"Look!" Yu Yanluo pointed to the huge icicle hanging above the cold pool. The surface of the icicle was faintly covered with water vapor, which slowly sank down and condensed into a drop of milky white liquid at the tip.
At first, the water droplet was very small, but it became fuller and fuller at a visible speed.
The spiritual energy inside the ice cave grew increasingly dense. At this point, even a fool would know that the drop of liquid was an extremely rare and precious treasure.
The drop of divine milk at the tip of the icicle quickly grew larger and larger, until it wobbled precariously, as if it might drip down at any moment.
Zu An hurriedly stepped forward to collect it, but Yu Yanluo quickly stopped him: "Purple Frost Divine Milk is a divine object of heaven and earth. It must be collected for a full year and month to have any effect. If you collect it in advance, it will be no different from ordinary liquid. At most, it will just be more concentrated with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"Then we have to wait until it drips before we can collect it?" Zuan pressed. He had only been in this world for a short time, and his knowledge of these secrets was certainly not as good as that of a patriarch like Yu Yanluo.
Yu Yanluo nodded: "That's right. We must wait until it is fully mature and falls from the mother plant. However, we must hurry because this thing dissolves in water and turns into soil. We must collect it in the short time before it falls into the cold pool."
Zuan nodded. Although the entire process from the icicle to the surface of the cold pool was very short, it was not a big problem for a cultivator.
With his current cultivation level, he could catch not a single drop, let alone a single drop, even if hundreds of drops fell at the same time.
"It's not that simple." At this moment, Yu Yanluo sized her up. "You really want this thing, don't you?"
Zu An readily admitted, "That's right. A very important person of mine has suffered a severe injury to their soul and is on the verge of death. They need this item to save their life, so I am determined to obtain the Purple Frost Divine Milk. However, this item was discovered by my wife and me together, and theoretically, it belongs to my wife as well... But I have no choice but to use other rare and precious treasures to make up for my wife's loss. I hope my wife will understand."
Yu Yanluo chuckled: "You've saved my life several times. Compared to what I've received from you, what is a mere Purple Frost Divine Milk?"
"Besides, I don't need this. You can take it. There's no need for any compensation."
Zu An didn't hesitate at all: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I will never forget your kindness in this lifetime!"
He also knew that with such a divine substance as Purple Frost Divine Milk, how could Yu Yanluo possibly not need it? He naturally had to remember this favor.
Yu Yanluo's pretty face flushed slightly: "What are you talking about? Who needs your repayment? Here, take this and use it to receive the Purple Frost Divine Milk."
He handed over a porcelain bottle, its surface warm and smooth, clearly made of the finest jade.
"What is this?" Zu An asked instinctively as he took it.
Yu Yanluo explained, "The Purple Frost Divine Milk is no ordinary substance. It cannot be contained in anything else, otherwise it will be directly pierced and turn into nothingness. Only a jade container can hold it safely. I have deduced this from some legends and records of the Purple Frost Divine Milk presented to the Emperor by the previous Duke of Yunzhong."
Zuan was overjoyed: "Then I really have to thank you, Madam, otherwise I might have missed this once-in-a-millennium divine object."
Yu Yanlu smiled and said, "Get ready, it looks like we're about to fall."
Zuan nodded, his mind already focused on that drop of Purple Frost Divine Milk.
The droplet of liquid grew increasingly full, trembling precariously at the tip of the icicle, and after a few seconds, it finally fell down.
Seeing this, Zuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and swiftly appeared beneath the ice shards, placing the prepared jade bottle on its inevitable path of descent.
As they watched the drop of Purple Frost Divine Milk enter the jade bottle, both Zu'an and Yu Yanluo smiled.
However, their smiles quickly froze on their faces.
Because that drop of Purple Frost Divine Milk actually pierced through the jade bottle and continued to fall down.
Zu An was shocked to see this and hurriedly descended again to catch it with the jade bottle. Unfortunately, he caught it twice in a row and it was exactly the same as before.
"Madam, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Zu An asked quickly.
Yu Yanluo looked bewildered: "That's right, it should be received in a jade bottle, how could this be?"
In the short time that Zuan had taken out various other objects from the glass bead and tried them one by one, the drop of purple frost divine milk seemed to be invisible, passing through it easily and directly, and no container could catch it.
"What on earth is going on!" Zu An was covered in cold sweat. If he really missed this drop of Purple Frost Divine Milk, he probably wouldn't have another chance to find a second drop anytime soon.
Are we just going to stand by and watch Mi Li die?
But he had tried everything he could, and he still couldn't accept that drop of Purple Frost Divine Milk.
At this moment, the drop of liquid was only a little over a foot away from the surface of the cold pool, and it would probably disappear completely in the blink of an eye.
"What should I do?" Zuan felt a chill run through his body.
Wait a minute, I can't even handle this now that I'm moving around freely. Jian Yanyou was in a state of suspended animation and pretending to be dead before, so how could he be so sure that he could get the Purple Frost Divine Milk?
It's impossible for him to wake up exactly when the Purple Frost Divine Milk fell. According to what he and Uncle Ming said before, it seems that he woke up naturally after the Purple Frost Divine Milk had fallen.
But he hasn't woken up and can't move, so how could he get the Purple Frost Divine Milk?
Could it be that the Purple Frost Divine Milk fell into the icy pool and nourished his body?
No, Yu Yanluo just mentioned that this thing dissolves in water and will disappear immediately.
Perhaps because he had faced life and death so many times, he became calmer and his thoughts raced as the emergency approached.
