With their hard shells, their abilities were indeed greatly enhanced, but there was also a downside: their movements became much more rigid.

If only Devil Qi is used to condense these demonic creatures, they will definitely be lively and energetic, and will even show some of the characteristics of real animals.

This flexibility and liveliness vanished once it was encased in a hard shell, replaced by stiffness and weakness, making it seem like a net loss in comparison.

Su Zhan was not discouraged; this was simply because he hadn't yet found the correct way to better integrate it, and this could be avoided as the experiments progressed.

Initial progress has been made, and Su Zhan no longer locks himself in this small room; haste makes waste.

Whether it's cultivation or research, one must maintain a balance between exertion and relaxation.

Upon opening the door, they found True Man Lin Lie leisurely lounging in a deck chair, basking in the Sun with a small glass of wine in hand.

Jiang Shiyue had already been sent out to collect materials in preparation for brewing a new batch of Thousand Year Drunk.

Su Zhan was nowhere to be seen during this time, while True Man Lin Lie and Jiang Shiyue busy. Jiang Shiyue was overjoyed when he learned that he could finally officially try brewing the Thousand Year Drunk Wine!

Those few days he followed True Man Lin Lie almost day and night, but for some reason, perhaps because his talent was too poor, his learning progress was much slower than Su Zhan's.

After trying dozens of times within an hour, Su Zhan successfully brewed the first batch of finished products.

Although it has major flaws and could only barely solidify into liquid, it is still a significant improvement.

Jiang Shiyue had been trying for two or three days, ruining countless ingredients, but hadn't gotten this far. He couldn't help but feel discouraged. Was he really just a useless person who could only drink but not cook?

The usually strict True Man Lin Lie patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Everyone has their own path, even in brewing wine."

"Su Zhan was able to quickly grasp the rhythm and get the hang of things, perhaps because he doesn't like fine wine."

"Because I don't love it, because it's none of my business, and because I haven't incorporated my own ideas, I'm just trying it based on the most accurate assumptions."

"While this method allows for quick entry into the field, it makes it difficult to grasp the essence. If Su Zhan wants to truly master it, he will likely need to invest a great deal of effort later on to brew his own unique wine."

Jiang Shiyue is the other extreme. When he brews, he incorporates his own preferences, thoughts, and ideas, and unconsciously incorporates his own philosophy.

Therefore, it is extremely complex for him to create the Thousand Year Drunk into a harmonious whole.

However, if successful, the product quality will be excellent, and it may even surpass that of Su Zhan.

After this explanation, Jiang Shiyue finally regained his confidence and squinted at True Man Lin Lie, asking, "Really? You're not just lying to comfort me, are you?"

True Man Lin Lie chuckled slyly and said, "You're overthinking it. You're not worthy of my going out of my way to deceive you." This remark Jiang Shiyue.

Before Su Zhan and True Man Lin Lie could exchange more than a few words, Jiang Shiyue arrived carrying the materials he had collected.

This time, he mustered his confidence and shouted, "I will definitely succeed! I refuse to believe that I can't brew a little bit of 'Thousand Year Drunk' today!"

A fierce fire ignited in his eyes, Su Zhan remained silent for a moment, even feeling a pang of envy.

In fact, Jiang Shiyue had already sensed what True Man Lin Lie had said to Jiang Shiyue. He was not a wine lover, and even after tasting the Thousand Year Drunk and realizing its value, he still didn't love it that much.

It's just appreciation, so I don't put too much thought or emotion into it.

So much so that if he wanted to reach the top on this path, it would take him much longer, and he didn't intend to put in that much effort.

Despite being so young, he lacks this unwavering passion.

On the contrary, Jiang Shiyue, who had been living in a daze for so long, had been wandering in the universe for who knows how long.

But while learning to brew the Thousand Year Drunk, he seemed to rediscover his younger self, and find his passionate love and unwavering dedication once again.

Su Zhan was watching when True Man Lin Lie slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Look at your junior brother, so clumsy. Well then, I'm too lazy to watch him anymore. You teach him properly."

Su Zhan rolled his eyes at True Man Lin Lie, but did not refuse.

It's true that True Man Lin Lie is lazy, but it's also true that he wants him to strengthen his relationship with his two Senior Disciple Brothers, Jiang Shiyue.

In addition, he learns really quickly, which can help Jiang Shiyue in this aspect, so that he doesn't just linger outside the beginner level and can only be a medicine boy who gathers materials.

When Su Zhan walked up to him, he noticed that the man was in a disheveled state. He had only tidied himself up a bit outside before coming back, and his clothes were covered in dust and torn.

The clothes he was wearing were not those of Ordinary Grade. Although they were not particularly high-grade Magic Robe, they still provided some level of protection. The fact that they were damaged to this extent showed that he had suffered a lot while collecting them.

In an instant, Su Zhan was reminded of those Years days, except that the things he collected were relatively common and not difficult to find.

He looked at Jiang Shiyue's materials and was startled. These materials were far more compelling than the ones he had found back then!

He asked a few tentative questions, Jiang Shiyue proudly replied, "I picked out many of these things myself!"

Among them were even the livers of several Spirit Beasts...

Seeing this, Su Zhan secretly exclaimed in his heart, "666!"

There's nothing he can't do, only things you can't imagine. Su Zhan originally didn't want to say much, but after seeing him fail dozens of times in front of him and become increasingly disheveled, he changed his mind.

Finally, she couldn't help but say to him, "Perhaps you have many brilliant ideas now, but in the Primary Grade stage, it's extremely difficult to control to combine them all. It's better to simplify things and use only the simplest materials to get a feel for it. Once you get the hang of it, you can decide the path for yourself."

So Su Zhan watched as Jiang Shiyue reluctantly discarded some Spirit Beast livers and other materials that left him speechless, choosing instead some more basic ones.

After more than ten attempts, they finally succeeded in brewing the first pot of finished product.

He jumped for joy, ran over to Su Zhan, and exclaimed, "I really did it! I really did it!"

After changing the materials, success came quickly, showing that he has considerable talent. However, the experiment he wanted to undertake was simply too extreme...

After observing his Refining process, Su Zhan seemed to have identified his own shortcomings.

If Jiang Shiyue too bold, then perhaps I am too cautious, or perhaps I haven't put any thought into this matter at all.
