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

The banners of the various prefectures were unfurled, fluttering in the wind high in the sky.

The water palace stood silently, enveloping the two of them.

Its appearance was more magnificent than the last time, and some icicles were still hanging on the eaves, obviously affected by the cold air in the air.

Now, in addition to the three streams of spiritual water, Han Jieliu has also added a stream of [lower-level Qi-containing] to this item. It only needs one more stream of spiritual water to advance to the upper-level Qi-refining stage.

【The lower opening contains air】is a symbol of water and soil. Now, its integration into this water palace has brought about some changes.

Han Jieliu looked around and saw that the cold, dark water palace had been expanded considerably with the addition of bricks, tiles, and beams.

If fully deployed, it could cover an area of ​​nearly a kilometer, and it is increasingly taking on the shape of a "prefecture".

The biggest change is that another towering earthen platform has been raised and stands in the very center of the Water Palace.

The earthen platform was the color of dark soil, with a piece missing in the middle, which seemed to be a place to keep some kind of seal.

Upon seeing the gap, Han Jieliu immediately thought of the Foundation Establishment Jade Seal he had obtained from the snake demon's cave.

Behind the earthen platform, two clay statues of gods stand on either side, facing each other from a distance.

One figure straddles another, seemingly missing a mount, and is covered in black markings. He wears heavy armor with scale-like plates and holds a large spear in his hand, his expression fierce and majestic.

One of them held a talisman in his hand. He was short in stature and had a humble expression. His long robe was already trailing on the ground. The talisman had some small characters written on it, which were about interrogation and issuing imperial edicts.

Behind the hall stand two clay figures, which are not yet complete at this time, only in their rudimentary form, and have not yet developed faces.

It seems that its true form will only be revealed after the flag has been completely transformed into a high-grade magic weapon.

Han Jieliu noticed the changes in the Water Mansion and was also intrigued.

"There are even changes. It seems I still know too little about this thing. I need to find an opportunity to explore it further..."

But at this moment, they are still engaged in a battle of wits, and there is not much time for him to study.

Han Jieliu looked at Han Jinwei in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, several spiritual water swords and blades appeared and went straight for him.

These were all moves from the early stages of Qi Refining, which Han Jinwei easily blocked by slowly parrying the sword.

Looking at the strange water palace before him, Han Jinwei felt a dark aura surrounding him and was oppressed by the evil waters. He sighed softly in admiration.

"Impressive aura... You've acquired a fine treasure. Although it's only of Qi Refining grade, it possesses an aura comparable to a Foundation Establishment magic weapon. Without close inspection, it's truly difficult to discern its true nature."

Han Jinwei had a keen eye and noticed the special features of the mansion flag. It was an ancient magical artifact, and naturally it possessed some mysteries.

Although Han Jinwei praised him in this way, he did not show any envy on his face. He simply held his sword lightly to deflect the spiritual water and disperse the attack.

So he lightly stepped forward and headed towards Han Jieliu.

Sword cultivators don't have fancy moves; their artistic conceptions vary, but in the end, it's all just a single sword strike.

If you're going to kill, then kill. There's no other way; you can only rely on the few feet of blade in your hand.

Therefore, Han Jin has not used any magic techniques in the battle so far.

Of course, there are other reasons as well.

That is because most of the clan cultivators are penniless and lack spiritual resources and pills to supplement their cultivation. They don't even have time to cultivate their cultivation level, let alone cultivate any spells.

Aside from a few techniques that come with the cultivation method and are very suitable for this path, which I might practice, there are no other special methods.

Aside from mastering magical artifacts and cultivation techniques, this is also the biggest difference between cultivators from major sects and those from minor clans.

Han Jieliu saw Han Jinwei striding towards him, but he forgot that sword cultivators are even more formidable in close combat, in addition to their sword energy.

He suddenly realized that his action of enveloping the two of them in the water was somewhat inappropriate.

