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

"So this ancient method of cultivation involves absorbing various spiritual energies of heaven and earth that are suitable for one's own path, nurturing a unique nature within the body..."

Han Jieliu put down the jade slip in his hand, revealing a look of understanding.

The gates of Xiaowei Mountain were closed for a month, and I stayed there for a month to cultivate in seclusion.

On ordinary days, he was either reading these obscure jade slips or comprehending the two techniques he had exchanged. The only time he was woken up was when a disciple in the early stage of Qi Refining came to ask if he could rent the cave to him.

"The gate has been sealed for so long... that elder should have broken through by now."

Han Jieliu stretched and walked out of the cave. Looking up, he saw that the entire stone wall had been carved with more than a dozen holes, densely packed together.

The gates of Xiaowei Mountain were sealed for a month, which naturally made it difficult for many disciples who wanted to go out. Many people chose to stay on this stone wall for a while, just like me, so much so that this huge stone wall was almost hollowed out.

"No wonder that person came to discuss the rental with me; there were no seats available."

Han Jieliu shook his head and put away the Water-Treading Defense Formation.

A few wisps of water vapor condensed in his sleeve, turning into a thin stream of water light that shot towards the cave he had created.

The water droplets, though seemingly small, were surprisingly powerful, pulverizing the entire interior of the cave.

"The power of this Water Condensation Light is quite impressive."

Han Jieliu nodded and gave a thumbs-up.

The spell I just cast was naturally the one I obtained from the Library Pavilion—"Condensing Light in Vast Waters".

The original owner had also practiced water-based magic and was very knowledgeable about this type of magic, so she learned and mastered it very quickly.

"The efficiency of water vapor utilization is too low, and the skill level is not good enough. I still need to practice more."

Han Jieliu gave a brief analysis of the moves they had just used.

This "Condensed Light of Vast Water" is designed to draw out water vapor, and its power is stronger in places with abundant water resources, such as large rivers, lakes, and marshes.

Although Xiaoweishan is shrouded in mist and its waters are active, the power of the "Hanshui Ningguang" (瀚水凝光) lies in the word "Han" (瀚), meaning that only about 50% or 60% of its full potential can be realized.

After confirming that there was no trace of him in the cave, Han Jieliu calmly stood in mid-air, using his lightness technique.

It's not that I'm unwilling to leave my cave to others, it's just that the methods in the cultivation world are unpredictable, and even a wisp of residual aura could be found.

He still remembered Xue Shimei's advice at the time, so it was best to be cautious.

A gentle, moist breeze caressed his body as Han Jieliu lowered his head and surveyed the surroundings.

The mountain gate was not much different from when I went into seclusion, except that the vegetation was more lush. Everywhere you looked in the sect was light green, mixed with a few peach blossoms, and a faint fragrance.

Han Jieliu observed silently.

"The water and trees are bright and clear, interacting with each other in a pure and refreshing way. In the heavens, it signifies the subtle and gentle flow of moisture, which will bring about the seasonal rains. On earth, it symbolizes the growth and flourishing of all trees, which benefit from their growth and multiplication, thus giving rise to a multitude of life."

"It seems that the elder is definitely practicing the Wood Virtue lineage. Judging from the increasingly powerful momentum, it must be about to begin."

Han Jieliu cultivated the He Shui Dao lineage, which was closely related to the Mu De lineage. He was able to sense the spiritual atmosphere of the world and discern it.

The relationship between Shui and Mu was mutually beneficial, which is why he left seclusion early, wanting to witness the scene of his breakthrough.

"Scenes of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage are quite rare. No cultivator has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage in nearly thirty years. Such a commotion must be due to some kind of celestial phenomenon..."

Han Jieliu looked towards the south, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was most concentrated, and muttered to himself.

It is said that once the foundation is established, one's lifespan will approach three hundred years.

The current patriarchs of the sect all attained enlightenment a long time ago and rarely appear in the sect. The original owner of this body had not seen them even once in fourteen years, let alone witnessed their breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The last recorded advancement to Foundation Establishment in the entire Linjiang Prefecture was more than a decade ago.

