Han Changming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He thought there would be a fierce battle.
"Fang Daoyou, this is a fifth-level monster, how about it?"
The old man in red robe sent a message to Master Baishou, saying that if the three of them joined forces, they might be able to capture this fifth-level monster and make a fortune.
"Forget it, it's better to have less trouble than more. This is its territory. If we fight to the death, we may not gain any advantage."
The Master of a Hundred Beasts rejected this proposal. A fifth-level monster is full of treasures, but it is not easy to mess with. This is the lair of the fifth-level monster. If a fight really breaks out, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.
"No matter what, I have fulfilled my agreement. I hope that Fellow Daoist Fang will fulfill his promise."
The young woman in the green skirt said in a deep voice that her trip with the Master of Hundred Beasts was not in vain, and she would be rewarded regardless of whether she attacked the fifth-level monster or not.
"Don't worry, Madam Lin. I will definitely do what I promised you. Now that the matter has been resolved, let's go back!"
Master Baishou said this with a solemn oath.
Han Changming felt heavy-hearted after listening to their conversation.
He used a ball of fourth-order spiritual flame to summon the True Man of a Hundred Beasts. How much would it cost the True Man of a Hundred Beasts to summon two Divine Transformation cultivators
He didn't believe that Master Baishou was so kind as to mobilize two Divine Transformation monks for a ball of fourth-level spiritual flame.
Han Changming was grateful for the help of Master Baishou, but also a little wary.
The young woman in green skirt pinched her fingers and the giant silver python let out a strange hissing sound, then turned into a beam of silver light and flew towards the distant sky at an extremely fast speed.

Off the coast, Ziyue Island.
In the meeting room, Han Zhangxiang sat in the main seat with a smile on his face.
Han Benfu and others sat on chairs on both sides with respectful expressions.
Han Zhangxiang has entered the Nascent Soul stage, and the Han family will have better development in the future.
"Patriarch, you have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. This is a blessing for our family. Let's hold a ceremony and celebrate it with great fanfare!"
Han Daojing suggested excitedly that their lineage had been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and finally a Nascent Soul cultivator had appeared.
"Yes! Such a big happy event should be celebrated properly and we should take this opportunity to make friends with more forces."
Han Benfu deeply agreed. With a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, the Han family's social circle would be bigger and wider. Over the years, the Han family had made friends with many forces, most of which were only led by Jindan cultivators.
The others all agreed, and they all hoped that Han Zhangxiang would make a grand celebration.
Han Zhangxiang thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let Dao Jing and De Ling take care of this matter. By the way, we must invite the Han family of Jinjiao Island, the Liang family of Liuli Island, and Fellow Daoist Ling."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Daojia and Han Deling agreed in unison, looking excited.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you all can leave. Benfu will stay."
Han Zhangxiang waved his hand and asked the others to leave.
"Benfu, Changming and the others will be fine. They might be trapped in the Immortal Burial Ruins. You should practice well. When the Immortal Burial Ruins opens next time, I will go to the Immortal Burial Ruins to see if I can find Changming."
Han Zhangxiang comforted him, saying that if Han Debiao and the other three were still alive, Han Changming would probably have already formed a baby.
Ling Xiao Zhenren's eldest disciple Shen Qinghuan has already formed a fetus. With Ling Xiao Zhenren's alchemy level and status, it is not difficult for him to obtain a fetus-forming spiritual object for Han Changming.
"I will work hard to practice, Patriarch."
Han Benfu agreed. She had already made plans and would practice hard. The next time the Immortal Burial Ruins opened, she would definitely go in to look for Han Changming and his wife. She would want to see them alive or dead.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and said, "Benfu, I will help you keep an eye out for spiritual objects that can form an infant. If you can also advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the development prospects of our family will be better."
The family currently has two dual spiritual root cultivators. Han Benfu is older and she is an alchemist, while Han Zhongxin is a weapon refiner. If there is a fourth-level alchemist, more masters can be trained.
"Thank you, Chief. I will try my best. When Dad, Auntie, and Mother come back, I will definitely surprise them."
Han Benfu's face showed longing and her eyes were determined.
······
In Wanlingfang City, in a secluded green-tiled courtyard, Ye Xin sat in a stone pavilion, holding a thick book on formations in her hands, reading with great interest.
Ye Xue walked in from outside, looking anxious.
"What happened? You look flustered."
Ye Xin said without raising her head.
"Sister, my husband and uncle haven't come back for so long, I hope they are okay!"
Ye Xue said worriedly. Ever since Han Changming and Han Debiao left, Ye Xue has been worried and unable to sleep at night.
In comparison, Ye Xin was much calmer.
"It's a blessing or a disaster, you can't avoid it, you're just worrying about it, practice well, and wait for your husband to come back."
Ye Xin said seriously, her tone full of confidence.
