Once he was certain he had lost the entire Peach Garden, Shen Bing gave up on that idea.
Next, he dragged the Peach of Immortality into the Eye of Truth—people were like that. Even when they knew there was no hope, they still wanted to try.
The result was unsurprising: it was a quest item and could not be analyzed.
Shen Bing then teleported back to Thousand-Mile Eye's residence. Although this quest had deepened his displeasure with Thousand-Mile Eye, he still had to turn it in.
When he saw Thousand-Mile Eye, the guy looked as though he had been waiting until his eyes nearly wore out.
