• Su Zhan confronted True Man Lin Lie after realizing the brewing method was deliberately wrong, and Lin Lie revealed that it had been a test.

Su Zhan experimented with brewing Thousand Year Drunk and realized that it had no fixed recipe, while True Man Lin Lie pushed him to develop his own judgment rather than follow rigid instructions. Lin Lie sent him to gather different ingredients, and Su Zhan left to reflect on the lesson and ask the Moon Beast about the legendary wine.

• Su Zhan separated herbs with conflicting attributes and made a better but still flawed batch of Thousand Year Drunk.

• The Moon Beast admitted it had never tasted Thousand Year Drunk, and Su Zhan grew eager to discover what the wine was like.

• The Great Evolution Tribe took a large amount of Thousand Year Drunk from True Man Lin Lie and promptly left, leaving Su Zhan bewildered.

Su Zhan and the Moon Beast sneaked into True Man Lin Lie’s wine cellar to steal Thousand Year Drunk, but drank too much and passed out. Su Zhan woke after ten days to find Lin Lie watching over him, and discovered the wine had greatly increased his Mental Power.

• Lin Lie told Su Zhan that he had slept for ten days and ten nights and scolded him for stealing the wine.
• Su Zhan realized the Thousand Year Drunk had raised his Mental Power by a level and thanked Lin Lie for looking after him.

Su Zhan learned from True Man Lin Lie that Thousand Year Drunk contained fragments of Heavenly Dao Rules and that its formulas could not be reused. He investigated the wine thief’s connection to the fallen Great Evolution Tribe, then decided to wait and study while the thief remained far away.

• Su Zhan flattered True Man Lin Lie and asked how aged brews differed from ordinary Thousand Year Drunk.
• True Man Lin Lie explained that each brew depended on unique conditions and could contain Heavenly Dao Rules, making it an absorbable item rather than ordinary wine.
• Su Zhan asked about the wine thief, and True Man Lin Lie revealed that the thief was the last survivor of the Great Evolution Tribe, which he despised for having surrendered to its fate.
• Su Zhan wondered whether the Great Evolution Tribe’s downfall was connected to item fragments and used the system to locate the thief on Planet 594, 300 light-years away.
• Su Zhan decided to study in peace and wait for the thief to return, while the Moon Beast woke, saw True Man Lin Lie, and fled into Su Zhan’s space.

Su Zhan stayed with True Man Lin Lie to improve his winemaking, then used a Space Barrier infused with time power to trap the returning Great Evolution Tribe wine thief. True Man Lin Lie arrived as the brief pause gave Su Zhan a chance to confront the intruder.

• The Moon Beast savored Thousand Year Drunk, while True Man Lin Lie kept Su Zhan under close watch after the earlier wine-stealing incident.
• Su Zhan brewed wine with sparkling beads he found in a meadow, and True Man Lin Lie drank it, collapsed from the poison, and warned Su Zhan to ask before using unknown ingredients.
• After a month of practice, True Man Lin Lie said Su Zhan had learned enough to continue on his own, and Su Zhan said farewell before returning when the system showed his target was too far away.
• Su Zhan remained with True Man Lin Lie, reasoning that the Great Evolution Tribe would likely return to steal wine again, and continued improving his brewing.
• When True Man Lin Lie sensed that the intruder had returned, Su Zhan rushed to the wine cellar and tracked the target as it approached.
• Su Zhan laid down a Space Barrier infused with time power, briefly pausing the intruder, while True Man Lin Lie chased over to see why his disciple wanted to stop them.

Su Zhan discovered that the Eye of the Heavenly God fragment he sought might have fused into the Great Evolution Tribesman, the race’s sole survivor. After three days of despair, he accepted that he might never assemble the complete item and resolved to keep growing stronger.

• Su Zhan brought the dazed Great Evolution Tribesman to True Man Lin Lie’s home and asked him about the Eye of the Heavenly God fragment, but the system scan found no abnormal item on him.
• True Man Lin Lie complained about the tribesman staying and drinking his Thousand Year Drunk, but Su Zhan persuaded him to let the man remain.
• The Moon Beast suggested Su Zhan consider why the Great Evolution Tribe had perished while this tribesman survived, leading Su Zhan to suspect the fragment had fused into his body.
• Su Zhan’s other two fragments also pointed toward the Great Evolution Tribesman, and Su Zhan feared the complete item could no longer be assembled.
• After three days, Su Zhan accepted the loss of the fragment and resolved to become stronger with the two-thirds of the item he still possessed.

