Chapter 840: Obtaining the Millennium Spiritual Milk

The Wu Que lived up to its reputation as a spiritual bird with a trace of Vermilion Phoenix bloodline; its divine abilities were far beyond those of ordinary spiritual birds.

It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of crimson flame, as thick as a baby's arm, which struck a second-tier puppet beast, causing it to show signs of melting. Spreading its wings, it swooped down from high above, its sharp talons quickly gripping the puppet beast's head, leaving two horrific claw marks.

"We can't hold them off much longer; quickly eliminate that Wu Que!" Wang Xianfen shouted loudly, the formation disk in his hand emitting a piercing screech.

"Finish this quickly; don't waste time. Activate the second-tier Hundred Swords Talismans!"

Following Wang Jiyun's command, ten cultivators from the Wang family simultaneously activated two Hundred Swords Talismans each. Thousands of glittering golden flying swords then rained down on the Wu Que. The Wu Que felt the terror of death and tried to evade, but a fierce wind erupted, and an invisible giant hand materialized out of thin air, instantly gripping its wings, rendering it immobile. It was the Wind Binding Spell.

Outnumbered and overwhelmed by the dense assault, the Wu Que was ultimately defeated, shredded by thousands of golden flying swords, utterly annihilated.

Boom!

The formation sealing the cave entrance shattered, and two more Wu Ques rushed out. Wang Xianfen and the others were prepared. They simultaneously activated second-tier spirit talismans and controlled second-tier puppet beasts to attack the two Wu Ques. In an instant, giant fireballs, massive yellow boulders, silver lightning bolts, and all sorts of second-tier spells rained down on the two Wu Ques.

A series of rumbling sounds erupted, and the spiritual lights of various spells flashed incessantly. After five breaths, the spiritual lights dissipated. The two Wu Ques were gone, with only a few black tail feathers scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jiyun and the others collectively sighed in relief. They all sat cross-legged, took Spirit Recovery Pills, and began to restore their magic power. A quarter of an hour later, their magic power was fully restored.

"Xiansheng, Xianfen, you two go in first to scout ahead and see if there are any remaining dangers. The rest of you, remain on alert." Wang Jiyun instructed. Despite having slain three second-tier demonic birds, she remained cautious. The lives of over twenty clan members rested on her shoulders; she had to be careful.

Wang Xiansheng and Wang Xianfen acknowledged and entered the cave. Not long after, they arrived in a rocky cavern about an acre in size. The ground was damp, and the cave was filled with an unusual fragrance. From the ceiling hung numerous white, elongated cones, pure white like jade. Beneath the tips of these cones was a large depression, and at the bottom of the depression was a large pool of pure white liquid, emanating a refined spiritual energy.

Wang Xiansheng observed carefully for a moment. After confirming there was no danger, he stepped forward to examine the white liquid in the depression.

"Yes, it's indeed Thousand-Year Spirit Milk."

Spirit Milk is a kind of natural spiritual treasure in the cultivation world. It has the same effect as magic power recovery pills, but unlike pills, which require slow refinement of their medicinal properties, Spirit Milk can instantly restore a cultivator's spiritual energy. Spirit Milk is categorized into Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. The most precious is naturally the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk; it is said that even a Nascent Soul cultivator can instantly restore their magic power by consuming a single drop.

On the stone wall to the left was a bird's nest several yards wide, holding three spiritual bird eggs the size of watermelons.

"There's no danger here; come in!" Wang Xiansheng sent a message to Wang Jiyun using a communication disk, stating that without the combined efforts of twenty-one clan members, they might not have been able to slay the three Wu Ques.

There were a total of 325 drops of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. Wang Jiyun took twenty drops, and the rest were distributed among the other clan members. As for the three spiritual bird eggs, Wang Jiyun, Wang Xiansheng, and Wang Rongting each took one. Given that the Wu Ques possessed a trace of Vermilion Phoenix bloodline, who wouldn't want to raise a spiritual bird with such great potential? Incidentally, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were also raising Nine Cloud Sparrows. The Nine Cloud Sparrows' bloodline naturally couldn't compare to that of the Wu Ques.

