Han Changming waved his hand, and Sun Sisi tactfully withdrew.
Han Changming picked up the teapot, poured tea for Wang Changyang and Yang Qing, and said politely: "Friend Wang, Fairy Yang, please have some tea."
Wang Changyang and ** Qing were not polite and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It's good tea, but it's still a little different from our Wang family's Jin'er tea. Fellow Daoist Han might as well try Jin'er tea."
Wang Changyang took out a can of exquisite tea and handed it to Han Changming.
"Jin'er tea? I'd really like to try it."
Han Changming smiled slightly and accepted the can of tea.
Wang Changyang was trying to show goodwill, so Han Changming naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Our wedding will be in five years. If you are free, why not go to Jinlong Mountain and have a drink?"
Wang Changyang took out a gold-lacquered invitation and handed it to Han Changming with both hands.
"Okay, then Han will come to ask for a drink."
Han Changming agreed readily. According to his original plan, he wanted to improve his strength and alchemy skills before looking for Ye Xin and Ye Xue. After all, Zhongtian Continent is too big and there are so many people, so it is not easy to find Ye Xin and Ye Xue.
He didn't have many acquaintances in Zhongtian Continent. Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Yuefeng might still be in the open sea. If he visited them rashly, the Nangong family might not pay any attention to him.
This time, I attended Yang Qinglong’s birthday party and unexpectedly met Wang Changyang, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.
He and Wang Changyang were not close friends, so it was not easy for him to ask Wang Changyang to help find Ye Xin and Ye Xue immediately.
Wang Changyang did not ask about Han Changming's background. After chatting for a while, they said goodbye and left.
After seeing off Wang Changyang and ** Qing, Han Changming called He Yang and Chen Yao.
"From today on, you will work under me. I have something to tell you first. First, loyalty is more important than ability. I don't like betrayal. If you want to betray me, you should think about the price. Second, when you work beside me in the future, you must keep your mouth shut. I don't want what I say to you to be heard by others. Third, as long as you work hard for me, when you cultivate to the great perfection of the Jindan stage, I can give you the infant spirit object."
Han Changming said slowly.
He Yang and Chen Yao were delighted. They knelt on one knee and said in unison: "We are willing to serve Senior Han."
There are many Jindan stage cultivators in the Qingha Islands. How many people would envy them for being able to become a disciple of a fourth-rank alchemist. Before this, there were also Yuanying cultivators who extended an olive branch.
He Yang and Chen Yao knew their own limitations and knew that they would not be taken seriously if they joined the old sect. It would be like having another backer, which was equivalent to having a high-level thug. But it was different if they joined Han Changming's sect. A fourth-level alchemist was far from being comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
Han Changming shook his sleeves, and an invisible force lifted up He Yang and Chen Yao.
"You will be my people from now on. You can do things under my banner, but don't be too ostentatious. This bottle of Jinlu Dan is a reward for you."
Han Changming took out a green porcelain bottle and threw it to He Yang.
He Yang thanked him repeatedly and accepted the green porcelain bottle.
"Don't run around, stay here and practice! I'll tell you to do something if there's anything else."
Han Changming gave some instructions, then stood up and walked out.
A team of Yang family monks was guarding outside, led by Yang Yubin.
"Senior Han, what can I do for you?"
Yang Yubin saw Han Changming and spoke politely.
"Where does Brother Yang live? I want to go visit Brother Yang."
Han Changming asked in a friendly manner. When he came to Yuding Island, he naturally had to visit Yang Qinglong to deepen their relationship.
When you are on someone else's territory, you should take the initiative to visit them. This is courtesy.
"Senior Han, please follow me."
Yang Yubin turned into a beam of light and flew high into the sky, with Han Changming following closely behind.
Not long after, they appeared above a crimson mountain, on which grew a large number of fire bamboos, ranging in age from a hundred to a thousand years.
The top of the mountain was covered by a sea of white fog, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
Just as Yang Yubin was about to send a message, the white fog sea rolled violently and Yang Qinglong flew out of it with a sincere smile on his face.
He seemed to have expected Han Changming to come and visit. He waved his hand and said, "Yubin, please leave! I will personally entertain Fellow Daoist Han."
Yang Yubin responded and turned to leave.
"Friend Han, please."
Yang Qinglong made a gesture of invitation, and Han Changming did not hesitate to fly towards the white sea of fog.
The white sea of fog seemed to sense something. Wherever Han Changming went, the white sea of fog suddenly rolled and made way.
A red-tiled manor covering an area of ten thousand acres appeared in front of him. The trees and stones in the manor were all red. Black cranes and monkeys could be seen, as well as a red peach forest. The air was filled with a strong fruity fragrance.
