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

It was early summer, and the Jiaoyu Road was extremely hot, so much so that the road surface had cracked in several places.

Most of the servants and laborers who accompanied the merchants were poor people who came here just to make a living, so naturally they didn't have the money to go to the Red Chamber for a good time.

The only pleasure is to come here for a drink, so there are quite a few guests in Kuai Zui Lou.

"Sir, would you like to go to a private room upstairs? It's quiet there."

Having received instructions from the doorman, and with exceptional respect from the person in charge of serving inside the building, Han Jieliu inquired.

"No need. Just find a quiet spot, bring out your best dishes, and add a few more jugs of wine."

Although gold and silver are useless for cultivating immortality, at most they are sometimes used as a medium for practitioners of the [Gold Virtue] path to perform rituals.

However, Han Jieliu always kept some silver in his storage bag and gave it to them in advance.

The waiter, having received his payment, was overjoyed and became even more convinced of Han Jieliu's formidable identity. He then respectfully withdrew.

Although Han Jieliu was very cautious when he was out, he could still try the wine of ordinary mortals. After all, a cultivator of the [He Shui] lineage could get drunk after a few jugs of wine.

Having consumed spiritual rice for many years, even now, upon arriving at the tavern, his appetite is gently aroused.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

The food and wine were served quickly, and Han Jieliu ate casually while his divine sense spread out, encompassing the entire Kuai Zui Lou.

He overheard the conversations of all the merchants, warriors, porters, and even the cooks preparing food in the back room.

There was a reason why I chose this restaurant: I had scouted the entire town beforehand and found the presence of two cultivators in a private room in the restaurant.

Both were young, in their early twenties, a brother and sister, and both were at the late stage of the Fetal Breathing cultivation level.

The clothes and accessories on his body also lacked any spirituality, except for the storage bag at his waist, which was faintly wrapped in a thin silk cloth to conceal his aura, clearly indicating that he was also disguised as a mortal.

Neither of them looked like they were from Linjiang County; they had come from Donghe County along the Jiaoyu Road.

The female cultivators were very cautious, casting spells to conceal their words before speaking, but Han Jieliu's cultivation was far superior, and he heard every single word.

The boy spoke in a rough manner, and smiled at his sister.

"Sister, our arrival in Linjiang County is perfectly timed. I've heard that a cave dwelling has emerged on Guanglu Lake, which was once the residence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Let's go take a look..."

"Nonsense! Don't think about other things."

The woman looked around, shook her head, and stopped, seemingly afraid that her eccentric younger brother would cause some trouble.

"You're used to being tough at home, and you don't restrain yourself when you go out. In the old village, your father is there to protect you, and the other families are afraid that my Liu family has a late-stage Qi Refining expert to protect them, so they give way a bit."

"Even now, when we're in other places, we still have the same temperament. If we encounter any trouble, how will we two embryonic cultivators escape?"

"Uncle's breakthrough in spiritual energy is of utmost importance. If you cause trouble on your first solo outing, you should stay home until you successfully refine your energy before venturing out again..."

Seeing his sister Liu Chongqiao's attitude, Liu Chongqi could only give up and mutter softly.

"The highest level in the Huannan Ridge is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. I have the [Wide-Sleeve Cloud-Leaving Talisman] given to me by my father in my bag. Once I ride the Qi, I can escape into the clouds. Even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator can't stop me. What's there to be afraid of?"

"If this cave dwelling falls into the hands of the Yinlin Zhou family, whoever gets the opportunity might not be able to produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

But he didn't say it aloud, and Liu Chongqiao knew that his younger brother had always acted on his own whims since childhood, which had fostered an arrogant personality that couldn't be stopped by words.

His worries deepened, and he only hoped to quickly go to Leijun City to buy that spiritual energy and complete the task assigned to him by his family.

The two left the restaurant with their own thoughts, leaving Han Jieliu alone to ponder.

"The foundation-building cave of Guanglu Lake has emerged... The Liu family, a family of immortal cultivators from Donghe County, has a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in their family, and their size is roughly equivalent to that of the Yinlin Zhou family."

This unexpected news surprised Han Jieliu, who began to ponder it quietly, gaining some new insights into his upcoming trip to the market.

"The appearance of this cave is perfectly timed. After I finish dealing with my business, I can go and see what's going on."

Although he is now at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, his cultivation level is already considered quite impressive in Huannan Ridge.

However, this incident occurred on the vast and misty Guanglu Lake, where there were various families living along the lake, and even more so, a spirit-inspired monster that was born in the lake.

Information that even a minor cultivator of fetal breathing from the East could detect could not possibly escape the notice of these creatures with their keen sense of smell, like wolves and foxes.

Not to mention the appearance of a cave dwelling for Foundation Establishment cultivators, which is quite extraordinary. If it were to cause a stir, it might even alarm the Upper Sect's Xiaowei Mountain.

After all, it was the former residence of a cultivator of the same level. Those Foundation Establishment ancestors would not care. Even if they did not personally intervene, they would send their disciples to act on their behalf.

If such an opportunity falls into the hands of a family below, it is possible that they could cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator. We should use our methods to subdue them.

"I just don't know if the outer formation of this cave has been broken yet, and how long has the news been leaked..."

"If it has already been occupied by those great cultivators, I will wait on the edge for a while and keep an eye on those cultivators who come out to retrieve the treasure. I will eventually gain something."

If the rogue cultivators who have taken the treasure flee southwards, they will inevitably be intercepted.

Such methods yield uncertain returns, but also carry little risk; it's a risk-free business.

The boy's message was vague, or perhaps he had only overheard it by chance, making it difficult for Han Jieliu to judge. Therefore, he decided to first send a message home to explain the situation.

"There seems to be a cave dwelling on Guanglu Lake, a remnant of a major foundation-building project. It's likely that several powerful forces are eyeing it. If our family has the resources, we could acquire some of it from the outskirts..."

As for the departure of the two Liu siblings, Han Jieliu had no intention of intercepting or killing them.

Although these two were tasked with buying spiritual energy for their home, they must have plenty of spirit stones on them.

However, the young man possessed a [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Dispelling Talisman] at the late stage of Qi Refining. Just from the name, one could tell it was a [Pure Qi] Dao flying talisman, making it impossible to catch up.

Not only will they fail to obtain anything, but if their identities are revealed, they will also needlessly create an enemy for their family.

"That Liu Chongqi, relying on his family's protection, will probably be restless and will make a trip to the cave. We might even run into him."

After everything was done, Han Jieliu waited quietly in the restaurant for a while, and the news he heard later was of little use.

The top courtesan of the Red Sleeve Pavilion was reportedly redeemed, and it seems a monk spent a fortune to marry her.

In many places in southern China, there have been numerous cases of ordinary people dying violently and losing all their life force, which is suspected to be caused by the presence of demonic cultivators.

"You're marrying a geisha who's already been discarded by a businessman, treating her like a treasure? You've completely disgraced cultivators..."

"As for the demonic cultivators, they must have come from other counties and have nothing to do with my family."

Han Jieliu shook his head and left the restaurant. There was no need for him to pretend to be an ordinary person anymore. He rode the wind and flew away, causing a group of ordinary people below him to kneel down in a hurry.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the immortal, respectfully bidding farewell to the immortal..."
