Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 75 Earth Core Tempering Milk

Beneath the endless, desolate mountains, in an unnamed valley, as the massive dust mushroom cloud dissipated, several faint human figures slowly emerged.

At this moment, one of the small figures was no longer as energetic as before. After hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Feng did not ask any questions. He simply took out a few Grade 3 healing pills from his storage ring and flicked them into the mouth of the Snow Demon Ape.

Then, to Zi Yan's bewildered gaze, he unleashed a stream of battle qi, knocking the Snow Demon Ape unconscious.

"We're going to take away the spiritual object it's been guarding for years. If it's still conscious, it might fight us to the death."

Upon hearing Lin Feng mention the spirit creature, Zi Yan immediately forgot her previous feelings and rushed over to take Lin Feng's hand, intending to lead him to the place where the spirit creature that had given her such a strong feeling was located.

Seeing Zi Yan recover from her low spirits, Lin Feng smiled and flicked his arm, setting up a Five Elements Barrier in the valley. Although the powerful battle just now must have driven away the surrounding demonic beasts, setting up a barrier as a precaution was still worthwhile.

"Tap, tap, tap"

As they slowly walked through the damp stalactite cave, a chilling aura swept over them. Fortunately, both of them were physically strong enough that they didn't feel anything unusual.

"Bang!"

After sensing that the air in the stalactite cave was circulating with the outside world, several differently colored beast fires rose from Lin Feng's palm, instantly revealing the beauty of this natural creation to the two of them.

"Drip drip drip"

The intermittent sound of dripping water seemed to tell Lin Feng that the stalactites here were still growing. He gently picked up a stalactite. It was indeed hard, much more solid than ordinary stalactites in his previous life, thanks to the enhancement of his battle qi. Without the strength of a battle master, he couldn't cause any damage to this place.

However, the place wasn't very large. After walking for a while, even Lin Feng sensed a huge energy aggregate appearing. At this moment, Zi Yan's tears were streaming down her face. If Lin Feng hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have already rushed away.

However, with the spirit creature in front of him, Lin Feng didn't have much patience, so he strode quickly toward where the spirit creature was.

A colossal stalactite, connecting heaven and earth, stood before the two, roughly estimated to be at least a hundred meters tall. The surrounding stalactites seemed to possess sentience as well; closer inspection revealed that they were all bowing in reverence to this enormous king of stalactites.

At the base of the massive stalactite, a milky-white droplet emanating a rich aura of energy dripped down intermittently. Before Lin Feng could observe it closely, Zi Yan, who had been gripping Lin Feng's hand, broke free and swiftly lunged towards the groove in the massive blue stone.

He kept repeating, "Mine, mine, all mine! Eating this will make me grow up quickly!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't stop her. The stalactite liquid below was just a diluted product; the real stalactites were still hidden deep inside. Thinking of this, Lin Feng was wondering why Zi Yan hadn't sensed the true spiritual object above.

But then Zi Yan, with a trace of something still on her lips, raised her head and said to him with great pleasure.

"Hehehe, Lin Feng, don't you dare say I'm eating alone. *burp*"

After letting out a satisfied burp, Zi Yan wiped her mouth and continued.

"The stalactites below are just the tip of my tongue in my perception. The real big ones are still above. I'll take you there now."

Seeing Zi Yan's adorable appearance, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. He also spread his battle qi wings and flew up with Zi Yan. After reaching the top, Lin Feng stopped Zi Yan from trying to force her way out. Under her confused gaze, he took out a jade ruler and gently drew a line across the extremely crystal-clear stalactite.

Instantly, a white mist emanated from within, its intense energy fluctuations far exceeding those of the diluted stalactite below. This caused Zi Yan's lips to well up with tears again; had she not known she was to share it with Lin Feng, she probably would have already stuck her head inside for a hearty meal.

