Earth Spirit Milk

An incense stick later, in the inn's lobby.

The food and drinks were served, and the group immediately began to devour them. After a day of travel, everyone had only eaten dry rations along the way and was now ravenous. Lin Baichuan naturally didn't hold back, eating meat and drinking wine heartily.

The others were still conversing in low tones. He was the newcomer, and the five of Li Da didn't pay him much attention. He was content to be on his own, continuously stuffing his mouth with food, eating like a whirlwind.

A table full of food and wine was quickly half-finished by him alone. Ever since he improved the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth layer and his physical strength broke through eight thousand jin, he felt his appetite had greatly increased. If he were to truly let loose, he could probably devour a cow in a day.

Lin Baichuan was feasting like a whirlwind, and while he enjoyed himself, some people were not pleased.

Li Da and the others frowned as they looked at the instantly cleared plates on the table.

However, Li Da didn't say anything. As the captain, he had his own composure. Qin Qing, being a woman, also disliked Lin Baichuan's gluttonous manner. She merely frowned and said nothing.

But the other three were different.

Niu Zhenye, sitting beside Lin Baichuan, immediately darkened his expression and said unhappily to Lin Baichuan, "Lin Baichuan, you're really not being polite! Half the meal is in your stomach, isn't it! What, are you treating us to this meal today!"

Lin Baichuan turned his head to glance at Niu Zhenye, then looked at Li Da and said, "Captain, are our meals not reimbursed when we're out on a mission? The Demon Suppression Division's Demon Slayer Guards risk their lives to slay demons and monsters. If even eating is restricted, it's too inhumane!"

"You..."

Although Lin Baichuan's words were directed at Li Da, they were actually meant for Niu Zhenye, which immediately made Niu Zhenye's anger surge, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. A mere newcomer dared to mock him; it was practically courting death.

"Alright!"

Just as Niu Zhenye was about to erupt, Li Da waved his hand, interrupting Niu Zhenye, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a scene. It's just some food. We'll order another table after this is finished. Everyone eat quickly. Rest early after you're done. I have a feeling something is not right."

"Captain, all the martial artists in the inn are here, and there are even some at the Seventh Rank Organ Forging realm," Qin Qing suddenly said. "According to their discussions, it seems they've all come because of something."

Lin Baichuan's eyebrows twitched. He glanced at Qin Qing nonchalantly, secretly shocked. He had initially thought this woman was a privileged person sent down from the prefectural city for experience, but he didn't expect her to have some skills. In such a short time, she had gathered so much information. After all, from the moment they entered the inn, Qin Qing had been sitting and eating with them. Now it seemed he was truly eating, while the beautiful Qin was just using eating as a cover, her real intention being to eavesdrop on others' conversations in the lobby and analyze intelligence. Lin Baichuan's face flushed. Damn it, he still lacked experience; he hadn't even considered these things.

"Captain, could it be that some heavenly treasures have appeared? Otherwise, how could so many people be attracted here?" Wu Xiaoqi, sitting opposite Lin Baichuan, suddenly said.

Instantly, Niu Zhenye and Luo Kang's eyes flashed with a spark, showing a hint of eagerness.

"Don't get any crooked ideas. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us," Li Da said coldly. "Remember our mission. We're just staying here for the night and will leave early tomorrow morning."

Niu Zhenye and the other two wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing Li Da's cold expression, they swallowed their words. They had followed Li Da for so many years and knew his personality; he never went back on his word. If they had any ulterior motives at this moment, Li Da would definitely teach them a lesson.

Lin Baichuan saw everything, a divine light flickering in his eyes. Then, his chopsticks didn't stop, continuing to eat like a whirlwind. In the end, ninety percent of the food on the table went into his stomach. By the time the others reacted, all the plates on the table were empty. It left everyone stunned. My god!

At that moment, even Li Da and Qin Qing looked at Lin Baichuan with depressed expressions. Could this kid really be a hungry ghost reincarnated!

"Waiter, bring another table of food and drinks..." Li Da said with a wry smile.

Lin Baichuan gave an awkward laugh but quickly recovered, patting his belly. "Um... I'm full. Captain, you guys continue eating. I'm going out for a walk to digest..." Saying this, he prepared to get up.

Clang...

Just then, the inn's door was pushed open again. A gust of chilling wind swept through, causing the temperature in the lobby to drop by more than ten degrees instantly. Many people couldn't help but shiver and all looked towards the entrance. Standing at the door was a young man dressed in luxurious brocade robes. His handsome face was excessively beautiful, appearing very demonic.

"Waiter, a superior room, and send some food and drinks to my room." The young man's voice was sharp, and his words carried a sinister aura that made people's hair stand on end.

"Hmph, Yin Kuisheng, so many people are waiting for you. If you want to drink and eat, hand over the item first." Just then, a gloomy voice sounded from the crowd. Instantly, everyone in the lobby stood up with a bang, their faces filled with ferocity as they looked at the demonic young man.

Someone immediately chimed in, pointing at the young man and shouting, "Yin Kuisheng, Earth Spirit Milk is a rare treasure you can't handle. Hand it over, and you might live. Otherwise, Seven Mile Slope Town will be your burial ground tonight."

"Earth Spirit Milk? That's a top-tier treasure for body refinement. If taken during the Ninth Rank Skin Refinement stage, it can break human limits, granting over ten thousand jin of physical strength..."

Niu Zhenye, sitting beside Lin Baichuan,'s eyes widened in shock and greed.

In fact!

It wasn't just Niu Zhenye; everyone in the inn's lobby showed greed, many even swallowing. How desperate were they?

Even Qin Qing, a young lady from a noble family down from Eastern Wasteland Prefecture for some seasoning, had her eyes light up, clearly tempted.

It made sense. A treasure that could help someone break their physical limits and exceed ten thousand jin of strength was definitely a foundational divine medicine. Who wouldn't be tempted? The path of martial arts, at the Ninth Rank Skin Refinement, involved tempering the body's skin and muscles, cultivating physical strength.

However, human strength has its limits. It's said the human body's limit is ten thousand jin.

Breaking that limit is incredibly rare, like finding a phoenix feather. Most martial artists, let alone breaking the limit, couldn't even reach the ten-thousand-jin mark. Many martial artists at the Ninth Rank Skin Refinement stage only increased their strength to two or three thousand jin before choosing to break through to the Eighth Rank Bone Forging Realm.

Some geniuses could reach five to six thousand jin, but anyone who reached ten thousand jin of physical strength was considered a prodigy.

Breaking the physical limit was even rarer, a true monstrous talent.

Now, this strange young man, Yin Kuisheng, actually possessed such a heaven-defying treasure, and the news had leaked. No wonder so many people were targeting him.

Lin Baichuan sighed inwardly, his eyes also flashing with a sharp glint as he looked at the strange young man. He thought to himself, "If I could get this Earth Spirit Milk, I could break my physical limit and increase my strength beyond ten thousand jin.

Combined with my perfected Seven Kill Saber Art, even Li Da, who is at the Seventh Rank Organ Forging stage, wouldn't be my opponent..."
