Chapter 218 Earth Core Tempering Milk

"Haha, cousin, this is just a small matter," Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, not caring too much about it.

Then, he prepared to say goodbye. After all, as the protagonist of this banquet, he should not stay here for long, and many guests were waiting for him to celebrate.

Turning around, Xiao Yan walked slowly towards the exit of the courtyard with a leisurely pace.

But just when Xiao Yan's figure was about to disappear at the end of his sight, Xiao Ling suddenly seemed to remember something important and hurriedly called him, "Xiao Yan, wait a moment."

Xiao Yan heard Xiao Ling's call, his footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Xiao Ling with a dazed look, and asked: "What's wrong, cousin? Is there anything else I can help you with?"

As soon as Xiao Yan's question fell, Xiao Ling's mouth curled up a mysterious smile. He whispered, "Xiao Yan, do you remember? I promised you that if you can win the Alchemist Conference, I will give you a reward."

A flash of realization flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he remembered that Xiao Ling had mentioned this promise before. Now that he has won the Alchemist Conference, it is time to receive the unknown surprise.

He turned his eyes to Xiao Ling, and asked with a hint of curiosity and expectation, "Cousin, what gift have you prepared for me?"

Although Xiao Yan did not care much about Xiao Ling's gift, although he knew in his heart that with Xiao Ling's identity and status, the things he took out must be valuable. However, for him, the value of this thought far exceeded the gift itself.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with curiosity, and Xiao Ling felt this expectation, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He nodded gently, and then reached his hand into his storage space, and his soul power shuttled through it like water, accurately capturing the target he was looking for.

As a soft white light flashed, an exquisite white jade porcelain bottle appeared in Xiao Ling's palm, which exuded a soft luster under the sunlight.

Xiao Yan's curiosity was completely ignited, and his eyes were fixed on the porcelain bottle, and he secretly guessed in his heart: What treasure is hidden in this porcelain bottle? Is it a precious elixir, or some other mysterious thing?

He couldn't help his curiosity, and asked with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Cousin, is this the reward you prepared for me? What's in it?" Xiao Yan's question echoed in the air, but Xiao Ling did not give an answer immediately, but asked Xiao Yan with a hint of playfulness: "Have you ever heard of the information about the Earth Core Tempering Milk?"

As an alchemist, Xiao Yan knew all kinds of rare medicinal materials. Hearing Xiao Ling's question, he responded without thinking: "Of course I know about the Earth Core Tempering Milk. It is bred by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It condenses into mist in a hundred years, condenses into liquid in a thousand years, and condenses into milk in ten thousand years. It can temper the bones, cleanse the marrow and strengthen the meridians. Its effect is comparable to those legendary rare elixirs."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, and his voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed: "Cousin, is the gift you are talking about this Earth Core Tempering Milk?"

For ordinary things, Xiao Yan may not care too much, but facing a peerless treasure like the Earth Core Tempering Milk, even he can't help but yearn for it. After all, before this, he only had a written understanding of this legendary spiritual liquid, and it was the first time to see it with his own eyes.

The Earth Core Tempering Milk has the effect of cleansing the meridians and strengthening the marrow. For practitioners, its value is inestimable. It can not only purify impurities in the body, but also improve the qualifications of practitioners, allowing them to go further on the road of cultivation.

Xiao Yan knew that if he could get the Earth Core Tempering Milk, it would undoubtedly be a great help to his cultivation. This spiritual liquid can cleanse the physique and improve the cultivation. It is a treasure that any cultivator dreams of.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes became eager involuntarily, staring at the white jade porcelain bottle in Xiao Ling's hand, as if he could see the spiritual liquid flowing inside through the bottle, and his heart was full of expectations.

Looking at Xiao Yan's face, the fluctuations of emotions were like the tide. Xiao Ling smiled slightly and stopped beating around the bush, but answered directly: "Yes, this is the Earth Core Tempering Milk. I got it by chance many years ago, and now it is not of much use to me, so I will give it to you."

This Earth Core Tempering Milk was obtained by Xiao Ling from a cave guarded by the Snow Demon Sky Ape in the Warcraft Mountains near Canaan College by relying on the advantage of foresight.

