In a quiet manor, Han Zhangxiang sat in a hexagonal green stone pavilion.
Not long after, Han Daojing walked in and said respectfully, "Patriarch, Madam Lu wants to see you."
"Bring her in! We've been waiting for her to come."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
Han Daojing took the order and left. Not long after, he brought Lu Yun to Han Zhangxiang.
"Junior greets Senior Han."
Lu Yun said respectfully, looking respectful.
She is older than Han Zhangxiang and entered the Jindan stage earlier than Han Zhangxiang. However, Han Zhangxiang entered the Yuanying stage while she was still in the Jindan stage. It can only be said that she did not have enough opportunities.
“You don’t have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. There are no outsiders here. You took good care of our Han family in the past. In fact, it was you who helped me refine the elixir and dissolved the residual poison in my body.”
Han Zhangxiang said with a pleasant face.
"I don't deserve this, Senior Han, thank you for your praise."
Lu Yun was terrified. She hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "We at Tinghai Pavilion are willing to obey the leadership of the Han family and fight for it. If Senior Han wants to unify the Coral Sea, we at Tinghai Pavilion are willing to be the first to rush in."
"It is the same as before. I have no interest in unifying the Coral Sea, and I have no interest in killing people. If you need help from our Han family, as long as it is not an excessive request, we can agree to it."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice.
Lu Yun agreed repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief. She was just testing Han Zhangxiang. If Han Zhangxiang really wanted to unify the Coral Sea, Tinghai Pavilion would definitely be at the forefront and serve as cannon fodder for the Han family.
"Tell the others what I have said, and tell them that I am not interested in unifying the Coral Sea. Let them do what they need to do. Harmony brings wealth, and there is no need to fight and kill."
Han Zhangxiang instructed that after going to the open sea, he really looked down on the immortal cultivation resources in the Coral Sea, not to mention that Han Changming had already established the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce in Zhongtian Continent.
What he has to do now is to encourage his people to have children and train more high-level monks to prepare for future development in Zhongtian Continent and win in a stable manner.
Forces like Tinghai Pavilion are backed by powerful forces. It is still difficult for the Han family to unify the Coral Sea, and the losses will certainly be great.
Han Zhangxiang will not unify the Coral Sea, and other forces will not violate his request as long as it is not an excessive demand.
Lu Yun said yes repeatedly and bowed and left.
"Daojing, please issue some clan rules to encourage the tribe members to have children. Changming and his men don't have many people, so we need to train more tribe members."
Han Zhangxiang instructed that there were already more than a thousand cultivators in the Han family's inner sea, but most of them were in the Qi Refining Stage.
With ninety more islands, the Han family can train more cultivators.
Han Daojing nodded: "Yes, clan leader, by the way, Desheng is here, he has changed his appearance, and others don't recognize him."
With the help of his family, Han Desheng has already achieved Dan, and is also the head of the Chen family.
"Bring him here, don't let anyone see him."
After a while, Han Desheng appeared in front of Han Zhangxiang, looking excited.
"Clan leader, congratulations on your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage."
Han Desheng congratulated.
"Desheng, you should take care of the Chen family for now. On the surface, you still have to pretend that you are irreconcilable with the Han family. You understand what I mean!"
Han Zhangxiang's voice was heavy. It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. He kept the Chen family mainly to let Han Desheng get information.
"I understand that anyone who wants to deal with the Han family will definitely contact the Chen family and let the Chen family act as a pawn."
Han Desheng smiled knowingly and nodded.
Han Zhangxiang nodded with satisfaction, gave a few instructions, took out a green storage bag, handed it to Han Desheng, and said, "There are two magic weapons and some immortal cultivation resources in it, you can use them!"
Han Desheng thanked him and took the storage bag. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch, how is De Biao now?"
Han Debiao is his biological brother, the closest person to Han Desheng in the world.
"He has conceived a baby, but he is currently in Zhongtian Continent. If there is a chance in the future, you will meet him. However, please do not spread any news about him. This matter is top secret."
Han Zhangxiang reminded him that if it were not for Han Desheng's great contribution, he would not want to tell the truth. Even within the Han family, not many people knew about Han Debiao and Han Changming's situation.
If too many tribesmen knew about it, the news would easily leak out.
Han Desheng was pleasantly surprised and agreed immediately.
After chatting for a while, Han Zhangxiang let him leave.
The spiritual vein of HLD is still at the third level, and Han Zhangxiang has already formed a fetus. Practicing in HLD is ineffective, while the situation in the open sea is relatively better.
Han Zhangxiang stayed in the inland sea for a few months and then returned to the open sea, leaving Han Deling in charge of HLD.
