"That's right. This matter is a secret of our family and must not be spread outside. If we have the opportunity in the future, we may be able to develop in Zhongtian Continent."
Han Zhangxiang looked full of anticipation.
"Yes! If we can develop in Zhongtian Continent, we might be able to restore the glory of our ancestors."
Han Daojing said excitedly that with the rich immortal cultivation resources in Zhongtian Continent, the Han family had a greater chance of having a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Han Liren nodded and said with a smile: "That's great, I will work hard to cultivate and make greater contributions to the family in the future."
After hearing this, Han Zhangxiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your hard work in cultivation is your greatest contribution to the family."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Han Liren patted his chest and agreed.
After giving a few instructions, Han Zhangxiang asked Han Liren to go down and consolidate his cultivation. He had just made a breakthrough and had lost a lot of vital energy, so he needed to practice in seclusion for a while.
"Patriarch, we have more and more high-level monks. Do you want to unify the Coral Sea? Even if we can't unify the Coral Sea, we can still seize more territory."
Han Deling suggested that the Han family now had a Nascent Soul cultivator and that things were different now. The balance of power in the Coral Sea had been broken and the Han family could unify the Coral Sea.
Han Zhangxiang shook his head and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Qingyun Sect and other forces have powerful forces behind them. If I rely on myself to forcibly unify the Coral Sea, it will only increase casualties and will not bring much benefit. After Benfu gives birth to her infant, I can consider occupying more territory. Devouring will attract other people's attention, but cannibalization will not."
With the current strength of the Han family, it is too difficult to unify the Coral Sea. Once Han Zhangxiang encounters an accident, the Han family will face the disaster of genocide.
"Erosion? What is the clan leader going to do?"
Han Daojing asked curiously. He and Han Deling both wanted to unify the Coral Sea. Even if it was just an open unification, the Han family would be able to gain a lot of benefits.
Han Zhangxiang does not want good face, but tangible benefits. To put it bluntly, Han Zhangxiang does not fight for empty fame that has no benefits, but wants tangible benefits.
"I have already held the Infant Formation Ceremony in the outer sea, but it has not been held in the inner sea yet. I will go back to the inner sea to hold the Infant Formation Ceremony. If the Haige and other forces are sensible, I will offer some immortal cultivation resources."
Han Zhangxiang said seriously that the title of Nascent Soul Stage alone was enough to make Tinghai Pavilion and other forces give way.
Each force gave up some territory, and the total amount is not a small number. This is cannibalization. Once the Han family grows to a certain extent, it will not be too late to unify the Coral Sea.
"Yes, we can consider annexing the Chen family to strengthen our strength."
Han Daojing suggested that the head of the Chen family was Han Desheng, an undercover agent of the Han family. With the help of the Han family, Han Desheng had already formed a pill. Thanks to his efforts, no one in the Chen family dared to oppose his opinion.
Han Daojing shook his head and said, "No, it was not easy to support Desheng to that position. Let him continue to manage the Chen family. Maybe he can play an unexpected role."
With the current strength of the Han family, annexing the Chen family is almost the same as annexing other small families. Keeping the Chen family can act as a spy.
Han Daojing and Han Deling had no objection and agreed.
After contacting Han Changming, Han Zhangxiang gained two powerful allies, Ling Xiao Zhenren and Liang Zhange.
Before this, the Han family had a good relationship with Liang Zhange and Ling Xiao Zhenren, but it was not strong. Han Changming built his own power in Zhongtian Continent and could supply cultivation resources to the clansmen in the outer sea. Based on this point, Ling Xiao Zhenren and Liang Zhange would not treat the Han family poorly.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. There are huge interests. Ling Xiao Zhenren and Liang Zhange are both powerful allies of Han Zhangxiang. As for Han Chaoyang, Jinjiao Island is too far away from Ziyue Island and out of reach, unless they can build a large teleportation array. However, they are unable to deploy a large teleportation array for the time being.
Han Zhangxiang gave them a few instructions and asked them to go back and rest.
Seven days later, Han Deling left Ziyue Island and went to Haoran City. She planned to return to the Inner Sea to distribute invitations and hold a baby-birthing ceremony for Han Zhangxiang.
······
The Yuquan Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, with numerous hills and valleys, towering ancient trees, rugged rocks, and shrouded in clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.
A blue light and a red light appeared in the distant sky. Not long after, the two lights stopped, revealing to be a giant blue eagle and a red flying shuttle.
It was Han Changming and his group.
Ye Yunshan flipped his hand and took out a square blue token, injected magic power into it, and a blue light flew out, sank into the white sea of clouds in front, and suddenly disappeared.
