Chapter 14 – Mysterious Liquid

　　”Ow!” Han Li raised a hand high in the air, clenched his fist, and shouted out in excitement.

　　At this point, his child’s temperament was revealed.

　　It seemed that his assumption was correct: closed doors and windows hindered the bottle’s attraction to the white filaments of light, and it was only in a vast and unobstructed place that the bottle’s ability to attract the filaments of light would be better, and the mass of light that the bottle could form would be larger.

　　Though I wonder where these filaments of light come from? And what was the use of the bottle inhaling these small points of light? But this should be a big step closer to unraveling the mystery.

　　Han Li felt that he was on the verge of unlocking the bottle’s secret, which caused him to be extraordinarily excited right now.

　　It was only when the sky was about to dawn that the light around the bottle gradually faded, restoring its calmness.

　　During this period of time, Han Li was observing the bottle’s changes from the side, and also had to keep a watchful eye on it from time to time, so as not to be discovered by others who had discovered everything here.

　　He leaned down and picked up the bottle, examined it, and compared to before there was no difference, the cap was still dead and could not be opened.

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

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

　　Over the next several days, every certain hour of the night, the same vision would occur with the bottle. Countless filaments of light, like moths to a flame, were attracted to the bottle, and then turned into a large number of small points of light that were greedily devoured by the bottle.

　　Just as Han Li thought that this phenomenon would continue to occur on the bottle every day, on the eighth day there were other changes.

　　When Han Li came to the old place and took the bottle out and put it away, this phenomenon of absorbing light points unexpectedly only lasted for a short half a quarter of an hour before stopping. Then the dark green pattern on the bottle’s body, suddenly emitted a dazzling green light, and on the surface of the bottle, several golden yellow characters and symbols emerged. These strange characters, with a supple structure and peculiar strokes, had an indescribable ancient flavor contained within them, and kept flickering and swimming non-stop on the surface of the bottle.

　　This otherworldly phenomenon, also lasted only a moment and all disappeared, leaving only a few protruding golden strange characters on the surface of the bottle, it seems that all things are back to square one.

　　After these few days of strange happenings on the bottle, Han Li was no longer as fussed about these strange phenomena as he had been at the beginning, and the occurrence of something even stranger than this on the bottle would no longer cause him much consternation.

　　He picked up the bottle with a big grin and subconsciously tried to open the lid. Gently and effortlessly, the cap was removed from the bottle.

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

　　Just so effortlessly, without spending a single bit of skill, he had solved this difficult problem, this big nuisance that he hadn’t been able to solve for days, so easily?

　　Waiting for Han Li to confirm that what was happening in front of him was indeed true, and that the secret of the bottle had been placed under his own eyes, he could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, and brought his eyes to the mouth of the bottle, peering inside.

　　Inside the bottle, a drop of turquoise liquid as big as a soybean was slowly rolling inside, reflecting the entire wall of the bottle into a green piece.

　　What is this? Han Li was a bit disappointed that he had gone through all the trouble and only obtained such an uninteresting thing.

　　Discouraged, he sealed the bottle’s lid and put it away in his leather pouch, turning around to walk towards his residence, the excitement he had just felt thrown out the window.

　　Although, the bottle’s lid had been opened by him, the result left him very dissatisfied.

　　Han Li was prepared to explore the secrets of this drop of green liquid later when he had nothing to be bored with. Perhaps, it might give him a small surprise!

　　Right now, all he had to do was – go back and get a good night’s sleep to catch up on his sleep. Over the past few days, he had failed to sleep properly and peacefully every night, causing his efficiency in practicing during the day to be greatly reduced, which, coupled with his lack of spirit, had already caused some inquiries from Doctor Mo.

　　Ever since Han Li became Dr. Mo’s personal disciple and broke through the first layer of the recipe, he always felt that he had no motivation to practice this recipe. Not to mention that the effect of this recipe after practicing it made him so dissatisfied that he couldn’t raise his spirit to practice it.

　　For this reason, Dr. Mo severely reprimanded him a time, but when it came to the time to practice, he was still lethargic, listless, no spirit at all.

　　This situation made Dr. Mo a bit frantic, thinking that he hadn’t admitted the wrong person.

　　At the thought of this, Han Li also felt a bit aggrieved, it wasn’t like he wanted to be like this, but the person was really out of shape.

　　What Han Li couldn’t have imagined was that the next day after he woke up with a start, he once again took the initiative and devoted himself to frantic cultivation.

　　The reason for him to make such a move was simply Dr. Mo’s light words, “For every layer of cultivation of this recipe, I will double the amount of silver that should be sent to you each month.”

　　Dr. Mo finally saw Han Li’s desire for money and found a solution from the root, a simple word tied him to the chariot of desperate cultivation.

　　In the following days, Han Li desperately cultivated in order to practice the next layer of the mantra.

　　Every day, from morning to noon, and from noon to night, twice a day, he entered the stone room, cultivating and meditating, living this one-size-fits-all, boring, monotonous life, leaving everything else behind.

　　Mo doctor in order to let him concentrate on cultivation do not let the outside world things interfere with him, the entire God’s Hand Valley are temporarily closed to the outside world, and even see a doctor to cure people are outside the valley, daily food and clothing is not let him worry about half a point.

　　Bottle of things, so gradually was Han Li forgotten to the back of his mind.

　　Autumn goes to winter, spring passes and summer arrives. 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 resolute country boy. Only from his appearance, there was no difference between him and other ordinary farming teenagers from ordinary farming families, the same unnoticeable, neither handsome nor suave.

　　Just every day in the stone room – residence, residence – stone room between the two shuttle, and occasionally go to Dr. Mo’s place to learn some medical skills, and then in his room flipping through all kinds of other different books, so the whole valley has become his entire world, his oral skills also water to the third layer of practice.
