Chapter 29: Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue and soul ascension pillThe Lan sisters quickly caught up with Dai Youheng. The younger sister, Lan Luoluo, leaned close to her sister and whispered, "Sister, Big Brother Youheng is completely different now... He has become so overbearing and full of Aura! That was Senior Xu Sanshi, the number one defense of the outer courtyard, yet he wasn't afraid of him at all!"The older sister, Lan Susu, looked at Dai Youheng's tall and cold back, her eyes shining with brilliance as she nodded gently, "Mm, and when he pushed Senior Xu Sanshi away, it seemed so effortless. He's much cooler than before!"The two sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing the same appreciation and increasingly intense curiosity in each other's eyes.This reborn Dai Youheng held great attraction for these two girls, who already had a favorable impression of him.Dai Youheng did not linger too long before the dazzling array of spirit tools or the eye-catching Spirit Bones; his goal was clear and direct. He walked straight to the area displaying various rare medicinal herbs and supplements, his gaze scanning the counters sharply.Soon, his gaze locked onto a black, unremarkable, and even somewhat ugly lump. It was placed casually in a corner, out of place among the other crystal-clear or fragrant treasures."Big Brother Youheng, what is that? It's all black. Do you want to buy that?" Lan Luoluo followed his gaze, her small face full of confusion. No matter how she looked at it, this thing didn't seem like a valuable treasure.Lan Susu also looked over. She was slightly more knowledgeable than her sister and identified the brief label next to it, saying hesitantly, "The label says this is Whale Glue? I have heard of Whale Glue before; it is said to be a special substance produced in the brains of powerful whale-type Spirit Beasts. It has a very good nourishing effect on Spirit Masters and can strengthen the physique, enhancing the endurance of muscles, bones, and Meridians."She paused and pointed to the label, continuing, "This piece is marked as coming from a thousand-year Demon Whale. But I remember books saying that thousand-year Whale Glue should be golden yellow and worth a fortune. A piece of thousand-year Whale Glue this big would be enough to make a Spirit Master reborn. But this piece is pitch black. Big Brother Youheng, in this situation, it is very likely that this Whale Glue has been stored for too long and has weathered and deteriorated. Although it might still be a little useful, its quality must have been greatly discounted."Dai Youheng secretly praised Lan Susu in his heart; she indeed had some knowledge, and what she said was reasonable. But he was even clearer about the true background of this "Whale Glue."Golden yellow—that was indeed the description of true thousand-year Whale Glue. But how could this piece be thousand-year stock? This was clearly a ten thousand year level Whale Glue! It was just that ten thousand year Whale Glue was extremely rare, its characteristics completely different from the thousand-year variety, with a deep, nearly black color. The appraisers at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion had clearly misjudged it, causing this pearl to be covered in dust and treated as a deteriorated product.He remembered that in the original work, it was under the guidance of the Tianmeng Iceworm that Huo Yuhao picked up this massive bargain. After consuming this ten thousand year Whale Glue, Huo Yuhao's physique, which was originally weak due to malnutrition in his childhood, was greatly compensated and strengthened, laying a solid foundation for absorbing higher-year spirit rings later on."An inferior product? Big Brother Youheng, why do we want this deteriorated thing?" Lan Luoluo muttered."It's better than nothing," Dai Youheng said in a flat tone, as if he were really just casually buying a trinket, "Anyway, it's not expensive, only six thousand gold coins."As he spoke, he unhesitatingly beckoned for the person in charge of this area, pointed to the black Whale Glue, and directly stated that he wanted to buy it.The person in charge was a middle-aged woman. Seeing that Dai Youheng wanted to buy this "deteriorated Whale Glue" that no one asked about, her face immediately revealed a look of surprise. She swiftly and efficiently completed the transaction procedures, as if afraid he might change his mind.This "thousand-year Whale Glue" had been sitting in the warehouse for a long time because its appearance was so poor that no one was interested in it. Being able to sell it was truly an unexpected joy.Successfully obtaining the ten thousand year Whale Glue, Dai Youheng felt at ease. Next, he walked over to the Medicinal Pill counter, his gaze sweeping over it, and quickly locked onto a pale golden Medicinal Pill.The soul ascension pill.This was not a Medicinal Pill unique to the Xuanming Sect, but a precious Medicinal Pill that all major top-tier forces could refine.Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng had both consumed it, but because Dai Youheng was an illegitimate son, he had not yet received an allocation.The utility of this thing was that it could directly increase spirit power, and the amount of increase was roughly equivalent to going from level thirty to level thirty-one.With Dai Youheng's current cultivation of level thirty-eight, consuming one would not allow him to directly break through to level forty, but it could definitely greatly shorten the process.Unfortunately, a person could only consume one in their lifetime; a second one would result in drug resistance and be ineffective.He felt a little regretful in his heart. This kind of Medicinal Pill that could directly increase spirit power always had various limitations.He directly purchased three."Big Brother Youheng, why are you buying so many soul ascension pills? One person can only eat one, right?" Lan Luoluo asked curiously.Dai Youheng did not answer, but instead handed two of them to Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo respectively, "For you two. Thank you for helping me get the invitation and accompanying me here."The two sisters were stunned for a moment, looking at the precious Medicinal Pill in front of them that emitted an alluring medicinal fragrance, feeling a bit flustered for a moment."This... this is too valuable!" Lan Susu waved her hands quickly. Although the price of a soul ascension pill was far from comparable to a Spirit Bone, it was by no means cheap. For Spirit Masters like them who came from minor nobility, it was already a significantly heavy gift."Take it," Dai Youheng said, "It should be helpful for you now."He wouldn't give the two sisters Spirit Bones that cost millions, as they didn't have that level of relationship; one Medicinal Pill each was just right.He knew that both sisters were currently level twenty-eight Spirit Grandmasters, and one soul ascension pill could very likely help them break through directly to level twenty-nine or even touch the threshold of level thirty.Seeing that Dai Youheng's attitude was firm, the two sisters exchanged a glance and finally accepted the Medicinal Pill with surprise and gratitude.They hadn't expected that just by helping run an errand and showing the way, they could receive such a generous reward! This caused their favorability toward Dai Youheng to instantly soar by another large margin.Having bought the most urgently needed ten thousand year Whale Glue and soul ascension pills, Dai Youheng's mood relaxed quite a bit. For the remaining time, he really did take the two sisters for a stroll around the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, looking at those expensive spirit tools and Spirit Bones, purely to broaden their horizons.He also saw the Golden Earth Dragon King Spirit Bone, which was one of the treasures of the pavilion; it was brilliant with golden light and surging with energy. It was indeed a good Spirit Bone, but its attributes were purely light and power, which had severe repulsion with the evil attributes of his Evil Shadow Demonic Tiger and the attributes of his fate reversal heavenly demon pill. Even if it were given to him for free, he would certainly take it, but he would never absorb it.He estimated that there was a high probability he would use it for exchange or sell it for money, and then obtain treasures more suitable for himself.
