Chapter 41 Tang the Great God King's Homework, It's So Good to Copy It!
[But it's precisely because he knows this that he can't believe what he's saying to you.]
You stated frankly, "Whale glue is the essence of whale spirit beasts."
"Its aphrodisiac effect is only the most superficial function."
"The real secret is actually the tempering of flesh, bones, and physique."
"If taken properly, even ordinary Soul Masters can significantly increase the maximum age of Soul Rings they can absorb when absorbing Soul Rings."
"The reason I was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring at the fourth level was not only due to my own efforts, but also because of the whale glue."
Your words left Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan even more shocked and incredulous.
"Are you sure you're not just talking nonsense?"
Dugu Bo still finds it hard to believe that what you're saying is true.
After all, whale gelatin has been used as an aphrodisiac for who knows how many years.
If it truly had such an effect, there's no reason why others wouldn't know about it.
[You understand Dugu Bo's thoughts, and frankly say, "Since ancient times, whale glue has been used as an aphrodisiac. But the key point is that the people who actually used it were those weak nobles."]
"They only know how to indulge in debauchery and have achieved nothing in terms of soul power cultivation."
"The result is that even if they have the aptitude for soul power cultivation, their bodies will be weakened by wine and women early on, causing them to only choose to use whale glue that is less than ten or five hundred years old."
"They simply can't afford whale glue that's even older."
"While whale glue may have some effect on body tempering over ten or a hundred years, it will be extremely weak."
"To truly realize its effects, we need to look at whale glue that's thousands or even tens of thousands of years old."
"But those weak-willed nobles who like to use whale glue from that vintage are too risky to use."
"High-level Soul Masters who can withstand the effects of the medicine disdain to use it."
"That's why, despite its effects, whale glue has remained undiscovered for so many years."
Su Mu had personally investigated this issue.
Back then, he only had a fragmented version of his original martial soul.
His innate soul power is only level one.
They wanted to defy fate and turn their lives around.
All they could rely on were whale glue and the divine products in Dugu Bo's possession.
So even though he couldn't afford it at that time.
However, he already knew about the relevant prices and market conditions.
[I'm about 80% convinced by your answer.]
You're too lazy to waste your breath arguing with him anymore.
[Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing. Take out a piece of millennia-old whale glue and give it to Dugu Bo so he can experience it for himself.]
Following your instructions, Dugu Bo consumed the whale gelatin.
Then, Dugu Bo was shocked.
[You weren't lying, whale glue really can strengthen the physique, thereby enhancing the effect of absorbing spirit rings beyond the current age limit.]
After Dugu Bo personally verified the effects of the whale glue, Dugu Yan looked at you with a curious expression.
"You're just going to tell us the secret like that?"
"Aren't you afraid that if we find out, we'll break our promise and kill you?"
You shrugged, looking relaxed, and asked, "Do you guys know how?"
Dugu Yan snorted lightly, raising her chin arrogantly: "Consider yourself lucky to have run into me and Grandpa. We would never do something so despicable as to break our promise."
You seized the opportunity, saying, "That's good. That way, we won't have wasted the chance Miss Dugu gave us to pursue you!"
Although Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, she glared back at you defiantly: "Fine, then I'll be waiting for you to chase me. But don't cry if you fail."
[You just laugh it off, cry your eyes out, who do you think you are?]
After experiencing the effects of the whale gel, Dugu Bo developed an even greater appreciation for your senses.
[He immediately inquired about what you had mentioned before, about helping him and Dugu Yan detoxify.]
[You didn't beat around the bush with them; you directly revealed the Soul Bone Poison Gathering Technique that you had "borrowed" from the Great God King Tang.]
"The backlash from the toxins stemmed from the senior's overly domineering martial spirit, which fused with the toxins and soul power, penetrating deep into his bones."
"If we could find a high-quality soul bone, we could force the toxins in our bodies into it for storage."
"Not only can it detoxify, but it can also unleash even stronger toxicity when using soul skills."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
With his expertise in poisons, he instantly deduced the feasibility of this method.
"Brilliant! Brilliant indeed! How come I never thought of that!"
Dugu Bo was so excited that his beard was trembling.
But then, you abruptly changed the subject.
"However, senior, while this method is effective, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."
"While soul bones can store poison, there is ultimately a limit to how much they can hold."
"Unless it's a 100,000-year-old soul bone, or a legendary external soul bone, the toxins will eventually seep out as cultivation increases."
"To completely cure it, we still need to address the root cause of the martial spirit. I know the method. But the necessary medicinal herbs are too vague and uncertain."
[Dugu Bo pressed impatiently, "What do you mean by 'ethereal and intangible'? Just tell me what medicinal herbs you need. Don't beat around the bush."]
Seeing this, you were secretly delighted, but kept a straight face: "Alright, I'll give you a brief explanation. But don't get your hopes up too high, senior; that thing is truly extremely rare."
"I was lucky; I saw it in an ancient book."
"That ancient book records that some divine herbs, capable of defying the very nature of heaven and earth, grow in this world."
"I used to treat it as just a legend, not as real."
"It wasn't until I later learned that Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, possessed the Spirit of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum that I gradually began to believe what was recorded in that ancient book."
"Because the Qirong Tongtianju itself is a type of miraculous herb."
"Among the miraculous herbs recorded in that ancient book, there are three that can completely resolve the problem between you and Miss Dugu."
"These are the Primordial Immortal Herb, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl."
"If we can find these divine ingredients, let alone detoxifying them, even evolving the martial souls of Senior and Miss Dugu wouldn't be difficult."
"Unfortunately, these rare and precious herbs have extremely demanding growth requirements."
"The growth cycle is also measured in tens of thousands of years."
"So, senior, don't get your hopes up too high. This thing is really too rare."
