"This place is pretty good, let's go here! Thank you for troubling Brother Yang."
Han Changming said sincerely.
"It's not a big deal. It's just a piece of cake. If you need anything, just tell us and we'll do it for you."
After saying this, Yang Yuanheng turned and left.
Sun Ming and the other two looked excited. Han Changming was shining. The head of the Yang family personally arranged accommodation for him. This showed that the Yang family valued Han Changming. The more capable Han Changming was, the more they would benefit.
He Yang and Chen Yao had complicated expressions. If they were Han Changming's men, they would not have to be afraid of old man Xuan Ya.
The manor has seven independent courtyards. Han Changming lives in the main courtyard, and Sun Ming and four others live in the courtyard next to the main courtyard.
After closing the door, Han Changming flicked his wrist and a white light flew out from the storage ring. It was actually a white inner armor with a lot of pale white scales inlaid on it. Runes were flashing and the spiritual energy was amazing.
The fire-proof armor is made of the silk of the fourth-level blue-eyed cold silkworm as the main material. It is a top-grade defensive magic weapon.
Han Changming placed his palm on the fire-proof armor and felt a coolness.
The Yang family is famous in the Qingha Islands for their weapon-refining skills. The defensive capabilities of this fire-proof armor are likely to be much better than any other defensive magic weapon on the market.
Han Changming threw the fire-proof armor into the air, cast several spells on it, and began to refine the treasure.
······
In a quiet manor and a green stone pavilion on the lake, Yang Qinglong, Wang Changyang and ** Qing were drinking tea and chatting.
"Grandfather, if that's the case, this person seems like a disciple sent out by a powerful force to gain experience."
**Qing had a thoughtful expression on his face. Han Changming's spiritual bird was extraordinary, as it was able to defeat Wang Changyang's black phoenix.
"Changyang, you are well-informed, can you guess his origins?"
Yang Qinglong looked at Wang Changyang and asked.
"As far as I know, the guardian bird of the Thousand Birds Sect is a Golden Flame Crow with the blood of the Golden Crow, but I have never seen it. This Daoist Fellow Han may be related to the Thousand Birds Sect. Of course, it is possible that he was lucky and got it from some ruins or forbidden area. But no matter what, this person's alchemy skills are not low, and he is worth making friends with."
Wang Changyang said in a deep voice that strength is respected in the world of immortal cultivation, and Han Changming's alchemy skills alone make him worthy of close friendship.
"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Lu is not coming, otherwise I would really like to make friends with him. With Fellow Daoist Lu's alchemy level, he will definitely attend the All-Spirit Conference."
Wang Changyang said this in a regretful tone, his face full of regret.
"No problem. You can stay in the Qingha Islands for a while. Once Daoist Brother Lu comes out of seclusion, I will introduce you to him immediately."
Yang Qinglong's tone was warm. Wang Changyang had followed his elders to visit various major forces since he was a child. There were not many cultivators who could catch his eye. Lu Feng was the first fourth-level alchemist in Qingha Islands, and Wang Changyang really wanted to make friends with him. If it weren't for getting to know Lu Feng, Wang Changyang would have left long ago.
"No, my father asked me to go back to take care of an urgent matter. I will come to pick you up in person after a while."
Wang Changyang said solemnly.
Yang Qinglong did not force it. He did not know the internal situation of the Wang family. Immortal cultivation families were not all harmonious and there would be conflicts as well.
······
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Sun Ming, Sun Sisi and Wang Ning appeared at the gate of the main courtyard without saying a word.
There is a three-story cyan stone building in the main courtyard. Next to the building is a cyan stone pavilion with a cyan stone table and several cyan stone benches in it.
The door opened and Han Changming walked out with a big smile on his face.
He was in a very good mood after obtaining a fourth-level puppet beast and a top-grade defensive magic weapon.
"Sun Ming, go call He Yang and his wife over. I have something to say to them."
Han Changming gave the order and walked into the green stone pavilion.
Sun Ming responded and turned to leave. Sun Sisi and Wang Ning came in, took out the tea set and started making tea.
Soon, a pot of fragrant tea was brewed, and Sun Sisi poured Han Changming a cup of steaming hot spiritual tea, the tea was green.
Han Changming picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He Yang and Chen Yao walked in, bowed, and said in unison: "Greetings, Senior Han."
"Friend Yang is also on Yuding Island. I will contact him later to help you resolve your grievances."
Han Changming spoke.
He Yang and Chen Yao were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude immediately.
"Senior, you are so kind, I have no way to repay you. If you don't mind, my husband and I are willing to serve you."
He Yang expressed his gratitude. He had always wanted to join the alliance, but he had never had the chance. This was a great opportunity, but he didn't know whether Han Changming was willing to accept them.