The white sea of clouds suddenly rolled violently, and slowly dispersed, revealing a stretch of undulating green mountains, waterfalls hanging from the sky, longevity deer running in the dense forest, spirit monkeys playing in the mountain stream, as well as pavilions and palaces, and colorful lights flying in the sky.
"Yes, it is indeed a good choice for your sect to choose this place as the headquarters."
Han Changming praised, but these were all polite words. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it couldn't compare to the abundant spiritual energy. In terms of abundant spiritual energy, how could this place compare to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range and the Wanling Market.
"Friend Han, please come in. If the sect master knew you were coming as a guest, he would definitely be very happy."
Ye Ruoyun said with a smile, made a gesture of invitation, and led the way.
Just as they flew a thousand feet away, a silver light flew towards them. It turned out to be a centipede that was completely silver. The silver centipede was a hundred feet long, with a pair of golden antennae on its head and four wings on its back. It was obviously a fourth-level spiritual insect.
An old man in a golden robe with a hunchback stood on it. The old man in the golden robe had a ruddy face and was obviously a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"Brother Fang, why are you here?"
Ye Yunshan said with some surprise.
"The Sect Master knows that Fellow Daoist Han is coming, so he sent me to arrange accommodation for him. Junior Brother Ye, the Sect Master wants to see you for something, so you go over first!"
The old man in the golden robe explained.
Ye Yunshan nodded and was about to leave, when the spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist suddenly began to move.
The silver centipede under the golden-robed old man suddenly became violent, and its huge body kept twisting.
The old man in the golden robe was slightly startled, and hurried to appease the spirit insect, but no matter how he tried to appease it, the silver centipede was very irritable, swaying left and right.
Han Changming realized something and patted a spirit beast bag on his waist, and the silver centipede finally calmed down.
At this point, the old man in the golden robe and Ye Yunshan both realized the problem. It seemed that Han Changming had raised some kind of spiritual beast or spiritual insect with a relatively high bloodline.
"I am Fang Xing, Fellow Daoist Han, we have prepared a place for you to stay. Please come this way."
The old man in the golden robe quickly led the way, his tone becoming more polite.
The first time they met, his spirit insect was defeated before they even fought, which made him even more afraid of Han Changming.
Han Changming and his party followed Fang Xing to a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the valley stood a vast manor with green bricks and blue tiles.
"Friend Han, what do you think of this place? If you don't like it, you can change."
Fang Xing asked politely.
"Let's just do it here! Sorry to bother you, Fellow Daoist Fang."
Han Changming expressed his thanks.
"Okay, if you have any instructions, just say hello."
Fang Xing gave a warning and was about to leave. He hesitated for a moment and asked politely, "Fellow Daoist Han, it was your spirit beast that caused the four-winged thunder centipede to become agitated just now, right? Can you let me see what spirit beast it is?"
He had spent hundreds of years of hard work to cultivate a fourth-order four-winged thunder centipede. However, before they even started fighting, the four-winged thunder centipede was at a disadvantage. This made him curious, but also somewhat unwilling.
Han Changming smiled and nodded, then he patted his spirit beast bag and the thunder rhinoceros worm flew out.
"What kind of spiritual insect is this? I have never seen it before."
Fang Xing asked curiously.
"I don't know either. This is a mutant spirit insect."
Han Changming naturally would not tell the truth.
When the Four-Winged Thunder Centipede saw the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, it acted as if it was facing a formidable enemy. It let out a sharp hiss, and countless silver arcs of electricity emerged from its body surface.
roar!
The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was not afraid at all. It let out a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, emitting a terrifying aura and continuous thunder.
Hearing this sound, the Four-Winged Thunder Centipede's body began to tremble. If Fang Xing hadn't comforted it, it would have run away.
The dragon's roar spread throughout the entire Yuquan Gate, alarming a large number of exotic birds and beasts. They prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, as if they had encountered something terrible.
Han Changming was a little surprised. He did not expect that the Thunder Rhino Insect would have such great magical powers after it advanced to the fourth level. If he had not found out the bloodline contained in it, Han Changming would not have been able to cultivate the Thunder Rhino Insect in a targeted manner, and it would not have advanced so quickly.
Fang Xing’s face was filled with shock. They were all lightning-attributed spirit insects. How could Han Changming’s spirit insects be so powerful? He must have some kind of powerful bloodline.
When he thought of Han Changming's identity as a fourth-rank alchemist, he felt relieved.
Given Han Changming's identity and status, how could a spiritual insect with such weak strength be worthy of his attention
"Come back! You just want to fool around."
Han Changming slapped the spirit beast bag, and the thunder rhinoceros worm obediently flew back to the spirit beast bag.
The four-winged thunder centipede finally returned to normal, and Han Changqing and Han Changju were full of envy.
After Fang Xing left, Han Changming and three others flew into the manor.
