Find Me Another Wine Flask, Then

It's clear that Su Zhan has been here for so long without any intention of coming out, obviously because he has lost track of the third fragment. That's why they decided to take action and seize everything Su Zhan has now.

Su Zhan hadn't expected them to make such a request; along his journey, almost no one knew about the Eye of the Heavenly God.

Hesitation was natural. Only Su Zhan himself knew how much he had sacrificed for this thing, even provoking the Three Great Races for it. He was also in despair for a long time when he realized he couldn't collect the third piece.

He sighed, realizing that this thing had brought him trouble, and summoned two fragments in his hand.

Su Zhan: "Here's what you wanted, but what about the people I need?"

The people opposite clapped their hands, and then a disheveled figure emerged from the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, Su Zhan him as True Man Lin Lie. He was in a disheveled state, his eyes were vacant, and he was muttering to himself.

Su Zhan immediately realized that he had been bewitched by Nightmare. Among the other party were experts in mental cultivation. He had never seen such powerful Mental Power before. No wonder True Man Lin Lie was so easily manipulated by them.

Su Zhan said, "Put him here first, and I'll give this to you."

After a moment's hesitation, Su Zhan continued, "The two of us against so many of you are like fish on a chopping board. What do you have to be afraid of?"

The other party seemed to finally believe him, and shoved the still dazed True Man Lin Lie towards him with a palm strike. Su Zhan also threw what he was holding over, saying, "Take what you need and get out of here."

The group hurriedly caught the Eye of the Heavenly God Su Zhan tossed to them. They examined it carefully, turning it over and over, and after confirming it was real, they waved to Su Zhan and said, "Wishing you a happy life." Then they vanished without a trace.

The Nightmare on True Man Lin Lie had weakened considerably, but the other party did not calm his mental sea. Su Zhan had to soothe him for a long time before he could stabilize his turbulent spirit.

True Man Lin Lie collapsed to the ground unconscious, like a snapped string. Su Zhan carried him back.

As soon as they returned, Jiang Shiyue had been waiting anxiously, rushed over and asked, "What happened? What happened?" He looked at True Man Lin Lie with concern.

Su Zhan said, "He's fine, just not feeling well right now. He'll be better after a few days in bed."

Jiang Shiyue was skeptical and asked, "Is that all? The Heavenly Mystery Sect isn't known for its mercy. How could they let you off so easily? You don't seem like someone who can beat them."

His gaze then fell on Su Zhan, checking him for any injuries.

Su Zhan shook his head and said, "I'm fine. He just asked me for something."

"What is it that even the Heavenly Mystery Sect wants?"

Su Zhan didn't speak, but Jiang Shiyue realized he had asked something he shouldn't have and quickly changed the subject.

"Quickly put True Man Lin Lie down. His old bones are in serious trouble with this injury."

Su Zhan put True Man Lin Lie on the bed and handed him over to Jiang Shiyue to take care of. He then went out to calm down.

The Moon Beast came out, and seeing that he was in a bad mood, it circled him a few times; "It's good that it took it, so you won't be sad about not being able to collect them all, right?"

Su Zhan gave the Moon Beast a cold look. No wonder he was imprisoned in the Moon Worship Tribe for so many years; he couldn't utter a single kind word!

The Moon Beast realized it wasn't very good at comforting people, so it changed its tune, saying, "So what if you don't get the Eye of the Heavenly God? Strength is always the most reliable thing, and you can't go far by relying on external things. Losing it will just make you reflect on whether the path you've taken is right or wrong."

"Divine Artifact are actually not easy to control. They're like wild horses; you need to be incredibly strong to control them, otherwise you'll only suffer a backlash. I think you'd better hurry up and improve your strength to become the strongest one."

Su Zhan lowered his eyes, then mustered his courage and said to him, "Yes! You're right! I've indeed been taking him too seriously lately. What does it matter if he's not here, or if he is? I can still become a powerful figure, I can still protect the people I want to protect, and do the things I want to do. If I'm so anxious about losing just one Artifact, what kind of powerful person am I!"

The Moon Beast smiled with satisfaction, "That's more like it. The reason I was willing to follow you back then was because I saw through your ambition and perseverance."

Always remember, Artifact are just icing on the cake. You must become a strong person yourself.

Su Zhan looked at the Moon Beast and said, "Since leaving the Moon Worship Tribe, I see that your spirits are getting better and better."

Moon Beast: "Of course, the burden of a thousand years has been lifted. Now it seems like nothing special, but when you're at your lowest point, you just can't get out of it! You're too close to the situation to see the bigger picture."

"Perhaps when you look back in a few years, you'll realize that the difficulties you're facing now are insignificant."

A moment later, Jiang Shiyue ran out of the house and called to Su Zhan, "He's awake! Come in and see him quickly!"

Su Zhan got up to check on him. True Man Lin Lie was already sitting up, his head was spinning, but he had already remembered what had happened.

He said self-deprecatingly, "I'm getting old, I never thought I'd fall into such a trap. And I've even dragged you all down with me."

Su Zhan shook his head and said, "No, it should be me who has implicated you. You should have been living a peaceful, secluded life, and you shouldn't have been targeted by them. Now, even your wine jug is broken..."

True Man Lin Lie seemed to only just realize what was happening, exclaiming, "What! My wine pot! My wine pot is broken! My goodness, that was made from Thousand-Year He Mountain Jade, something I obtained with great difficulty! It's my most prized wine pot, how could it break so easily!"

Su Zhan suddenly felt that the conversation he had just had was a waste of his emotions. In his eyes, he and his life were not as valuable as that wine jug.

Su Zhan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, the wine pot can be remade if it's broken."

Pointing to Jiang Shiyue, who was watching the commotion, he said, "Isn't he going to ask you to be his apprentice? You should at least show some sincerity. Just have him find you a good wine pot."

True Man Lin Lie thought about it and agreed, nodding and saying, "Yes, go and find me some top-quality wine, or don't expect to learn anything from me."

Jiang Shiyue, who had originally been uninvolved, looked at Su Zhan with a resentful gaze as soon as he realized that the matter had gotten to him.

Su Zhan looked at him without any guilt and said, "I believe that with your strength, this is nothing more than a small matter. Your own wine jug is quite good, isn't it? You can find another one and give it to your new master."
