Wang Changyang was somewhat surprised. The congratulatory gift sent by the Cao Clan was even more valuable than the Wang Clan's.
Fang Yuruo, Ma Yan, Ouyang Lin, Nangong Yuefeng, and Qian Yin were all dumbfounded, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.
Thousand Spirits Planet was far from Mysterious Sun Planet, and they had never heard of any dealings between the Cao Clan and the Han Clan. Even if there had been dealings, this congratulatory gift was far too valuable!
Ma Yan's feelings were complicated. It was one thing for Qian Yin to send a congratulatory gift to the Han Clan, but what was going on with the Cao Clan?
For the Cao Clan to send such a valuable gift, the Han Clan had to be worth it. If someone said it was because of Han Changming, Ma Yan would not believe it.
Fang Yuruo, Nangong Yuefeng, Qian Yin, and Han Changming were all fifth-rank alchemists, and they had not entered the Spirit Transformation stage long ago. There were quite a few fifth-rank alchemists on Mysterious Sun Planet more skilled than them. That meant there was a high-level cultivator backing the Han Clan. The Cao Clan was showing respect to that high-level cultivator, not the Han Clan.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Cao Yundong felt rather pleased. This lavish gift had not been sent in vain.
Han Changming frowned slightly. He could understand Cao Yundong wanting to curry favor with him, but sending such a hefty congratulatory gift before so many people—any fool could tell something was unusual.
Either Han Changming could refine top-grade pills, or some mighty figure stood behind the Han Clan. Comparatively speaking, the latter was easier to believe.
No matter what, once a lie was told, countless more lies had to be concocted to cover it up.
