Chapter 14

"Ao!" Han Li raised one hand high, clenched his fist, and called out excitedly.

At this time, his child-like temperament was revealed without a doubt.

It seemed his hypothesis was correct: the closed doors and windows hindered the bottle's attraction to the white light silk. Only in a vast, unobstructed place could the bottle's ability to attract light silk be better, and the light cluster the bottle could form would be larger.

Although he didn't know where these light silk came from? What use did the bottle have in absorbing these small light spots? But this should be a big step closer to uncovering the mystery.

Han Li felt that he was about to solve the secret of the bottle, which made him exceptionally excited now.

He waited until the sky was about to brighten before the light around the bottle gradually dissipated, returning to its calmness.

During this time, Han Li observed the changes in the bottle on the side, while also having to pay attention at all times not to let others discover everything here.

He bent down to pick up the bottle and checked it.

Compared to before, there was no difference. The bottle cap was still dead tight and couldn't be opened.

Han Li was disappointed, but seeing that it was getting late, he had to reluctantly put the bottle away.

He still had to rush back to the stone room to meditate and practice.

In the following several days, at a certain time every night, the same strange phenomenon would occur on the bottle. Countless light silk, like moths to a flame, were attracted by the bottle, and then turned into a large number of small light spots, greedily swallowed by the bottle.

Just when Han Li thought that this phenomenon would continue to happen on the bottle every day, on the eighth day, other changes appeared.

When Han Li came to the old place and took out the bottle to place it well, this phenomenon of absorbing light spots actually only lasted for a short half-quarter of an hour before stopping. Then, the dark green patterns on the bottle suddenly emitted dazzling green light, and several golden characters and symbols appeared on the surface of the bottle. These strange characters had soft structures and peculiar strokes, containing an indescribable ancient charm, and kept flickering and swimming on the bottle surface.

This alternative phenomenon also only lasted for an instant before disappearing, leaving only a few protruding golden strange characters on the bottle surface, as if everything had returned to the starting point before it happened.

After the strange things that happened on the bottle these past few days, Han Li was no longer as surprised as he was at the beginning. Even if something more peculiar happened on the bottle, it wouldn't make him feel stunned anymore.

He picked up the bottle nonchalantly and subconsciously tried to open the cap.

Gently, without any effort, the bottle cap was taken off the bottle.

Unbelievable! Han Li looked at the bottle cap in his hand in surprise.

Just like this, without any effort, without any skill, was this difficult problem, this big trouble he hadn't been able to solve for several days, solved so easily?

After Han Li confirmed that what was happening before his eyes was indeed true and the secret of the bottle had been placed before his eyes, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and brought his eyes to the bottle mouth to look inside.

Inside the bottle, a drop of emerald green liquid the size of a soybean was rolling slowly, reflecting the entire bottle wall into an emerald green piece.

What is this?

Han Li was a bit disappointed. He had spent so much effort, only to get such a boring thing.

He sealed the bottle cap in discouragement, put it into the leather bag, turned around, and walked toward his residence. The excitement he had just felt was thrown to the nine heavens.

Although the bottle cap had been opened by him, the result made him very dissatisfied.

Han Li prepared to explore the secret of this green liquid when he was bored in the future. Perhaps, it might give him a small surprise!

What he had to do now was—go back and have a good sleep to make up for his sleep. These past few days, he hadn't been able to sleep well every night, which made his daytime cultivation efficiency greatly reduced. Coupled with his lack of spirit, it had already caused some inquiries from Doctor Mo.

Ever since Han Li became Doctor Mo's direct disciple and broke through the first layer of the formula, he always felt that he had lost the motivation to practice this formula. Moreover, the effect after practicing this formula was so unsatisfactory that he couldn't lift his spirit to practice at all.

For this, Doctor Mo had scolded him severely.

However, whenever it was time to practice, he was still drowsy and listless, without any spirit.

This situation made Doctor Mo a bit crazy, thinking whether he had accepted the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Han Li also felt a bit aggrieved. He didn't want to be like this either, but he really wasn't in a state.

What Han Li didn't expect was that the day after he woke up from his sleep, he once again actively and wholeheartedly threw himself into crazy cultivation.

The reason he made such a move was just a light sentence from Doctor Mo.

"For every layer you improve in practicing this formula, I will double the silver that should be issued to you every month." Doctor Mo finally saw Han Li's desire for money and found a solution from the root, binding him to the chariot of desperate cultivation with a simple sentence.

In the following days, Han Li practiced desperately to practice the next layer of the formula.

Every day, from morning to noon, from noon to night, entering the stone room twice a day to meditate and practice, living this monotonous, boring life, throwing everything else behind his head.

To let him concentrate on cultivation without being disturbed by external matters, Doctor Mo temporarily closed the entire Divine Hand Valley to the outside world, even treating illnesses and healing people outside the valley, and didn't let him worry about daily food, clothing, and usage at all.

The matter of the bottle was thus gradually forgotten by Han Li.

Autumn went and winter came, spring passed and summer arrived.

In the blink of an eye, four years passed, and Han Li was already fourteen years old.

He had grown into a dark-skinned, silent, and determined village youth. Just from his appearance, he was no different from other ordinary farming youths in the countryside. He was equally unremarkable, neither handsome nor elegant.

Just shuttling between the stone room—residence, residence—stone room, occasionally going to Doctor Mo's place to learn some medical skills, and flipping through other various different books in his room, the entire mountain valley became his whole world, and his formula cultivation naturally reached the third layer.
