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

Han Jinwei, who was far away, rode the wind to come.

He didn't see any small black bottle; he only saw the cloud descend instantly, condense into a ball, and disappear, not to mention the two Liu family members above.

Han Jinwei assumed that a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining was approaching, and the Lingqing Sword in his arms had already been drawn from its sheath.

The sword light and aura flickered up and down, cutting through the surface of the lake below and reflecting a light blue hue.

Han Jieliu looked at the two people in front of him and recognized their identities.

"It's the Liu siblings we met at the Kuai Zui Lou. We actually met them here... So the cloud they were riding just now must be the [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Leaving Talisman]. But why was it collected by the little black bottle?"

On the large lake behind the two, a talisman exuding a sense of pure energy floated down.

Liu Chongqiao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, but dared not take a picture, letting it fall into the lake below.

Han Jieliu's divine sense stirred, and he immediately noticed that the broad cloud of energy in the small black bottle had disappeared, replaced by three strands of [Flowing Wind and Elegant Qi]. He immediately understood.

"So the principle behind this [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Leaving Talisman] is to infuse spiritual energy into it, connecting the talisman's runes, and consuming this item in exchange for speed. No wonder the little black bottle could sense it."

This "flowing wind and elegant energy" is a common type of spiritual energy in the cultivation world, similar to "minor pure spiritual energy." It belongs to the path of pure energy and can be collected by riding the wind to places in the sky where spiritual energy is abundant.

However, because it can only be collected by cultivators at the Qi Refining level or above, it is more expensive than [Minor Pure Spiritual Energy], costing around forty spirit stones per piece.

Han Jieliu couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected joy of finding over a hundred spirit stones for free, and looked at what was in front of him.

Liu Chongqiao reacted quickly, although he didn't know why the [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Dispelling Talisman] suddenly failed, causing the two of them to fall.

But seeing that the blue-robed cultivator before him was not like an ordinary rogue cultivator, he was gently sizing up him and his younger brother without making a move. Knowing that there was still room for maneuver, he bit his lip and said softly and quickly.

"Senior, spare our lives! We are from the Liu family of Shangpiao Valley in Donghe County. We were on our way to Leijun City and were being hunted down."

"I don't know why the talisman failed and suddenly fell to this place... My Liu family has several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators guarding the area. If you are willing to escort us back to our clan, my father will definitely reward you handsomely."

Liu Chongqiao was very clever. He avoided the important issues and did not mention his purpose of going to Leijun City to buy spiritual energy. He was afraid that Han Jieliu would have the idea of ​​killing him to steal the treasure.

Although his words were pleading, he laid out the family's power and interests, so that Han Jieliu could think it over himself.

Having said that, she put the talisman that was maintaining her figure in her mouth, and then bowed deeply to Han Jieliu.

"He's only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, if it weren't for..."

Seeing his sister's attitude, the young man Liu Chongqi, though displeased, dared not utter a word and quickly bowed his head in greeting, obscuring his face.

Han Jinwei remained calm as he approached with his sword, having also clearly heard Liu Chongqiao's words.

He originally thought it was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who had suddenly arrived, but he did not expect it to be two young men and women in the late stage of Nascent Soul, as they chanted.

"The Liu family of Donghe County..."

As he approached, the sword energy intensified, brushing past his face, and even Han Jieliu could feel a slight pain, like being cut by reeds.

Liu Chongqiao's kneeling body trembled slightly. Although she did not raise her head, she felt a blue goose pecking at her eyelids, which surprised her.

"It's actually at the Sword Qi realm."

Qi-refining cultivators are common, but sword-qi cultivators are rare.

Although the Liu family has several members at the late stage of Qi Refining, only one person in the entire family has reached the Sword Qi realm, which shows how difficult this path is.

"These two are scions of a prominent family from Donghe County, on their way to Leijun City to purchase spiritual energy..."

Han Jieliu didn't know if Han Jinwei had heard what he had just said, so he combined it with the telepathic message he had overheard in the restaurant and left.

Han Jinwei glanced at Han Jieliu, remained silent for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind before speaking to the Liu siblings.

"You all raise your heads and tell us about your experience of being hunted down."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chongqiao's expression remained respectful and fearful, but his heart gradually calmed down.

