Earth Core Body Tempering Milk

When Zi Yan was standing nearby, heard that Xiao Ming was going to give the Snow Demon Sky Ape a Form Transformation Grass, she immediately became unhappy. She blinked her big eyes and muttered...

"I'm the one who found that medicinal herb. You said you'd give it to me to Form Transformation Pill later. Now that you've given it to me, what am I going to do with my Form Transformation Pill?"

Why would Zi Yan say that?

It turns out that ever since Xiao Ming broke through to the Grade Six Alchemist, Zi Yan felt that her growth rate was too slow, so she wanted Xiao Ming to help her refine the Form Transformation Pill after he became Seven-Rank Alchemist.

Xiao Ming did not refuse; he was Alchemist, why should he refuse someone asking him to refine medicine?

However, Xiao Ming planned to have Zi Yan follow the rules for Alchemist and prepare three portions of medicinal herbs for him himself.

Zi Yan didn't say anything about it, after all, finding medicinal herbs was something she was very good at.

So far, Zi Yan has indeed found quite a few medicinal herbs for Xiao Ming, including a Form Transformation Grass.

Including the two plants selected by the Simulator, Xiao Ming now has a total of three Form Transformation Grass in his Na Ring.

Hearing Xiao Ming's deal with the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Zi Yan thought Xiao Ming was giving her Form Transformation Grass to the Snow Demon Sky Ape, so she was a little unhappy.

"Don't worry, those medicinal herbs are mine."

After offering a casual explanation, Xiao Ming touched the Star Ring on his finger, took out a Jade Bottle, and threw it towards the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

"This is healing medicine, take it quickly."

Snow Demon Sky Ape hesitated for a moment after receiving the pill, but finally poured some into his mouth.

A green pill, exuding a strong Medicinal Fragrance, burrowed straight into its gaping maw.

After swallowing the pill, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's Aura rapidly recovered. The filthy blood from its torn skin flowed away, replaced by fresh blood that congealed into scabs on its body surface.

Soon the scabs fell off, and the horrific, gruesome wounds were almost completely healed.

Looking at the recovered Snow Demon Sky Ape, Zi Yan stepped forward and kicked it. "Now that you're healed, hurry up and take me to find the treasure. Don't dawdle here. I don't know what Xiao Ming wants you for, you little monkey. You're completely useless."

"You... Hmph!"

After being kicked by Zi Yan, the Snow Demon Sky Ape glared at Zi Yan, then stood up and said in a deep voice.

Come with me.

"Wait, first clear the fire around here."

Xiao Ming pointed to the burning trees around them and said.

If this fire is not extinguished, it could cause a major conflagration.

Let's just eliminate it if we can.

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's request, the Snow Demon Sky Ape remained silent for a moment before letting out a fierce roar.

Instantly, a snow-white, icy energy ripple spread rapidly, and some boulders and trees along the way were instantly turned into snow-white ice blocks after being affected by the icy ripple.

"Well done. Lead the way. I'll give you the Form Transformation Grass once we get inside."

Looking at the forest, which resembled a world of ice and snow, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Guided by the original owner of the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan finally entered the valley safely.

The valley was incredibly spacious, filled with dense trees and scattered rocks, but there were no other living creatures, clearly having been driven away by the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Although there were no living creatures, some exposed, stark white bones could be seen on the ground, creating a scene resembling a dead land that sent chills down one's spine.

"It seems this Snow Demon Sky Ape has killed quite a few Magical Beast that came to steal the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk!"

Xiao Ming looked at the enormous skeletons and muttered to himself.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape did not stop upon entering the valley; led by it, the two quickly reached the edge of a dark cave at the valley's end.

The cave faintly smelled of wild animals, quite similar to the scent emanating from the Snow Demon Sky Ape, suggesting it was its dwelling cave.

The cave is quite large, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate the Snow Demon Sky Ape. The mountaintop is more than ten meters high. Inside the cave, rocks are scattered everywhere, and white fur can be seen all over the place.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape led Xiao Ming and the other person to the stone wall at the end of the cave, where they stopped.

Zi Yan turned her little head, but didn't find the treasure.

"Little monkey, why did you stop? There's no Earth Core Body Tempering Milk here."

This time, the Snow Demon Sky Ape ignored Zi Yan and silently walked to a corner of the mountain wall, where it began to dig with its enormous hands.

Handfuls of mud and sand were dug out, and after a while, a dark, gloomy underground entrance appeared.

Xiao Ming: "You're pretty smart, you even knew to cover the entrance."

"Other Magical Beast are always eyeing the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, so we can only take precautions to prevent others from sneaking in."