A red dragon over a hundred feet long stands in a huge lake. Upon closer inspection, the red dragon is carved from a huge piece of volcanic rock and looks lifelike.
On the head of the red dragon stands a magnificent golden palace, with three big red characters "Red Dragon Palace" inscribed on a plaque.
The eyes of the red dragon are two round beads with shining blue light. The round beads are shining with spiritual light, and they are obviously magical weapons. The blue light gathers towards the eyes of the red dragon, and turns into a pool of clear water, falling into the lake. The lake is connected in all directions, running through the entire manor.
The lake water was bubbling from time to time, as if it were boiling, and a large white mist was floating on the surface of the lake.
Hundreds of red spirit fish swam around in the lake, making the surface of the lake sparkle.
"Friend Yang, your residence is quite unique."
Han Changming praised. If he guessed correctly, the lake was a huge hot spring. Part of the evaporated water vapor would gather in the red dragon's eyes, then cool and fall into the hot spring. Most of the water vapor would be used to set up the formation.
Not all cultivators in the world of immortals practice asceticism. When they have reached a certain level of cultivation, many of them will begin to covet enjoyment, marry wives and concubines, recruit disciples and build up their power. This is also normal. After practicing asceticism for so many years, can't they enjoy themselves
"It's just pleasing to the eye, but it's useless."
Yang Qinglong smiled indifferently and flew towards the Chijiao Palace with Han Changming.
Entering the Chijiao Palace, the hall is spacious and bright. The floor tiles are paved with some kind of red jade. Runes are faintly flashing. There are exquisite murals carved on the stone walls. The fire spirit here is abundant.
If you practice here, your practice speed will be much faster.
There were many red jade chairs placed in the hall. Yang Qinglong randomly found a jade chair and sat down, then took out a set of exquisite red tea sets and a red teapot.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please take a seat and have a taste of our Yuding Island's exclusive spiritual tea, Chiyan Tea. Only the tender buds of Chiyan tea trees that are more than a thousand years old can be used to stir-fry tea leaves. Drinking it regularly will help expand your body's meridians."
As Yang Qinglong spoke, he opened the tea can, took out a handful of shiny red tea leaves, cleaned the tea set and made tea.
Soon, a pot of fragrant spiritual tea was brewed.
Yang Qinglong poured a cup for Han Changming, and Han Changming picked up the cup and took a sip.
As soon as the tea went down his throat, a hot air rose in his body and spread to his limbs and bones, as if a ball of fire was running rampant in his body.
Wherever the hot air passed, the meridians felt a dull pain and seemed about to burst.
After several cycles, the pain disappeared and Han Changming felt indescribably comfortable all over.
"Good tea, good tea."
Han Changming praised repeatedly and drank up the tea in the cup.
Yang Qinglong picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Han Changming.
Han Changming was not polite and drank up the tea. After a few cups of tea were poured, they started chatting.
Most of them were polite words and attempts to establish friendship, after all, they were not familiar with each other before.
"Friend Yang, I want to open a medicine store, mainly selling third-level and fourth-level medicines. I'm new here and there are many things I don't understand. Can you give me some pointers?"
Han Changming said politely that in fact, Sun Ming had already found a shop and could open it at any time.
There are many medicine shops in Qingha City, but not many of them sell top-grade medicines. As long as Han Changming does not sell large quantities of top-grade medicines and raises the purchasing conditions, it will not arouse public anger.
According to his original plan, he wanted to open an alchemy shop to facilitate the collection of resources for cultivating immortals. However, going to find the resources for cultivating immortals by yourself and having immortal cultivators come to him with the resources are two different things.
The Yang family and the Wang family are getting married, and Han Changming plans to change the plan and bring the Yang family in. Business doesn't matter, he just wants to find a reason to strengthen the relationship.
If there are common interests, it is difficult to have a bad relationship; if there are conflicts of interest, it is difficult to have a good relationship.
"Oh, didn't Mr. Han find a partner?"
Yang Qinglong asked seemingly casually.
Han Changming sighed and said, "I'm new here, and I don't know many Taoist friends. Who would be willing to cooperate with me to open an elixir shop? To be honest, if I could have a partner, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
He was just testing the waters. As long as Yang Qinglong was not stupid, he would be able to understand the hidden meaning behind his words.
"The location of the medicine store must be well chosen. Even good wine needs to be well known if it is not well known. In addition, there must be enough publicity. The supply of raw materials is also a problem."
Yang Qinglong said slowly, he looked at Han Changming, changed his tone, and continued: "What a coincidence, our Yang family also wants to open a pill shop, we are short of a fourth-level alchemist with rich alchemy skills, is Fellow Daoist Han willing to cooperate with our Yang family?"
