A cup of tea later, Liang Youshan and Ye Xue appeared at the door of Huolin Pavilion, and five Jindan-stage subordinates stayed at the door.
They walked in and went straight upstairs without staying in the hall.
Not long after, they met Song Yueqiao.
"My two Taoist friends, how can I help you?"
Song Yueqiao asked enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper Song, I wonder if Brother Daoist Song Yufeng is available? We have something we want to talk to him about."
Ye Xue asked politely.
Song Yueqiao was slightly stunned and said, "Yu Feng? He is in seclusion practicing, it's the same if you have anything to tell me."
Ye Xue frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Shopkeeper Song, my name is Ye Xue, and my husband is Han Changming. He followed Fairy Fang from the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance into Jiuyang Mountain and never returned. We want to find out about the situation in Jiuyang Mountain, mainly the restrictions."
"Han Changming?"
Song Yueqiao was slightly stunned. Song Yufeng had mentioned Han Changming many times, so Song Yueqiao naturally knew of Han Changming's existence.
He thought about it and briefly explained the situation he knew.
"Tongtian Lingbao! Huang family!"
Ye Xue and Liang Youshan frowned. Fang Yufei did not mention this to them. They probably thought it happened after Fang Yufei left.
"Madam Han, the restrictions on Jiuyang Mountain have returned to normal. Entering Jiuyang Mountain to search for treasure now is almost like committing suicide."
Song Yueqiao's face was solemn.
Every five hundred years or so, the restrictions on Jiuyang Mountain will enter a period of weakness, and many cultivators enter Jiuyang Mountain to search for treasures at this time.
Ye Xue nodded and thanked him.
"Madam Han, you should stay in Qiancaofang City first, and then make your plans."
Song Yueqiao suggested kindly.
Ye Xue agreed. Naturally, she would not immediately enter Jiuyang Mountain to look for Han Changming. She would first collect information about the restrictions on Jiuyang Mountain.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xue and Liang Youshan said goodbye and left.
After leaving Huolin Pavilion, they rented an independent courtyard and lived there.
The five subordinates are led by Sun Bin, who is the descendant of Sun Ming and is currently in the middle stage of Jindan.
Han Changming and his two men have been missing for more than three hundred years, and most of their subordinates have passed away. Now, most of the Jindan cultivators in the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce are descendants of the backbone members. They grew up in the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce and have a strong sense of belonging to the Chamber.
"Sun Bin, Liu Shuang, collect as much information as possible about the restrictions on Jiuyang Mountain. It doesn't matter if you spend more spirit stones. We are outsiders and we are unfamiliar with the place. You should not conflict with the local cultivators."
Liang Youshan instructed that Liu Shuang was the descendant of Wang Ning, and she and Sun Bin were Taoist companions.
"Yes, Elder Liang."
Sun Bin and Liu Shuang readily agreed and withdrew with their three companions.
“I didn’t expect that there is a Tongtian Lingbao in Jiuyang Mountain. The Huang family has such a great opportunity to obtain the Tongtian Lingbao.”
Ye Xue said to herself.
"It's hard to say what you hear from others. According to the time calculation, in another two hundred years, the restrictions of Jiuyang Mountain will enter a period of weakness. We will then go into Jiuyang Mountain to look for them."
Liang Youshan said in a deep voice, with a firm gaze.
Ye Xue nodded and agreed.
······
Off the coast, Ziyue Island.
The door of a secret room suddenly opened, and Han Zhangxiang walked out, his face flushed and his aura much stronger. He had advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
After practicing hard for more than 300 years, Han Zhangxiang successfully advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. This practice speed was not fast. After all, the spiritual veins of Purple Moon Island were only at the third level, and he did not have a large amount of fourth-level elixirs to take, so his practice speed was naturally not fast.
Compared with most Nascent Soul cultivators in the outer sea, Han Zhangxiang's cultivation speed is considered fast. Many Nascent Soul cultivators are stuck in the early Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years, Liang Zhange and Han Chaoyang are examples.
Arriving at the meeting room, Han Zhangxiang took out a red glowing communication disk and typed in a spell. A respectful male voice suddenly sounded: "Grandson Liyi congratulates the clan leader for coming out of seclusion."
Han Zhangxiang was stunned at first, but soon he thought of something and calculated the time. Han Daojing should have passed away. Not only Han Daojing, but many members of the tribe had passed away.
The Tao is ruthless. If Han Zhangxiang had not advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he would have already passed away.
"Liyi, come to my place and tell me about the current situation of the family."
Han Zhangxiang sighed lightly and gave the order.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Less than half a minute later, Han Liyi appeared in front of Han Zhangxiang. He successfully advanced to the Jindan stage.
Han Zhangxiang looked at Han Liyi carefully and sighed: "You have already formed a pill. Time flies! Tell me about the family situation!"
"The family currently has 25 Jindan cultivators, including 18 in the outer sea, 7 in the inner sea, 2 Yuanying cultivators, 700 foundation-building cultivators, and more than 4,000 Qi-refining cultivators. The outer sea controls 36 islands, and the inner sea controls 108 islands."
Han Liyi reported truthfully that whenever a beast tide broke out, there would always be small forces destroyed by the monsters, and a large number of cultivators would become independent cultivators. The Han family took the opportunity to recruit them, and with the help of Ling Xiao Zhenren and Liang Zhange, they occupied more islands and their power grew stronger and stronger.
"By the way, a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared in the Lu family of Black Crow Island, and the Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony was held ten years ago."
