The East China Sea Xiuxian World, the Coral Islands.
HLD, Chamber.
Han Deling was sitting on the main seat, listening to the report from the tribesmen.
"Our family currently occupies 250 islands, with more than 3 million mortals. There are more than 2,700 cultivators in the inner sea, including 5 Jindan cultivators, 454 foundation cultivators, and the rest are in the Qi Refining Stage."
"The business in Hulufang City is pretty good. 50% of the income comes from monster materials, elixirs account for 10%, and weapons and puppet beasts account for 30%. Last year, the income of the inner sea was 3,578,600 spirit stones, and the expenditure was 2,784,300 spirit stones."
After Han Zhangxiang entered the Nascent Soul stage, the Han family's appeal increased significantly.
The Han family established a market town called Hulu Market, which had a teleportation array that could teleport them to Haoran City. Its main purpose was to sell immortal cultivation resources from the outer seas. Of course, the Han family could not do this on their own.
Ling Xiao Zhenren, Liang Zhange and Jin Jiao Island all helped, which is why Hulufang Market came into being.
Jinjiao Island captured monsters in the open sea, tamed them, and then resold them to the Han family of Ziyue Island, who then transported them back to the inland sea for sale. In addition, Master Lingxiao used his connections to support the development of Hulufang City.
Special products from the outer sea, such as monster materials, refining materials, spiritual wood, spiritual fish, etc., are transported back to the inner sea for sale.
With the support of several Nascent Soul cultivators and abundant resources for cultivating immortals, the popularity of Hulu Market soared, and it soon became the largest market in the Coral Islands, with the best business as well. The Han family could make a fortune just by collecting rent.
With their pockets fatter, the Han family put more effort into training their clan members and encouraging childbirth, and their spending also increased accordingly.
The influence of the Han family is growing. The four major forces, including Tinghai Pavilion, are sensible and give the Han family some islands in exchange for some shops so that they can do business in Hulufang City and make money with the Han family.
As long as they want to make money together, the Han family welcomes them. If they want to make trouble, the Han family will definitely not be polite.
Han Deling nodded in satisfaction and said, "By the way, have the tribesmen who were sent out to deliver the message returned?"
"Not yet, probably soon."
Han Deling suddenly looked outside and said in surprise, "They are back. Okay, there is nothing to do. You can leave now! Do what you need to do."
The tribesmen responded, bowed and retreated.
As soon as they retreated, three beams of light flew in. They were Han Zhangxiang, Han Chaoyang and Liang Zhange, and their faces looked solemn.
The restrictions on the Falling Immortal Island are entering a period of weakness, so they plan to enter the Island, hunt a fourth-order dragon, and pick elixirs.
Of course, picking spiritual herbs was just an excuse; their main purpose was to hunt down the fourth-order dragon.
Han Chaoyang practiced the Han family's secret technique of Jiulong Island, "The Art of Transforming into a Dragon", which required the essence and blood of a fourth-level dragon to practice. By chance, he learned that there was a fourth-level dragon on the Falling Immortal Island, and invited Han Zhangxiang and others to go to the Falling Immortal Island to hunt the fourth-level dragon. Picking elixirs was just an excuse.
The Han family of Jinjiao Island is well-known in the outer sea for their ability to repel insects and tame beasts. Even if the news spreads, no one will think there is a problem. Han Chaoyang hunted the fourth-level dragon perhaps in order to cultivate a spiritual beast.
"Chief, why are you back with the two elders?"
Han Deling was a little surprised to see Liang Zhan Ge and Han Chao Yang. Could it be that some major crisis had occurred? Han Zhangxiang returned to the inner sea with the two Yuanyings.
"Come back to do something. This is the Dan-forming spiritual item you wanted."
Han Zhangxiang smiled and nodded, took out a green storage bag and threw it to Han Deling.
As the number of cultivators in the clan increased, the demand for spiritual objects for forming elixirs also increased. In the past, even though Han Benfu could refine golden elixirs and jade liquids, the materials were a problem and she could not refine as much as she wanted.
It’s different now. Master Lingxiao, the Liang family, and the Han family of Jinjiao Island are all helping. It has become easier for the Han family to collect the spiritual objects for forming the elixir.
Han Deling scanned with his spiritual sense and nodded, saying, "With this batch of materials, maybe in a few decades, there will be a few more Jindan cultivators in the clan."
The Han family is now strong in both men and horses, and the number of Jindan cultivators is increasing. There are as many as fifteen Jindan cultivators in the inner and outer seas.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and asked, "De Ling, if we calculate the time, the Falling Immortal Island will soon enter a period of weakness!"
"In the next few years! Chief, are you going to the Falling Fairy Island?"
Han Deling asked in surprise, the Falling Immortal Island is a well-known dangerous place in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world, full of dangers and restrictions, but it is also a treasure land.