"Brother Jiu, your spirit insect is so amazing! Do you have any larvae? I want to raise one too."
"Yes! Brother Jiu, do you have larvae?"
Han Changqing and Han Changju looked at Wang Ze and Han Changming eagerly, their faces full of anticipation.
"There is no larvae, just this one, and it cannot mate."
Han Changming shook his head. He was not lying. The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was the offspring of a mutated spirit insect, which meant that it was difficult for it to reproduce.
"Don't envy your ninth brother. Even if you have larvae, you can't cultivate such powerful spirit insects without the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage. Practice hard, and your cultivation will improve, then you will naturally be able to raise powerful spirit insects."
Han Debiao taught that he once envied the spiritual insects raised by Han Changming, but Han Changming was an alchemist. If it were other Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be difficult to cultivate fourth-order spiritual insects.
Spirit insects consume no less resources for cultivation than spirit beasts, and it is not easy for them to advance. In the same environment and with the same attributes, it is more difficult for spirit insects to advance than spirit beasts.
"Uncle Wu is right. Cultivation is the foundation. Once you improve your cultivation, it won't be difficult to raise powerful spirit insects."
Han Changming agreed. If it continued to stay in the open sea, even if the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect could reach the fourth level, it would not have such great magical powers. The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect could be what it is today because Han Changming found out that it had the blood of a true dragon with thunder attributes.
Han Changqing and Han Changju agreed readily and went downstairs to rest.
Han Debiao and Han Changming went back to their room to rest and meditate.
······
A steep blue peak with a large number of blue spiritual flowers growing on it, and a blue stone staircase extending from the foot of the mountain to the top.
On the top of the mountain, there is a magnificent blue palace with a plaque with three large characters "Yuquan Palace" inscribed on it. This is the residence of the leader of the Yuquan Sect, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter without permission.
The gate of Yuquan Palace was open and the hall was spacious and bright.
Ye Yunshan was reporting to a tall and thin man in a blue robe. The man in the blue robe had a sturdy build, regular features, and bright eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Hong Feng, the leader of Yuquan Sect, is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
"In this case, this person's alchemy skills are indeed not low."
Hong Feng nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"In addition to his superb alchemy skills, Fellow Daoist Han is very interested in the art of repelling insects and taming beasts. He is even better than Senior Brother."
Ye Yunshan talked about what he had just seen and heard.
"I remember that Junior Brother Fang's four-winged thunder centipede was promoted to the fourth level by refining the blood essence and demon pill of a fourth-level thunder dragon, plus three heavenly beast pills. What kind of spiritual beast did this person raise? It's so powerful."
Hong Feng said with some surprise.
"I don't know. Apart from Fellow Daoist Han, his uncle Han Debiao is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with great strength."
Ye Yunshan's face was solemn as he finished speaking. He remembered something and asked, "By the way, Sect Master, has the Golden Palace Water been distributed? Fellow Daoist Han brought two of his brothers here. Why not give him some Golden Palace Water to establish a good relationship with him? Maybe we'll need his help in the future."
"It hasn't been distributed yet. With his alchemy level, he will naturally get a share. The amount of Golden Palace True Water is limited, so I can only give him some. Other Taoist friends also want some."
Hong Feng said seriously.
"That's fine, as long as he has a share. By the way, Sect Master, you have been away from Xuanyang Star for many years. Have you found any opportunities?"
Ye Yunshan asked nervously, if Hong Feng advances to the Spirit Transformation Stage, the entire Yuquan Sect will benefit.
Hong Feng shook his head and said, "No, the spiritual objects that assist in the impact of the Spiritual Transformation Stage are too expensive. I simply cannot compete with those big forces. I came back this time to refine an incarnation."
"Refine an avatar?"
Ye Yunshan's face was full of confusion. Hong Feng was in the late Nascent Soul stage and had many disciples. There was no need to refine an avatar. An avatar was just a high-level puppet that could only do things according to the orders of the original body and had no independent consciousness. It would be better to train disciples.
"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, go back and rest first!"
Hong Feng waved his hand and gave orders.
Ye Yunshan responded and turned to leave.
Hong Feng came to a side room where there was a pool more than ten feet in size. The water in the pool was light golden. If any cultivator saw this scene, he would be horrified.
The water in these pools is all real Jinque water, which is naturally grown and the output is not large.
Hong Feng flipped his hand and took out a wooden box with a silver talisman on it. He opened the box and found a piece of bone wrapped in black air inside. The surface emitted a soft black light, which was obviously not an ordinary object.
"With this piece of demon spirit bone, and by collecting other materials, I should be able to refine a demon body incarnation. Then it will be much easier to enter that place and take the treasure. If I can get that thing, my chances of advancing to the God Transformation Stage will be greater."
Hong Feng muttered to himself, his eyes fiery.
