Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle
Chapter 17 Competition
Han Jinwei glanced at Han Jieliu's expression and said quietly.
"It was because of this that Ancestor Gonghe established the clan motto, 'Respectful cultivation requires caution; uphold integrity and establish mystery,' to serve as the name for all generations."
"With the blood and tears of the past before us, it is said that the will of the ruler is unpredictable and the situation is ever-changing. My family can no longer withstand any turmoil. It is best not to have any connection with the upper sect."
"If this person is not favored, he may be used as a last resort to save a life in a crisis; but if he is used to gain fame, he may capsize the boat and cause great suffering."
Han Jieliu was also hearing this story for the first time. He nodded slightly and began to re-examine the meaning of this favor.
As people age, they become wise; as beasts grow, they become demons. Those who achieve cultivation are naturally not foolish.
In the cultivation world, everyone lives to be a hundred years old. Even with two lifetimes of experience, he couldn't compare to half of the clan leader's lifespan. Naturally, he wouldn't underestimate anyone else.
Han Jinwei was keen to cultivate the younger generation of his clan. Seeing that Han Jieliu seemed to understand, he nodded and put away the books and bamboo slips.
"Your return to the Hui people has brought about significant changes, and I still need to make further plans and arrangements for the family."
"The remaining specific matters will be explained in detail to Elder Jieliu, with Jieyu as the guide."
At this moment, Han Jieyu, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward, as if he had made up his mind, and said softly.
"Clan leader, I wish to have a match with Brother Jieliu to see what the difference is between sect cultivators and clan cultivators."
Upon hearing this, Han Jinwei turned around, his face expressionless, and remained silent.
Han Jieliu, who was standing to the side, also heard this clearly and looked up at Han Jieyu.
Perhaps it was the lingering resentment of his youth when he was stripped of his right to join the clan, or perhaps it was the pride of being the son of the previous clan leader, vowing to lead the clan.
Or perhaps they've just broken through to the Qi Refining stage and really want to know where the gap lies between themselves and the cultivators of the sect.
In short, Han Jieyu's words put himself in a difficult position, and also put Han Jieliu in a difficult position.
Han Jieliu thought to himself with a sense of helplessness.
"When Han Jieyu first met me, he didn't seem to be making things difficult for me, but his eyes were complicated, so he must be a gentle person."
"The Han family has a good tradition and strict discipline, and there is rarely any infighting among its members. The fact that he said this is probably just his stubborn and competitive nature at play."
"After all, he hasn't experienced setbacks and has just broken through to the Qi Refining stage, so he's probably feeling smug. The Han family rarely fights with outsiders, and this person has always stayed at home, never going out, cultivating day and night. It's normal for him to be a bit naive..."
Han Jinwei didn't say anything, but looked at Han Jieliu, wanting to see his opinion.
"What do you think of Jieliu?"
Han Jieliu cupped his hands in greeting and smiled.
"I dare not refuse my cousin's invitation. I have just returned from the clan and should also demonstrate what I have learned so that others may know the truth in the future."
"Sending you into the clan this time is truly a way of showing our gratitude. Once you have completed your studies, you will be able to support the future of the Han family."
Han Jin sighed and said softly.
"As for Jie Yu, he is really lacking in his character and conduct, and should be sent out to gain some experience."
Upon hearing this, Han Jieyu also tightened his sleeves, a hint of shame appearing on his face, realizing that his behavior just now was inappropriate.
Seeing this, Han Jinwei didn't say anything more, but waved his hand and smiled gently.
"Very well, now that Jieliu has returned, I naturally intend to test him as well."
"It's a good opportunity for him to lower his cultivation level and have a match with you, to put an end to his arrogance after breaking through, and to teach you, a brat who lives under the protection of your family, what it means to have cultivation beyond cultivation."
There is another formation on the top of Jianzhu Mountain, but with only the initial stage of Qi Refining cultivation, it is impossible to break the formation.
Han Jieliu suppressed his cultivation to the level of someone who had just broken through, and gently reached out his hand.
"Please, Brother Yu."
Seeing this, Han Jieyu also became serious. Without thinking of anything else, he looked at Han Jieliu with gratitude, feeling a little closer to him, and said.
"Brother Liu, be careful."
