Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk
Xiao Yan and his two companions entered the cave and, after traversing an extremely winding path, arrived at an underground world filled with stalactites.
As far as the eye can see, endless stalactites of milky white stretch as far as the eye can see, emanating a pale white light that dispels all 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.
Ignoring the stalactites around her, Zi Yan walked straight to a recessed area in the distance where a faint white mist was floating.
"Why does it seem a bit weak?" Zi Yan wrinkled her nose, looking at the grooves on the bluestone, and asked with great confusion.
She clearly had a very strong feeling, but what she saw with her own eyes was very different from what she had felt.
Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment and said, "There are real and fake Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk. This is just a fake one. The real one..."
As she spoke, Xiao Xun'er raised her head and looked up at the tip of the enormous stalactite. "The real Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk should be on top of it."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xun'er with some surprise. "It seems that all the books you've been reading haven't been in vain."
"The one who knows the most about rare and precious materials is the art of alchemy. Xun'er is just showing off her limited skills before an expert," Xiao Xun'er said somewhat embarrassedly.
Looking at the stalactites hundreds of meters away, Zi Yan's dark eyes sparkled like stars, and she exclaimed in realization, "So that's where all the good stuff is. No wonder I felt the treasure was huge, but what I saw was actually quite small. It's been hidden really well."
"But how are we supposed to get it from such a height?" Zi Yan turned to look at Xiao Yan. "If only there were a Dou Wang expert here."
"It's not necessarily necessary to have Dou Wang expert." Xiao Yan waved his hand at Zi Yan and Xiao Xun'er, signaling them to step back.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan stopped with one foot, and a platform of ice suddenly condensed on the ground.
Following that, the icy platform seemed to come alive, slowly rising up.
A moment later, the platform reached a height of over 100 meters.
Xiao Yan looked at the crystal-like stalactite base, twirled his fingers in his Storage Ring, took out a jade piece, and carefully began to dig.
After retrieving a portion of the Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk, Xiao Yan slowly lowered the ice's height and returned to the ground.
This Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk is different from plant-based medicinal materials. Even with his experience as Ninth-Rank Alchemist, Xiao Yan has no way to accelerate its production, as it is inexhaustible.
"This is the Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk..." Looking at the thing in Xiao Yan's hand, Zi Yan pursed her cherry lips, almost drooling.
Xiao Yan said, "The Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk already contains a huge amount of energy. If we use some medicine to harmonize it, the effect will be even greater."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out the medicine cauldron and some medicinal herbs, and began to busy himself with his work.
Watching Xiao Yan refine the medicine, Zi Yan, though eager to eat it, had no choice but to suppress her desire and stand aside with Xiao Xun'er to wait.
After a while, Xiao Yan upgraded the Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk with effortless skill.
Having personally experienced his current alchemy abilities, Xiao Yan was truly astonished.
Unless he's refining a seventh-grade pill that can attract Pill Lightning, if he has enough pills to restore his Dou Qi, refining a sixth-grade pill shouldn't be a problem for him now.
Each of them received a bottle, and Xiao Yan and the other two each took out a wooden bucket and began soaking their bodies in the medicinal liquid.
Even before he began cultivating, Xiao Yan could feel the abundant energy entering his body at a considerable speed as he immersed himself in the seven-colored liquid.
Zi Yan and Xiao Xun'er felt similarly, but they didn't have Xiao Yan's terrifying physical abilities. The abundant energy made them feel numb and itchy all over, as if countless ants were crawling on their bodies.
The two gritted their teeth and immediately began to circulate their internal energy.
Seeing that the two had entered a meditative state, Xiao Yan did not delay any longer. He formed a hand seal and immediately began to circulate the Mid Earth Tier Flame Mantra Technique.
As Xiao Yan began to circulate his cultivation technique, countless energies within the liquid were forcibly drawn up, surging wildly into Xiao Yan's body like a raging torrent.
Xiao Yan's body, however, is like a bottomless black hole, easily absorbing any amount of energy.
A moment later, Xiao Yan dripped another drop of the refined, upgraded Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk onto himself and entered a state of cultivation once more.
After repeating this process eight times, Xiao Yan's aura rapidly increased, and his recently broken level began to show signs of weakening again.
The surge in energy lasted for more than ten minutes before the upward momentum gradually subsided.
When everything calmed down, Xiao Yan's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them.
At this moment, his urchin-shaped Dou Crystal had shrunk one tentacle, reaching the level of Two-Star Dou Ling.
After tidying up, Xiao Yan waited for a while before Xiao Xun'er and Zi Yan finished their cultivation.
However, given Zi Yan's physique Ancient Void Dragon, even the enhanced energy of the Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk did not allow Zi Yan to grow to the point where she could transform between human and beast.
Even though her strength had increased considerably, Zi Yan was still quite frustrated.
This did not surprise Xiao Yan. Transforming Zi Yan into a magical beast was relatively simple, but making her grow larger would be the real challenge.
Unless it's something Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, which is extremely rare even in the history of the Ancient Void Dragon, it can only be allowed to grow slowly over time.
The lifespan of the Ancient Void Dragon in the Warcraft universe is even longer. Since Zi Yan is currently in her infancy, she will remain in the form of a little girl for a long time.
After leaving the cave, Xiao Yan reached out and patted the ice on the Snow Demon Sky Ape, breaking the ice seal on the magical beast.
Then, while the Snow Demon Sky Ape was in a daze, Xiao Yan tossed it a bottle of refined Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk.
This Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk is far superior to the Fake Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk that the Snow Demon Sky Ape enjoyed. With the Snow Demon Sky Ape's bloodline, it is highly likely that after undergoing the cleansing and purification of its Super Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk, the time required to advance to the Tier Six Magical Beast will be significantly shortened.
After leaving the beast to continue protecting the stalactite cave, Xiao Yan and his companions left the valley.
Given the nature of this beast, it will not kill unless it is pushed to the limit. And given the current state of the Earthheart Body-Tempering Milk, it will be difficult to produce a usable amount again in less than several hundred or even thousands of years. Only long-lived magical beasts can protect this place.
After leaving the valley, Xiao Yan did not rush to leave. Instead, he and Xiao Xun'er, under the guidance of Zi Yan, obtained some rare medicinal herbs to cultivate back at their residence.