Snow Demon Sky Ape explained, glancing at Zi Yan as he spoke, clearly implying something.

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

Sensing that the treasure was in the Underground World below, Zi Yan disregarded the Snow Demon Sky Ape's tone and urged him on.

The passage was extremely winding, and after walking for nearly ten minutes in a quiet atmosphere, Xiao Ming and the others followed the Snow Demon Sky Ape to a cave entrance that was glowing white.

After the Snow Demon Sky Ape entered the cave, Zi Yan excitedly crawled inside, with Xiao Ming following closely behind.

As his feet stepped out of the dark passage, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a bright light before his eyes, and then he could clearly see the environment of this Underground World.

What appeared before Xiao Ming was an Underground World filled with stalactites. As far as the eye could see, the milky white stalactites stretched endlessly to the horizon, emanating a pale white light that banished all the darkness.

Stalactites grow everywhere, some hanging from the mountaintops, some even reaching hundreds of meters in length. At a glance, the mountain dome is covered with enormous stalactites, and occasionally a drop of white liquid drips down, splashing milky white water on the ground.

"What a wonderful Underground World..." Xiao Ming clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The Earth Core Body Tempering Milk is on the left!"

Once here, Zi Yan no longer needed the Snow Demon Sky Ape to lead the way. With her sensory abilities, she could clearly pinpoint the approximate location of things even at such a close distance.

She shouted excitedly and hurriedly ran to the left.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming followed closely behind.

The two walked through this world of stalactites for nearly ten minutes before stopping.

A huge stalactite appeared before them.

This stalactite connects to the top of the mountain at one end and hangs vertically downwards at the other. Its enormous size is over a hundred meters long and as wide as two people could hug. A pale white light surrounds it, making it look like a crystal pillar.

This stalactite is undoubtedly the largest in this Underground World. Its size makes it seem like the king of stalactites, receiving the worship of countless other stalactites around it.

As your gaze gradually moves downwards, beneath this stalactite lies an extremely large blue stone, most of which is buried underground.

At this moment, at the top of the bluestone, there is a groove less than half a foot deep, which is directly opposite the tip of the stalactite above. The groove is filled with a milky white liquid about two inches deep, and a faint white mist floats on the surface of the liquid. The mist is quite strange, as it never dissipates no matter how it floats.

Zi Yan lay on the bluestone, her little head buried in the mist, her nose less than a millimeter from the surface of the lotion. Her nostrils flared as she sniffed the scent, repeatedly confirming its presence.

After several confirmations, Zi Yan reluctantly stood up, her small face showing extreme frustration. She looked at Xiao Ming and said aggrievedly, "Xiao Ming, this liquid in the pit doesn't seem to be something I sensed."

"Impossible! I've been guarding this treasure all along. It's definitely the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk; there's no mistake!"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Demon Sky Ape, who arrived after Xiao Ming, retorted.

This is what it usually guards; it's even drunk quite a bit of it. It's certain that this is definitely Earth Core Body Tempering Milk.

"This is indeed Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, but it's just diluted," Xiao Ming said slowly, looking at the pool of liquid.

Snow Demon Sky Ape was taken aback upon hearing this. Diluted? There's such a thing? How come he didn't know that!

"Diluted? That stuff's on top, isn't it!"

Zi Yan is quite clever; she figured out the result in no time.

"Okay, come up with me." Xiao Ming looked up at the enormous stalactite hanging upside down in the mountain sky, waved to Zi Yan, and then slowly floated up towards the giant stalactite.

Upon seeing Xiao Ming's actions, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed him.

Although the Snow Demon Sky Ape wanted to follow, it couldn't fly and could only stand there helplessly.

The two flew up along the massive, vertical stalactite, which was over a hundred meters long, and a few minutes later, they actually reached the top of the mountain.

Looking down from here, those stalactites that once seemed quite huge now appear to be only the size of ants. Looking around, one can see other stalactites hanging in the mountain sky, their faint light bringing illumination to the entire Underground World.

Xiao Ming ignored the stalactites around him and instead stopped his floating body at the base of the largest stalactite.

Here, the stalactites meet the mountain dome, and a faint fluorescent light seeps out from within the stalactites, reflecting off them like transparent crystals—a truly beautiful sight.

Xiao Ming hovered there, looking at Zi Yan who had followed him, and said with a pursed mouth, "Zi Yan, sense it again!"

Zi Yan sensed something as soon as she arrived at the mountain peak. Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward and used both hands and feet to embrace the crystal-clear stalactite, pressing her small face against its base.

A moment later, the voice exclaimed excitedly, "That's right, this is the treasure I've been sensing!"
