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

Han Jieliu and Han Jieyu both agreed.

Han Chiting nodded and asked Han Jieyu.

"Jieyu, how's the inventory of the family's losses these past few days of patrols?"

Han Jieyu replied in a deep voice.

"The family has been thoroughly inspected once. The spiritual fields have lost more than 2,000 catties, and three cultivators of the mixed qi level and eleven cultivators of the fetal qi level have been killed."

"Because it was harvest time, and everyone was working in the fields, many people died in the beast tide, about a thousand people."

"The main formation in the house—the Misty Array—was also destroyed. The remaining scattered items totaled approximately three hundred spirit stones."

Three hundred spirit stones was equivalent to nearly two years' income for the family, so the loss was considerable.

Fortunately, the Han family last went to Leijun City to pay the tribute to Xiaowei Mountain a year ago, so there was still enough time.

Although the losses were severe, they weren't so great that we wouldn't be unable to make the next offering.

"Damn the Yuan family, I hope I never get my hands on them again..."

Han Jieyu was kind-hearted and had a good temperament. After fighting with Han Jieliu that day, he quickly became familiar with Han Jieliu, like brothers who had not seen each other for many years.

He then cursed angrily and unleashed three array flags, which floated and landed in Han Chiting's hand.

"Uncle, I went to retrieve the six array flags of the Misty Array. They were scattered in the mountains by that tiger demon. Two of them were damaged, one was lost, and now there are three left."

Han Chiting put away the banner, cleared away the evil aura on it, and examined it carefully.

"It was that tiger demon's technique; it used the malevolent energy spewing from its mouth to directly shatter the formation."

"The Qi-refining array surrounding my house is of a very low grade. The malevolent energy overwhelmed the mist and condensed for a long time, causing the array to become sluggish and unable to function properly, which is why it was damaged."

Han Jieyu thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"The Yuan family seems to have some ulterior motive. The family's array formation is of utmost importance and cannot be lost even for a day."

"Should we send a message to Uncle Lu, who is still in Donglu Market, and ask him to buy a set of Qi-refining level array flags and bring them back?"

Han Chiting shook his head, gazing in the direction of Guanglu Lake.

"No need. Their safety is uncertain in the market. We still need to send a Qi Refiner to guide them."

"The Donglu Market is full of informants from various factions, so information cannot be kept secret. If you also bring along a precious array plate, it might attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives."

He put away the three battle flags in his hand.

"Although Ancestor Gonghe once left behind a legacy of array formations, few members of the clan are proficient in it."

"The one in the family who is most skilled in array formations can only set up some fetal breathing arrays, and cannot create a mountain-protecting array."

"If the Zhuqing Heqi Array is expanded to its maximum, it will be enough to protect Jianzhu Mountain. Once the storm has subsided, we can find an array master to set up an outer array at home."

"So much time has passed, it's time to replace this fog formation."

Han Jieliu was unaware that there was a formation passed down in his home.

"No wonder it is said that Patriarch Gonghe has made achievements in both formations and swordsmanship."

"I've read the book 'The Essentials of Talismans' that Xue Yiqing gave me. It's obscure and difficult to understand. It seems I don't have much talent in the art of talismans. Perhaps I can find an opportunity to learn about this array formation tradition."

All the arts of cultivating immortality are essential for the path to enlightenment.

If one can master a formation technique, it will be extremely beneficial to one's future cultivation.

"Speaking of the training team that goes to the market town, have you two decided who will go?"

Han Chiting turned his head and said.

My uncle is in charge of the formation at home. Before the clan leader returns, he has to manage all the affairs on and off the mountain by himself. It is very hard work, and he also has to guard against the Yuan family's actions.

Han Jieliu and Han Jieyu exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing, and decided that they should speak first.

"Uncle, apart from the clan leader, my cultivation and combat strength are the highest in the clan. It would be better if I were to guard the clan."

