Han Ye reminded Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he raised his hand, slowly releasing his Spiritual Qi.
After a while, the Spiritual Qi began to slowly spread along a passage.
"It's here!"
Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he quickly followed.
"Drip!"
Inside the cave, dripping sounds could be heard from time to time.
Qin Xuan held his breath and continued to advance without stopping.
Along the way, these sounds could be heard from time to time.
"Be careful, there might still be danger in this kind of cave."
Han Ye reminded him from the side.
Qin Xuan nodded, looking around with a vigilant expression.
Taihuang Aura and lightning continuously surged from around Qin Xuan's body, protecting him within.
Along the way, the surroundings became increasingly winding and intricate.
Fortunately, Qin Xuan remained vigilant and did not encounter any further problems.
After advancing through the cave for a quarter of an hour, more and more stalactites began to appear ahead.
"earth milk stone is different from these stalactites; these stalactites will eventually form white stone pillars, and the liquid drops from these stalactites have no effect on Cultivators or Spirit Beasts."
"earth milk stone, however, is different; all earth milk stone is formed from the essence of the earth veins, completely unlike these stalactites."
Han Ye explained to Qin Xuan, and he was also very curious.
After all, he had only seen stalactites, but he had never seen earth milk stone.
Passing through patches of stalactite forests, Qin Xuan continued to advance.
Guided by the Spiritual Qi, Qin Xuan always had a clear sense of the direction ahead.
The further he advanced, the denser the sound of dripping liquid became.
Not only the sound of dripping liquid, but the stalactites also began to grow larger and more numerous.
After a while, Qin Xuan stopped.
In the very center of the stalactite forest, a faint white glow was emanating.
As far as the eye could see, in the central part of the stalactite forest, a giant stalactite pillar stood tall.
Above the stalactite pillar, another stalactite pillar extended downwards from the cave ceiling.
There were only a few zhang between the two stalactite pillars.
"Drip!"
At this moment, a drop of liquid slowly fell from the upper pillar.
Upon arriving here, Qin Xuan could already sense an extremely rich power of the earth veins.
The stalactite below was about three people's embrace to encircle, and in the center of the stalactite was a groove.
The groove was full of stone milk.
"This is earth milk stone!"
Flying to the side of the pillar, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he was about to go up, but he still held back.
"Senior, is this thing earth milk stone?"
Han Ye's Divine Soul emerged from Qin Xuan's Sea of Consciousness, looking at the white milky liquid ahead with some hesitation.
To be honest, he had only seen descriptions of this earth milk stone in ancient texts; as for the real stone milk, he had never actually seen it.
Thinking of this, Han Ye also shook his head helplessly.
"This, I'm not sure, it should be, but I always feel that this thing won't be so easy to obtain."
Listening to this, Qin Xuan nodded.
Not only Han Ye, but he also felt that this thing would not be so easy to obtain.
More importantly...
Looking at the stone milk completely filling it, Qin Xuan always felt it was a bit unreal.
"Since this earth milk stone is the essence of the earth, how could there be so much?"
Qin Xuan said with a frown.
Not only him, but Han Ye's Divine Soul on the side also nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, earth milk stone is extremely rare. Look, this is almost a full basin; it's a bit ridiculous."
If there was so much earth milk stone, everyone wouldn't have to fight so much over it.
"Do you want to look around for other things?"
Han Ye suggested.
Now he was also a bit suspicious.
Qin Xuan nodded, and his Mental Energy immediately spread out to explore the surroundings. After a while, he opened his eyes in surprise.
"There are four other places around with similar stone pillars."
"Calculating this way, there are a total of five such places in this cave."
Qin Xuan was a bit helpless, while Han Ye was somewhat speechless.
"This is too..."
Only one out of five places is real?
"Choosing one out of five, this is not easy to choose!"
Han Ye's Divine Soul pondered.
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid these five on the surface are not real; the true earth milk stone should be in another location."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan immediately began to ponder.
"The directions in which these five stone pillars are distributed seem to each occupy a direction, with the last one remaining in the center..."
Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands.
"I understand where the true earth milk stone is."
Standing up excitedly, Qin Xuan quickly walked to one side.
"What do you understand? What does that mean?"
Han Ye asked anxiously.
Listening to this, Qin Xuan explained as he walked.
"Although the milky liquid on these five stone pillars is not real stone milk, they are not fake either; they have another purpose."
"The positions where these five stone pillars are distributed happen to form a Formation. This Formation can gather the power of the earth, and the eye of the Formation is the location of the true earth milk stone."
"This underground cave was set up by a master thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago."
Qin Xuan spoke as he quickly rushed towards the eye of the Formation.
After a while, Qin Xuan arrived before the eye of the Formation and stared intently at it.
At the location of the eye of the Formation, an inconspicuous stalactite stood.
It seemed that this stalactite pillar had no special features.
A flash of light flickered in Qin Xuan's eyes.
"Fortunately, I know a little about Formations, otherwise I would have missed the earth milk stone."
Qin Xuan flew over with a smile, stopped in front of the stone pillar, and then studied it for a while.
"But there's no stone milk here!"
Han Ye said hesitantly. Qin Xuan smiled and raised his hand to tap the stalactite.
"Thump, thump!"
A dull sound came out.
"Empty!"
Han Ye was incredibly shocked.
Qin Xuan picked up his sword and carefully cut open the stalactite.
An extremely rich aura immediately spread out.
"Quick, collect it!"
Han Ye spoke urgently.
Before Han Ye could finish speaking, Qin Xuan had already acted, pulling out a jade bottle and quickly collecting the white stone milk from inside the stalactite.
"Whew!"
Got it!
Qin Xuan excitedly picked up the jade bottle, looking at the mere dozens of drops of stone milk inside, Qin Xuan exhaled, extremely satisfied.
"Heh, only a few dozen drops, that's more like it."
"Since it's the essence of the earth veins, how could there be so much, like a basin?"
He carefully put away the jade bottle.
With this earth milk stone, his cultivation could advance further.
However, now was not a good time to refine this earth milk stone.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan then returned the way he came, carrying the earth milk stone.
Upon returning to the Blood Ape cave, Qin Xuan immediately exited the cave without stopping.
Just as he walked out of the cave, Qin Xuan saw the Blood Ape returning, carrying two corpses.
Oh no!