······
Time flies, and seventy years have passed quickly.
In the Beast Market, the streets are crowded with people and cars, creating a prosperous scene.
In Wanhulu, Sun Ming was reporting the situation to Ye Xue. Sun Ming had already advanced to the Jindan stage, so naturally it was the Jindan spiritual object provided by Han Changming.
Sun Ming has worked diligently and effectively over the years, and has won the trust of Han Changming and Ye Xue.
After Sun Ming formed the Dan, Ye Xue asked him to be the deputy manager to handle the business of Wanhulou. He reported directly to Ye Xue, which could relieve Ye Xue's pressure.
Han Changming, Liang Youshan, Ye Xin and Han Debiao were all in seclusion. Ye Xue had to take care of the business, Han Changqing and the other two, and also refine the third-level talismans. She was very busy.
"That's right. I trust you to do your job. You don't need to report such trivial matters to me in the future."
Ye Xue instructed that Sun Ming was trained by Han Changming, and without Han Changming, he would be nothing, which is why Ye Xue trusted him.
Ye Xue told him that he didn't need to report everything, but Sun Ming still reported everything and asked for instructions on everything. He didn't dare to act on his own. He could be where he is today thanks to Han Changming.
Without Han Changming, it would be difficult for him to advance to the foundation-building stage, let alone form a pill. He might have already become a pile of bones.
He is grateful and works very seriously. Even though he has Han Changming's trust, Sun Ming dare not be careless or do anything wrong.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll take my leave."
Sun Ming agreed and bowed before leaving.
Ye Xue seemed to have sensed something, and took out a magic disk that was shining with spiritual light, and entered a magic formula. Then Wang Ning's excited voice rang out: "Second Madam, the First Madam is striving for the Nascent Soul stage."
Wang Ning has also reached the Jindan stage and is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence. He already has more than a hundred people under him.
After years of development, the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce has seen a surge in the number of its subordinates, most of whom are in the Qi Refining stage. There are more than 50 cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. When the cultivators of the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce get married, their children are born as members of the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce. Ye Xue will give their parents a sum of spirit stones as rewards every year. When they grow up, they will work for the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce and receive salaries from the Chamber.
There is a special place in the Beast Market for high-level cultivators to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Ye Xin and Liang Youshan are in seclusion in different places to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
"Got it. I'll be there right away."
Ye Xue put away the communication disk and left Wanhulu in a hurry.
After a cup of tea, Ye Xue appeared on the top of a steep peak with a serious look in her eyes.
Looking in the direction she was looking, she could see a huge thundercloud with lightning and thunder.
Below the thundercloud is a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a two-story green attic in the valley.
In a guest room in the attic, Ye Xin sat cross-legged on a futon with her eyes closed, sweat all over her forehead, and her facial features distorted, as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
She was overcoming her inner tribulation. In the corner there was an exquisite golden incense burner with a burning golden sandalwood stick in it. The room was filled with a strange fragrance.
The Seven-Star Purifying Incense can weaken the power of the inner demon.
······
On a desolate mountain, Ye Xin stood in front of a small grave with a solemn expression.
There are five big characters "Han Benzhi's Tomb" written on the tombstone. This is Han Benzhi's tomb.
"Benzhi, mother is here to see you."
Ye Xin said softly, her eyes slightly red.
"You are not my mother. You are living happily outside without caring about my life or death."
A cold male voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the grave mound exploded and Han Benzhi walked out of the grave. His face was ferocious and full of anger.
"Listen to my mother's explanation. Your father, second mother and I were stranded in Zhongtian Continent by accident. It's not that we don't care about your life or death. We can't come back!"
Ye Xin quickly explained.
"Excuses, these are all excuses. If you really want to come back, I don't believe you can't come back."
Han Benzhi roared.
"You misunderstood, it's not like that, mother..."
Before Ye Xin finished speaking, she was interrupted by Han Benzhi: "I don't have a mother like you, do you know how hard my life is?"
Ye Xin sighed softly and stared at Han Benzhi.
Han Benzhi kept chattering and cursing.
"You are unworthy of being a mother. You abandoned me."
Han Benzhi sneered.
Ye Xin's expression was calm, and she said, "If it weren't for the Seven-Star Pure Spirit Incense, I would really be irritated by you. Fake is fake. I know Benzhi well, and he would never talk to me like that."
Ye Xin raised her hand and a blue light shot out, piercing through Han Benzhi's body.
Han Benzhi turned into a few dots of light and disappeared, obviously a fake body.
Ye Xin was unable to see Han Benzhi off for the last time, which was a hurdle that she could not get over. The inner demon deliberately transformed herself into Han Benzhi's appearance, trying to anger Ye Xin and prevent her from conceiving a baby.
