Chapter 1518 Earth Spirit Milk
Zhang Xuan listened carefully, but his heart sank.
He was not unfamiliar with the spiritual objects mentioned by the shopkeeper.
He even bought one or two of them through the Wanjietong to try.
Although there is an effect, it is like a drop in the bucket and has almost no effect on the stubborn flower!
If he wants to truly nurture the original fruit of Tao, these sixth-level spiritual objects will not be of much use. What he needs are corresponding seventh-level spiritual objects.
Zhang Xuan's face showed a hint of disappointment and hesitation as he said, "What you said are all rare treasures, but... to be honest, I've also had the good fortune to try out some of the 'Nine Mountains Soul-Calming Sand' and 'Earth Magnetic Essence' you mentioned, and the results... seem unsatisfactory."
He deliberately made the effect vague, but the frustration in his tone was clearly conveyed.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and his professional smile faded, replaced by a look of scrutiny and understanding.
"Even the 'Earth Magnetic Essence' has little effect? It seems that what you need is not an ordinary thing."
Zhang Xuan nodded silently.
"If what you seek is to nurture the Dao Fruit of the Origin of Gravity, then the spiritual objects mentioned above can only be considered peripheral 'fertilizers' at best, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The only thing that can truly pry open the core of the origin, help it transform the void into reality, and condense the Dao Fruit... is the seventh-level spiritual object - Earth Spirit Milk!"
"Earth Soul Milk?" Zhang Xuan was stunned. "What is this?"
"This substance is the essence nurtured by the core of the earth for thousands of years. Even a single drop contains the power of the boundless earth and the pure Dao rhyme of the origin of gravity."
"Great!" Henry Zhang was overjoyed.
"This kind of divine object was obtained by Ancestor Rong Xiao with great difficulty from the ancient star battlefield."
“It was actually found by Patriarch Rong Xiao himself…” Zhang Xuan was shocked again.
The seventh-level spiritual object found by the combined cultivator must not be an ordinary object.
"Originally, I definitely wouldn't sell this Earth Spiritual Milk, but the fighting on the Ancient Star battlefield has intensified recently, and even Broken Sky City is having to contribute manpower and spirit stones. I can only sell some of my precious inventory and collect some spirit stones to give to the Dragon Spine Palace."
When Henry Zhang heard the news, he was stunned again.
Is the war situation on the front so serious now?
Even the gathering place for independent cultivators requires people and spirit stones.
Just as Zhang Xuan was lost in thought, the shopkeeper felt that he had laid the groundwork for the event. He held up five fingers and wore a smile that showed he was in absolute control. "A small jade bottle, fifty thousand yuan worth of top-grade spirit stones. No cheating, no bargaining."
fifty thousand! A small bottle!
Zhang Xuan's face froze instantly.
He worked very hard, and apart from paying off his debts and nurturing the five Origin Dao Fruits last time, he only saved up one hundred thousand Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones over the past fifty or sixty years, which was only enough to buy two bottles of Earth Spirit Milk.
This price is even higher than the worst case scenario he had expected!
He was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally said in a deep voice: "This is indeed what I need, but the price... Shopkeeper, can you..."
"Fellow Daoist," the shopkeeper interrupted him, still smiling, "Heavenly Immortal House has a rule of fair dealing and clear pricing. This Earth Spiritual Milk was not easy to come by. It was acquired by Elder Rong Xiao himself. You get what you pay for. The effects of this substance are definitely worth the price. If you miss out today, it's hard to say when the next batch will be available."
Henry Zhang knew that bargaining in such a place was meaningless.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said, "In that case, then... buy two bottles."
"readily!"
The smile in the shopkeeper's eyes finally became more genuine. He clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter brought out two jade bottles from the inner room.
The jade bottle is warm and dark brown in color. Complex runes are engraved on the bottle, isolating the heavy and majestic aura inside.
Through the translucent bottle wall, one can vaguely sense the liquid inside, which is as thick as pulp and as amber in color, emitting a heart-pounding pulse of the earth.
"Would you like to check the goods, fellow Daoist?" the shopkeeper gestured.
Zhang Xuan's spiritual sense cautiously extended, and as soon as it touched the bottle, he felt a sense of heaviness as vast as a mountain, which slowed down his spiritual sense.
The flowers of the gravity-origin sacred tree absorbed a trace of breath and became brighter.
It's done! With this thing, there's hope for the Dao Fruit!
Henry Zhang nodded, no longer hesitated, took out a storage bag full of spirit stones and pushed it over.
The shopkeeper took a quick look at the hundred thousand Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones, nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to put the spirit stones away, and solemnly pushed the two jade bottles in front of Zhang Xuan.
"Take care, fellow Taoist!" The shopkeeper smiled and gestured for invitation.
Zhang Xuan did not stop any longer, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
After returning to the cave, Zhang Xuan immediately began to retreat.
He carefully placed a jade bottle in front of him.
The moment the cork was opened, an indescribable heavy aura spread out, even the light was slightly distorted. Zhang Xuan even felt his bones groaning slightly.
He practiced his skills, carefully guiding out a strand of earth spirit milk as thick as honey and began to refine it.
"Uh!"
Henry Zhang groaned, and his face turned pale in an instant.
The power of this Earth Spirit Milk is too overbearing!
It is not a docile thing, but the violent, heavy, and extremely condensed origin of the earth's veins!
The violent power of the thick earth rushed into the inner space violently, and merged into the dark yellow flower of the original sacred tree bit by bit.
The flower of the Origin Divine Tree trembled slightly under the impact of the heavy force, and the dark yellow light on the petals flickered. Every time a wisp of pure thick earth essence was finally absorbed by the petals, the petals seemed to grow a little thicker and the light became more stable.
This tiny change made Zhang Xuan ecstatic: "It works! The Earth Spirit Milk really works!"
He cast aside all distractions and, like the most patient craftsman, melted, absorbed, and guided the remaining spiritual milk of the earth bit by bit.
Two whole years were just a blink of an eye in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Zhang Xuan, it was a long and torturous struggle with the thick earth origin that was as heavy as a mountain day and night.
When the last bit of the energy of the Earth Spirit Milk was completely refined and absorbed, an irrepressible excitement gleamed in the depths of his eyes.
The dark yellow flower of the Origin Divine Tree finally disappeared!
Instead, there was a fruit emitting a soft, heavy, dark yellow light!
It is only the size of a thumb, completely round, and its surface is engraved with naturally formed mysterious patterns that symbolize the law of gravity.
A stable, heavy aura that seemed to be able to carry everything emanated from it.
"The fruit of the origin of Tao is initially formed."
After two years of hard work and a huge investment of 100,000 spirit stones, the results finally came!
However, after the surprise came a deeper solemnity.
The thumb-sized Dao Fruit contained inner brilliance, but it was still far from the "fist-sized" size needed to support him in breaking through to the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
The Dao Fruit is far from being achieved, but the spirit stones have been exhausted.
Now the only way to earn spirit stones is to make pills.
The Dragon Scale Dao Pill definitely cannot be refined, and only the Sixth-Level Dao Concentration Pill can be refined.
So Zhang Xuan began to retreat and make elixirs again.
After consuming all the Concentrating Spirit Grass, Zhang Xuan came out of seclusion with a full supply of Great Dao Concentrating Spirit Pills.
