The Great Evolution Tribe came to steal wine again
To be fair, the Thousand Year Drunk is indeed a good thing!
After drinking it, the Moon Beast felt that its fur was much shinier. It seemed that it should try to get more of it to drink in the future!
The Moon Beast secretly hoped that Su Zhan could quickly learn how to make the Thousand Year Drunk, so that it would never lack it in the future!
Suddenly, he realized that following Su Zhan was the right thing to do! Since leaving the Half-Moon Clan, his life had become much smoother.
After the incident of stealing the wine, True Man Lin Lie kept a closer eye on Su Zhan, never leaving his side. Even when Su Zhan was collecting information, Master Lin Lie would use his Divine Sense to monitor him, making Su Zhan very uncomfortable.
But remembering my past criminal record and my own fault, I didn't argue with him; instead, I practiced even more diligently.
The allure of the Thousand Year Drunk wine was truly immense; even without any other motive, and not for the sake of the Great Evolution Tribe, he still wanted to study it diligently.
During this search for materials, Su Zhan unexpectedly discovered something rather unusual.
It was on a grassy field, where the green grass shimmered with starlight in the early morning. Su Zhan initially thought it was light reflecting off dewdrops, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't; they were actually tiny, sparkling Pearl, looking incredibly Spiritual Qi.
Su Zhan carefully picked them up. These things were very peculiar; they felt like liquid to the touch, but they were also solidified. Even if you squeezed them apart, they would gather together again, somewhat like Mercury.
After he took the substance back and added it to the wine, the entire liquid emitted an unprecedented, shimmering light. This radiance attracted True Man Lin Lie, True Man Lin Lie righteously declared that he would help his disciple taste the wine.
Su Zhan couldn't stop him; he drank all the wine, and soon his face turned bluish-purple and he fainted.
It took Su Zhan a lot of effort to drag him to the bed. The old man was as still as a corpse, and it took him a long time to wake up.
He asked Su Zhan what he had added, his face grim. Su Zhan told him the truth, revealing what he had found.
True Man Lin Lie: "You dare put anything in there? That's deadly poison! Luckily, I was the one who drank it; if you had, you might be dead."
Su Zhan remained silent. Although his strength was far inferior to that of True Man Lin Lie, he was still confident that he wouldn't die from drinking it.
However, he was still very happy that someone had taken the blame for him, and said sincerely, "Yes, thanks to Master, otherwise, you, my disciple, would be gone too."
Seeing his sincere admission of wrongdoing, True Man Lin Lie was relieved and said, "If you want to add any strange or unusual things in the future, remember to ask for my permission first."
Thus, Su Zhan added another rule.
Su Zhan spent his days collecting materials and brewing wine, and soon a whole month had passed there.
Surprisingly, the longer he stayed there, the more settled he became, seemingly quite absorbed in this secluded life. He no longer wanted to participate in the outside struggles or search for the Great Evolution Tribe.
True Man Lin Lie walked up to him and said, "You've made considerable progress this past month, and the results you've achieved are already showing promise. I may not be able to teach you anything more in the coming days; you'll have to continue to learn and understand on your own."
Su Zhan understood what this meant; he was telling himself that he was ready to graduate.
Strangely, Su Zhan felt a little reluctant to leave, but also a bit weary. Having been away from Dragon Martial for so long, his mind had been constantly on edge, having to guard against pursuit and also trying to find Artifact fragments among various races, leaving him exhausted.
Having finally found a place to call home, a place that felt like home, it was time to leave, and he secretly longed to stay.
However, he was a rational person. He knew what he truly wanted and wouldn't stop for temporary comfort. He sincerely thanked True Man Lin Lie and then said goodbye.
They also left him many fun little gadgets they had collected from other Planet.
Actually, he really wanted to leave something useful for the other party, but True Man Lin Lie's strength was much higher than he had imagined. He didn't lack any treasures, and only these little trinkets were special enough to keep him entertained. There was nothing else Su Zhan could do.
Su Zhan embarked on another journey, and the first thing he naturally did was to let the system locate him, but the system's location showed that the other party was even farther away.
At a distance that Su Zhan could never reach, Su Zhan unloaded the baggage he had just put on his back and returned.
True Man Lin Lie, still reeling from their parting, stared blankly at Su Zhan as he returned and asked, "Why are you back?"
Su Zhan said, "I feel lost right now, my life is very confusing, and I desperately need my master's embrace to find a glimmer of warmth."
True Man Lin Lie so angry he almost kicked him out, but after all, he was his disciple, and he had to take responsibility no matter what.
If you want to stay, then stay!
Su Zhan was not only here out of weariness, but also because the Great Evolution Tribe was simply too far away. Rather than chasing after them pointlessly, he decided to wait here and wait for them to come to him.
The other party had never run this fast before. Covering such a long distance in such a short time can only mean one thing: he was hiding from True Man Lin Lie!
His hiding suggests that he will continue to have contact with True Man Lin Lie and may very well return to steal more wine.
Instead of wasting this time on a meaningless journey, I'd rather stay here and continue to refine my winemaking skills.
If one day he travels a great distance and the system locates him again and finds that the Great Evolution Tribe member have returned, he will be filled with regret.
Su Zhan honed his skills here day by day, until one day he heard True Man Lin Lie spit out and say, "That fellow is back again!"
Su Zhan was overjoyed and immediately ran to True Man Lin Lie's wine cellar, intending to wait there for the rabbit to come to him.
"Ding, target detected three light-years from host."
"Ding, target detected one light-year from host."
"Ding, target detected 6358 kilometers from host."
"Ding, target detected 3 kilometers from host."
Amidst the system's repeated notifications, Su Zhan saw a streak of light rushing towards him at incredible speed, so fast that Su Zhan's vision could barely detect it. The light was also extremely blurry.
Without a moment's hesitation, Su Zhan immediately erected Space Barrier around them, incorporating the power of time.
The surrounding space was separated from the outside world, creating a one-second time difference, causing the person who broke in to pause for a moment.
This slight pause gave Su Zhan an opportunity. True Man Lin Lie also somewhat surprised and came over to see why his disciple was so eager to keep this person.