Before old man Xuan Ya founded his sect, he took in many disciples and subordinates, and gradually grew stronger.
"Oh, you want to join me?"
Han Changming pretended to be surprised. He was short of manpower now. Sun Ming and the other two had too low cultivation levels and limited abilities. They could not reach higher levels and collect rare resources.
He took the initiative to ask He Yang and his wife to join, which is different from He Yang himself asking to become his disciple.
"That's right. I hope Senior Han can help me."
He Yang said sincerely, his face full of anticipation.
Sun Ming walked in and said respectfully, "Shopkeeper, Senior Yang from Xuan Ya Sect is here to visit you. What do you think?"
He Yang and Chen Yao's faces tensed, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Please let them in!"
Han Changming ordered, he looked at He Yang and Chen Yao, and ordered: "You get up first! Whether to accept you depends on your performance. I will talk to Brother Yang to see what his attitude is. Don't say anything that shouldn't be said."
He Yang understood that Han Changming was referring to the inheritance stone, and agreed without hesitation.
He Yang and Chen Yao stood up and stood behind Han Changming.
Not long after, Sun Ming came in with seven monks.
"Friend Han, long time no see."
The old man Xuan Ya smiled slightly and said with a fist.
"I was just about to visit Daoist Fellow Yang, but I didn't expect that Daoist Fellow Yang would arrive first. Daoist Fellow Yang, Madam Yang, please take a seat."
Han Changming said politely, inviting Old Man Xuan Ya and Chen Yingying to sit down.
"All the same, all the same."
Old Man Xuan Ya said with a smile, looking at He Yang and Chen Yao.
"Friend Han, one of our disciples had a conflict with someone. I heard that person is at your residence. We brought him here specially this time so that we can talk things out."
Chen Yingying said with a smile.
A fat man in a black robe with a big belly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Junior Li Xuan pays homage to Senior Han. I discovered an ancient cultivator's cave, but I was too weak to do so, so I returned to the sect to report the news. Unexpectedly, someone got there first and injured me."
"He Yang, is this true?"
Han Changming asked in a deep voice.
He Yang stepped forward, nodded and said, "We accidentally discovered an ancient cultivator's cave. Daoist Li suddenly appeared and said that he was the one who discovered the ancient cultivator's cave. Naturally, we didn't believe it, so we argued and fought. I injured Daoist Li, but we were also injured."
"Huh, what did I teach you? You should think twice before you act. Why are you so impulsive?"
Han Changming scolded them bluntly. From what he said, it was clear that He Yang and his wife were his people.
He Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I was impulsive at the moment. I hope the shopkeeper will punish me."
Old Man Xuan Ya showed a surprised expression on his face and asked, "Are they Han Daoyou's men? This is because the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."
"I asked them to help collect resources for cultivation, but I didn't want them to use my name to show off, so they didn't tell anyone else. No matter what, they shouldn't have hurt Daoist Fellow Yang's disciples."
Han Changming's tone was heavy, and he looked like he was going to severely punish He Yang and his wife.
The old man smiled and said, "Friend Han, since they are your people, forget it. There is no need to affect our relationship because of the disputes of the younger generation. What do you think?"
From the very beginning, he had no intention of pursuing the matter. Han Changming acted as if he was going to severely punish He Yang, giving old man Xuan Ya enough face. Naturally, old man Xuan Ya would not really pursue the matter.
The same went for Han Changming. He was just putting on an act. He gave old man Xuan Ya enough face. Old man Xuan Ya's reaction was within his expectations.
"Friend Yang is right. No fight, no friendship. After you drink this cup of tea, all the previous grudges will be wiped out."
Han Changming poured two cups of tea and said in a deep voice.
He Yang and Li Xuan responded, took a step forward, picked up the teacup and drank all the tea.
"Friend Han, I have some private matters I want to discuss with you, what do you think?"
The old man Xuan Ya pretended to be mysterious.
Han Changming waved his hand, and He Yang and others left one after another. Only Han Changming, Old Man Xuan Ya and Chen Yingying were left in the green stone pavilion.
Chen Yingying raised her right hand, and a round bead shining with green light flew out. She entered a spell, and the green round bead spun around, releasing a thick green light curtain that covered the entire green stone pavilion.
Han Changming frowned, and his spiritual sense was blocked when it touched the green light curtain. Obviously, old man Xuan Ya had something important to discuss with him.
"Friend Han, the inheritance stone must be in your hands!"
Old Man Xuan Ya asked straight to the point.
"Yes."
Han Changming honestly admitted that Old Man Xuan Ya should have known about the existence of the inheritance stone a long time ago, and this trip was probably just for the inheritance stone.
