A few years ago, he met the leader of the Xuan Ya Sect, Old Man Xuan Ya, who gave him a gift to congratulate him on his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
"You killed the monks from the Black Crow Sect?"
Han Changming asked, if He Yang and his wife had not killed the monks from Xuan Ya Sect, how could there be any chance of turning the situation around.
"No, we are outnumbered and it's good enough that we managed to break out of the encirclement. We only injured Black Crane Master, who is the third disciple of Black Crow Master."
He Yang was very nervous. If Han Changming was unwilling to help them, they would definitely not be able to get through this level.
They have made many friends over the years, but when they heard that they had provoked the Xuan Ya Sect, these friends all closed their doors to them. Old Man Xuan Ya is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so if they want to resolve the crisis, they must ask a Nascent Soul cultivator to come forward, and he must be more powerful than Old Man Xuan Ya.
Han Changming is a fourth-rank alchemist with a high level of alchemy skills. His name has spread throughout Qinghe City. All the high-level cultivators in Qinghe City know of Han Changming's existence. If Han Changming is willing to help, they may be able to get through this level.
After all, the couple are just Jindan cultivators, and with Han Changming's identity and status, he may not help them.
If Han Changming didn't help them, they would probably have to live in Qingha City for the rest of their lives, living in fear.
"Tell us about your treasure hunt in detail, especially what you did after you met the Black Crow Sect monks. Don't hide anything, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
Han Changming said solemnly that if the monks from Xuan Ya Sect had not been killed, there would still be hope for the situation to turn around.
He Yang did not dare to be negligent and recounted the whole incident in detail.
"You stay here first. I will send someone to investigate. If you are not lying, I can come forward to negotiate with Brother Yang. Sun Ming, take them down."
Han Changming gave the order. He would naturally not believe He Yang's one-sided words.
He Yang and Chen Yao thanked him repeatedly, agreed, and left with Sun Ming.
Han Changming's spiritual consciousness immersed in the inheritance stone, and the inheritance stone lit up with a dazzling light. All the runes lit up, blocking his spiritual consciousness.
Han Changming snorted lightly, his spiritual sense opened up, the runes on the surface of the inheritance stone dimmed, and a huge amount of information poured into Han Changming's sea of consciousness.
"Jin Yangzi, a fourth-level alchemist?"
Han Changming frowned. This inheritance stone was left by a Nascent Soul cultivator who called himself Jin Yangzi. This person was a fourth-level alchemist. He came from the inland to hunt green clam beasts, but was besieged by many fourth-level monsters. He was seriously injured and died. He deliberately left behind the inheritance so that someone with a destiny could inherit his mantle.
The inheritance stone records a variety of elixir recipes, as well as a set of exercises that can be cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Stage called "The Golden Yang Treasure Book". In addition, it also records Jin Yangzi's life.
"The cave of a Divine Transformation cultivator?"
Han Changming was a little surprised. Jin Yangzi discovered an ancient cultivator's cave in the Qingha Islands. It was very likely the cave where a Jin Yangzi had attained enlightenment. However, he was unable to break the restriction. He planned to invite other Nascent Soul cultivators to break the restriction together. On the way, he was besieged by several fourth-order monsters and was seriously injured and died.
Not only are there dozens of pill recipes, but there is also a cave of a Divine Transformation cultivator. Is this a pie in the sky
If there was only the recipe for the elixir, Han Changming would not have doubted it. However, considering the cave where the Divine Transformation cultivator had passed away, he couldn't help but have some doubts.
This is such a coincidence, so coincidental that it makes people suspicious.
Could this be a trap? Did He Yang collude with outsiders to murder him? If so, who was it? He had no conflict with the Nascent Soul cultivators of Qingha City, nor did he have any conflict of interest with other forces.
Could it be that the other party was an enemy of Ziyun Tower? Because he helped Ziyun Tower refine the elixir, the enemy of Ziyun Tower set a trap to murder Han Changming? That shouldn't be the case!
It seems that he must meet with Old Man Xuan Ya and talk things out face to face. As for the ancient cultivator's cave, he has no plans to go treasure hunting for the time being and will wait until he has found out the truth.
He took out the communication disk, contacted Wang Ning, and asked, "Wang Ning, have you heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator named Jin Yangzi?"
"Jin Yangzi? I have read about him in the classics. He was active more than 10,000 years ago and was a fourth-rank alchemist. He later disappeared inexplicably. These are what I read in the classics and may not be accurate."
