Chapter 4274 — Star Ink Milk
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Star Ink Milk?" Wei Zhao was visibly startled at the words. He had never heard of such a thing, but the name differed from Star Ink Stone by a single character—could there be some connection between the two?
"Indeed. Star Ink Milk may well be the most famous of all the treasures produced by the Odor Cultivation City ruins. Because it forms naturally, even if every last drop is taken by those who came before, it will gather again after a time—unlike other treasures, which must be hunted down far and wide. That is why everyone flocks to it; for nearly every soul who enters the ruins, it is a must-have." Brother Chang spoke with the utmost certainty.
"May I ask what Star Ink Milk is used for?" Wei Zhao inquired, his heart stirring. If he knew its purpose, he could essentially deduce whether the stuff had any connection to Star Ink Stone.
"Star Ink Milk is said to be a marrow-cleansing spirit liquid that can forge the strongest of Nascent Soul experts. Even for someone like me, who has already condensed a Nascent Soul, its effects after use are extraordinarily rare. A small bottle of Star Ink Milk, if put up for auction on the open market, would be worth no less than an Infant Ginseng!" At this point, even Brother Chang, who had maintained the bearing of an expert all along, could not help but let his eyes burn with intensity—clear proof of how determined he was to obtain it.
"Forge the strongest Nascent Soul experts—the effects are that exaggerated!" Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao exchanged a glance and drew a sharp breath in unison.
In Wei Zhao's heart especially, waves of shock were crashing at that moment. Star Ink Stone could forge the strongest Golden Core experts, and Star Ink Milk could forge the strongest Nascent Soul experts—was this, for heaven's sake, some kind of series?
Amid his astonishment, Wei Zhao's heart burned with excitement. He was now at the early Golden Core stage, and with the Ten-Thousand Crossing Golden Core Fruit in hand, he could advance further very soon after returning. With a bit more fortuitous encounter later on, reaching the peak of Golden Core would not be too distant a prospect.
And the key was this: the Infant Ginseng was already in his possession. If he could find a way to obtain this Star Ink Milk as well, would everything not fall into place? This was a rare opportunity indeed!
Had the other party spoken of something like Infant Ginseng, Wei Zhao might not have been moved—after all, he already had it, so its allure was not as great for him as for others. But Star Ink Milk happened to complement the Infant Ginseng perfectly, and the significance behind that was something else entirely.
"Heh heh, if not for that, why would the world invariably bring up Star Ink Milk the moment the Odor Cultivation City ruins are mentioned?" Brother Chang nodded.
"But if Star Ink Milk is so widely known, and you yourself just said that almost everyone who ventures into the ruins makes it their first stop, then by now someone has surely beaten us to it, hasn't he?" Wei Zhao asked again.
Even if Star Ink Milk could reaccumulate, it would certainly take considerable time; it could not possibly be inexhaustible like seawater.
Several days had already passed since the miasma began to disperse. Anyone with that idea would long since have headed for the Odor Cultivation City ruins. A treasure as rare in this world as Star Ink Milk would naturally be taken in whatever quantity one could carry—surely no one would be so kind as to deliberately leave a little behind for those who came after.
