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

Han Jieliu put away "Guangxiao's Wonderful Answer on Pregnancy and Nourishment".

This is a cultivation technique that leads directly to the Foundation Establishment stage. Apart from the "Zhu Qing Ling Yuan Jue", there are no other cultivation techniques of this level in my family.

What puzzled Han Jieliu was that this method was clearly an ancient one, and to establish one's own foundation for the Dao should be a very secretive one.

But why could even Xiling Sanren see through and know this method of "nurturing a source of trouble" at a glance?

It seems that this "nurturing the seed of disaster" is like a new law, with some fixed method of seeking it.

"As far as I know, five fixed foundations have already been established along the path of the new law."

"If a cultivator wants to seek it, he can only seek one path according to his own cultivation method, just like the Dao foundation [Jingjiechuan] corresponding to the Yujing Sanchuan Jue."

"Perhaps there is a relationship of mutual influence between ancient and modern methods."

Han Jieliu put down Xu Niangzi's storage bag, glanced at He Zhushan's storage bag, and even felt there was no need to open it.

After all, He Zhushan had long been refined into an external manifestation of the "Calamity Embryo," and was no longer human-like, so there probably wasn't anything inside.

Sure enough, when Han Jieliu opened it, he found only a pile of insect molts and food; the storage bag was just a cover.

So all that's left is the storage bag of that hermit from Xiling.

Han Jieliu was extremely curious about the private collection of Xiling Sanren, who had been running a market for many years and was proficient in formations.

Upon opening the storage bag, Han Jieliu was somewhat disappointed by the scene he saw with his divine sense.

Although there are more than 300 spirit stones inside, as well as many scattered spiritual items and talismans, it is definitely a rich collection for a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, the most important cultivation techniques and array formations for the family were missing, not even a trace of the books. But that's normal, since who would carry cultivation techniques and their inheritance with them when they go out?

Han Jieliu knew that the Xiling master and his disciples were cultivating the [Flying True] path under the [Jade List] path, which meant "the five levels of jade list, displaying treasures in the classics".

It is said that this [Flying Truth] method is an extremely ancient Taoist practice, known as---

Even after the body has been dissected, the essence remains; a trace of truth still exists.

Han Jieliu had wanted to see if it had any connection with cultivating one's inner nature, but now his wish was not fulfilled.

Continuing to probe into his consciousness, Han Jieliu discovered...

The only unusual item in the bag was a red token with the words "Dongyang" engraved on it.

Han Jieliu was somewhat surprised to see the token.

He suddenly remembered a sentence that Xu Yiyi had said when he was fighting with Xiling Sanren, and said yes.

"They stole from their master and fled to Linjiang County..."

Thinking of this, Han Jieliu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and a chill ran through his chest.

"Such a connection... This token is probably the one used to enter the Eastern Yang Heaven. The thing that the Hermit of the Western Ridge stole from his master's house is this."

Xiling Sanren stole this token and wandered in Huannanling for many years. Now that he has been killed, the token has fallen into the hands of Han Jieliu.

It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; this plan targeting him had actually begun decades ago.

It seems that the Purple Mansion in Dongyang Heaven is determined to go there by itself.

"You're plotting against me, but little do you know I also have a cheat code; who knows what might happen then?"

Han Jieliu felt helpless, but he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Although Xiling Sanren's storage bag contained fewer items, he did not get what he wanted.

Fortunately, the Hermit of Xiling had many tricks up his sleeve, including the jade whisk, the white jade lock nails, and the array flags and formations at the entrance.

Not to mention that his storage bag is of very high grade and has a large capacity, almost comparable to the storage bags used for transporting goods at home. It would be easy for him to sell it for dozens of spirit stones.

In total, one person's assets were several times greater than the combined assets of Li Mingjin and Xu Yiyi, amounting to as much as seven or eight hundred spirit stones.

"Although it included the spirit stones I used to purchase the Dao-Exhausting Oath Talisman, the gains were still substantial. I'm afraid even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't have much wealth."

Farmers used earthenware bowls, emperors used gold bowls, and the Purple Mansion Immortal used a magical bowl.

Han Jieliu comforted himself with this mindset and forgot about the events in Dongyang.

With this harvest, he now has over a thousand spirit stones in his possession. He can find a place other than Donglu Market to sell them and exchange them for spirit funds, which will be enough to support his cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"However, now that Xiling Sanren and Li Mingjin are both dead, the remaining two disciples at the early stage of Qi Refining are also unable to protect such a large market industry."

"It won't be long before it's exposed, and Donglu Market will be divided up."

Although her own Han family was not as close as the Wang family, nor as powerful as the Yuan family, she had known the news in advance.

If you want to get a share of the profits, you should plan ahead and inform your family.

"Judging by the time, that Foundation Establishment cave on the lake should be open by now, but what's the situation... I wonder if my family has received the news and sent anyone to check on it."

Han Jieliu calculated the time with his fingers, and suddenly remembered that there was a letter on the stone platform, so he took it out.

The note was very thin, sealed with only simple spiritual power, indicating that its owner was in a great hurry.

Han Jieliu used a spell to extract the sealed spiritual energy, which was a sandy yellow mixed with the color of gray flames.

This is a trace of the "black sandstone aura". I have read "The Record of Outer Desert Realities and Scenic Spots" and know that this kind of spiritual energy is very rare in Linjiang County.

Only in Fengchui County, a little north of Leijun City, there is a vast desert with a burning spring at its bottom, which stirs up yellow sand that flies and blows, making it easy to collect sand, and thus some cultivators practice there.

The wisp of spiritual energy had been there for some time and was about to dissipate; it soon floated away from my hand.

Han Jieliu looked at the contents of the letter again.

"I am Hao Qiuzheng. I am informing the demon general that my ancestor is about to break through, and all the spiritual resources required have been sent to the Feng Chu. I hope you will convey to Senior Demon Serpent that you should fulfill the agreement as soon as possible, leave the mansion, and attract the sect cultivators to delay for a few days. My Hao family will be extremely grateful."

"A demon general?"

Han Jieliu had heard of the rules of demons and knew that there was a great demon cave in the east, where a great demon comparable to a true immortal or lord resided.

Its power spreads across the land, encompassing both evil and wickedness. Most demons and monsters in the world are under its control, and only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can be called demon generals.

However, the letter in his hand did not seem to be addressed to the Foundation Establishment Demon Serpent, but rather to his descendant, the owner of this abandoned cave, who entrusted him to deliver it to the young man.

"It's actually the Hao family..."

Han Jieliu had heard of the Hao family's reputation.

Their family territory is located north of Linjiang, and they are in charge of the city of Leijun. They are the most ancient family under the jurisdiction of Xiaowei Mountain. It is said that their ancestors once produced a master cultivator who had achieved the foundation of cultivation.

With several late-stage Qi Refining experts residing in the family, even the Yinlin Zhou family on the north bank of the Guanglu River cannot match its strength.

Han Jieliu read the contents of the letter and was immediately struck by a thought that he had never expected, and began to ponder the implications.

"Judging from the contents of the letter, could it be that the newly established Foundation Establishment cave on the lake is fake? Or is it the result of a conspiracy between the Hao family and that Foundation Establishment snake demon?"

"The purpose was to help the Hao family patriarch break through, so this scheme was set up to entangle Xiaowei Mountain's foundation building."
