Han Li immediately downloaded both.
Then he paused.
Zhu Chen and Wang Lin had been generous....but what could he offer in return?
The Azure Origin Sword Art was incomplete.
The Great Evolution Technique? Compared to Extreme Divine Sense, it felt lacking.
After a moment's thought, Han Li made a decision.
[Han Li]: Fellow Daoists, Senior Wang Lin and I share the cultivation path.
I won't embarrass myself by displaying techniques.]
[Han Li]: However, I have an item that may help everyone.]
[Notice: Han Li has uploaded an item — Palm Heaven Bottle Green Liquid (4 vials).]
[Han Li]: This liquid condenses from moon essence absorbed by the Palm Heaven Bottle.
It accelerates the growth of spiritual herbs, aids pill refinement, and possesses strong restorative effects—even for severe injuries.]
[Han Li]: Direct consumption is dangerous. Dilution is recommended.]
[Xiao Yan]: This can be used in alchemy?]
[Lin Dong]: It can even heal injuries? That's incredibly useful!]
Each of them received a vial—Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Zhu Chen, and Wang Lin.
Then Xiao Yan noticed something.
[Xiao Yan]: Brother Han, there are seven of us. Why only four vials?]
[Han Li]: Apologies. The conditions to collect this liquid are extremely demanding. I only have four at present.]
After sending the message, Han Li glanced at the many small bottles lined up on the stone table in his cave.
He wasn't stingy.
He simply chose carefully.
Such rich Yuan Power... Everything these people share is incredible."
Lin Dong carefully uncorked the vial of green liquid and took a tentative sniff.
A rush of invigorating energy immediately flooded his senses, leaving him feeling refreshed and alert.
Though the vial contained only a modest amount, the Yuan Power within was extraordinarily pure and dense.
Just inhaling its fragrance through the opening was enough to make him feel as though a breakthrough was imminent.
At that moment, a familiar, languid voice emerged from the stone talisman.
"You mentioned that the spiritual liquid from that fellow was brimming with spiritual energy, yet it turned into Yuan Power the moment it reached you.
Looks like our earlier suspicion was spot-on. We all inhabit different worlds. Items crossing over adapt to the recipient's realm, transforming into something more compatible."
The voice belonged to the Celestial Demon Marten, whom Lin Dong had awakened ahead of schedule.
Lin Dong's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Isn't that even better?"
"Better, my foot!" the marten snapped. "If our world plane ranks higher than theirs, then yes....it's a windfall. But if ours is lower?
Everything we receive gets downgraded. Got it?"
Lin Dong shrugged nonchalantly. "Whatever. As long as I can use it, I'm happy."
With his straightforward mindset—and limited book learning—he wasn't one to overcomplicate things.
What truly bothered him now was how to reciprocate the generosity of his new group friends.
He'd accepted so many valuable gifts from Zhu Chen and the others. It wouldn't feel right to keep taking without giving something in return.
"Grandpa Marten, come on—you've got to have something good stashed away.
These guys I've just met are insanely generous.
They've given me so much; if I don't pay them back somehow, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace."
Lin Dong tucked away the green liquid from the Palm Heaven Vial, thought for a moment, and finally pinned his hopes on the marten.
After all, he was merely a fledgling in the Body Tempering realm, freshly departed from his clan. He possessed nothing worthy of sharing.
His only option was the Celestial Demon Marten sealed within the talisman.
"I've got a few things tucked away," the marten admitted, "but I strongly suggest you keep them hidden."
"Why?" Lin Dong asked, genuinely confused.
"No reason you'd want to hear. You'd be too embarrassed to offer them—and I'd be embarrassed on your behalf."
Only then did the realization hit Lin Dong.
His world plane truly was low-tier. Nothing he owned would impress anyone.
He sighed in resignation and moved to stow the talisman.
But in that instant, inspiration struck. His body stiffened, his gaze riveting on the talisman itself.
"I've got it..."
[Lin Dong: Everyone, my strength is still limited, so I don't have any impressive treasures to share just yet.
But I do have this stone talisman—if any of you need it, I'm happy to lend it out.]
[Lin Dong: It assists cultivation, purifies medicinal ingredients, perfects incomplete techniques, harmonizes mental and Yuan Power, and can even refine pills on its own.
It's a genuine all-purpose cultivation artifact. I'm sure it could help some of you.]
