Chapter 240: Medusa Wife Reappears!
"So much???"
Everyone was momentarily stunned as they gazed at the milky white liquid swaying inside a small, jade green basin like depression.
This stone cavity had been naturally carved out by the continuous dripping of liquid from the stalactite above.
The saying "Water can wear away stone" had never been more evident how many countless years must it have taken for this perfect formation to appear?
Considering that Earth Core Body Tempering Milk only condensed one drop per year, how many centuries had it taken to accumulate even this small pit of liquid? Its value was immeasurable!
Wu Tian glanced at the tiny reservoir, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
As precious as the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was, there was something even more valuable in this place.
While Han Yue and the others were still mesmerized by the sight before them, Wu Tian suddenly spread his wings and soared upward.
Spiraling around the massive stalactite, he ascended higher and higher, leaving the others watching enviously from below.
Lin Xiuya, seeing his wings, couldn't help but shake his head in silence.
Were those Dou Qi Wings?
Or an actual flying Dou Technique?
Either way, it was astonishing.
But at this point, shock had become normal when it came to Wu Tian.
They were already numb to it.
After all, if Lin Xiuya himself could achieve short bursts of flight, why wouldn't Wu Tian be able to?
Wu Tian steadily ascended alongside the colossal hundred meter long stalactite.
For anyone else, this climb would take minutes, but for Wu Tian, it was instantaneous.
Of course…
To avoid scaring them too much, he deliberately slowed his pace, taking about a minute to reach the cavern ceiling.
Looking down from above, the once imposing stalactites now resembled tiny ants.
As for Han Yue, Lin Xiuya, and the others?
They were mere specks.
His gaze swept across the cavern, taking in the faint glow emanating from the countless stalactites hanging from the ceiling.
The soft fluorescence gave this underground world an ethereal beauty.
At the peak of the largest stalactite, where it connected with the cavern ceiling, a dim, mystical radiance seeped from its crystalline surface, breathtakingly exquisite.
Wu Tian retrieved a jade blade from his storage ring and carefully pressed it against the stalactite's base.
Wrapped in Dou Qi, the blade became razor sharp.
The moment it made contact…
It slid in effortlessly.
A quiet squelch echoed as the blade's tip embedded itself into the translucent crystal like surface.
Wu Tian gripped the jade blade tightly.
He couldn't afford even the slightest tremor
Because if his hands shook, the stalactite would burst open.
Crack!
With a precise motion, he carved a circular incision.
A small, perfectly round fragment detached from the stalactite and fell.
Wu Tian swiftly caught it, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips.
At the incision site, a thick, jade colored liquid swirled, moving like a sentient being.
Yet, it did not overflow remaining contained within the circular cut.
Wu Tian gazed at the true Earth Core Body Tempering Milk in his hands and shook his head with amusement.
If one didn't have the right knowledge, who would ever find the realEarth Core Body Tempering Milk?
Honestly, he had to thank Little Yan and Old Yao for this insight.
Xiao Yan: You got any manners?
Yao Lao: You got any manners?
After sealing the liquid within a jade container, Wu Tian descended.
When he landed beside Lin Xiuya and the others, their faces were full of confusion.
Then, in an unexpectedly generous tone, Wu Tian said,
"You guys can have all the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk here. I don't need it."
"…Huh?"
They were stunned.
This treasure was unbelievably rare, yet he didn't want even a drop?
Then it dawned on them.
Wu Tian had flown up earlier he must have obtained something even more precious.
That meant… this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was worthless to him.
Wu Tian smiled faintly.
He didn't care what they thought.
Even if they realized he had something better, would they dare to attack him and steal it?
Of course not.
At this point, they were all suffering from King of Hell PTSD.
Once they had collected the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, Wu Tian scooped Han Yue into his arms and soared toward the valley exit.
Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Yan Hao exchanged bitter smiles.
They had been third wheeled again.
Not only that, but they had to walk out on their own…
Still, compared to when they first entered, their return journey was much faster.
After all, they now knew there was no real danger in the valley.
On their way out, Wu Tian casually extracted the Fifth Rank Magic Core from the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape's corpse.
With its ice attribute, it would be incredibly beneficial for Han Yue.
Embedding it into her weapon would enhance her cold attribute attacks significantly.
…It would also make her even cooler at night, which had its own perks. Heh heh…
Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Yan Hao having fully recognized the power gap between them and Wu Tian had become utterly obedient, trailing behind him in complete silence.
Wu Tian, carrying Han Yue, swiftly returned to the Inner Academy.
After ensuring she was safely back, he immediately set off for the wilderness again.
He had to avoid drawing too much attention especially from that old fox Su Qian.
High atop a remote mountain peak, Wu Tian retrieved a tiny creature from his robe.
A small Swallowing Python appeared in his hands, looking as adorable as ever.
Any girl who saw it would instantly fall in love.
…That is, until they realized what it actually was then they'd probably run for their lives.
Wu Tian took out the last Earth Core Lotus Seed, absorbed its energy into his fingertip, and reached toward the python's tiny mouth.
Strangely, unlike before, the Swallowing Python did not immediately devour the energy with its usual greed.
Instead, its large, enchanting eyes glared at Wu Tian coldly.
Then, a seductive, icy voice emerged from its mouth
"Oh, my great Guardian Spirit… You sure seemed comfortable back in the Inner Academy, holding that girl so tightly."
Before Wu Tian could even respond, the little python's mouth was already upon his.
A jolt of heat surged through his body.
The voice may have been cold, but wasn't this just Medusa being jealous?
As warmth spread through his lower abdomen, Wu Tian's mind raced.
Yet the Swallowing Python seemed determined to assert her dominance.
A shimmering, seven colored glow burst from her small body.
Wu Tian immediately understood.
Medusa had seen him getting too comfortable with another woman's waist.
And now?
She was going to remind him what a real snake like waist felt like.
Understood.
The Swallowing Python's form began to shift and morph.
Moments later, she transformed into an irresistibly seductive woman.
With her in his arms, Wu Tian felt a surge of excitement.
Without hesitation, his right hand instinctively wrapped around her waist his grip firm and possessive.
As he gazed into her flushed yet bewitching eyes, filled with icy allure, his voice softened with deep affection.
"Wife…"
