Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Yes, within the fist-sized golden small cauldron, it was as if a sun was being nurtured.

Looking closely, one could clearly see that it was a drop of finger-sized golden liquid.

That golden liquid, at a glance, was something extraordinary!

Looking at the golden liquid, Han Li was momentarily stunned and muttered, "Does this Mystic Heaven Immortal Vine still have such an ability?"

He racked his brain recalling records about the Mystic Heaven Immortal Vine, but no matter how he recalled, there were no related records.

Although he didn't know how many types of Mystic Heaven Immortal Vine existed, he was certain that no Immortal Vine fruit could possess this ability!

Han Li pondered in his heart, "Could it be that the green liquid from the Little Green Bottle caused the Immortal Vine to undergo a mutation? Or is this being led by the Immortal Vine Spirit?"

Although the Immortal Vine developing sentience in recent years was just a guess, and he hadn't caught any trace of the Immortal Vine's consciousness, Han Li was increasingly certain in his heart that the Immortal Vine had already developed sentience.

"What effect does the spiritual liquid nurtured in this small cauldron have?" Han Li looked at the spiritual liquid in the cauldron, emitting golden radiance like a small sun, and began to ponder.

Taking out a jade bottle and placing it at the mouth of the cauldron, Han Li flicked a finger against the cauldron wall.

Immediately after, a small golden sun fell from the small cauldron, dropping straight into the jade bottle.

After falling into the jade bottle, the golden radiance dissipated, all fragrance was contained, leaving only a drop of finger-sized, round golden liquid lying quietly at the bottom of the jade bottle.

As the golden light disappeared, Han Li's expression immediately changed. He sensed a surge of spiritual energy in the golden liquid within the jade bottle that was even purer and more vast than top-grade spirit stones!

The spiritual energy in top-grade spirit stones was already extremely pure and vast, having a considerable effect on breaking through to the Transformation Spirit realm.

Yet, the spiritual energy in this drop of spiritual liquid was even purer than top-grade spirit stones. How could this not shock Han Li!

"This drop of spiritual liquid will most likely increase cultivation!" Han Li's heart stirred, and with a 'swish', he disappeared from the Medicine Garden.

With such a significant event concerning the Immortal Vine, he needed to immediately use a Wanli Talisman to contact his main body and inform him of this news.

Somewhere in the Five Dragon Sea.

Han Li looked at the vast grey light mass in front of him with a gloomy expression, feeling very unhappy.

The cultivators guarding this place told him that this spatial node was already unstable, with tremors often emanating from it, and at the latest, it would be inaccessible within a hundred years.

This meant he had to make a decision within a hundred years.

Should he remain in the Human Realm and cultivate until the Transformation Spirit consummation, then normally ascend to the Spirit Realm; or make some preparations and smuggle himself into the Spirit Realm through this spatial node?

Such spatial nodes were extremely rare, and it was only by chance that Xiang Zhili and others searched for a long time and discovered such a node.

If he remained in the Human Realm, he might not be able to find such a spatial node in the future.

For a moment, Han Li was incredibly conflicted.

Suddenly, Han Li's brow furrowed, he waved his sleeve, and a palm-sized crystalline jade talisman appeared in his hand.

Looking at the text appearing on the jade talisman, Han Li's expression slightly changed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately transformed into a streak of green light, shot into the sky, and disappeared.

More than ten days later, Han Li returned to the inner valley deep within the Fallen Devil Valley, bringing with him a demon beast he had captured along the way.

He immediately found his Second Nascent Soul.

"Such pure, such vast spiritual energy." After sensing it briefly, Han Li sighed, "Even top-grade spirit stones are far inferior!"

Carefully taking out an insignificant speck of the golden liquid, he fed it to the level five demon beast he had captured.

Clear radiance flowed in Han Li's eyes as he stared unblinkingly at the level five demon beast that had consumed the spiritual liquid.

Looking at the demon beast whose aura had become denser, Han Li nodded, "It truly is spiritual liquid that can increase cultivation!"