Knowing Zi Yan's urgency, Lin Feng didn't do much. He took out several jade bottles and waved his hand at the stalactite liquid inside, which immediately floated slowly into the bottles. After only a shallow layer remained, Lin Feng stopped. It was a rule for alchemists that one should not take all the rare and precious materials, and leave a glimmer of hope for everything.

Just as Lin Feng was explaining things to Zi Yan, he noticed that the little cutie's eyes were fixed on the jade bottle in his hand. Although she kept nodding her head, he didn't know how much she had actually listened to.

"When we get back, I'll prepare it again with medicinal herbs to maximize its effects, and I'll also add your favorite candy flavor."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Zi Yan recalled the slightly bitter taste of the stalactite liquid and then thought of the sweet pill. With great willpower, she turned her head slightly away, refusing to look at the tempting jade bottle.

After looking around at the magnificent natural wonders, Lin Feng greeted Zi Yan and flew out of the cave first.

As the two flew past the Snow Demon Sky Ape, they found that its extremely miserable appearance, covered in scars and bleeding profusely, had disappeared, and its aura had slightly recovered. Without lingering, it accelerated and shot towards the sky.

In the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, within a fragrant garden filled with birdsong, Lin Feng stood under a tree, stroking his chin as he pondered how to maximize the effects of the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

The inheritance given by the old medicine master does contain instructions on how to use the Earth Core Tempering Milk, but Lin Feng intends to further expand its effects of cleansing essence and marrow to enhance physical fitness and boost the cultivation of battle qi.

After all, the two people who are going to use this spiritual object are not only at a higher level than Xiao Yan in the original story, but also have much stronger physiques. Therefore, they cannot use the same method, as that would inevitably lead to a waste of this spiritual object.

"I've got it! Let's do it this way!"

Lin Feng clapped his hands, as if he had a good idea, and then disappeared from the spot, rushing towards the secret chamber.

The familiar six-cauldron appeared in the secret chamber. Lin Feng took out the medicinal materials for refining the Body Strengthening Elixir, but he enhanced them according to the principles of pharmacology. After all, he was now a first-level Dou Wang, and the Body Strengthening Elixir he had created might be useless to him now.

"It's a pity, but we used up all the monkey wine in order to break through. Otherwise, if we had added monkey wine, which also has the effect of strengthening the body, the effect would have been even better."

After the flames burned in the cauldron for half an hour, Lin Feng easily refined the enhanced body-strengthening liquid, and then took out a large wooden bucket filled with water that he had prepared beforehand.

After mixing the body-strengthening liquid and the earth-core tempering milk in a certain ratio, Lin Feng poured them into the wooden tub, then stripped naked and quickly jumped into the tub. He sat cross-legged, crossed his legs at his dantian, and began another round of cultivation.

Time flies, and many withered leaves have fallen from the big trees in Lin Feng's courtyard. A small white figure has come and gone several times, but Lin Feng has never come out of seclusion.

She couldn't help but lightly kick the entrance to Lin Feng's door, then sat alone in the pavilion, propping her head up with her hands, sulking.

"That wretched Lin Feng, that stinky Lin Feng! Not only did he not give me the promised pills, but he also went into seclusion for so long. Humph, when you come out, you'll have to refine tons and tons of pills for me, or I won't forgive you!"

Normally, she would have already gone into the mountains to search for treasures, but after making Lin Feng her friend, she couldn't help but want to come here. After waiting for a while, Zi Yan couldn't help but feel slightly discouraged; it seemed she still wouldn't be able to see Lin Feng this time.

However, just as Zi Yan took small steps, preparing to leave this place and head into the mountains to find spiritual herbs so that she could grow quickly and get rid of the damned Transformation Grass's influence.

A violent energy fluctuation emanated from Lin Feng's secluded chamber, but it dissipated upon touching Lin Feng's courtyard, as Lin Feng had already set up the all-encompassing Five Elements Barrier.

"Whoosh"

To Zi Yan's delight, a figure suddenly flew to the sky above the courtyard and slowly hovered there.

"Finally, a four-star Dou Wang!"