The process of Xiao Ling getting this Earth Core Tempering Milk was also quite dramatic. At that time, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Great Fighting Master, and he wanted to use the energy of the Earth Core Tempering Milk to break through the bottleneck.

However, at that time, Xiao Ling and his companions were still at the Great Fighting Master level. To deal with the fifth-level Snow Demon Sky Ape guarding the cave was basically to seek death. Even if Zi Yan was brought along, the strength was slightly worse. After all, Xiao Ling knew that the fifth-level Snow Demon Sky Ape had an ability to increase its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and could compete with some ordinary Dou Huangs.

Xiao Ling originally planned to inform the top management of Canaan Academy of this news. The academy could easily subdue the Snow Demon Sky Ape by sending a few elders. Even if the academy would take a part of it, the rest would be enough for him to use.

But the night before he was about to notify the academy, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er were walking in the back mountain of the academy and accidentally mentioned the matter of the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

However, early the next morning, Xiao Xun'er handed a portion of Earth-Tempering Body Milk to Xiao Ling. At that time, Xiao Ling knew in his heart that Xiao Xun'er must have learned about the Earth-Tempering Body Milk from him. After returning, he sent Ling Ying, a Douhuang peak-level fighter, to get the Earth-Tempering Body Milk.

After getting the Earth-Tempering Body Milk, Xiao Ling first gave a portion to Xiao Xun'er, and then used this magical spiritual liquid to successfully break through to the Douling realm. After the breakthrough, Xiao Ling distributed some of the remaining part to Han Yue and Zi Yan.

After meeting Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, Xiao Ling also used the Earth-Tempering Body Milk to cleanse their essence and marrow.

Now, the bottle of Earth-Tempering Body Milk in his hand is the last of his remaining stock.

Although the Earth-Tempering Body Milk is priceless, it is no longer of much help to Xiao Ling, so he can only give it to Zi Yan as a drink.

Therefore, Xiao Ling planned to give this portion of Earth Core Tempering Milk to Xiao Yan for use. It happened that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Great Dou Master. With the help of the Earth Core Tempering Milk, it would not take long for him to break through the Dou Ling realm.

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the white jade porcelain bottle slowly floated towards Xiao Yan as if being pulled by an invisible line, and finally landed steadily in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly stretched out his hands and tightly grasped the precious white jade bottle.

He could not wait to pull out the bottle stopper and looked inside. There was a milky white liquid in the bottle, and a layer of light white mist floated on it. This white mist was extremely strange, and no matter how it floated, it never dissipated.

Xiao Yan took a light breath, and the white mist was sucked into his lungs. In an instant, he felt that all the bones in his body seemed to be numb, and an unprecedented sense of freshness arose spontaneously.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan put away the white jade bottle, turned around, and said to Xiao Ling with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, cousin, this thing is of great help to me."

Xiao Ling smiled faintly and said: "This is what you deserve. If you hadn't won the championship at the conference, this opportunity would naturally be out of the question."

Xiao Yan nodded, knowing that this gift was not only a recognition of his strength, but also an affirmation of his efforts.

He took a deep breath, a firm light flashed in his eyes, and he swore in his heart that he would live up to this high expectation and continue to move forward on the road of cultivation.

Xiao Ling walked forward lightly, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a relaxed smile: "Haha, don't let them wait anxiously, the banquet over there should have started. As the protagonist, you can't be absent for too long."

Xiao Yan nodded lightly, and then said to Xiao Ling: "Then cousin, I'll go first."

After the voice fell, Xiao Yan turned around and left the quiet courtyard with brisk steps.

Xiao Ling watched Xiao Yan's back until his figure gradually disappeared in the lush green plants and was swallowed by the colors of nature. Xiao Ling's eyes revealed a faint smile, and his heart was full of expectations for Xiao Yan's future.

"I don't know how far Xiao Yan can go in the end..."

...

As the enthusiasm of the Alchemist Conference gradually faded, the hustle and bustle of the Jia Ma Empire also subsided, and it returned to the tranquility of the past. However, under this superficial tranquility, there was an undercurrent, and an unspeakable tension quietly permeated.

