Chapter 250: Saving People
It wasn't until Han Bing lived in the guest room for nearly a month that Ke Qiang finally couldn't help but come to the door, just as Han Bing expected, he wanted Han Bing to help refine the two Huazun Pills on behalf of the sect.
Han Bing did not refuse, and a few days later he handed over the two Transformation Venerable Pills to him, Ke Qiang was overjoyed, and proposed that Han Bing be the honorary elder of the Purple Dao Sect.
Han Bing hesitated for a moment about the olive branch thrown by the Purple Dao Sect, and said that he should think more about it. Then he said goodbye to Ke Qiang, saying that he wanted to go to the mainland alone.
Ke Qiang was inconvenient to stop him, so he personally sent him out of the sect and sent him to an official road far away from the sect.
"Brother Han, I'm waiting for you to come back in the Purple Dao Sect. Ke Qiang looked at Han Bing's departing back, and said loudly with his fists clenched.
"Will be back. Han Bing turned around and smiled, he naturally wanted to come back, after all, Liu Yue and they were still on the other side of the teleportation array.
Leaving the Purple Dao Sect, Han Bing soon walked along the official road in front of him towards the northeast, holding the Soul Devouring Staff wrapped in black cloth in his hand, walking and walking, his appearance gradually became no longer young, wrinkles slowly appeared at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and at the same time, white whiskers began to grow on his chin, and gradually, he changed from a handsome young man to an old man who looked weak.
Even the Soul Eater Staff in his hand, under his deliberate blindfolding, turned into a black wooden cane, and the breath of his whole body converged, like a mortal old man, slowly walking on the official road, gradually blending into the lively flow of people.
At the stalls in the bazaar, Han Bing bought some jade slips and scrolls, all of which were about the distribution and geographical introduction of the various forces of the Red Mountain Star. Through this information, Han Bing had a general understanding of the relationship between various forces.
There is no regional division of countries on the Red Mountain Star, and the entire continent is divided by the large and small sects and the Xiuzhen family, in which, the strength of the royal family is a well-deserved boss, and the royal family has a strong ability to control the entire Xiuzhen Star.
However, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are disputes, not to mention the monks who urgently need the resources to cultivate the truth, so although the situation is peaceful on the surface, in reality there is an undercurrent in the interior.
Take the Snow Sect, which is second only to the royal family in terms of comprehensive strength, has always been competing with the royal family, and most monks know this, after all, the Snow Sect is strong, and although the royal family is dissatisfied, it has not yet been able to eradicate it.
Some of the remaining sects and Xiuzhen families naturally involve a question of taking sides, such as the Thunder Sect and the Flame Sect, which are ranked third and fourth in strength, are on the side of the royal family.
Although there are many sects that support the royal family, there are not a few who support the Snow Sect. The difference in overall strength between the two sides is not very huge.
The Purple Dao Sect, ranked fifth in strength, maintained a relatively neutral attitude, but when it came to the many monks within the Purple Dao Sect, they were faintly divided into two factions, both those who were inclined to the royal family and those who supported the Snow Sect. Nowhere is this divergence more evident than at the level of elders.
According to Han Bing's observations in the Purple Dao Sect in the past month, Ke Qiang should be more inclined to support the Snow Sect, and it may be because of this that his attitude towards Han Bing is much more amiable than that of other elders.
The more Han Bing got to know each other, the more he became interested in this Snow Sect. In his hand, there was a map of the continent, which Ke Qiang gave to him before leaving.
The direction in which Han Bing traveled was towards the center of the continent, which was the core area of the imperial family, and further north, he could go all the way to the territory of the Snow Sect.
Han Bing walked all the way down the street, and when he passed by the pill pharmacy, he would also go in to take a look, most of the pills sold in these shops were below the fourth grade, and occasionally there were a small number of five-grade pills, and the sixth-grade pills would not appear in ordinary stores, and even if they were, they would only appear in large auction venues, and the price would be extremely high.
Han Bing heard a junior in the store say that a Huazun Pill was sold to a sky-high price of 20,000 top-grade spirit stones at last year's royal auction, and when he heard this price, Han Bing was shocked in his heart, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones, that is 2 million top-grade spirit stones, which is almost 20 times the cost of refining.
Han Bing refined a Huazun Pill for the royal family on Dongchen Star, and on the basis of the other party's own materials, he charged 4,000 top-grade spirit stones, and not long ago, he refined two Huazun Dan for Ke Qiang, which also referred to this price, in his opinion, this price was already extremely high, and now it seems that he still underestimated the preciousness of Huazun Dan in Hongshan Star.
In the center of the bazaar, Han Bing saw a trading house that rented out flying beasts, and after a little groaning, he handed over some spirit stones and rented a lion eagle beast.
Renting flying beasts is also divided into several levels, and depending on the price, you can choose different flying beasts, and the lion eagle beast that Han Bing rented, except for the pilot, only took him alone.
With the Lion Eagle Beast traveling, Han Bing was much easier, the purpose of his trip was the imperial city in the center of the continent.
The Lion Eagle Beast was huge, and a pergola for two people was set up on its back, and Han Bing sat in it, and on the head of the beast, there was a middle-aged woman, who was the driver.
The woman's skin is slightly dark, perhaps because of years of sun exposure, and her cultivation is not high, only in the early stage of soul deficiency.
