This statement is absolutely true.
At that time, Lin Yuan realized this world was an illusion, so the Immortal Gourd he painstakingly refined was naturally just a joke.
Feeling utterly disheartened, he simply threw the object to those Cultivators, watching them scramble for it like mad, finding some small comfort in their eagerness.
But afterward, he suddenly came to his senses; while it was useless to him, if he used it to establish good relations with the Cultivators of this world, wouldn't that be a win-win?
Therefore, he made a special trip back to Five Directions Town.
Through subtle clues, he found Jin Yangyan, who had successfully defeated many competing Cultivators and obtained the Immortal Gourd.
Then, he took back the Immortal Gourd.
To this day, he could still clearly hear Jin Yangyan's outraged and incredulous roar, "Didn't you say this item was meaningless to you? What do you mean by forcefully taking it back now?"
