• Eerie power surged from the Tomb Passages, and the experts guarding Su Zhan moved closer and defended against the unseen attacks.
• The companions maintained their defensive line and silently hoped Su Zhan would awaken, now relying on him to help them escape the danger.

• The fragment on Su Zhan’s chest grew scorching hot, and a stronger force resonated with it from the eastern tomb passage.

• Su Zhan examined the fused fragments, whose golden and emerald colors remained distinct, while the experts watched in astonishment.

Su Zhan left the tomb with a second item fragment that strengthened his powers and healed the Moon Beast, but Cheng Xinghe’s illness returned and raised new questions about the Moon Worship Tribe’s motives. Su Zhan decided to investigate the secret behind the tribe’s insistence on dissolving the contract.

• The item fragment boosted Su Zhan’s elemental attributes, and Elder Shishan said they could stop searching and leave the tomb.
• Su Zhan and the others escaped the tomb, while Elder Shishan stayed behind and arranged for their payment to be delivered.
• Su Zhan returned to his lodging, healed the unconscious Moon Beast, and examined the joined fragments, which still held separate blessing and mental powers.

• A messenger summoned Su Zhan to Cheng Xinghe, whose illness had returned with violent struggles, wounds, and fangs.
• Su Zhan questioned whether the Moon Beast had caused Cheng Xinghe’s condition and resolved to uncover why the Moon Worship Tribe wanted the contract dissolved.

Su Zhan discovered that the Moon Worship Tribe had drained the Moon Beast’s power through their contract, causing Cheng Xinghe and others of the main bloodline to mutate. He decided to help the Moon Beast reclaim that power, but warned the others that resolving the problem could cost Cheng Xinghe an entire major cultivation realm.

• Su Zhan used the Mirror of Insight on the frenzied Cheng Xinghe and realized his monstrous features were his true appearance, not an effect of his current condition.
• Su Zhan restrained Cheng Xinghe with space and mental energy, and the Moon Beast revealed that Cheng Xinghe had absorbed his power.
• Su Zhan understood that the Moon Worship Tribe had siphoned the Moon Beast’s power for ages, and that the power’s wild resonance had transformed the tribe’s main bloodline.
• Su Zhan resolved to help the Moon Beast reclaim his power and considered using the Booklet Tool fragment to purify the energy and dissolve the contract.
• When the others asked whether the problem could be fixed, Su Zhan warned that Cheng Xinghe might lose a whole major cultivation realm and never regain his peak.

• Su Zhan left Cheng Xinghe’s residence and told the others to summon him once Cheng Xinghe was lucid and Elder Shishan could leave his room.
• Su Zhan told the Moon Beast he planned to reclaim the power taken from him and spent the night devising a method to do so.
• The next morning, Su Zhan demanded a secure Cultivation Room and used the item’s Mental Suggestion power to hypnotize Cheng Xinghe into believing he was a spiritual creature like the Moon Beast.
• Cheng Xinghe explored his surroundings, then cried when the power inside him made him uncomfortable before finding a way to guide it in an orderly fashion.
• After confirming Cheng Xinghe was making progress, Su Zhan promised the Moon Beast he would repay his kindness, and the Moon Beast turned away without answering.

After Cheng Xinghe’s purification severed the Moon Worship Tribe’s connection to the Moon Beast, Su Zhan returned the stored power to the beast, who emerged stronger and agreed to travel with him. Su Zhan then learned that the fragments he was collecting belonged to the Eye of the Heavenly God, while the last piece was with the elusive Great Evolution Tribe.

• Cheng Xinghe completed three days and nights of purification, losing the power that had sustained his forced Contract and passing out exhausted.

• Su Zhan concealed himself to slip past six Drum Tribe elders at the boundary, then ran onward to escape his pursuers and grow stronger.

Su Zhan struggled to locate the last member of the Great Evolution Tribe and decided to lure him out instead of chasing the shifting coordinates. After meeting Qing He at a restaurant, Su Zhan agreed to help with trouble facing Qing He's Sect.

• Su Zhan ate a lavish meal and told Qing He he had been searching for someone.
• Qing He offered his help and asked Su Zhan to assist the Sect with a problem, and Su Zhan agreed.

Su Zhan discovered that the black Qi surrounding Qing He’s destination was five-star dark energy, which had crowded out other energies and halted cultivation there. He began absorbing it in an Advanced Cultivation Room, while Qing He watched and resolved to strengthen their relationship.

• Su Zhan agreed to help Qing He and followed him toward the area covered in strange black Qi.
• The system identified the black Qi as dark energy, and Su Zhan realized its excessive concentration had displaced other energies.
• Su Zhan reasoned that he needed to absorb the dark energy and investigate why it had gathered there before the problem could be permanently resolved.
• Su Zhan asked Qing He for an Advanced Cultivation Room and a Spirit Gathering Formation, then summoned his cultivation methods to absorb the energy.
• The cultivation methods created a vast vortex that drew dark energy into the room, and Qing He admired Su Zhan and resolved to stay close to him.

