When he was born, there were only a few foundation-building cultivators in the family, and there were not many cultivators in the clan. Later, the older generations passed away one after another. Han Zhangxiang took on the responsibility of the family and helped the family overcome several crises. He himself was also poisoned, and due to delayed treatment, he was unable to eliminate the residual poison in his body.
Han Changming and others grew up one after another and helped to dissolve the residual poison in Han Zhangxiang's body. Later, Han Changming refined the golden elixir and jade liquid, and Han Zhangxiang successfully entered the Jindan stage.
They went to the open sea to develop, and the family continued to grow and develop. Later, Han Changming and four others disappeared one after another, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Han Zhangxiang had to take on the responsibility of the family again and train the young members of the family. Later, a war between humans and demons broke out, and Han Zhangxiang led the team to fight.
Recalling this, Han Zhangxiang felt mixed emotions.
The Dao is ruthless. All the clan members of the same generation as him had died long ago, and all his close nephews and nieces had also died. The generation gap between him and other clan members was too big, and many of them had only met a few times.
Han Zhongxin, whom he raised with his own hands, failed to conceive and has passed away. Only Han Changming and a few others are close to him. The other tribesmen are very distant in front of Han Zhangxiang and cannot get close to him.
Among the "Chang" generation, Han Zhangxiang is optimistic about many people, including Han Changying, Han Changwu, and Han Changyan. Their contributions to the family are not as great as Han Changming, but they have also devoted their entire lives to the family.
They have already passed away, and have many descendants.
"I have finally become a god, Changming. Thank you very much. Without you, I would have passed away."
Han Zhangxiang said gratefully. If it weren't for Han Changming, according to the lifespan of the Nascent Soul stage, he would have passed away long ago.
Ye Xue, Ye Xin, Han Benfu, Han Zhangxiang, Han Debiao, Liang Youshan, Han Changming, Lingxiao Zhenren, and Han Chaoyang all took the elixir of immortality, which extended their lifespans by 600 years. Even in the Zhongtian Continent, it is not easy to obtain elixirs such as the True Soul Pill.
"We are family, the clan leader is too polite. Maybe I will have to rely on you in the future!"
Han Changming said modestly, he remembered something and said: "Patriarch, let's hold a celebration! A grand celebration."
Han Changming's incarnation ceremony was held in the Hundred Beasts Market. The Hundred Beasts Market was the territory of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. Now it is different. With their own territory, they can hold a grand celebration to expand their influence and attract more forces to join them.
They have been in Zhongtian Continent for more than a hundred years. The Han family has five more Nascent Soul cultivators, and there are more than seven thousand cultivators in the clan.
"We need to take good care of it. Just leave this matter to Fang Yuan. Let's focus on cultivation."
Han Zhangxiang agreed and after chatting for a few minutes, he said goodbye and left. He needed to spend time consolidating his cultivation.
Han Changming urged the Golden Eyed True Child to look towards the square where Han Fangyuan and the others were, and ordered: "Fangyuan, come to my place, I have something to tell you."
Han Changming's voice was not loud, but it echoed over the square.
Transmitting sound over a thousand miles is a magical power that can only be performed by a Jindan cultivator. The consciousness of a Yuanying cultivator is simply unable to detect such a distance, let alone transmit sound to cultivators outside the range of the consciousness.
Han Fangyuan was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, bowed in the direction of Han Changming's residence, and agreed.
"Long Yan, you guys entertain the guests. I'm going to take care of something."
Han Fangyuan gave some instructions and turned into a beam of light, flying towards Han Changming's residence.
After a while, he landed above Han Changming's residence, and Han Changming had already removed the ban.
"Come in! No need for formalities."
Han Changming ordered.
Han Fangyuan responded and flew in front of Han Changming.
"The clan leader has entered the God Transformation Stage. How many Nascent Soul cultivators are there in the clan now? How many clan members are there? How many stores have we opened? How is business? Have we encountered any troubles?"
Han Changming raised several questions.
"In reply to the ancestor, we currently have ten Nascent Soul cultivators in our clan, and the Merchant Alliance has two Nascent Soul cultivators, namely Sun Bin and Liu Shuang. There are more than 7,300 cultivators in our clan, 135 Jindan cultivators, and 212 shops, most of which are medicine shops, followed by weapon shops. Business is pretty good, and we haven't encountered any problems."
Han Fangyuan reported truthfully that the Han family did not control any rare resources, so there was no need for big forces to go against the Han family, and small forces could not afford to offend the Han family.
The rise of the Han family squeezed the living space of those middle-class forces, and they could only give up some of their interests.
At present, the Han family has not offended any major forces, but it is inevitable that they will become enemies with some forces. It is impossible not to offend any force.
The Han family's elixirs are quite famous. It's not that you can't buy top-quality elixirs elsewhere, but the Han family has fifth-grade elixirs for sale. Every hundred or eighty years, selling some fifth-grade elixirs is enough to attract those Nascent Soul cultivators and God Transformation cultivators.
There are not many fifth-level alchemists on Xuanyang Star, and Han Changming is one of them. This is the advantage of the Han family.
Han Changming nodded and ordered: "The clan leader's advancement to the God Transformation Stage must be celebrated in a big way. You order that a God Transformation Ceremony be held ten years later and invite friendly forces to participate!"
"Yes, Ancestor Changming."
Han Fangyuan agreed. Since the generation gap was too big, the younger generation addressed him as ancestor plus his name.
Taking Han Changming and several others as examples, the clan members with a huge generation gap call Han Changming "Ancestor Changming", Ye Xin "Ancestor Ye Xin", Han Benfu "Ancestor Benfu", and Han Debiao "Ancestor Debiao".
Han Zhangxiang is better, and is uniformly called the clan leader.
This shows the difference from the immortal cultivation sects. The cultivators in the immortal cultivation sects are at a higher level in cultivation. They address the same master or grandmaster according to their seniority. Otherwise, they address each other differently based on the level of their cultivation!
Some members of the Han family have low cultivation levels but are of a high generation, but it still depends on their cultivation levels. If the difference in cultivation levels is too big, members of a lower generation may not necessarily give face to members of a higher generation.
The family advocates respecting the elderly and loving the young, but not every member of the family complies with it. Imagine that a member of the family with ordinary qualifications, after his own efforts, finally advances to the Jindan stage, but has to call a member of the family who is a hundred or even several hundred years younger than him uncle.
If they were to be severely punished, it would somewhat dampen the clan members' enthusiasm for cultivation; if they were to ignore it, it would encourage this unhealthy trend. As long as they did not go too far, the family would turn a blind eye.
You can't just say that if you don't greet the elders, you will be severely punished! Some monks are eccentric, or some elders are difficult to get along with, so it is understandable that they don't greet them.
Some elders in the clan are disrespectful and do things that are too extreme, so they cannot gain the respect of the clan members. As long as they are not too excessive, the family will turn a blind eye.
"By the way, who's getting married today?"
Han Changming asked casually.
"It's Long Yan. He has the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire. He has already formed a pill and is going to marry the descendant of Li Tianzhe."
Han Fangyuan replied truthfully.
Han Changming nodded and let him go.
