Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

"Hurry up, it should be deep in the valley. Your senior brother probably can't hold off that Snow Demon Ape for long, at most half an hour. We have to get out."

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded, glanced back at the roar of battle coming from behind, and then darted towards the valley.

A moment later, a pitch-black cave came into Xiao Yan's view, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"It seems like this is it."

Retracting the Thunder Bat Wings on his back, Xiao Yan flashed into the cave.

"This looks like the lair of the Snow Demon Ape."

Xiao Yan looked at a spot in the cave where a lot of white fur was scattered on the ground, and the ground was a darker color than other places, which seemed to be where the demonic ape often lay.

Where is the Earth Core Tempering Milk?

Xiao Yan frowned, looked around, but couldn't find any place to hide anything. Then he focused his gaze on the ground surrounded by fur, where the color of the sand was distinctly different from the surrounding area.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He reached out and inhaled at that spot, raising a cloud of dust, and then a dark hole appeared.

"So that's where the entrance was hidden." Xiao Yan smiled with delight, then leaped into the dark pit.

After landing in the pit, Xiao Yan discovered a very spacious underground space with numerous stalactites hanging down from above, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.

"teacher?"

"The Earth Core Tempering Milk is formed from the condensed energy of the earth. Just follow the place where the earth energy is most concentrated," the old medicine master said calmly, then pointed out a direction with his soul.

"This way."

Following the instructions of the old apothecary, Xiao Fan searched the underground space for a few minutes, and then an enormous stalactite came into view, which even Xiao Yan, with his experience, couldn't help but marvel at.

In front of Xiao Yan, an enormous stalactite hung down from the space above his head. It was about a hundred meters long and so wide that it would take two people to encircle it. It was surrounded by a faint white light and looked like a crystal pillar, dazzlingly bright.

Following the stalactite downwards, below it was a huge blue stone. At the top of the stone was a groove less than half a foot deep, in which a milky white liquid about two inches deep was piled up, with a faint white mist emanating from above it.

Looking at the milky white liquid, Xiao Yan felt a faint, sweet fragrance lingering around him. With a gentle sniff, he felt as if he were floating on air, his whole body instantly feeling incredibly comfortable.

"This... must be the Earth Core Tempering Milk!"

Xiao Yan licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the milky white liquid in the groove of the blue stone, and said softly.

Just as Xiao Yan was staring blankly at the milky white liquid, the white light surrounding the stalactite above his head intensified. Then, a drop of milky white liquid slowly flowed down from the top of the stalactite, finally dripping into the groove in Xiao Yan's eyes, rippling outwards.

"Ding dong!"

The sound of lotion dripping awakened Xiao Yan from his daze, and he swallowed hard.

"Teacher, this must be the Earth Core Tempering Milk." With that, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle and was about to pour the milky white liquid from the groove into it.

"Hehe, come with me." Without answering Xiao Yan, Yao Lai emerged from his storage ring and flew towards the top of the stalactite.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the emulsion in the groove. Thunder Bat Wings appeared on his back, and he flew up to the top of the stalactite with Yao Lao.

The old man examined the top of the stalactite for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He marked a mottled spot on the stalactite and said to Xiao Yan, "Take a piece of jade and dig it open here, three inches inward, no more and no less. Remember to be careful and don't damage this stalactite that took countless years to form."
