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

Several days later, Han Jieliu had almost mastered the Zhushuihe Prefecture flag.

After he injected the [Netherworld Spring] into the flag, the resulting water palace was no longer just a simple shape.

Its appearance and shape have become much more solid, and it has added a cold and desolate atmosphere to the mansion, which can temporarily confuse the mind and shake the heart.

Han Jieliu waved and commanded it again, feeling quite satisfied.

"I request that all the spiritual waters be gathered within the flag, to be controlled and managed together. However, it is very compatible with my [Water Harmony] path and is easy to use."

"But it takes so much spiritual water to upgrade its grade, it's practically a money-devouring beast. If I didn't have the little black bottle, I probably wouldn't have been able to get it."

Han Jieliu put the French flag back into his storage bag and walked out of the restaurant.

I've been resting in Hushan City for the past few days, and now that two days have passed, it's time to go to the abandoned demon mansion as agreed with Li Mingjin.

Although the Lake Mountain Market has taken advantage of the large number of cultivators to hold a trade fair earlier than usual, which was originally held only once every three years, many good items have been displayed.

But having just bought the Zhushuihe Prefecture flag, his pockets were empty, and he couldn't afford any more talismans or pills for self-defense, so he simply headed straight to the small island outside the market.

Han Jieliu soared into the sky, gazing at the boundless lake below. He gently extended his divine sense, wary of any sudden appearances of spirits or monsters.

Although Guanglu Lake is named after a lake, it is actually incredibly vast, even larger than the entire Huannanling Mountains.

There are even powerful demons at the Foundation Establishment level within it, and they have signed an agreement with Xiaowei Mountain to not interfere with each other.

The islet that Li Mingjin mentioned was not the place he went to when he tested the Zhushui Hefu Banner; it was farther away.

After flying for a while, Han Jieliu saw the small island in the distance and found that Li Mingjin was already waiting on it.

"Brother Mingjin."

Han Jieliu sensed that there were no other presences around beforehand, and only then did he feel relieved enough to land.

"Brother Han, you're here early."

"I deliberately chose the time to have the trade fair held in Hushan City a few days earlier. Most cultivators are there now, so it will be much more discreet to come out and explore the mansion."

"The couple is coming from Huojingping; they'll be here in a while. Let's rest for a bit."

Li Mingjin smiled and took out the oath of entrustment that he had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Han Jieliu.

Han Jieliu took it in his hand and examined it carefully. The patterns and engravings were all unmistakable.

Having confirmed that it was no different from what he knew, he nodded and put it into his storage bag, then closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing Han Jieliu close his eyes, Li Mingjin watched silently, his mind wandering.

"Good mentality... After all, he is a cultivator from an upper sect. He is confident in his strength and is not afraid that I have set any ambush."

Li Mingjin was unaware that Han Jieliu had thoroughly searched the surrounding area before arriving and was still pondering the situation on his own.

His original plan for this trip was also for four people: himself, a rogue cultivator, and the Xu He couple.

But the rogue cultivator ran into trouble and suddenly disappeared, so Li Mingjin had no choice but to turn his attention to Han Jieliu.

After all, if it were just him and that couple going, the couple's cultivation level was relatively low, only at the first and second levels of Qi Refining.

However, the two of them were skilled in joint techniques, shared a deep bond, and worked together seamlessly.

If they really turn against each other because of some treasure, and I can't catch up with the speed, and my strength might not be enough to steadily overpower them, it would be better to find a fourth party to balance the power.

"With the three parties checking and balancing each other during this trip, the situation should be able to remain stable."

"It's just that Han Jieliu's cultivation level is not much different from mine, both being at the third level of Qi Refining. However, he has the foundation of a sect, so his combat strength should be slightly better than mine. I don't know if this invitation was the right or wrong decision."

Li Mingjin pondered carefully, and the two of them did not wait long on the small island before they saw two auras approaching from afar, which were none other than the Xu He couple.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we are late, please forgive us."

Xu Yiyi still looked charming and smiled gently, while her honest-looking husband He Zhushan behind her also apologized.

"You're too kind, Madam Xu. We just arrived ourselves."

Li Mingjin responded, and saw Xu Yiyi turn his head to look at Han Jieliu, who had opened his eyes, and then blink.

"This fellow Daoist must be the one Fellow Daoist Li mentioned. It's a pleasure to meet you, but why do you look so familiar..."

Before Li Mingjin could speak, Han Jieliu had already stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled slightly.

"Madam Xu is so forgetful, she doesn't recognize people in the blink of an eye. I used to patronize your business outside the market."

Xu Yiyi paused slightly upon hearing this, but saw that Han Jieliu's eyes were full of smiles, and he did not seem to blame him.

Cultivators have excellent memories. She recognized Han Jieliu's features and remembered him, and slowly opened her lips to speak.

"You flatter me... Fellow Daoist Han, you have a good memory. I have traveled to many places over the years and suddenly forgot about this matter."

"Ahem, did Fellow Daoist Han manage to cultivate any righteous energy from the spiritual energy he purchased back then?"

Han Jieliu shook his head with considerable regret.

"Unfortunately, I was unlucky and only obtained a trace of mixed energy."

The two men suddenly fell silent, both fully aware of the shady dealings involved in the transaction.

Xu Yiyi's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, though he was inwardly experiencing a headache.

"A transaction from over two years ago, I never imagined such a coincidence would happen. This kid actually found me. If he wants to exchange it for that spiritual energy, how am I supposed to explain it away? After all, I said back then..."

"Li Mingjin is really something. He should have found someone for me! Wasn't he supposed to be a rogue cultivator? Why did he bring in a member of the Han family?"

Meanwhile, Han Jieliu was also pondering how to bring up Xu Yiyi's other [Pingze Yuqi] to win him over.

"Xu Yiyi and I both know that the [Pingze Hesitation Qi] she sells only contains impurities and cannot contain any righteous qi. Even Li Mingjin is well aware of this."

"If I were to buy it under these circumstances, it would be no different from throwing away the spirit stones... It would inevitably arouse suspicion. This matter concerns the Little Black Bottle, so we must be cautious."

"But if one signs the oath of life and death, killing someone to steal their treasure is impossible, which is quite troublesome..."

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mingjin was afraid of delaying their visit to the mansion, so he spoke up.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's sign the oath first and head out as soon as possible, so as not to delay our journey."

Xu Yiyi readily agreed, and Han Jieliu could not say anything, so he had to leave the matter for later consideration.

Seeing this, Li Mingjin took out the Dao of Desperate Entrustment Oath Talisman. Xu Yiyi also recognized the item and knew its value, so he silently pondered it.

"As previously agreed, if any treasures appear, I will choose one first and will compensate you with spirit stones accordingly. The same applies to the rest."

"Teams are not allowed to attack or harm each other..."

Li Mingjin said everything that had been agreed upon beforehand, and neither Xu He and his wife nor Han Jieliu had any objections, so he slowly activated the talisman.

Han Jieliu applied a drop of blood to the talisman, and the moment it touched the talisman, he suddenly felt a mysterious aura appear in his soul.

Han Jieliu recognized him and was somewhat surprised.

This was clearly a trace of life force, though insignificant, it was exactly the same as the one he had sensed in the [Body Yin Stained] talismanic energy.
