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

Han Jieliu headed towards the East Perch, his figure hidden in the clouds and water, when he suddenly saw the aura of a treacherous creature sweep past below.

"The aura of a sorcerer... he's probably a cultivator from the Yuan family..."

Although this gray mist was moving very fast, it was still only at the speed of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

When Han Jieliu saw the cultivator from the Yuan family, he naturally had nothing to say and rode the wind to stop him.

The person in the gray fog was Yuan Xingguan, who had just escaped from the market.

He received his uncle's dying wish to deliver the message to the clan as soon as possible, fearing that demonic cultivators might pursue them.

Seeing a presence approaching, they quickly dodged.

Han Jieliu could see through the gray mist to the cultivator's cultivation level and realized that he had only recently broken through, just like Han Jieyu had back then.

He immediately conjured several water spells to block the way, and then a beam of condensed water light pierced through the mist, striking his chest and abdomen.

Yuan Xingguan clutched his chest and abdomen, lost his balance while riding the wind, and immediately fell from the gray mist, crashing to the ground and dying.

He died without uttering a single word, and without even seeing who attacked him.

Han Jie swung his sword again, smashing the man's head to pieces.

They finally found Yuan Xingguan's storage bag from a pile of mangled flesh and blood. There wasn't much inside, just some odds and ends, a low-grade Qi-refining magical artifact, and a Yuan family identity token.

"This man is named Yuan Xingguan. He is a cultivator from the Yuan family. There is also a transfer order in his bag, which was issued several months ago, ordering him to be stationed in the market."

"Ever since the Yuan family seized control of the market, they have been stationed there. Why are they now fleeing in such a panic? Has the market fallen?"

With a question lingering in his mind, Han Jieli increased his speed.

As they approached the eastern lake, they could see black mist swirling in the sky, and the great array of the market had already shattered.

Inside, flames blazed and dust billowed, clearly indicating that the city had fallen.

"How could the formation have been broken so quickly..."

"According to the message from Qingzhu Pavilion, the Yuan family has sent a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining to guard this market. Could it be that there are late-stage demonic cultivators among them?"

Han Jieliu dared not approach, and could only use the sensing techniques of his home to investigate from a distance.

They could only detect a faint presence to the south, so they followed it.

All that could be seen were a few of the family members who had been assigned here, hiding in the woods below, their faces filled with fear, slowly fleeing towards Mengtan Mountain.

The highest cultivation level among these disciples was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Han Jieliu had not been looking at Han Chilu among them, so his aura was revealed and landed in front of them.

The appearance of Han Jieliu immediately brought joy and relief to the disciples.

"Greetings, Elder Liu..."

One of the older monks stepped forward and respectfully explained the situation.

"Reporting to the elders, Donglu Market was invaded by demonic cultivators yesterday. A cultivator used an axe to break through the great formation, and about seven or eight of them entered the market."

"Those demonic cultivators were extremely ferocious. They killed the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator stationed by the Yuan family and went on a killing spree. Bloodlust filled the sky, and it seemed that they had the tendency to kill all the cultivators."

"Another cultivator from the Yuan family escaped. In order to cover our escape, Steward Han Chilu lured away the demonic cultivators alone and unfortunately died."

Han Jieliu remained silent for a while after hearing this. After all, he had met Han Chilu before, but he never expected that Han Chilu would die in the market and that his body could not even be recovered.

He didn't say anything more, glanced back at Donglu Market, then placed his disciples on the Huyun River and headed home.

-----------------

On Jianzhu Mountain, Han Jinwei quietly put down the peach seeds in his hand and solemnly put them in a box.

Since comprehending the [Azure Sword Qi], his mind has been opened up, and he seems to have been enlightened again. His cultivation and understanding of swordsmanship have progressed very rapidly.

Not only did his cultivation level break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, but his understanding of swordsmanship also improved significantly, and he thoroughly comprehended the "Xiao Lu Tong Qing Sword Technique".

