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

Han Jin, having governed a large immortal cultivation family, naturally saw things clearly.

As the head of the family, he faced a crisis as many of his peers had passed away.

His thoughts and worries were all on his mind, and there were many things he wanted to say but couldn't. These words truly came from the bottom of his heart.

Han Jieliu understood his concerns and cupped his hands in greeting.

"What the clan chief said is true. As a member of the Han clan, I will do my best to unite the clan, harmonize the different branches, and fulfill my responsibilities."

It seems that Han Jinwei is truly grooming him to be the next clan leader. However, with the mysterious little black bottle around, he might even be able to glimpse the Foundation Establishment realm, but that's not his intention.

Han Jinwei shook his head.

"I know you are devoted to the path of immortality and have high hopes for your future, but you do not wish to manage clan affairs. I have other plans for this person."

"You started cultivating Qi at just over twenty years old. With your talent, you have a chance to reach the later stages of Qi cultivation. If the family were to fall one day, you could escape and follow in the footsteps of our ancestor Gonghe to preserve the bloodline of the Han family."

Han Jinwei didn't say anything more, and with a flick of his sleeve, he put away several martial arts techniques.

"You should stay at Jianzhu Mountain for the next few days. This spiritual vein is enough to accommodate four or five Qi Refining cultivators. Once the clan has made arrangements, we can proceed with the relocation."

"The position of elder is merely nominal. I will assign a few junior members of the clan to fill the position for you. You just need to focus on your cultivation and break through to the mid-stage. If you have time, you can provide some guidance."

"Thank you for your trouble, Chieftain..."

Han Jinwei nodded, and his figure disappeared from sight.

Han Jieliu bowed his head in thanks, descended the mountaintop, surveyed his surroundings, and casually settled into an empty house on Jianzhu Mountain.

Apart from the ancestral hall at the top of the mountain, the spiritual energy concentration in other parts of the mountain is average, slightly lower than that of Caiwu Peak in the sect, but still sufficient for cultivation.

Those who had just discovered the spiritual apertures entering the mountains, along with the embryonic breathing cultivators, gathered and lived on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain, establishing clan schools for convenient teaching.

The several Qi Refining cultivators in the family also had their own duties and were not often in the mountains.

Several uncles of the "Chi" generation, including one guarding elder of Dingshan Hall, one chief priest of Jixun Hall, and several miscellaneous cultivators were also outside.

Knowing they had no hope of breaking through to the next level, these cultivators became lazy in their cultivation and focused their attention on clan affairs.

"They are indeed a good family, with excellent conduct and a strong tradition of succession. They are worth supporting and can serve as an aid on my path to enlightenment..."

"With the little black bottle in hand, I dare not say much, but it's easy to cultivate a few Qi Refiners for the family. After all, the biggest problem for independent cultivators and clan cultivators is not the bottleneck of cultivation, but the lack of money."

Thinking of this, Han Jieliu remembered that he had forgotten to ask Han Jinwei about the places around where he could gather Qi.

"There should be a Qi gathering point in the clan that matches the cultivation technique 'Building Azure Spirit Yuan Gong', but it would be easy for me to expose myself if I went there rashly. Moreover, the way to use this Qi should already be very mature and should be used to cultivate the younger generation in the clan."

"Forget it, the Huannan Ridge is not peaceful right now. Let's wait until I raise my cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining before considering gathering Qi."

Furthermore, the magical artifacts need replacing; the Flying Clear Sword is far from reliable in duels between opponents of the same level, and there's also the lack of escape techniques...

Aside from his cultivation techniques and spells, he wasn't really a qualified sect cultivator.

"A single spirit stone can stump a cultivator..."

Han Jieliu sighed that his power level was too low, as the little black bottle had little ability to absorb or release spirit stones. He shook his head, took out the [Minor Righteous Qi], and began to cultivate quietly.

