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

In Hubei, the perch of Guanglu are located in a cold, ethereal cave.

De Linzi and Guo Linya were still fighting, causing the outer array to shake continuously, while the spacious stone chamber was filled with rosy light and frosty mist.

On the mountain of Wutu, scaled snakes grew ice. Both of them offered up their immortal foundations, causing the surrounding environment to change drastically.

Guo Linya's figure initially appeared as dusky yellow, but as the towering peaks behind him pierced the sky, the sunlight surged and the rosy clouds spread out.

A rainbow of light emerged from the treacherous mountains behind him, as if it were naturally present within them; there were twelve rays in total, their brilliance illuminating the cold cave.

The halo of light shone down, and a crimson current flowed around Guo Linya, dyeing him a bright and dazzling color, as if he were rising on the clouds.

In the distance, Delinzi maintained its snake body, its white scales rippling gently like waves.

It did not confront Guo Linya directly, but instead took out a magic bead with snowflakes falling on it to protect its body and watch his every move.

It occasionally exhaled bursts of white frost to resist, and moved left and right on the mist, dodging the rosy light and the monument-shaped magical artifact.

Both of them were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, not yet at the level of casting spells at will. Now that their immortal foundations had been activated, they could not maintain this state for long.

The Immortal Foundation of the Scaled Seed seemed to be integrated into his being, most notably on a white scale on his neck.

Therefore, it did not consume much of its magic power. Its expression was natural, and its vertical pupils revealed a faint cold light as it searched for Guo Linya's weakness.

"De Linzi... You truly live up to your reputation as a notorious lackey of the lake, working exclusively for the master, and you've acquired quite a few treasures."

"This treasure is probably the magic weapon of Fairy Hengyi of Suyu Sect back then - the [Six Snows Covering the Palm Pearl]. It was taken by a monk from the North who cultivated [Auspicious Qi] and became a symbol of auspicious snow celebrating the year. The item ended up in your hands."

"You possess the bloodline of a great demon, yet you willingly act in this way, serving as a lackey of others, just like those good-for-nothings under the monks. Aren't you afraid that the great demon cave will send people to capture you and punish you?"

After such a long battle, the large snake head of Delinzi, which had been somewhat angry, has now returned to calm.

He didn't show any expression upon hearing this, but simply uttered a few words without speaking.

After Guo Linya finished speaking, he saw that the snake demon was completely ignored.

Despite his many methods, he was still unable to subdue the snake demon before him. His expression turned cold, and he unleashed his magic again, hoping to end the battle quickly.

"The art of observing the clouds and capturing the sky is hereby decreed."

Wushan swayed slightly, and several colorful lights, forming a hook shape, transformed into flying silk and swept towards them.

The rosy light was pure and disliked filth, but it was blocked by the demonic energy exhaled by the scaled creature and could not get close.

After blocking the spell, the long, scaly snake body reformed into a human form, its clothes shimmering white and blue.

It looked ahead, finally spoke, and sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, we have been here for quite some time, and since we cannot determine a winner, why don't we sit down, rest, have a drink, and chat for a while? In just a few days, this formation will naturally be broken."

"I'll drink your mother's wine..."

Guo Linya seemed to have been humiliated, and the magical light in his hand intensified. The mountain of Wutu (戊土) surged and expanded, almost filling the cave. The stone tablet in his hand attacked again with an unavoidable momentum.

De Linzi felt that the person in front of him was difficult to get along with, and seemed to harbor some special hatred towards a demon like himself.

It was preparing to use magic to catch it when it suddenly looked south, its heart tightened, and all the scales on its body stood up, as if it had a premonition of something.

"Someone has arrived at Xiaowei Mountain, one person, and they arrived quickly."

The scaled creature belongs to the snake family and has extraordinary bloodline. It is a descendant of a dragon and can distinguish objects by sound.

In addition, the Dao Foundation [Ying Zhe Lin] is inspired by the image of a large snake hibernating in the cold, shedding its scales, which signifies the ability to sense danger and seize opportunities.