He pulled out a crescent-shaped white magic ring from his storage bag, which turned out to be a mid-grade Qi-refining magic artifact. He made a hand seal and sent it flying toward Han Jieliu.
"disease."
Han Jieyu practiced another Qi-refining technique of the Han family, belonging to the [Accumulating Metal] category, called "Suitable for Autumn and Suitable for Concealing Technique".
The technique is hidden yet effective, and it excels at felling trees. It was also the technique practiced by the previous clan leader, but unfortunately, he could only cultivate it up to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
This technique is not widely practiced in the clan, but it is commonly seen in the Spirit Bamboo Hall. It is suitable for cutting down trees and bamboo.
"This mid-grade magic artifact must have been left by his father, which is why it's barely usable."
Han Jieliu looked at the silver-white magic weapon in front of him, and slowly used his Flying Clear Sword to block it.
Cultivation techniques are divided into grades, and apart from magical artifacts and spells, this is the biggest difference between sect cultivators and other cultivators.
Just like his own "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue", which is ranked fourth grade and can be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Han family's techniques are mostly second or third grade, like the "Suitable Autumn and Suitable Hidden Skill," which is the highest level of Qi Refining. Naturally, they cannot compare to the sect's internal teachings in terms of refinement.
Moreover, cultivators of the [Heshui] lineage possess an inner spiritual energy reserve that is as vast as a river or the sea, exceeding that of other lineages.
Therefore, although the quality of the magical artifacts was inferior, Han Jieliu still dealt with them with ease.
In front of the courtyard, the silver ring and the flying sword clashed against each other. The two tacitly refrained from using magic, deciding the outcome with their magical artifacts.
However, Han Jieyu had only just advanced to the Qi Refining stage and didn't have much spiritual energy, so wielding a mid-stage magic weapon wasn't easy.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he was already sweating profusely, and the silver ring was swaying precariously in the air.
Han Jieliu, however, breathed naturally and thought to himself.
"If all the cultivators outside are of this level, I could probably handle it if I suppressed my cultivation to the same level when my spiritual aperture shattered."
"But Han Jieyu has no experience in combat and has just broken through to the Qi Refining stage, so he cannot represent the average level of the clan's cultivators."
Although Han Jieliu was thinking, his hands were not idle.
The newly learned "Zhongxia Yujie Sword Technique" was brimming with sharpness, and the Flying Clear Sword was even faster, knocking the silver ring magic weapon straight to the ground.
"My cousin admitted it."
Han Jieliu smiled slightly, then led the silver ring magic artifact away and handed it to Han Jieyu.
"Thank you for your guidance, brother. I am now aware of the gap between myself and Brother Jieliu. Brother Jieliu is very magnanimous. I was very offended just now..."
Han Jieyu had used up a lot of his magic power and it took him a while to calm down. He apologized.
"There is naturally mutual learning and exchange among peers, but it can't be called guidance. I have studied the Dharma at Xiaowei Mountain for many years and have gained some insights."
"However, this mid-stage magic weapon is taking a heavy toll on Brother Yu right now. Without the support of elixirs and spiritual items, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to maintain his fighting prowess for long..."
Han Jieliu had entered the Qi Refining stage a few years earlier and had listened to many sect lectures, so his insight was quite unique.
He then pointed out several shortcomings in Han Jieyu's techniques and the circulation of spiritual energy.
The latter, sweating profusely, humbly memorized the information, bowed to Han Jinwei and Han Jieliu, and then hurriedly flew away.
With Han Jieyu gone, only Han Jinwei and Han Jieliu remained on the summit of Jianzhu Mountain.
Han Jinwei used a cleansing spell to erase all traces of what had just happened, and sighed softly.
"Jie Liu, don't blame Jie Yu. His grandfather and I were brothers. He died young while fighting for our clan, just like you did back then."
"You took away his qualification to join the sect back then, which inevitably made him, who was always superior to his peers, somewhat resentful. In recent years, he has rarely gone out to train, and his simple mind makes it forgivable for him to do some foolish things."
"After this incident, they will probably realize that the 'Chi' generation of our Han family lacks talent and probably can't even reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining. We are powerless to make progress and it will be difficult to maintain our current status."
"The Han family will rely on you 'Jie' generation members from now on. You brothers still need to be close and not become estranged."
