish-yellow liquid.
Seven days later, just after dawn, Han Changming left his residence and flew to the General Affairs Hall, where ten Qi-refining monks had been waiting for a long time.
They followed Han Changming to Qingbiefang Market to guard the shops or gather information.
Han Changming didn't waste any time and directly summoned a blue boat, which instantly grew larger with the words "Fei Hai" engraved on the boat.
After entering the foundation-building stage, the Qingfeng Gourd, a first-level flying magic weapon, is not of much use. The Feihai Boat is a second-level, low-grade flying magic weapon and is a relic of Chen Ziyang.
"Everyone, come up!"
Han Changming jumped up first, and ten Qi-refining monks hurriedly followed.
He cast a spell and a light blue curtain of light emerged, covering the entire flying boat.
The Feihai Boat glowed brightly and flew high into the sky.
Not long after, the Feihai Boat turned into a blue light and disappeared into the horizon.
