第两千三百零一章 提纯万年灵乳

Blade light fell like rain, swirling and dancing in the air. In just a short while, Lin Xuan had established his own cave dwelling.

The area wasn't particularly vast; after all, it was based on the layout of this small mountain peak. However, despite its size, everything was present—bedrooms, secret chambers, even a workshop for refining artifacts and a library.

Whether these were useful or not was debatable, but he decided to set them up first before making any decisions.

Following that, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, sending out several colorful array flags. He was familiar with the process, setting up the Five Elements Enriching Spirit Array.

Originally, this array could be used as a treasure item.

However, in Lin Xuan's hands, it didn't feel quite as natural. Since he had plenty of treasures anyway, he decided to use them for the array instead.

This was putting these items to good use; the array was powerful and formidable. Even if a late-stage cultivator from the Profound Realm were trapped by this array, they would have to exert considerable effort to break free.

After setting up the array, Lin Xuan didn't stop there. He flicked his sleeve again, and this time, a talisman flew out of his sleeve.

Opening the bottle cap, milky white liquid appeared, emitting an aroma that refreshed the mind.

It was five-thousand-year-old stone stalactite, and he had obtained fifteen bottles through considerable effort. Using these, he should be able to refine ten thousand-year-old spirit milk.

Such a substance capable of instantly restoring one's power was essential for cultivators. If he had managed to defeat the Old Ancestor of Yanshan with some leftover ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk in his possession, he wouldn't have been chased so relentlessly by those few Profound Realm ancient demons. Without that fortunate encounter with Pavilion and Dragon Boat True Monarch, he might have had no choice but to use a random teleportation talisman, which would have been a regret.

Fortunately, it was all behind him now. However, one could learn from their mistakes. Lin Xuan wouldn't want to repeat the same mistake.

So, his first task after settling in was to refine ten thousand-year-old spirit milk.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan calmed himself down. Although he had been through many years of refinement, he still couldn't claim a 100% success rate. Refining liquid materials was much more difficult than refining pills.

Thus, he didn't take any chances. Five-thousand-year-old stone stalactites were not easy to find; if he failed this time, it would be a significant loss.

With some trepidation, Lin Xuan sank into his divine consciousness and used the inner vision technique. Everything in his dantian remained unchanged; the blue star sea continued its slow rotation deep within. The difference was that the innermost layer of the blue star sea now contained an enormous number of silver light points—ten percent of the entire star sea.

These were the main components for refinement.

After all, refining high-grade materials was more difficult. The blue star sea showed signs of strain.

Lin Xuan slowly began to mobilize the light points. Silver and blue intertwined in a 2:1 ratio. If it were only silver light points, he would find it challenging to refine five-thousand-year-old stone stalactites. But with the mixture, they complemented each other well. This was experience Lin Xuan had gained over many years.

The light points flowed through his meridians and gathered at the center of his palm, forming a miniature star sea that was breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Xuan didn't hold the five-thousand-year-old stone stalactite in his hand; instead, he used levitation to suspend it before his chest.

With everything prepared, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with determination. He suddenly shouted, "Break!"

Before the words left his mouth, the jade bottle shattered into pieces. However, the liquid stone stalactite didn't scatter; a mysterious force enveloped it and transformed it into a milky white water ball, still suspended before him.

Lin Xuan raised his hands, and the star seas in his palms moved according to his actions.

He made a gesture of embracing with both hands, encircling the five-thousand-year-old stone stalactite. The silver and blue light points entered it in an orderly fashion under his control.

This method of refinement was vastly different from refining pills. This wasn't surprising; solid pills and liquid spirit milk couldn't be compared. Lin Xuan had learned this through experience.

The process was difficult, and time passed slowly as Lin Xuan remained intensely focused. Sweat dripped down from his forehead.

He sat for three days straight.

On that morning, the once tranquil stone room suddenly erupted in a cry of joy.

Lin Xuan's eyes showed signs of fatigue, but his expression was excited as he looked at the ten thousand-year-old spirit milk before him… yes, it was indeed ten thousand-year-old spirit milk.

The refinement had succeeded. This was Lin Xuan's first time successfully refining ten thousand-year-old spirit milk. Previously, although he had speculated that five-thousand-year-old stone stalactites could be used as raw materials, this was just speculation. Now that it had been confirmed, the significance was entirely different.

However, these three days were exhausting; they didn't fall short of a fierce battle with a powerful opponent. After all, his focus needed to remain highly concentrated; any carelessness could lead to failure.

Although there were still silver light points in his body, they were now scarce. Lin Xuan looked at the floating ten thousand-year-old spirit milk before him and knew that its essence was far purer than anything he had previously obtained. The concentration of the essence was much higher due to his intense refinement.

Ten thousand-year-old spirit milk was rare, but it didn't replenish one's power indefinitely. As his cultivation level increased, a single drop of ten thousand-year-old spirit milk couldn't fully restore his power; several drops were necessary during battles, which could be time-consuming.

This time, Lin Xuan deliberately refined and concentrated the essence, making this new spirit milk much more robust and pure. With his current cultivation level, he only needed one drop to fully replenish himself.

Of course, the quantity was significantly reduced; a bottle of spirit milk now contained less than ten percent.

Flicking his sleeve, Lin Xuan took out a new jade bottle and carefully placed the refined ten thousand-year-old spirit milk inside.

Lin Xuan sighed in relief. He was too tired. The most crucial point was that there were no more silver light points left in his body; thus, he couldn't proceed with further refinement.

He returned to his bedroom, took a bath, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

The next morning, he felt refreshed, but the silver light points hadn't recovered. Reluctantly, Lin Xuan rested for several days until they fully restored before returning to the training room.

Thus, he alternated between refining and resting. After months of effort, Lin Xuan finally managed to completely refine all fifteen bottles of spirit milk without any major issues.

: Been busy lately, Rain Illusion has another errand today. But don't worry, I wrote a bit more yesterday and got up early this morning at six to finish it. Phew, please vote for recommendation tickets; I really need them.