In comparison, the Immortal Burial Ruins is more dangerous, and even a cultivator who has reached the God Transformation stage may perish on the Fallen Immortal Island.
"What's wrong? Have you collected any information about the Falling Fairy Island? Or a map?"
Han Zhangxiang was puzzled. He didn't want to go, but Han Chaoyang needed the fourth-level dragon's blood essence to practice, so Han Zhangxiang was willing to go.
"No, but I know someone who went into the Falling Fairy Island and came out alive."
Han Deling said seriously.
"Who? Where is he?"
Han Chaoyang asked. If he had not heard that there was a fourth-order dragon on the Falling Immortal Island, he would not want to go to the Falling Immortal Island for adventure. After all, he had never been to the Falling Immortal Island before.
"Bai Ling San Ren, he is currently in Hulufang City. He invited me to go treasure hunting on Zhui Xian Island, but I refused."
Han Deling reported truthfully that after Han Zhangxiang entered the Nascent Soul stage, Bailing Sanren became closer to the Han family.
During the chat, Han Deling learned that Bailing Sanren had been to the Falling Immortal Island.
"If this person can help, perhaps unnecessary trouble can be reduced."
Liang Zhange suggested that if Han Zhangxiang had not invited him, he would not want to go to the Fallen Immortal Island to hunt for treasure.
There are many dangerous places and treasures in the world of immortal cultivation, but the treasures are not so easy to obtain.
"Besides Bai Ling San Ren, have other cultivators been to the Falling Immortal Island?"
Han Zhangxiang asked.
"No, I just know that Bailing Sanren has been to Zhuixian Island."
Han Deling kept shaking her head.
Han Zhangxiang asked about the family's recent situation, and Han Deling told him the truth.
"Okay, we're going to the Falling Fairy Island, you go get busy!"
After Han Zhangxiang said this, he took Han Chaoyang and Liang Zhange away.
HLD has built a teleportation array that can directly teleport to Hulufang City.
Not long after, they appeared at the door of a magnificent hall, with two foundation-building monks guarding the door.
When they saw Han Zhangxiang, they did not stop him.
The hall is spacious and bright, with a teleportation array that is several dozen feet in size.
Han Zhangxiang and the other two walked to the teleportation array, and Han Zhangxiang cast a spell.
The teleportation array shook slightly, and a dazzling light lit up, drowning out their figures.
Han Zhangxiang and his two companions appeared on the streets of Hulufang City, and immediately attracted the attention of many monks. They all stepped aside and made way for them.
After a while, Han Zhangxiang appeared at the gate of a quiet courtyard and sent a sound transmission note.
Not long after, the door opened and Han Liren walked out with a happy face.
"Chief, why are you back?"
Han Liren asked with some surprise. After he entered the Jindan stage, he was transferred back to the Inner Sea and was in charge of Hulufang City. With the support of several Yuanying cultivators, naturally no one dared to make trouble in Hulufang City, so Han Liren could practice with peace of mind.
"We are back to do something. Send someone to look for Bailing Sanren and tell him that I want to see him. This matter will also benefit him."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
Han Liren responded. He noticed Liang Zhange and Han Chaoyang and quickly made a gesture of invitation. He said, "Patriarch, you have worked hard on the journey. Come in and rest first. I will give the order right away."
Han Zhangxiang and the other two walked into the manor. The manor was simply decorated with a huge lake in the center. In the center of the lake there was a three-story blue attic, and the lake was surrounded by spiritual fields.
There are hundreds of blue lotuses growing in the lake, and you can see some blue koi chasing each other in the lake. There are also a large number of blue lin flowers planted in the spiritual fields.
Han Liren invited them into the attic, made tea for them, took out the communication disk and gave orders to the tribesmen.
Han Zhangxiang and two other people were drinking tea and chatting, looking very happy.
Half an hour later, Han Liren typed a spell into the communication disk and made some gestures.
"Chief, Bai Ling Sanren has arrived and is outside."
Han Liren said happily.
"Go and bring him in! I have something to say to him."
Han Zhangxiang ordered.
Han Liren responded, bowed and left.
After a while, Han Liren came back, with Bailing Sanren following behind him.
Bailing Sanren looked nervous. He didn't know why Han Zhangxiang wanted to see him, but given Han Zhangxiang's status and position, he shouldn't make things difficult for him. The main reason was that he had never done anything to harm the interests of the Han family, so he felt confident.
"Liren, please step back! I need you for something."
Han Zhangxiang waved his hand and asked Han Liren to leave.
"Junior greets the three seniors."
Bailing Sanren bowed hurriedly with a nervous expression. He thought he was going to meet Han Zhangxiang, but who would have thought that there were three Nascent Soul cultivators waiting for him.
"Friend Dai, I heard that you have been to the Falling Immortal Island."
Han Zhangxiang asked with a pleasant expression.
