...
The next morning, Liu Xin brought a cup of milky white liquid to Xiao Zhan’s dining table.
Xiao Zhan looked at her and curiously remarked, "When did you beco a milk deliverer?"
"It’s not any milk deliverer, this is life."
Liu Xin placed the cup of liquid in front of Xiao Zhan.
Then she continued, "This is the Life Source I extracted for you. It’s brimming with Life Force. Drink it while it’s fresh, or it will lose its flavor soon."
Xiao Zhan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was sothing odd about her words.
It seed like he had heard it sowhere before.
But he couldn’t rember.
"Is this the life-enhancing thing you ntioned? You made it so quickly?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"It’s just so low-level dicinal materials; extraction is not difficult. Hose has built a top-notch laboratory; it’s quite convenient."
Liu Xin explained and then pushed the cup a bit closer, "Hurry up and drink it. With each passing second, the loss of Life Force contained in here is imasurable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan scanned it with his Perception.
Indeed, the cup was filled to the brim with potent Life Force.
Just by slling it, he felt rejuvenated with youthful vitality.
Xiao Zhan didn’t hesitate further and gulped it down.
Upon swallowing, there was no liquid sensation but a pure energy sensation instead. As it entered his throat, it instantly transford into nurous small streams, surging into every part of his body.
Xiao Zhan felt a warm sensation throughout his body, comfortable from the inside out, especially in areas like the joints, organs, and ridians, where the warmth was even more pronounced.
This feeling did not last long, less than three seconds.
But Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a vibrant light.
"Comfortable, feels like I’ve just eradicated rheumatism."
Liu Xin, seeing this, was also happy, "This cup’s worth will sustain you for a day’s Life Force, and you’ll need to drink it daily. Later, we’ll need to increase the dose."
"Can’t I drink more at once?" At this mont, Ye Youlong spoke up.
Xiao Zhan had told her about the conversation he had with Liu Xin yesterday, just not the part about dissolving the Contract.
Liu Xin glanced at her and explained, "It’s not impossible, but we simply don’t have enough resources. The Spirit Fruits and dicinal materials rich in Life Force are very hard to co by. Besides, extraction is an exhausting task; one cup a day is already the limit. Unless we find an extrely pure source of Life Force, we can only do one cup a day."
"So you’re saying, from now on wherever I go, I have to bring you along?" Xiao Zhan said.
"Not necessarily. You still have plenty of ti. Drink when you want to, and store it when you don’t. Kept in Dinsion Space, it won’t lose its effect. When you’re completely out of ti, just take it out to prolong your life."
"Heh, that’s quite a good solution," Xiao Zhan said sarcastically.
"There’s no other way." Liu Xin shrugged her shoulders, then added, "Basically, the best approach is to find those high-grade Spirit Fruits and dicinal materials. Finding even one can extend your life for a considerable period."
"Fine then."
Xiao Zhan nodded, as this was the only way to maintain his condition for now.
After finishing the al.
Xiao Zhan went to check on the seeds nurtured by the Breathing Soil.
The seeds had grown into a small sapling, changing by the day. It was now twenty centiters tall.
But Xiao Zhan still couldn’t tell the variety.
He thought about asking Liu Xin to take a look since her eyes were more incredible than Hose’s Machine Brain; whether she recognized sothing or not, she could discern all its information with just one glance.
But after so thought, he decided against it. Sothing so rare and precious, he couldn’t fully trust her after all. It was better to stay alert.
Besides, if she ca here, she might find out the Breathing Soil is Secret Realm Origin.
Two such treasures, it’s hard to guarantee she wouldn’t be tempted.
After checking on it, he went back to training.
Though training impacted lifespan, in this world, unless it’s the very end, one cannot afford to stop training for a single day.
Because you can never know whether tomorrow or an accident will co first.
Returning to his residence.
Just as he was about to start his training. At this mont, a distortion suddenly appeared in the sky in the direction outside of Northern City, covering a large area and almost half of the sky.
Beneath this phenonon, Xiao Zhan imdiately felt an extrely oppressive aura, as if behind the distortion, sothing unknown and terrifying was about to break free.
Fortunately, the distortion was brief; it lasted less than half a minute.
Ye Youlong quickly arrived by his side, "What happened?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head gravely, "I don’t know."
Then, the communicator sounded.
It was Ye Wudi calling, "Xiao Zhan, you and Youlong co over. Waiting for you in the command hall."
Xiao Zhan sensed the seriousness in his voice. Could there be a problem?
Definitely related to the anomaly just now.
He imdiately went to the command hall with Ye Youlong.
Soon after, the two arrived.
Ye Wudi had been waiting there for a long ti.
Upon seeing them, he imdiately briefed them, "You must have seen the sky anomaly just now. It’s a signal that a Secret Realm is appearing. After the distortion ended, radar detected an energy fluctuation three hundred kiloters outside Northern City. I’ve already dispatched scouts and drones to investigate. We’ll hear back soon."
Then, pointing at the red energy peak on the monitoring screen, he said, "The Secret Realm that just appeared is not small. I have already instructed the army to be on top-level military readiness, hoping we won’t face the worst outco."
The worst outco.
That would an this Secret Realm is a Demon Beast Realm, filled with terrifying Demon Beasts.
Typically, if such a situation occurs, it would an Northern City might face a life-or-death war.
Everyone anxiously waited, the entire atmosphere in the command hall heavy with tension.
It wasn’t long before the drone’s feed ca through.
Upon seeing the footage, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Secret Realm in the footage was clear and bright, with beautiful scenery, rivers, and streams, and a picturesque sight to behold. Various strange Spirit Fruits made it seem like a paradise – nowhere could any terrifying Demon Beasts be seen.
"Report, no threatening Demon Beasts have been discovered yet."
The scout’s voice transmitted through the footage.
"Received. Continue investigating," Ye Wudi commanded.
"Roger."
The footage continued to delve deeper.
But now, the mood in the command hall had relaxed significantly.
Generally, whatever the first scene observed upon entering a Secret Realm is what the Realm will primarily be like. It’s rare to encounter those peaceful on the surface but inwardly horrifying situations.
"It looks like we’re in luck this ti. It’s rare for a large-scale Secret Realm like this to appear near Northern City," said Ye Wudi with a faint smile on his face.
Generally, when a Secret Realm appears near a military jurisdiction area, the military enjoys the first right of use. Continue the excitent on fr ee
If this Secret Realm is not dangerous, then it will be a significant opportunity for Northern City.
