Chapter 111: Abundant Harvest! Each Gets What They Deserve!
Xiao Ze activated his Dou Qi Wings and slowly ascended to the tip of the stalactite.
He took out a jade tool and began cutting along the edge of the tip.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, a burst of emerald green light shone through.
Unaffected, Xiao Ze swiftly grabbed the severed section of the stalactite.
Squinting slightly, he looked at the Earth Core Body Forging Milk contained within the stalactite.
A mass of liquid, resembling jade, floated in the void.
The energy emitted was far stronger than the milky white Earth Core Body Forging Milk below!
"Such rich energy. I wonder how many years it has been nurtured within the earth."
Xiao Ze retrieved the jade tool. This Earth Core Body Forging Milk was extremely precious; once contaminated, it would immediately turn into waste liquid. Only the purest jade tool could contain it.
Xiao Ze stopped after taking most of it; he had no intention of depleting this precious natural treasure entirely.
Because once this mass of jade-like liquid was completely taken, the gigantic stalactite would collapse instantly.
It would be a pity to destroy this place that had nurtured the Earth Core Body Forging Milk for who knows how many years.
After carefully storing away the Earth Core Body Forging Milk, Xiao Ze reattached the severed section of the stalactite.
After a while, the stalactite spontaneously healed, leaving Xiao Ze marveling at the wonders of nature.
"The effects of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk are extraordinary... especially for body forging..."
Xiao Ze pondered.
What Zi Yan sought was merely the energy of the spiritual medicine to help her grow faster.
The body-forging effect of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk might just be icing on the cake for her.
But if Xiao Xun'er were to consume it, the body-forging effect would be excellent!
He considered whether to exchange his collected herbs with Zi Yan for her share of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk.
But he couldn't bring himself to selfishly claim the entire Earth Core Body Forging Milk. After all, they had agreed to split it evenly.
Decision made, Xiao Ze descended slowly.
Arriving at the diluted Earth Core Body Forging Milk, he filled three jade bottles for future alchemy use.
Only a shallow puddle of the diluted Earth Core Body Forging Milk remained in the groove of the bluestone.
After completing all this, Xiao Ze left the underground world.
This time, seizing the Earth Core Body Forging Milk unexpectedly went smoothly.
However, the one who contributed the most wasn't him but Zi Yan, who was still battling the demon ape.
He signaled to Zi Yan, and the demon ape, in a state of bloodthirsty rage, noticed something amiss and turned to look at Xiao Ze.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ze had already vanished from the demon ape's sight with his layered Cloud Wing Dou Qi.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zi Yan also left quickly.
Leaving the demon ape raging impotently in its secret place, destroying everything around it in madness.
At the waterfall deep in the mountains, Xiao Ze waited for a while until a purple light shot towards him, transforming into Zi Yan's figure.
"How did it go? Did you succeed?"
"Yeah!"
Xiao Ze nodded, looking at Zi Yan's expectant face. However, he quickly noticed the bruises and swelling on her arm.
"Are you alright?"
Zi Yan was taken aback by Xiao Ze's words. What could possibly be wrong with her? Didn't she already come back?
Following Xiao Ze's gaze, she looked at her arm, feeling somewhat awkward as she shook her head.
"I'm fine, just some minor injuries. They'll heal in a while. I've been through worse when I was little."
Seeing Zi Yan pretending to be tough, Xiao Ze immediately took out a bottle of healing pills.
"Even if you can heal on your own, it must be painful now. Here, take these healing pills."
"Mm."
Zi Yan silently took the bottle and poured the pills into her mouth.
Watching Zi Yan swallow a dozen or so pills in one go, Xiao Ze's mouth twitched slightly.
Dealing with Zi Yan meant adapting to her terrifying constitution, which was different from that of an ordinary person!
"It doesn't taste like anything, not delicious at all."
After finishing the pills, Zi Yan stuck out her tongue.
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes. "You think these are those tasty pellets? These are genuine pills, they definitely don't taste good."
"Xiao Ze... Thank you. No one has ever cared about me like this since I was little."
After a moment of silence, Zi Yan lowered her head and said to Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze smiled and patted Zi Yan's head.
Zi Yan had grown up in the deep mountains, and after coming to the inner courtyard, because of her special nature, the other students were afraid of her.
Zi Yan yearned for both family affection and friendship.
This made her very attached to people she accepted.
Like when she later met the Queen Medusa, she would pester her every day with all sorts of trivial matters.
"Of course, we're friends, partners, and comrades who fight side by side!"
Xiao Ze said with a smile, making Zi Yan smile too.
"Alright, alright, my injuries are getting better. What good stuff did we get this time? Show me."
Zi Yan couldn't bear the sentimental atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.
Thinking of their harvest this time, Xiao Ze also smiled slightly. He waved his hand, and four jade bottles appeared on the stone table.
"One bottle contains the genuine Earth Core Body Forging Milk, and the other three contain the diluted version..."
Xiao Ze explained the situation of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk, leaving Zi Yan wide-eyed in surprise.
Seeing Zi Yan's satisfied expression, Xiao Ze walked over and patted her shoulder.
"Thanks to having you around. It's you alchemists who understand herbs better."
Seeing Zi Yan about to touch his head, Xiao Ze quickly stopped her.
"Alright, stop messing around. I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? It's not about the Earth Core Body Forging Milk, is it?"
Zi Yan's small face showed a hint of vigilance.
"... It is indeed about the Earth Core Body Forging Milk. I want to exchange other precious herbs for your share of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk."
"The effects of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk are crucial for me."
"But for you, it's just a medicinal ingredient that provides vast spiritual energy, no different from other herbs, right?"
After listening to Xiao Ze's explanation, Zi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodding generously.
"No problem. Whatever it's worth in herbs, I'll decide!"
Immediately, Xiao Ze took out the herbs he had collected recently.
After picking and choosing, Zi Yan took more than a dozen herbs and stopped.
Xiao Ze glanced at the herbs; perhaps the spiritual energy within them could match that of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk.
But the powerful effect of the Earth Core Body Forging Milk meant Xiao Ze had gained a significant advantage.
Therefore, Xiao Ze smiled and patted Zi Yan's head, saying, "Thanks."
"Xiao Ze, let's continue working together. I'll distract those demon beasts, and then you can go in and steal things!"
Zi Yan, holding the herbs happily, suggested to Xiao Ze.
"Sure, but wait until I have time. I've got some things to do lately, and these herbs should keep you fed for a while."
Xiao Ze put away the three jade bottles and left one bottle of diluted Earth Core Body Forging Milk for Zi Yan.
As a little glutton, Zi Yan didn't bother with pleasantries. She immediately opened the bottle and gulped down the Earth Core Body Forging Milk.
Finally, she licked her lips, savoring the residual milky white liquid.
"Surprisingly delicious!"
"And the energy it contains is very abundant..."
Seeing Zi Yan's gaze on him, Xiao Ze quickly hid his hands behind his back.
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm going back to the inner courtyard."
Xiao Ze said, leaving behind a sentence before condensing his wings and flying into the sky.
