Mysterious Sun Planet, Ten Thousand Gourd Forest.
A blue streak of light appeared on the distant horizon, moving at a fairly rapid speed.
Before long, the blue streak came to a halt. As its light faded, it revealed a flying boat shimmering with shifting blue radiance. Han Changming and the other five stood aboard it.
"We're finally back."
Han Changming let out a relieved breath. He needed to advance to the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible; that would spare him some trouble.
By rights, it would be best to attempt the breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage in Ten Thousand Gourd Forest. However, Han Changming's fame had soared, and other factions would surely have their eyes on Ten Thousand Gourd Forest. If high-ranking cultivators came looking for trouble while he was attempting his breakthrough, Han Changming would certainly fail.
The greatest taboo when breaking through a major realm was interference from outsiders. Han Changming planned to choose a safe place. Before that, he needed to inform the clan leader, Han Zhangxiang.
On the way back, Zhao Zongyu had given Han Changming a defensive Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, the Glazed Glass Umbrella, which Han Changming could use during his attempt to reach the Void Refinement stage.
Before long, they returned to Ten Thousand Gourd Forest.
Han Changming immediately sought out Han Zhangxiang and briefly explained what had happened.
"What? You took first place at the Heavenly Pill Convention!"
Han Zhangxiang froze, his face full of disbelief.
He knew Han Changming could refine top-grade pills, but his pill success rate was not high. Being able to refine top-grade pills from three batches of ingredients was indeed remarkable.
Everything had its pros and cons. Han Changming had refused to join another major faction and remained with the clan, which greatly pleased Han
