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

Upon seeing the scene before him, Han Jieliu was stunned for a moment.

"These array flags are actually array formation inheritance texts, and hidden within them is an array formation inheritance at the Foundation Establishment level..."

No wonder that hermit from Xiling carried this [White Jade Cold Array] with him; no wonder this [White Jade Cold Array] was so ordinary, it turns out it had such profound meaning.

Looking at the words on the jade slip, one could see that it was a classic text annotated by Xu Liuyan.

Han Jieliu dared not look any longer and immediately lowered his head, feeling a sense of fear.

"The inheritance of a Foundation Establishment level formation is extremely precious. I'm afraid this Hao family patriarch will kill me to silence me."

Han Jieliu was still considering whether there was any possibility of escaping, while Hao Yangzhao was also shocked when he looked at the jade slip in his hand.

It turned out to be a Foundation Establishment level array inheritance, from the Xu family of Donghe County.

But when he looked at Han Jieliu beside him, he remained silent for a moment without making any move. It seemed that the name of Xue Yinbai, the sword cultivator of Zhengqing Peak, was indeed very intimidating.

Neither of them spoke, and the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Only wisps of smoke, not yet completely dissipated, lingered between my nose and eyes.

Finally, Han Jieliu spoke first, respectfully.

"Two years ago, when Ancestor Hao advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, my family did not offer any congratulatory gifts. This array flag will serve as a belated offering from my Han family."

That was a good way to defuse the situation.

Upon hearing this, Hao Yangzhao stopped thinking about it.

He nodded slightly, and immediately a wisp of candle smoke rolled up from his sleeve, concealing the battle flags.

"You are indeed exceptionally quick-witted. However, offering such a valuable item is far too extravagant."

"Since the Han family is now under my control, the offerings for the next twenty years will be waived."

Han Jieliu didn't seem to care much about the reward, since it wasn't his responsibility anyway. He simply thanked him and said...

"If the Ancestor has no further instructions, this junior will take his leave."

"Hmm, you may leave now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Jieliu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and his heart was much lighter.

He immediately bowed and dared not linger any longer. He left the hall and rode the wind away as soon as he stepped out the door.

The two boys holding fans at the door took over, and the candle holders were replaced by servants.

Hao Qiudu, dressed in a crimson robe, finally entered through the palace gate. He seemed to already know what had just happened and respectfully greeted everyone as he entered the palace.

"Ancestor, why release this Han family member? This is a Foundation Establishment level array inheritance, capable of bringing prosperity to a clan or destroying it. I'm afraid even Xiaowei Mountain would be wary if they knew about it..."

Hao Yangzhao did not answer, but spoke slowly.

"When I first established my immortal foundation, I explored the entire southeast of Linjiang and found that it was inhabited by small clans that could be easily defeated, with nothing worth paying attention to."

"Upon arriving at the Han family, I sensed a trace of sword energy, gentle yet sharp."

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiudu fell silent and murmured softly.

"Sword Essence..."

If this thing were to appear in Linjiang County, it could only represent the sword-wielding patriarch of the upper sect.

That exceptionally talented Xue Yinbai, with a sword at his waist, carried the power of spring and rain.

Hao Yangzhao continued.

"I looked down and saw that the Han family patriarch was holding a peach seed in his hand. It was smooth and bluish-white and he was comprehending the Dao of Sword. It was actually a Dao Sword Essence Material, the Dao Sword Essence Material of that Xue Yinbai."

"You must know that a Sword Essence Condensation is the first thing a sword cultivator condenses after a breakthrough, containing the essence of that sword cultivator. How could it be given away so easily?"

"With this item, the relationship between the Han family, Zheng Qingfeng, and even the Xue family must be deeper than my family imagined."

Hao Qiudu pondered the matter and realized the importance of the news.

Thinking of something her father had said, she asked softly, with a hint of doubt.

"Ancestor, since that's the case... The Xue family is now very powerful, with one Foundation Establishment cultivator and one sword cultivator. They can be considered a first-class family in Xiaowei Mountain."

