Under the alluring sunlight, the imprints of time began to decay on her back. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed …

At the Great South Mountain of South Heaven City.

The beautiful winding mountain range coiled around like a sleeping dragon.

The tallest mountain overlooked the foot while white clouds filled the air. The surrounding mountains were surrounded by clouds and mist.

In one of the empty areas, there was a lake, next to a mountain wall.

At the bottom of the lake, there was a shadow of a person with his eyes closed and a thin bamboo pole in his mouth. The bamboo pole pierced through the surface of the water like a pointed lotus.

Suddenly, the thin bamboo pole slightly moved. The little red dragonfly seemed to be frightened and quickly spread its wings and flew away.

The slender bamboo pole trembled slightly before it stopped moving. The figure at the bottom of the water opened his eyes.

This person's expression was firm and handsome, and his physique was sturdy. He was Ling Yan, the person who came to the pool to cultivate half a month ago.

In half a month's time, he had consumed a massive amount of true essence stones. In addition, with the help of the 10,000 Year Stone Milk and the help of the 'Berserk Golden Body Tactic', the medicinal efficacy of the fifth grade Dragon Strength Pill had been perfectly absorbed by him.

The peak of the 3rd level of the Mortal Nascent Soul Stage had the strength of 12000 jins!

Ling Yan didn't need to consciously sense the state of his body to feel that there was a tremendous power hidden within him, like a volcano. He had a strong desire to immediately find a fifth level Mortal Stage expert and fight to his heart's content!

There were less than three days until Ling Yan's participation in the Thousand Army Array at the end of the month.

In such a short period of time, he estimated that it would be too late for him to break through to the early fourth stage of the Mortal Stage. This was because even the peak of the third stage would need a period of time to consolidate.

But even so, Ling Yan believed that his current overall strength was no worse than that of an ordinary person at the peak of the fifth level of the Mortal Nascent Soul Stage.

As expected, at the end of the month before the Thousand-military Combat Array ranking test, Ling Yan planned to get rid of this narrow-minded villain.

After all, if his Thousand Military Array was finished and his ranking was too high, he might attract the vigilance and fear of the camp. Moreover, Hua Longning couldn't disappear for too long, and it would cause the camp to be suspicious of him and then run away.

After calming himself down, Ling Yan decided to end his cultivation. He dug out the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk that was buried in the mud beneath him and stored it in his storage ring.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement above the pond. Ling Yan raised his head and saw a slight ripple on the surface of the water. Following that, a jade-like foot was submerged in the water.

Ling Yan was stunned. He suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that someone had come here to take a bath …

The pool was warm and gentle, like a hot spring. It could not help dispel fatigue and could also help with cultivation. If it was an ordinary person, they would only feel that they could relax their body and mind. Would a martial artist feel the difference in the strange energy under the water like him?

Or had he already discovered the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk and was preparing to dig it up?

At this moment, Ling Yan's heart was in his throat. His entire body was motionless, afraid that he would attract the attention of others.

If the person who came had the intention to dive into the water, then no matter what, Ling Yan would immediately dig up the soil, collect the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, and then madly flee.

Danger and opportunity coexisted. The process of practicing martial arts was filled with thorns and thistles. Only by fearlessly advancing forward could one obtain the acknowledgement of the Heavenly Dao and achieve some accomplishments in the martial way.

He only hoped that this person wouldn't be too strong. Otherwise, no matter what, he wouldn't be able to protect this 10,000 Year Stone Milk, and he might even lose his life because of this.

However, what made Ling Yan slightly at ease was that this situation didn't seem like he was here to take away the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk. Perhaps he hadn't even discovered it.

That's right, unless he had sharp senses like Ling Yan, dived into the water, and successfully arrived at the side of the mountain wall, and used his spiritual sense to detect any abnormalities within a three meter radius of the ground, otherwise, just staying on the water would only cause him to feel that the water in the pool had a special effect.

But who would have dived into the water with nothing to do? If not for the fact that Ling Yan had been chased down by Ouyang Chao's guards and had no choice but to dive into the water, he wouldn't have discovered such an abnormality.

Just as Ling Yan's nerves were tensing up, in the next moment, Ling Yan saw something fall into the water. He immediately widened his eyes as a wave of hot air rushed up from his body, causing him to almost bleed from his nose …
