Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

Yuan Yingtuan straightened his body again, as if something inside him was wriggling, helping him to repair his form.

A murderous aura emanated from the bloody gash on his neck, quickly dispelling the lingering sword energy and spreading it out smoothly.

So the skin and flesh grew back, leaving no trace.

After the evil spirit inside him finished doing everything, it slowly disappeared, silently vanishing from his body.

After Yuan Yingtuan finished doing all this, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually became clear.

Not only had he shed his hazy, ignorant state, but his demeanor was also completely different from his usual self.

His face no longer looked sickly and eerie, but rather rosy, making him look more like a living person.

Yuan Yingtuan's expression changed, as if he remembered something, a trace of fear and embarrassment flashed across his face, and finally settled on the relief of surviving the ordeal.

He looked down at his body, his expression not good, and muttered to himself.

"The techniques passed down in this family, the 'Chang Gui Zuan Sha Jing', are indeed missing a great deal, resulting in such severe aftereffects..."

"It's not noticeable in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, but once you reach the late stage, it's as if the person has been possessed by the evil spirit that has been cultivated within their body, and they lose all consciousness."

"I consumed too much blood energy in order to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. The evil spirit that was transformed from the evil energy in my body was too powerful. It actually took over my duties for so long, making me feel like I was under a spell, my mind was confused, and I couldn't even control my own body. It even devoured my blood relatives."

"If it weren't for the recent turn of events, which caused that ghost to exhaust itself trying to preserve this body and weaken it, allowing me to regain control of the body, I'm afraid I would never have woken up again."

Seeing that there were no corpses left around, the elders of the Yuan family all entered their own stomachs and turned into several Nourishing Qi Pills.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yingtuan's face immediately darkened.

No one in the family has ever reached the late stage of Qi Refining, so they are unaware of the mysteries in the "Chang Gui Zan Sha Jing" (Scripture of the Ghostly Encirclement and Killing). There is nothing they can do about it now.

But Yuan Yingtuan was not, after all, a clan cultivator who was devoted to his family.

Now that things have come to this, it is clear that what is done is done and there is no way to change it. The Yuan family has lost most of its Qi Refining cultivators and is now only a name in name only.

Instead, I felt calmer and stopped thinking about it.

As he felt his body, he recalled something and understood the purpose of the possessed ghost.

"This vengeful spirit originally intended to use my body to lure the entire Yuan family here, then wipe them all out, thus fulfilling his purpose of luring the tiger. Once he had enough malevolent energy, he could use the Foundation Building Technique of 'Accumulating Malevolent Energy' to cultivate a foundation for immortality."

"This method of seeking enlightenment is feasible. It involves consuming blood and evil spirits and choosing to devour one's own relatives, which fits the image of the 'Accumulated Evil Spirit Body'. However, if I were to build my foundation in this way, I would probably not have a chance of survival. The one who would take over this body would be that 'Chang Gui' that has already cultivated."

This [Zan Sha Body] is also one of the immortal foundations that can be formed by the "Chang Gui Zan Sha Scripture".

Both the "Chang Gui Zuan Sha Jing" and the "Yu Hu Ge Xi Jing" originate from an ancient method, and the foundation upon which they are built is uncertain.

Although ancient methods often involve emptiness and enlightenment, not everyone is a cultivator with outstanding talent.

Many ancient cultivators followed the established methods recorded by their predecessors, which is similar to the precursor of the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao.

A cultivator who practices the "Chang Gui Zan Sha Jing" will have a very fast cultivation speed once they consume blood evil, but they will also accumulate evil energy in their body and give birth to a Chang Gui.

This ghost is peculiar; it can be driven by cultivators, but it can also find opportunities to replace them.

Unlike the foundation-building method of "Feeding the Tiger", this method of "Accumulating the Killing Body" does not involve feeding the tiger with one's own body to survive a near-death experience.

Instead, one must imitate the evil spirits, luring people and tigers to devour them, absorbing their malevolent energy, and finally nurturing it within one's own body to generate wondrous uses.

Yuan Yingtuan paused and thought for a moment.

"But this ghost never expected that Han Jieliu of the Han family would possess such a high-grade magic weapon, which rendered it completely immobile, causing it to fall under Han Jinwei's sword."

"By reviving this body, letting it wear down and fall into silence, I managed to escape by faking my death, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

"Not only did I break free from this ghost's control and reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment, but I also achieved the vision of 'Feeding the Tiger,' meaning I have ways to obtain both Immortal Foundations..."

His cultivation aura grew stronger and stronger, and he had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining after consuming three Nourishing Qi Pills, having previously reached the eighth level.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yingtuan felt a sense of gratitude towards Han Jieliu in front of him.

Han Jieliu watched as Yuan Yingtuan's expression changed, as if he had become a different person. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and combined with his previous actions, he realized something.

"Yuan Yingtuan died and came back to life. I don't know what he went through, but even his temperament seems to have changed. It must have been something that happened, which surprised even himself."

"And now his cultivation has advanced even further. The so-called Foundation Establishment method requires imitating and harmonizing with the imagery through actions. After being killed by the patriarch's sword, he recovered and his cultivation has even advanced. Could it be that he harmonized with the imagery of the Immortal Foundation [Feeding the Tiger] and escaped from death?"

If Han Jinwei's guess is correct, then Yuan Yingtuan leading the Yuan family here is one image, and now their rebirth after death is another.

"But these two things aren't related, yet... are they two different images?"

"The new method cannot have two foundations for seeking. The 'Chang Gui Zan Sha Jing' and the 'Yu Hu Ge Xi Jing' can only be derived from the ancient method."

Before Han Jieliu could think any further, Han Jinwei's voice transmission suddenly appeared in his ears.

"This Yuan Yingtuan is strange; he seems to have reverted to his old ways. Be careful."

Han Jieliu nodded and looked in front of him.

Then Yuan Yingtuan took out a gray robe from his storage bag to cover his figure.

With a flick of his sleeves, he dispelled the murderous aura around him and spoke softly downwards.

"My name is Yuan Yingtuan. I was just bewitched by an evil spirit and my body was out of control. I offended you, nobleman. Please forgive me."

"Now that the Yuan family has been harmed and destroyed because of me, I have no need to stay in Huannan Ridge and am preparing to leave this place... The Yuan family's affairs are no longer my concern. However, before leaving, I want to ask the nobles for a cultivation technique, the Zhuang family's old technique, 'The Technique of Cutting the Mat with the Tiger'."

Upon hearing this, and seeing Yuan Yingtuan's change in demeanor, he realized...

Although its expression was still gloomy, it was much better than its original ghostly appearance.

Han Jieliu was also convinced that something had indeed changed about him.

"What's going on with Yuan Yingtuan? It's really strange."