······

Three months later, autumn had arrived, adding a touch of solemnity to the entire verdant Jianzhu Mountain.

On the mountainside of Jianzhu Mountain, there is a stone platform that has been filled in.

Several doves fluttered and landed repeatedly on the edge of the stone platform, until finally they pecked at their feathers and flew away.

Standing on the empty green platform were seven or eight young members of the Han family who possessed spiritual apertures and had just embarked on the path of cultivation.

They were all around ten years old, wearing robes printed with the words "Jianzhu" (建竹), and were excitedly looking around, discussing endlessly.

"Which elder is leading our trip to Donglufang City this time? We hope he's quite capable."

"He seems to be a newly appointed family elder..."

As soon as a pretty young girl opened her mouth, someone else immediately chimed in.

"A newly appointed elder? Could it be Elder Han Jieyu, also known as 'Moon Wheel Autumn'? He only recently broke through to the next level and became the new head of the Spirit Bamboo Hall. He also possesses a mid-grade Qi-refining magic artifact."

"I heard from my father that he was the next clan chief, so he must be the one."

This time, the speaker was a young man with deep-set eyes and a jade pendant around his waist.

As soon as he finished speaking, the children next to him nodded respectfully, their eyes filled with envy.

This young man is a disciple of the current lineage of the Chief Elder. His father is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his grandfather is a great cultivator of Qi Refining and a family elder.

What he says is probably true.

"Not necessarily. It could be another elder, someone I've met before..."

The girl was none other than the one who had guided Han Jieliu in front of the formation. She seemed to realize something and whispered.

"Hahaha, Han Liwan, don't be silly. There are no other newly promoted elders. Brother Xiao already said it's Elder Yu."

One of the children standing next to Han Lixiao immediately mocked him smugly.

Han Li straightened his neck, but didn't say anything more. He bit his lip and swallowed the words, only thinking to himself.

"You just wait and see, I have personally seen Elder Liu return from the sect."

······

Han Jieliu rode the wind in the distance, his black hair fluttering in the autumn air, his mind at ease.

After three months of seclusion, combined with the three months of cultivation he had spent at Dasuyuan, he finally completely absorbed the [Minor Righteous Qi] and broke through the long-stagnant second level of Qi Refining, reaching the third level.

"It seems that although the cultivation of qi is very costly, it is indeed a feasible path. Even my shattered spiritual apertures have been nourished and replenished to some extent by the absorbed [Minor Righteous Qi]."

"Now we're just one step away from reaching the mid-term."

After confirming this, Han Jieliu felt much more at ease.

In the past, it would take me more than two years to break through a small level, not to mention the bottlenecks, but this time it only took half a year.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he had been immersed in the second level of Qi Refining for a long time before his spiritual aperture shattered.

On the third day after he emerged from seclusion, he received a telepathic message from Han Jinwei.

"There are strange disturbances in Mengtan Mountain. Two Nascent Soul cultivators have died in the hunting team. It's possible that a powerful Qi Refining demon has appeared. Dingshan Hall can't be left without supplies, and Lingzhu Hall's Qi gathering is also at a critical time. The task of leading the clan's disciples to the market for training is entrusted to you."

Han Jieliu silently looked at the communication talisman in his hand.

"It's easy for me to go into the mountains to kill demons, but this is the first time I've led a team on a training expedition."

Fortunately, Han Jinwei did not send him alone, but instead sent another cultivator of mixed qi to accompany him.

Han Jieliu stopped, and the bamboo forest beneath his feet stirred, heading towards the direction of Lingzhu Hall.

Then, a middle-aged cultivator with a frail appearance emerged from among them, flew to Han Jieliu's side on his magical artifact, and said slowly.

"Elder Jieliu, I am Han Chilu from Lingzhu Hall. I have been ordered by the clan leader to lead the team with Elder Jieliu."

"Uncle Lu, you're too kind. Please walk alongside me."

After exchanging a few polite words, the two set off together towards the stone platform.
