Chapter 83: Xue Tian

After waiting for Zi Yan's mood to recover for a while, Xiao Ming said.

"Since you are sure that the Core Quenching Body Milk is here, step aside for a moment and let me pick it up."

"Oh!" Zi Yan nodded and quickly flew to Xiao Ming's side, but her eyes remained locked on the position she had just been in, unable to avert them.

Xiao Ming flew to where Zi Yan had just been, and his soul power surged from his eyebrows, probing the exact location of the Core Quenching Body Milk before pulling out a good piece of white jade from his storage ring with a smile on his lips.

He wrapped Dou Qi around the surface of the jade piece before using it to gently cut along the point he had just probed.

With the Dou Qi enveloping it, the jade piece became quite sharp, and with just a light touch, the tip of the jade piece sank into the crystal stalactite with a subtle sound.

With his palm firmly gripping the jade piece, Xiao Ming made precise circular cuts, and the subtle sound of 'chi chi' resounded in the air.

'Ka...' Suddenly, the jade piece in his hand completed the last section of the circle, and instantly, a circular stalactite fragment broke off from the base.

Xiao Ming grabbed it in one swift movement and lifted his head, and a strong light shot violently out from where the fragment had fallen.

This level of light had little effect on Xiao Ming, who was able to look directly into the cut circular opening.

Inside the cut circular stalactite, there was a thick emerald-colored liquid suspended.

As if it had a spiritual nature, this liquid flowed slowly into the stalactite, but its range of motion was only around the circular opening, going no further.

The pure energy contained in this emerald-colored viscous liquid was quite astonishing to Xiao Ming, as the purity was more than ten times denser than the Core Quenching Body Milk in the bluestone hollow below, and much more than ordinary heavenly treasures.

With the appearance of the Core Quenching Body Milk, the rich and gentle fragrance drifted away, and Zi Yan beside him closed her eyes, revealing an intoxicated look as her body unconsciously moved to the front of the Core Quenching Body Milk, her mouth opened wide, and Xiao Ming seemed to see a hint of crystalline silk coming out from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Zi Yan opening her mouth, about to lick the liquid, Xiao Ming immediately extended his right hand against her little head.

"Eh!?"

After extending her delicate little tongue and taking a few licks, Zi Yan, who felt that she had licked nothing but air, let out a sound of surprise and opened her eyes.

Once she saw the situation clearly, she turned her head towards Xiao Ming with a pitiful expression, obviously, Core Quenching Body Milk was a great temptation for her.

But Xiao Ming did not let her go, he just rubbed her little head and said helplessly.

"Don't look at me like that, this real Core Quenching Body Milk is extremely fragile, only the hottest jade won't damage it, if you touch it with other objects, I'm afraid this Core Quenching Body Milk, which has been condensed for many years, will turn into a pile of useless junk on the spot."

"So, if you lick it now, you can imagine the result, so you must wait for me to collect it before you take your share."

"Then take it quickly!".

Hearing this, Zi Yan stepped back slightly and urged Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly and took out a spoon made of jade from his storage ring, as an alchemist, jade was the best container to hold pills, so he also had all kinds of jade utensils stored in his storage ring.

Xiao Ming carefully inserted the jade spoon into the stalactite milk, nimbly turning his wrist and scooping up most of the Core Quenching Body Milk in a few minutes.

After leaving a small amount of the Core Quenching Body Milk, Xiao Ming took out the jade spoon and then replaced the stalactite fragment in his hand, and immediately, the strong light gradually diminished and the stalactite was once again as calm as before.

After pouring the liquid that was in the jade spoon evenly into two good quality jade bottles that had been prepared long ago, Xiao Ming then handed one of the jade bottles to Zi Yan.

"Here, your share, this Core Quenching Body Milk contains the power of the earth that has been condensed in this stalactite for thousands of years, the energy is immense, drink it calmly, don't drink it all at once, understand?".

"Understood." Zi Yan took the jade bottle and replied with a smile.

She lifted the jade bottle and poured a drop into her mouth, her pink tongue licked it with a satisfied smile. "It's delicious!".

Obviously, this Core Quenching Body Milk tasted much better compared to those medicinal herbs.

Seeing her cheerful look, Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head.

