Zhang Ze glanced at the little green bottle and saw its properties.
[Zhang Tian Bottle (Han Li)]

Special effects:? ? ?

…
"It's actually bound, and the attributes are all question marks?" Zhang Ze was surprised.
Li Xun and others took the small green bottles and tried them one by one, but no one could open them.
Han Li had the highest hope for Zhang Ze, because he was in the best health of all, but Zhang Ze was also powerless.
"The stopper of this bottle is too tight." Zhang Bufan looked at the small green bottle and suggested, "How about smashing it to see what's inside?"
"No!" Han Li grabbed it and held it in his arms like a treasure, saying, "This small bottle is very valuable at first glance. It is probably an antique. It will lose value if it is smashed."
Li Xun looked like he had seen the world, shook his head and said: "I think this bottle is very ordinary, not like an antique, but since Brother Han likes it, keep it well."
The four of them chatted for a while, then saw that it was getting late, so they took a rest.
Although he could sleep and rest in the Demon Realm, Zhang Ze didn't want to waste time. He planned to go to Huangliang Dreamland to continue improving his compatibility.
"Oh, I forgot, the crystal ball is still in the system backpack..." Zhang Ze remembered this and felt helpless: "It seems that I can only sleep."
At this moment, Han Li suddenly called his name in a low voice: "Lao Luo, are you sleeping?"
The two became so familiar that Han Li privately called Zhang Ze Lao Luo, while Zhang Ze called him Lao Han.
"You didn't sleep, what's the matter, Old Han?"
Zhang Ze turned to look at Han Li, and his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw that the small green bottle in Han Li's hand was wrapped in a faint light. What was even weirder was that the moonlight scattered around was absorbed by it.
"What is going on?" Zhang Ze looked surprised, and Han Li shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
"Don't wake them up, let's go out and talk."
The two put on their clothes and walked out of the wooden house. The full moon hung high outside, and the small green bottle absorbed more moonlight. The bottle felt slightly warm to the touch, and they didn't know why.
Han Li shook the bottle and said in surprise: "I feel like there is something in it. Is it water?"
After saying that, he tried to open the cork again, and this time it was easily opened.
Han Li and Zhang Ze looked at each other with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.
"It doesn't seem to be water inside..." Han Li looked into the mouth of the bottle and said, "It's a kind of green liquid, with only a small drop, and it doesn't smell like anything. What on earth is this?"
Zhang Ze thought for a while and said: "Old Han, no matter what it is, I think it will be of great help to you. You should keep it well."
"Yes, I understand." Han Li put the small green bottle away, and the two returned to the cabin to continue resting.
They still remembered Manager Li’s reminder not to be late for work the next day, otherwise they would be punished.
This kind of day has passed for more than half a year. Although it feels like a long time has passed, in fact, it has only been more than twenty hours in the real world.
The foursome in the wooden house have completely adapted to the life here, but everyone is a little anxious because the sect only lets them work and never teaches them the method of cultivation. They are simply used like servants.
In the team channel, Little Princess Qian and Xiaoniao Yiren complained every day, saying that they could not learn the method of cultivation and were still ordinary people. When would they be able to overcome the calamity and ascend to the heavens?
Yiye Zhiqiu and the giant god had no choice but to persuade them, telling them that this level of the demonic realm was special and they should be patient.
Although Sky Melancholy, Moonlight Bunny and others did not complain so much, they also felt that this was a waste of life.
But what is surprising is that the Dragon King, who has always been impatient, turned out to be very calm this time, and rarely even spoke on the channel, which made the little princess Qian nervous. She was worried that the Dragon King chanted sutras every day, and under the influence, he would become a monk in the future. , what should she do?
When she was worried, she sent private messages to the irritable Dragon King every day, begging the Dragon King to chat with her.
Among all the people, Liu Yueying had the best luck. She was spotted by the head of the Jade Girl Palace and said she had great potential, so she was accepted as a closed disciple. According to her, she had already started practicing.
Everyone was envious, especially Xiaoniao Yiren. She was still an outer disciple, working all day long, and was extremely depressed.
In the same sect, the treatment is very different.
Zhang Ze also felt that this was not the way to go, so he teamed up with Han Li, Zhang Bufan and Li Xun to go to Manager Li to ask when he could practice the exercises, but he was kicked out with a scolding.
"It seems that we have been outer disciples for the rest of our lives and there is no hope of cultivating immortals." Han Li looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zhang Bufan had a calm mind and said, "I'm homeless anyway. It's not bad that I don't have to worry about food and clothing here."
