Preparation

After collecting the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, the matter of the stalactite Underground World was complete. Lin Ming took in the beautiful scenery once more, then flapped his Purple Crystal Wings and headed back towards the entrance he had come from.

After entering the passage and knowing the situation inside, Lin Ming moved towards the entrance at an extremely fast speed. In no time, Lin Ming returned to the cave.

As soon as Lin Ming emerged from the passage, he heard the enormous roar of the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

A short while later, Lin Ming, who was in the cave, suddenly felt the ground shake. Lin Ming felt that the shaking was caused by the movement of the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

The tremor can be felt even inside the cave, which means the Snow Demon Sky Ape must have entered the cave.

This startled Lin Ming. In this cave, which the Snow Demon Sky Ape could block with its body, Lin Ming had no good way to resist.

Furthermore, Zi Yan was outside fighting the Snow Demon Sky Ape. Now that the Snow Demon Sky Ape has returned to its cave, what is Zi Yan's current situation?

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Lin Ming's unusual vibrations did not recur, Lin Ming tense heart relaxed a little.

However, with his earlier worries in mind, Lin Ming quickened his pace as he left the cave.

After only a short while of Cultivation Method, a sliver of light appeared at the front of Lin Ming's pitch-black cave. Lin Ming knew he would soon be able to leave the cave.

As they approached the cave entrance, Lin Ming extended his Soul Power to sense the outside of the cave.

Under Lin Ming's Soul Power perception, after sensing that everything around the cave entrance was normal, Lin Ming arrived at the cave entrance as quickly as possible, and his Purple Crystal Wings instantly unfolded, pulling Lin Ming into the sky.

Once high in the air, Lin Ming looked down at the valley below.

At this moment, a small figure stood at the front of the valley, hands on hips. In front of this figure, a huge ape sat slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Lin Ming's anxiety was completely relieved.

Judging from her appearance, Zi Yan must have been dealing with the Snow Demon Sky Ape from beginning to end.

"Alright, Zi Yan, let's go!" Lin Ming called out.

"You stinky monkey, you're lucky today, hmph!" Zi Yan said fiercely to the Snow Demon Sky Ape after hearing Lin Ming's call.

After being beaten for half a day, the Snow Demon Sky Ape saw that Zi Yan was finally leaving and tried to stand up. However, after being glared at by Zi Yan, it dared not move an inch.

Seeing the Snow Demon Sky Ape in this state, Zi Yan nodded in satisfaction, unfurled her Dou Qi Wings, and flew into the sky to reunite with Lin Ming.

During the flight, Lin Ming gave half of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk to Zi Yan. After receiving the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, Zi Yan's smile was exceptionally radiant.

By the time they returned to the Inner Academy, it was already late at night, so Lin Ming and Zi Yan went back to their respective lodgings.

After returning to the Medicine Gang, Lin Ming went to his room.

In the center of the room, there was a large wooden barrel. This barrel was the one Lin Ming used to absorb the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk.

Although Lin Ming's physical strength had reached that of Tier 3 Magical Beast thanks to the enhancement from cultivating the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, the energy in the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk was formed from the Earth Power over tens of thousands of years.

Such immense energy was something even Lin Ming physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary humans, dared not directly consume. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of improving cultivation; he might end up with shattered meridians.

Leaving aside the oral administration of the Earth Core Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, even just dripping it into the wooden tub and immersing Lin Ming in it for absorption, Lin Ming planned to use some medicinal herbs to neutralize the energy of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk and make it gentler, just in case.

However, Lin Ming's physical strength was already comparable to that of Tier 3 Magical Beast, so he didn't need to use dozens of medicinal herbs to neutralize the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, as Xiao Yan did in the original novel.

For Lin Ming, there was only one simple formula for Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, while Xiao Yan had the Old Yao, who was known as the Number One Alchemist of the Continent. Although this title was somewhat exaggerated, Old Yao's knowledge and experience were definitely extensive, which is why he was able to produce a formula for Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk composed of dozens of medicinal herbs.

Secondly, even if Lin Ming had the prescription from the Old Yao, Lin Ming didn't intend to use it.

The Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk has miraculous effects of Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining. After mastering the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, Lin Ming's physical strength has now reached the level of Tier 3 Magical Beast.

Excessive neutralization of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk make its energy more moderate, but it also diminishes its Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining effects.

Therefore, the simple formula for Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk that Lin Ming currently has is just right. It can achieve the effect of Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining, without damaging the meridians due to excessive energy.

Lin Ming poured water into the wooden bucket until it reached halfway up the bucket, then stopped pouring.

Lin Ming took the three Jade Bottle out of his Storage Ring. Looking at the three Jade Bottle, Lin Ming first removed the stoppers from two of Jade Bottle, then turned the bottles upside down, and the liquid inside poured out of the Jade Bottle into the wooden bucket.