"That being said, I will not be able to calm down until my husband and Uncle Wu come back. I am afraid of the worst."
Ye Xue sighed, her face full of worry.
"If there is a chance of that happening, then we must work even harder to cultivate, so that we can avenge our husband and Fifth Uncle."
Ye Xin's face was full of murderous intent when she finished speaking.
"Revenge? You don't need to take revenge."
A familiar male voice suddenly sounded, and as soon as the words fell, Han Changming walked in with a smile on his face.
"Husband, are you okay?"
When Ye Xue saw Han Changming, she finally felt relieved.
"It's okay. I'm fine. Sorry to have made you worried."
Han Changming said with a chuckle.
"Husband, where is Uncle Wu? Was it resolved so quickly?"
Ye Xin asked in surprise.
Han Changming came and sat down next to Ye Xin, and Ye Xin poured him a cup of spiritual tea.
After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Han Changming recounted what had happened.
After solving the problems of Han Debiao and Liang Youshan, Master Baishou asked Han Changming about his future plans. Han Changming planned to establish a chamber of commerce to collect resources for cultivating immortals.
It is better to work for yourself than for others. Sooner or later, he will return to the open sea and bring his people to the Zhongtian Continent for development.
Of course, this Chamber of Commerce is affiliated with the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance.
Master Baishou agreed readily. In this way, Han Changming would be under the command of Master Baishou and would get a fourth-rank alchemist who was proficient in alchemy. This would be of certain benefit to the development of the Baishou Merchant Alliance.
This time, Han Changming returned to Wanling Market, picked up Ye Xin and Ye Xue, and after dealing with some trivial matters, he rushed to Baishou Market, and settled down in Baishou Market from then on.
"Building up your own strength is a good thing, but you have to return to Qingha Island and bring your husband's old team with you."
Ye Xin suggested that they couldn't go back for the time being and could only stay in Zhongtian Continent, but this was temporary. They would have to go back sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
"Senior Fang, send someone to Qingha City with my handwritten letter to pick them up at the Hundred Beasts Market. After we finish dealing with Uncle Wu's business, we can go directly to the Hundred Beasts Market."
Han Changming said with a smile that he originally wanted to go to Qinghe City in person and bring Sun Ming and others with him. Since he wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, he would not be able to do it without subordinates to lead him.
"Husband, have you thought of a name for the Chamber of Commerce?"
Ye Xue asked with a smile.
"Let's call it Wan Hu Chamber of Commerce!"
Han Changming originally wanted to call it the Kowloon Chamber of Commerce, but with only a few of them, this name was not appropriate for the Chamber of Commerce, and it would easily cause the cultivators of the Wanfa Sect to have bad associations.
They came from HLD, so the name Wanhu Chamber of Commerce is not bad.
"Hasn't Uncle Wu's issue been resolved?"
Ye Xue asked in confusion.
"You are talking about Fifth Uncle's mother. I am talking about the Ouyang family. Don't forget that Fifth Uncle is the Ouyang family's servant after all. It is against the rules to leave the Ouyang family without saying goodbye."
Han Changming explained that it is not easy to join a force, and it is even more difficult to leave a force.
"For the sake of my husband and Master Baishou, the Ouyang family shouldn't embarrass Uncle Wu."
Ye Xin said confidently.
Han Changming nodded: "I hope so!"
······
In a nine-story golden pavilion, Ouyang Sheng and Ouyang Xue were sitting on chairs with serious expressions, while Han Debiao and Liang Youshan were standing beside them, both of them looking respectful.
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, Fairy Ouyang, thank you for your care over the years. This is just a small token of my respect."
Han Debiao said politely, took out a green storage ring and handed it to Ouyang Xue.
He told Ouyang Sheng that he had been separated from Han Changming, and now that he had found Han Changming, he planned to leave the Ouyang family.
"In that case, we won't try to keep you here. But since we have known each other for a while, we can interact more often in the future. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Han?"
Ouyang Sheng said with a smile that even if the Ouyang family ignored Han Changming's existence, they could not ignore the True Man of Hundred Beasts.
A forced melon is not sweet. Since Han Debiao intends to leave the Ouyang family, then forget it. There is no need to make trouble with the Master of Hundred Beasts over a Nascent Soul cultivator. Of course, there is a reason why the Ouyang family let him go so readily.
Han Debiao and Liang Youshan had just joined the Ouyang family to carry out a mission, and they had not yet succeeded. They did not know much about the Ouyang family. If a priest who was familiar with the internal affairs of the Ouyang family wanted to leave the Ouyang family and change allegiance, the Ouyang family would not be so straightforward.
"Yes! Fellow Daoist Han, we have known each other for a while, so you can take the things back! If you don't want to be our Ouyang family's tribute, you can be my friend, how about that?"
Ouyang Xue said with a smile that in the past, Han Debiao was not qualified to be her friend, he was just a powerful priest.