Now that an unfamiliar aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is approaching, it is naturally noticed immediately.

Then, the scales were discovered, and it was placed on a nearby lake as a warning. The two late-stage Qi-refining snake demons suddenly lost contact with it.

The ability to kill two snake demons that were far apart at once was something that Linzi pondered for a while, and then discovered that there was no corresponding Foundation Establishment cultivator in Xiaowei Mountain.

"A spiritual aura from the Water and Wood Sect is approaching. If it's not Xue Dejiu, then it's the new ancestor of the Xue family who recently established his foundation... It's said that he cultivates the sword path. It's best not to provoke him."

Judging by the time, the one from the Hao family of Beigao should be close to breaking through, or at the very least, he should have already opened the formation and secured Leijun City.

His agreement with Guo Linya's family was merely a delaying tactic; there was no need to take such a huge risk and fight to the death.

De Linzi then shook the magic pearl, and immediately snowflakes flew, obscuring the rosy light.

The snow fell silently, and its form vanished in an instant. Using the same method it had employed in the abandoned demon mansion, it transformed into frost mist and escaped from the formation.

Guo Linya swung the giant stele across the ground, striking De Linzi, but he showed no sign of triumph.

But as the body formed of frost and ice shattered into fragments, Delinzi's figure had already disappeared.

Guo Linya's expression was not good, but he did not make any further moves. He simply withdrew his immortal foundation and took out a pill from his sleeve.

The pill had a faint yellow aura surrounding it, indicating that it was of extraordinary quality. He didn't feel bad about it and swallowed it in one gulp.

"This Qi-Boosting Pill is quite good, but it's a bit pricey; you have to buy it from Fengchui County..."

"Once I digest this third one and stabilize my cultivation, I might still have a chance to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime."

Guo Linya turned his head and also sensed a Foundation Establishment aura approaching. It must be someone from the sect who had scared away this Scaled Child.

A sword aura flew in, accompanied by falling peach blossoms, silent yet sharp, striking the outer array of the cave and creating a visible ripple.

As the gap opened, a small, silver wedge appeared and pierced straight into the formation.

Qi emerged from above, and the magic wedge gathered its power, instantly shattering the chilling array and revealing the cave.

Guo Linya leaped out, and seeing such a display, how could he not guess the person's identity?

"Impressive swordsmanship. It turns out to be this junior brother who has arrived, and he even brought treasures from the sect."

This junior brother Xue, who recently broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, is now known to everyone in Xiaowei Mountain and is hailed as the most talented cultivator in Linjiang County.

He established his foundation at over forty years old, cultivating his inner energy and nourishing his nature, thus achieving the ancient Dao foundation [Zhuozhichun], and even attaining the sword Dao of the Sword Origin Realm.

Even shortly after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he injured Peak Master He, one of the seven peaks of the sect, avenging his family's death and causing He to be recuperating to this day. He was given the nicknames "Peach Blossom Sword Immortal" and "Number One Sword Cultivator of Linjiang" by the sect's disciples.

"Junior brother Xue, I've heard of his name for a long time..."

Although Guo Linya had heard of Xue Yinbai's deeds, this was the first time he had met him, as he had been guarding the city for the Zongzhong clan.

So he rode the wind closer and smiled slightly.

Today, the Xiaoweishan sect is divided into three major factions: the main peak lineage, the three family lineages, and the three peaks established later.

He joined the sect during his Qi Refining period, received instruction from the main peak, and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was considered a member of the main peak's lineage, and his relationship with the Xue family's Zhengqing Peak was also quite good.

Xue Yinbai also picked up the array flags outside the cave, put away the silver wedge, and cupped his hands towards Guo Linya.

"Senior Brother Guo has been guarding the sect in other places for a long time, and I have long known of his reputation..."

"There is something I must tell you now, Senior Brother. That cultivator from the Hao family of Beigao successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage while you were trapped."
