Chapter Ninety-Nine: Devouring Stone Marrow!



The success of Xishan outdoor live streaming has given Zhang Shaozhong a taste of success.

The live stream's popularity skyrocketed, and fan loyalty increased significantly. More importantly, although the "bee-repelling incident" was barely explained away with "science," the thrill and the "unconventional" abilities that the two big shots inadvertently displayed made the live stream content uniquely attractive.

However, Zhang Shaozhong kept Mo Huaiyuan's words and that Wood Spirit Stone in his mind.

There must be some secrets at Luoxia Ravine!

The last live stream was just a brief taste; this time, he decided to organize a more in-depth "adventure" with a clear goal—to find a possible source of spiritual energy!

This time, Zhang Shaozhong was much better prepared: a powerful flashlight, climbing ropes, and even a small drone, intending to explore in all directions.

Of course, live streaming equipment is essential, and the title is already prepared: [Immortals and Demons Revisit Sunset Valley! Venturing into Unexplored Territory, Searching for Lost Auras!]

Returning to Luoxia Ravine, having avoided the weekend crowds, the valley felt even more tranquil.

The stream murmurs, and birds sing in the secluded mountains.

Zhang Shaozhong piloted the drone for an aerial survey while narrating to the camera: "Family members, today we're going to follow the stream upstream and explore the upper reaches of Luoxia Ravine. It's a place rarely visited, so we might make some new discoveries!"

Ling Qingxue was still in charge of "technical guidance." She sensed the changes in the surrounding air and pointed out the direction: "Going upstream along the stream, the water vapor becomes denser. There seems to be something different in the depths of the forest ahead."

This time, Ye Meier was more serious. She released part of her senses and carefully searched for any abnormal energy fluctuations.

After walking for about half an hour, we passed a dense thicket of bushes and suddenly the view opened up to a narrow cave entrance that was partially hidden by vines and boulders.

The entrance to the cave was only wide enough for one person to pass through. It was pitch black inside, with a faint breeze and damp moisture seeping out.

"This is it!" Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier spoke almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the cave entrance.

Ling Qingxue: "The atmosphere inside the cave is more concentrated, and the water and wood energies converge and swirl here."

Night Enchantress: "There's a... very faint but pure scent inside! It's a bit like that broken stone, but it's also not quite the same!"

The viewers in the live stream got excited: "Wow! They really found a cave!"

"The adventure begins!"

"Could there be treasure inside?"

"Be careful, fairy!"

Zhang Shaozhong was both nervous and excited. He adjusted the camera on his helmet and turned on his powerful flashlight: "Family, we're going in! Follow our camera and let's explore together!"

He bent down and crawled inside first, followed closely by Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier.

The cave was initially very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area!

Inside is a not-too-large natural cave, with a few rays of sunlight filtering through a crack in the ceiling, illuminating the slippery stone walls and a small pool of water.

The pool was crystal clear, seemingly replenished by an underground spring.

The most eye-catching feature is a protruding, oddly shaped blue rock in the center of the pool.

The surface of the rock was covered with moss, but in a depression at the top of the rock, a small pool of milky white liquid with an extremely faint fluorescent glow had condensed!

The pure and rich aura that Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier found strange emanated from this small pool of liquid!

"Is this... stalactite? Or the prototype of earth spirit milk?"

Ling Qingxue showed a rare look of shock, and quickly walked to the edge of the pool to observe it carefully.

"No wonder the spiritual energy outside is depleted, yet this place still has vitality! It turns out to be a remnant of the earth's essence, which has slowly condensed here over countless years! Although it is far from being fully formed and its quality is impure, it does indeed possess a trace of... spiritual energy!"

Ye Meier also came over, her eyes shining: "What a treasure! Although the quantity is pitifully small and the quality is poor, in this godforsaken place, it's already a top-tier supplement! If I absorb this little bit, at least I can stabilize my current crappy cultivation level!"

Although Zhang Shaozhong couldn't sense what it was, he knew from the reactions of the two big shots that he had hit the jackpot!

He quickly pointed the camera at the pool of milky white liquid and the two excited bigwigs.

The live stream chat was going crazy: "Holy crap! They really found some rare and precious treasures?!"

"What's that? Milk?"

"It looks so amazing! It even glows!"

"It's a script! It's definitely a script!"

Just then, another unexpected event occurred!

Perhaps it was because he got close to the stone marrow that contained a trace of spiritual energy that Zhang Shaozhong's long-dormant chaotic energy suddenly started to circulate on its own without warning!

And the speed is several times faster than usual!

A strong suction force emanated from his body, heading straight for the milky white stalactite in the center of the pool!

"Buzz—!"

The pool of stone marrow rapidly diminished and evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into wisps of extremely thin spiritual energy mixed with multiple attributes of earth, water, and wood, which were forcibly absorbed into Zhang Shaozhong's body!

"Hey kid! What are you doing?!"

Night Enchantress exclaimed in surprise.

Ling Qingxue's expression also changed: "The chaotic energy is actually devouring external objects on its own?"

Zhang Shaozhong was completely stunned! He had no control over it at all!

I felt a stream of energy, a mixture of coolness, warmth, and heaviness, surge into my limbs and bones, and was then greedily absorbed and fused with by that wisp of chaotic energy, like a gluttonous beast!

The process lasted only a few seconds.

That precious pool of stalagmite, which had been accumulating for countless years, was just... gone!

All that remained was a dried-up depression.