Li Xun lowered his head and said nothing, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment and said: "I met a friend in the animal pen. I will ask her tomorrow to see if I can get the cultivation technique."
Han Li was immediately overjoyed: "Lao Luo, do you still know this kind of friend? Are you an inner disciple?"
"probably."
Bansheng Meng has never mentioned her identity to Zhang Ze, but judging from the people in the animal pen who treat her with respect, her status should be high.
The next day, Zhang Ze came to the animal pen, found Bansheng Meng, and expressed his request.
"Do you want to practice the exercises?" After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and said: "I can give you a copy of the exercises for the inner disciples of the Xuantian Sect, but you must remember to keep it secret and don't let others see it, otherwise you will be in trouble. .”
Learn the exercises secretly, destroy your meridians, break your legs, and be expelled from the sect!
This is the first rule of the Xuantian Sect, and it sounds terrifying.
"Don't worry." Zhang Ze promised, except for the three people in the wooden house, he would tell no one.
Because he has a hunch that these three will become big bosses in the future. If they build a good relationship now, they will not suffer in the future.
Soon, Bansheng Meng gave Zhang Ze a practice book called [Xuantian Essence].
【Xuantian Essence】
Quality: B
Special effect: Master [Xuantian Heart Technique].
Durability: Unlimited.
…
"Remember to return it to me after you learn it." After a few words of explanation, Bansheng Meng went about his own business.
After a busy day, returning to the cabin at night, Zhang Ze took out the [Xuantian Essence] and showed it to Han Li and Zhang Bufan.
"Lao Luo, you are amazing. You have really mastered the cultivation technique!" Han Li's eyes gleamed. He had always dreamed of becoming an immortal, but he had no way. Now he finally had a chance.
Zhang Bufan thanked Zhang Ze honestly: "Brother Luo, thank you!"
Zhang Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all friends, so thank you."
Li Xun, however, was skeptical: "Brother Luo, is your friend reliable? You know, it is a serious crime to secretly learn Kung Fu. Could he have given you a fake Kung Fu book?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely not the case." Zhang Ze shook his head. He had already learned the "Xuantian Mind Technique" through the "Xuantian Essence", and it absolutely couldn't be fake.
Han Li flipped through the [Essence of Xuantian]. He was born in a poor family and had just learned how to read with Doctor Mo. There were many things he couldn't understand, so he asked Li Xun next to him, and Zhang Bufan also leaned over to listen.
Li Xun told the story once. Both Han Li and Zhang Bufan were smart people. They quickly understood the meaning and sat cross-legged on the bed to start practicing.
Li Xun still doubted the authenticity of the technique, so he didn't practice it, and Zhang Ze didn't force it. Anyway, he had done his best to benevolent and righteous.
"Cultivating [Xuantian Heart Technique]... 0.1%."
Zhang Ze closed his eyes and meditated, staring at the calculation time prompted in his mind. As a result, he found that the progress of cultivation was extremely slow.
"Three hours have passed, only 0.3%? An increase of 0.1% in one hour? This speed is incredible!"
Zhang Ze shook his head speechlessly and said to himself: "It seems that just relying on self-cultivation alone will not reach the stage of overcoming the tribulation in hundreds of years. You will have to rely on external help."
He remembered that Yiye Zhiqiu once said that the level of cultivation can be improved by taking pills.
And the elixir requires money to buy. He is now penniless, so there is no need to consider this path for the time being.
"By the way, isn't Old Han working in the medicine garden? Can he get some pills?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Ze opened his eyes and saw that Han Li was still practicing. After thinking about it, he decided to mention it to Han Li when he went to work tomorrow. Han Li would definitely not refuse.
After practicing like this all night, the progress of Zhang Ze's [Xuantian Heart Technique] only reached 0.9%.
"Elixir?"
Han Li was stunned after hearing Zhang Ze's words and said: "The medicine garden is full of herbs and cannot be eaten. There are pills in Doctor Mo's house, but I don't know which ones can help with cultivation. What if I take the wrong ones?" medicine……"
"Then forget it." Zhang Ze had no choice but to give up this idea. You can eat food randomly, but not medicine, it will kill you!
A few days later, on this day, Zhang Ze was sent by Banshengmeng to chop bamboo in the bamboo forest and prepare food for Pangpang.
He walked into the bamboo forest with a machete. As soon as he chopped a few bamboos, he heard a conversation between two people not far away.
