Chapter 11 Whale Gum
Chapter 11 Whale Gum
After the Soul Fighting Competition ended, Niu Jinfeng took Yang Podi home.
Back home, lying in bed, I reflected on what I had seen and heard that day. The duel between the two Soul Kings in the Soul Arena had deeply affected me. The words "family," "sect," "commoner," and "empire" kept swirling in my mind. I was now considered a core disciple of a family and also a disciple of a sect. I used to not care much about many resources, but now I realized that my starting point was indeed very high.
However, this also brings more crises. The Po Clan's strength is comparable to half of the Lower Four Sects. But whether facing the Clear Sky Sect or the Spirit Hall, their strength is insufficient. They lack a Title Douluo and their own foundation, which are all weaknesses.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my grandfather, Yang Wudi, and hoped that I could safely escape this conflict.
Just as Yang Podi was lost in thought, his father, Yang Zhentian, returned with the group of tourists.
When Dad came back, Mom Niu Jinfeng pulled him aside to a secluded spot and whispered to him.
"Honey, when I took our son to the auction today, he insisted that I buy this huge piece of whale glue. He's only five years old, how would he understand these things?"
"Whale glue? That shouldn't be possible. My son always stays at home, mostly just reading and practicing martial arts; he rarely interacts with women. How would he know about the effects of whale glue?"
"What are you saying? Your son is only five years old, how could he have that kind of problem? He said he wanted to buy it for you, did you say something to him?"
"For me? How could that be? I have no need for something like that!"
"Honey, why don't we just ask our son directly? Something feels off."
"That's good. Your son is still so young; you can't let him become a bad influence."
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was speechless.
Just as Yang Podi woke up, his father and mother came into his room at the same time, and his mother was holding that big piece of whale glue.
Niu Jinfeng, you spoke directly: "Son, I didn't ask you today at the event what you wanted me to buy this piece of whale glue for?"
Father Yang Zhentian quickly chimed in, "Son, how did you find out about whale glue? Your old man is still in good health and doesn't need this stuff yet."
Hearing the two of them talking, Yang Podi thought to himself: What are you two thinking? Whale glue is a good thing.
"Dad, listen to me first. I've been reading a lot of books lately and I've discovered that whale glue might have a great use."
Yang Podi looked at his parents with puzzled expressions.
"Dad, I've read through many ancient books and found that if you only eat a little bit of whale glue, it will indeed only have that kind of effect. But for us Soul Masters, if we melt the whole piece of whale glue with fire and then swallow it directly, it will have unexpected effects and benefits."
"Son, where did you find this in some ancient book? If it were really useful, its price would probably have increased dramatically by now."
"Dad, I'm sure it works. You can try it if you don't believe me. Anyway, even if it doesn't work, it's harmless. Also, Dad, you need to be especially careful not to tell anyone about the effects of the whale glue, not even the members of our Po clan." Yang Podi repeatedly instructed his father not to tell anyone yet. In the current Douluo Continent, whale glue is practically cheating. If it weren't for his father, and the fact that they happened to encounter it at the auction, he wouldn't want to reveal it so early.
Moreover, no family is monolithic. In the original story, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang was captured by the Spirit Hall, which ultimately revealed the secret medicine of the Breaking Clan—Seven-Colored Splendor, putting the Heaven Dou Empire in a very passive position.
Yang Zhentian was still a little doubtful: "Son, according to what you said, does swallowing a whole piece of whale gel really have any effect?"
"Dad, it really works! You should try it if you don't believe me."
Yang Zhentian stared at the fist-sized piece of whale glue, swallowing hard. "But this is such a big piece. Can anyone swallow it all at once?"
Niu Jinfeng interjected, "Our son already said it worked, what are you still doubting?" "But—" Yang Zhentian looked at the size of the whale glue and was speechless.
For the next two days, Yang Podi cultivated as usual, just like when he returned to the Po Clan. However, his mother and father had been missing for two whole days and nights, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
On the third day, my parents finally returned. Their complexions were rosy, and even their scalp and skin had turned a little whiter. My dad, in particular, had a smile that almost overflowed from his mouth.
Niu Jinfeng and Yang Zhentian brought Yang Podi back to his room: "Son, the whale glue you mentioned really works. My soul power has increased by one level, and I'm now a level 72 Soul Saint. Also, after eating the whale glue, a lot of impurities were expelled from my body. My cultivation should be faster in the future."
"Dad, congratulations! But why did you bring me into the room so mysteriously?"
Niu Jinfeng quickly asked, "Son, let me ask you a question. Does this whale glue have any effect on women?"
"Mom, whale glue should be effective for Soul Masters, regardless of gender, and it seems to be even more effective for women, and it also has beauty benefits."
"That's good, my son is so sensible. Otherwise, he would have almost missed out on such a good thing."
Yang Podi looked at his parents with a serious expression: "Dad, Mom, don't tell anyone about the whale glue yet, not even the people in our Po clan."
Yang Zhentian asked with some surprise, "Son, why would you have such a thought?"
"Dad, the matter of whale glue is of great importance. After all, our Breaking Clan is only an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect. We still need to keep some of our own things."
"But what about your grandfather's side?"
"Don't tell Grandpa yet, and don't tell anyone else. For now, it's enough for just the three of us to know."
"But son, since whale glue is so effective, shouldn't we buy more? But if we buy too much, won't it arouse suspicion?"
"Dad, it all depends on you now."
Father Yang Zhentian was a little confused: "Looking at me? How can this person look at me?"
Yang Podi and his mother, Niu Jinfeng, exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
Niu Jinfeng said meaningfully, "Honey, everyone knows the effects of whale glue. In order to cover up our purpose in buying whale glue, we can only ask you to make do for a while."
"What's wrong with this? Wait, what do you want to do?"
"I didn't do anything special. I just spread the word that you're not very good in that area and need whale gel to work, which makes it easier for us to buy whale gel."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhentian was stunned: "Wife, isn't it inappropriate for this to get out? I'm a man, after all."
Niu Jinfeng said righteously, "Husband, for the sake of our family, I have to sacrifice your reputation. What, you're not even willing to make this small sacrifice?"
Yang Zhentian looked at Niu Jinfeng with a face full of despair, then looked at his son, and finally had no choice but to give in with tears in his eyes.
