Lin Yi sighed in his heart. Just based on this refreshing aura, this thing was absolutely extraordinary. It truly lived up to its name of Star Ink Milk.
However, when he and Huang Xiaotao squatted down beside the stone pool and used the Spirit Jade Bottle to scoop up the Star Ink Milk, both of them were stunned at the same time.
The Star Ink Milk was black, so it was very difficult to see the bottom of the pool. At first, Lin Yi thought that there was a lot left, but when he put the Spirit Jade Bottle in, he realized that there was only a shallow bottom left!
This bottom was already so shallow that it couldn't be any shallower. It was almost only a thin layer, and it was impossible to use the Spirit Jade Bottle to store it. No matter how they thought of a way, they could only get a few drops at most.
"What's wrong? What the hell are you doing so slowly? Could it be that you two want to secretly do something under our noses!? "Luo Tuoxiang saw that the two of them were acting strangely and immediately opened his mouth to question them.
"Hmph, you two country bumpkins who haven't seen the world. If you want to do something in front of us, you're still far from it. I can see it with a glance!" Cao Shishi, who was also monitoring their every move, coldly snorted.
"Do something? Alright, you two do something for me to see! " Lin Yi originally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these two, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had been made a fool of. His mood could be said to be extremely bad, and he immediately replied coldly.
Chang Daoping and the others, each of them filled a full bottle of Star Ink Milk, but only he and Huang Xiaotao couldn't even get the bottom. This was clearly a trap for the two of them to do hard labor for nothing. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be in a good mood at this moment!
Lin Yi faintly felt that he might have been made a fool of by Chang Daoping, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't find anything unusual. Everything was going according to plan. Unless he could find clear evidence, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say anything. At this time, he could only suffer in silence.
What's more, with the opponent's strength at the Nascent Soul Stage, and Luo Tuoxiang and so many people. Even if Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao wanted to fall out with each other, they would have to think twice before acting.
"Actually … they really can't do anything, because when I was filling it just now, the Astral Ink Milk was already empty. Even my bottle wasn't full, so …" At this moment, Fang Miaojin suddenly opened her mouth. She was in the queue before Lin Yi and the other two, and she was also the last among the six people led by Chang Daoping.
"It's bottomed out?" Cao Shishi and the others were stunned. They quickly walked over and tested it with their own hands. Only then did his suspicions disappear.
Following that, the way they looked at Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao instantly turned into one of gloating.
In their eyes, the Lin Yi duo was nothing more than two weak country bumpkins. It was only because they were lucky enough to be chosen by Brother Chang that they had the opportunity to explore the ruins. Did the two of them think that they could stand on equal footing with them and obtain the Star Ink Milk?
Humph, a toad lusting after swan meat. Now even the Heavens couldn't stand it anymore. The Star Ink Milk was about to be in his hands, but it was all for naught. Serves them right!
"Hehe. It seems that the two of you are destined to have no fate with the Star Ink Milk! Wahahaha! "The crowd didn't hide the ridicule on their faces as they sneered complacently. This time, it wasn't just Lin Yi. Even Huang Xiaotao, who had a gentle temperament, couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly clench his fists. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he hadn't seen the Star Ink Milk before, he might not have felt anything. But now that he had missed the opportunity to obtain the Star Ink Milk, his mood was already extremely bad. He even suspected that Chang Daoping and the others had done something.
Now, faced with the ridicule of the crowd, he couldn't help but want to fall out.
The crowd saw Lin Yi's gloomy expression, but they didn't care at all. They were just two country bumpkins in the early stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Even if they had ten more guts, they would absolutely not dare to fall out!
If they dared? That was even better. In any case, it wouldn't leave behind any future troubles. They might as well slap them to death here and end it once and for all!
"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that it would be gone when it was your turn." At this time, Chang Daoping finally spoke. He didn't take pleasure in their misfortune like the others. Instead, he had a very regretful expression, as if he truly felt sorry for Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao.
Cao Shishi and the others originally wanted to ridicule them for a while longer. Especially Luo Tuoxiang, he even planned to force Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao into desperation. This way, he could justifiably slap them to death. But now that Chang Daoping had personally spoken, they naturally didn't have the right to speak.
After all, they didn't know the true thoughts in Chang Daoping's heart. If they spoke carelessly and accidentally disobeyed Brother Chang's intentions, then they would be asking for trouble.
Lin Yi took a deep look at Chang Daoping. Seeing that this person's expression was calm, without the slightest sign of deliberate pretense, he couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart. Could it be that his intuition was really wrong? Could it be that this person didn't do anything? Could it be that this was just a pure coincidence?
With Lin Yi's wariness, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to not notice if they wanted to hide something from him or have any ill intentions towards him.
Lin Yi had always thought that after successfully passing through the Lunar Shadow Array and entering the ruins, the two of them would no longer be of any use to Chang Daoping. He would probably make a move and not allow the two of them to share the Astral Ink Milk.
However, in reality, along the way, Lin Yi didn't feel any killing intent from Chang Daoping. Even the jade pendant didn't give any warning. This completely overturned Lin Yi's guess.
Little did they know that Chang Daoping did have killing intent towards them along the way. However, it was only for a moment and he quickly concealed it.
Of course, it was impossible for Chang Daoping to let Lin Yi and Liu Fei obtain the Astral Ink Milk. Even if it was just a little bit, it would be a significant loss to him. However, this didn't mean that he had to kill them. As long as he did something in the process, he could perfectly solve this problem, just like this "coincidence".
"However, you don't have to be anxious. Look at the speed at which the Astral Ink Milk is dripping. I believe that as long as you wait here for a few days, even if you can't fill a bottle, you will be able to get at least half a bottle. It's much better than getting nothing," Chang Daoping continued to speak indifferently. It sounded like he was really thinking for Lin Yi and Liu Fei.
With this, Lin Yi was even more unable to guess this person's intentions. However, Chang Daoping's words weren't wrong. From the beginning until now, Lin Yi had already seen a total of three drops of Astral Ink Milk dripping from the tip of the statue. Based on this speed, they would be able to collect at least half a bottle if they waited here for a few days.
"Brother Chang, I have a question. Since the speed at which the Astral Ink Milk drips isn't slow, why is there so little Astral Ink Milk in this pool? You only managed to fill six bottles before you finished it. This doesn't make sense, right?" Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before looking at Chang Daoping and asking. Floating Astronomy.
