Naming Xue Tian

After Zi Yan had calmed down for a while, Xiao Ming said:

"Now that we've confirmed the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk is here, please step aside for a moment so I can collect it. (Book 69, new)"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Zi Yan nimbly flew to Xiao Ming's side, but her eyes remained fixed on the spot where she had just been, unwilling to look away.

Xiao Ming flew to the spot where Zi Yan had just been, his Soul Power surging from between his brows. He probed the precise location of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk before smilingly taking out a fine white jade piece from his Na Ring.

Using his Dou Qi aura to envelop the surface of the jade piece, Xiao Ming then gently cut into it along the spot he had just explored.

Enveloped in Dou Qi, the jade piece became quite sharp. With just a light touch, the tip of the jade piece sank into the crystal-like stalactite with a soft hissing sound.

Holding the jade piece tightly in his palm, Xiao Ming made precise circular cuts, the subtle hissing sounds echoing continuously in the quiet high sky.

"Crack..." Suddenly, the jade piece in his hand completed the final segment of the circle, and immediately, a fragment of the stalactite circle detached from the main body.

Xiao Ming swiftly grabbed it, and as he looked up, a burst of intense light suddenly shot out from where the fragment had broken off.

This level of light had little effect on Xiao Ming gaze could clearly see the inside of the cut circular opening.

Inside the cut-open circular stalactite, a viscous liquid the color of jade was suspended.

The liquid seemed to possess a spirit, flowing slowly within the stalactites, but its movement was confined to the vicinity of the circle's opening, never venturing beyond a single line.

The pure energy contained in this viscous, jade-colored liquid surprised even Xiao Ming. This purity was more than ten times greater than the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk in the bluestone groove below, far surpassing ordinary rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk appeared, a rich and mellow fragrance wafted through the air. Zi Yan, standing nearby, closed her eyes, a look of ecstasy on her Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, her mouth wide open, and a few glistening drops could be seen at the corners of her lips...

Seeing Zi Yan open her mouth to lick the food, Xiao Ming immediately reached out his right hand and held her head down.

"Hey!"

Zi Yan stuck out her little tongue and licked it a few times. Feeling that she hadn't tasted anything but air, she let out a surprised sound and opened her eyes.

Once she understood the situation, she looked at Xiao Ming with a pitiful expression, clearly showing how alluring the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was to her.

But Xiao Ming didn't let go of her; he just rubbed her little head and said helplessly.

"Don't look at me like that. This genuine Earth Core Body Tempering Milk is extremely fragile. Only the most lustrous jade can protect it from damage. If any other object touches it, even the slightest bit will turn this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, which has been condensed for countless years, into a pile of useless junk on the spot. If you were to lick it now, it would probably be Earth Core Body Tempering Milk immediately. You should wait until I collect it before consuming your share."

"Then hurry up and collect it."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan stepped back slightly and urged Xiao Ming on.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, then took out a jade spoon from his Na Ring. As Alchemist, jade was the best vessel for holding pills, so he kept all sorts of jade items in his Na Ring.

Carefully inserting the jade spoon into the stalactite, Xiao Ming deftly rotated his wrist, and in a few quick movements, he scooped up most of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk.

After leaving a small amount of Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, Xiao Ming took out the jade spoon and then reattached the stalactite fragment in his hand. Instantly, the intense light gradually diminished, and the stalactite returned to its previous calm state.

After pouring the jade liquid from the jade spoon evenly into two high-quality Jade Bottle that had been prepared beforehand, Xiao Ming handed one of the Jade Bottle to Zi Yan.

"Here's your portion. This Earth Core Body Tempering Milk contains the Power of the Earth accumulated over Qian Bai by this stalactite. Its energy is immense. Drink it slowly, don't drink it all at once, understand?"

"Understood." Zi Yan took the Jade Bottle and replied with a smile.

She eagerly poured a drop into her mouth from the Jade Bottle, licked it with her pink tongue, and smiled contentedly, "So delicious!"

Clearly, this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk tastes much better than those medicinal herbs.

Seeing her delighted expression, Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head.