"If his family intends to support and protect the Han family, how can we implement our family's plan to move south and encompass the lake?"

Hao Yangzhao did not move, but the people beside him swayed even more, like candle flames on a tray in their hands.

He replied.

"The situation in Huannan Ridge is extremely volatile, and there may be someone plotting something there. My family has only just been promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is not something we can interfere with."

"The frozen lake to the west has been frozen for more than two years now. We originally thought that the cold snake was helping our family to seduce Guo Linya, but who knew that it had other plans and has caused trouble until now. Meanwhile, on the Dasu Plain to the east, owls are flying around constantly, making a great commotion. There are even rumors that the Purple Mansion is about to perish."

"The cultivation clans have conquered the west and occupied the east, not through the efforts of one generation, but through the accumulation of hundreds of years... Since it is difficult to advance here, it is better to leave it for the future."

Hao Yangzhao looked into the distance.

"Now that my family has become a Foundation Establishment family, we have some qualifications to compete in the world. Of all the things around us, the Dongyang Tianluo in twenty years is more important. It is a cave heaven left by Fengyao Mountain, where we cultivate [Fu Huo] together, which is very important to my family."

"If we are lucky enough to find something good, we might even be able to find a cultivation method for our family that is enough to reach the Purple Mansion Realm."

Hao Qiudu naturally listened carefully to the rare teachings of his ancestor.

Based on his lineage and aptitude, although he may not be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, he should be the one to take on the position of head of the family in the future.

These are all summaries of essential principles for managing a household and the situation in Linjiang. They must be remembered, pondered, and repeatedly considered.

Seeing the junior's expression, Hao Yangzhao smiled and changed the subject.

"As for Xiaowei Mountain, you don't need to worry too much. Ever since my family established its foundation, Xiaowei Mountain seems unwilling to contact us."

"Aside from sending a congratulatory letter and gifts two years ago, there has been no further contact. Even after several attempts to get a response, there has been no reaction whatsoever."

After pondering and hesitating for a moment, Hao Qiudu looked at the old ancestor in front of him and finally asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Ancestor Yangzhao, back then you suddenly decided to risk breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, contacting that great demon on the lake, and luring Guo Linya away..."

"But did we take such a risk and receive some unusual news? Or... is there some powerful figure backing my family?"

Hao Yangzhao looked at the disciples below, who were biting their lips, looking somewhat fearful and curious, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He also recalled the scene from that time, the scene that marked a turning point in his family's fate.

【Fu Huo】A good and sincere sacrificial ceremony to receive the sunlight, so the Hao family attaches great importance to sacrificial rites.

One day, Hao Yangzhao returned from performing a sacrificial ceremony. When he awoke from his cultivation, he saw that everything in the cave was shaking, as if responding with several sounds.

Looking up, one could see that cracks had appeared on all the beams and pillars, and the rest were no exception.

Wherever the eye can see, hard objects crumble and shatter, while soft objects turn to dust. All things are twisted and bent, their heads bowed and their bodies slumped, their integrity as if ravaged by some strange force.

Just then, a figure whose face was obscured suddenly appeared in his cave.

Not to mention the face, even the person's clothes were indistinct, only a purple hue was visible.

The moment this adult appeared, Hao Yangzhao felt as if his spine had been removed, and he could no longer straighten his body.

Like the objects in the mansion, he collapsed to the ground, his body limp and his eyes downcast, almost shattering into pieces.

The adult glanced at him, or perhaps he didn't, but simply opened his mouth slightly.

A thunderous roar shook the area, reverberating above.

The voice did not sound like a human voice, but rather like the sound of someone striking a drum heavily in the void.

The sound of the drum echoed rapidly and repeatedly in Hao Yangzhao's ears and nose, and he heard it a thousand times.

Finally, it turned into a pool of bitter water, flowing out from several orifices, before finally becoming completely still.

Hao Yangzhao will probably never forget those words, even a hundred years from now.

All I heard was one sentence, sixteen characters.

"Go and seek the foundation for immortality in three days. If you do, you will succeed. No one should dare to stop you."