Wang Ning reported truthfully, but the classics were not necessarily true and sometimes contained mistakes.
"Please sort out the books related to Jin Yangzi and send them to me for a look."
Han Changming ordered.
"Yes, sir, I'll send it over right away after I've sorted it out."
Wang Ning agreed readily.
"By the way, has anything big happened in Qingha City recently?"
Han Changming asked casually.
"The people from the Black Crow Sect seem to be looking for someone. In the past few days, a large number of Black Crow Sect monks have appeared in Qinghe City. They are quite active."
Han Changming thought for a moment and instructed, "Find an opportunity to contact the Xuan Ya Sect monks and find out the inside story."
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Han Changming put away the communication disk and looked thoughtful.
There are dozens of pill recipes recorded on the inheritance stone, including eight fourth-level pill recipes. Han Changming found that some of the materials are already rare, and he doesn't know if he can get them all together.
At this time, Sun Ming had already returned.
Han Changming took out a jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows. The jade slip lit up with a dazzling light and then dimmed.
"Sun Ming, go to Ziyun Tower and tell Madam Li to collect all these spiritual medicines for me as soon as possible. I need them urgently."
Han Changming gave the order, asking Li Yunlan to help collect elixirs.
If the elixir can be refined, the contents recorded in the inheritance stone will be more credible.
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Sun Ming took the jade slip with both hands and left after receiving the order.

In a secluded courtyard, Wang Hong was talking to a tall and thin old man in a green robe.
"That cave was discovered by He Yang in advance, and the Xuan Ya Sect monks arrived a step later. I don't know who has the inheritance stone."
Wang Hong frowned and said that they had set up a trap to kill some high-level cultivators. They originally wanted to lure the cultivators of Xuan Ya Sect, but they didn't expect that He Yang discovered the ancient cultivator's cave by accident.
"It doesn't matter who gets the inheritance stone. I have made several preparations. Whoever goes looking for the treasure is seeking death."
The old man in green robe said in a deep voice, his face full of murderous intent.
Wang Hong shuddered. He suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously, "Senior Li, I hope you can fulfill your promise after this is done."
"Don't worry, I will keep my word. If you work hard for me, I will help you and your wife to have a baby. If you dare to betray me, your partner will definitely die."
The old man in green robe said coldly.
Wang Hong nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Senior Li, I know what to do."
The old man in green robe nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and let Wang Hong leave.
······
Xuan Ya Island is the headquarters of Xuan Ya Sect. The mountains on the island are majestic and peaked, the valleys are deep and the forests are dense. There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and flocks of birds and beasts.
In the northwest of the island, there is a steep green mountain with a magnificent golden palace on the top. On the plaque are three large characters "Xuan Ya Palace", which are shining and very eye-catching.
In the main hall, old man Xuan Ya sat on the main seat, and Chen Yingying sat beside him.
Song Qingyun was reporting the situation to Old Man Xuan Ya with a serious expression.
"What? They went to look for Fellow Daoist Han? Are you serious now?"
Old Man Xuan Ya asked with a frown.
Song Qingyun nodded and said, "It is absolutely true. Many disciples have seen it. The inheritance stone is probably in the hands of Senior Han. Fortunately, it is Senior Han. If it is Senior Lu, it would be troublesome."
"Humph, it's hard for them to even meet Daoist Brother Lu. Even if they do meet him, Daoist Brother Lu may not help them."
Old Man Xuan Ya said disapprovingly.
"My dear, should we send someone to contact Fellow Daoist Han and explain the situation to him? He doesn't have any supporters in Qinghe City, so he shouldn't go against us!"
Chen Yingying suggested.
"No backer? That's just on the surface. As far as I know, he has some friendship with the Seventh Miss of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. Fellow Daoist Li of the Hundred Beasts Building told me about this. Otherwise, why would Lu Feng and the others want to befriend him? Of course, Fellow Daoist Han's alchemy skills are indeed not low, which is recognized by veteran alchemists such as Fairy Baihua."
Old Man Xuan Ya spoke slowly, frowning.
Han Changming was implicated in this matter, which made things difficult.
Putting aside the friendship between Han Changming and the Seventh Miss of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance, Han Changming's alchemy skills are not low. There is no need to make enemies with Han Changming. Who knows, one day they will ask Han Changming for help.