Yang Qinglong's face was full of anticipation. The Yang family passed down the art of refining equipment, and elixirs have always been their weak point. Even if the Yang family invested a lot of resources in cultivating immortals, they were unable to cultivate a fourth-level alchemist.
The Yang family nominally has six Nascent Soul cultivators, but in reality there are eight. Four of them are weapon refiners, one is a formation master, and the remaining three do not know how to refine weapons, make pills, create talismans, or set up formations.
If there were enough resources for cultivating immortals, fourth-level alchemists could be trained. The major forces would have already trained fourth-level alchemists in large numbers.
Han Changming's alchemy skills are not low, but his disadvantage is that he is weak and has no foundation. The cooperation between the Yang family and Han Changming is a win-win situation. Yang Qinglong hopes to take this opportunity to ask Han Changming to help train a fourth-level alchemist.
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"
Han Changming showed an interested expression on his face. He wanted to cooperate with the Yang family so that he could quickly expand his power and influence, and also take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Wang family.
"Our Yang family provides the raw materials, and Fellow Daoist Han will make the pills. You can make as much as you want, minus the cost. If there is a loss, our Yang family will be fully responsible. If there is a profit, Fellow Daoist Han will get 90% and our Yang family will get 10%."
Yang Qinglong said slowly that even if the profit was only 10%, the Yang family would not lose anything.
Han Changming's eyes flashed fiercely, and he thought to himself: "What a courage! No wonder the Yang family has been able to develop to this day."
The conditions offered by Yang Qinglong were so generous that it was difficult to refuse.
"Since it's a collaboration, let's split it 50-50!"
Han Changming said politely that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and making friends with the Yang family is the most important thing.
He opened the medicine shop mainly to collect resources for cultivating immortals. With the Yang family as a partner, he can borrow the power of the Yang family to collect resources for cultivating immortals, saving time and effort.
"Fellow Daoist Han is too polite. We are only responsible for collecting raw materials, so how can we take 50%? How about this! 20-80, you take 80%, and our Yang family takes 20%. We will send two Jindan cultivators to help refine the pills. If you are free, you can give them some pointers."
Yang Qinglong said sincerely.
Han Changming suddenly realized that Yang Qinglong made such a big concession because he wanted him to guide the Yang family's alchemist. There was nothing wrong with this.
"Friend Yang, I see that you are a straightforward person, so let's split it up! We will each send some people, and I will teach your people how to make pills. If you accept me as your friend, it's settled."
Han Changming's face was serious. As an outsider, he dared not take too much advantage. There was no need to lose the big picture for the small one.
"Okay, that's it! Fellow Daoist Han, I wish our business will prosper."
Yang Qinglong agreed. He didn't care about that little bit of spirit stones. There were many benefits to being friends with Han Changming.
Han Changming smiled slightly, picked up his teacup and clinked it with Yang Qinglong's, saying with a smile: "Congratulations on our prosperous business."
"Friend Han, what's the name of the medicine store? Please give it a name!"
Yang Qinglong's tone was warm and friendly.
"Let's call it Qianyang Pavilion!"
Han Changming pondered for a moment, then spoke. He remembered something and said, "Friend Yang, I have a small matter for you to help me with."
"Fellow Daoist Han, please feel free to speak up. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
Yang Qinglong said, patting his chest.
"I want to find three people. Here are their portraits. If you find them, just tell me their location. Don't alarm them."
Han Changming took out three jade slips of different colors and handed them to Yang Qinglong.
The jade slip recorded the portraits of three monks. Han Changming drew them casually and they were rather rough. He didn't even know whether these three people were there.
He and Yang Qinglong were not close friends and their trust in each other was limited, so naturally he would not ask them to help find Ye Xin and Ye Xue as soon as he arrived.
This time it is a maze. After a while, he will ask the Yang family to help find Ye Xin and Ye Xue. That will be much better. True or false, the Yang family doesn't know whether Han Changming is looking for an enemy or a friend anyway.
Yang Qinglong took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and asked, "Are they active in the Qingha Islands?"
"Not sure, maybe there, maybe not."
Han Changming shook his head and said.
"No problem. I will tell the people below to keep an eye out. If they find them, notify Fellow Daoist Han immediately."
Yang Qinglong agreed. He was tactful and did not ask Han Changming whether he was looking for a friend or a benefactor.
He was not afraid that Han Changming would ask for something, but he was afraid that Han Changming would not ask for anything.
Han Changming asked the Yang family for help, so naturally he had to teach the Yang family cultivators how to make pills.
"Thank you very much, Brother Yang."
Han Changming thanked him and they drank tea and chatted.
Half an hour later, Han Changming said goodbye and returned to his residence.
