Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

“Presumably, the profound mysteries of this bottle are also of some help to Brother Teng? After all, it is a creation of the Immortal Realm, quite extraordinary.” Han Li said, as if he had just remembered something, and quickly asked, “Oh, right, since Brother Teng has already captured that True Immortal alive, you must know the true origin of my Little Green Bottle by now, right?”

Han Li speculated with a hint of curiosity: “Could my Little Green Bottle be a Xuan Tian Treasure conceived in the Immortal Realm?”

He was quite curious about the origin of his Little Green Bottle.

Just as Xuan Tian Treasures are treasures far exceeding ordinary spirit treasures in the Spirit Realm, perhaps Xuan Tian Treasures born in the Immortal Realm are also treasures far exceeding immortal artifacts. With his limited knowledge of the Immortal Realm, it was inevitable that he would have such thoughts.

“I’m afraid Brother Han will be disappointed.” From within the Immortal Vine, Fang Ming’s voice came out, “I only know that Brother Han’s small bottle is called the palm heaven bottle, held by a certain Dao Ancestor in the Upper Realm. It is the most precious treasure of a great power named the Nine Yuan View, but as for its true origin, I don’t know either.”

“A Dao Ancestor’s treasure?” Han Li’s expression turned ugly. Although he didn’t know what realm a Dao Ancestor was, such a title was probably something only an immortal who had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm could possess.

“That’s right, there is a very powerful restriction protecting the True Immortal from the Lower Realm’s primordial spirit, making it difficult to perform soul-searching on him.” Fang Ming explained.

Fang Ming then continued, “Presumably, that True Immortal from the Lower Realm also doesn’t know the origin of the palm heaven bottle. He came to the Lower Realm simply to retrieve this treasure.”

“Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Brother Teng.” Han Li cupped his hands in thanks, then quickly asked again, “May I ask what cultivation realm the Dao Ancestor Brother Teng mentioned is?”

“A Dao Ancestor is a top figure in the Immortal Realm, who has achieved the Dao. I don’t know more about the matter of Dao Ancestors.” Fang Ming answered briefly.

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s expression became even more unsightly.

This situation was undoubtedly very bad for him. He hadn’t even ascended yet and had already offended a top figure in the Immortal Realm!

Seeing the Old Devil’s gloomy expression, Fang Ming secretly chuckled and said, “Brother Han, you don’t need to worry too much. According to some fragmented memories of that True Immortal, Dao Ancestors generally don’t make a move easily. It seems there is some kind of risk.”

Han Li shook his head and said, “If the palm heaven bottle is truly that Dao Ancestor’s treasure, I’m afraid he might have some means to sense the palm heaven bottle.”

“Brother Han, you don’t need to worry. According to my guess, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance he can’t sense the bottle itself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come down to search now. You should know that the Nine Yuan View in the Upper Realm lost this bottle at least several hundred thousand years ago.” Fang Ming said.

“It’s been lost for so long?” Han Li was stunned, and only then did he feel relieved.

He had previously thought it hadn't been lost for long, but now hearing the news, he finally felt much more at ease.

Han Li muttered in a low voice, “Then there’s no need to worry too much about this matter.”

Just at this moment, a ray of light flashed, and a golden jade bracelet appeared.

“Brother Han, this True Immortal’s jade bracelet and this Heaven Stealing Bottle are gifted to Brother Han.” Fang Ming’s voice sounded.

Fang Ming had already carefully examined this storage jade bracelet, and there were no overly important treasures within.

After casually browsing through it, he only left some immortal essence stones for research purposes.

To take first, one must give first. Give the Old Devil a little taste of sweetness first, so it will be easier to speak later.

Looking at the golden jade bracelet, Han Li immediately thanked him solemnly, “Thank you, Brother Teng.”

“No need to thank me, Brother Han. With our friendship, what is this?” Fang Ming said indifferently.

Then another ray of light flashed, and a light golden mirror appeared.

Afterward, Fang Ming continued, “That True Immortal still has some treasures, which I have sealed in this Cave Heaven spirit treasure. They are useless to me, so I will give them all to Brother Han.”

