Chapter 86: Harden the body

Man Man thrust her little finger into the pool and dipped a little bit of essence milk of the earth, then put the finger tip into her own mouth and tasted it with her tongue. She instantly spat a few mouthfuls of saliva out, frowningly, after that.

“It’s not as useful as you said! Old Yan!” Man Man immediately lost interest in the essence milk of the earth, leaping and running towards the hill of precious stones, over a hundred feet tall, located quite far away from the pool. That small hill was piled up with uncountable, difference-sized and multicoloured precious stones, which were shining with a bright, piercing light that could blind even an ordinary man.

“To you, our young master, it will certainly be useless; however, to other people, this is a treasure!” said Ying Yan; at the same time, he took out a fist-sized jade bottle from his sleeve, and threw it into the pool that contained the essence milk of the earth.

The jade bottle suddenly expanded out into a human-head-size, and released a fierce gust of air stream from the opening. A thumb-thick essence milk of the earth slowly rose from the pool and flew into the opening of the bottle. Ying Yan seemed like he was trying very hard to control the bottle, his facial expression suddenly changed, and his white facial skin had turned blood-red because of overexertion.

A buzzing sound came from the bottle; the essence milk of the earth started flying into the jade bottle in a stream while the bottle was shaking intensely.

The liquid surface level in the pool started declining. An inch, three inches, seven inches...a foot, three feet, seven feet...

When the liquid surface level dropped for sixteen feet, hundreds of human-head-sized yellow crystal showed up in the liquid. These crystals were transparent and shining, wisps of thumb-thick smoke could be seen coming in and out of them, and circling around them; from time to time, a bright light flashed through these crystals and lit up large pieces of ancient, simple spell symbols on the crystals.

Seeing the crystals, Ying Yan waved his hand with an excitement-filled face, then the jade bottle stopped extracting the essence milk of the earth, instead, it released tens of streams of air, and started absorbing those crystals.

Those human-head-sized crystals seemed strangely heavy. Ying Yan pointed at the jade bottle with his forefinger and middle finger; fire sparks burst out from between his fingers. He seemingly used all of his power to control the jade bottle, and finally, those crystals rose slowly, flying towards the narrow opening of the jade bottle, along with a low buzzing sound.

“Ji Hao, you and the guards did a good job by taking care of our young master, you should take these essence milk of the earth. The essence milk of the earth is condensed by the power and life force energy of the earth, it is able to slightly improve your strength, and largely improve the condition of your bodies, and your defensive power; more importantly, it can purify your meridians and Magus acupoints, and bring great benefits for your practice in the future.”

While Ying Yan was trying his best to control the jade bottle and absorb these crystals, he pointed his fingers at the remaining essence milk of the earth in the pool, which was about fifty-six feet in radius and a feet deep, and said with a calm voice, “But, you have to be extra cautious and careful when you absorb this, do not absorb the amount that is beyond the capacity of your bodies, otherwise, your body will turn into stone, which will be huge trouble.

Ji Hao and the tens of guards glanced at each other, then all jumped into the pool.

Those guards were overcautious, they wouldn’t dare to lose their politeness in front of Ying Yan and Man Man. They would only sit in the pool of essence milk of the earth and carefully absorb the liquid with their special methods. But, Ji Hao didn’t care that much, he even took off his clothes, leaving only a short underwear that was made of leather, directly laid down on the ground and soaked his entire body into the essence milk of the earth.

In the meanwhile, he triggered the [Bu Tian Bu Lou Magic Spell]; every single pore of his body opened simultaneously, formed countless tiny swirls and started absorbing the essence milk of the earth.

The essence milk of the earth had been formed from the essence of the earth that had gathered the power and life-force energy of the earth. The essence of the earth was purified by the mysterious universal power, over a very long time span; the essence of the earth slowly condensed into liquid and gathered in caves that had the perfect environmental conditions; by the perfect environmental conditions, it meant that these kinds of caves were able to gather the natural power and energy, and brewed the earth essence liquid like wine, for at least ten thousand years, after which it finally would become the essence milk.

The earth power was highly rich and nourishing, and had always been considered as the mother of all kinds of beings. The essence milk of the earth was formed by the earth power and thus had the magical effect which could largely improve the condition of human bodies. If a Southern Wasteland’s warrior would have a chance to improve his body with the essence milk of the earth, normally speaking, after the warrior did that, his or her power would be able to far exceed that of the other peer-level warriors and could probably compete with three to five warriors, who were in at the same power level, at the same time.

A drop of the essence milk of the earth had been inhaled into Ji Hao’s body, then quickly transformed into wisps of yellow smoke and was swallowed by the multicoloured flame in his lower abdomen. Soon, streams of multicoloured lights, which were a lot brighter than the usual, had flown out of the flame and quickly been absorbed by Ji Hao’s body.
