Su Lin clearly remembered nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin had somehow acquired Drunken Immortal Brew, a wine rich with concentrated qi easy for others to assimilate; after years of aging, it not only tasted exquisite but also aided cultivation—its only flaw being its overwhelming potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the qi was absorbed, the alcohol’s strength seeped into the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Last night, you founded the Heaven’s Will Sect, and I took charge of its management and operations,’ Zhongli closed the book and explained. ‘Including disciple selection, assessments, and martial arts instruction.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ahahaha, really?’ Su Lin’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Yes.’ Zhongli affirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just drunken nonsense!’ Su Lin hastily denied it.
