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

Han Chiting was stunned when he heard this, then he seemed to realize something.

"I almost forgot, you've been back in your clan for many days, but you haven't come to the ancestral hall to pay your respects."

"It's no wonder the clan chief didn't mention it. After all, the clan's grand festival, which takes place once every ten years, is just around the corner. Perhaps he was thinking of having you participate in the festival as well."

"These family heirlooms have always been stored in the backyard, guarded by the clan chief. Please come with me."

Han Chiting had thoroughly inspected the area below the mountain several times, but found nothing unusual.

So he cast a spell to stop the array and took Han Jieliu to the ancestral hall behind the courtyard.

The interior is small, but the windows are bright and the furniture is clean, indicating that it is regularly cleaned and maintained.

In front of the ancestral hall are several memorial tablets and portraits, which represent the clan heads of past generations.

Below was a table made of lapis lazuli bamboo, with long incense sticks wafting from it, and the ashes in the incense burner not yet clumped together.

On the table was a sword rack, but the spirit sword that had been hanging on it had been removed, leaving only a flat velvet mat.

Han Chiting entered the hall and bowed, and Han Jieliu did the same, raising his head.

Han Chiting faces the family genealogy.

"My Han family has a shallow foundation. Following the principle of 'respectful cultivation, upholding integrity and establishing the truth, guarding the mind and correcting the nature, and continuing the lineage,' we have only had seven generations to go."

"The only treasure that protects the clan is the personal magical artifact left behind by Han Gonghe, the ancestor."

Han Jieliu looked at the sword rack and listened to Han Chiting continue.

"Ancestor Gonghe was exceptionally talented in his time, making significant achievements in formations, cultivation, and other areas, but his swordsmanship was the most outstanding among them."

"Our ancestor rose from humble beginnings. At your age, with only the 'Xiao Lu Tong Qing Sword Technique' and without any guidance, he actually cultivated sword qi and became invincible in the realm of qi refining."

"He gained fame for killing enemies in Dongyang Valley, and even killed three people at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. He won the favor of the Han family of Dongquan and was recruited into their ranks. For a time, he enjoyed immense prestige."

"Later, due to the upheaval in the upper sect, he was implicated and exiled here. His cultivation level dropped, but he was still able to suppress both sects on his own."

The place where the magic sword was enshrined had developed some mystical features due to the family's nearly 100 years of offerings.

Han Jieliu could faintly sense an indescribable incense-like fragrance swirling around the sword.

Han Chiting touched the sword rack with his hand, a look of comfort on his face.

"And this treasure of my clan, the late-stage Qi Refining level magic sword, Shangluqing, was forged by Ancestor Gonghe before his cultivation level fell, and it was used as his personal magic weapon."

"The ancestor stored three sword energies on it, all of which were extremely powerful and sharp, and would be destroyed after use."

"It was only by unleashing the final burst of sword energy that the clan leader managed to force that monster back so quickly."

Han Chiting suddenly recalled the scene of his family suffering during the last beast tide and sighed.

"However, similarly, all of my family's treasures were passed down from our ancestor Gonghe. The Zhuqing Qi Array and this Shangluqing sword can only be activated by cultivators who have practiced the Zhuqing Lingyuan Technique."

"The conditions for ascending to the Green Mountain are even more stringent, requiring the user to have a certain understanding of swordsmanship."

"The clan leader is skilled in swordsmanship and has already gained some understanding, approaching the realm of sword qi, which is why he is able to wield this item."

"The previous clan leader, Han Jinqiu, cultivated the [Accumulation of Gold] path, so he couldn't use the ancestral sword. And because the incident happened suddenly, he perished in the beast tide."

Upon hearing this, Han Jieliu remained silent, lost in thought.

It seems that each generation of the Han family needs to cultivate a family head who can practice the "Building the Azure Spirit Yuan Technique" and has some sword skills in order to make the best use of the legacy of Ancestor Gonghe.

Among the "Jie" generation, he himself cultivated the [He Shui] lineage, while Han Jieyu inherited his father's business and cultivated the [Chu Jin] path, but neither of them could succeed.

The rest of the people were not very talented, and few of them reached the late stage of fetal breathing.

Only one person named Han Jiemao has now reached the late stage of embryonic breathing, but he cultivates the [Fengsi] path.

