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

"Selling one shouldn't be a problem, after all, I've already collected a portion from Dasuyuan, so there aren't other ways to obtain this spiritual energy..."

Han Jieliu pondered to himself.

Take the Han family as an example. Lingzhu Hall is responsible for collecting a stream of "Azure Qi" every two to five years in the bamboo forest behind the mountain using the Qi-gathering method. This Qi is used by the family to cultivate the "Azure Spirit Yuan Gong".

One can also gather spiritual energy such as "Autumn Breeze" and "Small Pure Spiritual Energy" from Mengtan Mountain.

For small clans that do not have a family mountain or a fixed territory, the benefits of this kind of energy gathering are the core of their survival.

Although the Qi gathering process for embryonic breathing cultivators is much slower than that for Qi refining cultivators, it is still the only way.

In this situation, if I only throw two "lower-level openings" into the market, it probably won't cause much of a stir. Only if I throw more might some interested people take notice.

As for the master and apprentice I met in the valley, whether they could sell the energy they extracted or whether they would be targeted by others, that was none of my concern.

"There's an order to things. Since you stole a wisp of my spiritual energy, you can only blame your bad luck..."

After silently considering this, Han Jieliu put away the small black bottle and began to cultivate cross-legged on the bed.

······

Early morning five days later.

Spurred on by the sword cultivators, Han Jieliu is currently practicing the "Central Gorge Intercepting Sword Technique" in the mountains.

Han Jieyu then successfully led the chattering group back to the Han family.

The Swift Azure Boat landed on the stone platform and was stored away. Two Qi Refining cultivators were once again stationed at the house.

So Han Jin left the pass and went to Dasuyuan.

"Sir, this is the place..."

Han Jin, who was holding a sword in front, was pointing out the direction to a barbarian covered in patterns. It was Hu Erbao, who was pointing out the direction with a fawning expression.

Hu'erbao spent five days in prison, living in fear and anxiety. According to the customs of the Wuman, he was afraid every day that someone would grab him by the head, drag him out, and kill him.

This morning, a dignified-looking cultivator in blue robes took himself out of the prison.

Hurbao immediately recognized that this person had a similar aura to the king of his tribe.

He wasn't a habitual killer who had developed a cruel and ruthless demeanor, yet his imposing presence carried a touch of gentleness; he must be the leader of this family.

Seeing that he wanted her to point out the direction where the aura of the witch was found, she quickly realized her role and flattered him to save her life.

Are you sure this is the place?

Han Jinwei looked at the barbarian in his hand and found it amusing.

You should know that the barbarians on the plains all have this kind of personality; they would have already expanded eastward long ago.

"It is indeed the Lord of this place. There is still an aura of bloodthirsty witchcraft here."

Hurbao quickly replied.

Seeing the trees below trampled down by the demon and the messy ground, Han Jinwei became more certain.

He cast a spirit-detecting spell in his hand, then landed below with the Hur Leopard in his arms.

The soil on the ground was chaotic, as if it had been completely turned over by a large plow, making it very difficult to find a foothold.

Han Jin found a flat spot to land and gently observed the area.

"The latent rise of blood and qi, and the decay and prolongation of life, are signs of the mixing of those two lineages."

"That barbarian is right. It was the Yuan family's doing that drove the demons and created a beast tide towards my home."

As the current head of the Han family, Han Jinwei had read all the secret histories of the clan and, after connecting them all, he already had the answer in his heart.

His hatred for the Yuan family had grown stronger, but his expression remained calm. He put down the Huerbao in his hand and addressed him.

"Although you broke into my house without authorization and your whereabouts are unknown, you should be killed as a warning to others. However, you also brought this news, so your merits and demerits can be considered equal."

"Now that I have brought you to the Great Stupa, I will give you two choices."

"One option is for you to leave now, find your way back to your tribe in the forest, and be your carefree chieftain; I won't stop you."

"Secondly, you can join my Han family. My family has a lineage of witchcraft that can reach the late stage of Qi Refining. I will pass it on to you. Judging from your age, you are only in your thirties. Witchcraft techniques can be mastered quickly, and you have some foundation. In the future, you may be able to absorb a mouthful of righteous Qi and become a Qi Refining cultivator."

"Two paths lie before you; you shall see which one you choose."

Hu'erbao knelt on the ground, then suddenly raised his head to look at Han Jinwei, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he held a very high position in the tribe, being the son of the previous tribal chief.

However, the techniques passed down from the previous master only included the fetal breathing technique, at most allowing one to inhale a mouthful of mixed qi, with no further advancement possible.

The fact that the middle-aged man in front of him claimed to be able to teach him a witchcraft method that leads directly to Qi cultivation left him utterly astonished.

Although Hu'erbao was a barbarian, he had his own ambitions and a desire to achieve Qi Refining and live to be 150 years old.

Seeing such an opportunity presented to him, he paused slightly, his heart trembling with shock.

The thought of returning to the tribe vanished instantly, and he immediately bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty... no, Lord of the household. I, Hu'erbao, am willing to serve you with my life, even at the cost of my life, as your vanguard."

The tongue-twisting words made Hu Erbao's mouth water. He thought of almost every respectful phrase he knew, but in the end, he could only come up with these few words.

Han Jinwei looked at Huerbao kneeling before him without speaking, but simply drew his Lingqing sword from his waist and attached a soft blue light to it.

He used the sword to cut off the leopard's disheveled tail hair, shaved off the markings on its skin, and removed its barbarian characteristics.

Even with the gentle blue light as a supplement, the leopard was covered in blood and its flesh was in pain, yet it did not utter a sound.

Han Jinwei remained calm, patted Hu Erbao's back with his sword, and told him to raise his head. He spoke softly.

"From now on, you will be one of the four non-family members under the Han family's rule. Cultivate diligently, marry a branch family member, and have more spiritual children."

"If one reaches the Mixed Qi realm or higher, then the surname Han will be bestowed upon the descendant, and they may be admitted to a minor branch of my family."

Huerbao's eyes were filled with tears, whether from emotion or pain, he bowed again with heartfelt admiration.

"Thank you, Patriarch! Thank you, Patriarch! Hu'erbao will certainly live up to your expectations..."

······

In the more than 520 years since Xiaoweishan came to power, the Han family of Huannanling suddenly announced that they had closed the mountain.

After Han Jin finished exploring the Great Stupa, he returned home and immediately contacted a familiar array master to set up an array.

The formation is a Dao Refining Qi early stage formation called Qingkuan Defense Formation. It is very good at defending against external enemies and cost over a hundred spirit stones.

The family then sent Han Chiting, the chief priest, to conduct a grand clan ceremony, which quelled the impact of the beast tide.

At the grand ceremony, the sight of the tiger demon corpse at the sixth level of Qi Refining shocked many witnesses and established the Han family's authority.

The news that the Han family encountered a beast tide and subsequently chose to close the mountain also had a significant impact on the entire Huannanling area.

The Yuan and Wang families remained relatively quiet, but many small clans and independent cultivators began to have ideas. They believed that since the beast tide had just ended at Mengtan Mountain, there should be no danger, and they wanted to enter to seek some opportunities.

Han Jieliu was completely unaware of these developments at the time.

After failing to improve his kendo practice and seeking guidance from Han Jinwei to no avail, he simply stopped wasting his energy on this path.

He quietly swallowed the [Lower Aperture Containing Qi], preparing to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
