After hearing the introduction, Han Jieliu was shocked.

This magical artifact is actually an ancient cultivation artifact, so it must be something passed down from the Dao of Qi Cultivation and Self-Nourishing, and it should be suitable for me.

The spiritual water needed for this incomplete magical artifact is perfectly suited to my little black bottle, and it might even have unexpected effects in my hands.

Han Jieliu had many thoughts on his mind, but he didn't show any emotion. Instead, he sat quietly drinking tea and waiting for He Shengpei to continue.

Seeing that Han Jieliu remained silent, He Shengpei had no choice but to continue.

"Fellow Daoist, although this magic artifact is only of the lower grade of Qi Refining, it is priced at two hundred spirit stones."

Although Han Jieliu was tempted, he deliberately frowned and put down his teacup.

"Shopkeeper, although this magic artifact has a prestigious origin, its ancient cultivation method may not be suitable for me, and as a low-grade Qi-refining magic artifact, the price is far too high."

"Besides, since your Zhuolang Pavilion is willing to sell it, you must have already studied its secrets, so there must be nothing special about it."

He Shengpei smiled and said softly.

"Since you cultivate the virtue of water, collecting the spiritual water of heaven and earth must be easy for you. This item has the potential to be upgraded to a Foundation Establishment magic weapon, and its abilities are also very comprehensive. In the future, it may be passed down as a family treasure."

Han Jieliu's face darkened, and he shook his head.

"Shopkeeper, you make it sound so easy. It's not that simple. Let alone whether I can find that much spiritual water, if I could really infuse it with multiple streams of spiritual water, the spirit stones I would spend would be enough to buy a Foundation Establishment magic artifact."

After discussing it for a while, Han Jieliu finally bought it for 185 spirit stones, with two catties of spirit tea as a bonus.

Han Jieliu put down all his possessions, 163 spirit stones, and sold the Flying Clear Sword for 22 spirit stones, finally managing to acquire the Zhushuihe Prefecture flag.

Both of them looked regretful, feeling they had suffered a great loss, but in their hearts they were secretly pleased.

My own golden finger is perfect for collecting spiritual water. After buying this magic flag, it can be used for both offense and defense, and it also has the effect of establishing a palace and controlling water. I suppose I won't need to add any magic artifacts before I reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

He Shengpei finally sold the magical artifact that had been sitting in his possession for so long.

After all, the flag is only of low-grade Qi Refining level. Upgrading it would be like a bottomless pit, and with a price comparable to that of a high-grade Qi Refining magic weapon, few people are willing to inquire about it.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care. If you need any magical artifacts next time, please come to my Zhuolang Pavilion..."

He Shengpei saw him to the door, and Han Jieliu took the communication talisman from Zhuolang Pavilion, nodded, and left.

Instead of heading into the market, he went straight to Guanglu Lake and flew dozens of miles away before stopping.

Now that I have just acquired the Zhushuihefu Banner, and will soon be heading to the Demon Palace, I might as well take this opportunity to get used to it and see what's so special about this ancient cultivator's magical artifact.

Han Jie was stranded on a small island. After his spiritual aperture was shattered, he practiced the "Method of Nourishing Nature with All Waters".

He relied on consuming spiritual energy to improve his cultivation, but his level in the "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue" remained at the second level of Qi Refining without any progress.

Although the practice of cultivating one's vital energy is an ancient method, it focuses on nurturing one's life force and requires forging a unique path.

However, the ancient times have been around for a long time, and those fruits that are easy to verify and have been proven long ago have already been verified by people. The cultivation methods that can be practiced are all passed down from the upper levels.

Unless one is a reincarnated immortal or a beloved figure of the Heavenly Dao, attaining a higher level of enlightenment from nothing is probably more difficult than ascending to heaven.

No matter how much one cultivates one's life force, nothing can be achieved. Therefore, later ancient cultivators also followed the lineage proven by their predecessors, only developing some things that suited them, such as the foundation of the Dao.

This trend was probably the precursor to the later new method—the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao.

The biggest difference between the ancient method and the new method is that the former allows for very casual cultivation before the Purple Mansion Realm, as can be seen from absorbing spiritual energy and creating one's own Dao foundation.

However, if one does not survive or gain some wisdom to comprehend new things, it will be difficult to ascend to the Purple Palace and attain supernatural powers.

The latter, however, has strict rules and can only lead to the attainment of a fixed Dao foundation from the cultivation method. For example, my original "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue" could only lead to the attainment of one immortal foundation, "Jing Jie Chuan".

The so-called "fixed pursuit of truth" will lead to failure and death if the proof is wrong or does not meet one's expectations.

However, it becomes much easier after reaching the Purple Mansion Golden Core stage. As long as one's cultivation is sufficient, even if one's Dao wisdom is lacking, one can still successfully attain supernatural powers.

The "Method of All Waters Moistening and Immersing" is also a lineage of the "Water Harmony" doctrine, seeking the harmony of all waters, encompassing a very broad range.

It is consistent with the lineage of the "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue", which is probably why I was able to continue my cultivation without any impact.

Han Jieliu stopped thinking about it and gently stepped on the water, which supported him as if it were flat ground.

He took out the banner of the Zhushuihe Prefecture, gently unfurled it, and observed its appearance.

The banner of the Zhushuihe Prefecture was entirely azure blue, and its design and shape were very ancient. Han Jieliu looked closely and saw a line of small characters engraved on the bottom: "For the Northern Prefecture Lord's Hand".

"To be in charge of the Northern Lord."

Han Jieliu read it once, but couldn't understand its meaning.

So he activated it directly, and a kind of spiritual water immediately emerged from the small flag, changing and swirling, which was the [Transformation Palace Water].

"Imperial edict."

As spiritual energy was channeled in, the flag became the eye, and the spiritual water formed the structure. The surrounding lake water surged up, enveloping him like a giant, transparent canopy.

Han Jieliu immediately felt that a simple area had been enveloped around him, isolated from the large lake below, making it exceptionally independent.

"Is this the water palace that He Yupei mentioned?"

Han Jieliu sensed the changes around him.

Although this "Water Palace" is very simple and incomplete now, it is almost entirely built from ordinary lake water, with only a small amount of "Transformation Palace Water" maintaining its shape.

But within this, I could feel a different kind of sensation, a power to control all the waters.

Within this water palace, I am its ruler, able to freely control all the waters.

Under its control, water can be made into wheels and carriages, into swords and arrows.

It can truly be said that he can transform into anything and has all kinds of changes at his fingertips.

"How wondrous! This feeling is something that a low-grade Qi-refining magic artifact can achieve."

Upon seeing this, Han Jieliu's doubts about it being a Foundation Establishment artifact vanished instantly, and he even began to wonder if it had some greater origin.

As he withdrew his magic power, the floating array flags immediately fell back into his hand, which he gently stroked.

"Adding other spiritual waters can enhance the power and grade of this Zhushui Hefu Banner."

After thinking for a moment, Han Jieliu decided to give it a try immediately.

So he took out the [Netherworld Spring of Intent] from his storage bag, which he had prepared to use to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and poured it into the spring.

[The Spring of Intent in the Dark] merged into the Dharma Flag, and Han Jieliu probed it with his divine sense, learning some new things.

"Including the core [Transformation Water], it takes three to break through to the middle level of Qi Refining, and five to advance to the upper level of Qi Refining. Only by adding Foundation Establishment level spiritual water can one return to the Foundation Establishment level."

After understanding everything, Han Jieliu dived into the lake again to test the effects of the artifact in other environments.

Only then did they put away the banners of Zhushuihe Prefecture and head back towards the direction of Hushanfang Market.
