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

Han Jieliu put aside his thoughts and walked into the market.

Upon entering, one can immediately sense the vibrant atmosphere within; it's bustling and lively.

It should be noted that only those who have obtained a token or are Qi Refining cultivators are allowed to enter Lake Mountain City.

Judging from this place alone, there are already dozens of Qi Refining cultivators, whose size is almost comparable to that of Huannan Ridge.

Han Jieliu walked forward and saw that the former stall had been divided into many smaller spaces, and an extra stall fee of one spirit stone was required.

Many Qi Refining cultivators set up stalls on the spot to sell their goods, haggling and arguing, making it almost as lively as the markets outside.

Han Jieliu casually looked around and noticed that the prices of all the talismans and pills had increased significantly, presumably because of the emergence of that cave dwelling.

There were more Buddhist artifacts available for sale, and the prices were lower than usual.

"What is the price of this scale armor?"

Han Jieliu walked to a stall where some miscellaneous items and magical artifacts were scattered around, with only two items being of the Qi Refining grade.

He casually picked up a piece of scale armor and asked, and the stall owner, a middle-aged cultivator, nodded in response.

"Fellow Daoist has a keen eye. This item is crafted from the scales of a spirit fish at the early stage of Qi Refining. It has been quenched in cold water, which can accelerate a cultivator's speed in water and help break through currents and guide the path. It is quite good among defensive magic artifacts of the same level, and it only costs forty spirit stones."

"Fellow Daoist, you must also be interested in exploring that Foundation Establishment cave, right? These scale armors are perfect for..."

Most of the magical artifacts sold by independent cultivators are obtained through killing and robbing. They have lost some of their spiritual essence in the process of fighting, or they are crudely made and resold.

In terms of quality, they cannot compare to the exquisite magic weapons of sects, so their prices are naturally much lower. Only a few magic weapons made or customized by master craftsmen can be sold at higher prices.

Han Jieliu wasn't interested in the low-grade scale armor; he simply wanted to set a price, so he shook his head and walked away.

A magic weapon at the early stage of Qi Refining was of little use to him, and few rogue cultivators outside could produce a magic weapon at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. He looked around for a while and then sighed softly.

"It seems I still can't save on spirit stones. If I want a magic weapon that suits my taste, I'll have to go to the magic weapon pavilion inside to buy it."

Han Jieliu stopped wandering around and went into the largest building in the city, where a bright signboard read "Zhuolang Pavilion".

This magical artifact shop is called Zhuolang Pavilion. It has a very prestigious background and is said to be related to a family of cultivators outside a certain prefecture. The quality of the magical artifacts it sells is even comparable to those from Xiaowei Mountain.

As far as he knew, shops of this size usually only appeared in large markets with Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge, so he didn't know why there was one in this small Donglu Market.

As soon as Han Jieliu entered, a shopkeeper greeted him. She was a female cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining.

"This Zhuolang Pavilion is truly magnificent; even the manager is a Qi Refining cultivator..."

Han Jieliu was somewhat surprised, but quickly calmed down and looked around.

The business of selling religious artifacts is a rare, large-scale operation, especially for boutique shops like Zhuolang Pavilion.

Even though there are now more cultivators in the market, the Zhuolang Pavilion is still empty, without a single guest.

The female cultivator's age was hard to guess; perhaps she took good care of herself and still looked to be in her early twenties. She smiled warmly as she spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, have you come to Zhuolang Pavilion to commission magical artifacts... or to make a sale?"

Hearing the female cultivator's words, Han Jieliu said softly.

"This is my first time here, please explain to me, shopkeeper."

The female cultivator nodded.

"My surname is He. Fellow Daoist, you may call me He Shengpei."

"My family's Zhuolang Pavilion can customize ritual implements according to your wishes, and we also have a business of selling or buying back ready-made exquisite ritual implements. I wonder what your purpose is in coming here."

"Custom-made is unnecessary. I wish to purchase a water-element ritual implement for spiritual refinement, and I need it immediately."

