Sun Ming looked like he was reminiscing. He thought for a moment and said, "The Yang family is famous in the Qingha Islands for its weapon refining. It has a long tradition and has a lot of say in the Qingha Islands. The Yang family's caravan also goes to Zhongtian Continent to do business. On the surface, there are five Nascent Soul cultivators, but in reality there may be more."
"The one with the highest cultivation is Yang Qinglong, who has reached the late Nascent Soul stage. However, he formed his Nascent Soul very early and rarely shows up. This time he is holding a 900th birthday banquet and inviting people all over. This is rare. I guess he has something important to announce!"
Han Changming nodded. He thought so too. Generally speaking, the major forces would not hold celebrations or birthdays casually. Usually, there would be important news announced, which would be conducive to the spread of news.
"You should pay more attention to the situation of the Yang family. Ask Wang Ning to find out about Yang Qinglong's preferences and personality. Collect the information about the Yang family and have her send it to you immediately."
Han Changming gave the order. He wanted to know more about the Yang family so that it would be easier for him to deal with the Yang family cultivators.
Sun Ming hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Boss, why don't you let me handle this matter? I will definitely handle it well."
Han Changming shook his head and said, "You are not suitable, let Wang Ning do it!"
Sun Ming's mind is not as delicate as Wang Ning's. He is better at dealing with people. After all, he has been a guide before and is not good at gathering information. Wang Ning knows how to draw inferences from one example, so Han Changming feels more at ease.
A look of disappointment appeared on Sun Ming's face. He wanted to do more so that he could feel more down-to-earth.
He was not afraid of Han Changming asking him to do things, but he was afraid that Han Changming would not let him do things.
"I have other things for you to do. Leave the gathering of information to Wang Ning!"
Han Changming smiled and said that he was very happy that Sun Ming took the initiative to find things to do, but he was afraid that his subordinates would be lazy and cunning.
"Please tell me, shopkeeper. I will try my best to do it well."
Sun Ming said seriously with a serious look.
"Go and negotiate with the people at the Market Management Office. I want to rent a better storefront and open a pill shop. You can assign tasks to the people you find. I trust you, so do your job well. I won't mistreat my people, and it won't be a problem for me to help you form pills."
Han Changming's voice was full of temptation. Sun Ming's cultivation was too low, so he could only do some errands and had no contact with high-level cultivators. He intended to train Sun Ming.
The subordinates trained personally are relatively reliable. If his clan members were around, Han Changming would not have to train Sun Ming.
If Sun Ming could cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building, Han Changming could give him two spiritual objects for forming elixir to help him form elixir. As for whether he could advance to the elixir forming stage, it depended on Sun Ming's own luck.
"Thank you, boss. I will do my best to do the job."
Sun Ming looked excited and spoke in a trembling voice.
Han Changming waved his hand and asked Sun Ming to leave.
Sun Ming bowed, turned and left.
······
Qingyuan Mountain, Qinghu Pavilion.
On the third floor, Ye Xue was entertaining Chen Tianya.
"Shopkeeper Ye, the set of talismans from your Qinghu Pavilion is better. If I hadn't bought a set of defensive talismans this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
When Chen Tianya finished speaking, an expression of lingering fear appeared on his face.
After decades of development, thanks to Ye Xue's superb talisman-making skills and the gimmick of the sisters, Qinghu Pavilion became well-known in Qingyuan Mountain. Many high-level cultivators knew that the two shopkeepers of Qinghu Pavilion were sisters, which attracted many lustful men.
"You get what you pay for. The sets of talismans sold by our Qinghu Pavilion are relatively expensive, but they are worth the money. If you think they are good, please introduce a few more customers to us."
Ye Xue said with a smile that over the years, after a lot of practice, her talisman-making skills had improved a lot and she was awarded the title of Jade Talisman Fairy.
