Chapter 875
Upon arriving in the mortal realm of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," what is the most important thing? Naturally, it's to meet Old Demon Han.
The eldest brother naturally had to meet this person he knew so well. After parting ways with his sister, the first thing he did was to go to the Seven Mysteries Sect to meet this future Heavenly Venerable Han.
.
However, this Han Tianzun is currently just a beginner, a young fellow cultivating immortal techniques. Fortunately, he has already obtained the little green bottle. The boss could only sigh; he hadn't expected to arrive too late, and the little guy had already gotten it. Originally, the boss had intended to take the little green bottle, even though it wasn't particularly useful to him. Taking it wouldn't be a problem; it was a treasure, and the most powerful one in the world. To miss such a treasure would be a betrayal of his foresight, so naturally, he couldn't let it slip by. But now that it already belonged to someone, he couldn't try to steal it. Although he had done this kind of thing before, Han Li was ultimately related to him, and under these circumstances, he couldn't just make a move. So, he decided to meet the little guy.
Then, when Han Li looked at the man in front of him who was more handsome, taller, and had a better temperament than him, and was obviously no ordinary man, his face became very tense and worried, filled with fear.
"Little one, don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm here mainly to chat with you. I want to tell you something that's very important to you, something that concerns your life and death. If you know about it beforehand, you might be able to avoid future troubles and prepare in advance. Your master, that old man, is going to make a move against you and your senior brother very soon. I'm not saying 'very soon,' it'll be several years, but for me it's fast, but for you it's a very long time. So you should prepare well. Now, I'll give you a few medicinal formulas. You need to plant the medicinal herbs in the places I tell you to, and then refine the pills according to the methods I teach you. Of course, you can refine the pills in a different way, but you'd better think it through, because if there's a mistake, your life will be in danger. I can guarantee you that. Even the slightest mistake will cost you your life. As for how to refine the pills, you'll have to listen to me obediently from now on."
"Remember, there can be no mistakes, absolutely no mistakes whatsoever. If there is even the slightest mistake, your life will be in danger. Did you find a small bottle? This small bottle is dark green and has strange patterns. This small bottle can be said to be the most precious treasure in the world."
The eldest brother, looking every bit the conman, was still being listened to intently by Han Li. After all, his life was at stake. Whether the eldest brother was a conman or not, he had to hear the whole story before he could judge. The eldest brother then explained the matter of the little green bottle, without clarifying its origin. He only said it was a treasure, its function being to accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs, so it absolutely could not be given to anyone, not even his master. In short, everything had to be done with utmost caution. Han Li's real task was to refine the pills the eldest brother described, thus accelerating his cultivation. Of course, the most important thing was to help the eldest brother cultivate some medicinal herbs. These herbs had to be incredibly old, at least a thousand years old, to be of any use to the eldest brother. This was one of the main reasons the eldest brother had sought out Han Li. Besides this reason, there was no better one; it was the most suitable.
"You must hear everything I'm about to say perfectly clearly, without missing a single detail. Otherwise, your life will truly be in danger. This is a fact, remember it clearly, and absolutely do not overlook anything."
"If you don't listen, your life will truly be in danger. In this situation, I hope you remember clearly, don't think I'm lying to you. I don't have the time or inclination to lie to you; it wouldn't benefit me at all. So I don't bother deceiving you. It has nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing. I have no reason to lie to you. Such a little guy is meaningless and useless to me. I'm only here hoping you can help me with these things. If you do them well, I can guarantee you'll receive plenty of benefits. In the future, you might even be able to achieve immortality. If you don't do them well, then don't blame me for being impolite. Don't blame me for dealing with you."
"I'm not a good person, and I need to make that clear to you. Don't think I'm a good person; I've never been a good person. Remember that. I'm a bad person, an absolute bad person, someone who could easily kill you with a single slap. Remember, I have the power and the ability to do so. Don't have any good intentions towards me, and don't think I'm a good person. That's impossible. I've never been a good person. Do you understand? From now on, you just need to do as I say. Don't think I'm deceiving you, don't think I'm trying to trick you. That's impossible. You just need to be obedient. What's the use of the rest? It's completely useless, utterly meaningless."
"You just need to be obedient and listen to me. The rest is none of your business. That's my business. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to meddle."
"What you need to do is to listen to me obediently and not think about those bad things. Since they are all bad things, what good will they do for you? You could say they will do you absolutely nothing. Your master will have to rely on his own abilities and won't help you. But I will ask for compensation. I will ask for benefits."
