Spring goes and autumn comes, and twenty years have passed quickly.
The Beast Market, Han Mansion.
A secluded green-tiled courtyard with a three-story green attic.
In a guest room, a tall and thin young man with delicate features and dressed in a green shirt was sitting cross-legged on a green cushion with his eyes closed and his hands in a seal.
After a while, the young man in green opened his eyes and let out a breath.
"Fifth level of Qi Refining!"
The young man in green shirt said happily, looking excited.
The family's generation names are Zhengda Guangmingyuan, Wenxun Daodechang, Benduan Zhongyongmao, Zili Shiyanfang, Yilong Renshengxian, Guoxing Zhenjiabang, Guangxin Zhaohongda and Sixu Qiyuanchang. Currently the youngest generation is Chang.
The young man in green is called Han Changsheng, he is thirteen years old and at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He is the descendant of Han Changying and a cultivator with three spiritual roots.
Han Changying found a son-in-law who lived with the family. Up to now, there are thousands of Han Changying's descendants, and these are the people with spiritual roots. There are even more descendants without spiritual roots.
Han Changsheng's parents were both Qi-refining cultivators who followed Han Changming to develop in Zhongtian Continent. Han Changsheng was born in Baishou Market and he has two younger sisters.
Han Changming brought with him a lot of Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators, most of whom had no families. After arriving in Zhongtian Continent, relying on their status as relatives of Master Wanhulu, they were favored by low-level female cultivators and got married and had children.
Han Changming is the president of the Wanhulu Chamber of Commerce. As his natal magic weapon is the Qianyang Gourd, he took the Taoist name Wanhulu Zhenren.
Han Changsheng is a spiritual plant husband who practices wood-attributed skills. He is mainly responsible for planting spiritual grains and regularly goes to the Chamber of Commerce to help.
The Wanhu Chamber of Commerce has now expanded its business scope, and now sells weapons, talismans, formations, elixirs, and puppet beasts, among which elixirs are the most famous.
Han Changsheng stood up, stretched, and walked out.
The streets are crowded with people and traffic, and it is very lively.
Some monks in uniform clothes walked by the street. There was a golden butterfly pattern on their clothes, which was the symbol of the Nangong family in the Golden Butterfly Valley.
"What's going on? There have been a lot of big forces coming recently. Is the market going to hold some grand event?"
"You don't even know this? You are so ignorant. This is the incarnation ceremony of Master Wan Hulu."
"I heard that Master Wan Hulu is a fifth-level alchemist who can refine a variety of fifth-level pills."
······
The monks on the street were talking about it. When Han Changsheng heard them mention Master Wanhulu, his face was filled with pride and he quickened his pace.
Han Mansion, basement.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion, his body enveloped in a yellow glow, his eyes closed.
After a while, a sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of Han Changming.
Han Changming seemed to have noticed something. The yellow glow on his body slowly dissipated and he opened his eyes.
He let out a breath and a look of joy appeared on his face.
The effect of practicing on the fifth-level spiritual vein is indeed good.
After he refined several batches of fifth-grade pills, he went into seclusion to practice.
Calculating the time, the Deification Ceremony is about to be held.
Han Changming grabbed the sound transmission talisman and squeezed it hard. The sound transmission talisman ignited spontaneously, and Ye Xin's voice rang out: "Husband, Daoist Wang is here to visit. He has advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
Wang Changyang had already advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and Han Changming did not find it strange.
He invited many guests to attend his deification ceremony, and Wang Changyang was among them.
Wang Changyang is an equipment refiner who can refine spiritual treasures in the Nascent Soul stage. After not seeing him for many years, his equipment refining skills must be even higher. He should be able to help Han Changming repair the Golden Flame Furnace.
Han Changming walked out, and Ye Xin and Ye Xue sat in the stone pavilion chatting.
"Madam, has Fellow Daoist Wang arrived? Where are Fellow Daoist Nangong and the others?"
Han Changming asked.
"They are all here. Fellow Daoist Ma from Xuanyang Sect is here too. Oh, and Fellow Daoist Song from Baicao Star is here too. He has also advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He is here to participate in the All-Spirits Conference. He heard that you advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so he came to celebrate."
