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

The two rode side by side, slowly riding the wind.

Although the Han family's Great Formation, the Misty Formation, appears foggy and confusing from the outside, it has little effect on the inside; at most, one's clothes will be slightly dampened by the moisture.

After all, this formation is only of the lower grade of Qi Refining. It is named after the misty fog and has the effect of obscuring divine sense. It can only block some cultivators at the Fetal Breathing stage and the Mixed Qi cultivation level. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can break it in a short time.

The truly important formation of the Jianzhu Han family is the mid-grade Qi-refining formation located at the summit, which was set up by the ancestor Gonghe back then—the "Zhu Qing He Qi Formation".

Its formation can stimulate the wood element, gather spiritual energy, stabilize the soil with water, and transform the green light, making it the true trump card of the Han family.

Han Jieliu slowed his pace and chatted with his uncle Han Chilu about the trip. He chuckled as he recalled the events.

"I had no idea that Jie Liu had returned home this time. The clan leader didn't tell us either. Just a few days ago, I was wondering why there was another elder in our clan besides Jie Yu's breakthrough..."

Han Jieliu gave a wry smile and said helplessly.

"Uncle Lu is joking. I had no choice. There are different factions in the clan, and the adults control each other. Each has its own jurisdiction, and I can't get involved in all of them, so I simply returned to the clan."

"As for why the clan chief didn't say, he probably has other considerations."

Han Chilu listened and responded in a gentle tone.

"Your return is a great joy for the clan, and your appointment as the newly established Elder of Jingyu Hall will enable you to expand south of Mengtan, making you a pillar of the clan."

"My Han family doesn't have much Qi Refining. Although we miscellaneous Qi cultivators have the title of Qi Refining, we are only slightly better than those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. If our clan wants to contend with the Yuan and Wang families in the future and expand westward and eastward, we will need to produce another Qi Refining mid-stage figure."

As Han Chilu said, those who possess so-called mixed qi are not actually true qi-refining cultivators.

For a normal cultivator to break through to the Qi Refining stage, they must first achieve perfect cultivation and then find a spiritual energy that aligns with their path of cultivation to gather and consume in order to succeed.

Miscellaneous Qi is mostly formed by those who have no hope of breaking through to Qi Refining or whose path to cultivation has been cut off. Once they reach the late stage of Qi Refining, they can directly consume it, making it easy to break through, and failure will not endanger their lives.

What they collect is not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but rather the mixed energy that is more easily generated, such as the dry yin energy in the cave and the dusty energy.

There are no fixed collection points for these mixed energies; they can be collected wherever the spiritual energy is abundant and meets the requirements.

This is also why Han Jieliu was confident that he could at least train a few miscellaneous talents for the Han family.

However, in contrast, while cultivators of mixed qi can manipulate wind and qi, their strength is far inferior to that of cultivators of righteous qi; it would take several of them to equal one.

Moreover, once one breaks through Qi Refining using this method, their foundation becomes unstable, and there is no possibility of further cultivation or breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Han Jieliu nodded almost imperceptibly, then changed the subject.

"Uncle Lu, this is my first time taking on this task. Are there any rules for going to Donglu Market?"

Han Chilu slowed down and smiled again.

"There are rules, of course, but those apply to those small, independent cultivators. Since we are one of the three major families in Huannan, we are not subject to any restrictions. We just need to be careful not to fight in the market."

"The hermit of Xiling who opened up this market town had already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining twenty years ago, and his cultivation level is probably even more profound now."

Han Jieliu forgot that although his own Han clan claimed to be weak, that was only in comparison to the other two great immortal clans.

For ordinary independent cultivators and families practicing fetal breathing, it is a behemoth.

The two saw the stone platform from afar, and Han Chilu sighed.

"There are more spiritual talents of the 'Li' generation this year. There are seven here alone. If you include those from other families and surrounding areas, there are more than a dozen. This is the most in recent years."

Han Jieliu noticed Han Liwan, recognized her as the girl who had led him into the formation, and saw her being ridiculed.

With a slight thought, Chao Han nodded slightly and went up to the stone platform first.

A gust of moist breeze swept across the table, instantly dispelling the bleakness of autumn and refreshing the senses.

With a light step, he moved with imposing force; before the sound even reached him, he was already there.

The actions of a Qi Refining cultivator were naturally beyond the comprehension of a few children who had just entered the Fetal Breathing Realm.

It wasn't until they noticed something was amiss that the children realized what was happening. They looked up respectfully and saw a calm-looking figure in blue robes standing before them.

Although Han Jieliu never appeared at home, as Han Liwan said, his image and deeds were very famous in the clan.

Without the protection of his parents, his talent surpassed that of his generation, and he went to a sect to study Taoism and learn the laws... plus some outstanding appearance.

He became a role model for almost all the younger members of the clan, so he was recognized immediately.

"It's him... it's that Uncle Liu who joined the upper sect!"

"It really is him; he has already returned to his clan."

"Han Liwan was right, there really are other elders present, why didn't the clan leader mention it..."

······

A discussion filled with surprise, shock, and a mixture of joy briefly arose, but quickly came to a halt.

Led by Han Lixiao, the boys and girls all bent down, extremely excited, and their voices merged into a neat and innocent congratulatory shout.

"Greetings, Elder. We respectfully welcome Elder Liu back to the clan. May your immortal path flourish and our clan prosper."

Hmm~ That feels good. This is one of the reasons why I want to go back to my family.

Who doesn't love the feeling of being a star in front of others...?

Han Jieliu felt a sense of relief, but his expression remained calm as he smiled and said.

"Please don't stand on ceremony. I recently returned to my family to serve as an elder, but I haven't had a chance to announce it yet."

"Today, I will serve as the elder in charge of this training and lead you to the market."

Great.

Upon hearing this, the younger generation all showed delight in their eyes, eager to ask something.

Seeing this, Han Liwan glared fiercely at the boy who had just mocked her, causing him to force a smile. Then, she dared to speak up.

"Elder Han Jieliu..."

Han Jieliu nodded, scanned Han Liwan with his divine sense, and smiled gently.

"It's Li Wan. I still remember you in front of the formation that day."

Han Jieliu immediately recognized the lineage she cultivated; it was the same as his own, belonging to the Water element and the [Water Conservation] path.

However, it seemed that the Han family did not have any Water Virtue Techniques that could be cultivated to the Qi Refining stage, so he asked.

"Since you were taught in the clan's primary school, you naturally know the importance of the path of cultivation. Why then do you cultivate this Water Virtue Dharma?"

Han Li answered softly.

"Uncles, my ancestors were cultivators from other families. Later, due to the destruction of their clan, they fled here and changed their surname to Han."

"It carries a Qi-refining inheritance technique called 'Lian Yin Sheng Han Gong,' which can only be cultivated by those born with a Yin constitution and female cultivators. That's why it wasn't included in the family's Dharma Pavilion, but was instead passed on to them when the opportunity arose."

Han Jieliu did indeed sense a faint yin energy emanating from Han Liwan, so he took out a small ball from his storage bag and said slowly.

"Since you cultivate the virtue of water, you are destined to meet me. This item is a ritual implement I used during my embryonic breathing period, called the Water-Containing Pearl."

"Keeping it on your body can nourish your breath, aid in water magic practice, and also store a pool of water for easy access at any time."