Anyway, he has memorized the contents of the inheritance stone, so it’s okay to sell it to Old Man Xuan Ya.
"So, Fellow Daoist Han should know that ancient cultivator's cave!"
The old man Xuan Ya asked meaningfully.
"Ancient monk's cave? What ancient monk's cave?"
Han Changming pretended to be confused and pretended to be unaware of the situation.
The old man Xuan Ya took out a pale golden jade slip and handed it to Han Changming, saying, "This jade slip was obtained from Jin Yangzi's cave. It mentions the ancient cultivator's cave and restrictions, but it does not mention the location of the ancient cultivator's cave."
Han Changming frowned. He didn't expect that Jin Yangzi had this trick.
He picked up the jade slip and immersed his spiritual consciousness into it.
After a while, he withdrew his consciousness and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Judging from the contents of the jade slip, what Old Man Xuan Ya said was true, but he could not be sure whether Old Man Xuan Ya was deceiving him or not. After all, he did not go to look for the ancient cultivator's cave and did not know the situation of the restrictions.
"Friend Yang, what do you want to do?"
Han Changming pondered for a moment and asked.
"Let's work together to get the treasure. Once the treasure is unearthed, whoever sees it will get a share. What do you think?"
Old Man Xuan Ya said with a smile that if he hadn't known that Jin Yangzi had discovered an ancient cultivator's cave, he wouldn't have sent people to hunt down He Yang.
If Han Changming wanted to have the treasure all to himself, Old Man Xuan Ya would naturally not agree. At most, he would spread the news. If Han Changming was sensible, he would cooperate with him to get the treasure.
Do you want one more enemy or one more treasure
"I know the location of the ancient monk's cave, but how can I be sure that you know the restrictions of the ancient monk's cave? How do I know if you are deceiving me?"
Han Changming frowned and expressed his confusion.
"Everything I say is true. Fellow Daoist Han may not believe it, but once the news gets out, you can't eat alone. If you cooperate with others to get the treasure, you will get less. A good friend of mine has a spirit beast with magical powers that can break the ban. The three of us will work together to break the ban. You get 40% and the two of us get 30%. How do you think?"
Old Man Xuan Ya said sincerely.
Han Changming looked thoughtful. If old man Xuan Ya spread the news, someone would definitely believe it. By then, it would not be easy for him to get the treasure.
If I go treasure hunting with Old Man Xuan Ya, who knows if they will turn against each other afterwards
He is now in a dilemma. If he doesn't agree, there will be some troubles and an additional enemy, Old Man Xuan Ya. If he agrees, there is no guarantee that Old Man Xuan Ya will not kill people and steal treasures.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I know what you are worried about. You can invite a fellow Daoist and the four of us can go treasure hunting. You can take the extra portion and we can take the less portion. How do you think?"
Old Man Xuan Ya suggested that if he were Han Changming, he would not agree easily because this deal was too unprofitable.
"How about this! Let me think about it and give you an answer before leaving Yuding Island, how about that?"
Han Changming pondered for a moment and said this.
He knew many Nascent Soul cultivators, but not many of them he could trust. Treasure hunting was full of unknowns, and blessings and disasters were interdependent. In the face of huge interests, no one could guarantee what they said.
Last time, the meditation cave of a Divine Transformation cultivator, Xuan Guang Zhen Jun, was discovered, and several Nascent Soul cultivators fought against each other, and even rare treasures such as spiritual fire appeared.
"No problem, it's a deal."
Old Man Xuan Ya agreed. He was not worried about Han Changming cooperating with the Yang family.
Han Changming is an outsider cultivator. If he cooperates with the Yang family, he might be taken advantage of by the Yang family.
Chen Yingying's spell changed, the light of the blue round bead dimmed, and the blue light curtain disappeared.
The three of them drank tea and chatted.
Old Man Xuan Ya tried to inquire about Han Changming's background indirectly, but Han Changming evaded the question.
Sun Ming walked in, looking anxious, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Sun Ming, what happened?"
Han Changming asked.
"Shopkeeper, Senior Wang and Senior Yang are here to visit."
Sun Ming said truthfully that it was rare for Wang Changyang and ** Qing to visit in person.
"Friend Han, we have other things to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."
Old Man Xuan Ya was very tactful. He stood up, said goodbye, and left with Chen Yingying.
Han Changming did not dare to be negligent and went out to greet him in person.
** Qing and Wang Changyang were standing at the door. Seeing Han Changming, Wang Changyang smiled and greeted him, saying, "Friend Han, I hope I didn't disturb you!"
"No, if you didn't come, I would have visited you later."
Han Changming said politely and invited them in.
The three of them came to the green stone pavilion. Sun Sisi had already changed a set of tea sets and brewed a new pot of spiritual tea.