"Bufan, as long as you cut off this black jade bamboo, I will let my father accept you as an inner disciple!"
The speaker was a girl, probably young, with a clear and pleasant voice.
"Senior Sister Ling, is what you said true?"
Zhang Ze recognized this voice and it was none other than Zhang Bufan.
"I, Tian Lingling, keep my word and never lie!" the girl said swornly: "There are not many honest and honest people like you nowadays. My father will definitely like you."
Zhang Ze walked over quietly and saw Zhang Bufan standing next to a thigh-thick black bamboo, talking to a girl in red.
The girl has a pretty face, with two cute dimples when she smiles, and a red ribbon is wrapped around her arm, automatically.
"Okay, I will work hard!" Zhang Bufan nodded vigorously.
Tian Lingling nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll go back first and wait for your good news!" After that, she drifted away.
Zhang Bufan stood there, looking at the red figure retreating in the distance, his expression was crazy.
"Ahem."
Zhang Ze coughed twice, walked out from the side, and asked deliberately: "Bufan, shouldn't you be working in the kitchen? What are you doing here?"
Only then did Zhang Bufan wake up. He was not good at lying, but he did not dare to tell the truth to Zhang Ze, so he blushed and hesitated: "I...I..."
"Haha, don't be nervous." Zhang Ze patted Zhang Bufan on the shoulder and said, "They are all men, I understand!"
"Do you understand?" Zhang Bufan was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Brother Luo, do you have someone you like?"
Zhang Ze sat on a stone and nodded: "Of course she is, but I don't know where she is."
Liu Yueying's stunning appearance appeared in his mind, and the corners of Zhang Ze's mouth curled up slightly.
Zhang Bufan misunderstood Zhang Ze's words and thought that Zhang Ze, like him, had unrequited love.
He sat next to Zhang Ze and said with anguish, "I like someone, but I don't dare to let her know because I'm not good enough for her..."
"Brother!" Zhang Ze lightly hit Zhang Bufan's chest with his fist and encouraged, "Don't look down on yourself!"
"Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi, who knows what the future will be like?"
"Even if you are not worthy of her now, you might surpass her in the future, so believe in yourself!"
Inspired by Zhang Ze, Zhang Bufan felt that his heart suddenly became clear as if the clouds were clearing.
"Yes! Brother Luo, you are right!" Zhang Bufan bit the corner of his lip and nodded: "I will work hard to become stronger! Make myself worthy of her!"
After saying that, he stood up, clenched the hatchet in his hand, and chopped hard at the black jade bamboo.
Seeing Zhang Bufan's energetic look, Zhang Ze smiled inwardly and turned around to go about his own business.
At night, everyone came back to the cabin to rest. Li Xun was the last one to come back. When he saw Zhang Ze, he stepped forward and apologized.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ze was a little surprised.
Li Xun said sincerely: "Brother Luo, the [Xuantian Essence] you brought is indeed a real cultivation method. I misunderstood you and your friends before, I'm sorry!"
"I have long said that the cultivation method is real." Zhang Ze said with a smile: "But you just don't believe it."
"Li Xun, why are you sure the technique is real this time?" Han Li interjected and asked.
Li Xun was silent for a moment, then he closed the door and whispered: "Because I took a peek at the inner disciples' cultivation techniques, and they are exactly the same as those in the book that Brother Luo brought."
"Ah, you stole..." As soon as Zhang Bufan spoke, Zhang Ze covered his mouth.
Han Li looked nervous: "Li Xun, are you not afraid of being caught for stealing? You will be punished if you break the rules!"
Li Xun curled his lips and said solemnly: "I don't want to be a coolie all my life!"
"Li Xun, don't steal things next time. It's very dangerous." Zhang Ze reminded solemnly. Li Xun was silent for a while before slowly nodding.
After spending this time together, Zhang Ze could see that Li Xun was always worried, and he never told others what was on his mind. He seemed to be wary of something and was very wary.
In comparison, Han Li and Zhang Bufan are much simpler. They often talk to Zhang Ze and have deep feelings for each other.
After confirming that the practice method was real, Li Xun also started practicing. Although he was the last one to start practicing, he was faster than everyone else, which surprised Zhang Ze and Han Li.
At night, everyone was resting, but Zhang Ze was still practicing. He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Li Xun tiptoeing out of the wooden house.
"What is he going to do so late?" Zhang Ze frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he ended his practice, got up and followed quietly.
