I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Shen Ming carefully examined the Heavenly Bottle in the other person's mouth. It was porcelain white with a slender neck and strange spiritual patterns on its surface.

He's not the kind of person who believes everything others say.

When traveling, one develops their own understanding of the world.

Everything exists in a state of conservation and balance.

For example, to revive the Golden Peach Spirit Tree, one must use a treasure of even greater value than the spirit tree itself.

The initial investment is substantial, and profitability can only be achieved through gradual accumulation over time.

If someone randomly brings up an object and claims it can revive the Spirit Tree and disrupt the balance, it's probably a scam.

When Shen Ming first heard about the 'Heavenly Bottle', he thought it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was about to fall asleep.

Immediately afterward, he became wary. People who get scammed are like this; they only believe what they already believe.

"Does this thing really have the effects you described?" Shen Ming weighed the Palm Heaven Bottle in his hand, his face filled with skepticism.

Not so easily fooled; it turns out the honesty was just an act.

While thinking to herself, Su Yu'er said, "Our Su family rose to prominence by relying on the Palm Heaven Bottle. Unfortunately, the bottle was later broken, and we had to refine the fragments into replicas."

Distributed to the disciples of the clan, along with the "Moon Spirit Technique," they absorb the essence of moonlight every night to condense spiritual liquid.

The disciple who fills the Heavenly Bottle will receive a generous reward from the family.

Shen Ming pondered in silence. With so many harsh conditions added, everything made much more sense.

"This is essentially a token of your Su family, and you just gave it to me?" Shen Ming said.

Because you simply can't achieve anything from practicing it!

Su Yu'er said calmly, "Cultivating the Moon Spirit Technique is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in transforming moonlight into spiritual liquid, which requires one to possess the wood attribute."

"You don't have any?" Shen Ming asked.

"Yes."

"Then how do you know it will come in handy with me?"

"Yu'er doesn't know, but it would be best if it could help her senior brother. If not, it would still be a priceless treasure."

A clever lie is one that is half true and half false, leaving no room for criticism.

"How do I know if I have the wood element?" Shen Ming asked.

"Senior brother, hold the Heavenly Bottle in your palm and silently recite the incantation. If a green light appears on the bottle, it means it's feasible." Su Yu'er told him the incantation and mental technique.

The moonlight, like water, permeates the meridians; purple aura arrives from the east, gathering spiritual energy.

With all distracting thoughts eliminated, one can connect with the universe; with the attainment of mastery, one will shine with brilliance.

Shen Ming tossed the Heavenly Bottle over and said, "Demonstrate it once."

Su Yu'er's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. She took the Heavenly Bottle, placed it in her palm, and began to circulate the Moon Spirit Technique.

A faint green light immediately appeared on the bottle, almost invisible in broad daylight.

"This means my wood element is weak."

Su Yu'er returned the Heavenly Bottle.

Shen Ming decided to give it a try, and began to circulate the incantation. The next second, his pupils contracted.

The Heavenly Bottle shone brightly and was clearly visible during the day!

"Senior brother! Your Green Wood attribute is extraordinary, making you an excellent candidate to cultivate the Heavenly Palm Bottle!" Su Yu'er exclaimed repeatedly.

Shen Ming's lips curled up; after verifying the information several times, he believed what the other party said.

“Alright, I’ll pretend today’s events never happened. Go on,” Shen Ming said.

Su Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to fool them.

The Heavenly Bottle is fake!

The ancestors of the Su family had a wild idea: to refine the legendary Great Dao Treasure, which was the Heaven-Piercing Bottle she initially described.

As a result, despite the immense effort and hard work put into crafting the bottle, the Su family's efforts fell far short of expectations.

It cannot directly absorb moonlight to transform into spiritual liquid.

The "Moon Spirit Technique," created for this reason, was also inefficient.

The so-called wood attribute in the "Moon Spirit Technique" is something everyone possesses and does not affect the efficiency of converting spiritual liquid.

It would take anyone several years to transform moonlight into a spiritual liquid.

The transformed spiritual liquid does have the effect of reviving withered trees and accelerating growth.

Just one drop, and the effect is not as good as the time it takes for the plant to grow naturally.

Therefore, the Su family distributed the bottles to each disciple, accumulating them little by little.

The purpose of that story about the fragments of the Heavenly Bottle was to create hype.

One of its functions, as it is now, is to serve as a priceless treasure, offered as an apology.

So Su Yu'er wasn't lying; it really was the Heavenly Bottle, but it shared the same name as an ancient treasure.

The Su family has many such bottles; she can get another one when she goes back.

When Shen Ming finds that the amount of spiritual liquid converted is pitifully small, he will think that he has not cultivated the "Moon Spirit Technique" properly.

Just like the temples outside that claim that sincerity brings results.

If it doesn't work, it must be because you weren't sincere enough.

If there's no spiritual liquid, it must mean that the cultivation technique hasn't been practiced properly.

"Senior brother, then I shall take my leave."

As she left, she suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.

All the other men treated her like a princess, but Shen Ming was the only exception. He showed no mercy and was always ready to throw a punch when he wanted to, and he spoke domineeringly.

For some reason, it gave Su Yu'er a feeling she had never had before.

The spot where that heavy punch landed was still throbbing, but amidst the pain, there was a strange and wonderful feeling.

Su Yu'er boarded the flying boat and reluctantly left Xiaoyao Peak.

Shen Ming opened the Palm Heaven Bottle, and it was completely empty, without a trace of spiritual liquid.

"No wonder she handed me the bottle so readily; to her, it was just a piece of trash."

Shen Ming felt that everything made sense.

Su Yu'er doesn't have the Green Wood attribute, so her comprehension is definitely lacking, and she can't convert the spiritual liquid, which is why she gave away the Palm Heaven Bottle.

He's different. Just now, he silently recited the mantra, and green light emanated from him, indicating that he possesses a powerful Green Wood talent.

With the addition of the innate sacred body, the supreme Dao embryo, the ability to transform moonlight, and the condensation of spiritual liquid, it's practically a piece of cake.

With this in mind, Shen Ming waited until nightfall.

As if by divine intervention, the moon appeared as a giant disc in the night sky, its bright light illuminating the earth.

Shen Ming arrived at the summit of Xiaoyao Peak, held the Palm Heaven Bottle in his right hand, and began to circulate the Moon Spirit Technique.

In an instant, the moonlight bathed everything in a layer of silvery radiance, like a natural divine garment.

The moonlight transformed into cool sensations, coursing through my body and gathering in the bottle in my palm.

The exquisite palm-shaped piece, originally porcelain white, suddenly turned into a crystal-clear emerald green.

6.8 ticks!

In less than fifteen minutes, a drop of the elixir fell into the bottle.

Then, drop after drop, continuously.

If Su Yu'er were here, her jaw would drop.

In the Su family, a single drop of spiritual liquid represents years of hard work by a Su family disciple!

In less than an hour, Shen Ming surpassed the efforts of all the Su family disciples.

In the dead of night, Shen Ming opened his eyes, feeling somewhat dazed.

He is essentially a physical body converter, condensing spiritual liquid and consuming spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the harvest was plentiful, and the spiritual liquid in the Heavenly Bottle was almost overflowing.

Shen Ming arrived at the withered golden peach spirit tree. Because it was so easy to obtain, he didn't feel bad about using it.

He poured the entire bottle of elixir down in one go.

One second, two seconds... nothing happened.

Shen Ming was not anxious. Even the Jiang family's most precious treasure could not produce immediate results.

Life needs time to grow.

He returned to his cave and began meditating to replenish his depleted mental energy.