Han Liyi remembered something and added.
During the three hundred years, many veteran high-level cultivators passed away one after another. Talented people emerge in every generation. The Lu family is famous for alchemy, so it is not surprising that a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared there.
Forces such as Tinghai Pavilion have successively developed in the outer seas, but they have not been able to achieve anything significant.
The Han family is becoming more and more powerful, although it is not said that the Han family and the Lu family share the Red Algae Islands.
The Han family's development focus is on the open sea, and the Lu family is also very sensible and has not had a direct conflict with the Han family.
"Have Changying and Zhongxin passed away?"
Han Zhangxiang asked the question even though he knew the answer. There was no panacea to prolong life, and they would definitely die.
Han Liyi nodded and said sadly: "They all passed away."
Han Zhongxin has been learning refining equipment from Han Zhangxiang since he was a child. Han Zhangxiang has high hopes for him. He believes that cultivating immortals is like rowing against the current, and he cannot advance to a higher realm, so he can only sit and die.
There are many cultivators with better qualifications than Han Zhongxin. If they cannot advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the only thing waiting for them is to sit in meditation and die.
Han Changming and others have been gone for more than 500 years, and Han Benyong has already passed away.
The Han family relied on Han Benfu and Han Zhangxiang to support the family, and the family development was booming. However, due to the limitation of resources for cultivating immortals, many members of the family passed away one after another.
Han Zhangxiang sighed deeply, then he remembered something and asked, "Any news about Changming and the others?"
"No, the Nangong family didn't send anyone to contact us, but their life soul lamps have not been extinguished."
Han Liyi said truthfully.
Han Zhangxiang asked a few more questions and Han Liyi answered truthfully.
"Go and get busy! Daojing chose you to be the head of the family, so you should do your job well."
Han Zhangxiang gave the order, Han Liyi responded, bowed and left.
Han Zhangxiang left his residence and used the teleportation array to teleport to Haoran City, where he found Master Lingxiao.
True Man Ling Xiao has already entered the late Nascent Soul stage and his alchemy skills are even higher.
After a few simple greetings, Han Zhangxiang said the purpose of his visit: "Fellow Daoist Ling, do you have any news about a magic elixir that can prolong life?"
The panacea for prolonging life is a very precious thing even in Zhongtian Continent, let alone in the open sea.
Ling Xiao Zhenren shook his head and said, "I heard that there is an immortal fruit tree in the Burial of Immortals Ruins, but it is very dangerous there. Zhenren Taiyang and Zhenren Tianjing entered the Burial of Immortals Ruins and never returned. I think they met with disaster."
He also wanted to get the elixir of longevity. Apart from a few forces that had the fruit of immortality, he could only try his luck in dangerous places, and the Burial Ruins of Immortals was one of them.
Zhenren Taiyang and Zhenren Tianjing are both Nascent Soul cultivators who have been famous for many years. They entered the Immortal Burial Ruins to search for treasures and never came out again, which shows that the Immortal Burial Ruins is worthy of its reputation.
After hearing this, Han Zhangxiang let out a long sigh.
"By the way, is there any news about Chang Ming?"
Master Ling Xiao asked about Han Changming's situation. The last time Han Changming contacted them, he was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Han Zhangxiang shook his head and said, "No, but their life soul lamps have not been extinguished. They are probably practicing to improve their cultivation, or they are busy developing the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce."
"There will be a large auction on Sifang Island. It is said that there will be a baby-forming spiritual object. Do you want to go with us?"
Master Ling Xiao remembered something and asked kindly.
"Large-scale auction! Infant-forming spiritual items!"
Han Zhangxiang nodded and asked, "When do we set off?"
It would be best if you could take a picture of a spiritual item that can form a baby. Even if you can't, you can try to contact the Nangong family and ask about the situation of Han Changming and others.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about seven days later?"
"Okay, I'll come see you again in seven days."
Han Zhangxiang agreed, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
······
Baicao Star, deep in Jiuyang Mountain.
In a dense black forest, Han Changming was walking slowly forward, carrying two green swords on his back and holding a white bone spear about ten feet long, with the Amethyst Flying Scorpion leading the way ahead.
Han Changming was dressed in rags, with unkempt hair and a dirty face, looking like a savage.
He had been walking for more than a year and had not yet left the Land of No Spirits. He was unable to recover his magic power. If he had not had enough fasting pills on him, he would probably have starved to death.
A Nascent Soul cultivator was actually starved to death. If this were to get out, people would definitely laugh their heads off.
He had a map, but the map did not show where there was no absolute spiritual energy, and the restrictions had changed, so the map was of little reference value.
Even in the Land of Absolute Spirits, Han Changming still touched the restriction. Fortunately, he discovered the restriction in advance and avoided death. This was also one of the reasons why he could not get out of the Land of Absolute Spirits.
After walking for several months, crossing mountains and rivers, we found a restriction ahead and had to take a detour. We encountered another restriction and had to take a detour again, wasting a lot of time.
Han Changming suddenly stopped. A bubbling swamp appeared in front of him, and a purple miasma filled the sky above the swamp.
Based on his exploration over the past year or so, he knew there must be poisonous insects and animals in the swamp, and the miasma was the most difficult to deal with.
There were many elixirs in the package he was carrying, but he didn't know how long it would take him to get out of here, so he could only use them sparingly, as there might be restrictions.
Han Changming frowned, it seemed that he had to take a detour.
Just then, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion let out a joyful hiss and rushed into the swamp.