Su Zhan halted the Cultivation Methods’ frenzied absorption of dark energy after it caused lightning to tear apart a nearby mountain, then learned from the Moon Beast that the methods could absorb multiple attributes without becoming unbalanced. He settled into Qing He’s residence while the sect prepared to treat him with great respect.

• Su Zhan watched the Cultivation Methods absorb dark energy at rapidly increasing speeds until thunder and lightning erupted outside.
• Su Zhan told the Cultivation Methods to stop absorbing, and the lightning faded after the dark energy settled.

• Su Zhan watched the dark energy for several hours, confirmed it had stopped increasing, and settled into the residence Qing He had prepared.
• Qing He warned the sect’s junior cultivators not to disturb or offend Su Zhan, and they agreed to treat him with reverence.

Su Zhan used the Mirror of Insight to store Dark Energy and greatly accelerated the effort to control the dangerous energy buildup. After the mirror filled enough to require a pause, Su Zhan asked Qing He to investigate the Great Evolution Tribe and planned to stabilize the Dark Energy with a formation.

• Su Zhan struggled to absorb the vast amount of Dark Energy and considered using a storage item to remove it.
• Sun suggested that the Mirror of Insight could store the energy and benefit from absorbing it.
• Su Zhan awakened the Mirror of Insight, contacted its Artifact Spirit, and brought it to the Cultivation Room.
• Su Zhan and his avatars worked with the mirror to collect and absorb Dark Energy, reducing the problem by a third in a day and a night.
• The Mirror of Insight warned Su Zhan that its space was too full to absorb more safely, so Su Zhan put it away.
• Su Zhan told Qing He he would set up a formation to stabilize the Dark Energy, and Qing He promised to search his channels for information about the Great Evolution Tribe within three days.

Su Zhan finished building a formation to contain and cycle the Dark Energy, then used Qing He's information to pursue the last surviving Great Evolution Tribesman. Hoping to lure the wandering drunkard to him, Su Zhan headed for True Man Lin Lie to seek the legendary wine Thousand Year Drunk.

• Qing He told Su Zhan that the Great Evolution Tribe had only one survivor, an over-ten-thousand-year-old wanderer who carried a wine gourd.
• Su Zhan declined Qing He's invitation to stay and completed the Dark Energy formation with Qing He's help.
• Su Zhan left, used the System to track the Great Evolution Tribe, and decided to lure its survivor with rare wine.
• Su Zhan learned that True Man Lin Lie made Thousand Year Drunk and set out to seek him, since his coordinates lay along the way.

Su Zhan reached True Man Lin Lie’s remote home after surviving repeated Electronic Storms, only to be caught in a trap and meet the reclusive wine master. Lin Lie agreed to give him Thousand Year Drunk only if he learned to brew it, leaving Su Zhan reluctant to accept.

• Su Zhan arrived at True Man Lin Lie’s desolate planet after being battered by an energy storm, crashing into a lake, and enduring repeated Electronic Storms.
• White Dragon and Sun warned Su Zhan that they sensed strange energy, so he cautiously searched the area and was caught in a cage trap.
• True Man Lin Lie appeared and explained that his traps were meant to stop ordinary trespassers, while Su Zhan flattered him and asked for Thousand Year Drunk.
• True Man Lin Lie told Su Zhan he would have to earn the wine by learning to brew it, and Su Zhan privately resisted the idea.

Su Zhan searched the Desolate Star for ingredients to make Thousand Year Drunk, then struggled through True Man Lin Lie’s hands-off brewing lessons. After many explosive failures, Su Zhan made rapid progress and came close to brewing his first batch.

• Su Zhan gathered two peach blossoms from an ancient tree and learned that the Desolate Star’s Spiritual Qi had transformed ordinary plants and animals over ages.
• Su Zhan spent three days chasing down the elusive ginseng and collecting the ingredients True Man Lin Lie required.
• True Man Lin Lie gave Su Zhan two brewing recipes and left him to try brewing on his own.
• Su Zhan’s first attempts exploded, but he discovered that precise Spiritual Qi-fueled heat control was crucial to the process.
• Su Zhan improved through repeated trials, and True Man Lin Lie judged that he was close to brewing his first batch.

Su Zhan brewed his first pot of Thousand Year Drunk, then kept refining it while discovering the challenge it posed to his Mental Power. He realized True Man Lin Lie had deliberately taught him a flawed method, and Lin Lie revealed that spotting the deception had been a test.

