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

"So it was a chase..."

Seeing several dark figures approaching in the distance, Han Jieliu, thinking it was better to avoid trouble, initially wanted to avoid them.

He knew that the methods of cultivators in the cultivation world were incredibly diverse, with hundreds listed in the "Records of Loose Cultivators".

One of the methods was to disguise themselves as both the pursuers and the pursuers, luring righteous cultivators into a trap—a very cunning tactic.

But Han Jieliu heard the thin male cultivator who was running away from the two in front of him shout to him.

"I am from the Han family of Dongquan Peak in Xiaowei Mountain. We are currently being hunted down. If you save us, our Han family will surely repay you."

Upon hearing this, Han Jieliu's mind stirred.

"The Han family of Dongquan?"

If these two were ordinary people, I probably wouldn't care. But the Han family of Dongquan... has some connection with my family, so I might be able to lend a hand.

Han Jieliu probed the two people and the pursuers behind them with his divine sense. They were all at the early stage of Qi Refining, with the highest being no more than the third level of Qi Refining.

The wind they were riding was also mixed and chaotic, mostly mixed gases, suggesting they were a group of independent cultivators.

Reassured, he prepared to reveal his cultivation level.

After the incident at the Demon Palace, Han Jieliu discovered that his current cultivation level exhibited a strange "early and mid-stage dichotomy".

On one hand, his cultivation of Qi Nourishment had already absorbed three types of Qi, and he had indeed broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The term "refining qi" originates from ancient methods, which involve absorbing and cultivating one's own intentions. As long as it aligns with one's path, one will not refuse it.

The ancient way of cultivation is: "Nourish your nature in the womb to begin, and preserve your essence by eating when hungry." This is the meaning of the saying.

In the context of the new law, "refining qi" has a different meaning, referring to nurturing and cultivating, and is said to be based on the origin, with a more careful selection of the initial qi.

The book "The Method of Immersing One's Nature with All Waters" that I obtained from the sect's Dharma Pavilion seems to have a very important origin, requiring all spiritual waters in the world to immerse the body and cultivate one's nature.

Therefore, by embracing all waters, regardless of whether they are new or old, one can continue cultivating on top of the second level of Qi Refining in the original technique, "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue".

However, perhaps because of the small black bottle, others cannot discern his cultivation level in the Dao of Nourishing Nature from the outside.

The facts have proven that even the snake demon who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage could not discern his true level of cultivation face-to-face.

Unless one actively reveals it, what others see is still the initial stage of one's cultivation in the "Yu Jing San Chuan Jue".

This puzzled Han Jieliu, who had two bold guesses in his mind.

Or perhaps it's because the energy absorbed from the small black bottle is different, causing some kind of change in myself.

Either this little black bottle is helping me conceal something, preventing someone from discovering that I've switched to the Dao of Cultivating Qi and Nourishing Nature...

Thinking about this, Han Jieliu felt a chill run down his spine.

"That one in Dongyang Heaven went so far as to bestow upon me a treasure like the Heavenly Spirit Dew, so that I could continue cultivating the 'Yu Jing San Chuan Jue', but the little black bottle is being concealed, seemingly to prevent that one from discovering it..."

Han Jieliu had his doubts about the possibility that the black bottle might possess spiritual power, and had even secretly tested it.

After all, even the Heavenly Spirit Dew at the Purple Mansion level can have its own personality.

This little black bottle must be of a much higher level, perhaps even more powerful than a True Lord.

Han Jieliu glanced at the small black bottle in his storage bag, which was still lying there quietly, and muttered to himself.

"Even the spirits of the Purple Mansion are unwilling to stay in this place, but this little black bottle is willing."

Although I don't know if this guess is right, if it is true... compared to the mysteriously unknown grotto-heaven, I am more willing to believe this little black bottle.

"Little black bottle, little black bottle, I can trust you."

Han Jieliu didn't expect any reaction from the black bottle.

When he raised his head again, his mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation was already on display, causing his pursuers behind him to stop in their tracks.

"Please rest assured, both of you. I am from the Han family of Jianzhu on Huannan Ridge. I have a past relationship with the nobles and once studied magic at Xiaowei Mountain. Out of both affection and past ties, I will naturally protect you both. There is no need to worry."

Hearing Han Jieliu's telepathic message, Han Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped behind him with Han Qiyun.

The cultivators who came to pursue them were all independent cultivators, without any organization or acquaintance with each other.

Seeing that a mid-stage Qi Refining expert had spoken up, they didn't even utter any harsh words. They exchanged a glance, then rode their flowing light and wind to disperse.

After all, there are quite a few cultivators like this on Guanglu Lake, so there's no need to keep a close eye on these two.

Han Jieliu noticed that there seemed to be a divine sense watching this place from afar, which paused for a moment and then dispersed after seeing him make a move.

After taking a short breath, Han Qiyuan bowed to Han Jieliu.

"Thank you, senior. We were being hunted down, our spirit boat was damaged, our family was scattered, and our safety was in grave danger. We had no choice but to come here. We have caused you trouble."

Han Qiyun, standing behind him, also bowed and secretly observed Han Jieliu's expression.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Han Qiyuan was quite frank, stating directly that he approached him seeking protection, and his eyes showed a respectful expression.

Han Jieliu smiled slightly, putting on a very composed demeanor, appearing calm and collected, but he couldn't help asking a question.

"I hadn't even sensed your presence yet, but you discovered me first. As expected of the inheritance of the Seven Peaks of the sect, you certainly have some methods."

Seeing this, Han Qiyuan gave an awkward smile.

"To be honest, senior, there is a magic technique on my peak that comes from the cultivation method. It can communicate with cold qi and sense the aura of cultivators who are covered by wind and frost."

"This is a perfect spot to put my skills to use, so when I noticed a senior here while I was traveling, I decided to try my luck..."

Upon hearing this, Han Jieliu shook his head.

"It's nothing, you don't need to be so formal. We share the same surname, and decades ago we almost became sworn brothers."

"It's just that your Dongquan Peak suffered a calamity later, and we were also implicated, so our entire clan moved away, which is why we haven't been in touch for a long time. Now that we've met again, we should try to get closer to each other."

As a direct descendant of the family, Han Qiyuan had naturally read the family history and knew about this matter.

The clan history was only mentioned briefly, as if the clan was unwilling to talk about this part. It was only said that "the ancestor passed away, the clan lost its pillar, and there were internal pressures from various factions. The clan moved to a foreign territory, and the situation was very difficult."

Han Qiyuan originally thought that his own family was in trouble and that these external immortal clans were cutting ties with him, but he did not expect that he was implicated.

He was always gentle and kind, and upon hearing this, he felt a pang of guilt and quickly said...

"Definitely, definitely."

Although the Han family of Dongquan is in decline, they are still a force to be reckoned with, a peak in Xiaowei Mountain with a rich and profound history.

Han Jieliu wanted to get closer to Han Qiyuan and also wanted to find a new way for his disciples to enter the sect. So he exchanged telepathic addresses with Han Qiyuan and reminded him of something.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, along with this group of rogue cultivators, there was also a divine sense... It seems to have a cultivation level of at least the mid-stage. It must have been watching you for a long time. Be careful on your way back to the sect."

Han Qiyuan immediately thought of the Sharp Gold Peak, and his heart tightened.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. The lake is not safe, please be careful."

Having said that, he dared not linger any longer and quickly left with Han Qiyun.
