149: Moonstone Milk, the Blood of the Stone Clan!
When Chuanwen heard his father's words, although he was being scolded on the surface for his low strength, he knew his father was actually worried about his safety, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
"Father, in that case, I'll take these two Magical Artifacts for now. If anyone needs them later, they can just come to me and get them!"
Chen Chuanwen said in a low voice, then took the White Cloud Cover and the golden seal.
"Alright, the matter is settled. It's time for us to return to Jade Dragon Peak. After we get home, refine the Magical Artifacts you've obtained!"
Seeing Zhao Song and Steamed Bun return, Chen Changsheng patted Zhao Song's shoulder, and the group headed toward Jade Dragon Peak.

Chen Changsheng knew that when he killed Lan Jiuying's family, he had surely left traces of the Chen family. The Gu God Cult would certainly not let it go. Currently, it was only because Ma Zhiwen was suppressing them. Once Ma Zhiwen left, there would inevitably be a battle between them and the Gu God Cult!
"I still need to hurry and improve my strength! First, I must heal Chuanjie's injuries!"
Returning to Jade Dragon Peak, Chuanwen and Chuanwu went to refine their Magical Artifacts, while Chuanjie and Shangguan Zhuiyue went to roast fish. After thinking for a while, Chen Changsheng decided to head to the Stone Clan as soon as possible to retrieve the moonlight stone milk.
He went to the Black Ice Platform's stronghold in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range and found Old Kuai directly.
"Old Kuai, I need you to lead me into Ailao Mountain to visit the Stone Clan!"
Chen Changsheng said to Old Kuai with a smile, and Old Kuai hurriedly replied with a smile of his own.
"No problem, Head of the Chen Family. When do we set off?"
"Right now!"
Chen Changsheng said, looking toward Ailao Mountain. Old Kuai nodded and, without wasting words, grabbed his equipment and led Chen Changsheng toward Ailao Mountain.
In Ailao Mountain, the clouds and winds still shifted unpredictably, and a hundred ghosts wailed in the night. However, Chen Changsheng already had experience; knowing that the path Old Kuai took was safe, much of the apprehension in his heart vanished.
Soon, the two arrived at the Stone Clan's valley.
"Head of the Chen Family, please!"
Old Kuai made an inviting gesture, and Chen Changsheng followed him into the valley.
As soon as Chen Changsheng arrived, the Stone Clan people immediately went to invite Clan Chief Sister Yu to come out.
"Haha! Head of the Chen Family, thank you for helping my Stone Clan resolve a century-old grudge with the Five Poisons Tribe!"
Sister Yu was very happy to see Chen Changsheng and stepped forward to give him a bear hug. Although Chen Changsheng really wanted to refuse, for the sake of the relationship between the two clans, he could only silently endure it!
"Oh, it was just looking up some information, not worth mentioning!"
Chen Changsheng hurriedly spoke with humility. Sister Yu let go of Chen Changsheng and said with a smile:
"You've come this time for that moonlight stone milk, haven't you?"
Sister Yu's temper was just like that of the Stone Clan people—straightforward. She asked the key question right away.
"That's right, Clan Chief Yu. My son Chuanjie's Meridians are completely shattered, and he needs moonlight stone milk for treatment. I hope Clan Chief Yu can grant me this convenience!"
Chen Changsheng said to Sister Yu with cupped hands. Sister Yu laughed heartily and pulled Chen Changsheng toward the depths of the valley.
"Our Stone Clan and the Five Poisons Tribe have already resolved our grievances. Keeping the holy flower is useless now. You may take as much of that moonlight stone milk as you want!"
At the bottom of the valley, a cave appeared. Sister Yu pointed at the cave and said:
"The holy flower is inside the cave. This cave is our clan's Holy Land and can only be entered during sacrificial rituals. I won't accompany you inside!"
Chen Changsheng nodded. He knew that Local Chieftains like Sister Yu always had some special rules, and he chose to comply—after all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!
"Thank you, Clan Chief Yu. Then I shall head in!"
Chen Changsheng stepped into the cave. It was pitch black inside. Chen Changsheng performed a hand seal to summon a ball of fire to light up the cave.
"Fortunately, this cave isn't large. As long as I follow this path straight down, I can find the moonlight grass!"
Chen Changsheng murmured softly, then proceeded along the cave. About half an hour later, he reached the bottom.
There was a skylight here, and sunlight fell through the opening in the cave, illuminating the place brightly.
Beneath the skylight grew clusters of moonlight grass, reflecting the sunlight like a field of stars on the ground.
"moonlight grass... this should be the place!"
Seeing the moonlight grass, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but look delighted. He stepped forward and began to observe the surrounding terrain.
He had once studied some knowledge of Formations and soon discovered that the center of the moonlight grass was the convergence point of the ley lines.
"The moonlight stone milk should be right here!"
Having pinpointed the location, Chen Changsheng began to dig. Although the cave floor was very hard, Chen Changsheng was a Cultivator and soon dug down three feet.
Once the loose soil was cleared away, a stone glowing with blue light appeared before Chen Changsheng.
"This must be the moonlight stone mentioned in the records. It absorbs the power of moonlight and, combined with the Qi of the ley lines, nurtures moonlight stone milk within its core!"
Seeing the moonlight stone, Chen Changsheng felt completely at ease. He then took the stone out.
"Break!"
Chen Changsheng circulated his technique and split the moonlight stone in two with a palm strike. The blue stone parted, revealing the milky-white moonlight stone milk inside.
"There's actually so much stone milk; it's enough to fill a whole bottle!"
Chen Changsheng said with a look of surprise. One must know that moonlight stone milk is usually measured in drops, yet the amount here was enough for a bottle—at least over a hundred drops!
"Legend says that near moonlight stone, there will also be moonlight stone marrow..."
As Chen Changsheng collected the moonlight stone milk into a jade bottle, he looked into the hole he had dug, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.
"moonlight stone marrow is a supreme treasure for Foundation Establishment; it can increase the success rate of reaching that stage!"
"Better not be greedy. It's already a blessing to have obtained the stone milk. Why dig up the Stone Clan's Foundation as well?"
Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. With the moonlight stone marrow present, moonlight stones could be continuously born, and moonlight grass would continue to grow here in the future.
"If I were to take the moonlight stone milk, the Foundation here would be completely destroyed, and moonlight grass would never grow again."
Chen Changsheng tucked the jade bottle containing the moonlight stone milk into his robes and was about to leave the cave when he suddenly noticed a flash of red light from deep within.
As soon as that light appeared, it caused the blood in Chen Changsheng's body to flow faster, exerting a powerful attraction on his Physical Body.
"What is that?"
Curiosity flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes as he moved toward that thread of blood-colored light.
"Stone Clan Tyrant Blood!"
"Archaic Tyrant Body Cultivation Method!"
...Chen Changsheng looked at the stone wall at the end of the cave and saw lines of characters carved upon it. After reading them, he couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out that the people of the Stone Clan were descendants of a mighty expert who had cultivated his Physical Body to the Nascent Soul stage. However, as the Stone Clan Bloodline gradually thinned, they were no longer able to withstand the Stone Clan Tyrant Blood left by their ancestor, let alone practice the Archaic Tyrant Body Cultivation Method.
Thus, a Stone Clan Senior buried the final drop of Stone Clan Tyrant Blood here. Their clan's sacrificial rituals were merely to find a Stone Clan member who could withstand the Tyrant Blood.
"Once someone capable of withstanding the Tyrant Blood was found, the cause and effect would be revealed on the stone wall!"
