My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 172 Transformation and Attack

Natural treasures that can improve cultivation aptitude will never be cheap.

But rather,
Once the earth vein spiritual milk is separated from the energy entangled with the earth vein, its spiritual essence will dissipate and it will become waste.

This also eliminated the possibility of a transaction.

Also because of this,

After discovering this place of opportunity, and after improving his physique and making up for his deficiencies, Nangong Cheng...

If you don't want the remaining ley line essence to be left here, you'll have to tell others about it.

However, the entrance to this underground cave is located in a relatively deep area of ​​the monster-infested forest, rarely visited by humans.

Without a certain level of strength,

Even if he personally leads the way, there is still a possibility of accidents.

And as time goes by,
Nowadays, more and more cultivators from outside the region are venturing into the desolate borderlands to explore, searching for traces of the Azure Essence Water Grass.
The location of this earth vein spiritual milk might be discovered by someone.

They might sell the information or give it away to friends and family.

He must make a decision as soon as possible.

And this time,
As several major chambers of commerce exerted their influence, Zhang Qingyuan's achievements and reputation began to circulate in the surrounding area.

Furthermore, the fact that Zhang Qingyuan, the alias of Shen Changchuan, had the feat of defeating an eighth-level Tribulation Cultivator while only at the seventh level of cultivation was already astonishing enough.

The wider the reputation spreads, the better.
In many places, people began to talk about this extraordinary figure who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This,

This also happened to be noticed by Nangong Cheng.

Remembering that Zhang Qingyuan seemed to be one of the people who participated in the battle to kill the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter,

Then he recalled how Shen Changchuan and the others had defeated the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter and simultaneously removed the hidden dangers within him, allowing him to continue his journey on the path of cultivation.
Nangong Cheng decided to use this opportunity to repay the debt of being saved and attaining enlightenment.

Originally, Nangong Cheng thought,

Since Zhang Qingyuan was able to easily kill a cultivator at the late stage of the eighth level of the immortal realm...
His combat strength, if not comparable to a cultivator at the ninth level, must certainly be approaching that level.

When they join forces,
With two combatants at the ninth level, protecting Shen Changchuan, a junior at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, deep into the monster forest shouldn't be a big problem.

Therefore, an invitation was extended to Shen Changchuan.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Qingyuan didn't come.

Shen Changchuan handled the dangers encountered on the journey with ease, which put his initial anxiety at ease.

"Well, this outcome is a good thing."

Nangong Cheng let out a breath.

Admittedly,

He was well aware that the Spirit Pulse Milk was extremely precious, and if powerful families knew about it, they might be willing to offer thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones as a price to buy the information.

However, the Earth Vein Spirit Milk is naturally nourished by the earth and cannot be taken away.

Given the current situation, let alone how long it will take to find a suitable buyer, even if one is found, the place might already be snapped up by someone else.

It would be better to give it away now as a way of repaying a favor.

In any case, having used it once, this earth vein spirit milk would no longer have any effect on him.

The lingering regret in my heart vanished completely.
Nangong Cheng felt a sudden sense of enlightenment; his cultivation level was progressing in tandem with his mental state, subtly improving as well.
Nangong Cheng's inner thoughts

Shen Changchuan, of course, had no idea. At this moment, he...

I had no interest in paying attention to anything else.

He was completely immersed in the earth's spiritual milk.
A faint, refreshing scent began to seep into his body through his skin.

Shen Changchuan felt a piercing pain emanating from deep within his flesh and bones, a kind of aching and itchy pain as if countless ants were gnawing at him!

And under the powerful perception of his soul, the sensations were amplified even more!
But regarding this,
Shen Changchuan showed no fear whatsoever.
Instead, he showed a look of delight.
He could feel that as the spiritual energy of the earth vein spiritual milk seeped into his body, strands of Dao essence also surged into every part of his body.

During this process,

As if parched fields had been irrigated by sweet rain, his flesh and bones were nourished by a latent vitality, filling Shen Changchuan's entire body with a tingling, itchy sensation, while also giving him a feeling of being immersed in a warm, comforting liquid.

The hidden injuries that his body had suffered during past training and battles were rapidly healed at this moment.

The toxicity and medicinal effects of the elixirs, hidden deep within the body's flesh and blood, were rapidly melted and evaporated, like ice and snow encountering a raging fire.
Flesh and bones are being strengthened.
The magical power within the body is further solidified during the process of circulating throughout the body.
Shen Changchuan took a deep breath and immediately suppressed all his thoughts.

He began meditating within the earth vein's spiritual milk.
Focus all your mind

Absorb as much of the spiritual essence of the surrounding earth veins as possible to refine yourself and maximize the effect of these earth veins.

If it were someone else,
With the muscles, bones, blood, and flesh strengthened, and the whole body feeling sore and itchy, it would be difficult to meditate and cultivate, resulting in most of the spiritual essence of the earth vein spiritual milk being wasted.

Unfortunately, it was Shen Changchuan who was there.

before this,

During the process of escorting the joint caravan to transport goods, he meditated and honed his mind on the bumpy carriage, and had already reached the initial stage of being able to calmly read books even in the midst of a bustling city, transcending the mundane environment.
With his experience, Shen Changchuan only needed to make slight adjustments to his senses, which were merely physical, before he entered a meditative state.

At this time,
On a large rock not far away

Upon witnessing this scene, Nangong Cheng...
At the same time, seeing the spiritual energy in the air converging towards Shen Changchuan as if encountering a vortex, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"To think they could do that."

As a cultivator who had used this earth vein spiritual milk, he knew very well what it felt like to be immersed in it.

While inside, the earth vein spiritual milk had a transformative effect on my body, making it difficult to even concentrate.

Let alone meditation and cultivation?

Looking back on Shen Changchuan's performance along the way,

Nangong Cheng couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

time flies,
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The earth vein essence in the pool has become visibly clear.

It's clear that Shen Changchuan has already absorbed most of the spiritual essence within it.

This prompted Nangong Cheng to sigh once again.

To think that it could absorb so much earth vein spiritual milk—I realized I had probably absorbed less than a third of what it did back then.

Leaving aside its effects on improving muscles and bones, the foundation it lays in the future will be so solid that it will be unfathomable!
Could this be the foundation of a powerful and influential family?

"It's actually Earth Vein Spirit Milk?! Damn it! We're too late!"

at this time,

A series of exasperated screams came from the entrance to the underground cavern.
