Chapter 128 - 108: Acquiring the Life-Protecting Magic Treasure
Jiu Zhenjun managed a wry smile on his face. He certainly wanted to offer wine to Chi Yu Zi, but all of it had been bought by Gu Wen and was temporarily stored in his keeping.
Moreover, a voice from Hai Kun reached his ear, "Please, Fellow Daoist, don’t give wine to Chi Yu Zi. She needs to exercise some restraint."
Restraint? The sword was already at her forehead.
He wasn’t clear on the reasons behind this, nor was he particularly eager to pry into others’ secrets. As a mixed-category True Monarch and one who earned a living with his crafts, his principle for survival was similar to that of a Pill Master.
Just focus on alchemy; everything else was none of their business. That was the way to prosperity.

At this moment, Gu Wen emerged from the crowd because he noticed that Chi Yu Zi’s emotions were gradually stabilizing.
Feeling relieved, Jiu Zhenjun watched as Chi Yu Zi quickly approached in large strides and grabbed Gu Wen’s shoulder with such force that his clothes were torn.
Chi Yu Zi’s voice carried a trace of pleading, "Give me the Spiritual Wine. I’ll die without that stuff."
