True Man Lin Lie, I Want to Teach You to Brew Wine
After traveling for two days and two nights, Su Zhan finally arrived at the legendary place where the True Man Lin Lie was said to reside.
Upon reaching his destination, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was utterly disheveled, his face covered in mud, and his hair looked as if it had been dyed and permed with negative ions.
He was very unlucky; the day before yesterday, he encountered an extremely powerful energy storm on the road. While wandering alone in the storm, he was accidentally blown onto a Planet, crashed heavily, and thrown into a rather large lake, creating a splash dozens of meters high.
He was completely soaked to the bone.
After finally managing to clean myself up and start afresh, I encountered another Electronic Storm.
Then, as if Electronic Storm had been stirred up, wave after wave, back and forth, stirring it up like a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.
He was like a grain of rice in the lake, swaying back and forth. Although he didn't fall into the lake again, he wasn't much better off, being tossed around and occasionally hit by debris carried by the particle storm.
This is incredibly unlucky!
Fortunately, perseverance pays off, and he finally made it.
This place doesn't seem as magical as the legends say; it's incredibly remote, and the surrounding Planet are all Desolate Star.
If the system navigation hadn't been so accurate and knowledgeable, I don't know how much longer I would have been wandering around.
This Planet wasn't much better than the other few Desolate Star; it was overgrown with weeds, making him doubt the authenticity of the Thousand Year Drunk.
Could this just be a story made up by a few people who had nothing better to do?
He was walking casually through the weeds when White Dragon spoke in the Chat Group.
White Dragon: Be careful, I seem to sense a Devil Qi here, faintly visible.
Sun: I also felt a strange power, but I was confused and couldn't figure out what it was.
These words made Su Zhan retract his foot, which was about to casually step on the weeds.
The system's navigation should be correct; this must be the place where True Man Lin Lie lives.
So it's unreasonable that this place is so desolate. And why was I so unlucky to come here, encountering so many Electronic Storm on the way?
While this kind of thing isn't rare in the universe, it shouldn't happen so frequently either. Luckily, several of them collided, and each one was incredibly powerful.
That's the right way to think about it. The Electronic Storm must be a precaution taken by True Man Lin Lie to make it difficult for outsiders to enter this place.
If he weren't quite capable and hadn't been so determined, he really wouldn't have made it this far.
He became increasingly cautious, making sure there were no traps under his feet before each step. He also released his Divine Sense to scan his surroundings, ensuring he could see in every direction and avoid being ambushed.
Despite such precautions, a commotion still arose when someone stepped on a spot, followed by a surge of Spirit Energy.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself locked in the center of a cage. He blinked, not understanding how this thing had appeared.
He had been perfectly prepared, but the cage seemed to appear out of nowhere. Without hesitation, he gathered his strength and slashed at it.
The powerful attack landed, but the cage in front of him remained undamaged. Instead, the force of the impact caused him to wince and hiss in pain.
What kind of old monster is hiding here?!
Does he really think he's some kind of reclusive master?
If he's going to live in seclusion, why set up so many traps? He hasn't been this disheveled in a long time.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, muttering curses under his breath, when suddenly a voice came from behind him. "What, you've trespassed on my territory, and you're complaining that I didn't treat you well?"
Su Zhan was caught off guard when the True Self suddenly appeared behind him, and felt a pang of guilt. He immediately turned around and looked at the white-bearded old man in front of him.
He forced a smile, "How could that be? I feel that although the journey to visit you has been somewhat tiring, since you are the legendary True Man Lin Lie, how could I show my sincerity if I didn't offer something in return?"
"Given your immense strength, sparing my life is already an act of great mercy."
The old man chuckled and said, "You're smart enough to know your place; otherwise, I would have locked you up until you died."
Su Zhan in a cold sweat, then chuckled and said, "Yes, you are truly magnanimous."
He had cursed him countless times in his heart. But when you're on someone else's turf, you have to bow your head. The situation was pressing, and he needed his help.
True Man Lin Lie: "I haven't seen any outsiders break in for many years. These traps are only to prevent Ordinary Grade accidentally wandering in. They didn't use much force, otherwise, it's really hard to say whether you would still be alive."
Su Zhan cursed under his breath: What are you pretending for!
Her smile remained bright as she said, "You are so kind and compassionate; you are simply the kindest person I have ever met!"
His hypocrisy was obvious, but the old man didn't seem to care. He waved his hand and said, "Since you're here, you must have some skill."
"I don't have anything else here that anyone could covet. You're here for the Thousand Year Drunk, aren't you?"
Su Zhan praised, "You are truly a prophet."
True Man Lin Lie: "I'm a wine lover, and I also admire geniuses who love wine and have talent."
"So this wine?" Su Zhan smiled, surprised that he could obtain it so easily.
But he said, "You'll have to work hard to get this wine yourself."
Su Zhan's smile instantly froze on his face. What did this mean? Did this old man still want him to fight?
Although he doesn't seem very serious, both his own experience and the reminders from various Cultivation Method indicate that this person is not to be trifled with.
If I act rashly, I'll not only get nothing but also get hurt. Should I just give up like that?
But he didn't directly reject him, leaving him some room for maneuver, and Su Zhan was reluctant to give up.
Su Zhan: "How do you want me to collect it?"
True Man Lin Lie: "I've been here for so many years, and it's been very lonely. Moreover, if I'm the only one who knows this Thousand Year Drunk technique, it will inevitably be lost to the world in the future."
True Man Lin Lie: "Such fine wine, it pains me to waste it! That's why I'm planning to find a successor."
Su Zhan's forehead creased with annoyance. "You want me to learn winemaking?"
The old man opposite him laughed loudly and said, "What, you're still not happy? Do you know how many people beg me to learn, but I won't teach them?"
Su Zhan thought to himself: No matter how many people beg you, I don't really want to learn.
His only thought was to quickly obtain the Artifact to improve his strength, so that he could become a powerful figure capable of standing alone and thus be invincible.
Who wants to learn these miscellaneous skills? He's not going to open a winery in the future.
True Man Lin Lie saw through his thoughts and said, "Young people are still too impetuous. They need to learn more and cultivate a more refined mindset."
