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

This ritual implement for the embryonic breathing stage was something I used before, and since I no longer need it, I'm giving it away.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Han Liwan was overjoyed and took the Water-Containing Pearl, quickly retreating back into the crowd.

The other children looked on with envy at the sight.

After all, they weren't cultivators from any sect. They were just beginning their path of cultivation, and even producing a single spirit stone was a luxury for them.

"Everyone should cultivate diligently. Whoever is the first to break through to the mid-stage of the embryonic breathing realm will also receive a magical artifact as a reward."

Han Jieliu smiled slightly.

Although this move was intended to encourage the younger generation in the clan, I also had my own considerations.

The children here are all direct descendants or branches of the Han family, forming the foundation for the next generation.

If he doesn't want to take charge of the clan affairs in the future, but still wants to support the Han family, he will need a trusted confidant to act on his behalf.

The best choice is to pick one from the people in front of you.

"It's tentatively decided to be this Han Liwan. Her path is similar to mine, and she can guide my cultivation. However, her identity is somewhat special, and it will be difficult for her to climb to the core of the Han family."

"But if it becomes a form of Qi cultivation, then it's a completely different story..."

At this moment, Han Chilu, who arrived later, landed on the stone platform and coughed lightly.

"Regarding the matter of paying respects to Lu Tang."

When going out, they are usually accompanied by two elders to prevent situations where they cannot seek help from the family if attacked.

The disciples immediately realized what was happening and bowed respectfully.

"When Elder Jieliu arrived, he completely forgot about me."

Han Chilu gave a helpless self-deprecating laugh, then straightened his expression and began to admonish.

"Elder Han Jieliu gave up his status in the upper sect and willingly returned to the clan to fulfill his duties as an elder."

Not only is his cultivation profound, but he also cares deeply for the younger generation. You should all remember this well and take him as your role model.

The spiritual beings below nodded vigorously, like pecking at rice.

Han Chilu didn't say anything more and pulled out a small boat from his storage bag.

This boat is named Xunqing Boat. It was made by carving spiritual bamboo from behind the mountain into sections and engraving magical patterns on them.

They also invited a weapon refiner who spent several months crafting this magical artifact, which is a rare mode of transportation in the clan and is quite valuable.

Han Jieliu was still racking his brains about how to use "Yujie Wind" to transport people to the market, but he was relieved when he saw this item.

Otherwise, given the side effects of "depression wind," probably half of the disciples would be depressed for a long time.

"Jieliu, this item consumes a lot of spiritual energy. My spiritual energy is insufficient on my own, so we need to exchange and infuse it with our magical power."

Han Jieliu nodded and took the Xunqingzhou.

First, a magical artifact was implanted to enlarge it, and then the disciples were loaded onto it, heading east towards Guanglu Lake.

······

After several days, the swift blue boat slowly made its way to the outskirts of the market.

Although Huannan Ridge is just a small island in the lake and mountains of Linjiang County, it is still incredibly vast. It took Han Jieliu and Han Chilu several days to reach it, as they took turns piloting the Swift Green Boat.

Many years ago, after the Han family took over the estate, they were forced to suppress the power of the Yuan and Wang families by the patriarch Gonghe alone.

The three parties had once made a "co-governance oath," agreeing not to attack each other.

Although times have changed and the three families now have their own agendas.

But none of them dared to make any moves openly, risking public condemnation.

The Han family's markings were very clear on the Xunqing Boat, and they didn't encounter any difficulties along the way.

"Jieliu, the Donglu Market is just ahead."

Han Jieliu opened his eyes as Han Chilu reminded him.

He used his divine sense to probe outwards and indeed saw a cluster of market towns standing by the lake.

The market town is located on the lake shore, where a formation that flows with the water operates slowly, closely connected to a sacred mountain in the lake.

Han Jieliu lightly waved his sleeve, lifting the younger generation to the ground, and Han Chilu put away the spirit boat.

He looked up at the array above and silently tried to decipher it.

"It is a mid-stage Qi Refining Formation - the Yimai Yingkan Formation, which requires the support of mountains and rivers to build. The conditions for its formation are quite demanding."

"If the mountain does not collapse and the water does not run dry, the formation can even be compared with some late-stage Qi Refining formations. In that case, it seems that the Hermit of Xiling is quite skilled in formations."

Before Han Jieliu could get a closer look, a figure appeared in the market and headed towards them.

The man, dressed in white with his hands behind his back, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the Han family members.

"The nobles have finally arrived. I've calculated that the day for the nobles to come to my market is fast approaching, so I've come here specifically to welcome them."

"Thank you for your help, Steward Li."

While answering enthusiastically, Han Chilu secretly transmitted his voice to Han Jieliu.

"This is one of the three disciples of that Hermit of Xiling, named Li Mingjin. He is at the early stage of Qi Refining and is in charge of the operation of Donglu Market."

"This person is two-faced, quite cunning, and his intentions are hard to fathom; one must be careful when dealing with him."

Han Jieliu nodded.

Li Mingjin remained smiling and turned to Han Jieliu.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, but he is a newly appointed elder of the noble family."

The monks here fear power more than virtue; using their connections to intimidate is better than anything else.

Han Jieliu replied softly.

"I studied the Dharma under the Shang Sect in the past, and have only recently returned to my clan."

In Huananling, and even in the entire Linjiang Prefecture, there is only one Shangzong.

That is Xiaoweishan, the consistent owner of this place for hundreds of years.

Upon hearing this answer, Li Mingjin's somewhat effeminate face froze, clearly stunned for a moment.

If he were to go out in the name of Xiaowei Mountain, even if he were just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator in the early stages, he would still have to show some respect to his master, Xiling Sanren.

However, if one follows the sect's official duties, one carries the imperial edict.

Even those in the later stages of Qi Refining would likely have to bow respectfully and pay homage at the palace gates.

The cultivator before them, with his impressive aura, appeared to be quite young, clearly having achieved Qi Refining at a very young age.

With such talent, it's reasonable to say he's from a high-ranking sect.

Li Mingjin had no suspicions, his expression became more respectful, and his tone became much warmer.

"May I ask your name, Elder?"

"My name is Han Jieliu."

"This is Elder Han Jieliu, who once studied under the Shang Sect. This is not the place for a detailed discussion. Please proceed to the market quickly."

Li Mingjin blinked and opened the entrance to the magic array.

Although the person in front of me has left the sect, he was once in Xiaowei Mountain, so he must have accumulated some connections and background.

He has good talent and is an elder of one of the three families, so it's very important to maintain good relations with him.

"Thank you, Steward Li."

His initial obsequiousness turned into even greater obsequiousness, which only made people laugh.

Han Jieliu chuckled inwardly and led his disciples into the market.

Upon entering, they discovered that they and their companions did not enter through the same entrance as the other independent cultivators who had entered this market.

Li Mingjin said.

"The other independent monks have to queue to enter and exit. Our Donglufang Market is located in the south of the town, so it is only right that we make it convenient for them."

Li Mingjin knew that the two members of the Han family had come at the behest of their clan, with the mission of escorting disciples on their training journey.

Without saying anything more, he handed a token to Han Jieliu.

"My Donglu Market is divided into two parts. The area outside is called Panhu Market, where there are many spirit creatures that are born from fetal breathing."

"After crossing the bridge with this token, you'll reach Lake Mountain City. My master is also stationed there. Many cultivators come and go to exchange spiritual items, and sometimes, even the Yinlin Zhou family from the north bank of Guanglu Lake sends people here to trade."

"If Elder Han is interested, he may use this token to enter the exchange meeting."