Since the news of the Three Kingdoms Alliance reached the ears of some high-ranking officials in the Jia Ma Empire, this tension has been like a hidden undercurrent, quietly spreading in the power center of the empire.

In the streets and alleys of the Jia Ma Empire, ordinary people are still immersed in their own lives, unaware of the upcoming changes.

They chat in teahouses, bargain in the market, children play on the streets, and the elderly enjoy the afternoon sun leisurely under the shade of trees. Their lives are simple and pure. They neither care about nor intervene in the political changes.

But for those high-ranking officials who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Gama Empire, this news is undoubtedly a heavy bomb. Their minds have become complicated and deep. Everyone is secretly calculating and trying to find their own position in this upcoming change.

However, in this tense atmosphere, the high-ranking officials of the Gama Empire have a common plan, which is to start taking out various precious medicinal materials and treasures collected in the family, or arranging powerful subordinates to collect medicinal materials with all their strength, hoping to ask Xiao Ling to refine the desired elixir.

Although Xiao Ling is not the only sixth-grade alchemist in the Gama Empire, Xiao Ling's skills are far beyond the reach of the Dan King Gu He.

Moreover, as a guest elder of the Yunlan Sect, Gu He cannot accept many alchemy commissions.

Xiao Ling is different. During this period of time, as long as people come to Xiao Ling to refine elixirs, they are basically accepted.

Moreover, Xiao Ling has many recipes in his hands. Even some rare elixirs can be refined as long as the materials are complete.

For example, Xiao Ling can easily refine the fifth-grade Douling Pill and the sixth-grade Huangji Pill. This not only saves the trouble of the person seeking medicine to prepare the recipe himself, but also greatly improves the success rate of refining medicine.

Although the price of Xiao Ling's refining elixirs is not cheap, such an opportunity is rare, so there is an endless stream of people who come to ask him to refine medicine.

Xiao Ling always accepts these requests. Seeing the precious medicinal materials and generous rewards pouring into his pocket, he also feels a little satisfied in his heart.

It can be said that the rare medicinal materials and materials collected by the major families of the Jiama Empire over the years have almost been collected by him.

…

In the spacious reception room of Xiao Ling's courtyard, the atmosphere was solemn and peaceful. At this time, two burly men sat side by side on carved wooden chairs. They were the head of the Mu family, Mu Chen, and the commander of the Ghost Gate, Mu Tie.

Mu Chen was calm, but Mu Tie seemed a little anxious. Mu Chen glanced at Mu Tie and said earnestly: "Brother Tie, you can't be so impatient. As a member of the family, you must remain calm outside and not let people look down on us. Don't forget that our family has just given birth to a Dou Wang strongman not long ago, so we naturally have to have the corresponding temperament."

Mu Tie heard Mu Chen's words and realized his own loss of composure. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, clan leader, I can't help it. After all, I have been waiting for this Dou Ling Dan for a long time. According to Master Xiao Ling's speed of refining pills, it should have been refined long ago. There is no news yet, and I am worried that something will go wrong."

Mu Chen smiled slightly and comforted: "Master Xiao Ling's alchemy skills are not exaggerated. He is at ease with the sixth-grade pills, not to mention the fifth-grade Dou Ling Dan. He may be busy with other matters and will come to see us with good news later."

Mu Tie's mood is like a worker waiting for his salary to be paid, full of expectations and a little uneasy.

He knows in his heart that once he gets this Dou Ling Dan, his strength will make a qualitative leap, which will also be a great help to the development of the family.

Mu Tie's uneasiness was not groundless. He was clearly aware that the ambitions of the Three Kingdoms Alliance against the Gama Empire were becoming increasingly apparent, and as the commander-in-chief of the Ghost Pass, he was at the forefront of this potential storm.

Although he had successfully broken through to the Dou Wang realm, in the upcoming war, even a Dou Wang strongman could die on the battlefield due to a momentary negligence. In such a cruel battle, every tiny mistake could be fatal.

Therefore, improving his own strength, for Mu Tie, is not only to enhance his personal ability, but also to increase his survival chips on the battlefield.

Only by constantly strengthening himself can he stand firm in the coming storm, protect himself, protect the Ghost Pass, and even the safety of the entire Gama Empire.