After confining the demon beast, Han Li observed it for a full half month and confirmed there were no abnormalities.

Only after using various methods to test it and finding no abnormalities did he carefully divide the golden spiritual liquid, take out a piece the size of a soybean, and consume it.

Instantly, a surge of extremely pure spiritual energy, carrying immense vitality, spread within his dantian and flowed along the meridians towards his limbs and bones.

Feeling the spiritual energy spreading throughout his body, Han Li's expression slightly changed, and he quickly circulated his cultivation technique to refine this surge of spiritual energy.

After a good while, Han Li exhaled a long breath of white air, a look of joy appearing on his face, and he murmured, "Just a piece the size of a soybean saved me several months of arduous cultivation. If it were a complete drop, it would probably be equivalent to twenty years of arduous cultivation!"

His Second Nascent Soul said with a smile, "In that case, there's no need to smuggle oneself into the Spirit Realm through a spatial node anymore!"

Han Li nodded and said, "If this spiritual liquid can assist me for a long time, coupled with the dense spiritual energy here, I naturally don't need to smuggle myself into the Spirit Realm!"

In the past few days, after observation, Han Li learned that the golden spiritual liquid had begun to condense again in the golden small cauldron.

Although the speed was slow, there was no doubt that this was a supreme spiritual medicine that could be continuously obtained!

At this moment, Han Li's Second Nascent Soul said with some concern, "Is the generation of this spiritual liquid controlled by that Immortal Vine?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's brow furrowed. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Immortal Vines developing sentience is too rare, practically unheard of. The key to it is likely only known by the Immortal Vine Spirit."

Changing the subject, he said, "But I think this spiritual liquid is most likely controlled by the Immortal Vine Spirit!"

"Then what should we do?" his Second Nascent Soul asked.

Han Li's eyes slightly narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I've decided to have a talk with that Immortal Vine. This spiritual liquid is extremely important to me!"

The Second Nascent Soul said in surprise, "Are you confident? What if it pretends to be dead and doesn't come out?"

Although he was essentially Han Li, there were still differences in their way of thinking.

Han Li revealed a confident smile and said, "I've probably guessed why it would let this spiritual liquid appear at this time!"

He recalled that previously, while observing the xuan tian fruit, when he received the news about the Five Dragon Sea spatial node being unstable, in a moment of shock, he blurted out this news.

In the past few years, he and his Second Nascent Soul had also discussed the Five Dragon Sea spatial node and the matter of smuggling into the Spirit Realm in the Medicine Garden.

Without waiting for his Second Nascent Soul to ask, Han Li disappeared with a 'swish'.

After a few breaths, he appeared in the Medicine Garden where the Immortal Vine grew.

Approaching the roots of the Immortal Vine, Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the resplendently golden Immortal Vine, and spoke, "Immortal Vine Spirit! Come out, how much longer do you plan to hide?"

"More than a hundred years ago, I already knew about you secretly peeking at my cultivation technique!" Han Li said calmly.

Within the Immortal Vine's inner world, Fang Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with astonishment.

"Old Devil actually discovered my existence!?" Fang Ming was startled in his heart, a flash of inspiration passed through his mind, and he thought to himself, "The cultivation technique jade slips he left behind have a hidden trick!"

In an instant, Fang Ming was ready to act at any time!

A gentle breeze swept past, and the golden leaves of the Immortal Vine rustled, golden radiance diffused.

"There's no need to pretend anymore, I already discovered your existence long ago!" Han Li's eyes slightly narrowed, and he said coldly, "You are very intelligent, you must know what the consequences will be if you continue to hide!"

Within the Immortal Vine's inner world, Fang Ming's emotions surged, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

He even wanted to suddenly erupt and kill Han Laomo here.

But after thinking for a while, he still gave up.

Given Old Devil's cautious nature, one who retreats behind others at the slightest provocation, knowing that his Immortal Vine body was so sturdy, it was impossible that he wouldn't be on guard against him.

If he acted then and failed, he would instead be in great peril!
