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

Time flies, and autumn passed that year, with two more rounds of white frost covering the ground.

In a cold, dark cave in the Huannan Ridge, several passages are haphazardly connected.

A chilling, icy wind howled through the cave, sharp and biting. If an ordinary mortal were here, their skin, flesh, and bones would be completely scraped away, and even a typical cultivator in the embryonic breathing stage would not be able to withstand it for long.

Therefore, there was no trace of cultivators here, only the occasional squeaks of rat demons.

This small animal has smooth, low-lying fur that helps to ward off the cold and damp, making it a rare living creature in this gloomy cave.

Han Jieliu, dressed in a light-colored robe, sat alone deep inside the cave, his aura clearly indicating that he had reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

He opened his eyes, retrieved the small black bottle floating in the air, and gently activated his divine sense. Looking at the five strands of black, withered energy floating in the bottle, he felt a sense of joy.

"Including this newly collected one, there are now five [Dry Yin in the Cave] Streams. Although they are just mixed energies, they can still be sold for thirty or forty spirit stones in total without any problem."

Since the Han family closed the mountain, Han Jieliu was finally able to focus on his cultivation without any distractions.

First, he spent a year consuming the [Lower Qi Containment], and then broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining with almost no obstacles.

The cultivation of Qi and nourishment progresses quite quickly at the beginning. As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient and it conforms to the path of cultivation, there are almost no bottlenecks.

Because they absorb spiritual energy, they also absorb its spiritual essence, so cultivators of this path have a greater understanding of the Dao than cultivators of the new method.

The ancient method is called the Way of Nourishing Life through Breathing, while the new method is the Way of the Golden Elixir of the Purple Palace.

Han Jieliu had both experienced cultivation and knew the difference between them.

The ancient method of refining qi requires the combination of multiple qi streams and continuous ingestion, while the new method only requires nurturing one stream of qi.

The ancient method of Dao foundation can be verified at will by taking various images, while the new method of Dao foundation seeks the inherent Dao foundation.

The latter was derived from the former, and disputes continued. The foundation-building master known as "Ji Liuzi" recorded a lot of things in "The Method of Moistening Nature with All Waters", which allowed Han Jieliu to know many ancient secrets.

The above records the dispute between the old and new methods, which originated more than a thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapsed, the status of the divine was overthrown, and the ancient methods had gradually declined.

Then a Daoist immortal with extraordinary talent, who had attained enlightenment and held a position, stepped forward and proposed a Daoist theory called the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao.

This path does not emphasize the cultivation of life and nature, but rather focuses on seeking one's true nature while remaining steadfast in one's practice.

Speaking of ancient methods, to reach the final stage of cultivation, one must continuously receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nurture a unique life.

If this thing gains the approval of the Heavenly Dao, it will transform into a "golden nature" and become a position of authority in the world.

At that time, when heaven and earth were first created, there was no such thing as fruit or metal. Or if there was, it was obscured and chaotic in the vast void.

They scatter into spiritual energy in all directions, or into strange and evil things in the world, into life and death, and even into some legendary great demons.

In the beginning of ancient cultivation, there were no paths such as "Yin Yang Two Offerings", "Five Virtues Thunder", "Qi Circulation and Evil Combination", "Flying True Shamanism" etc. They were all gradually sought and proved by the former masters and immortal lords.

The process of creating something from nothing is called "emptiness proof".

They are practically the creators of fruit flavors, and every move they make has a profound impact on fruit flavors.

However, when the immortal lords sought their positions, they essentially transformed a portion of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth into golden pills, which they then swallowed, thus achieving the Golden Pill realm.

They have almost transcended the concept of "human," their physical bodies are connected to the heavens, they live as long as the heavens, they are not subject to calamities, and even the heavenly way cannot do anything about them.

Many of the spiritual energies of heaven and earth were taken away and used, which indirectly led to the decline of spiritual energy and left no way for later cultivation.