Han Jinwei thought to himself silently.

"After all, my family doesn't have a deep foundation, and we don't have any long-standing sword techniques or arts. It's time to go and find them."

"However, this matter needs to be put aside for now. I need to accumulate more cultivation over another year, and I think I will be able to start working on breaking through to the later stage. It won't be too late to go out then."

As he spoke, he calculated the number of Qi refining items in his home.

Not counting the amount of Qi in the early stage of Qi refining and the amount of miscellaneous Qi, in terms of Qi refining in the middle stage alone, it has gradually approached the level of the Wang and Yuan families.

Han Jieliu had already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and he couldn't even see his own level clearly. Han Chiting took the pills he obtained from the lake, and his cultivation was stable. He was preparing to break through to the mid-stage.

Not long ago, Hurbao had also completed his cultivation and was sent to the Great Stupa Plain.

He cultivates the orthodox Dharma, specifically the "Scripture of Cutting the Mat with the Tiger," which is related to shamanism and involves going to the source to gather Qi.

But since he was of barbarian origin, his family was not completely at ease with him.

He was only taught how to gather qi, but not how to refine it.

After he filled a bottle with gas, he had to go home and travel back and forth between the plains and Jianzhu Mountain, which also made it convenient for his family to keep abreast of the situation in the witch's land.

"There are more than a dozen people with spiritual potential in this generation, the most in any generation, and their talent is quite remarkable."

"Li Xiao of the Chi Ting lineage and Li Qing of the side lineage, one cultivates the 'Building Azure Spirit Yuan Gong' and the other has changed to cultivate the 'Peak Bamboo Extracting Mango Scripture'. Both of them have the aptitude to refine Qi."

"Since Chijun suffered serious injuries at home, and his lifespan has been shortened, he must make amends to him, lest he disappoint the rest of his family..."

"His descendants lacked talent, so he was sent to study the book 'Guangxiao's Wonderful Answers on Pregnancy and Nurturing,' and to wield the 'Calamity Embryo' that he brought back. This was a combat power comparable to Qi Refining."

"Among the four families with different surnames, including the current Huerbao, there should be five. The Feng family has good talent, and every generation produces a mixed-qi cultivator."

"I never dared to use him when I was managing the household. All I ever taught him were techniques that didn't exceed Qi Refining. At most, he could only cultivate to the late stage of Fetal Breathing and break through the mixed Qi. I was afraid that if we encountered another beast tide like that year, my family would lose a pillar and be taken advantage of by this outsider."

"Now that my family is becoming increasingly prosperous, I don't need to worry about this issue anymore and can use it with peace of mind."

Han Jinwei thought about many matters concerning the clan, and after several deliberations, he finally made a decision.

He looked at the Han family ancestral hall in front of him. A gentle breeze blew by, and long wisps of smoke drifted by. The Shangluqing sword hung quietly on the sword rack.

Since breaking through the sword qi barrier, he has become one with the Lingqing Sword, making it his natal weapon.

Shang Luqing rarely used it, but he infused it with three sword energies, leaving it for future generations to comprehend.

Han Jinwei gently held the incense and offered the prayers, then muttered to himself.

"The Han family is on the rise, but I am already old, over sixty, and my energy is waning. I think that breaking through to the late stage is my peak, and the Foundation Establishment stage is something I can hardly hope to achieve."

"Jieliu has a great chance to establish a foundation, and he also has the opportunity to lead my family to prosperity... In addition, with the breakthroughs of several of his descendants, the family will surely have a new look."

Han Jinwei stroked the sword at his waist, his hair falling loosely, but a hint of joy rose in his heart.

He walked out of the ancestral hall and saw Han Shediao already waiting at the courtyard gate, looking somewhat flustered.

Han Shediao swallowed hard as he watched Han Jinwei walk out of the ancestral hall.

"Master, a scout from outside the clan has reported that someone from the Yuan family has arrived. It is their ancestor... Yuan Yingtuan, who has reached the outskirts of our clan."
