Chapter 87 Earth Spirit Milk

Earth Spirit Milk

"It's still you two who broke through to the Xiantian Great Realm. I merely gave you the opportunity." Xue Bai shyly responded.

That was true. While he was the one who gave them the Spirit Cleansing Fruit, if they weren't able to capitalize, they wouldn't even have advanced to the Half-step Xiantian Great Realm, let alone to the Spirit Awakening Realm that they were in now.

"Alright, enough of us. Bai'er, how is your cultivation going? I heard that you set a high goal for yourself. What is your goal?" Li Rou asked curiously.

"I want to reach the Bone Strengthening Realm before the sixth month of 975." Xue Bai answered seriously.

"Bai'er. That's a very high goal. I know that you have an Earth-grade Martial Vein, but even so, isn't that too much?" Li Rou couldn't help but ask in shock.

The sixth month of 975 was only 18 months away, and for Xue Bai to reach the Bone Strengthening Realm, he would have to advance almost a stage a month.

"I believe in my potential, Mother. And with my memories, I can guarantee that I'll be able to reach my goal." Xue Bai spoke solemnly.

Li Rou wanted to try and tell Xue Bai to lower his goal a little, but after seeing him radiate so much confidence, she swallowed the words in her mouth.

The family would spend the rest of the morning talking about various things in life until Xue Feng and Li Rou would have to leave for work.

"Bai'er, we killed Wang Yin earlier, so you are safe to leave the Estate to look for those opportunities you keep mentioning. But just make sure to bring the Wang Twins along with you." Xue Feng spoke as he left.

"But Bai'er, remember, no matter how valuable that opportunity is, your life is worth more. You, with your potential, will become an Immortal even if you miss one chance, so take care of your life." Li Rou spoke as she gave her son a hug before flying off.

After bidding them farewell, Xue Bai went over to call the Wang Twins for their new job of protecting him.

The Wang Twins, after breaking through to the Law Manifestation Realm, had still kept up their same diligence and intense Cultivation routine. Still, with their limited potential, their cultivation bases had been stalled at the 1st stage of the Law Manifestation Realm without any signs of it advancing.

Through this trip outside, Xue Bai hoped that while getting spirit fruits for himself, he could also get a few that could help the cultivation of two.

By now, instead of being Xue Feng's subordinates, it was better to call them Xue Bai's. And as his first pair of subordinates, Xue Bai wanted to treat them well.

However, sadly, Spirit Fruits that helped cultivators in their Realm were much farther than Snowy Wind City's forest.

But even after telling them their cultivation bases would be paused, for the time being, neither of the twins even broke into a frown. Instead, the two laughed.

"Young Master, us breaking through to the Law Manifestation Realm outside the Secret Realm was more luck on our part. If it weren't for you allowing us to use that chance to break through, we would've been stalled at the Peak of the Law Engraving Realm, perhaps even until now. So even if we spend another year at our current cultivation stage, we'd be content." Big Wang explained merrily.

"Yes, Young Master, it's all thanks to you we could even reach our current position. If Master hadn't made us your bodyguards, we still would've most likely still would be meddling in the Early Stages of the Law Engraving Realm. And besides, me and Big Brother plan to spend more time comprehending our Law as we have been giving it less attention these past few years." Little Wang seconded.

Seeing that the twins were fine with their situation Xue Bai didn't say anymore and got into the carriage they had prepared.

And after giving Little Wang the first set of coordinates, the group of four set off.

The first opportunity that Xue Bai planned to grab, while it was useful for him, it was mainly for Xiao'er. It was a huge puddle of 1,000-year-old Earth Spirit Milk.

Earth Spirit Milk was in the category of treasures like Ginsengs, where the older they became, the higher their rank.

10-Year-old Earth Spirit Milk wasn't classified as a Natural Treasure and could only be used as a cosmetic item for cultivators.

100-Year-old Earth Spirit Milk was categorized as a Middle Yellow Grade Natural Treasure.

And 1000-Year-old Earth Spirit Milk was categorized as a Peak Yellow Grade Natural Treasure and so on, with every 1000 years bringing the grade up by two stages.

There could also be older and different variants, but Xue Bai didn't think they existed in this mortal plane, putting them out of his consideration.

And what Earth Spirit Milk did was extremely special. It could purify a cultivator's body from all impurities it had within. While also elevating the cultivator's Martial Vein Rank by a level. The limit of the Martial Vein advancement, however, was as long as the consumer's Martial Vein was below the rank of the Earth Spirit Milk.

So for Xiao'er, who had raised her cultivation base by consuming pills like candy and only had a mere High Yellow Grade Martial Vein, the Peak Yellow Grade Earth Spirit Milk was perfect for her.

By purifying the body of Xiao'er, it would save her years in her later Realms as impurities within the body served as blockades.

The more pills one would consume, the more impurities would build up in their veins. And like a congested road, the Spiritual Qi they would absorb would have to go around the impurities or, worse, get sucked into them, making that Spiritual Qi useless and also wasting the cultivator's time.

So for Xiao'er, who was basically a pill jar in human form, the 1000-Year-old Earth Spirit Milk fit her perfectly. And the Martial Vein advancement only served as icing on an already perfect cake. The potential of Xiao'er, even with her new physique, was still something to worry about. But after she would consume the 1000-Year-old Earth Spirit Milk, the problem wouldn't be as bad.

As Xue Bai was going to explain what he was going to give Xiao'er, Big Wang's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Young Master, we can't get any closer to the first set of coordinates you gave us. There is a cliff here stopping us.!" Big Wang yelled.

"Tsk- Horrible timing. Whatever Xiao'er stay here, I'll explain it to you when I come back." Xue Bai clicked his tongue in annoyance as he jumped out of the carriage, leaving the confused Xiao'er inside.

Getting out of the carriage, Xue Bai found himself still on the trail that led through the forest, but to his left was the cliff he was looking for.

"Little Wang, come and fly me down this cliff. And Big Wang, you watch the carriage and make sure that Xiao'er stays safe." Xue Bai quickly threw out orders.

Both twins obeyed quickly, and Xue Bai's orders were soon followed. And after making sure that Xue Bai had a good grip, Little Wang flew down the cliff.

"Young Master, where do you want me to fly to? There is a lot of fog here." Little Wang asked as they quickly descended the cliff.

Little Wang knew that Xue Bai wouldn't be able to see anything with his low cultivation, so he wanted to be Xue Bai's eyes. But he needed to know what they were looking for to do that.

"It's a cave that's about the height of a grown man. And at the mouth of the cave, there is a thick dying branch." Xue Bai answered.

Comically the Earth Spirit Milk was a treasure that Huo Long would find after being forced to jump off a cliff to hide from his enemies.

However, now that Xue Bai was here, it would belong to him.

With a proper image, Little Wang quickly found the cave matching Xue Bai's description. And after gently dropping him in the mouth of the cave, Little Wang turned around and let Xue Bai do his business.

Inside the cave, Xue Bai found the Earth Spirit Milk easily as not only was the cave small, but it also sat directly in the center of the cave.

Quickly scooping it up and placing it within a sealed container, Xue Bai flew out with the help of Little Wang.

Though the Earth Spirit Milk was definitely the most important item they would grab today, it wasn't the only one. And wanting to be home before nightfall, Xue Bai didn't want to waste any time.