Ye Xin said truthfully that the Han family's influence had not yet extended beyond Baicao Star, and they did not have that much face. When Song Yufeng learned that Han Changming was going to hold a God Transformation Ceremony, he came uninvited.
"Contact Fellow Daoist Wang and invite him to the Han residence. I will have a good chat with him."
Han Changming instructed that during the time he was in seclusion for cultivation, Ye Xin and Ye Xue would be responsible for taking care of clan affairs.
Ye Xin responded, took out the communication disk and contacted Wang Changyang, and soon received a reply that Wang Changyang would be here soon.
"Husband, our family has grown a lot in population, and we have opened a few new stores. Take a look."
Ye Xue handed a thick account book to Han Changming.
After years of development, the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce has more than 700 people, most of whom are cultivators of different surnames. Han Changming brought more than 200 people, and the expansion was even faster.
In addition to the Beast Market, the Han family also sent personnel to other markets to set up branches, mainly to sell elixirs.
Han Changming took the account book, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Did Changqing go to Wanlingfang Market?"
Ye Xue nodded and said, "Well, he opened a medicine store in Wanlingfang City, selling fourth-level medicines, and the business is pretty good."
Wanling Market is the largest market on Xuanyang Star. All the prominent forces have opened shops in Wanling Market to do business and collect resources for cultivating immortals. The Han family is no exception.
Han Changju and Han Benfu are in charge of the Baishou Market, which is enough to handle the business of Wanhulou. Han Changqing brought a group of people to the Wanling Market to open a store, and the business is pretty good.
Han Changming asked about the family's situation over the years, and Ye Xue answered truthfully.
There were more than 200 tribesmen, including one Jindan cultivator, more than 40 foundation-building cultivators, and more than 100 additional tribesmen. After arriving in Zhongtian Continent, some of the tribesmen could not resist the temptation of the world of pleasure and became decadent, indulging in pleasure, eating, drinking, and having fun, and taking wives and concubines.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue scolded them several times, but they were still the same, so they just turned a blind eye as long as they did not violate the clan rules. Everything has its pros and cons. These clan members were addicted to pleasure, taking wives and concubines, and the family did not encourage this kind of trend, but it was precisely because of the existence of these people that the number of cultivators in the family would continue to grow.
If every member of the clan is an ascetic, wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, and does not consider romantic relationships, it will be difficult for the number of Han family cultivators to increase.
"We need to catch a few typical cases and punish them severely. They are like this when they first arrive in Zhongtian Continent. They can marry wives and concubines, but some of the tribesmen are too outrageous."
Han Changming frowned and said that one of the tribesmen actually had one wife and sixteen concubines, and he married a female cultivator almost every year.
Han Changming would not care if there were several thousand immortal cultivators, but his family currently had only more than three hundred people, more than fifty of whom were addicted to beauty, and there were more than twenty members with one wife and ten concubines.
This is not surprising. When they were in the outer sea, with their status, it was difficult for them to have one wife and two concubines. But when they arrived at Zhongtian Continent, they transformed themselves into relatives of Master Wanhulu, and naturally attracted many female monks to throw themselves into their arms.
Han Changming decided to punish a few typical cases, otherwise this evil trend would be unstoppable.
"Husband, forget it! They didn't break the clan rules, and we are short of manpower at the moment."
Ye Xin suggested this, she was considering that the family needed manpower. It would take more than 20 years to travel from Zhongtian Continent to the outer sea and back, and a Divine Transformation cultivator would be required to lead the team, otherwise it would be troublesome if they encountered a fifth-level monster.
"No, we must deal with some typical cases. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Han Changming's tone was firm. Several of these people were his descendants. If he sat back and did nothing, they might make big mistakes in the future.
Liu Shuang's voice came from outside: "Madam, Senior Wang is here."
"Please invite Brother Wang in."
Han Changming ordered.
Liu Shuang responded and left.
Not long after, Wang Changyang and Yang Yunqing walked in, and Liu Shuang followed behind Wang Changyang.