'Only a magical beast would dare to drink this Core Quenching Body Milk like that, if an ordinary human took a sip like that, they would probably explode immediately.'

After signaling Zi Yan to fly down from the dome, Xiao Ming once again landed next to that blue stone and looked towards the milky white liquid in that hole.

Although this Core Quenching Body Milk had already been diluted, its effect was quite good, even if it couldn't achieve the effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the bones, it still had a considerable effect on tempering the body.

When four jade jars were filled, there was no longer much Core Quenching Body Milk left in the hole.

The Snow Sky Demon Ape beside looked at Xiao Ming gloomily as he picked up the Core Quenching Body Milk that originally belonged to him, his inner heart was overwhelmed with pain and he felt the urge to scream.

But when he thought of his opponent's terrifying strength and the Body Transformation Grass he had promised, he held back the pain in his heart and turned his head to the side, averting his gaze.

The Snow Sky Demon Ape had just turned his head for an instant when he heard Xiao Ming's voice.

"This is the Body Transformation Grass, swallow it now and I will protect you."

These words made the Snow Sky Demon Ape happy, and much of the pain he felt vanished.

When he turned his head, it was when he directly saw a medicinal herb with a tantalizing and strange aroma suspended in front of him.

When the Snow Sky Demon Ape smelled the fragrance, it was as if every cell in his body perked up and jumped for joy.

"The Body Transformation Grass is not like the Body Transformation Pill, it's not that easy to transform successfully, and it will even be dangerous, it's up to you whether you can succeed or not." Xiao Ming looked at the Snow Sky Demon Ape and said.

The Snow Sky Demon Ape nodded slightly at his words and, without much hesitation, opened his own bloody mouth and swallowed the Body Transformation Grass that seemed abnormally small in front of him.

"Roar!"

The Snow Sky Demon Ape, which had not swallowed the Body Transformation Grass for a long time, seemed to be extremely uncomfortable, with his mouth constantly roaring, his huge sharp claws constantly striking his chest, and the size of his body increasing and decreasing.

Zi Yan, at Xiao Ming's side, saw this scene and gloated a little, "Hmph, this Body Transformation Grass is not that easy to swallow, I remember when I..."

Halfway through, Zi Yan suddenly fell silent and did not say anything else.

"How were you back then?" Xiao Ming, who was at the side, asked curiously.

"Something like that, I won't tell you." Zi Yan grimaced.

...

Half an hour later, there was a white-haired young man standing in front of Xiao Ming.

The man had a stocky figure, over two meters tall, and the set of black robes he was wrapped in was bulging.

This was the Snow Sky Demon Ape who had successfully transformed.

The transformation process was exceptionally difficult, and several times the Snow Sky Demon Ape was on the verge of failing and losing all his efforts, but in the end, he persevered.

Looking at his hands, the Snow Sky Demon Ape shouted excitedly and knelt down in front of Xiao Ming, respectfully saying.

"Master!"

"Mm." Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction, compared to humans, magical beasts were much simpler and grateful.

The Snow Sky Demon Ape called him master in a very clear manner.

"Get up."

"Yes."

Looking at the Snow Sky Demon Ape that had respectfully stood up, Xiao Ming thought for a moment and then said.

"Since you have successfully transformed, you should also have a name, do you have any ideas?"

"Eh, I can't think of a name, so I have no idea." Snow Sky Demon Ape scratched his head and said nervously.

He hadn't really thought about things like having a name before, nor was he very good at it.

"You can't be without a name or it won't be easy to call you in the future, I'll help you with one, your original body is Snow Sky Demon Ape, so you will be called Xue Tian in the future, how about this name?"

Snow Sky Demon Ape thought it was a good name, and he really didn't know how to choose a name.

So he scratched his head and smiled, "Sounds good, then I'll be called Xue Tian from now on, hehe."

Seeing that the Snow Sky Demon Ape did not resist the name he had given him, Xiao Ming laughed lightly and said to Zi Yan, who looked bored beside him, "It's time to go back to the Inner Academy!"

Hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, she could finally go back, for this little ape, she had spent a long time in this subterranean world.

"Let's go quickly."

Zi Yan said as she took the lead and flew towards the direction they came from, gesturing for "Xue Tian" to follow her, Xiao Ming also flew to the same direction.