Unlike Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators do not have the same methods. Unless they are body cultivators or have been nourished by some kind of treasure, they are not skilled cultivators.

Without magical protection, his physical body is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Although the acupoint contains a breath of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which improves the physique, ordinary swords and blades may not be able to harm it.

However, weapons imbued with spiritual energy are nothing but flesh and blood, causing injury at the slightest touch.

If one loses an arm or a leg and is unable to break through to a higher realm, it will be a lifelong matter and may even hinder one's future path.

Han Jieliu then unleashed several more beams of water, which transformed into thick, wide, and seemingly boundless columns.

Facing the blue light of the Dharma, Han Jinwei remained calm and raised the feather in his hand.

The sword energy swelled upon seeing the wind, transforming into a wide and long sword energy as green as jade.

This is a move from the "Xiao Lu Tong Qing Sword Manual," called "[Suo Qing Zai Bi]," which powerfully cleaves the water in two.

Like a jade disc emerging from water, it still carried some momentum as it flowed towards Han Jie.

Although Han Jieliu possessed great power of Dharma, his practice of the "Method of All Waters Nourishing and Soaking Nature" was profound and had a very impressive background.

Having absorbed and refined a great deal of spiritual energy, the quality of his true essence and the amount of his magical power far surpassed those of Han Jinwei, who was practicing a third-grade cultivation technique.

However, the path of sword cultivation is truly a counter to other paths of cultivation. Once a sword technique is mastered, it becomes incomparably fierce.

One sword can break through all laws, making it impossible to fully utilize one's advantages.

The jade sword energy came towards them, but was blocked by Han Jieliu's flowing light magic. It suddenly split open, turning into green specks, and the spiritual energy scattered in all directions.

Han Jieliu knew he couldn't continue like this, so he took a few steps back and returned to the main hall of the mansion.

Han Jinwei had already drawn his sword and stepped forward. Although he hadn't gotten close yet, the sword's edge had already made his hair stand on end and sent chills down his spine. He thought to himself silently.

"Even if the patriarch can control the sword strikes, he might not hold back with his petty sword..."

So he used the flag in his hand to contact the Water Palace, trying to use some means to hinder Han Jinwei's progress.

But suddenly he discovered that as he did so, the two clay figures that had revealed their forms in the hall began to move.

The mud slowly fell away, and the scaled man and the talisman-wielding figure both stiffly turned around to look at themselves.

In an instant, Han Jieliu immediately understood the purpose of these clay figures.

"These four clay figures seem to be guardians of this water palace, able to communicate with the various water palace flags and issue decrees, all of which are under my control."

Although the identities of these two clay figures are unknown, they both exude an aura equivalent to that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, which is quite remarkable. Moreover, there are two nascent clay figures behind them.

Doesn't that mean that as long as this banner is upgraded to the superior grade, I will have four mid-stage Qi Refining guards as soon as I open my Water Palace?

"As expected of the Northern Lord's magical artifact, I quite admire its style of bullying the weak with the many."

Having learned the whole story, Han Jieliu did not hesitate and immediately issued an edict to the two clay figures, ordering them to come and protect him.

As the decree was issued, the two clay figures moved even more vigorously, and the clay fragments fell even faster, rustling as they fell, only to be swept away by the spiritual water.

Although the [lower opening containing Qi] was only recently inserted, these clay figures seem to have been sealed for many years, as if they have existed for a very long time.

Only after the dust and grime on their bodies had settled and their limbs were able to turn did the clay figures slowly begin to move.

Two figures descended from the platform, their movements still somewhat awkward, and bowed to Han Jieliu.

The man in the scale armor appeared to be a military general. The large spear in his hand was very fierce and was wrapped in black spiritual water. He was wearing heavy armor and it was inconvenient for him to bow, so he only bowed slightly.

However, the little man holding the talisman did not straighten his robes, but bowed slightly and spoke with excitement in his eyes.

"After a hundred years, Ni Er met the Lord again."