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s divine sense moved and entered the Cave Heaven.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Han Li’s expression changed slightly.

Within the Cave Heaven World, two vast, three-thousand-zhang tall, deep blue ice mountains stood, with dozens of smaller deep blue ice clusters suspended around them.

Han Li saw at a glance the seal that was like a blood-red diamond. That was precisely the treasure that the True Immortal had refined by sacrificing hundreds of millions of living beings before!

“There is even another strange creature, seemingly some kind of fire-attributed beast?” Looking at the other massive glacier, Han Li was surprised.

“Such a grand gift, the Immortal Vine Spirit must have quite a plan!” Withdrawing his divine sense, Han Li smiled bitterly in his heart.

Dozens of powerful spirit treasures, as well as that blood seal that surpassed ordinary Xuan Tian Treasures, and that fire-attributed sacred beast. With such a grand gift, Han Li didn't think it was given to him for free.

The Immortal Vine Spirit was extremely shrewd, and Han Li didn't think it would give him these things for free.

As the saying goes, 'take someone's hand and your hand becomes short, eat someone's mouth and your mouth becomes soft'. If he accepted, it would be difficult to refuse the Immortal Vine's request.

Han Li shook his head, revealing a bitter smile, and said, “Brother Teng, please speak frankly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to accept such a grand gift.”

“Hehe, Brother Han, relax. It won’t be anything too excessive, just a transaction.” A light chuckle came from within the Immortal Vine. Fang Ming laughed and said, “To be honest, I want to borrow Brother Han’s palm heaven bottle to study for a period of time, to see if I can break free from my own innate constraints.”

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s expression changed drastically, and he was about to refuse immediately.

The palm heaven bottle was extremely important to him, and it was impossible for him to lend it to outsiders, especially since this Immortal Vine was so powerful. He was afraid that once lent out, it would never return.

Before Han Li could speak, Fang Ming’s voice continued to sound. He said, “Brother Han, don’t worry. While I am borrowing the palm heaven bottle, the Bottle Spirit will naturally be handed over to Brother Han. After I study it for a period of time, the Bottle Spirit will naturally be Brother Han’s.”

Upon hearing this, Han Li frowned tightly, and the words he wanted to use to refuse were swallowed back.

The Bottle Spirit of the palm heaven bottle was undoubtedly very important. Only when the Bottle Spirit returned would the palm heaven bottle be truly complete and able to exert its true effect.

As a Dao Ancestor’s supreme treasure, Han Li believed that the effect of the palm heaven bottle was definitely not just ripening spirit herbs; it must have other powerful effects.

But he also worried that after the Immortal Vine obtained the body of the palm heaven bottle, it would immediately flee and disappear.

After all, even just the body itself had incredibly powerful effects, while the effect of the Bottle Spirit was unknown.

If the value of the Bottle Spirit was far less than that of the body, and the body was taken away, he would suffer a huge loss.

With his thoughts racing, Han Li said, “Brother Teng, why don’t you study that Bottle Spirit? The Bottle Spirit’s body must also contain boundless profound mysteries, right?”

“Brother Han, you don’t think the Bottle Spirit has a low level of intelligence, do you?” Fang Ming explained with a bitter smile, “That Bottle Spirit’s intelligence is no less than yours or mine. If I angered it and its divine abilities erupted, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it. How would I dare to probe it with my divine sense to study it?”

“Even Brother Teng is so wary?” Han Li was a little surprised.

“The palm heaven bottle is a heavy treasure in the hands of a Dao Ancestor, so being wary is normal.” Fang Ming said.

Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked worriedly, “Brother Teng, if the Bottle Spirit returns, it won’t spontaneously break through the void and return to the hands of the Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Realm, will it?”

“No, Brother Han, rest assured on this point. I have spoken with the Bottle Spirit, and it has no such intention at all. This is beyond doubt.” Fang Ming said very firmly.

This was a lie. Besides the first few words he exchanged with the Bottle Spirit, the Bottle Spirit completely ignored him afterward.

The reason he was so confident was the confidence given to him by having read the original plot.