• Su Zhan brewed his first pot of Thousand Year Drunk and spat it out when its taste and Spirit Energy numbed his mouth.
• True Man Lin Lie laughed at Su Zhan's reaction while secretly recognizing his talent and hoping to make him his successor.
• Su Zhan tried again, carefully studying the ingredients and Spirit Energy, but judged the next batch another failure.
• Su Zhan replayed the brewing process in his mind and noticed that two incompatible powers had clashed, revealing that the method True Man Lin Lie taught him was wrong.
• True Man Lin Lie saw that Su Zhan had uncovered his deception and told him he had passed the test.

Su Zhan experimented with the ingredients for Thousand Year Drunk and realized that True Man Lin Lie had deliberately given him a flawed method to make him discover the principles himself. After Lin Lie left him a new list, Su Zhan reflected on the drink’s flexible recipe and hoped to learn more about the Great Evolution Tribe.

• Su Zhan separated ingredients with conflicting attributes and made a better-tasting batch, then reasoned that he needed to understand each ingredient’s properties rather than trust Lin Lie’s instructions.
• Su Zhan ignored Lin Lie’s suggestion to gather more ingredients and continued experimenting, but each attempt yielded only clear liquid and left him unsure what he was missing.
• Lin Lie advised Su Zhan not to rush, gave him a new ingredient list, and explained that Thousand Year Drunk had no fixed ingredients or sequence before disappearing.
• Su Zhan settled down to think, then told the Moon Beast that Lin Lie might help him find the Great Evolution Tribe; the Moon Beast warned him to be cautious around Lin Lie.
• The Moon Beast said Thousand Year Drunk was reputed to be the finest wine and asked Su Zhan to share some if he learned to make it.
• Su Zhan concluded that Lin Lie had arranged the ingredients to teach him not to follow rigid rules, and he grew eager to taste Thousand Year Drunk.

Su Zhan ignored True Man Lin Lie’s recipe, gathered ingredients to his liking, and successfully brewed his first Thousand Year Drunk. Lin Lie’s explanation of the wine’s power triggered an epiphany that rapidly increased Su Zhan’s Mental Power, and Su Zhan stabilized it by purifying and compressing it.

• Su Zhan tore up True Man Lin Lie’s ingredient list and gathered Spirit Energy-rich plants and flowers that appealed to him.
• Su Zhan examined his chosen ingredients, refined them with White Dragon Flame, and brewed a fragrant, gently sweet wine.
• Su Zhan realized the wine’s ingredients and flavor could be chosen to suit the person drinking it, and True Man Lin Lie explained that Thousand Year Drunk could intoxicate someone with an emotion for a thousand years.
• Su Zhan had an epiphany, and Sun told the Cultivation Methods in the Chat Group that brewing and drinking the wine had caused his Mental Power to surge.
• The Moon Beast guarded Su Zhan as he struggled to control the excess Mental Power, then Su Zhan purified and compressed it until he calmed the waves in his Spirit Sea.

After breaking through in Mental Power, Su Zhan tried and failed to master the legendary brewing effects of Thousand Year Drunk. A Great Evolution Tribe member finally reached the planet, stole a large amount of the wine, and left before Su Zhan could confront him.

• Su Zhan asked True Man Lin Lie to teach him more about Thousand Year Drunk, but True Man Lin Lie explained that its secrets depended on comprehension he could not directly teach.
• Su Zhan experimented dozens of times with brewing Thousand Year Drunk but remained unable to achieve its legendary results.
• The Moon Beast suggested that Su Zhan cultivate using the planet's abundant Spiritual Qi, but neither of them discovered what made it special.
• The system warned Su Zhan that a Great Evolution Tribe member was rapidly approaching, and True Man Lin Lie explained that the planet's Electronic Storms had previously disrupted the visitor's navigation.
• The Great Evolution Tribe member stole a large quantity of Thousand Year Drunk and departed, leaving Su Zhan bewildered and regretful.

Su Zhan and the Moon Beast snuck into True Man Lin Lie’s wine storehouse to steal Thousand Year Drunk, but discovered the best wine hidden in a cellar and drank too much. After waking from ten days unconscious, Su Zhan found his Mental Power had increased and thanked Lin Lie for caring for him.

• Su Zhan persuaded the Moon Beast to help him sneak into the wine storehouse and sample the Thousand Year Drunk.
• Su Zhan found a hidden cellar after discovering that the Meteor Tribe member had taken all the wine jars upstairs.
• Su Zhan and the Moon Beast drank deeply from the cellar’s Thousand Year Drunk, and Su Zhan passed out after finishing a large jar.
• True Man Lin Lie told Su Zhan he had been unconscious for ten days and nights, and Su Zhan accidentally smashed a hole in the bed with his increased strength.
• Su Zhan realized the wine had greatly improved his Mental Power and thanked True Man Lin Lie for looking after him.