Chen Tianya hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Shopkeeper Ye, I have gathered a few Taoist friends for a party. All of the participants make a living by hunting monsters, so there is a great demand for talismans. If you are free, why not join our party? I will introduce you to a few Taoist friends."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xueliu frowned and refused directly: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Chen, I have something to do and can't leave. Let's do it next time!"
Ye Xue and Ye Xin are both good-looking and sisters, which attracts many admirers. However, they never attend any private gatherings and stay at home, making them difficult to figure out.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and never attended private gatherings. However, their identities as sisters still attracted the covetousness of many high-level cultivators, including Qian Feng, the descendant of Master Qian Feng.
It is well known that Qian Feng is a playboy and has many wives and concubines. If it were not for Master Qian Feng's sake, Ye Xue would not want to bother with Qian Feng.
Chen Tianya was a little disappointed and nodded, "That's a pity. I have something else to do. I'll leave now."
He was not coveting the beauty of Ye Xin and Ye Xue, he just simply wanted to get closer to them. However, it was well known that Ye Xin and Ye Xue never attended parties.
"Take care, Mr. Chen. I'll come back next time."
Ye Xue stood up to see him off.
When Chen Tianya walked down the stairs, a burly young man in red came towards him.
The young man in red has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. He wears a red jade crown on his head, a white jade belt around his waist, and holds a red folding fan in his hand. He looks like a handsome young man.
True Man Qianfeng was born as a casual cultivator. He established the Qianfeng Society in the late Jindan stage and is currently in the early Yuanying stage. Qian Feng is the descendant of True Man Qianfeng, and he is a well-known playboy in Qingyuan Mountain.
When Chen Tianya saw Qian Feng, he automatically stepped aside. Qian Feng showed an approval look on his face. He gently fanned his folding fan and walked past Chen Tianya with a swagger.
"You prodigal son, sooner or later Master Qianfeng will be killed by you, idiot."
Chen Tianya thought secretly in his heart, if it weren’t for the support of the Nascent Soul cultivator, with Qian Feng’s style of doing things, he would have been killed long ago, and he would not have survived until today.
He looked back at Ye Xue and thought to himself, "I'm afraid one flower, no, two flowers will be stuck in cow dung."
He shook his head, it had nothing to do with him, and strode away.
"Shopkeeper Ye, long time no see."
Qian Feng said with a smile, his face full of confidence.
After Zhenren Qianfeng had a baby, he married many wives and concubines and took elixirs to give birth to Qianfeng. He held him in his hands since he was a child and spoiled him.
Qian Feng followed suit and became a playboy. With the support of Zhenren Qianfeng, Qian Feng married a female cultivator from the Li family who had reached the Jindan stage as his Taoist partner. The Li family had two Yuanying stage cultivators.
When the Li family was prosperous, Qian Feng was still a little cautious and did not dare to act recklessly.
Decades ago, two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Li family died one after another at the hands of powerful enemies. The Li family’s Nascent Soul cultivator has not shown up for a long time, which confirmed the news.
His father-in-law's family fell into decline, and Taoist Qianfeng took the opportunity to occupy many of Li's properties. Qianfeng also did not take his Taoist partner seriously, and had affairs with other women. For the sake of family inheritance, his Taoist partner could only swallow his anger.
How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers? After the decline of the Li family, Qian Feng completely let himself go, married a large number of wives and concubines, and took a female cultivator in the Jindan stage as a concubine. By chance, he met Ye Xin and Ye Xue, and learned that they were sisters.
This aroused Qian Feng's interest. He had two sisters among his concubines, but they were in the foundation-building stage and were just vases, pretty but not talented. Ye Xin and Ye Xue were both pretty and talented, and they were sisters, which aroused his interest.
Over the years, he has tried to get close to Ye Xue, but Ye Xue never gave him a good look, not to mention Ye Xin.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, I told you I'm busy, please go back!"
Ye Xue frowned and said, a hint of disgust flashing across the depths of her eyes.
Since Han Changming was not around, they naturally would not get entangled with other male cultivators, let alone a playboy like Qian Feng. Even a fool would know that his motives were not pure.
