Lu Yuan opened his mouth and directly swallowed the golden whale glue, which had already turned into a soft, muddy substance. The taste was incredibly fishy and foul, making Lu Yuan almost think he had eaten a piece of rotten meat.
Enduring the nauseating taste, he forced himself to swallow it all.
After the whale glue was swallowed, in just a moment, Lu Yuan felt a wave of heat rise from his lower abdomen.
That scorching sensation made him feel incredibly parched, and numerous distracting thoughts arose in his mind.
Lu Yuan bit the tip of his tongue hard, then immediately fell into meditation.
As he entered meditation, Lu Yuan's body was instantly enveloped by golden electric currents. The whale glue and the currents began to work together, continuously refining the strength of Lu Yuan's body and his bones and tendons.
His entire body was engulfed in heat, and Lu Yuan was immediately soaked in sweat under this sensation.
Just as Lu Yuan entered meditation and continuously refined the whale glue, a figure silently appeared in Lu Yuan's dormitory.
The person was slender, like a spear, with bizarre dark green hair and beard, and a pair of eyes that glowed with a faint green light in the darkness.
He wore a gray robe, his expression indifferent, and the look on his withered old face was extremely stern, making him resemble an old zombie.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's green pupils also unconsciously showed shock. Looking at Lu Yuan, who was covered in electric currents, even as a Titled Douluo with extensive experience, he couldn't help but fall into disbelief.
"What kind of Spirit does this kid have? He can actually increase his body's strength during Cultivation."
"And that thousand-year whale glue, this kid actually melted and swallowed it directly. Is he not afraid his lower body will explode!"
As the Poison Douluo, who dominated the World with his poisons, Dugu Bo had some understanding of pharmacology. Although he might not be as good as Ye Cixin, Head of the Family, he still knew the consequences of consuming too many potent medicines.
In his opinion, Lu Yuan swallowing the whale glue like that was simply suicidal.
However, what made him curious now was why Lu Yuan was completely fine?
Dugu Bo was very certain that Lu Yuan was not a fool. Ever since Yan Yan was bullied and he found out, he had been observing him in secret.
After several days of observation, he already had a concrete evaluation of Lu Yuan in his Heart-Nature.
His Heart-Nature was firm, and his approach to dealing with people was close to that of an adult. If he didn't fall, surpassing himself in the future shouldn't be difficult.
Furthermore, this kid had even taken Ye Cixin, Head of the Family as his master. For such a kid to not know that whale glue shouldn't be consumed excessively was simply a joke.
Therefore, the whale glue must have some special effect. Is the reason this kid's body is so strong because of the whale glue?
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness immediately appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes. If it were true, then its value would be immense.
It would even be enough to make a faction undergo a complete transformation.
Hiss... Thinking of this, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated. He directly grabbed Lu Yuan, and his figure vanished in an instant.
He could slowly extract the specific effects of the whale glue from this kid's mouth.
Faced with such immense profit, if Dugu Bo were not tempted, he would certainly be deceiving himself.
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally knew the benefits of a powerful Spirit Master body.
Almost all Titled Douluo knew that before a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, a Spirit Master's body strength determined how many years their spirit ring could be absorbed for.
Dugu Bo's actions were silent. He left Heaven Dou City quickly without anyone catching him.
He swiftly carried Lu Yuan towards his secluded dwelling.
With his strength, he was practically unstoppable in Heaven Dou City, but a few days of observation also made Dugu Bo aware that Lu Yuan was favored by Crown PrinceXue Qinghe.
Although Crown PrinceXue Qinghe posed no substantial threat to him, Dugu Bo had no intention of needlessly inviting trouble.
His secluded dwelling was located deep within the Sunset Forest, a place rarely visited by humans.
There, even if he were to kill Lu Yuan in a fit of anger, no one would ever find out.
Lu Yuan, under the effects of the whale glue, had already entered a deep meditation. He was completely unaware that he had been silently taken out of Heaven Dou City.
However, even if he knew, Lu Yuan probably wouldn't struggle; he would even gladly let Dugu Bo take him there.
After all, Dugu Bo's secluded cultivation place was the treasure he had longed for: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... The damp cave emitted a foul smell of decaying leaves.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately startled.
He instinctively activated his Spirit and quickly rushed out of the cave.
However, just as he moved, a withered old hand silently rested on his shoulder.
The moment that old hand touched the electric currents on his body, it only paused for a fraction of a second before forcefully gripping his shoulder blade.
Lu Yuan instantly reacted, countless thoughts swirling in his mind, and two spirit rings directly appeared behind him.
One yellow and one purple, the two spirit rings flashed continuously, and numerous arm-thick bolts of lightning were constantly released from Lu Yuan's body.
The crackling lightning illuminated the entire cave, blasting smoke and dust from the cave walls, and a large amount of gravel flew out.
"A thousand-year second spirit ring!"
A hoarse, unpleasant voice sounded behind Lu Yuan.
The voice made Lu Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable. He strained to turn his head and immediately saw the face of the figure holding him.
That unique appearance, the green hair and beard, all indicated the identity of the person before him.
Dugu Bo!
"Senior Dugu, why did you bring me to this place late at night?"
"Could it be that this junior has displeased Senior in some way?"
Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo, his heart tightening. He knew whether he could obtain the Immortal Herb depended on his performance in a moment.
"You recognize this old man?"
Dugu Bo hadn't expected Lu Yuan to recognize him at a glance, which made him slightly stunned.
However, he quickly looked back at the purple spirit ring behind Lu Yuan, and a hint of excitement appeared in his deadpan eyes.
"Kid, tell me the effects of the whale glue, and this old man will give you a quick death."
"If I'm not mistaken, your second spirit ring should be related to the whale glue you just swallowed."
"Although your Spirit can enhance your own strength, it's impossible for you to acquire a thousand-year second ring at your age."
"Tell me your secret, otherwise, this old man cannot guarantee that you won't leave this World in extreme pain."
"Since you know this old man, you should also know how this old man got the title Poison Douluo."
"Hehehe, you should understand my methods."