Han Jieliu thought for a moment and explained his purpose. He Shengpei was not surprised and nodded as he introduced him.

"I don't have many Qi-refining artifacts left in my family, but I do have three of them of the Water Virtue type. Please follow me, fellow Daoist."

Han Jieliu entered the back hall, but sensed a hidden divine sense sweeping over him. It was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. He thought to himself.

"As expected, there are mid-stage Qi Refining experts guarding this Zhuolang Pavilion, hiding in the shadows."

He Shengpei, who was standing to the side, seemed to be unaffected and led Han Jieliu to sit down in the back hall, where a maid immediately served tea.

Han Jie took a sip and knew that it had the effect of clearing one's mind, so he drank a few more sips.

He Shengpei waited a moment, then took out three treasure boxes from somewhere and slowly opened them.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, fellow Daoist. Please take a look."

"This first magical artifact is called---Uxi Cliff. It was created by a Foundation Establishment cultivator who collected a hundred-zhang-long cliff into a piece of earth and stone, carved magical patterns on it, and transformed it into a magical artifact."

"This treasure has the effect of driving and suppressing. It can be large or small. Once activated, it will produce the sounds of reefs roaring and waters crashing, and the roar of raging cliffs. It can shake the soul, lift the seawater, and has the power to control water and soil. It is a high-grade magic weapon for refining qi. It is priced at three hundred spirit stones."

Han Jieliu glanced at it but lost interest and continued drinking his tea.

This Wuxi Cliff is said to be a water-element ritual implement, but it is actually based on earth elements, which is not only unsuitable, but also too expensive for me to afford.

Seeing that Han Jieliu seemed uninterested, He Shengpei didn't elaborate further and opened the second one.

"The second magical artifact is called Flying Cloud Marsh Wall. It is made by taking the floating mist of the vast marsh and putting it into a jade wall. It is not visible on ordinary days, but when released, it takes the form of clouds and mist."

"Once unleashed, although it is not spiritual energy, it still has the effect of obscuring vision and causing clouds and water to fall, making people feel as if they are in a vast swamp of clouds and mist. It can activate water properties, allow for swift water escape, sense all directions, and trouble enemies. It is especially suitable for situations where one is fighting against many."

"It is a mid-grade Qi-refining magic artifact, requiring one hundred and sixty spirit stones."

This item is good, but it is lacking in both offensive and defensive capabilities, leaning more towards support and escape.

Aside from lacking defensive magical artifacts, the Flying Sword is no longer sufficient to meet Han Jieliu's needs.

Besides its defensive capabilities, this newly added magical artifact should ideally also possess some offensive capabilities.

Seeing that Han Jieliu was not very satisfied with the first two, He Shengpei remained unhurried.

After all, He Shengpei, as the manager of Zhuolang Pavilion, had secretly learned a strange method that allowed him to roughly discern a cultivator's realm and path of cultivation through his eyes.

Although Han Jieliu intentionally concealed his cultivation level and suppressed his spiritual energy, He Shengpei learned of his mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation and the path he was cultivating as soon as he stepped into the realm.

Therefore, he saved the most suitable magical artifact for last, and the previous ones were just preludes, and then he smiled lightly.

"Fellow Daoist, please look at this third magical artifact."

Seeing that Han Jieliu had already poured three pots of tea and was enjoying it, He Shengpei dared not delay any longer and took out the last magical artifact.

"This item is a low-grade Qi-refining magic artifact called the Zhushui Hefu Flag. It is an ancient cultivation magic artifact that my family acquired, and it has quite a powerful background."

"Once the flag is unleashed, the area covered by it will become a water palace, and the caster can act as the ruler of the palace, controlling the waters for attack and defense."

"Although its grade is not high, its purpose is great. The flag can contain spiritual water and use the power of spiritual water to nourish the flag body. If more spiritual water is added, the grade of this artifact can be continuously improved."

"Legend has it that this treasure was once a foundation-building artifact, but now all the spiritual water within has been lost, leaving only a trace of [Transformation Palace Water], which is why its grade has dropped."