Although his spiritual aperture is now shattered, he still aspires to become an immortal.

Whether the elder succeeds or not, we must come and see the process of him breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and condensing supernatural powers.

Han Jieliu looked around at the terrain, trying to find a suitable place, but found that the entrance to Weishan Mountain was the clearest spot.

So he drew his sword again and headed towards the mountain gate.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, they found that many cultivators had already arrived, all coming to witness the ceremony with the same idea as Han Jieliu.

Han Jieliu moved his divine sense and found Senior Brother Zhou. He stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting. Zhou Xinquan put down the list he was counting and smiled.

"Junior brother must have noticed it too, and came to observe the ceremony."

"Exactly."

Han Jieliu responded.

"You came at just the right time. This is a rare opportunity in the sect, and Junior Brother certainly can't miss it. Fortunately, it happened before you left the sect."

Zhou Xinquan, with his mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, perceived more than I did, and said softly.

"The Jianmu tree is growing and flourishing, which is in accordance with the timing of Heaven. There are many elders in the sect who are in the late stage of Qi Refining and have also cultivated the virtue of wood. It is really hard to know which one has broken through."

The two stopped discussing and sat down. Disciples began to fly over from below.

The purple-robed elder who had been sitting upright with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes.

He seemed to notice something, looked south, then took out a small, intricately patterned bell and shook it. The sound was so powerful that it shook one's very soul, and the clear, resonant voice carried with authority throughout the entire Ruwei Mountain.

"Disciples, be quiet. Remember not to use gold at this time, and do not cause any injury. Face south to pay homage."

As soon as the purple-robed elder finished speaking, Han Jieliu noticed that rain was falling sporadically from the sky, and there was a faint rumble of thunder.

When I arrived at the mountain gate intending to leave the sect, it was the transition between spring and winter. Now, a month has passed, and it is the time of the Awakening of Insects.

The clouds and fog in the sky were churning, with thunder and lightning flashing within, like dragons and snakes about to move.

The rain seemed to have a soothing effect, feeling incredibly gentle on the skin and bringing a sense of comfort.

Han Jieliu felt a sense of familiarity with the rain and did not try to stop it, letting the raindrops fall on him.

But as soon as the rain touched his hands, Han Jieliu felt a familiar yet strange emotion.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he abruptly channeled his spiritual energy, dispelling all the rainwater, his face filled with horror.

"The rain a month ago..."

It's exactly the same as the scene at this moment.

If it weren't for so many people present, Han Jieliu, who was always cautious and kept his mind alert at all times, would have fallen victim to the attack again.

"Is this the elder's ability? The power to subtly change people's thoughts with the help of rain. How terrifying..."

Han Jieliu was shaken.

When I was on Caiwu Peak, I was powerless to resist, but now I can hardly detect it from a distance, which means that the range of this supernatural power is limited and its effect weakens the farther away it is.

However, even the closest peak to Zongzhong is several thousand meters away.

"The power of Foundation Establishment cultivators is terrifying..."

Han Jieliu gained a deeper understanding of Foundation Establishment cultivators. When he looked up again, he found that the rain had stopped sometime earlier.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the vibrant spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth like a tide, heading south.

Below, in the mountains, countless peach trees grow taller and taller at a visible speed, overshadowing other branches.

The mountains were covered with new buds, and as far as the eye could see, only pale pink peach blossoms remained. Under Han Jieliu's feet, the spring green mountains suddenly turned into peach mountains, with countless pink peach blossoms flying in the air.

"It's done. It's actually that person..."

On Mount Ruwei, the purple-robed elder was the first to react, looking south with some disbelief.

At this moment, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth finally calmed down, and a figure slowly floated up from the south, accompanied by an astonishing aura.

The elder in white robes rose into the air, his expression gentle and indifferent, and spoke in a voice that, though not loud, could resonate throughout the entire sect.

"Zheng Qingfeng Xue Yinbai has today achieved the [Yi Wood] supernatural power---[Washing Branches in Spring], and will proclaim this throughout the sect to encourage future practitioners."
