Gu He recalled the description of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk and headed toward an area rich in earth-attributed energy.

At the top of the bluestone was a shallow indentation less than half a foot deep, positioned directly beneath the pointed tip of the stalactite above. Half a drop of milky-white liquid hovered at the stalactite's tip without falling.

After putting away the jade bottles, Gu He did not take any more. After all, it was merely diluted Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, like what Teng Shan had once given Xiao Yi Xian.