Su Zhan learned that Jiang Shiyue had survived his tribe’s destruction by eating a precious treasure, then faced a siege by the Drum Tribe outside True Man Lin Lie’s defenses. After the attackers failed to break in, someone abducted Su Zhan in a cloud of black smoke, and a threatening voice demanded his release.

• Su Zhan questioned Jiang Shiyue about his tribe’s upheaval and learned that Jiang Shiyue survived after eating a precious treasure.

• A figure enveloped Su Zhan in black smoke and carried him beyond the barren planet, leaving him unable to move or speak.
• A threatening voice confronted the abductor and ordered them to put Su Zhan down.

After True Man Lin Lie drove off Su Zhan’s abductor, Jiang Shiyue explained that Su Zhan had been placed on the Heavenly Mystery Sect’s bounty list. Seeking to grow stronger, Su Zhan obtained and upgraded True Man Lin Lie’s Drunken Art, enduring intense pain as his cultivation techniques advanced.

• Su Zhan’s abductor fought True Man Lin Lie and escaped, while Jiang Shiyue rescued Su Zhan and carried him back.
• Jiang Shiyue told Su Zhan that the Heavenly Mystery Sect was a powerful assassination organization and that its bounty list put targets in grave danger.
• True Man Lin Lie returned wounded after pursuing the escaped attacker and promised to protect Su Zhan, who decided to remain and study Thousand Year Drunk.
• Su Zhan asked True Man Lin Lie for powerful cultivation techniques, and True Man Lin Lie gave him his self-written Martial Emperor-level Drunken Art.
• Su Zhan’s system could not add the Drunken Art to the Chat Group, but it allowed the technique to help upgrade his other techniques.
• Su Zhan upgraded his cultivation techniques, suffered about ten minutes of pain, and then began checking the results.

After Su Zhan’s attributes surged, True Man Lin Lie urged him to cultivate harder because he had become the target of a bounty hunt. Lin Lie agreed to teach Jiang Shiyue how to brew Thousand Year Drunk, giving her hope that she could stay with him.

After outsiders attacked the secluded cabin and captured True Man Lin Lie, Su Zhan left the defenses to face the Heavenly Mystery Sect. They demanded the Eye of the Heavenly God in exchange for releasing him.

• Su Zhan found Jiang Shiyue unconscious and revived him, learning that outsiders had attacked and True Man Lin Lie had disappeared.

• Despite Jiang Shiyue's warning, Su Zhan went outside alone and locked Jiang Shiyue inside the defenses.
• The Heavenly Mystery Sect demanded the Eye of the Heavenly God and promised to release Su Zhan and True Man Lin Lie if he handed it over.

Su Zhan surrendered the Eye of the Heavenly God to the Heavenly Mystery Sect in exchange for True Man Lin Lie’s release. After Lin Lie recovered, Su Zhan found his spirits again, while Lin Lie mourned his shattered wine flask and ordered Jiang Shiyue to find him a replacement.

• Su Zhan handed over the Eye of the Heavenly God’s two fragments after the Heavenly Mystery Sect returned the dazed True Man Lin Lie.

• Su Zhan persuaded Lin Lie to make Jiang Shiyue find him a replacement wine flask as the price of becoming his disciple.

Jiang Shiyue decided to find Black Stone Rock to make a unique wine flask for Su Zhan, and Su Zhan used the system to locate it. Jiang Shiyue carried Su Zhan to the destination, a small planet, and accused him of lying about how hard it would be to find.

• Jiang Shiyue chose Black Stone Rock as the material for a flask meant to preserve Thousand Year Drunk’s flavor and Spirit Energy.
• Jiang Shiyue asked Su Zhan to help him locate Black Stone Rock, and Su Zhan searched for it using the system.
• Su Zhan warned Jiang Shiyue that he might not be able to find the location, so Jiang Shiyue insisted that nowhere was beyond his reach.
• Jiang Shiyue carried Su Zhan through rapid jumps, following the directions Su Zhan gave at each fork.
• When they reached a small planet, Jiang Shiyue called the destination easy to find, and Su Zhan admitted that he had wanted to show off.

Su Zhan and Jiang Shiyue searched a seemingly lifeless planet for its hidden Black Stone Rock and discovered that its unusual terrain formed a natural concealment formation. They uncovered a deposit without breaking the formation, and Su Zhan began storing the stones while Jiang Shiyue wondered how much his storage space could hold.

