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

Xiaowei Mountain, on the summit of Qiwei Peak.

This peak is the highest, towering significantly higher than the other peaks in the sect, almost reaching into the clouds.

Above, pure air floated and mist swirled, making this place for cultivating the Dao of Pure Qi quite different from other places.

This is the main peak of Xiaowei Mountain. Although it is not the ancestral home of Donghe County, it is still a sect with a history of thousands of years. The styles of the buildings are the same, which has a strong ancient style of immortals.

【Qing Qi】is the foundation of 【Xing Qi】. Not to mention 【Xing Qi】, even 【Tai Yin】, when traced back, may not be as ancient as it.

The term "qi" in the Dao of Nourishing Life and Cultivating Nature comes from this, and it can be related to almost all Daoist traditions today, especially the [Feizhen] Dao.

This Daoist image represents pure energy, wind and clouds, and a love of purity and tranquility. Ancient cultivators described it with the Daoist saying, "With one judgment, all beings are separated, and none return to it."

Before a hall atop the peak, several white cranes slowly came to a stop. Although they had not yet developed intelligence, they had acquired a certain degree of spirituality.

At this moment, they all looked up at the hall, their beaks wide open, but they made no sound, as if they had seen something that made it hard for them to look away.

The plaque above the Peak Hall bears three large characters, seemingly written by the Qingwei Immortal himself, and is called "Yuqing Palace".

This place was built according to ancient methods, following the ancestral site of Donghe County. Its appearance and shape are exactly the same, only the materials used are a bit cheaper.

All that could be seen was a courtyard within a room, a deep palace, a vast and expansive corridor, and hundreds of beams.

I wonder how many cultivators came here to pay homage in ancient times, that such a large scale was needed, even to accommodate the appearance of demons.

For Xiaoweishan today, it is too big and seems somewhat deserted.

The hall was very quiet, with only two figures inside.

At this moment, Chang Minghu, with his flowing sleeves and white hair and beard, sat on the throne, holding a small plate with cloud patterns in his hand, his mind at peace.

This item is a magical artifact left by the patriarch, called the "Guang Si Yun Xia Yu Pan". It can guide the mind and connect with external Qi, and is a magical artifact for the spiritual path.

He was taught that even when physically in the palace, he could emulate a cultivator from the Purple Mansion, spiritually roaming the county and inspecting it.

Below the hall, on the long steps shrouded in white smoke, a disciple stood gently. He looked young and had reached the peak of Qi Refining cultivation.

He was dressed in a white robe, seemingly a descendant of the Qi Wei Peak lineage. He had a fair complexion and a beard, and appeared to be of a clear and upright character, possessing great integrity.

Looking at his master above, he did not disturb him, but occasionally glanced outside the hall, seemingly waiting for something.

Until he saw those few white cranes, the most carefree and troublesome on the peaks, flapping their wings and secretly peeking into the hall.

Pei Ruguan saw a lecherous expression on Bai He's face for the first time, and he was also surprised and suspicious.

"Could these white cranes be reincarnations of some scoundrels from the mortal realm? How can they be so lucky to run into them everywhere?"

"Just two days ago, Xiu Guangfeng's junior sister complained to me, saying that she was harassed by these white cranes on her way up the mountain. Since she couldn't produce any spiritual fruit, they chased her and pecked at her all the way."

"I think we can't keep it on the main peak anymore, lest it remembers it and, when it grows up, says something we shouldn't hear."

Pei Ruguan gently made a hand seal and used his magic to close the palace door, which, as expected, drew several angry shouts.

Although Chang Minghu knew that someone had come to the palace, he still carried the plate and looked around. Only when he heard such a commotion did he gently stop the plate. He found the scene in front of him quite amusing.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

Pei Ruguan bowed respectfully, but Chang Ming waved his hand and said...

"As you see, now that the affairs of the sect have been entrusted to you, it is up to you to decide where to move these white cranes."

"In the past, our ancestor, Master Qingwei, liked to raise cranes. According to our ancestors, when he was in Donghe County, Qiwei Peak was home to a flock of white cranes, their feathers spreading like clouds."

"The patriarch treated him as a disciple, and sometimes he would preach to the cranes and enlighten their spirits. Later, a white crane actually gained cultivation and transformed into a human, becoming the patriarch's seventh disciple, with the Taoist name 'Yunmiaozi'."

"Later, when the real man passed away, the rain continued to fall. The cranes, being the most loyal of all, vomited and cried until most of them died. Many white cranes were seen vomiting up bits of dirt, swallowing them back, and then vomiting again on the ground. This happened several times, and the mountain was covered in dirty blood. It would be difficult for them not to die."

"Then, seeing the rain and mist reaching the sky, he felt sorrow again. The flock of cranes was unwilling to fly with him, so they broke off most of their own wings, and many more were lost."

"Donghe County was to be moved to Tingzi Palace. When the palace was being relocated, some left, some stayed behind, and only a few shameless white cranes came along with it."

Now, many generations later, the descendants resemble their ancestors. The clan, seeing the crane, longed to see it again, so they kept it as a memento, but didn't care for it, and this has fostered this particular character in them.

Chang Ming shook his head, then suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, you should put these white cranes on Zhengqing Peak and let Xue Dejiu have some trouble."

Pei Ru nodded, indicating that he would agree, and took out a small letter to present.

"I have come here because of a matter at Guanglu Lake. This is a letter from two disciples of the Han family of Dongquan, requesting assistance."

"The letter said that Elder Guo was trapped and fighting with someone. The rogue cultivators on the lake surrounded and killed the disciples of the various peaks. The situation was very dangerous. I came here as soon as I received the news."

Chang Minghu already knew about this matter, and he had just been holding the [Guang Si Yun Xia Yu Pan] to investigate it, so he slowly replied.

"I already knew about this matter and sent Xue Yinbai to help. Now everything is fine."

"Although Guo Linya came from the foot of my peak, he is used to being away from home and probably doesn't want to come back. So I arranged for him to guard the lake to prevent any trouble."

Pei Ruguan felt relieved, but hesitated before asking.

"Master, has something happened on Guanglu Lake...?"

Upon hearing Pei Ruguan's question, Chang Minghu's beard and hair fluttered gently, causing the clear, ethereal air to float and swirl within the hall without any wind.

As he paused in his thoughts, the strange phenomena in the hall also ceased, and a faint expression appeared on his face as he spoke softly.

"Well, you don't need to worry about what happened on Guanglu Lake. The fall of Dongyang Tianyao is imminent. It was something that several counties had discussed long ago in order to change the spiritual atmosphere and accelerate its fall."

"The Guanglu Lake has been frozen for several years, affecting the surrounding counties. It was because that demonic serpent used a Foundation Establishment treasure, the [Plain Snow Essence], which is a one-time use item."

"It can turn water into ice and snow into snow, slowly unfolding. At first, it is just a few drops, but then the cold intensifies and becomes more severe. It can damage clothes and hats, and even subtly penetrate the skin and bones, changing one's mind. It is very insidious."

"The emergence of the false mansion on the lake was also due to the snake demon leading Guo Linya out, so that Hao Yangzhao of the Hao family in Beigao could achieve the Foundation Establishment stage."

Pei Ruguan's expression changed upon hearing this news. He quickly realized what was happening and asked.

"Master, that ancestor of the Hao family has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How should our sect deal with this...?"

Chang Minghu glanced at the palace gate and replied.

"This person's attainment of Dao is also related to the Dongyang Heaven matter. The intention is to refine and utilize it. Furthermore, we should cede the Beigao, Leijun, and Huannan areas to him, and send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to congratulate him. Do not reveal any flaws, and just let him see through anything."
