The Great Evolution Tribe came, then left
Having successfully achieved a breakthrough in his Mental Power, Su Zhan opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated, and exhaled a deep breath.
He rushed to True Man Lin Lie and said, "Master, Master, please tell me what other secrets the Thousand Year Drunk holds!"
True Man Lin Lie raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Weren't you very uninterested? Didn't I force you to learn?"
Su Zhan's expression changed faster than flipping through a book. "No, it's just that what Master wants to teach me is too profound, and I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it. Now I feel that I have already entered the inner sanctum, and I'm just waiting for Master to impart some more private secrets."
In fact, through absorbing the Cultivation Method, Su Zhan had accumulated a great deal of Mental Power, but he lacked a catalyst and had not been able to break through.
A vast amount of Mental Power accumulated in his Spirit Sea, but he didn't sense anything special.
Now that he has broken through, he has come to realize the wonders of cultivating Mental Power. Its strength is absolutely no weaker than that of cultivating Qi and Blood, or cultivating Devil Qi, etc., but it has been submerged in the ocean of history, which is a real waste of its potential.
Su Zhan felt he was the one who would save the world! How could something so wonderful be lost in the tide of history? He had to carry it forward.
His eyes gleamed, and the way he looked at True Man Lin Lie was as if he were looking at some rare and precious treasure, making True Man Lin Lie's skin crawl.
This was the first time he'd been stared at like that by a mere kid; no one had ever dared to look at him like that before.
True Man Lin Lie: "This matter cannot be discussed directly. Do you know why I searched for so long without finding a suitable disciple?"
"Because this aspect really tests one's comprehension."
"I can't teach you step by step, and I can't even give you pointers at crucial moments. I can only give you some hints indirectly. How far you get is up to you."
Su Zhan's eyes turned resentful; she had hoped to get some help from him and make faster progress.
He discovered that his interest in the Thousand Year Drunk was greater than he had imagined, and he wasn't even in such a hurry to find the Artifact fragments anymore.
Anyway, the Great Evolution Tribe is always on the move, so a few more days won't make a difference. He'll chase them no matter how close or far they go, but the Thousand Year Drunk is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Su Zhan couldn't find what he wanted here, so he could only keep experimenting, constantly looking for his own shortcomings, and repeatedly filling in the gaps.
But no matter how much he tried to improve, he always felt that he was still a little short of that threshold, as if he were separated by a thin membrane, hazy and indistinct, unable to cross it or see it clearly.
His skill level remained at a point where he could brew some effective wine, but not quite achieve the legendary effects.
The awkward predicament left him scratching his head in frustration, wishing that God would just kill him with a single stroke.
He tried this dozens of times, but still couldn't get the result he wanted. He couldn't help but feel discouraged, so he dropped what he was holding and dragged the Moon Beast to wander off to the side.
With nothing else to do, the Moon Beast accompanied him on a journey around the Planet, discovering that these Planet did indeed have unique features.
He reminded Su Zhan, "Don't just look at how well the plants are growing here; the abundant Spiritual Qi here is also excellent for cultivation. You might want to seize this opportunity."
Su Zhan looked around and said, "It's just that the Spiritual Qi is a bit richer; there are plenty of places like this."
The Moon Beast rolled its eyes. "You can see that the plants here are almost impossible to find outside. They can only form under these unique conditions. How come you didn't realize that the Spiritual Qi here is so different from the outside world?"
Su Zhan thought about it and realized it made sense, but after staying here for the past few days, he really felt that the Spiritual Qi here was no different from that outside.
He tried to absorb it for a while, and the Spirit Energy in his body slowly increased, but he still didn't feel any difference.
The Moon Beast was also troubled, shaking its ears. Unable to find the mystery, it could only put it aside for the time being; the two had more important things to do and were not in a hurry.
Su Zhan was about to search for more materials for the Thousand Year Drunk when the system suddenly issued a warning. "Warning! Warning! The detected Great Evolution Tribe is rapidly approaching."
Su Zhan was shocked: What? The Great Evolution Tribe is actually approaching!
He was filled with uncontrollable excitement, gazing into the distance as the system notifications continued to ring out.
"Ding, target detected one light-year from host."
"Ding, target detected 5,678,936 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected 153,473 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected 200 kilometers from host."
As they drew closer, Su Zhan seemed speechless, stunned by the sudden turn of events. What was going on?
The person I've been chasing for so long but haven't been able to win over is rapidly approaching me. Could it be because of the Thousand Year Drunk ?
But True Man Lin Lie has always been here before, so why didn't he approach him earlier?
Just as he was wondering, True Man Lin Lie appeared behind him unnoticed. "Oh, you've attracted him so quickly. He hasn't been able to get close to this place for years. He's only managed to get in thanks to you."
Su Zhan didn't quite understand, True Man Lin Lie explained to him, "Although the previous Electronic Storm didn't seem very strong—even you were able to get through—it was actually able to stop it."
"The Great Evolution Tribe relies on various Magnetic Field for their spatial perception. However, Electronic Storm, which are common in the universe, can effectively interfere with their Magnetic Field, causing them to lose their sense of direction."
"Whenever I get close to this place, I can only wander around like a headless fly. A while ago, because of your arrival, all the Electronic Storm rushed towards you and were disrupted, which gave him an opportunity."
Su Zhan suddenly realized, nodded in astonishment, and thought to himself: If I had known it would be so easy to lure him here, why would I have gone through all that trouble? But it's not too late now, this is truly an unexpected surprise.
But suddenly he heard the system notification sound again, "Ding, target detected leaving."
"Ding, target detected 500 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected 364,957 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected 5,678,349 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected two light-years from host."
Su Zhan was bewildered again. What happened? They were just getting close, how could they suddenly disappear into the distance?
True Man Lin Lie seemed to have expected this, and turned to leave.
Su Zhan grabbed him and asked, "What happened? What happened? Why did Master suddenly leave again?"
True Man Lin Lie looked completely at ease; he had come for the Thousand Year Drunk, and now that he had what he wanted, he was leaving.
Su Zhan: "How did you obtain it?"
True Man Lin Lie: "If I didn't steal, would he still come to me to buy it? Of course he would just take it and leave."
Su Zhan was completely dumbfounded. The Great Evolution Tribe had actually gone back right before his eyes?
True Man Lin Lie clicked his tongue and said, "Not only did he take it, he took quite a lot." His expression seemed to show great distress.
Su Zhan shook his head regretfully, but this also proved that the person really liked the Thousand Year Drunk, and he would find an opportunity eventually.
