246: Chapter 246 Inner Layer

Ye Yisong took the bottle of Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk out of his Storage Pouch. There were ten drops in total, and each drop contained energy equivalent to the sum of the spirit liquid in the Dantian of a Late Stage Martial Ancestor.

While searching for Heaven And Earth Treasure in the outer areas, Ye Yisong had not forgotten the Martial Dao Legacy he longed for, randomly digging deep into the ground in various places to explore opportunities that Seniors might have missed.

Hard work pays off; this bottle of Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk was exactly what Ye Yisong had excavated from a thousand meters underground.

Looking at the situation on-site, Ye Yisong was the first Martial Artist to set foot here. The pitch-black limestone cave was pitch black, freezing cold, silent, and eerily gloomy.

Just as Ye Yisong was preparing to return, a drop of stone milk dripped from a naturally formed ice pillar on the ceiling of the cave, breaking the silence.

Ye Yisong took out a large night-luminescent pearl, illuminating the narrow cave, and saw the pool of milky white liquid hidden in the corner.

Although he did not know what kind of treasure it was for the time being, just looking at its appearance, he knew it was definitely extraordinary.

Ye Yisong used a pre-prepared Jade bottle to carefully collect the liquid, not too much, not too little, exactly ten drops.

Before leaving, after carefully checking the ancient patterns on the ice pillar, Ye Yisong discovered that it took at least several hundred years for the ice pillar to form a single drop of spirit liquid. It was impossible to fleece the sheep again in the short term.

Marking the location of the cave on the map, Ye Yisong specifically set up some camouflage and a simple defensive array before leaving.

After going out, he killed dozens of Grade 3 small Yao Beasts, finally lighting up this part of the map and learning the name of the spirit liquid: Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk, a Grade 5 Body Refining treasure.

Ye Yisong was overjoyed. Using the Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk to temper his Physical Body might just allow him to break through his Physical Body Bottleneck and advance to a Grade 5 Physical Body.

Although a Grade 4 Perfection Physical Body was enough to impact the Martial King realm, many Core Disciples of Martial King families would rack their brains to break their Physical Body through to Grade 5 before attempting the Breakthrough, in order to cope with the dangerous Grade 1-9 Lightning Tribulation.

Ye Yisong took a drop of the Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk from the Jade bottle and swallowed it. An explosive energy surged, recklessly impacting Ye Yisong's internal organs. Ye Yisong hurriedly circulated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art to absorb this power and temper his Physical Body.

The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art required filling all three hundred and sixty acupoints of the human body with pale golden spirit liquid to be considered true Grade 4 Perfection.

In other words, although Ye Yisong's Physical Body strength had reached the Grade 4 Perfection realm, the Cultivation Technique he was cultivating was still a long way off.

This was exactly the difficulty of cultivating a Grade 5 Body Refining Cultivation Technique; the massive amount of resources required during the process was simply not something an ordinary person could afford.

One Cultivation Technique was enough to drag down a Martial King Family, but there were shortcuts.

The Cultivation Technique Legacy Jade Slip clearly pointed out the direction: one could use the power of heavenly lightning during the Martial King Lightning Tribulation to make up for the loopholes, forcibly filling the acupoints all over the body, and advancing to a Grade 5 Physical Body.

But this path was not easy to walk. How could the power of heavenly lightning be absorbed just because you wanted to? Any accident halfway would result in death and Dao dissipation.

Ye Yisong had only tempered one hundred and eighty acupoints on his body so far, which was thanks to the generosity of the Ding Family Ancestor, who had gifted him that Grade 5 spirit peach.

He did not know if these ten drops of Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk would be enough for the remaining one hundred and eighty acupoints.

Seven days later, when the last drop of Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk was completely digested by Ye Yisong, he had turned into a mud man.

During the process of cultivating the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, refining the stone milk, and tempering his Physical Body, the Impurities in his body were constantly expelled, causing a thick layer of filth to adhere to Ye Yisong's skin. A pungent, fishy smell filled the entire cave, making Ye Yisong frown in disgust.

He took several cleaning talismans from his Storage Pouch and used them on himself. After cleaning off all the filth, Ye Yisong stretched lazily, and the sound of cracking bones spread throughout the cave, forming a beautiful piece of music.

"What a pity, still a little bit short."

Ye Yisong sighed, then laughed at himself for being too greedy; having such good fortune, he should not be dissatisfied.

After the blessing of ten drops of Thousand-Year Cold Pool Stone Milk, three hundred and fifty-five of the three hundred and sixty acupoints in Ye Yisong's body had been tempered. He was only five acupoints short of cultivating the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art to the Grade 4 Perfection realm, and he had hope of impacting a Grade 5 Physical Body.

Alas!

As for using Grade 4 Spirit Medicine to pile it up, Ye Yisong was reluctant to waste it.

Having made up for the gap in his cultivation, his current strength, even if not enough to go toe-to-toe with those Prodigies in the first tier, at least would not mean he would be beaten up easily.

Ye Yisong cast his gaze toward the direction of the inner layer; it was time to enter the inner layer and take a look.

Go and see just how deep the foundation of the nine major peaks of the East Sea really was.

Ye Yisong circulated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, and his fair skin immediately turned golden. He punched the ceiling of the cave, blasting a large hole, and flew directly out of the hole, heading toward the inner layer.

Looking at his right fist that had smashed hundred-year-old granite into powder, Ye Yisong nodded with satisfaction, put away his Divine Ability, and his skin returned to its fair color as he quickly approached a high peak.

According to his investigation over the past month, Ye Yisong had sensed three extremely terrifying auras lying in various directions of the inner layer.

The owners of these three auras should be the 5th Rank Demon Beasts that had grown up in the hundred years since the Wangchuan Secret Realm was closed.

He did not know how many precious medicines they had swallowed, and how strong they had become. He hoped that no one would provoke these three, otherwise, no one would have an easy time.

It was truly a case of fearing something and having it happen. A roar came from the depths of the inner layer, causing a mess.

Ye Yisong turned to look and immediately changed his direction, avoiding the terrifying figure in the southwest.

"Which Fellow Daoist is so brave to actually dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers?"

It was not just Ye Yisong who sensed this violent aura; the Martial Artists in the east of the Wangchuan Secret Realm all sensed it and fled in other directions one after another.

"Grade 4 Emerald Cloud Bamboo."

Ye Yisong raised his hand and his sword fell, cutting off the tops of five Emerald Cloud Bamboos in the bamboo forest and putting them into his Storage Pouch. He backhanded his sword to pierce the green bamboo snake that was ambushing him from behind, lighting up a small piece of the map in his mind.

This was the fifth day since Ye Yisong entered the inner layer. The inner layer was worthy of being the inner layer; in just five days, Ye Yisong had harvested fifty-three Grade 4 precious medicines.

Of course, being able to harvest so many precious medicines was largely due to the 798 Navigation System. If it were not for this cheat, it would not be easy to find these lost pearls hidden in the crevices.

"Boom!"

Just as Ye Yisong put the snake gall and poison sac of the green bamboo snake on the ground into his Storage Pouch, a booming sound came from the north, and the aftermath shattered the bamboo leaves on the ground.

Turning back to take one last look at the corpse of the Yao Beast on the ground, Ye Yisong now regretted not bringing more Storage Pouches. What good Grade 4 Yao Beast flesh, just wasted like that.

After using the Ten Thousand Forms Formless Technique to conceal his aura, Ye Yisong slowly approached the central area of the explosion.
