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

Han Jin entered the ancestral hall and placed Shang Luqinggui on the sword rack.

He wiped away the ashes from the stove, lit three more incense sticks, and slowly spoke.

"Han Jinwei, a fourth-generation descendant of the Han family, has come today to pay homage to his ancestor, slay the scourge, and return the lost sword."

He gently placed the sword back on the sword rack, and the sword trembled slightly on the rack, as if it were granting some kind of approval.

Although the Han clan was the last to establish itself in Huannan Ridge, with this late-stage Qi-refining artifact, its foundation is roughly comparable to the other two clans.

With the ancestral sword returned, the demons slaughtered, and the beast tide over, this matter can be considered essentially concluded.

But no one showed any joy on their faces.

One elder was severely injured, and three minor cultivators were lost; the damage to the embryonic breathing level is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The losses to the clan were so great that they almost shook its very foundation.

With the Yuan family's affairs exposed, they could no longer stand idly by, and the disputes between the various families seemed to have resurfaced.

After a moment of silence, Han Jieyu first cupped his hands in greeting.

"Master, I will prepare the necessary items and go to the market to fetch the younger generation of the clan."

Seeing Han Jin nod, Han Jieyu lowered his head and went down to Jianzhu Mountain.

Han Jinwei said softly.

"Chiting, I have made some progress in swordsmanship, and I need to go into seclusion for a few days to digest its meaning."

"As for going to Mengtan Mountain to verify the Yuan family's matter, it will have to be postponed. I need to ask you to continue to manage the formation these next few days."

"Rest assured, Master."

Han Chiting answered respectfully, while Han Jinwei looked at Han Jieliu with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes.

This child was orphaned at a young age. After discovering his spiritual potential and displaying his talent, he entered the main branch of the family and was adopted by the family.

However, I was busy with clan affairs and had little opportunity to teach him. I soon sent him to a sect, and I felt somewhat guilty about it.

"Jieliu... You have done a great service to the family, so it's really not appropriate to give you any more instructions."

"But right now, we are short-handed at home. Elder Chijun is injured and at home, so you will have to temporarily guard Dingshan Hall."

Upon hearing this, Han Jieliu thought to himself.

"The beast tide has just passed, so Dingshan Hall should be out of danger. My family has suffered such an event, so we must recuperate. This period is perfect for my cultivation and research on that little black bottle..."

Seeing Han Jinwei's strange expression, Han Jieliu chuckled inwardly. Having no reason to refuse, he agreed.

"Master, please take good care of yourself and rest well. I'll be leaving now."

Han Jieliu bid farewell and descended the mountain, returning to his cave dwelling in the mountains.

Once inside the cave, he took out his storage bag and released the [Pingze Helium] from it. After thinking for a moment, he also took out the small black bottle.

The [Pingze Yuqi] bottle looks exactly the same as when I bought it. Shaking the bottle, the contents are unstable, rising and falling.

"Although it hasn't been seven days yet, the female cultivator probably wasn't telling the truth. This bottle of spiritual energy must be mixed. Let's just open it."

Han Jieliu unsealed the bottle and saw a stale, musty smell slowly emerge, carrying a sense of decay and a foul stench.

He hadn't concealed his breathing beforehand, so he was caught off guard and suffered a loss, causing him to frown.

"This smell... there's no need to look further; it's definitely murky spiritual energy."

Fortunately, I didn't buy it with any expectation of getting any positive energy; I just wanted to test the Advanced Night Repair serum.

Han Jieliu held the small black bottle and injected [Pyeongze Hemorrhage] into it.

The small black bottle lay quietly in his hand, without making a sound like when he absorbed the [Lower Abyss Qi] in the valley last time, which reassured Han Jieliu quite a bit.

"Maybe it was the startup animation last time..."

[Pingze stagnant air] was guided into the bottle, and the gray-blue air floated in the air for a long time without moving.

Just as Han Jieliu was disappointed and thought he had misunderstood,

The spiritual energy suddenly began to wriggle and pull at each other, eventually splitting into two.

One was clearly a mixture of water and soil, distinctly different from the one he had collected before, namely the "Xia Huo Han Qi" (a type of herbal tea). The other was extremely turbid, and after swaying in the bottle for a moment, it dispersed on its own, its whereabouts unknown.

Han Jieliu had no interest in where the turbid energy went. He looked at the newly born [Lower Hollow Qi], carefully examined it, and smiled.

"As expected, it's a [lower opening containing air]!"

"I was right. Since this little black bottle has the effect of accelerating the gathering of Qi by gathering spiritual energy, it must also have the function of clearing impurities and separating the two."

Seeing that his guess had actually come true, Han Jieliu's usually calm face was filled with excitement.

If this method is used, I can reduce the number of times I go to collect qi and reduce the risk of exposing the small black bottle.

More importantly, it allows one to gain something for free, bringing in a considerable amount of spirit stones.

"Selling one [Lower Qi Containment] costs eighty spirit stones, but buying it from that female cultivator only costs twenty spirit stones."

"This round trip yields a profit of sixty spirit stones. Even those sect elders would be tempted by such a sum."

However, Han Jieliu was not overwhelmed by this discovery. Instead, he calmed down and thought about it carefully.

"But this matter needs to be considered carefully. Huanan Market has been operating for so many years that it has already formed a pattern. The appearance of spiritual energy and magical artifacts of different levels is all in accordance with a pattern."

"After all, gathering spiritual energy and crafting magical artifacts both take time. I absolutely cannot rashly take out multiple streams of spiritual energy, lest someone notice something amiss."

"The most important thing now is to find that female cultivator again, or find a Qi-gathering spot that no one knows about."

Thinking about this, Han Jieliu felt somewhat helpless.

If I had discovered this earlier, I would have accepted the mission to go to the market again long ago, instead of letting Han Jieyu go again.

"I just hope that couple who used honey traps don't go far."

Beyond Guanglu Lake, on the north bank lies the territory of the Yinlin Zhou family, a place called Huojingping.

The Yinlin Zhou family is a famous family in Linjiang County, with several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators residing in the family, making them a powerful force in the region.

Its territory is vast, with many families and minor lineages nearby, making it far superior to the Huannan Ridge.

The Donglu Market is located on the east side of the lake. I'm afraid that if the couple goes north, I won't be able to find them.

"Let's see what fate has in store."

Han Jieliu didn't think much about it. He immediately activated his divine sense and prepared to take out the [Lower Hollow Containing Qi].

"Things of the metal element..."

Having learned the function of the little black bottle, Han Jieliu had already prepared various containers for storing qi, so he took out a small iron bottle.

He infused the floating spiritual energy into it, closed the lid, put it back into the storage bag, and said softly.

"It's a success."

Han Jieliu looked at the two gashs on the bag and pondered how to deal with them.

Although this "lower opening containing air" is related to my own "merging with water," the emphasis of my practice of "the method of all waters moistening and permeating" is on the word "all."

You need to ingest various types of spiritual energy to make rapid progress.

Consuming the same water-elemental energy will not only slow down cultivation, but will also be detrimental to seeking life in the future.

Therefore, I can only find a way to deal with the other problem, "lower opening containing air".