"You need to understand this. You need to know I'm not a good person. I definitely want something in return. That's a given. No one can bargain with me, no one can bargain with me. Just remember that. The rest is unnecessary. Because this doesn't belong to you; it belongs to me alone. Sigh, to be honest, I really didn't want to come here to find you, but I had no choice. You're still somewhat useful to me, and it's precisely because of that usefulness that I had to come to you. If I didn't come, what else could I do? You have no choice but to come to me." Right? I'm wrong. You and I are both normal people. Since we're normal, we should do normal things and not think about bad things. Those bad things aren't good for us. If they were good, it would only mean we're about to be deceived. Really, we're about to be completely deceived, and there's nothing we can do about it. I hope you understand, and I hope you can comprehend all of this. If you still don't understand, then it only means one thing: we've all been deceived. I've been deceived, you've been deceived, and everyone is a lie within a lie.
Han Li was completely bewildered by his boss's words.
Although completely confused, Han Li wasn't stupid. He naturally knew why his boss was saying all this—it was just to deceive him, but it didn't feel like it was a lie. "What's your problem? Just tell me?"
"What purpose could I possibly have? I just want you to get used to it, to do everything I say properly, and to ignore everything else. It has no meaning or value for you. That's all I wanted to say. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. I've already made myself perfectly clear, but you just won't believe me. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to say? I certainly can't say it, and I can't do it, right? I simply can't think about these things, and I can't do them. What do these things have to do with me? They have absolutely nothing to do with me. If they had even the slightest connection to me, things wouldn't be like this. Don't you agree? Isn't that the truth?"
"What I'm saying is truly for your own good, and also for my own. You need to understand this principle. If you don't understand it, then go ask someone else. Just don't come looking for me or bother me. Sigh, to be honest, I really don't want to come, but I have no choice. If you have something I need, it's impossible for me not to come. It's absolutely impossible, there's not even the slightest possibility."
"I need your strength to become stronger and more powerful. That's why I came here. That's why I came to find you. Do you understand? You must understand all of this. If you don't understand all of this, then everything I did before will have been in vain, and you wouldn't have been chosen by your master."
The eldest brother is very familiar with the original plot, and he is confident in this. He believes that Han Li can definitely do it. Han Li could do it even without his help, so it is even more likely now.
The boss has complete confidence in Han Li, and is absolutely certain that no mistakes will be made. He is very confident in this regard.
"Why should I believe anything you say? Why should I believe you? None of what you say is believable. If everything you say is true, why don't you take that little green bottle from me?"
Han Li took a deep breath and voiced his biggest question: why his boss didn't kill anyone to steal the treasure. This was giving his boss a headache because he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time. This matter needed to be explained, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble later.
Explaining it clearly is a very troublesome thing in itself. Even the boss can't do it. In this situation, the boss has no choice but to scratch his head. He really has no choice at all, because he doesn't know how to explain it. To explain it clearly would take more than one or two sentences, or even three or four sentences, but many sentences.
"This matter is very complicated, and it's difficult for me to explain it to you in a short time. But you have to believe one thing: the reason for this is very complex and cannot be explained in a sentence or two. You just need to know this. Once you know this, the rest will be easy. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. I really can't do anything about it. Do whatever you want. Anyway, it doesn't mean anything to me. Do whatever you want, and I won't interfere."
"In short, as long as you do as I say, there will be absolutely no problems. If you don't do as I say, it's no different from death. You need to understand this clearly. This is something you absolutely must know; you must understand these things. If you don't understand these things, then you're not far from death. This isn't a joke; I'm telling you a fact, explaining a principle, and presenting you with a harsh reality. This is something you must understand and be clear about. If you don't understand, then you're not far from death. This is the second time I'm reminding you. I hope you understand. As for whether you understand or not, that's up to you." It's your problem now, but I believe you'll understand what I'm saying. Because you have the intelligence, the ability, and the skill. I believe you can do it, you're capable of it, and you have the right to do it. Really, you were born for this; you're a truly ruthless and domineering person. I believe you can do it, and I hope you won't let me down. Please don't let me down. If you do, the consequences will be unimaginable. You should understand this very well. You absolutely must understand this; if you don't, it's simply unacceptable. The consequences will be too severe. So you must understand these things, understand? You must know these things.”
"It would be terrible if you didn't know." (End of Chapter)
