Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle
Chapter 5 It rains suddenly
The cool breeze in the high sky dispelled the lingering heat in my mind.
Han Jieliu regained his composure and arrived at Caiwu Peak.
Han Jieliu hadn't cultivated any spiritual eye techniques, but he sensed with his divine sense that there seemed to be someone standing at the entrance of his cave.
He stopped his flying sword at a distance and looked at the figure, which he could vaguely make out as Dao Zhuoyue's figure.
The man seemed to be at the early stage of Qi Refining as well. He sensed Han Jieliu's approach and gently raised his hand to beckon.
Based on his memory, Han Jieliu guessed the identity of the person who came.
"It's the junior sister that the original owner saved."
Sure enough, as a jade ring-shaped magical artifact drew near, the beautiful junior sister sitting above appeared before Han Jieliu.
Xue Yiqing, the personal disciple of that martial uncle.
She was biting her lip slightly, looking at herself with a mixture of gratitude and complicated emotions.
"Senior Brother Han..."
She noticed that although the senior's behavior was no different from before, his personality seemed to have changed somewhat.
Especially regarding her own attitude, she assumed it was due to that incident, and looked at Han Jieliu with some hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Han Jieliu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he had already become wary.
At this critical juncture, although he did not know the inside story of the sect, he could not afford to spend any more time with his junior sister.
Although this junior sister was indeed beautiful, beauty was of no use to him now, so he gently asked, cupping his sleeves.
"What brings Junior Sister Xue here?"
Xue Yiqing knew that Han Jieliu had severed his path to enlightenment because of saving her, and seeing his expression like this...
Thinking that Han Jieliu still harbored resentment, Rouwan's expression softened even more, and she said in a low voice.
"I should have come to see you sooner because of Senior Brother Han's life-saving grace, but you have been recuperating for a month and have not seen me. I have not been able to find an opportunity until today when I learned that you went out to Jiaoxu Peak, so I am waiting here."
Before Han Jieliu could speak, she blinked her beautiful eyes, gritted her teeth, and seemed to have made up her mind.
"I know that it was because you saved me that you ruined your cultivation path. If the family allows it, I will definitely repay you with my body. However, my cultivation was given to me by the family."
My resolve is not firm enough to abandon my cultivation to see you, Senior Brother. I fear I would only cause you trouble. But having heard you were leaving, I came to see you one last time.
After saying that, she took out a stack of things from her storage bag.
"Senior brother, I don't have any other special skills, except that I can draw some talismans. Please accept these talismans and the book, so that I can have peace of mind."
"This book is called 'The Essentials of Talismans,' a talisman inheritance that I obtained outside. Only you and I have seen it. Senior Brother Han, you can pass it down as a family heirloom without causing any trouble."
"These dozen or so Qi Refining level talismans are what I've drawn these past few days. They include various early-stage attack, defense, and reconnaissance talismans, two Concealing Breath talismans, and two mid-stage Qi Refining Swiftness talismans. Please accept them, Senior Brother."
Han Jieliu sheathed his flying sword and stood upright, braving the wind.
Seeing that Junior Sister Xue was talking so loudly, he was also surprised.
According to the original owner's memories, in the three years he spent with this junior sister, he heard her say less than half of what she said now.
It seems she really feels bad about being injured and unable to walk.
Actually, since Han Jieliu personally inherited all the memories, he could still sense that the original owner might have had some affection for this junior sister, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to save her.
"It's just a pity that the person I am now is me..."
Han Jieliu's expression was strange. He recalled some unpleasant comic book plots from his previous life, which seemed to have some similarities to what was happening now.
He immediately straightened his expression, knowing from his past life's experience how to maximize the use of this affection.
So he accepted the things Xue Yiqing offered without hesitation and gently advised her.
"Junior Sister Xue, there's no need for that. It's already difficult for us cultivators from small clans to break through to the Qi Refining stage. It's just a matter of the early, middle, and late stages. How can we even hope to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"If this hadn't happened, I might never have been able to return to my family."
