Qin Yichen observed for a long time but could not make sense of it, so he gave up and stepped into the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, a highly concentrated stream of Yuan Energy flowed into his body through his nose and mouth. Instantly, he felt refreshed, and his previous fatigue vanished.
The cave was not very deep.
After entering the cave, Qin Yichen’s gaze first fell on the ripples of light spreading out in front of him.
There, there was a small pit emitting concentrated Yuan Energy. In this small pit, there was a pool of milky white liquid. The concentrated Yuan Energy and light were flowing out from this liquid.
“It really is Spirit Milk!” Qin Yichen seemed excited. After careful observation, he exclaimed, “And it’s not ordinary Spirit Milk, but Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk!”
Spirit Milk was also divided into different Grades. The most common Spirit Milk was the Ten Year Old Spirit Milk. Next was the Hundred Year Old Spirit Milk. For Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk, even his former self would have regarded it as a precious treasure.
However, above Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk, there was still the Ten Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk.
That was something even Qin Yichen had never seen before in his previous life.
The so-called Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk was as its name suggests, one drop forms in a thousand years!
Anyone could see how precious it was.
Yet, in this small pit before him, there were at least hundreds or thousands of drops!
Suddenly, a look of shock flashed in Qin Yichen’s eyes.
[Doesn’t this mean that this place has existed for millions of years!? A place that has existed since ancient times!?] Qin Yichen had not thought that he had discovered such an incredible thing back then. Suddenly, he thought again, [Could it be that the ancient altar inside the Black Demon Mountain Range, recorded in the ancient books, is actually here!?]
He himself was surprised, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable.
After all, Black Wood Cliff, strictly speaking, was only the outskirts of the Black Demon Mountain Range. Who would pay attention to such a small area here? Even if powerful experts saw the records in ancient books, they would directly enter the deepest parts to explore. They would not possibly meticulously search the entire vast Black Demon Mountain Range.
Moreover, Black Wood Cliff has a slanted peak, almost covering the abyss below. If viewed from the air, this area would appear like flat ground, so it had never been discovered by people.
There were not many things left over from ancient times!
Each one was extremely precious. Therefore, once an ancient ruin appears somewhere, there would inevitably be a bloody struggle for it.
Knowing this, Qin Yichen’s gaze no longer focused on the Spirit Milk, but observed the environment around it.
Just looking up, on the rock wall above the Spirit Milk, there was a shrine sculpted out, with a God Statue enshrined inside.
That God Statue, perhaps due to the long passage of time, was grey and dusty, its true form blurry.
Qin Yichen curiously walked forward, wanting to wipe the dust off the God Statue. However, just as his palm touched the statue, a primordial and fierce aura enveloped him. In an instant, what appeared before his eyes was no longer a God Statue, but a giant beast tens of metres tall.
That Ferocious Beast was as large as a mountain. Its pupils were like the Sun and Moon, looking down at him from above, making him feel puny.
[Damn it! I’ve touched some kind of Restriction!] Qin Yichen wanted to retreat, but at this moment his Soul seemed to move involuntarily. He could only watch helplessly as the Ferocious Beast sucked away his Soul.
However, just when he thought he was surely dead, from within his body, from his Dantian, a faint Dragon Roar sounded. The sound did not seem loud, but it shocked one’s Soul.
The first to be affected was that giant beast. It looked somewhat bewildered at the Dragon Manifestation, appearing like an ant at its feet. Its pupils seemed to reveal unbelievable shock, and then it lowered its noble head.
Dragons represent the supreme, they represent the ultimate!
“So that’s how it is, I understand now. The Master of our Race has been entrusted to you…” The giant beast seemed to understand something. It opened its mouth and spat out a bright pearl, which flew towards Qin Yichen.
Just as the bright pearl appeared, the God Statue in the shrine instantly collapsed, turning to ashes and scattering.
*Cough cough…* The pressure suddenly disappeared, and Qin Yichen almost collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Although his breathing was still laboured, his gaze was fixed on the bright pearl the size of an Ox’s eye not far away. In his eyes, there was shock and also bewilderment.
All this happened in an instant. He only felt a huge Ferocious Beast appear before him, then this bright pearl appeared, and the God Statue collapsed.
“What happened?” Qin Yichen picked up the bright pearl and fiddled with it for a good while, but he could not figure out anything from it. It truly seemed to be just an ordinary pearl.
[How could something appearing in this ancient place be that simple?] Still, no matter how he probed with Yuan Energy or Spiritual Energy, the bright pearl had no reaction. Qin Yichen could only give up.
After observing the cave once more, and finding nothing else besides the shrine, he turned his gaze to the small pool of Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk.
“Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk, how laughable that in my previous life I used it to quench my thirst. It was truly a waste of this Heavenly gift!” Qin Yichen could not help but sigh.
Directly consuming Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk could not bring out its full effects. Fortunately, among all rare treasures, Spirit Milk has the gentlest medicinal power. No matter how much one consumes, there would not be any negative effects on them, like body explosion or others.
Speaking of which, after consuming it, Qin Yichen had benefited from it for life. The medicinal properties of this Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk had been slowly coursing through in his body, helping him overcome many difficulties in places he could not even see.
However, he did not drink that much. Most of it was absorbed by the small Pill Furnace. After that, the small Pill Furnace seemed to have gained some spirituality.
This time, Qin Yichen certainly would not continue to waste this Heavenly Gift. He took out small jade bottles from the bag on his back and started filling them.
However, because he mistakenly thought that this Spirit Milk was the ordinary kind, he had not prepared that many jade bottles to store them for his own use. So after filling all the bottles, he had nothing left to contain the rest.
“I can only let it absorb the rest…” Qin Yichen took out the small Pill Furnace and felt his heartache.
This was Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk! Even his former self would have regarded it as a treasure. That was just how precious it was.
One drop forms in a thousand years! A thousand years! Once used, it was gone. After ten thousand years, basically anyone would have died by them.
Although it pained him, Qin Yichen also knew that this small Pill Furnace must be repaired. So, he ended up putting the small Pill Furnace into the Spirit Milk.
Seeing the Spirit Milk being absorbed by the small Pill Furnace at a visible speed, he cupped his palm and unabashedly scooped up more than ten drops, swallowing them.
After entering his mouth, the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk turned into a warm current sliding down his throat, then spreading throughout his body. A feeling of comfort that made even his Soul tremble arose from the bottom of Qin Yichen’s heart.
In this instant, countless cells in his body seemed to emit comfortable low moans.
The feeling was indescribable.
Qin Yichen did not hesitate. He sat down cross-legged, simultaneously activating the Spirit God Technique and Spirit Body Technique, absorbing the medicinal properties from the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk.
During this time while he was absorbing, he did not know that outside, the collapse of the God Statue in the shrine had already caused a great commotion…