Qian Feng chuckled, revealing a sincere smile, and took out a light golden invitation, handed it to Ye Xue, and said proudly: "My father is celebrating his 500th birthday, and I have invited many senior Taoist friends to attend, even Yu Ding San Ren is attending. Shopkeeper Ye will not refuse to show his respect, right?"
Qingyuan Mountain was jointly established and managed by multiple forces, and Yuding Sanren was one of the senior executives.
Ye Xue frowned. Master Qianfeng was celebrating his 500th birthday and Qian Feng had sent the invitation to his door. If she didn't go, it would be disrespecting Master Qianfeng and her life would be difficult in the future.
"Since it is Senior Qian's 500th birthday, we must be there on time."
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and as soon as the voice fell, Ye Xin walked up.
Ye Xue and Ye Xin opened Qinghu Pavilion together. Ye Xue was responsible for refining third-level talismans, which was quite hard work. Ye Xin was relatively relaxed and had plenty of time to practice.
After decades of hard training, Ye Xin has reached the late stage of Jindan.
When Qian Feng saw Ye Xin, his smile deepened and he said, "It's been many years since we last met. Shopkeeper Ye has advanced to the late stage of Jindan. Congratulations!"
Ye Xin and Ye Xue have opposite personalities, one cold and one hot. Qian Feng has always fantasized about getting them into bed and conquering them.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, you are too polite. We will attend the birthday party of Master Qianfeng on time. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back! We have things to take care of."
Ye Xin's tone was indifferent, as if she was keeping people at a distance.
Qian Feng was not angry either, he smiled and said: "Then I will be waiting for you two to come."
After saying this, Qian Feng turned and left.
"Sister, why did you agree to him? Find a reasonable reason to refuse. I don't believe that Master Qianfeng will do anything reckless. We haven't violated the management regulations of the market. We are operating with integrity. At worst, we can just leave this place."
Ye Xue frowned and said that she felt sick when she saw Qian Feng. After the Li family fell into decline, Qian Feng took concubines on a large scale, and his methods were not glorious. However, Qian Feng only bullied cultivators with no background, so no one came to settle accounts with him.
"It's better to strike with one blow than to strike back with a hundred. Some things are unavoidable. We can take this opportunity to tell others that we already have a Taoist partner, so that Qian Feng will give up that idea. We can still guarantee our safety in the market, but it's hard to say if we leave the market."
Ye Xin said at the end, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
After hundreds of years of development, the Qianfeng Society now has more than forty Jindan cultivators and two Yuanying cultivators. They are not people they can afford to provoke.
As long as they stayed in the market, Qian Feng wouldn't dare to do anything wrong, but if they left the market, it would be hard to say what would happen.
Ye Xue sighed and said, "Even if we tell him we have a Taoist partner, Qian Feng may not give up. I'm just afraid that he will make things difficult for us during Master Qian Feng's birthday celebration."
Qian Feng has been to Qinghu Pavilion many times in recent years and invited Ye Xin and Ye Xue to visit him for various reasons, but they refused every time.
Qian Feng must be very angry. This time when Master Qianfeng is celebrating his birthday, Qian Feng will definitely cause trouble for them. It is impossible for him to let them just drink a few glasses of wine and leave.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Ye Xin was full of confidence. She thought of something and sighed, "It would be great if my husband was with us. I wonder how he is doing now."
"My husband's alchemy skills are quite high and his strength is not weak. He should be fine. Maybe he has already formed a fetus."
Ye Xue said with a smile that she had full confidence in Han Changming.
“Nascent Soul!”
Ye Xin nodded thoughtfully, as if she had thought of something. Ye Xue and Ye Xin opened the Qinghu Pavilion together. Ye Xue was responsible for refining the third-level talismans, which was quite hard work. Ye Xin was relatively relaxed and had a lot of time to practice.

Ye Xin nodded thoughtfully, as if she had thought of something.
