Spring goes and autumn comes, and a hundred years pass quickly.
Zhongtian Continent, Ten Thousand Gourd Forest.
Decades ago, Master Wan Hulu and many other incarnation monks joined forces to destroy the high-level poisonous insects in the Thousand Spider Forest. The Thousand Spider Forest was renamed the Wan Hulu Forest, and the Han family monks settled here.
The Han family monks removed most of the poisonous trees and flowers, planted a large number of gourd vines, and established a market.
In the northwest corner of Wanhulin, there is a huge valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Outside the valley stands a green stone tablet more than ten feet high, on which are engraved three large golden characters "Wanhu Valley" in a vigorous and powerful manner.
This is a market town jointly established by the Han family and the Wang family. Eighty percent of the profits go to the Han family, and twenty percent go to the Wang family. This is a secret and outsiders do not know about it.
Wanhu Valley mainly sells elixirs, and the Wanhu Chamber of Commerce has also moved to Wanhu Valley. However, the Han family has personnel in many markets to collect resources for cultivating immortals.
The Zhongtian Continent is rich in resources for cultivating immortals, and the Han family has developed rapidly. The low-level cultivators of the Han family have married and had children, and at the same time have absorbed independent cultivators. There are already more than 5,000 cultivators in the family, 80% of whom are cultivators of the Han family, and 20% are cultivators from other families.
Han Changming has a wide circle of friends. After Wanhulu Valley was established, the Wang family sent many experts to settle in and opened a weapon shop to sell magical weapons. The Wang family also persuaded relatives and old friends to do business in Wanhulu Valley. Forces such as the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance established branches in Wanhulu Valley for Han Changming's sake.
After years of development, Wanhu Valley's business is pretty good. Occasionally, there are fifth-grade elixirs for sale, which has attracted a large number of cultivators. However, there is still a big gap compared with large markets such as Wanling Market.
In Wanhu Valley, the streets are wide and clean, with shops lining both sides. The waiters are shouting hard to attract customers.
"Don't miss this year's wine if you pass by."
"Come and take a look at the newly arrived magic weapons, including flying, auxiliary and attack."
"The Black Dew Robe we brewed this year has the effect of concentrating the mind and soul. Drinking a cup before practicing can help you quickly enter a state of concentration and practice. In addition to the Black Dew Robe, we also have other spiritual teas, all of which are new this year."
······
Tianhulu, the largest teahouse in Wanhulu Valley, is managed by the Han family themselves.
On the seventh floor, a private room.
Han Changsheng and more than twenty other Jindan cultivators were drinking tea, chatting and laughing.
A young woman in a red dress with skin as white as snow sat next to Han Changsheng. The woman had her hair combed into fairy-like buns, delicate facial features, willow-shaped eyebrows, and watery almond eyes. She wore no makeup.
Han Changsheng has entered the Jindan stage. In addition to his own efforts, the help of his family is also important to his advancement to the Jindan stage.
After he reached the great perfection of foundation building, the family directly rewarded him with two spiritual objects for forming the core, allowing him to reach the core stage. If it were in the outer sea, it would not be certain, after all, there are too many foundation building cultivators in the outer sea.
Han Changsheng is a third-rank alchemist. His family's pillar industries in the outer sea are puppet beasts and magic weapons, and their pillar industries in Zhongtian Continent are elixirs.
Han Changming also intends to train a few more high-level alchemists and increase the training efforts for alchemists.
The main ingredients for alchemy in the outer sea are mostly demon pills, while the main ingredients for alchemy in the Zhongtian Continent are mostly spiritual medicines. Thousand-year-old spiritual medicines are relatively rare in the outer sea, but in the Zhongtian Continent, as long as you are willing to spend spirit stones, three-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines can be bought.
Relying on the strong support of his family, Han Changsheng had a large amount of materials for him to make pills, and he successfully became a third-rank alchemist. Under the arrangement of his family, Han Changsheng and Wang Yuhong, a female cultivator from the Wang family, became a dual cultivation partner.
Han Changsheng is a third-level alchemist, and Wang Yuhong is a third-level weapon refiner. The couple is very loving.
Han Changming has not appeared in public for more than a hundred years. This is normal. Most high-level cultivators are in seclusion for cultivation, and Nascent Soul cultivators such as Han Benfu rarely appear.
"Fellow Daoist Han, it's settled. Our Li family awaits your arrival."
A gentleman in a golden shirt smiled and said that he was from the Li family and he invited Han Changsheng and Wang Yuhong to visit the Li family to deepen his friendship with them.
"It's a deal. We will be there on time."
Han Changsheng agreed with a smile.
After chatting for half an hour, the monks went back to their homes.
After leaving Wanhu Valley, Han Changsheng raised his right hand and a green light flew out. It turned out to be a flying boat with green light. There was a pattern of a green sun engraved on the surface, emitting an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation. It was actually a mid-grade flying magic weapon.
It is not uncommon for Jindan cultivators to possess mid-grade flying magic weapons in Zhongtian Continent. If it were in the outer sea, only elite disciples from major forces would have this privilege.
Han Changsheng and Wang Yuhong flew onto the green flying boat. He made a pinch of his hand and the green flying boat suddenly emitted a green light, then turned into a green light that broke through the air and disappeared into the sky.
After a cup of tea, the green flying boat stopped. In front of it was a desolate mountain range with sparse vegetation and no buildings.
Han Changsheng took out a square green token with a gourd pattern on it. After injecting magic power into it, the green token suddenly lit up, emitting a green light that hit the void.
A ripple appeared in the void, and a water wave spread out in the void, and a white light curtain emerged.
Before long, a lush mountain range appeared before them, full of spiritual energy.
Under the white light curtain, there are many peaks competing for beauty, towering ancient trees, rugged rocks, and birds and beasts.
Among the peaks, you can see pavilions and palaces. There are palaces floating in the void, attics built on cliffs, gardens built in huge valleys, and waterside pavilions located on lakes.
A large number of Han family disciples were flying in the sky, either flying instruments, driving spiritual birds, or casting spells. Among them was a majestic peak that was tens of thousands of feet high. The peak was covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the spiritual energy was thick like fog, giving it the aura of a fairyland.
After years of renovation by the Han family, this place has changed.
Han Changsheng made a hand gesture and the green flying boat flew towards the emerald green mountains ahead.
"Hey, what kind of aura is this? It's so strange!"
Wang Yuhong sniffed a few times and found a strange smell in the air.
Han Changsheng also smelled the scent, but he couldn't identify it, so he said, "Maybe it's a newly cultivated spiritual flower!"
At this moment, bursts of beast roars sounded, and a large number of spirit beasts and birds became irritable. The beasts roared and the birds chirped, and they seemed to be trying to break away from the control of their masters.
Han Changsheng and Wang Yuhong looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea why this situation had occurred.
There was a deafening thunder from the sky, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, a huge black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, silver lightning emerged from the black cloud, and lightning snakes danced wildly.
Gusts of strong wind whistled past, and the tribesmen in mid-air swayed left and right, as if they were about to fall from the air.
The black thunderclouds rolled violently, like tens of thousands of unbridled horses running across the sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"No one is allowed to approach Thousand Insect Peak within 50 miles. Violators will be severely punished."
A majestic male voice suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the world.
Wanhu Peak, the mountain where Han Changming lives.
Han Changming stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the thunderclouds in the distance with a serious look.
It is time for the Amethyst Flying Scorpion to reach level five. Over the years, it has devoured the inner cores of a large number of poisonous insects and beasts, as well as a lot of poisonous herbs of high age.
As long as it survives the thunder tribulation, it can advance to the fifth level.