• Su Zhan and Jiang Shiyue reached the desolate planet, where they could sense no Spirit Ore despite the system's report of abundant resources.
• Su Zhan observed that the overlapping mountains and strange trees formed a natural formation that concealed the resources underground.
• Su Zhan asked the system to locate the Black Stone Rock, followed its guidance to a small hill, and dug until the deposit was revealed.
• Jiang Shiyue identified the stones as Black Stone Rock, and Su Zhan collected them without destroying the concealment formation.
• Jiang Shiyue put away a few stones and grew suspicious as Su Zhan stuffed many more into his storage space.

Su Zhan and Jiang Shiyue put their Black Stone Rock to different uses, and Jiang Shiyue crafted an exceptional wine flask for True Man Lin Lie. Inspired by the flask, Su Zhan began experimenting with imbuing Black Stone Rock artifacts with demonic power and successfully made a small moving creature that obeyed his commands.

• Su Zhan studied the Black Stone Rock and found it malleable with excellent sealing properties, while Jiang Shiyue crafted a wine flask and cups from it.
• Jiang Shiyue presented the flask to True Man Lin Lie, who praised it and claimed it as his own.
• Su Zhan examined Jiang Shiyue's work and realized his own lack of crafting skill might explain why he had found little use for the material.
• Su Zhan began experimenting with Black Stone Rock artifacts infused with demonic power, hoping to make independently acting creations he could control.
• After failing to create powerful puppets, Su Zhan made a small four-legged creature modeled on the Moon Beast, and it moved and followed his commands.

Su Zhan had made an early breakthrough in fusing Demonic Beasts with hard shells, then helped Jiang Shiyue refine his approach to brewing Thousand Year Drunk. Jiang Shiyue produced his first finished batch, while Su Zhan recognized how their contrasting approaches revealed his own shortcomings.

• Su Zhan left his room after making preliminary progress on his Demonic Beast experiments, despite noticing that hard shells made the creatures stiff and weak.
• True Man Lin Lie encouraged Jiang Shiyue, explaining that his love and personal ideas made brewing difficult but might eventually let him produce exceptional wine.
• Jiang Shiyue returned with dangerous ingredients, and Su Zhan urged him to simplify his recipe and practice with basic materials.
• After more than ten attempts with simpler ingredients, Jiang Shiyue brewed his first finished batch and excitedly embraced Su Zhan.
• Watching Jiang Shiyue brew led Su Zhan to consider that he might be too cautious and had not devoted much thought to the craft.

Su Zhan found and took a strange egg while searching for rare brewing ingredients, then learned that it was a Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon with a legendary ability to travel through time and space. He decided to try hatching it, but had no idea how and turned to the alarmed Moon Beast for help.

• True Man Lin Lie criticized Jiang Shiyue’s brewing, while Su Zhan praised his progress and urged him to practice with more materials.
• Su Zhan searched distant planets for a special brewing ingredient and discovered a nearly hatched egg that gave off unusual energy.
• Su Zhan took the egg and fled, then returned to the wasteland planet and asked the Moon Beast to identify it.
• The system identified the egg as a Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon, whose sparse description said it could supposedly travel through time and space.
• Su Zhan decided to try hatching the egg before considering using it as a brewing ingredient, and the Moon Beast protested that it could not hatch it.

Su Zhan witnessed the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon hatch and secretly kept it hidden from Jiang Shiyue. He then began experimenting with a new batch of Thousand Year Drunk while True Man Lin Lie remained missing.

• The dragon egg flew wildly around the room before going still, and Moon Beast warned Su Zhan to let the hatchling overcome the trial on its own.
• When Su Zhan touched the egg, it burst into golden light and hatched into a tiny dragon that mistook him for its mother and settled on his head.
• Su Zhan tossed the hatchling to Moon Beast and went outside to reassure Jiang Shiyue, who had sensed an unusual aura nearby.
• After Jiang Shiyue left, Su Zhan kept the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon secret and confirmed with his Spiritual Sense that it was safe with Moon Beast.
• Su Zhan looked for True Man Lin Lie, learned from Jiang Shiyue that he had been missing lately, and began brewing Thousand Year Drunk with riskier ingredients.

Su Zhan discovered that his Thousand Year Drunk could transform ordinary animals and help them begin cultivating, but the Moon Beast warned that its effects were unpredictable and that the potent drink could harm him. He let the Chat Group members devour it instead, boosting each member’s cultivation speed by 3,000 times.

• Su Zhan tested Thousand Year Drunk on rabbits and field mice, whose unusual new abilities accompanied increased Spiritual Energy and longer lifespans.
• The Moon Beast sensed that the animals’ innate bones had changed and said they might embark on the path of immortality.
• The Moon Beast warned Su Zhan that the drink’s pure energy was unsafe for him to consume and could damage his body.
