Nether Jade Bottle
The Nether Jade Bottle is a demon-made vessel carved from a complete piece of North Sea Nether Jade and refined by a demon Imperial Lord. Meng Chuan captures it among Fu Jiao's spoils, then exchanges it with Qin Wu for a Phoenix Feather. Its strategic value lies in continued production rather than the liquid already inside it.
History
War spoils become a long-term sect resource
Fu Jiao carries the bottle with the wealth used to entice powerful demon monarchs into the human world. After Meng Chuan kills him, the vessel passes into Meng Chuan's temporary possession with the rest of the storage bag. Qin Wu recognizes it while appraising those spoils and explains that the apparently ordinary bottle is worth far more than its three existing drops of green liquid because it can replenish its contents indefinitely. (Chapters 213 and 215–216)
Qin Wu offers a Phoenix Feather in exchange because the consumable feather can strengthen Liu Qiyue and her unborn children, while the bottle is more useful to a sect leader over a long period. Meng Chuan accepts immediately. Luo Tang later notes that the feather has greater nominal value, but Qin Wu keeps the bottle because repeated production better suits institutional needs. The source does not document a later transfer, expenditure, or destruction, leaving Qin Wu as its latest explicit custodian. (Chapter 216)
Abilities and properties
Jade-liquid condensation
The pitch-black vessel is carved from a whole piece of North Sea Nether Jade and refined by a demon Imperial Lord. It naturally absorbs Heaven and Earth powers and condenses one drop of jade liquid each month. This renewable function belongs to the bottle itself rather than the three drops found inside it, explaining why Qin Wu values an otherwise unremarkable-looking container as a long-term resource. (Chapter 216)
The supplied corpus does not explain the jade liquid's precise effects, who can consume it, or whether outside conditions change the condensation rate. It also does not show Qin Wu using a produced drop. The page therefore treats periodic generation as established while leaving medicinal, cultivation, and combat applications unknown rather than inferring them from the material's rarity. (Chapter 216)
Owners and wielders
| Holder | Capacity | Source-grounded relationship to the item |
|---|---|---|
| Fu Jiao | Prior possessor | The demon monarch carries the bottle among treasures supplied or accumulated before his death in the human world. Legal ownership within the Demon Realm is not clarified. (Chapters 213 and 215) |
| Meng Chuan | Captor and temporary possessor | He takes the bottle as war spoils and offers the appraised treasure to Qin Wu in exchange for a Phoenix Feather. (Chapters 213 and 215–216) |
| Qin Wu | Recipient and latest custodian | He identifies its renewable function, completes the exchange, and retains the bottle for its long-term usefulness. (Chapter 216) |
Relationships
- Meng Chuan: His capture turns a demon resource into the price of an immediate benefit for Liu Qiyue and their children.
- Qin Wu: He values renewable strategic use over nominal price and keeps the vessel rather than consuming or reselling it.
