Chapter 146 Treasure Hunt, Real and Fake Earth Core Tempering Milk! [Please Read On]

A dozen minutes later, Xiao Lei and his two companions suddenly noticed a faint white light at the end of the dark passage. Overjoyed, they quickened their pace.

As the three of them moved forward, the white dot gradually enlarged until it became a hole emitting a white light.

Xiao Lei and the other two exchanged a glance, then stepped out.

In an instant, the three of them felt a sudden light in their eyes.

What appeared in the sight of Xiao Lei and the other two was an underground world filled with stalactites.

As far as the eye can see, the milky white stalactites stretch endlessly to the horizon, 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.

"So many stalactites, how are we going to find that Earth Core Tempering Milk..." Qinglin blinked as she looked at the magnificent underground world, somewhat amazed.

Han Yue said softly, "I haven't actually found the exact location of the Earth Core Tempering Milk yet. However, now that the Snow Demon Ape has been killed by Junior Brother Xiao Lei, we can search here at our own pace without worry."

"The Earth Core Tempering Milk is made from the concentrated power of the earth. We can find it by following the places where the power of the earth is abundant," Xiao Lei said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

As he spoke, Xiao Lei released his powerful soul force, sensing the area rich in earth energy, and soon made a discovery.

"Follow me," Xiao Lei instructed, and led the way.

Qinglin and Han Yue followed Xiao Lei without any hesitation.

A few minutes later, the three of them stopped one after another. Above their heads was an enormous stalactite.

This stalactite connects to the top of the mountain at one end and hangs vertically down at the other. Its enormous size is more than a hundred meters long and as thick as two people can hug. A pale white light surrounds it, making it look like a crystal pillar!

This stalactite is undoubtedly the largest in this underground world. Its size makes it seem like the king among stalactites, receiving the worship of countless stalactites around it.

"That's the Earth Core Tempering Milk..." Han Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered to herself.

Xiao Lei and Qing Lin also looked down and discovered that beneath the stalactite was an extremely large blue stone.

Most of the bluestone was buried underground. At this moment, at the top of the bluestone, there was a groove less than half a foot deep, which was directly opposite the tip of the stalactite above.

The groove contained a two-inch-deep layer of milky white liquid, with a faint white mist floating above it. The mist was quite peculiar; no matter how it floated, it never dissipated.

When Qinglin saw the Earth Core Tempering Milk in the groove, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Of the three, only Xiao Lei appeared calm, because he knew that this was just a diluted version of the Earth Core Tempering Milk; the real Earth Core Tempering Milk had not yet appeared before them.

Xiao Lei hesitated for a moment before revealing the secret.

After all, he and Han Yue didn't have a very deep relationship.

Although Han Yue was the first to discover the Earth Core Tempering Milk, Xiao Lei helped her deal with the Snow Demon Ape and even shared the diluted Earth Core Tempering Milk with her, which was already quite good.

As for the real Earth Core Tempering Milk, Han Yue didn't find it, and that's no one else's fault.

"It will probably take a year for this emulsion to solidify into a single drop. I wonder how many years it will take to fill this tiny pit," Han Yue exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the Earth Core Tempering Emulsion in the groove.

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Everyone who sees it gets a share. The three of us will split it equally. Senior Han Yue, you don't have any objections, do you?"

"If it weren't for Junior Brother Xiao Lei, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter this underground cave at all. I'm so grateful that Junior Brother Xiao Lei is willing to give me a share, so naturally I have no objections," Han Yue said softly, gently smoothing the silver hair at her temple.

"Hehe, then let's each take one-third," Xiao Lei chuckled, took out several jade bottles, and handed them to Han Yue and Qing Lin respectively.

The two women took the jade bottle and carefully began to fill it with the Earth Core Tempering Milk from the groove. Xiao Lei also filled it with one-third of the contents without any hesitation.

"Let's go, let's go out," Xiao Lei said with a smile after the spoils were divided.

Han Yue nodded, having no objection. She planned to return as soon as possible to refine and absorb the Earth Core Tempering Milk to enhance her strength.

Qinglin naturally had no objection to Xiao Lei's decision.

Having become familiar with the route, the return journey was much faster than the journey there. Ten minutes later, the three of them were back on the ground.

"I'm preparing to return to the academy. I wonder what your plans are, Junior Brother Xiao Lei and Sister Qing Lin?" Han Yue said to Xiao Lei and Qing Lin after returning to the ground.

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "You and Qing Lin go back first, I'll go back a little later."

Originally, Xiao Lei planned to take Qing Lin with him to collect the real Earth Core Tempering Milk.

However, considering the close relationship between Qinglin and Han Yue, Xiao Lei thought for a moment and decided not to tell Qinglin for the time being, so as not to put Qinglin in a difficult position.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Brother Xiao Lei, aren't you coming back with us?" Qing Lin blinked, somewhat reluctant, upon hearing Xiao Lei's words.

Xiao Lei rubbed Qing Lin's head. "I have some things to do. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, I'll wait for Brother Xiao Lei at the academy," Qing Lin nodded obediently upon hearing this.

Han Yue said goodbye to Xiao Lei, and then returned to Canaan Academy with Qing Lin.

As he watched the two figures disappear from sight, the space around Xiao Lei suddenly distorted.

The next instant, Xiao Lei's figure reappeared beneath the enormous stalactite.

With a slight movement, Xiao Lei flew to the top of the mountain.

Looking down from here, those stalactites that once seemed quite huge now appear to be only the size of ants. Looking around, one can see other stalactites hanging in the mountain sky, their faint light bringing illumination to the entire underground world.

With a slight thought, Xiao Lei took out a jade piece from his storage ring and cut it into the point where the stalactite met the cave wall.

Enveloped in battle aura, the jade piece became extremely sharp, easily cutting a gash in the air. A burst of intense light shot out from the cut.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, Xiao Lei looked into the cut and discovered that inside the stalactite, there was a viscous liquid of emerald color suspended in the air.

The liquid seemed to possess a spirit, slowly swirling within the stalactites, but its movement was confined to the vicinity of the circle's opening, never venturing beyond a single line.

"This is the real Earth Core Tempering Milk..."

Xiao Lei chuckled, took out a jade artifact, collected 90% of the liquid, leaving 10% behind, and then resealed the cut.

"I wonder if this Earth Core Tempering Milk will be of any use to me?" Xiao Lei murmured to himself as he looked at the Earth Core Tempering Milk he had just collected.
