Chapter 47: Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk

However, Luo Yao did not have complete information, so she did not know which stone room housed the Space Magic Treasure and could only search them one by one.

Fortunately, she had the Token, allowing her to enter any stone room at will.

Moreover, some of the stone rooms' Arrays had teleportation functions, so Luo Yao could use them to teleport to other stone rooms.

Unfortunately, many of the stone rooms Luo Yao entered were empty, clearly because their treasures had already been taken by others.

"Huh?"

Luo Yao opened a stone room and saw a jade box placed on a stone table in the center.

She couldn't help but smile—finally, some reward; it wasn't all for nothing. Thinking this, she opened the jade box.

This stone room had only one exit, right behind him; for Luo Yao to leave, she must pass him—but would he let her go?

Obviously not.

Thus, Luo Yao acted decisively, snatching the jade box from the stone table beside her, then activating the Token, her entire body instantly enveloped by the Array and vanishing from sight.

It affected all cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage.

Swish!

Suddenly, a white light appeared ahead, and soon a figure gradually materialized.

Even with his Qi Refining Tenth Layer cultivation, he could not break the Array; instead, he suffered backlash from it and spent half a day just to recover.

Zhang Yan saw Luo Yao trying to seize the jade box and flew into a rage, but he was still some distance from it, while Luo Yao had appeared right beside it—so he was ultimately a step too slow.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Yan's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

It was said that consuming this Pill could instantly break a cultivator's boundary, with the strongest effect on those below Foundation Establishment.

"Impossible!"

But the problem was, there was only one exit here—how had that person escaped?

"Wait?"

He had been chasing Luo Yao for a long time; though he had never seen her face, he remembered her aura—and now he had unexpectedly encountered her here.

And though there was only one vial, Diao Na knew that for Luo Yao's Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivation, even a single drop of Spirit Milk needed to be diluted a hundredfold before consumption, or the overwhelming Spirit Power would instantly rupture her dantian.

"Stop!"

"It's you!"

When the figure fully appeared inside the stone room, Zhang Yan immediately recognized Luo Yao.

That is to say, when Luo Yao fought others and exhausted her Spirit Power, consuming this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk would instantly restore her to peak condition.

When Luo Yao entered the stone room, she also spotted Zhang Yan and was startled—Zhang Yan's cultivation was several layers higher than Zhao Yang's.

Unfortunately, the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman he coveted had been stolen.

But his luck was good—he killed the man's companion and obtained a map of the Guxiushi Cave Abode.

To break through to Foundation Establishment, he needed a Foundation Establishment Pill, which was extremely hard to buy, so he could only search for Spirit Herbs and ask a master alchemist to help refine one.

Heaven had not shown him any special favor; instead, it had played a trick on him.

Unfortunately, after chasing for a long time, the man still escaped.

The next instant, her entire body was enveloped by the Array and vanished from sight.

Only the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman could make someone vanish instantly.

If he had known, he would have taken the jade box sooner.

So often, these Loose Cultivators couldn't even defeat cultivators of the same level, and even if they won, they might just kill the young one and summon the old one.

Since entering the Cave Abode, Zhang Yan had been in scavenging mode, but perhaps his luck was bad—most stone rooms were inaccessible.

After securing the Boundary-Breaking Pill, Zhang Yan turned his gaze to the jade box ahead, feeling hopeful.

Luo Yao, appearing in another stone room, couldn't help but open the jade box.

He had thought he had no chance—but now he had encountered Luo Yao here; didn't that mean he had a chance to reclaim the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman?

And Luo Yao was only a Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivator—he could crush her with one hand.

And as for their Talisman Paper and Pills, they used them like they were free; these Loose Cultivators hesitated for a long time before deciding whether to use even a single Talisman Paper.

That is to say, from now on, when she fought others, she would never again worry about running out of Spirit Power.

Luo Yao did not refine Pills and had no special need for Spirit Herbs, though she still cared about the materials required to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

She assumed Luo Yao had used the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, but in fact, Luo Yao had not used it.

…………

And he had also found a Boundary-Breaking Pill—this was like the sun shining in the east while still dark in the west.

Although the man had concealed his cultivation, Zhang Yan was certain the man's level was lower than his own, so he planned to kill him and seize his belongings.

He immediately stepped forward toward the jade box.

Fortunately, after misfortune came good fortune—he found an ancient Pill called the Boundary-Breaking Pill in the previous stone room.

Then, she sensed the Array in this stone room had teleportation ability, so she took out the Token and infused it with Spirit Power.

And the lower the cultivation, the more boundaries one could break through.

She took a Jade Slip from the Golden Core cultivator's Storage Ring, compared it, and found the information she needed.

For Loose Cultivators without background, survival techniques were most important; when encountering cultivators of the same level, those with background would summon Dharma Artifacts at once, while he held only mundane weapons—how could he fight them?

"Hand over the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, and I'll spare you!"

He could only watch helplessly as Luo Yao seized the jade box and vanished from sight.

But the alchemical materials were also extremely rare and hard to gather.

He had obtained the Boundary-Breaking Pill earlier from the jade box in the adjacent stone room—he wondered what treasure this jade box contained.

But his resources were nearly depleted, and he had hit a bottleneck—currently stuck at Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

Inside was a jade vial; when opened, a fragrant aroma instantly filled the air, refreshing the mind and spirit.

This forced him to be cautious.

The exit was already blocked, and defeating Zhang Yan was impossible.

However, a Millennium Spirit Herb was also extremely precious to a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, so Luo Yao carefully put it away; perhaps it would be useful later.

Therefore, Luo Yao glanced around and discovered the exit was behind Zhang Yan.

Something good!

Although he didn't know the name, it was indeed something good.

Worrying that Luo Yao would use the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman, Zhang Yan immediately spoke up.

Unlike Spirit Stones and Pills, which require some time for Spirit Power to recover to its peak, this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk works instantly.

So, after obtaining this Pill, Zhang Yan was overjoyed. As a Loose Cultivator, reaching the Qi Refining Tenth Layer meant his luck was not bad; previously, he had obtained a batch of resources from some Great One's Cave Abode.

"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk."

So, he was extremely troubled; he had originally thought of going to the auction house to try his luck, but he hadn't found a Foundation Establishment Pill, only the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's face grew even darker. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have spoken out of turn, and thus wouldn't have reminded Luo Yao to use the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman.

"Hmm?"

He slapped himself, then realized it wasn't a dream, and his face immediately turned as black as a pot bottom.

It was a Spirit Herb, a Millennium Spirit Herb.

Zhang Yan rushed quickly to the stone table and searched around; the Jade Box had vanished, and Luo Yao had vanished too.

Therefore, for a Loose Cultivator, means of survival are extremely important.

Could she have used the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman?

Heaven has been too good to me; not only did it let me obtain the Boundary-Breaking Pill, but it also sent the person I wanted to deal with right before my eyes.

Zhang Yan frowned, his guard instantly raised as he stared at the figure ahead, suddenly feeling that the figure seemed somewhat familiar.

Naturally generated between heaven and earth, a single drop can restore the Spirit Power within one's body to its peak state.

But after all, it is an Guxiushi Cave Abode; even if the contents of the Jade Box were the worst, they would still be worth ten thousand gold.

Note: instantly.

In cultivator duels, sometimes a single second can change the situation.
