Chapter 94: Ye Lingling Consumes Whale Gel
🕑 Added 2024-12-05 17:36:43 +0000 UTCApart from purchasing two soul tools, Yang Podi also bought a large quantity of precious metals, including Deep Sea Silver, Celestial Iron, Blue Gold Stone, Cold Heart Steel Essence, Black Gold, and more. His 100-cubic-meter soul tool was almost completely filled.
Additionally, he acquired other valuable items, including some whale gel.
When Ye Lingling saw Yang Podi purchasing the whale gel, her entire face turned red. She even pinched his waist forcefully, as if expressing some dissatisfaction.
Yang Podi did not explain much and instead carried the whale gel, taking Ye Lingling directly to the hotel.
Seeing Ye Lingling's slightly blushing face, Yang Podi quickly explained, "Lingling, you misunderstood. Whale gel has uses beyond… that. It also has significant benefits for soul masters."
Ye Lingling, looking puzzled, remained silent, so Yang Podi continued, "While small amounts of whale gel are indeed used for… that purpose, consuming a large quantity at once can purify the body of impurities, enhance soul power, and strengthen the body. Just one piece of thousand-year-old whale gel can increase a soul master's absorption limit for a soul ring by 500 years."
Hearing this, Ye Lingling appeared surprised.
"Last time, when my soul power reached level 40, I used whale gel in the dormitory to enhance my body strength. It allowed me to absorb a higher-level fourth soul ring. For example, the fourth soul ring I haven't displayed yet is quite extraordinary."
After speaking, Yang Podi revealed his martial soul and soul rings. When two yellow, one purple, and one black soul ring appeared, Ye Lingling couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock.
"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring! Yang Ge, I can't believe your fourth soul ring has reached the ten-thousand-year level. Is this also because of the whale gel?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "Whale gel is only part of the equation. A ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring not only requires an exceptionally strong body but also the ability to withstand the mental shock from a ten-thousand-year soul beast. I used other methods to strengthen my spiritual power to absorb it. Just relying on whale gel alone isn't enough to support a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring."
"This time, I bought a piece of ten-thousand-year whale gel for you. After using it, you'll understand."
After saying this, Yang Podi took out a firestone, a furnace, and other tools to melt the fist-sized piece of ten-thousand-year whale gel.
Yang Podi handed a bowl of melted whale gel to Ye Lingling. "Whale gel must be consumed whole, and it needs to be completely melted over a fire. Drink it while it's hot."
Ye Lingling, holding the metal bowl and looking at the fragrant liquid, turned even redder.
Still, out of trust for Yang Podi, she took the metal bowl and swallowed the whale gel in one gulp.
Moments later, Ye Lingling felt her blood vessels expand throughout her body. Her entire body turned red, and black impurities began to ooze out of her skin. Her body felt overwhelmingly hot, as if a burning desire was surging within her, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Podi removed Ye Lingling's veil and carefully observed her changing complexion. When it seemed she could no longer endure, he carried her to the bed...
When the two awoke the next morning, Ye Lingling's face was flushed. She couldn't believe how forward she had been the previous night, especially for someone as reserved as herself.
Ye Lingling took a moment to assess her condition. To her surprise, her soul power had increased by one level, now reaching level 33. Her body felt more purified, and her physical attributes had noticeably improved. Just as Yang Podi had said, the whale gel was incredibly effective, even providing the benefits of a full-body cleansing.
Beside her, Yang Podi carefully examined her state. "Lingling, with your current body strength, your fourth soul ring should now be able to absorb a ring of about 7,000 years, or even 8,000 years. However, avoid attempting a ten-thousand-year soul ring."
Ye Lingling, her face still slightly red, finally spoke timidly, "Thank you, Podi. I really feel much stronger now."
Yang Podi smiled and replied, "Lingling, don't tell anyone about the whale gel."
Seeing her puzzled expression, Yang Podi explained further, "I discovered the effects of whale gel by accident. This could serve as a family secret. If word gets out, the price of whale gel will likely skyrocket, and we won't be able to acquire it affordably. Don't worry, I'll ensure that all our teammates have their share of whale gel."
Of course, Yang Podi didn't mention the unspoken caveat: Only those I consider my own will receive help. Strangers? Forget it.
"I understand. Thank you. Don't worry, I won't say a word," Ye Lingling promised.
Apart from his purchases, Yang Podi also visited the Strength Clan to forge a matching Soul-Breaking Spear and sword using the precious metals he had acquired. The spear weighed 2,000 jin, while the sword weighed 800 jin, both tailored to his height and strength.
The craftsmanship of the Strength Clan was undeniably excellent. Both weapons were a perfect fit and were made with long-term use in mind.
For the following period, Yang Podi remained at the academy to focus on cultivation.
As expected, in the current Soul Master Tournament, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team suffered a crushing defeat. After a first-round bye, they were eliminated in the second round. Conversely, the Star Luo Empire's team achieved a rare victory, even defeating the formidable Spirit Hall team in the finals, causing a major upset.
None of the teams from the Heaven Dou region performed well, with the farthest only reaching the third round. No team made it into the top three.
It was said that Emperor Xue Ye was furious upon hearing the news. He decreed that all affairs of Heaven Dou Royal Academy would henceforth be managed directly by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, with no interference from others.
Additionally, the emperor decided to increase funding for the academy and reorganize a new team for the next Soul Master Tournament to restore their honor.
The academy's three Education Committee members faced immense pressure, and all resources were being directed toward forming the new team.
After much consideration, the role of team leader was assigned to teacher Qin Ming.
At this time, Qin Ming was not yet a level 62 Soul Emperor but a high-ranking Soul King. However, his results in leading the advanced soul master classes were excellent, producing the best outcomes among all classes.
Moreover, Qin Ming was extraordinarily talented and highly skilled. At only 29 years old, he was already a high-ranking Soul King. Based on his progress, he was expected to reach Soul Emperor within three years, making him one of the youngest Soul Emperors in the soul master world. Eventually, he was considered to have the potential to reach Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo status, which would provide Heaven Dou Empire with its own Titled Douluo.
Qin Ming's youth was another advantage, allowing him to connect with the team's new members and foster camaraderie, facilitating effective teaching.