【Feng Si】This method originates from ancient practices, is used to manage rituals and is associated with witchcraft. The family's practice, "Looking Up at the Eaves from Under the Knees," was learned from Zhuang family members and only includes the fetal breathing part.

Until a successor or alternative cultivation method is found, this person can at most cultivate to the level of mixed qi.

"It seems we still need to look among those with the character 'Li' in their names."

He only wanted to cultivate quietly behind the scenes, silently achieve the Foundation Establishment stage, and first establish a foothold in this region.

Therefore, there is a fear that the family will be in a period of transition, and in order to put forward someone to take charge, another capable member of the clan should be found to lead the Han family.

Han Jieliu suddenly asked.

"Uncle Ting, there are three lineages of Qi cultivation in our family, but why is it that so few people practice the 'Severing the Mat with the Tiger' scripture in the Qi-clearing path?"

Han Chiting waved his hand lightly.

"Although this 'The Scripture of Cutting the Mat with the Tiger' is one of the twelve lineages of 'Qi Circulation', specifically the 'Qi Relief' section, its practice seems to originate from and be closely related to the 'Witchcraft' lineage."

"Most of them teach you flying talismans and blood escape techniques to escape danger. They also require the use of witchcraft materials. Since these materials are rare in Huannan, not many people practice them."

The two discussed their family's martial arts techniques for a while and each gained something from it.

At that moment, the gate to the courtyard at the summit opened, and Han Jieyu walked in, followed by a strange man with tattoos and a wicked appearance who was unconscious.

Han Jieliu and Han Chiting also noticed it and came out from the back ancestral hall.

"Uncle Ting, Brother Liu..."

Han Jieyu was somewhat surprised to see Han Jieliu return, but he didn't say anything. He simply cupped his hands in greeting.

"While I was inspecting the villages, a farmer claimed to have found this barbarian unconscious in his large vat."

"It looks like he just arrived. If the beast tide hadn't overturned his yard, we wouldn't have noticed him for a while."

"Judging from its appearance, it seems to have come from the Great Plains. I don't know why it appeared on my land, so I grabbed it, gagged it, and brought it up the mountain to ask about its origins."

"Barbarians from the plains?"

Han Chiting frowned, channeled his spiritual energy, and examined the barbarian's meridians.

It was discovered that he was only at the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm, and his cultivation was unstable and chaotic. He probably couldn't even defeat some powerful mid-stage Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators.

He then thought for a moment and said.

"When I was a child, my ancestors told me that there were barbarians in Dasuyuan."

"They mostly worship the path of [shamanism] and [turbid qi], live in groups, enjoy life sacrifices, and are fond of bone and jade. Their relations with the powers in the surrounding counties are not good."

"However, because there are many priests in their path who are equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, and even higher-level shamans, and because they mostly stay in the plains, the two sides have no entanglement and live peacefully in their respective territories."

"But their tribe is located near Wushan in Donghe County. There are few barbarian tribes near my Linjiang area, and I have never seen them before. How could they suddenly appear here, and at the same time as the beast tide?"

"Just ask and you'll know."

Without hesitation, Han Jieyu unleashed his spiritual power to remove the seal from the barbarian's mouth.

Then he took out a magic weapon and gently tapped it on his head, instantly waking him from his dazed state of being captured.

The barbarian opened his eyes, and once he saw the person in front of him and his surroundings, he knew where he had fallen.

He had heard the shamans in his tribe describe the methods of the outsiders, such as searching for souls and refining spirits, and using people to make elixirs.

In despair, he stopped struggling and started cursing.

"You people are extremely rude. I merely took a stroll outside your territory, yet you send your Qi Refiners to capture me directly."

"Where in Donghe County is there a powerful family like yours? Kill me or torture me as you please. I, Huerbao, am going to die here."

As soon as the barbarian spoke, the bone jade ornaments hanging all over his body trembled and made a symphony.

Han Jieyu grew tired of listening and unleashed a burst of golden energy that caused all the ornaments on the man's body to fall off.

Seeing that they were all ordinary objects and not spiritual items, he kicked them all to the ground and ignored them. He pointed at the leopard and laughed angrily.

"Where did this stupid barbarian come from, Donghe County? Do you even know where this place is...? It is Linjiang County."
