Chapter 819 - 335: Treasure Retrieval at the Pool’s Bottom (Part 3)

"Spiritual Milk!"

Seeing the liquid in the middle of the lotus stone bowl, Chu Ning couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

He already had quite a bit of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk in his storage bag.

But compared to that, the spiritual milk in this bowl was much denser.

"Indeed, it’s Spiritual Milk, and it’s the top-level Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk among spiritual milk!"

The voice of the Elder Turtle transmitted through.

"This place was originally set up by the Void Sect specifically for collecting spiritual milk.

Why is it called Celestial Spring Pool? Isn’t it because of this spiritual spring?

This spring gathers the spiritual qi of the entire Void Abyss, although now the qi is thin here, it used to be much richer.

The amount of spiritual milk condensed would double as much then."

Upon hearing the Elder Turtle’s words, Chu Ning’s gaze couldn’t help but brighten.

He had tried Thousand-Year Spirit Milk before, and its effect on restoring magical power was excellent.

Although for him, who had already broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage with abundant magical power, the recovery speed naturally couldn’t compare to before.

But even so, it was still extremely fast.

And if it was Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, who knows how astonishing the speed would be.

While taking out a jade bottle, Chu Ning asked:

"Elder Turtle, can I directly store this Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk?"

"Store it, store it, take whatever you want." The Elder Turtle’s voice seemed indifferent.

This slightly surprised Chu Ning; he had thought this Elder Turtle might be the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast of the Void Abyss or something.

Considering all the treasures here as precious as life.

However, since the Elder Turtle said so, Chu Ning naturally didn’t hesitate.

He flew directly to the top of the spiritual spring, collecting all the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk condensed there into the jade bottle.

"Just this Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk alone is probably nearly a hundred drops. It’s quite a harvest coming to this Void Abyss."

Chu Ning placed the jade bottle into his storage bag, unable to help but show a smile on his face.

Only then did Chu Ning start to survey the cave.

Soon, his gaze fell on a corner of the cave, emitting a surprised sound.

At that spot, there was a smaller spiritual spring.

Calling it a spiritual spring, it looked more like a small pool, covered by a transparent restriction.

Inside, there was a small turtle.

This small turtle was only the size of a regular turtle, yet its shape was incredibly familiar to Chu Ning.

Its eyes were closed, head stretched out, limbs spread floating on the spiritual spring.

In a completely idle state.

It was identical to the form Chu Ning had first seen the Elder Turtle in on the sea.

Even the appearance was the same.

It was clearly a miniature version of the Elder Turtle in his Spirit Beast Bag.

"Did you see it?"

While Chu Ning was observing this little turtle, the Elder Turtle’s voice sounded.

Chu Ning had already speculated that this little turtle was related to the Elder Turtle in his Spirit Beast Bag, so he couldn’t help but ask:

"Hmm, Elder, what is it..."

"My Essence Soul!" The Elder Turtle’s gentle voice echoed.

"Back then, the cultivators of the Void Sect forcibly separated my most important strand of Essence Soul to help guard the Void Abyss, trapping it here.

I’ve stayed in this Void Abyss for tens of thousands of years; otherwise, do you think this place could truly trap me?

The Void Abyss couldn’t possibly hold me otherwise."

The Elder Turtle’s tone had hardly any emotional fluctuations.

This turtle that didn’t know how long it had lived spoke of its trapped Essence Soul without any trace of anger.

"Essence Soul?"

At this moment, Chu Ning was greatly shocked.

He had hunted and captured the Essence Soul of Tier Eight Nine-Heaven Beasts before.

Even seen the potential Essence Soul of a Tier Ten Fierce Sun Spirit Bird from its feathers.

Yet he’d always been able to tell at a glance it was the Essence Soul, not a true spirit beast.

But this small turtle before him seemed indistinguishable from an ordinary spirit beast’s physical form.

Chu Ning even suspected it might be the Elder Turtle’s offspring.

Yet never expected Essence Souls could be consolidated to such a state.

Amidst his surprise, Chu Ning busily asked:

"Elder Turtle, should I break the restriction and let your Essence Soul out now?"

"Indeed." The Elder Turtle’s voice came through.

"But this restriction is a sealing restriction, not a normal array restriction.

Your little spirit beast probably can’t slip inside, to release my Essence Soul, you’ll truly have to break the sealing restriction."

"Moreover, I cannot do it myself, or this restriction will sense my magical power and immediately extinguish the strand of Essence Soul.

Breaking the forbidden seal can only rely on you now."

Chu Ning nodded, "I’ll give it a try!"

Saying so, Chu Ning approached the transparent restriction.

After carefully sensing it, he began continuously casting mysterious spells to break the forbidden seal.

Chu Ning learned the methods to break specific restrictions originally from Divine Dream Ascendant.

He then encountered some within Jiuhua Sect as well.

Yet the most profound ones came from Di Yan on Cloud Concealment Island.

The inheritance received from the Celestial Curtain Continent not only contained abundant array formation techniques but also myriad ways to dissolve restrictions.

However, in terms of profundity, the sealing restriction before Chu Ning was equally intricate.

Chu Ning kept attempting various forbidden breaking techniques.

After spending nearly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, one of the spells cast by Chu Ning caused a slight fluctuation in the restriction.

"This technique is effective!"

Upon Chu Ning’s statement, the Elder Turtle’s voice echoed.

"The little one does have research into array restrictions, not bad.

Seems this old turtle didn’t misjudge.

A rightful master to celestial and earthly spirit beasts surely has some skills."

With the Elder Turtle’s praise, Chu Ning quickly executed dozens of spells.

These spells didn’t directly strike the restriction, but gathered in front of him.

Gradually, they formed a special talismanic rune.

As Chu Ning cast the ninety-ninth spell, the rune before him became extraordinarily radiant.

"Break!"

Chu Ning extended a finger, propelling the rune formed by ninety-nine spells forward.

Landing on that transparent restriction.

The restriction trembled for a while, suddenly turning into specks of starry light, dissipating completely!