"Our [Heshui] lineage excels at defense and is well-suited for prolonged warfare, making us ideal for the current situation."

"It is autumn now, and Brother Yu's cultivation method is well-matched. He has also ingested the [Autumn Breeze]. If we don't count the flying magic weapon, his speed on the wind is even faster than mine."

Back then, in order to cultivate quickly and break through to the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible, I consumed a stream of [Clear Breath Among Reeds].

This spiritual energy can enhance cultivators in places with dense river networks and abundant moisture, but the conditions are harsh. The south is mountainous, and it is almost useless unless you go to the Guanglu Lake.

Moreover, its origin is too ordinary; it is merely a collection of the pure and refreshing essence found among the water plants and reeds.

Although the quality of [Reed Breath] had improved slightly after consuming the [Minor Righteous Qi] and merging with it to complement each other, it was still inferior to other spiritual energies.

Spiritual energy is the manifestation of the spiritual forces of the world. Since different things have different natures, there are naturally distinctions of high and low.

But the myriad wonders of heaven and earth, the convergence of the Great Dao, are numerous and share many similarities.

It is impossible to distinguish them all in detail and divide them into multiple realms; there is only a distinction between major realms.

The Qi of Refining is the Qi of Refining grade, and the Qi of Foundation Building is the Qi of Foundation Building grade. The requirements for each stage are different.

Just as a breakthrough in the Purple Mansion is accompanied by the overflow of supernatural powers, the Supreme Purple Mark, which is closely related to Purple Qi, is certainly not comparable to the Lesser Pure Spiritual Qi gathered from ordinary mountains.

The wisp of "qi" in the so-called spiritual energy is the beginning of the condensation of spiritual energy, and what follows may not necessarily be in the form of "qi".

It could also be a specific physical object... The higher the level of its origin, the better the spiritual object that will emerge from it.

Spiritual energy takes many forms, but the key is what the cultivator wants to extract from it and what relationship that energy has with their cultivation of life.

This is also Han Jieliu's understanding of the practice of "cultivating one's nature through breath control," just like his own practice of "the method of nourishing one's nature with all kinds of water."

I request that all the waters in the world, whether they are gathered or primordial, be collected and nourished, so that they may permeate and give rise to my nature.

Therefore, even if there is a [Fire Virtue] Qi of the Purple Mansion position placed in front of you, swallowing it will be of no use to your life.

The [Autumn Breeze] that Han Jieyu ingested belonged to autumn. It was the pure energy that arose with the changing seasons of autumn. At such a time, it was in perfect harmony with the spiritual atmosphere, so its power was naturally greatly enhanced.

"Brother Liu's idea is the same as mine, so let's settle on that. I was just about to head to the market."

After these days of adjustment, Han Jieyu has consolidated his foundation and stabilized his newly advanced cultivation level.

Just as he was about to go out and take a look, he heard Han Jieliu say this and readily agreed.

Han Chiting nodded.

"Indeed, your Autumn Moon Wheel has many uses; it can even be used as a means of transportation."

"Just be careful as spiritual energy consumption is high. Always keep a few pills to replenish your mana in your bag. Go and come back quickly."

There was no time to lose. Now that it was settled, Han Jieyu bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

But then a clear, resonant sound echoed in the air outside the courtyard, lingering like the gentle tinkling of a sword.

It seemed as if a large, feathered wild goose, with sharp eyes and cold wings, circled in the sky for a while before descending with its feathers high and low.

The light blue ribbon, stretched thin and long by the wind as if it had been tailored, transformed into a figure in blue robes, who gently stood still.

It was Han Jinwei, the head of the Han family. He exuded a sharp aura that was completely different from when he was managing the family, and even his spirits were a bit higher.

With a tired yet faint smile, Han Jinwei sheathed his sword, tossed a large tiger head to the ground, and said softly.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. It took me three days to slay this tiger demon that had plagued my home."