The other blue-robed cultivator seemed to prioritize the sword cultivator's idea; since he said such a thing, he must have agreed.

Liu Chongqiao breathed a sigh of relief and just raised his head.

Suddenly, the world before them turned upside down, with the lake above and the sky below.

A thin, long line of blood flashed across her forehead and between her eyes.

Her beautiful face was fragmented into several parts, her eyes began to separate, the distance between them widening, and even the scenery she saw changed.

Then came a sharp pain, as if the blue goose was no longer satisfied with pecking at her eyelids, but had used its beak to pry open her face and taste the juices inside.

"Why? Didn't he agree? Why kill me? Why did he kill me...?"

Liu Chongqiao's face still showed disbelief, and resentment welled up in her heart. Her last gaze fell on Han Jinwei's calm face, and then fell into the lake water.

Seeing the patriarch make a move, Han Jieliu did not hesitate at all, and a "Vast Water Condensing Light" was already released from his hand.

The water flowed through his flesh, and Liu Chongqi, standing to the side, was in an even worse state, with tears welling in his eyes, clutching the bloody hole in his throat, from which red foam continued to spurt from his mouth.

Looking at his sisters falling into the water, he could no longer contain his fear and stammered, sobbing.

"Father······"

Han Jieliu deliberately reduced his strength, fearing that Liu Chongqi would also be turned into a pile of minced meat. Looking at him, his eyes dimmed and he fell into the water.

Two slender, clear streams of energy emanated from the two individuals, heading eastward—presumably some kind of tracking method employed by the Liu family.

Before Han Jinwei could make a move, the Lingqing sword in his hand had already taken the initiative to shatter the two streams of energy.

But he stopped them, letting the two streams of pure energy drift away.

Then, Han Jieliu took out two storage bags from the water, as well as the empty [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Dispelling Talisman].

He probed inside with his divine sense and found only some embryonic spiritual resources, a dozen or so spirit stones, and a wisp of spiritual energy, which was the same [Black Burning Gravel Qi] he had seen before.

Han Jieliu put away the [Wide Sleeve Cloud-Piercing Talisman] and handed the two storage bags to Han Jinwei.

Han Jinwei glanced at it and smiled slightly.

"In just two days of traveling to and from the lake, what I gained was equivalent to several years' income for my family. Sometimes I really want to become a cultivator who has undergone a tribulation."

He put away the storage bag, and seeing that Han Jieliu remained silent, he teased him again.

"You don't even ask me why I killed these two people."

"But because of the Zhou family..."

Han Jieliu said softly, and Han Jinwei nodded.

"That's right... If these two direct descendants of the Liu family die here, the Liu family of Shangpiao Valley will definitely not let it go. It just so happens that the Zhou family is hunting down rogue cultivators on the lake. With this happening, the Zhou family has no room for explanation."

"The Liu family is sending a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to the lake to demand an explanation. They will inevitably pass through my Huannan area... Such an aura will surely arouse suspicion in the Yuan family."

"The Yuan family only produces one late-stage Qi Refining expert every few years, so naturally they wouldn't dare to take any risks. They'll probably delay Yuan Yingtuan's breakthrough, giving my family more time to catch their breath."

Han Jinwei sheathed his sword, glanced at Han Jieliu again, and said with a smile.

"But that's just the surface reason; the real reason is still for you, Liu'er."

Han Jieliu looked up upon hearing this and immediately understood his meaning. A slight feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart, and he bowed slightly in greeting.

"Thank you, Master."

Having managed the household for many years, how could Han Jinwei not see something? The sudden disappearance of the clouds was not Han Jinwei's doing, so it was most likely because of Han Jieliu.

Han Jinwei had no interest in finding out the reason or whether he had any secrets.

Instead, they chose the simplest method: killing.

In any case, once a person dies, nothing can be revealed, and no hidden dangers will arise.

Han Jieliu was unsure whether the black bottle had been discovered. He had originally considered killing the two people in front of him, but that would be too deliberate and would easily arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Han Jinwei had taken the initiative to do so, he felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh, reminding himself of a lesson.

"So this is what family is like. It seems I really did choose the right path... But I should learn from this experience and be more careful in the future. I can't let this little black bottle activate carelessly, as it increases the risk of being exposed."
