Chapter 14 The Uses of Whale Gum
Yue Guan and the ghostly figures flashed and disappeared into the empty hall.
Only Lin Yu and Bibi Dong remained in the main hall, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Lin Yu was inwardly pounding with anxiety, but on the surface, he appeared obedient and sensible, keeping his eyes down and his mind at ease, just like a model student.
Bibi Dong's beautiful purple eyes never left Lin Yu, as if she wanted to see him through inside and out.
How many secrets is this child still hiding?
Before long, the ghostly figure appeared silently, kneeling on one knee and holding an ancient wooden box in his hands.
"Your Majesty, the century-old whale glue is here."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he should put the things down.
Immediately afterwards, a fiery red figure appeared in the main hall along with a wave of heat, alongside Yue Guan.
The newcomer was a tall, fiery red-haired woman. Her tight-fitting red leather armor accentuated her breathtaking curves. Her face was beautiful, yet she exuded a menacing aura that kept strangers at bay.
She is one of the titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, with the title "Spirit Kite" and her spirit is the highly aggressive Fiery Spirit Kite.
"Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?" Spirit Douluo bowed slightly, his voice carrying a hint of the hoarseness and competence unique to fire-attribute soul masters.
Her gaze swept over Lin Yu with a hint of curiosity.
What kind of person is this brat who could make His Majesty take this so seriously, even calling her out of her cultivation?
"Ling Yuan, you will need to use flames to soften the contents of this wooden box later." Bibi Dong's instructions were concise and clear.
"Yes." Lingyuan Douluo did not ask any further questions.
Bibi Dong then ordered people to bring in a huge wooden barrel filled with clean water and place it in the center of the main hall.
Everything is ready.
All eyes were on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, walked to the wooden box, and opened it.
A strong, fishy smell wafted over. Inside the box, a fist-sized, semi-transparent crystalline object lay quietly—it was the century-old whale glue.
"Elder Lingyuan, thank you for your trouble. Please use the gentlest flame to soften it into a gel-like state," Lin Yu said politely to the red-haired woman.
Lingyuan Douluo raised an eyebrow, flicked his finger, and a cluster of small orange-red flames landed lightly on the whale glue.
Under her precise control, the temperature of the flame was just right, and the tough whale glue began to slowly melt, turning into a ball of golden gelatinous substance, and the aura became increasingly intense.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei watched in amazement. They had seen this thing before, but apart from its aphrodisiac effect, they had never discovered any other use for it. Could it be that they would finally see something new today?
Once the whale glue had completely turned into a gel, Lin Yu did not hesitate at all. He picked up the wooden box, tilted his head back, and swallowed the scalding hot golden object in one gulp!
"Gulp."
"This kid is really brave!" Yue Guan's eyelids twitched as he watched from the side.
That thing is scalding hot!
Before anyone could react, Lin Yu turned around and jumped into the wooden tub next to him, the icy water instantly submerging up to his neck.
"Thump!"
The next second, Lin Yu's body suddenly stiffened, and his entire face instantly turned bright red!
A torrent of energy, burning hot to the extreme, exploded in his abdomen and surged wildly into his limbs and bones!
"Holy crap! This isn't medicine, it's scalding me!" Lin Yu felt like his internal organs were being cooked on the spot.
He dared not delay, immediately closed his eyes, and frantically began to circulate the "Undying Scripture of the Underworld"!
Wisps of gray death energy surged from his body, attempting to envelop and refine the violent life energy.
However, this time, the two completely opposite energies clashed violently as soon as they came into contact!
On one side is the energy of ultimate yang and strength, and on the other side is the deathly stillness and coldness of death.
The two clashed violently in his meridians, like a clash between ice and fire, instantly creating a monstrous wave!
"Well!"
Lin Yu groaned, his body trembling violently in the water. His skin quickly turned crimson, veins bulging, making him look like a boiled shrimp.
pain!
The pain was a hundred times more intense than the pain of drawing in death energy last night!
If last night was like cutting flesh with a dull knife, then now it's like pouring molten iron directly into your veins!
"Stay calm! Fortune favors the bold! Victory or defeat hinges on this!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his mind nearly collapsing under the onslaught of excruciating pain.
Inside the main hall, the expressions of the four titled Douluo—Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan—all became solemn.
They could clearly sense the two terrifying energies clashing wildly within Lin Yu's body.
"Is this kid going to kill himself?" Ling Yuan Douluo couldn't help but exclaim. She had never seen such a domineering body tempering method before.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists. Although she was nervous, she did not intervene.
This was Lin Yu's own choice, and it was a test he had to face alone.
Inside the wooden barrel, Lin Yu continuously circulated the Yellow Springs Undying Scripture, transforming death energy into a huge gray millstone, and began to forcibly crush, decompose, devour, and assimilate the energy of the whale glue bit by bit!
"call!"
Lin Yu's body stopped trembling, and the crimson skin gradually faded.
After an unknown amount of time, the water in the wooden tub had turned completely black, like ink, and emitted a nauseating, fishy stench—the impurities expelled from Lin Yu's body.
Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and two gray beams of light flashed by.
He slowly stood up, stretched his body, and his bones crackled and popped, exuding an explosive sense of power.
He could feel that his physical strength had increased by at least 20%!
"Awesome!" Lin Yu roared inwardly. This feeling of being reborn was simply too wonderful.
With a thought, he checked his soul power.
"Holy crap? Level 16 already?"
Just by absorbing a piece of century-old whale glue, his soul power actually increased by another level!
"Teacher." Lin Yu stepped out of the wooden tub and bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong appeared in front of him instantly, ignoring the filth on his body, and placed her jade hand directly on his wrist.
A gentle surge of soul power entered Lin Yu's body.
The next second, a smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
She could clearly sense that Lin Yu's physical strength had indeed improved, and even his soul power level had advanced.
"That's right, it has indeed improved physical strength."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's affirmative words, the three Title Douluos were overjoyed. This was incredibly good news for the Spirit Hall!
"Pass on my orders!" Bibi Dong's voice regained the Pope's authority and decisiveness. "Use all available channels to secretly acquire all whale glue on the market, the older the better! This matter is classified as top secret and must not be leaked!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately accepted the order.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu again, her expression becoming extremely complicated.
The surprises this child brought her were truly one after another, each wave higher than the last.
She couldn't even think of anything to reward him for this tremendous achievement.
Just then, she suddenly remembered something Lin Yu had mentioned before.
Controlling the summoned ghosts consumes a great deal of mental energy.
Something appeared in Bibi Dong's mind: a head soul bone!