As the liquid from the two Jade Bottle entered the wooden barrel, a hazy mist formed above the barrel.

The liquid in these two Jade Bottle is the Diluted Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk that Lin Ming initially collected. Since Lin Ming is now going to soak and absorb the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk in the wooden barrel, it's essentially diluting the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, so using some of the already diluted Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk is perfectly fine.

Seeing the misty vapor forming inside the wooden tub, Lin Ming nodded in satisfaction. Even Diluted Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk contained pure energy, which caused the mist to appear inside the tub.

Without further delay, Lin Ming opened the last Jade Bottle he was still holding. Inside Jade Bottle, a jade-like liquid, resembling jelly, seemed to wriggle as if it were alive.

The bottle was tilted downwards, and the jade-like, Pure Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk dripped down the bottle, into the wooden bucket, and dissolved into the clear water.

After pouring out more than half of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk from the Jade Bottle, leaving only one-third of Jade Bottle, Lin Ming turned Jade Bottle upside down, re-corked the bottle, and put it into his Storage Ring.

At this moment, the originally clear and transparent water in the wooden bucket turned completely emerald green.

The Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk has already been dissolved into the water in the wooden tub. Next, the neutralizing medicinal herbs will be refined and added to the tub to neutralize the massive energy of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk. Then, Lin Ming can enter the tub to begin his cultivation and officially start his breakthrough.

Without delay, Lin Ming took out a small, red-colored herb shaped like an incense stick from his Storage Ring. This herb was one of the medicinal materials Lin Ming used to neutralize the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, and it was called Candle Grass.

After Lin Ming took the Candle Grass out of his Storage Ring, a ball of blue flame with a golden core rose out of thin air from his palm.

After the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire appeared, Lin Ming put the Candle Grass he had taken out into the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire and began to refine it.

Now it's just a simple extraction of a few medicinal herbs. With Lin Ming's current alchemy skills, which allow him to refine Tier 5 Medicinal Pill, the extraction speed of just a few herbs is hardly affected by not Medicinal Cauldron. So Lin Ming started extracting them directly.

After entering the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, the Candle Grass quickly withered from its vibrant state. As the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire continued to roast and refine it, the Candle Grass eventually turned into a drop of red liquid, which Lin Ming then dropped into the wooden barrel.

After the red liquid obtained from refining the Candle Grass entered the wooden barrel, the emerald-colored water at the top of the barrel also subtly changed, turning towards a dark red.

Lin Ming didn't notice the brief changes inside the wooden barrel. After refining the Candle Grass and putting it into the barrel, Lin Ming began refining the next medicinal herb.

After completing the refining process once more, Lin Ming put the refined medicinal herbs back into the wooden barrel.

After repeating this process six times, Lin Ming stopped.

Because Lin Ming's simplified recipe for the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk only requires six kinds of medicinal herbs. And in the time just now, Lin Ming finished refining all six kinds of medicinal herbs and put them into the wooden barrel.

At this point, the water in the wooden bucket, which was originally the color of jade, has become much lighter in color.

Although the emerald-like liquid inside the wooden barrel had become a little lighter in color, its energy had not diminished at all. In fact, thanks to the medicinal herbs Lin Ming had added during the refining process, the energy within it had become even more potent.

After the medicinal ingredients for Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk were refined and added to the wooden barrel, Lin Ming knew it was time for him to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

The first level of the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique, equivalent to Yellow Tier High-grade cultivation Cultivation Method, is no longer sufficient for Lin Ming, who is at the Da Dou Shi level and about to reach the Dou Ling level, in terms of cultivation speed, the amount of Dou Qi stored, and the speed of Dou Qi recovery.

Now, when Lin Ming refines pills of the Fourth-Order or higher, he always has to rest midway to recover his Dou Qi after refining the medicinal materials because he is short of Dou Qi.

Now, the hope for improvement is within reach.

Once Lin Ming breaks through to the Dou Ling, in addition to the improvement in his cultivation, he will also be able to begin cultivating the second level of Cultivation Method <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>.

The second level of the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art can at least reach the level of Xuan Tier Profound Rank Cultivation Method. This can greatly solve Lin Ming's current shortcomings in Cultivation Method.

Furthermore, the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk also has the effect of Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining. Now, Lin Ming's physical strength is similar to his cultivation level. Lin Ming's cultivation level is at the level of Nine-star Dou Grandmaster, while the strength of Lin Ming's body has almost reached the level of a top -Third-Order Magical Beasts.

Lin Ming had a premonition that after undergoing the Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, in addition to advancing his cultivation level, his physical strength would also reach the level of Tier 4 Magical Beast, just like advancing in rank.

Thinking of the joyous occasion of these three blessings arriving at once, Lin Ming smiled as he took off his clothes, entered the wooden tub, and began to cultivate cross-legged.
