Chapter 2 Whale Glue Seeks a Way Out, Becomes a Disciple of the Daoist School
Clutching the token tightly, Lin Huai resolutely walked towards the mountaintop.
With the token in his hand, none of the patrol guards along the way stopped or questioned him.
As Lin Huai approached the entrance to the offering hall, he was about to ask the gatekeeper to relay a message.
The door suddenly opened, and Qian Daoliu's voice rang out: "Come in!"
"Little one, did you come to me seeking a solution to the flaws in your martial soul?"
"Lin Huai greets all the venerable elders."
Lin Huai's gaze swept over the several figures in the hall, and he quickly bowed.
He then looked at Qian Daoliu and shook his head slightly.
"Great Elder, I have not found a way to solve my own problems this year. I have come here hoping that you can help me obtain a soul ring."
"I plan to begin my cultivation."
"Little brat, do you know what you're saying? You actually want the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall to help you hunt down a spirit ring that's only a few hundred years old?"
A rather robust old man to Qian Daoliu's right questioned him.
"Golden Crocodile, let the child finish speaking first," Qian Daoliu advised the old man.
He stood up and looked at Lin Huai: "Knowing that cultivation will reduce your lifespan, why insist on obtaining a soul ring?"
Lin Huai stared intently into Qian Daoliu's eyes.
"This year, I tried all sorts of theories, but I still couldn't find a way to solve the flaws in my martial soul. The only thing I haven't tried yet is acquiring a soul ring..."
I won't let the Grand Elder help me for free; I can exchange a crucial piece of information for your assistance.
"Hey! You've got quite the nerve, kid. Are you sure your information is enough to get a top-tier Title Douluo to take action?"
A handsome young man, who looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, spoke in a teasing tone.
Lin Huai pursed his lips, looked intently at Qian Daoliu, and waited for his response.
"Tell me, if the information is truly useful, I will personally take you to hunt for spirit rings. But if I find out you're lying to me..."
Qian Daoliu released a trace of his aura and said with a serious expression.
Under the oppressive aura of Qian Daoliu, Lin Huai felt it was difficult to breathe, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back.
Fortunately, the oppressive force came and went quickly.
After pausing for a moment, I quickly explained.
"While reading some biographies, I discovered that some Soul Masters, despite having no special experiences, cultivated to a level that was impossible for them to reach with their talent."
Lin Huai pondered for a while.
"And I discovered that these people have one thing in common—"
When with members of the opposite sex, they like to take whale gelatin to enhance the experience! And they use it in whole chunks, regardless of gender.
Lin Huai glanced at the somewhat dazed-looking elders and quickly said:
"The improvement these people have made is roughly equivalent to breaking through from level five innate soul power to level six."
My guess is that these people don't know that whale gel helps enhance talent; they simply perceive breaking through their talent limits as a miracle.
"I believe that with the power of the Grand Master, he can immediately test whether what I said is true or false."
The worshippers looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
The handsome man, who was first to the left of Qian Daoliu, spoke first:
"Brother, regardless of whether this is true or false, we must take this matter seriously."
If a six- or seven-year-old child can analyze these things, are the scholars who conduct related research useless?
The other worshippers nodded in agreement.
Lin Huai silently apologized to some of the scholars who were about to be criticized.
In fact, simply analyzing the biographies of these people makes it difficult to conclude that whale gelatin would have such an effect.
He drew his conclusion by working backward from the cause to the effect, relying on his memories of his past life.
"Qingluan is right. We'll discuss this in more detail later. Qianjun, you should first find someone to test whether the whale glue is true."
After Qian Daoliu issued the order, an old man dressed in a golden robe left the main hall.
Then he looked at this clever little person.
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment:
"Are you sure you want to absorb a spirit ring? As long as you don't break the law, I can let you enjoy the full support of the Spirit Hall."
"After all, nine years is enough time for you to travel all over the mainland and experience a part of life."
But once you absorb a spirit ring and begin cultivating, you won't have many years left to live.
I felt Qian Daoliu's genuine concern.
Lin Huai sighed, "He truly deserves to be one of the few upright and kind-hearted people in the original work who possesses chivalrous spirit."
"Thank you, Great Venerable One, but I don't want to live a life of mere lingering existence. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will try!"
"I want to see the view from 'high places' with my own eyes!"
Lin Huai looked at Qian Daoliu with unwavering determination.
The hall was silent, and the expressions of the worshippers were frozen.
Looking at this small child who possessed such an imposing presence,
At that moment, I had the urge to send the younger members of my family to the library.
Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Huai, but what appeared before him was a stubborn, cute blonde girl.
"I want to implement this plan myself; I want to prove my abilities to her!"
……
A quarter of an hour later, an excited voice broke the silence in the hall.
"Big brother!"
"Qianjun Douluo spoke as soon as he entered the door."
"Whale glue can indeed enhance a Soul Master's talent, and the effect is even better than Lin the Bad Boy said."
"The number of Title Douluos in our Spirit Hall is expected to double in the future!"
The worshippers also smiled.
His own descendants may also be able to inherit his mantle.
Qian Daoliu seemed not to hear Qian Jun Douluo's words, his tone filled with nostalgia:
"I intend to take you as my disciple, and I can also use the power of the Spirit Hall to help you find a cure. Are you willing to become my master?"
Qianjun stared blankly at the scene.
What happened?
I was only gone for a short while, why does Brother suddenly want to take on a disciple?
Or is it this child who only has a few years left to live?
Qianjun looked at his younger brother, Demon-Slaying Douluo, trying to get an answer.
The demon-slaying demon casually turned his head.
Don't look at me, I don't know either.
Lin Huai was surprised, and quickly bowed in greeting:
"Master, please accept my bow!"
Qian Daoliu's face lit up with joy: "That's good, but from now on, please still call me 'teacher'. The word 'master' is too formal."
"Qianjun, did you bring back any whale glue of ten thousand years quality? Let my disciple try it and see how effective it is at enhancing a genius with innate full soul power."
The five retainers offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, brother, on taking on such a talented disciple!"
Qianjun Douluo also hurriedly offered his congratulations and handed two pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue to Lin Huai.
"I suggest you cut it into small pieces and take it all at once. Taking this whole can strain your voice."
Lin Huai looked puzzled: "Senior Qianjun...did you just have someone else swallow it whole?"
Qianjun said very seriously, "That's right. When I was experimenting with the ten-thousand-year whale glue, I specifically found beast spirit masters and had them possess their spirits before consuming it."
Looking at Qianjun Douluo's eyes, it seemed as if he was saying, "How about that? I'm smart, aren't I?"
Lin Huai tried to think that he only had nine more years to live, only nine years left to live.
Suppressing her inner impulse, she tried to defend Qianjun: "I know that Senior Qianjun might not know this because he doesn't need to use whale glue."
Lin Huai looked serious.
"Actually, whale gelatin can be melted with fire. It's easier to take after it's melted, and the effect should be better."
……
After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu gave the order.
"You all need to handle the whale glue issue properly these next few days."
"Little rascal, I'll take you to the training room to take the whale glue, and then we'll go get the soul ring."
He reached out his right hand and took Lin Huai's hand, leading him towards the cultivation room.
He stopped when he passed Qianjun, whose expression was stiff, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'll read more books while I'm gone."
After Qian Daoliu left with Lin Huai.
Loud laughter erupted inside the offering hall.