"Only Magical Beast dare to drink this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk like this. If an ordinary person were to drink even a sip, they would probably explode and die instantly."

He beckoned Zi Yan to fly down from the mountaintop, and Xiao Ming landed again beside the blue stone, his gaze fixed on the milky white liquid in the groove.

Although the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk had been diluted, its effects were still quite good. Even if it couldn't achieve the effect of Marrow Cleansing and Bone Refining, it still had a significant tempering effect on the body.

He took out four Jade Bottle from his Na Ring and carefully poured the milky-white Earth Core Body Tempering Milk into them. After filling the four Jade Bottle, there was not much Earth Core Body Tempering Milk left in the groove.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape watched helplessly as Xiao Ming took back the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk that originally belonged to it, its heart aching unbearably, and it had an urge to scream.

But thinking of the other party's terrifying strength and the promised Form Transformation Grass, he forced himself to turn his head away, suppressing his heartache, and chose to avoid seeing it altogether.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape had barely turned its head away when it heard Xiao Ming's voice.

"This is the Form Transformation Grass. Swallow it now, and I will protect you."

These words delighted the Snow Demon Sky Ape, and much of his inner pain subsided.

When he turned his head, he saw a medicinal herb with an alluring and exotic fragrance floating in front of him.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape smelled the fragrance and felt as if every cell in its body was cheering with joy.

"The Form Transformation Grass is not like the Form Transformation Pill. Successfully transforming into human form is not easy, and there may even be dangers. Whether you succeed or not depends on yourself," Xiao Ming said, looking at the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Demon Sky Ape nodded slightly. Without much hesitation, it opened its enormous maw and swallowed the Form Transformation Grass, which appeared extremely small in front of it.

"Roar!"

Not long after swallowing the Form Transformation Grass, the Snow Demon Sky Ape seemed to be in great discomfort, constantly roaring and pounding its chest with its huge claws, its size fluctuating.

Seeing this, Zi Yan, standing next to Xiao Ming, Schadenfreude, "Hmph, the Form Transformation Grass isn't so easy to swallow. Back in the day, I..."

Halfway through her sentence, Zi Yan suddenly stopped talking.

"How were you back then?" Xiao Ming asked curiously from the side.

"I won't tell you." Zi Yan made a face.

Half an hour later, a young man with white hair stood before Xiao Ming.

The man was strong and muscular, over two meters tall, and wore a black robe that was stretched taut by air, making it look bulky and bulging.

This is the Snow Demon Sky Ape that has successfully transformed into human form.

The transformation process was extremely difficult. Several times, the Snow Demon Sky Ape almost failed and fell short, but in the end, he succeeded.

Looking at his own hands, the Snow Demon Sky Ape shouted excitedly and knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Ming, respectfully saying...

"Owner!"

"Hmm." Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction. Compared to humans, Magical Beast are much simpler and don't have as many tricks up their sleeves.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape called out "Master" very decisively.

Get up.

"Yes."

Seeing the Snow Demon Sky Ape respectfully rise, Xiao Ming thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Now that you've successfully taken human form, you should have a name. Do you have any ideas?"

"Uh, I'm not good at naming things, I don't have any ideas." Snow Demon Sky Ape scratched his head and said honestly.

He had never thought about naming things before, nor was he particularly good at it.

"It won't do if you don't have a name, it'll be hard to address you later. Let me give you one. Your true form is the Snow Demon Sky Ape, so from now on we'll call you Xue Tian. What do you think of that name?"

The name Snow Demon Sky Ape does sound quite good, and he certainly doesn't know how to choose names.

So he scratched his head and laughed, "Sounds good, then from now on I'll be called Xue Tian, hehe."

Seeing that the Snow Demon Sky Ape didn't object to the name he had given it, Xiao Ming chuckled and said to Zi Yan, who seemed quite bored, "It's time to go back to the Inner Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up. Finally, she could go back. She had spent quite a bit of time underground because of this little monkey.

"Let's go quickly."

With that, Zi Yan took the lead and walked back the way she came, signaling the Snow Demon Sky Ape to follow. Xiao Ming also walked in that direction.