It's different now. Han Debiao has a nephew who is proficient in alchemy and has the support of Master Baishou. Ouyang Xue has to be wary of him.
"Of course. By the way, we have established a chamber of commerce, the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce, which is located in the Baishou Market. We mainly deal in elixirs and talismans."
Han Debiao agreed and said enthusiastically.
The Ouyang family released the person readily, which made Han Debiao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wan Hulu Merchants Association? I wonder what the relationship is between Wan Hulu Merchants Association and the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance?"
Ouyang Sheng asked curiously.
"We are a chamber of commerce under the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. Strictly speaking, we are members of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance, but we do not hold any position."
Han Debiao explained.
Ouyang Sheng's eyes flashed with surprise. Generally speaking, big forces would support some small chambers of commerce to collect resources for cultivating immortals for themselves. The Ouyang family was no exception and supported multiple chambers of commerce. However, the heads of the chambers of commerce were either members of the Ouyang family or were related to the Ouyang family.
Could it be that Han Changming is related to the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance? Ouyang Sheng thought of Ouyang Sheng and Ouyang Xue, and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Han. If I have the chance in the future, I will go to the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance to look for you."
Ouyang Xue said politely.
Han Debiao's face condensed, and he clasped his fists and said, "No matter what, if it weren't for Fairy Ouyang, we would have died. I will always remember this kindness. If you need me in the future, Fairy Ouyang, please let me know."
After hearing this, Ouyang Sheng and Ouyang Xue both showed satisfied expressions.
When you drink water, don't forget the person who dug the well. Han Debiao still has a conscience when he said this. If it weren't for the help from the Ouyang family, Han Debiao would have probably been killed by other forces.
After chatting for a while, Han Debiao and Liang Youshan said goodbye and left.
"Wan Hulu Merchants Guild, it seems that Master Baishou attaches great importance to them."
Ouyang Xue analyzed with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"This is not surprising. The benefits brought by a fourth-level alchemist who is proficient in alchemy are immeasurable. If he is lucky, his nephew will advance to the Spiritualization Stage and become a fifth-level alchemist. That would be even more terrifying."
Ouyang Sheng's face was solemn. He let the person go for the sake of Master Baishou and Han Changming. If it were any other priest, it would not be so easy to leave the Ouyang family.
There is no circle without rules. It would be bad if other worshippers followed suit.
"Uncle Nine, I understand what you mean. I will spend more time with them in the future. However, it won't be easy for Han Changming to advance to the Spiritual Transformation Stage!"
Ouyang Xue asked with some confusion.
Ouyang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say about this kind of thing. He can take the star field teleportation array to other immortal cultivation stars to find elixirs and impact the spirit transformation stage. Don't underestimate anyone, including yourself."
"My grandson will follow Uncle Nine's teachings."
Ouyang Xue agreed honestly.
In a small courtyard with green tiles, Han Changming and Ye Xin were sitting in a stone pavilion chatting and discussing future development.
"Chang Ming, Ye Xin, where is Ye Xue?"
Han Debiao's generous voice suddenly sounded.
He and Liang Youshan walked in, and Han Changming and Ye Xin stopped talking.
"I asked my sister to book a banquet so that we can get together as a family and celebrate properly."
Ye Xin explained.
When she heard the word "family", Liang Youshan's face flushed.
"Fifth uncle, wait until we are settled, you and Fairy Liang can get married! It will be easier to change your name."
Han Changming joked.
"Sister Shan, what do you think?"
Han Debiao looked at Liang Youshan and asked.
"I'll listen to you, Brother Biao."
Liang Youshan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's and her face was flushed.
"Okay, then it's settled. We'll hold the wedding when we get to the Beast Market. We can't go back for a while anyway."
Han Debiao smiled and said that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the lower the chance of giving birth to a child. If Liang Youshan advances to the Nascent Soul stage, the chance of giving birth to a child is very low. Anyway, getting married will not affect the formation of a child.
They are too short of manpower, and it won't work with just the five of them. If they had a few more people, it would be a lot easier.
Ye Xue walked in with a smile on her face.
"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, you're back just in time. I've ordered a banquet. Let's have a few drinks."
She took out several exquisite food boxes from her storage ring, and from the boxes she took out more than a dozen delicacies and two pots of spirit wine.
"I wish us all the best in the future and a speedy return to the open sea."
Han Changming said loudly, raising his glass.
Han Debiao and the other three raised their glasses and clinked them with him.
The five of them were toasting each other, talking and laughing.
The meal lasted more than two hours, and they discussed future developments.
Han Changming is responsible for refining pills, Ye Xue is responsible for making talismans, Ye Xin is responsible for managing the Chamber of Commerce's business, Han Debiao and Liang Youshan are responsible for making friends and expanding the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce's social circle, each with their own division of labor.
