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

Five days later, early in the morning, Han Jieliu looked at the [Lower Abyss Containing Qi] that was truly floating in the small black bottle, and finally felt relieved.

"It's true."

In the days before the [Lower Abyss Containing Qi] was fully condensed, Han Jieliu was on tenterhooks, fearing that it was a joke played on him by that powerful cultivator. Now it seems that he can finally get his money's worth.

Han Jieliu was in a rare good mood and smiled.

Instead of taking out the spiritual energy, he stored it in a black bottle and looked towards the lake.

Now that one of the [Lower Hollow Qi] has been harvested, the spiritual energy in the lake valley has become much thinner, but there is still enough to harvest one more.

"After harvesting another batch, there will still be some left. With the continuous influx of spiritual energy, the spirit fish in the lake should not die."

Han Jieliu did some calculations and was about to continue gathering spiritual energy before leaving the place and returning to his family when he suddenly sensed two auras approaching from the forest.

"How did two Nascent Soul cultivators end up here...?"

Although he was puzzled, he held his breath and observed quietly.

Two cultivators, one old and one young, emerged from the forest. The old man had white hair and a beard and was already at the late stage of the Fetal Breathing realm, but he was too old and it seemed that he had no chance of breaking through to the Qi Refining realm. The young man, on the other hand, was only a little over ten years old, but he had already reached the mid-stage of the Fetal Breathing realm, almost as talented as the old man himself was back then.

The old Taoist pointed to the lake valley in front of him, stroked his beard, and smiled.

"How is it, Xiao'er? Your master didn't lie to you, did he? This place is full of spiritual energy, enough to extract a [Lower Hollow Qi]."

"Although it doesn't fit with the Jingshan Huahuang Scripture you cultivate, it can still fetch seventy or eighty spirit stones in the market. Combined with our savings, it's more than enough to exchange for a different kind of spiritual energy."

But the old Taoist priest immediately frowned, sensing something.

"I spent a long time observing the mountains and exploring the caves last year before I discovered this place. It seems that the spiritual energy here is even thinner than when I came last time. It seems that something has leaked out... Oh well, there's still enough to extract one."

"This place is remote and few people can find it. We'll stay here for the next few years. Once you break through to the later stage, I'll gather your Qi and then we'll talk about it."

The handsome young man had bright eyes, nodded slightly, and readily agreed.

"I'll listen to my master."

Han Jieliu, who was in the distance, heard everything and understood what had happened.

It turns out that he wasn't the first to discover this place. The old Taoist priest found out much earlier than him and brought his apprentice here to gather qi. Little did he know that he had a small black bottle and had already gathered some qi in advance.

"Should we fight for this [Lower Hollow Containing Qi]? After all, the amount of spiritual energy is limited, and the little black bottle's rapid absorption speed can't be hidden from those in the same lake valley. It's easy to be exposed... Or should we kill them all and take this place for ourselves..."

Han Jieliu's eyes darkened as he quietly watched the master and apprentice preparing to build a wooden hut in the distance.

As a Qi Refiner, killing two Nascent Soul cultivators would be easy for me, and I could also seize some spirit stones to replenish my depleted storage bag.

But after a moment of silence, he finally gave up on the idea.

Firstly, since I already have my own little black bottle, I'm sure I won't lack spiritual energy in the future, so there's no need to increase the risk of exposure.

Secondly, throughout the entire cultivation world, this master-disciple pair is the most sinister.

That old Taoist priest has been able to live for so many years with his late-stage embryonic breathing realm; he probably has some hidden trump card up his sleeve.

Moreover, the fact that the young man could find a place like this suggests that he has an extraordinary demeanor and is probably someone favored by heaven and blessed with good fortune.

Han Jieliu would never take the initiative in uncertain situations.

"Fine, consider yourself lucky. I'll give you this spiritual energy..."

Han Jie was very decisive. Since he had decided not to take it, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer. With a flick of his sleeve, he concealed his presence and flew high over the lake on the wind.

A moment after Han Jieliu left, the old Taoist suddenly sensed something, raised his head, looked in the direction Han Jieliu had left with some surprise and doubt, and then revealed an expression that seemed to understand.

The boy had just put down a pile of wood when he saw his master's expression and asked in confusion.

"How is Master?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and smiled slightly.

"Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, I just ran into a smart person."

Seeing the boy standing there, pretending not to understand what he was saying, he kicked him in the butt in exasperation, saying with a look of disappointment.

"Hurry up! I've never taught such a stupid disciple before. If we don't get it set up by tonight, we'll both be getting bitten by mosquitoes."

······

Three days later, Han Jieliu finally appeared outside Dasuyuan, looking travel-worn.

After many days, I finally left the Great Plains and returned to the realm of human cultivators. During this time, I even accidentally provoked a demon beast at the third level of Qi Refining, and it took a lot of effort to escape.

"To go to such lengths to pick a mere Qi Refining level White Flower Fruit, chasing it for a whole day, and if that beast still dares to chase us out, we'll show it what true family cooperation is..."

Han Jieliu glanced back, unleashed his Flying Clear Sword, and flew straight south.

I had been following the direction in the Great Stupa, and this place was now within the Mengtan Mountain area. It was on the side of an ancient road called Jiaoyu Road.

There weren't many ordinary people or vehicles on this road, perhaps because they were afraid of the demonic beasts that might dart out from Mengtan Mountain nearby. Only some caravans with cultivators in charge dared to pass through.

"The layout of this area is basically the same as when I left, and I still recognize the directions."

Han Jieliu lowered his divine sense to observe, muttering to himself.

A caravan bearing the banner of the Yuan family was advancing along the road, carrying two carts of goods. Several ordinary people and armored warriors rode in front, while two cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage sat in the middle. They were winding their way towards Leijun City in the distance of the ancient road.

The area west of Mengtan Mountain is considered a place with abundant natural resources in Linjiang County. Its terrain is quite unique, consisting entirely of hills and small mountains.

Mengtan Mountain isolates Dasuyuan to the east, serving as a barrier. To the west lies a vast lake called Guanglu Lake, boundless and shrouded in mist. Further north lies the pass between Linjiang County and Dasuyuan, where an ancient city controlled by a powerful immortal cultivation clan stands—Leijun City.

This area, which is high in the east and wide in the west, covering an area of ​​several tens of miles, is the territory of the three families. On the map, it is called Huannan Ridge, and five large sacred mountains grow on it.

Among them, the Yuan family of Gaowang is the most powerful. They occupy Gaowang Mountain and Youyi Mountain, and also control the commercial exchanges of Jiaoyu Road. They control almost half of Huannan Ridge and have the most mortals under their rule.

The southern shore of Guanglu Lake belongs to the Wang family of Nanhu, while the area closest to Dasuyuan is the territory of the Han family of Jianzhu.

The eastern shore of Guanglu Lake does not belong to any of the three major powers. Twenty years ago, a rogue cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining came to this place and left behind a market town, which served as a gathering place for various rogue cultivators in the area. At the same time, many small tribes of the Fetal Breathing stage also flourished here.
