Chapter 503 - 485: Magical Uses of Earth Stone Milk

Su Yu closed his eyes to meditate, feeling the vigorous Evil Qi whistling through his body.

This Demon Tiger was murderous by nature. The Evil Qi it provided him was even more than what the two Profound Bone Realm Hall Masters combined had offered. It was simply terrifying.

BUBBLE BUBBLE...

The Evil Qi on the surface of his body began to bubble like boiling water. The clothes on Su Yu’s body were gradually corroded and dissipated by the Evil Qi.

It wasn’t until a full fifteen minutes later that he finally suppressed the rotation of the spherical mass of Evil Qi hovering above his Dantian.

Now, the diameter of this Evil Qi sphere had expanded by another circle. It hovered above his Dantian, radiating like a small blood-red sun.

This increased his combat power significantly, but the need to suppress the Evil Qi had become imminent.

He thought, "Now, my strongest Saber Technique is still Prison Suppression. A single slash is enough for me to fight across realms. Below the Early Stage of the Profound Bone Realm, almost no one can stop it.

"However, Prison Suppression also consumes a lot. It drains not only Qi and Blood but also Spiritual Power, so I can’t use it continuously. For ordinary battles, I still need the augmentation of the Subduing Demons and Demon-Vibrating stances, along with the attachment of this terrifying Ape Demon Evil Qi!

"I can’t afford not to use this Ape Demon Evil Qi; otherwise, it would be no different from cutting off my own arm. It seems I need to find an opportunity to contact the Jiang Family."

Su Yu closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a while longer, then took out a fresh set of clothes from his Sumeru Mustard Seed and put them on. He did not immediately clean up the battlefield; instead, he went to the cave entrance and brought Yang Zhen inside first.

"Brother Su, are you alright? This Demon Tiger was so powerful, yet you just killed it like that?"

Although Yang Zhen had expected this, seeing the Demon Tiger’s massive, hill-like corpse still left her feeling astounded.

A Tier Four Demon Beast—a Demon Tiger comparable to the Profound Bone Realm—had died right before her eyes. She had never seen such a sight before.

"It’s fine. I just suffered some minor injuries."

Su Yu lifted his clothes. His abdomen had been slightly grazed by the terrifying tiger claws. That single strike had instantly shattered the armor formed by his Formless Flowing Gold, even tearing open his skin and membrane.

However, with the Divine Law of Flesh Healing, this slight injury was practically negligible. At this moment, it was already visibly mostly healed.

Yang Zhen and Su Yu were incredibly close, so she naturally knew of his body’s powerful self-healing ability and wasn’t worried at all.

"Brother Su, this Demon Tiger is full of treasures! If we extract this Tiger Tendon, we can probably refine quite a few Tiger Sinew Pills and Jiao Tendon Pills! There is also the Tiger Bone, which can be used to forge top-grade weapons, and the tiger pelt can be made into a set of close-fitting Inner Armor..."

A look of joy appeared on Yang Zhen’s face. Now that her Cultivation Realm was rising, her consumption of top-grade Pills like the Tiger Sinew Pill and Jiao Tendon Pill was quite rapid.

With this Demon Tiger today, if a new batch of Pills was refined, it would definitely enhance her strength significantly.

"There’s something even better. Come look at this Earth Stone Milk, Zhen’Er!"

Su Yu smiled and beckoned her over to check the Earth Stone Milk in the puddle.

"Earth Stone Milk comparable to the Profound Tier!"

Yang Zhen’s knowledge was not lacking at all now. She recognized it at a glance, and her face lit up with even more joy.

"Brother Su, this item is too precious. Hurry up and absorb it right here!"

Su Yu had exactly the same intention. To avoid any unforeseen complications, it was best to absorb it here and now.

"This Earth Stone Milk can strengthen one’s foundation. There is so much of it here that I can’t finish it alone. Zhen’Er, come absorb it with me."

"No, you absorb it first, Brother Su!"

Yang Zhen immediately shook her head in refusal, her attitude resolute.

Su Yu smiled helplessly. Knowing her temperament, he stopped insisting and sat cross-legged beside the stone puddle. He reached out, scooped up some Earth Stone Milk, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

As the stone milk entered his mouth, it brought a cooling sensation mixed with a faint, refreshing fragrance, rolling down his throat and into his stomach.

In just a few breaths, that cooling sensation transformed into a warm energy. Like a gentle flame, it slowly spread within his abdomen.

