After the sect leader finished speaking, the sun was already high in the sky, its rays blazing and the heat intense.

All the clansmen sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation, while several clansmen with radiant wings on their backs in mid-air continuously poured liquid from their hands, like rain from the heavens, benefiting both the inner and outer sects.

This liquid is made by soaking mango fruits. Once you are exposed to it, you can improve your comprehension efficiency in a short period of time, allowing you to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

No one would miss such a good opportunity to cultivate, and everyone was concentrating on comprehending the essence. For a time, apart from the chirping of insects and the roars of beasts, there was no other sound. It wasn't until the sun set that the clansmen gradually awoke from their cultivation.

Such a universal celebration, regardless of whether one belongs to a different sect or not, can probably only happen at the end of the year.

As night fell, the interior of the Hive Cave became exceptionally lively. People drank, sang, and danced. At this time, there were no restrictions on the strong liquor and food except that they could not be taken away, so they could enjoy them to their heart's content.

This wine was made by mixing plant juice with the saliva of some kind of monster. Li Sisui smelled it once and felt that the stench was overwhelming. He had no desire to drink it at all.

However, the members of the outer sect drank and sang heartily, completely unconcerned.

Everyone's face was flushed from drinking, and the initial wariness between them vanished with the help of the strong liquor.

The atmosphere was incredibly warm. Li Sisui couldn't help but recall the scene on New Year's Eve of the previous year, when the whole family sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing.

As Li Sisui pondered, he picked up the foul-smelling wine glass and took a deep gulp.

The stench only reached the tip of my nose and didn't penetrate any further. As the liquid passed through my throat and into my stomach, a spicy and sweet sensation was accompanied by a hint of grassy fragrance that rushed straight to my head.

Li Sisui exhaled a long breath of alcohol, his face flushed, and he chuckled foolishly. After an unknown amount of time, he wiped his mouth and muttered to himself:

"It stinks! But it's good wine!"

I wonder who I could tell this to?

Li Sisui lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes glazed over, his face shifting between excited flush and distressed sorrow. The hard-won alcohol stirred up his hazy memories, and he murmured to himself:

"Ru Shuang, Diao Bao, Yao Shiba, where did you all go...? And where is this place? Where the hell am I? How did I end up in this godforsaken place when I was cultivating immortality just fine?!"

Li Si gave a bitter smile, subconsciously touching the Zhishan thumb ring on his finger. A hint of relief finally appeared in his bitter smile. Since he hadn't figured it out yet, he would just take it one step at a time...
