On Mengtan Mountain, suddenly, clouds and water, like a curtain of rain that had left the sky, flew through the forest and stopped in front of a low valley.

The valley was small, but very eerie, winding its way down into the underground.

Han Liwan felt a chilling aura gradually appear and surround her body, but she felt no discomfort. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity that suited her constitution and cultivation method.

"After entering the underground cave," Han Jieliu explained.

"I have no residence in Jingyu Hall, only the two of us. If you need to find me, you can come here."

"This place is divided into an inner and outer area. Although the cold winds are constant and wear down your muscles and bones, your physique is special. The outer area is not a problem for you; in fact, it is beneficial for your cultivation. Just don't go into the Yin Spring below."

Han Liwan nodded respectfully and saw Han Jieliu take out a talisman with patterns running from top to bottom, which was very mysterious.

Although she couldn't see anything clearly, she could tell that it must be a Dao oath talisman.

"Set up this talisman."

After the incident with the abandoned demon palace, Han Jieliu had become more cautious. He carefully considered the matter for many days before making his oath, leaving no loopholes for anyone to exploit.

Even so, he was still not at ease, after all, this concerned the little black bottle. He used magic to blind Han Liwan's vision, which triggered the little black bottle.

Han Liwan accepted the oath without hesitation, without even reading it.

As that mysterious yet strangely familiar life force appeared and was absorbed into the small black bottle, the Dao-Exhausting Life-Entrusting Oath Talisman was thus established.

[Body Dyed with Yin] This white talisman received another bit of nourishment, becoming much more solid, and it was already faintly tinged with a blue color.

"If I absorb two more, I'll probably be able to advance to the next level. I just don't know if the Qi I've received can still absorb life force to improve."

Through his observations over the past few days, Han Jieliu has gained a deeper understanding of what's inside the little black bottle.

The method of combining five spiritual energies into a single life-sustaining talisman can only be used once every certain period of time, roughly every three years. And each time, only one talisman can be stored in the bottle.

However, this does not affect the function of the small black bottle in storing other items.

The small black bottle remained still, so Han Jieliu gently activated it, drawing out the talismanic energy and pointing it towards Han Li.

"【Body tainted with Yin】, White Register, can cause the recipient to become entangled in Yin and evil, and to be close to the Yin of caves and waters. However, it also indicates withering and is the lowest level of Yin. It will cause the recipient to have Yin evil in their body, making it difficult to regulate their fortune, and making them prone to disasters that will affect their relatives."

Han Jieliu read the introduction to the talisman again.

With a gentle shake of the small black bottle, the [Body Stained with Yin] wisp floated out, transforming into a wisp of grayish-yin energy that entered her body.

Life and death are silent and mysterious, and change can occur even in stillness.

His initial worries were unnecessary. The process of receiving the talisman was not loud, and the only noticeable change was in Han Liwan's cultivation level.

Her aura broke through the long-standing mid-stage of fetal breathing and continued to rise.

They only stopped when they were close to the final stage, just one step away from breaking through.

"The ordination ceremony has such effects."

Looking at the changes in Han Liwan, Han Jieliu thought to himself that he had learned some new information about the little black bottle.

"If it is granted to someone else, each person can only receive one talisman. After being nourished by the life force, the talisman's grade can be improved. However, the lower the initial talisman's grade, the more difficult it is to improve."

"In addition to their inherent effects, all talismanic energy has the ability to enhance cultivation and improve aptitude. Some special talismanic energy can even serve as a substitute for acupoints, allowing mortals to embark on the path of cultivation."

"The little black bottle seems to be quite domineering. Once it bestows the talismanic energy, it can know all the information about the person who received the talisman, and can even take back the talismanic energy at any time and control their life and death."

After digesting all of this, Han Jieliu looked at Han Liwan and lightly scanned her with his divine sense.

After discovering that his cultivation level had improved, his foundation remained solid, showing no signs of weakness, and was even more stable than before, as if he had taken some kind of celestial elixir.

As Han Jieliu retrieved the small black bottle, the cloud of confusion in Han Liwan's eyes quickly dissipated, and a strange expression appeared on her beautiful face. She also felt the improvement in her cultivation.

What surprised her even more were the other changes in her body; the yin energy in the surrounding air seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally drawing closer to her.

She gently tried communicating with her breath and found that even the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and entering meditation seemed to be a few times faster than usual.

"His cultivation level has improved, and it seems even his natural talent has improved a bit."

Han Liwan was deeply shocked, but she did not forget that all of this was done by Elder Liu in front of her.

So he suppressed his joy and quickly bowed.

"I thank my uncle for his miraculous abilities. For Liwan, this is undoubtedly a second life... In the future, I am willing to serve as the elder in clan affairs and in disputes with outsiders."

Han Li wanted to say something about the changes, but found himself bound by his vow and unable to speak.

He lowered his head and realized how magical this method was, knowing that it likely involved something hidden.

This uncle came from Xiaowei Mountain. His sect had been able to govern the prefecture for hundreds of years, so his methods must be extremely powerful. Therefore, I wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

After learning about the effects of the ordination, Han Jieliu pondered for a moment and nodded.

"There's nothing I need you to do right now."

"This place is perfect for your cultivation. Your cultivation has suddenly advanced by a great margin, which is quite abrupt. Do not return to your clan for the time being, so as not to arouse suspicion... and break through to the late stage of the embryonic breathing stage first."

"Your cultivation method focuses on water, and it is close to the Yin of water. There is a Yin Spring underground. After three years, you will be able to extract a [Spring of Intent in the Netherworld] from it. It should be compatible with the spiritual energy required by your cultivation method. If you break through to the late stage of the Fetal Breathing stage, you can go down there and collect the Qi yourself."

Han Liwan's natural talent has improved, and he is only one step away from the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm.

A cultivator at the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm at the age of nineteen is truly astonishing among ordinary immortals; I myself only had this level of talent back then.

Now that Han Liwan has obtained the Qi of the Talisman, breaking through to the Qi Refining stage shouldn't be difficult for him.

He was a junior who was stuck at the threshold of the middle stage of fetal breathing, but suddenly broke through to the late stage of fetal breathing and even had the prospect of refining qi. When he returned home, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others and implicate him.

That's why Han Jieliu said that, and told her the location of the [Netherworld Spring], telling her to stay here and guard her opportunity to refine her Qi.

As for why they didn't help Han Li gather her Qi, it was naturally to control her cultivation speed and not reveal too many secrets...

Upon hearing this, Han Liwan understood the situation and nodded in agreement.

"Elder Liu, rest assured, I will not leave this place until I have cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm."

Han Jieliu left behind a communication talisman, and handed her the Water-Containing Pearl and a magic weapon at the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Water Virtue realm, before turning and leaving.

"Once you have mastered the Qi, it will be useful to us. If you diligently cultivate, you may be able to make further progress in the future."