After exiting the cave, Wang Jiyun led her clan members eastward. As long as they worked together, they could minimize casualties. Their purpose for this trip was to search for spiritual herbs, but more importantly, to investigate the situation within the secret realm. This way, Wang Changsheng could dispatch more people to search for spiritual herbs, tailored to the realm's conditions. The entire secret realm belonged to the Wang family, so there was no need to rush.

Wang Changsheng and four others guarded the secret realm's exit. They remained silent, but their expressions were all somewhat anxious. Since the establishment of the Wang family, they had never possessed a secret realm. This particular secret realm had not been opened for hundreds of years, and no one knew what dangers lay within.

"Qingshan, you are currently an elder in charge at Taiyi Immortal Sect. What tasks has the Taiyi Immortal Sect assigned you?" Wang Changsheng asked casually. The Taiyi Immortal Sect wasn't simply being kind to Wang Qingshan without reason; strictly speaking, it was an exchange.

"Master-Uncle Sect Leader told me to cooperate with Taiyi Immortal Sect's actions in the South Sea. The specific actions weren't detailed, but since our family has already moved to operate in the shadows, I can act freely." Wang Qingshan's gaze was firm. His family was his root and his sword sheath. Now that the family was developing in the shadows, he didn't have to worry about enemies retaliating against clan members and could act without restraint.

He couldn't touch the Nine Underworld Sect, but Yellow Dragon Island was not an issue. The Taiyi Immortal Sect also wanted to make a move on Yellow Dragon Island, and now all that was needed was an opportunity. Yellow Dragon Island, Cold Flame Gate, and Skysea Pavilion were not truly rivals of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. The Taiyi Immortal Sect feared the powers behind these three sects. To put it plainly, these three powers were vassals of the Ten Major Sects of the South Sea and served as pawns for the Ten Major Sects to check the Taiyi Immortal Sect's growth. The Ten Major Sects of the South Sea also had branches in the Eastern Wilderness and were similarly ostracized by the Seven Great Immortal Sects. Minor skirmishes were common, but large-scale conflicts were rare. The Ten Major Sects of the South Sea looked down on the barren Eastern Wilderness, while the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Wilderness coveted the resource-rich South Sea. With external factors at play, the Ten Major Sects of the South Sea naturally wouldn't engage in internal strife and give outsiders an opportunity.

"Being too prominent attracts trouble, and being too conspicuous is not a good thing, so be extra careful. The Cloudsea Sect's treasury has some Cold Flame Bamboo over five hundred years old, which would be perfect for refining a set of flying sword magic treasures for you and also repairing your Azure Glaze Sword." Wang Changsheng said meaningfully. He held great expectations for Wang Qingshan, this junior.

Refining a complete set of magic treasures takes a considerable amount of time. Wang Changsheng had only ever refined a set of magic treasures for Wang Qingshan; Wang Qingjing hadn't received such treatment.

"Thank you, Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle, Ninth Aunt, if you need any materials, just tell me. I am now an elder in charge at Taiyi Immortal Sect, and I can use contribution points to exchange for various cultivation resources from the sect. As long as I have enough contribution points, I can even exchange for Nascent Soul forming spiritual items."

"It's enough that you have the thought. Remember, your safety is paramount in everything you do. Nascent Soul forming spiritual items? That amount of contribution points will likely be very difficult to accumulate." Wang Changsheng dismissed the idea. The Taiyi Immortal Sect was offering a grand but distant promise; he didn't believe anything from the Taiyi Immortal Sect would be easy to obtain. Who would do business at a loss?

Everything has its pros and cons. Wang Qingshan could use contribution points to exchange for cultivation resources from Taiyi Immortal Sect, but the prerequisite was accumulating enough contribution points.

"Seventh Brother, if you move against Yellow Dragon Island, count me in. As for Ye Lang, spare him. After all, he didn't directly kill any clan members and even let me go once."

Wang Qingshan nodded in agreement.
