5: Chapter 5: Talking to Han Li about the Heavenly Bottle!
After completing the conversion of his Cultivation Technique, Zhao Changsheng directly called Han Li over to speed up his Cultivate progress.
"Junior Brother, did you happen to obtain a little green bottle within the School?"
As soon as Han Li entered the room, Zhao Changsheng, sitting in a grand armchair, asked him straightforwardly.
Upon hearing Zhao Changsheng's inquiry, Han Li's expression changed instantly, filled with immense surprise.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Zhao Changsheng to know about this, especially since the current Han Li hadn't yet discovered the true function of the little green bottle.
Even so, he was shocked by the revelation.
"You don't need to be so surprised. Since you've already obtained it, it's yours. I won't fight you for it. However, looking at you, it seems you haven't discovered the true function of this little green bottle yet. How about this: when night falls, I'll tell you its true purpose. I also need to use this little green bottle for some things."
The reason Zhao Changsheng spoke so directly was that he wanted to Cultivate faster. As for safety, he wasn't too worried because he believed that with his Card Drawing System, his future achievements would definitely be higher than Han Li's, never lower. Under these circumstances, there was naturally no need to worry too much about safety.
Moreover, he only intended to borrow it and had no intention of taking it by force.
Firstly, because he already had the System, there was no need to steal it.
Secondly, he did have some slight concerns regarding safety.
Han Li naturally didn't know Zhao Changsheng's thoughts, but he still nodded and agreed.
He knew that if he didn't give it up, Zhao Changsheng had enough strength to take it from him by force.
Although he was curious about the function of the little green bottle he had found, he had no choice but to agree for now.
"Mm."
And so, the two agreed to meet again at night, at which point Zhao Changsheng would tell Han Li the function of the little green bottle.
However, Han Li didn't leave immediately, as Zhao Changsheng began to talk to him about his experiences in Cultivate.
Han Li was both surprised and delighted by Zhao Changsheng's insights, listening with immense patience, afraid to miss even the slightest detail.
After Zhao Changsheng finished his explanation, Han Li felt a bit more gratitude toward him.
Nevertheless, he left the room to attend to other matters... As night fell, Han Li arrived as promised!
"Take out the little green bottle. I'll tell you what its function is now. Once you know, you must never tell anyone, otherwise, we both will face mortal danger. Especially you—it would definitely result in your death. So, you must not tell a soul."
After saying this, Zhao Changsheng reached out his hand.
Faced with Zhao Changsheng's gesture, Han Li hesitated slightly but still carefully took the little green bottle out from his robes.
From Zhao Changsheng's words, he had already realized that this little green bottle was definitely an extremely important treasure.
Otherwise, how could it bring about mortal danger?
Despite his reluctance, Han Li handed it to Zhao Changsheng.
In fact, he had thought about running away before coming, but after considering it back and forth, he ultimately showed up.
After all, even if he tried to escape, he might not succeed.
He felt that Zhao Changsheng was surely on guard against him fleeing and would never allow it.
After taking the little green bottle, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but feel a bit excited—one could even say waves of shock were crashing in his heart—but he still placed it on the table near the window.
Then, he watched with wide eyes as the moonlight poured onto the little green bottle.
Before long, rice-sized white spots of light appeared around the little green bottle, and then the entire bottle was enveloped by this layer of white light. The glow emitted by these white spots was very soft, without any harshness.
There was even an icy, cool sensation radiating from it, making one feel exceptionally comfortable.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression became one of utter shock.
As time passed, countless white spots of light gathered around the little green bottle, forming a cluster of light as large as a washbasin. Seeing this cluster, a look of joy appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.
However, he didn't move it; he just kept watching, making no other movements.
It wasn't until dawn arrived that the light cluster gradually faded and the spots of light vanished completely.
Throughout the night, the two brothers hadn't said a single word, and the expressions on their faces were quite different.
"You saw the phenomenon just now, didn't you? But this is only the first day. It takes six days. After six days, you'll know the true function of this little green bottle. Remember, you must not tell anyone about what happened tonight, not even Zhang Tie—no one at all. When the time comes, even if I don't say it, you'll know the bottle's function. Alright, go back and rest. After all, you've been watching all night. I'll leave the matters in the valley to Zhang Tie; you don't need to worry about them."
Zhao Changsheng picked up the little green bottle from the table and handed it to Han Li, leaving Han Li even more shocked. He had originally thought Zhao Changsheng would take it for himself, but he hadn't expected him to return the little green bottle.
"Keep it safe, don't tell anyone, and come back tonight."
After Zhao Changsheng's exhortation, Han Li took it and nodded heavily.
"Great Master, rest assured, I will definitely not tell anyone."
With that, Han Li tucked the little green bottle into his robes, left the room, and went back to his own quarters to rest.
Meanwhile, Zhao Changsheng was thinking about how to turn Han Li into a tool for growing his medicines.
After all, if he wanted to accelerate his Cultivate, he needed a large amount of Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines. He already had the prescriptions and the refining methods.
What he lacked now was a large quantity of medicinal ingredients. To get these ingredients, he needed Han Li's help.
That was why he had informed him about the little green bottle.
In any case, as long as he could get the help of the little green bottle, whether he actually owned the thing wasn't very important. For now, the little green bottle had only one use: cultivating Spirit Medicine. It had no other use yet.
As long as he could obtain a large amount of Spirit Medicine to refine into Medicinal Pills and speed up his Cultivate, that was enough for Zhao Changsheng.
Once he had enough strength and had mastered his Spells and Divine Ability as much as possible, he could go and complete the next task: killing Venerable Golden Light to obtain the immortal ascension token.
After all, trying to get the immortal ascension token without killing Venerable Golden Light was pure wishful thinking; it was simply impossible. He wouldn't show any mercy.
Since this matter concerned his task, how could there be such a thing as mercy? It was absolutely non-existent.
After Han Li returned to his room, he took out the little green bottle from his robes and observed it carefully, but he couldn't discover anything. He thought about running away with the little green bottle, but immediately suppressed that thought.