The scene in front of her eyes blurred, and Ye Xin suddenly appeared in a secluded courtyard. A woman's moan came from the room, accompanied by a man's voice.
The inner demon will transform into various things, making the cultivator fall into the illusion and unable to extricate himself. The more regrets a cultivator has in his heart, the more difficult it will be to get rid of the inner demon.
Ye Xin didn't have any big regrets, so it was relatively easy for her to overcome her inner demons.
Ye Xin took a deep breath and walked towards the door. She pushed the door open and saw Han Changming holding a beautiful female cultivator in his arms, both of them were naked.
"Ma'am, you're here just in time. Let's play together."
Han Changming laughed lewdly.
"You think I'll be fooled? I know what kind of person my husband is."
Ye Xin chuckled, looking disdainful.
······
Ye Xue looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, her face full of worry.
After a cup of tea, the thunderclouds rolled violently and a huge explosion was heard.
In the attic, Ye Xin suddenly opened her eyes, her clothes were wet with sweat.
She turned her head and looked at the incense burner, and saw that the Seven-Star Purifying Incense had burned out.
It was indeed not easy to overcome the inner demons. She almost got stuck in illusions several times and couldn't get out. Fortunately, she had the Seven-Star Purifying Incense, which kept her awake at the critical moment.
The rumbling sound of thunder came from the sky. Ye Xin took a deep breath, took out a light yellow array plate, and entered a spell.
Outside the attic, countless yellow mists emerged from the ground and turned into a sea of yellow fog, covering the entire valley.
A thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and disappeared into the yellow fog, like a sea of mud.
Silver lightning streaked across the sky and disappeared into the yellow sea of fog.
As time passed, the volume of the yellow fog sea became smaller and smaller.
After less than half an hour, the thundercloud was still more than ten feet in size. The yellow sea of fog disappeared, and the attic also disappeared.
Ye Xin's face was pale. She was standing in a huge pit. There was only one last thunder tribulation left before she could advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
A rumbling thunder sounded, and the thunderclouds rolled violently, turning into a silver thunder eagle, swooping down from the sky and heading straight for Ye Xin.
Ye Xin's expression changed. She did not dare to be careless. She pinched her fingers and the Yunhai Pearl suddenly emitted a blue light. Countless blue sea water gushed out and turned into layers of blue water curtains, submerging Ye Xin's figure.
The silver thunder eagle crashed into the blue water curtain and exploded instantly. The dazzling lightning flooded the entire valley, and the powerful air waves blew a lot of rubble into the sky.
After a while, when the lightning faded away, there was no grass growing in the valley. Ye Xin stood in a huge pit, her face pale. The Yunhai Pearl floated in front of her, its spiritual light dim.
She exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure and unexpectedly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Sister, take the pills to heal your wounds."
Ye Xue rushed over immediately, took out a Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill and handed it to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin swallowed the Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill, sat cross-legged, and practiced internal energy to refine it.
After a cup of tea, Ye Xin stood up and her face regained its rosy color.
"Congratulations! Sister, you have entered the Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Xue congratulated with a smile.
"How are my husband and uncle Wu? Nothing serious happened during my retreat, right?"
Ye Xin asked casually.
"My husband, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are all in seclusion. It's nothing serious. Let's go back! You have just entered the Nascent Soul stage. You need to recuperate for a while."
Ye Xue's face was full of smiles. From now on, the Wanhulu Chamber of Commerce would have three Nascent Soul cultivators.
When he returned to his residence, Han Debiao was walking towards him. Han Debiao's aura was much stronger than before, and he had advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
"Hey, Uncle Wu, have you made a breakthrough?"
Ye Xue said in surprise.
Han Debiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Ye Xin has entered the Nascent Soul stage, that's good, I guess your fifth aunt will be there soon too."
The Beast Market is a large market, and it is very convenient to collect evil spirits. With the help of elixirs, Han Debiao's cultivation speed will be faster.
All in all, it took him more than a hundred years to go from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage. This cultivation speed is considered very fast in the outer sea, but in the Zhongtian Continent, it is only considered average.
After entering the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Han Debiao's body became stronger, but he did discover the disadvantages of the evil spirit. While the evil spirit was tempering his body, it was also corroding his body.
As his cultivation level increased, Han Debiao felt more and more painful when he used evil spirit to cultivate.
He had to find a way to solve this problem. If he tried to dispel the evil spirit, it would be useless for his cultivation. What he wanted was to suppress the evil spirit. It would be best if he had a treasure, but this kind of treasure was very rare.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xin went back to her room to rest. She had lost a lot of energy and needed to recuperate for a while.