"Guest, sit down, there is a turbulence in front of you. Ahead, there was a gentle reminder from the woman. After speaking, under the wave of her sleeve robe, a faint protective layer opened, enveloping the pergola.
In her opinion, Han Bing is a mortal, this, she is not unusual, experienced and experienced pilots are here, mortals can also ride flying beasts, and it is not as dangerous as imagined, and more than half of the business volume of her business comes from mortals.
Han Bing's divine sense reached out, and about two hundred zhang away from the front of the Lion Eagle Beast, a powerful air current swirled, stirring a large number of stumps and rotten leaves in it.
The middle-aged woman sitting on the head of the beast gradually showed a solemn look on her face, this turbulence was a little big, and after a little hesitation, she controlled the lion eagle beast to land on the ground quickly, waiting for the turbulence to pass.
The place where the griffin beast landed was under a barren hillside, and by this time, four or five flying beasts had gathered here, all of them to escape the turbulence. These people, the highest cultivation is a few drivers in the Soul Void Stage and the Late Enlightenment Period, and the passengers are basically mortals.
The middle-aged woman jumped off the back of the beast and shouted at Han Bing: "Guest officer, you can also come down and rest for a while, as soon as this storm passes, we will continue to hurry, and we will definitely not delay your trip." ”
Han Bing nodded, stood on crutches, stepped off the beast's back, and sat on a stone to rest, his divine sense was still paying attention to the turbulence in the distance, he had already seen clearly that this turbulence was man-made, not a natural weather phenomenon.
In the midst of the turbulence, there were clearly two monks fighting, and the cultivation of these two monks had reached the late stage of the Transformation Yuan. It's just that because of the long distance and the disturbance of turbulence, these drivers and passengers with low cultivation in front of them can't find out.
"This air flow is a little weird, I haven't seen it move!" someone wondered after a long time.
"Why don't we get around it?"
"It's better to wait for safety, because turbulence is usually unstable and can shift at any time, and if you can't avoid it, you can hurt someone. Someone else said. As soon as this person's words fell, he suddenly heard a loud bang and a burst of fire.
This loud noise and firelight came from the airflow, and in the firelight, two figures burst out in opposite directions, both of them looked a little embarrassed, and the direction of one of the figures was clearly towards the small mountain where Han Bing was.
At this time, people realized that this air flow was caused by spell fluctuations, and those low-level monks were shocked one by one.
"Be careful. The middle-aged woman exclaimed, took a few steps back, pulled up Han Bing's figure and jumped up, and landed a hundred zhang away, and the others also dispersed, hiding behind the obstacle and looking carefully.
Han Bing smiled dumbly, this middle-aged woman is extremely responsible, and she can still think of protecting her customers at this time.
With a bang, the flying figure landed heavily on the top of the mountain, and a few rolled down, just staying where Han Bing and the others had just stayed, and Han Bing saw that it was a woman in green.
The woman in green spit out a few mouthfuls of blood one after another, stood up with her sword in her arms, her hair was messy, her clothes were torn in many places, and even the smell of burnt paste was emitted in some places.
"Ice monk!" Han Bing's eyes lit up, he felt the ice aura emanating from the woman in green, in this strange place, he happened to meet an ice monk, for Han Bing, he suddenly had a sense of intimacy.
It didn't take long for the sound of breaking the sky in the distance, and a long rainbow flew in, it was another monk in the late Huayuan period, this person was a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man, who was also injured at this time, but his condition was better than that of the woman in green.
"It's royal!" the middle-aged woman squatted down and whispered.
"The royal family?" Han Bing looked at the middle-aged man, on his chest, there was a sign with a crown painted on it, it seemed that this should be the symbol of the Red Mountain Star royal family.
The middle-aged man of the royal family flickered and landed not far in front of the woman in green. His gaze swept over Han Bing and the others not far away, but he soon stopped paying attention, he stared at the woman in green, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't blame me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, since ancient times, spies who steal intelligence will not end well, and since it is planted in my hands today, I can only do business and take you back, if you continue to resist, I will not be polite. ”
After speaking, he walked towards the woman step by step with a gloomy face, and some blood dripped down the blade from the long sword in his right hand. The woman in green took a few steps back, her face was pale, and she was about to speak, but a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth, and in the retreat, one of them stood unsteadily, tripped and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, what a beautiful face, it's a pity. The smug look on the man's face became even stronger, and his gaze swept over the woman unscrupulously, and a hint of obscenity and evil gradually appeared in his eyes.
He raised his left hand and grabbed the woman in the air, the woman screamed, and was about to be caught by him, but at this moment, his whole body was shocked, and he screamed, on the palm of his left hand, I don't know when, a sharp ice needle penetrated.
"Who?" the man's face changed abruptly, and his figure jumped up, looking around.
The woman in green was also stunned, just now, she clearly felt a faint fluctuation of ice spells, but she couldn't trace the source of this aura.
Hundreds of zhang away, Han Bing was silent, his fingers hidden in his sleeve robe moved slightly, and a small ice needle shot out again.
With a crisp sound, the middle-aged man blocked the ice needle with his sword a foot away from him, but in the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes bulged, his body was light, he fell from mid-air, and soon lost his breath, and a slender hole appeared on the steel knife that landed beside him.
