Gathering ingredients, beginning the brew

And so, Su Zhan became the disciple of the legendary True Man Lin Lie. Looking at the boundless Desolate Star, his eyes were ashen.

Today marks the third day since he became True Man Lin Lie's apprentice in brewing wine.

True Man Lin Lie said that the process of making Thousand Year Drunk is very complicated, and every ingredient needs to be carefully selected in order to become a rare and excellent wine.

Su Zhan had no interest in any of this, but he had no choice but to comply with the pressure.

He still needed to search for materials everywhere according to True Man Lin Lie's requirements. What he needed to find now was the Thousand Year Peach Branch that the man had mentioned.

After True Man Lin Lie's explanation, he realized that these Desolate Star were actually hidden paradises, no wonder he chose to live in seclusion here.

These places are undiscovered paradises, nurturing countless spiritual beings over thousands of years.

These things are both rare and common; they are all very ordinary species, just like any other species in the world.

The difference is that this place is rich in Spiritual Qi, which can make Ordinary Grade species evolve to be more powerful and allow them to live for tens of millions of years. The Spiritual Qi here is also a natural and pure power that has been accumulated for tens of millions of years.

This was the first time Su Zhan had learned that even flowers and plants could cultivate themselves.

They can also enhance their Life Element by accumulating Spiritual Qi, and some can even awaken their own intelligence, thus becoming the legendary demons.

However, such cases are extremely rare. When they are unconscious, they can only accumulate Spiritual Qi naturally through the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The process is very slow, and it requires the right timing, location, and people.

This Planet is not large, but it has dozens of Peach Blossom that are over a thousand years old, and even one or two that are close to ten thousand years old.

When he arrived, he was greeted by a breathtaking scene: petals falling in profusion.

He had never seen such a large Peach Blossom before. Despite its advanced age, the blossoms were still vibrant, even more so than those of ordinary Peach Blossom.

It faintly emits a light; it would be even more beautiful if viewed at midnight.

His perspective changed somewhat; he realized that he had indeed been ignorant before, never having witnessed such a wondrous sight.

Suddenly, I understood why True Man Lin Lie had said he needed to improve his mental state. His cultivation speed had been extremely fast during this period, and even throughout his entire cultivation career.

For ordinary people, it is necessary to improve their mental state while cultivating, otherwise their soul may not be able to withstand the cultivation.

However, he was naturally stronger in terms of Mental Power, so he didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

One's state of mind grows naturally, and combined with Mental Power, it is sufficient.

The fragrance of Peach Blossom was intoxicating. He carefully plucked two delicate Peach Blossom from the very top of the Peach Blossom and then carefully put them away.

After finishing, I took out a List, which was filled with all sorts of information.

This is what his Cheap Master told him to collect. When he saw these, he rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

I don't understand why a simple pot of wine requires so many ingredients.

After gathering the Thousand Year Peach Branch, they hurried to the next location to find the legendary ginseng that could escape.

This time, things didn't go as smoothly as with the Peach Blossom branch, probably because the ginseng had already developed consciousness.

Moreover, unlike Peach Blossom, which are simply parts taken from the peach tree, they do not damage the tree itself; in fact, the damage is minimal and negligible.

But digging for ginseng is a real life-threatening task, so naturally, they had to exert all their strength to run around everywhere.

Don't let his lack of combat prowess fool you; his ability to escape is absolutely unparalleled. Su Zhan chased after him relentlessly for a long time, circling the Planet three times, but still couldn't catch him.

This thing is also incredibly good at hiding; if you're not careful, it will suddenly burrow into the ground without leaving any trace on the surface.

Once buried in the ground, Su Zhan could only rely on his Mental Power, along with the help of various Cultivation Method, to search the surrounding area, which was time-consuming and laborious.

As he searched, he grew increasingly annoyed. Each ginseng was a hassle to catch, and he would need to collect dozens of them to have enough.

He could only scratch and curse, "Just how weak is this old fox? He needs so much ginseng. And why does brewing wine require so many Medicinal Herbs?"

He spent three whole days collecting materials, running back and forth, before finally meeting the standard that person had described and taking them back with him.

True Man Lin Lie nodded and said, "Not bad, you have completed all the tasks assigned to you Perfection. You have not let me down."

True Man Lin Lie: "Now that we've gathered the materials, let's begin brewing."

Thus, Su Zhan entered another hell.

He finally understood why he collected so many portions of each type of herb when he gathered them.

The old man said he would teach him how to brew wine, but he didn't actually do anything. He just gave him two so-called Brewing Secret Recipe and then let him try them out on his own.

The two sheets of paper contained very simple information. Following the instructions, Su Zhan placed the Medicinal Herbs into them one by one.

Then there was a loud "bang"—an explosion. He didn't have time to get far enough away and was covered in soup, making him even more disheveled.

He glared at True Man Lin Lie with resentment, True Man Lin Lie, drunk, laughed at him, "Such perfunctory treatment will naturally only yield perfunctory results."

Su Zhan gritted his teeth, wanting to curse him, but considering he still needed to get things from him, he had no choice but to keep trying.

This time he was careful and meticulous, and it exploded again before he realized where he went wrong.

He had simply thrown the Medicinal Herbs in one by one in order, paying little attention to the heat. Only now did he realize that the heat was also extremely important.

The fire he used was not Ordinary Grade fire; it was made from Spiritual Qi and fueled by the elemental properties of fire.

It can even connect to one's own Mental Power, making it very convenient to control. However, because the refining of medicine requires a high degree of precision in controlling the heat, he tried many times but still failed.

I tried countless times, but the dust on my body kept increasing, and I became more and more disheveled.

Fortunately, with the accumulation of experience, the number of explosions decreased, and things became barely acceptable.

Sometimes it can produce some cloudy liquid, but it doesn't look appealing enough to make you want to drink it.

Faced with defeat after defeat, Su Zhan became even more excited. His eyes gleamed, and he practiced with obsessive focus, making rapid progress.

Not only have they become increasingly adept at controlling the heat, but they've also figured out exactly when is the best time to add which Medicinal Herbs.

Sitting to the side, True Man Lin Lie raised his eyes. Sure enough, the person he had his eye on was exceptionally talented.

Especially that indomitable spirit, it reminds me of his younger days.

Judging from the current situation, Su Zhan is not far from success. He only needs one or two more trials to master the technique and brew his first batch of wine.
