Mortal: I can unlock the card pool by becoming an apprentice to him.

"Xiao Lizi, it's lunchtime, are you still going to the main kitchen?"

Outside, Zhang Tie's deep voice suddenly rang out, startling Han Li on the bed, who shuddered abruptly.

"I'm not going, Brother Tie. Could you bring some back for me? I think I caught a cold; I have absolutely no energy."

Han Li coughed a few times, and only after the footsteps outside gradually faded away did he refocus his gaze on the Yellow Dragon Grass in his hand.

As his fingertips traced the thick, purplish leaves, Han Li could almost hear his own heart pounding in the quiet room.

He never imagined that the small green bottle he had casually picked up would have the effect of ripening fruit.

After discovering the unusual nature of this yellow dragon grass in the medicinal herb field that day, he secretly conducted several experiments. Finally, he figured out how to use it.

If the green liquid in the bottle is diluted and sprinkled on the herbs, it will have a growth-inducing effect that can take several years to mature.

If he drips the green liquid directly onto the herbs, he will be able to obtain a hundred-year-old herb the next day!

"Incredible. How can such a miraculous thing exist in this world?"

"Having this little green bottle is like having endless wealth, isn't it?"

Han Li couldn't help but lick his lips.

Since practicing Changchun Gong, he has felt that his mind is much clearer than before.

Even though he was just a child at the time, he already knew the principle of "possessing a treasure is a crime".

"This matter must not be told to anyone. Even in front of my senior brother and Brother Tie, I must keep it a secret."

Han Li secretly made up his mind. It wasn't that he didn't trust the two of them, but that he knew that sometimes, people couldn't control their own behavior.

If this gets out, the entire God Hand Valley will probably be in chaos.

Just as Han Li was on guard, the knocking sounded again.

"Here you are, Brother Tie."

Han Li then realized he was very hungry and quickly jumped out of bed to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the moment the door opened, Lin Mo appeared.

"Senior Brother!"

Han Li's face was instantly filled with surprise and astonishment.

"Why are you only just getting back? Where have you been all this time?"

Although Lin Mo looked travel-worn, his eyes remained clear and sharp.

Especially between his brows, there was an indescribable joy hidden, as if... he had found some treasure.

"Where's Zhang Tie? I have something to tell you."

noon.

It was still under the big tree in the courtyard.

The three sat together, and the table was filled with various dishes taken from the main kitchen.

But at this moment, neither Zhang Tie nor Han Li had the slightest desire to eat.

"Senior brother, are you saying that Master... has abandoned us to cultivate immortality?"

Han Li's expression was strange. He looked at Zhang Tie, then at Lin Mo, and really didn't know what to say.

Zhang Tie looked worried.

"Senior brother, when will Master be back? Do I still need to practice the Elephant Armor Technique? Also, I want to go down the mountain to buy some things next month, but Master won't be here. What should I do?"

Lin Mo rubbed his temples, knowing that his words were too incredible for the two of them.

But there's no way around it; you have to come back to life the story you changed.

Because he revealed the existence of the Golden Light Master in advance, Doctor Mo did not place all his hopes on Han Li.

This resulted in the fact that, although he kept urging Han Li to practice diligently, he ultimately did not reach the level of madness described in the original work.

If I were to tell them the truth, who knows what other opinions they might have about me?

At the same time, without Doctor Mo's supervision, Han Li's cultivation speed was far less rapid and advanced than in the original story.

"That's enough."

Lin Mo suddenly extended a finger.

"Senior brother, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Tie asked in a muffled voice.

"Watch closely."

Suddenly, a small fireball the size of a fist appeared on Lin Mo's fingertip. With a casual flick of his finger, the fireball flew out and exploded in an open space not far away, leaving only a small patch of charred marks.

"This is what cultivators are like. Doctor Mo has gone to cultivate immortality. From now on, we are no longer from the same world. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Han Li and Zhang Tie were stunned for a long time before they finally came to their senses.

Afterwards, Lin Mo explained to them in detail many common knowledge about cultivators.

"Senior brother, does that mean the Everlasting Spring Technique I cultivate is a cultivation method for immortality?"

Han Li leaned forward abruptly, his eyes shining brightly. After listening to his senior brother say so much, how could he suppress his surging emotions? He immediately blurted out his answer.

"Indeed, you possess a wood-attribute spiritual root, this method is perfect for you."

After saying that, Lin Mo looked at Zhang Tie and said, "Later I will teach you the 'Fire-Igniting Technique'. If you can cultivate spiritual power, then you will have truly embarked on the path of cultivation."

"Flying through the air and escaping into the earth... achieving immortality. Senior brother, I must become a cultivator!"

Zhang Tie clenched his fists tightly, his dark face turning bright red. Even his usually honest eyes were now filled with a burning longing.

"Alright, the three of us brothers will now focus on our cultivation in this Divine Hand Valley. Once we've made some progress, I'll take you to explore the world of cultivation."

Lin Mo spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty.

He must attend the future Tainan Small Meeting, as it is the only way he knows to contact the seven factions of Yue.

Regarding Han Li, to ensure the card pool doesn't deviate from its intended course, he must use the Ascension Token to join the Yellow Maple Valley before he can feel at ease.

"I don't think this counts as drastically altering the original plot."

Lin Mo thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.

That night.

Han Li tossed and turned in bed.

Should I tell my senior about the little green bottle?

To be honest, Han Li was a little conflicted.

Thinking of all the care and honesty Lin Mo had shown him before, he felt a little guilty.

Moreover, since my senior brother shared even things like cultivating immortality with them without hesitation, I feel like I owe him too much for being so secretive.

But then I thought about it again.

According to my senior brother, aged herbs are extremely valuable in the cultivation world.

If one wants to break through a cultivation level, no one can do without the assistance of spiritual herbs and medicines. Just thinking about how those cultivators, as his senior brother had mentioned, could fight each other over an old herb, made his heart sink.

Such a treasure, capable of artificially ripening spiritual herbs, once exposed, would not only attract the covetousness of outsiders, but even one's closest relatives might be blinded by greed.

"Forget it, it's best not to tell my senior brothers about the little green bottle for now. But if necessary, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Han Li finally made his choice.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Then I heard two even snores coming from the side.

Lin Mo, who was on the couch, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night was clear and bright.

Lin Mo continued walking until he reached an extremely secluded spot in the valley before stopping.

Lin Mo reached into the leather pouch at his waist and gently hooked it, taking out the small bottle inside.

In an instant, countless points of light surrounded the bottle, forming a large ball of light.

"Absorbing moonlight..."