The new law aims to return the position of enlightenment to the Heavenly Dao, establishing a rigorous framework for the path of cultivation so that future cultivators can gradually attain it and maintain the operation of this realm.

The power of the Fruit Rank is based on the Golden Core cultivator. Even those who attain the Golden Rank cannot achieve true immortality and longevity; instead, they are subject to the influence of the Fruit Rank.

However, the positions of immortals are all held by the Golden Core cultivators. The new method is to force those immortals who have already attained their positions to leave, which the latter naturally find absurd.

As a result, the conflict between the two sides became acute, leading to a major war known in history as the "Xin-Gu conflict".

But the result was unexpected. The immortal who proposed the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Path also emerged through ancient methods, but only attained the fruition in vain.

The new sect has few Golden Core cultivators and is relatively weak, but with the power of that immortal alone, they have caused the Heavenly Palace and various sects to fall one after another, and the Great Dao has wept countless times.

Many of those who practiced the ancient method of elixirs perished, either fleeing to the heavens or abandoning their positions to hide in celestial realms.

After this matter was concluded, some said that the immortal was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, while others said that he was the Dao Ancestor who reshaped this world.

But ultimately, only one result was reached: the new law overshadowed the old law and became the prevailing trend.

After the immortal had done everything, he left behind only four words, which were heard by all the people in the world, before disappearing.

"This is morality..."

"This is morality."

Han Jieliu's mind was in turmoil as he pondered its meaning.

They kill everyone who doesn't do what they want, and then leave behind the excuse that this is morality. No wonder the moral standards in this world are so low.

But Han Jieliu dared not say it aloud: in this world, the power of cultivators was simply immeasurable.

It is said that cultivators of the Purple Mansion can see and hear for thousands of miles, and can easily visit a prefecture, flatten a mountain in an instant, and fill a lake in the blink of an eye.

If I were to presumptuously discuss figures like immortal lords, I might be struck by lightning from the heavens at any moment.

"Although we are now in the midst of a great struggle between ancient and new methods, the ancient methods have not been extinct. For example, the Upper Sect Xiaowei Mountain is an ancient method sect."

Han Jieliu thought to himself softly.

But it makes sense, after all, the ancient methods have a profound foundation. After that immortal disappeared, the ancient methods have regained momentum and are now coexisting with the new methods.

Even Han Jieliu couldn't understand the meaning behind this. Perhaps Ji Liuzi was just repeating hearsay, and there were even more secrets involved that he couldn't possibly know at the moment.

The only thing he knew was that with the Little Black Bottle, his future path was bound to the ancient methods, that is, the path of cultivating one's inner nature and cultivating one's character, and he would not be able to easily break free from it.

"This world of cultivation is shrouded in mystery, and nothing can be confirmed. The only thing that can be confirmed is the little black bottle in my hand."

"Embryonic breathing, Qi refining, Foundation building, Purple Mansion, Golden Elixir..."

"If I wish to advance further on the path, I will inevitably need to seek life in the future, which is extremely elusive."

"As one's cultivation deepens, the path of cultivating one's inner nature will only become more profound. Without exceptional wisdom, one might not even be able to understand the meaning of the book."

Han Jieliu silently looked at the small black bottle, hoping to find some solution from it.

The little black bottle seemed to have heard some kind of plea, and it began to tremble slightly.

Han Jieliu looked inside and saw that the five [Dry Yin in the Cave] in the small black bottle had somehow merged into one, emitting a mysterious and extraordinary aura.

Han Jieliu took two steps back, looking at the changes with extreme surprise.

Finally, the withered and gloomy atmosphere merged with an indescribable and mysterious aura, forming a talisman-like aura with a light black background and a faint yin energy.

The moment Han Jieliu caught a glimpse of it, he felt the aura of the talisman drawing him in wildly, causing his body to surge with energy.

Suppressing this feeling, Han Jieliu looked closely.

The inscription above contained four long, thin characters, as if written by some being himself, and was incredibly mysterious. It was called "[Body Yin Pervaded]".