"It's a good deal to trade my dull talent for my junior sister's future. Junior Sister Xue, you must cultivate diligently from now on, and also share my path in the cultivation..."
Xue Yiqing is a few years younger than Han Jieliu. She is currently in the ninth grade, which would be equivalent to a high school student in her previous life. She has never left the sect.
Hearing this initially reassured her somewhat, but the last sentence almost made her burst into tears.
She gazed at Han Jieliu with teary eyes, seemingly struggling with some inner conflict.
Finally, she took out a blue jade pendant from her bosom, her voice choked with sobs.
The cyan jade pendant did not appear to be made of any ordinary material; it bore the character "Xue".
"I...I feel guilty towards Senior Brother Han. If you ever need anything in the future, you can use this jade pendant to visit Zhengqing Peak once."
Xue Yiqing, Xue...
As far as I know, that sword cultivator uncle who is in the late stage of Qi Refining seems to also be surnamed Xue, no wonder.
"Junior Sister Xue, what is your relationship with that Uncle Xue...?"
"My parents died when I was young, and my uncle had no children, so I was taken care of by this uncle in my family."
Xue Yiqing answered softly.
How is this any different from a father and daughter...? It's a good favor, and it might even be a favor for a future Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Han Jieliu's heart was also moved, and he quickly comforted Junior Sister Xue again.
After a moment, Xue Yiqing finally calmed down, exchanged mail addresses with Han Jieliu, and left somewhat embarrassed.
He gently gave them some instructions before they left.
"Senior Brother Han, please be careful on your trip."
Han Jieliu knew she might be implying something, so he nodded in agreement.
He personally rode the wind to send Xue Yiqing away from Caiwu Peak.
Back in his cave, Han Jieliu took out the jade pendant and held it in his hand.
The jade pendant was icy cold and had no special effects, but Han Jieliu felt at ease holding it.
He was merely an inner disciple of Xiaowei Mountain, and now he was nothing more than a minor clan cultivator who had left the sect.
This favor is neither insignificant nor insignificant.
But at least now that I have this jade pendant, I have some kind of proof.
It should be noted that the entire Linjiang County is almost under the control of Xiaowei Mountain. As long as that senior uncle forms a supernatural power and achieves Foundation Establishment, he will be able to achieve his goal.
As long as he and the Han family didn't have a blood feud with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could all escape a major disaster thanks to this jade pendant.
Han Jieliu put away the jade pendant and looked outside the cave.
It had started raining outside sometime earlier, the rain falling softly and continuously, bringing with it the watery energy that resonated with my Daoist nature.
Looking up, all that could be seen from Caiwu Peak and the surrounding area was a hazy, empty expanse.
The snow that had accumulated high up and had not yet melted fell silently to the ground with the drizzle and disappeared.
As the new year begins, the grass and trees that grow vigorously across the mountains in the springtime season do not bend because of the rain; instead, they become even more vibrant as they are nourished.
Even the brightly colored peach branches suddenly sprouted a few blossoms, swaying gently in the raindrops.
"Why is the rain suddenly so heavy?"
Han Jieliu noticed that even the crevices in the rocks of the cave were seeping rain stains, which puzzled him. He used his spiritual energy to draw out a trace of rainwater.
The first touch of the spring rain was icy, but it was followed by a warm sensation.
Han Jieliu seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at his sleeve.
The light blue uniform robe worn by Xiaoweishan was soaked through by the rain sometime during that time.
"When did this happen...?"
The clothes close to the body changed, but the person was completely unaware, as if the rain had appeared out of nowhere.
Judging from how soaked the robes were, they had been there for quite some time.
Han Jieliu felt a chill run down his spine and looked around.
"When was it? Was it while talking to Junior Sister Xue, or... sometime before that I was already affected?"
Han Jieliu dared not think too much and suddenly froze on the spot as a terrible possibility appeared in his mind.
Such methods of altering the climate and changing the natural order of a place without people noticing are probably only achievable through foundational construction and major renovations.