Bai Ling San Ren nodded and said, "I've been there before."
He had told Han Changming and Han Deling, so naturally he couldn't deny it.
"We are going to the Falling Fairy Island to search for treasure. You lead the way for us. If you find what we want, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. How do you think?"
Han Zhangxiang asked in a sincere tone.
Bailing Sanren thought about it and agreed.
He had no choice at all. Three Nascent Soul cultivators came to him. If he refused, it would be too disrespectful. The consequences of offending three Nascent Soul cultivators would be very serious.
If you refuse, you will be in trouble immediately; if you agree, you may be in trouble later.
"Don't worry, we won't harm you. We just want you to lead the way for us. This bottle of Jin Yun Dan is given to you. It will be beneficial to your cultivation. After the task is completed, we will also reward you."
Han Chaoyang took out a golden porcelain bottle and threw it to Bailing Sanren.
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass.
Bai Ling San Ren thanked him, accepted the golden porcelain bottle, and looked much more relaxed.
"If you don't have any other time, let's go as soon as possible! Don't delay important things."
Han Zhangxiang urged.
How could Bailing Sanren dare to say no and agreed immediately.
After leaving Hulufang Market, Han Zhangxiang slapped his storage bag, and a red light flew out. It was the flying hearse.
"A top-grade flying magic weapon!"
Bailing Sanren exclaimed, his face full of envy.
"Let's go! We'll be faster if we use the flying hearse."
Han Zhangxiang gave the order and walked onto the animal cart first, followed closely by Han Chaoyang and Liang Zhange.
Bailing Sanren responded and walked onto the animal cart.
"Walk."
Following a light shout from Han Zhangxiang, the flying hearse suddenly emitted a bright red light and flew high into the sky.
Not long after, they disappeared into the horizon.
······
There is an island with a radius of thousands of miles, with dense vegetation and many dangerous mountains and peaks.
The sea water around the island is black and the sea surface is calm. Even if there is a howling wind, the sea surface remains calm without a ripple. The sky is gray, giving people a feeling of depression.
From time to time, black lightning streaked across the sky and struck the sea below.
On the beach stood a golden stone tablet over a hundred feet high, with three large silver characters "Falling Fairy Island" written on it, shining brightly.
A beam of white light flew from a distance. Not long after, the white light stopped. It turned out to be a white cloud-like object with shining light. It was obviously a flying magic weapon.
A team of monks stood on the white clouds, led by Shangguan Yuwei.
The Shangguan family is one of the seven great immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea, with a profound heritage and many experts in the clan.
More than two hundred years ago, Shangguan Yuwei led her people to the Qingli Sea, thinking that the Wanmo Island would appear in the Qingli Sea. After waiting for decades in vain, they simply left.
Not long after they left, the Ten Thousand Demons Island appeared in the Coral Sea. When the news reached Shangguan Yuwei, she was furious.
This time, the ban on the Falling Immortal Island entered a period of weakness, and Shangguan Yuwei led a team of tribesmen into the Falling Immortal Island to hunt for treasure.
"The restrictions on Falling Immortal Island are entering a period of weakness. I don't know how many cultivators will die on Falling Immortal Island. You all should not be careless and be on high alert. Do you understand?"
A fat, round-faced man commanded in a stern tone.
Shangguan Yu has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The Shangguan family has been on a downward trend in recent years, with a serious lack of successors within the clan.
"Yes, Seventh Uncle."
The Shangguan disciples said in unison.
"Uncle Qi, someone is coming."
Shangguan Yuwei's face darkened and she looked up into the sky.
A red light appeared in the distant sky. Not long after, the red light stopped. It turned out to be a square beast carriage with red light flashing. Four men were standing inside. They were Han Zhangxiang and his four companions.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, it's you."
Liang Zhange let out a light exclamation when he saw Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu went to overseas for business in his early years and spent some time with Liang Zhange.
"Friend Liang, why did you run to the Inland Sea?"
Shangguan Yu said with some surprise.
"I heard that there is an island called Falling Immortal Island in the East China Sea. There are many natural treasures on the island. Come here and try your luck. Maybe it will be my luck."
Liang Zhange pretended to be relaxed and smiled.
Shangguan Yu nodded, his eyes fell on Han Zhangxiang and Han Chaoyang, and he asked curiously: "Who are these two Taoist friends?"
"I am Han Chaoyang from Jinjiao Island."
"HLD Han Zhangxiang."
Han Chaoyang and Han Zhangxiang gave their names one after another.
"Friend Liang, I won't bother you anymore. Come to our Shangguan home when you have time."
Shangguan Yu extended the invitation, made a gesture of magic, and a white cloud flew towards the Falling Immortal Island.
Han Zhangxiang narrowed his eyes and stared at the white clouds.
As soon as the white clouds appeared above the black sea, black lightning struck from the sky, more than ten bolts in total.