Su Yu performed a Divine Sense Internal Observation, carefully feeling this earth-fire-like warmth gradually flowing to all parts of his body.

Unlike the various Pills he had taken before, where the medicinal efficacy was overbearing and fierce, the entire circulation process here transformed into countless trickling streams. They silently seeped into his internal organs, muscles, bones, skin, and membranes.

It was like a fine spring rain falling continuously, silently nourishing everything as it soaked into every corner of his body.

The subtle hidden injuries accumulated in his body from the previous great battle, along with the minute tears from practicing martial arts that hadn’t had time to heal, rapidly recovered under the nourishment of the Earth Stone Milk.

The muscles all over his body became full and robust once more, and strands of Qi and Blood were generated from deep within his bone marrow, continuously merging into the pathways of his Qi and Blood circulation.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Along with the generation of Qi and Blood, his heart beat increasingly forcefully, constantly driving more Qi and Blood to flow toward his limbs and bones.

Feeling the extraordinary effects of the Earth Stone Milk, Su Yu did not hesitate to consume another handful.

[Breakthrough Point Progress +15%]

[Breakthrough Point Progress +15%]

As the energy of the Earth Stone Milk dissipated within him, the progress of his Breakthrough Point also began to increase synchronously.

Before long, his body’s absorption of the Earth Stone Milk reached its limit.

His body temperature continuously rose, and his skin began to flush blood-red. The moist water vapor in the karst cave constantly transformed into rising white mist, making Su Yu look as if he were standing amidst ethereal fairy fog.

However, he didn’t have time to observe the changes on the surface of his body, as deeper changes began to manifest inside him.

The golden Jiao Dragon Great Tendons within his body, which originally had a slightly dim golden luster, were now becoming solid and concentrated. Countless tiny fascias extended and intertwined within his flesh and blood, emitting a brilliant golden light as they bound his muscles and bones even more tightly together.

It was like the gears of a machine that originally had slight gaps; at this moment, they became much tighter, interlocking flawlessly.

This change was precisely the manifestation of his body’s foundation strengthening. It wasn’t just a simple change in Qi and Blood, his Great Tendons, or outward strength. It was an enhancement of the human body’s very foundation. This determined that in the future, even walking the same path, Su Yu would be able to go faster and stand taller!

A full several hours later, Su Yu had consumed nearly more than half of the Earth Stone Milk, and the overall enhancement of his body’s foundation thoroughly concluded.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air, a flash resembling Thunder seemingly darting through his eyes. As he stood up, the Great Tendons beneath his skin and flesh pulled taut, and his bones settled firmly into place. His entire body felt as if it had been completely compacted and reinforced.

"Brother Su, how do you feel?"

Seeing Su Yu stand up, Yang Zhen’s face lit up with joy, and she hurried over to ask.

"Excellent. My Realm hasn’t changed in the slightest, but my foundation has been greatly strengthened. My strength should have accordingly increased by twenty to thirty percent.

"In the future, whether I break through to the Profound Bone Realm or the Divine Storage Realm, I’ll be able to reap even greater benefits from this. It truly deserves to be called a Profound Tier rare treasure!

"My innate aptitude might also slowly improve along with it. When I have time, I can test it again."

Su Yu stretched his body for a bit. After confirming that everything was fine, he summoned his interface again to check his newly acquired Skill Level points.

[Breakthrough Point]: 1 point (Progress 8%)

It turned out that when he was Breaking Limit for the three Traits of the Spiritual Ape Demon-Slaying Saber, he had used up all his Breakthrough Points, leaving his progress at less than ten percent.

Now, with this enhancement of his foundation, the dissipated energy from the Earth Stone Milk directly allowed him to harvest one Skill Level point!

He looked at the remaining Earth Stone Milk—there was only about a handful left—so he turned to look at Zhen’Er.

"Zhen’Er, hurry up and consume this."

"Brother Su, I don’t want it. You should continue to absorb it."

Seeing that she was still so resolute, Su Yu immediately put on a stern face.

Now, the Earth Stone Milk provided very little enhancement for him. Moreover, there wasn’t much left, so it was far less worthwhile than using it to improve Zhen’Er’s strength.

"Open your mouth!"

He scooped up the milky white liquid and walked over to Yang Zhen. He shot her a glare, which instantly made her quiet down obediently and kneel on the ground.

Yang Zhen tilted her swan-like neck up slightly and opened her cherry-red mouth, her emerald-green eyes flashing with a trace of happiness as she looked at Su Yu.
