There was also an opportunity out at sea that he had yet to seek out.
That was Poseidon's inheritance.
Although he already possessed the inheritances of two gods,
that did not mean he could not freeload another Divine Inheritance.
As long as he did not complete the final trial or inherit the god position, it would be fine.
Moreover, Poseidon's inheritance was not merely Tang San's cheat.
The Sacred Pillar Trial within could likewise help Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and the others improve their cultivation and aptitude.
It could even initially help them communicate with the gods of the God Realm. It was all benefit and no harm.
As for whether Poseidon would be angry?
Any problems could be discussed with the two God Kings. He was still just a child.
"Young Master."
Ling Yuan flew over, her wings beating.
Rou Tu followed close behind. She had changed into Spirit Hall clothing and looked as though she had accepted her fate.
"Mm, you came at just the right time."
Qian Renxin took out a piece of Whale Rubber from his Spatial Soul Tool—the five-thousand-year one.
"Use your flames to melt this Whale Rubber. I need it."
"Whale Rubber?"
Ling Yuan was slightly surprised as she took it.
Five-thousand-year Whale Rubber was extremely sturdy, comparable to steel, yet it was still no match for a Titled Douluo's flames.
After Ling Yuan's martial soul had been refined, a fire phoenix seemed to circle within her flames.
The five-thousand-year Whale Rubber melted in the fire, becoming softer, while the golden threads within became clearer.
At the same time, a sweet fragrance wafted out from it.
Qian Renxin collected it in a large bowl and said to Ling Yuan and Yue Guan,
"You two should leave first. As elders of Spirit Hall, you should have your own official duties to attend to."
"Yes."
Yue Guan and Ling Yuan prepared to leave.
But after thinking it over, Ling Yuan could not help turning back to remind him, "Young Master, this is five-thousand-year Whale Rubber. You must not eat too much at once, or it will ruin..."
Qian Renxin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ling Yuan immediately realized she had said too much and promptly covered her mouth with both hands.
Yue Guan snickered beside her.
You think you're so clever, knowing Whale Rubber cannot be eaten in excess. As if the Young Master wouldn't know that?
Qian Renxin sighed.
Originally, he had not wanted to reveal Whale Rubber's true use to the outside world.
But there was no harm in telling Yue Guan and Ling Yuan. They were his own people, and their mouths were probably tight enough.
"Whale Rubber's only known use is as an aphrodisiac, but in truth, it can help soul masters improve their physical condition, thereby increasing the upper limit of the soul ring age they can absorb."
Yue Guan and Ling Yuan stared at the bowl of Whale Rubber in astonishment.
They did not dare doubt whether Qian Renxin's words were true. After all, he was an inheritor of divine power and surely knew more secrets than they did.
It could improve a soul master's physique and increase the limit on their soul ring absorption.
Such a miraculous substance would surely become something all major factions fought over.
After all, the age of a soul ring determined the effectiveness of soul skills to a certain extent. It could be said to be one of the opportunities to surpass one's peers.
Furthermore, improving one's physical condition brought many other benefits to soul masters.
Yet treasures capable of achieving such effects were either top-grade medicinal herbs or soul bones—both extraordinarily valuable items.
"Remember to keep this secret. Do not spread it for the time being."
Qian Renxin gave a calm reminder.
"Of course. Thank you, Young Master, for clearing up our doubts."
Ling Yuan and Yue Guan hurriedly departed, heading toward Spirit City.
Although Whale Rubber was of little use to them now—after all, an ordinary piece of Whale Rubber could not do much for a Titled Douluo's body—
once such a miraculous product was exposed, its price in Gold Soul Coins would inevitably soar. Buying a batch early could still yield a fortune.
Qian Renxin had guessed their thoughts, but he did not care.
There was no way an individual could purchase as much Whale Rubber as Spirit Hall could.
Besides, the continent's current reserves of Whale Rubber were not large.
The places that truly produced Whale Rubber in abundance were the small islands along the coast.
And he would go to Sea God Island sooner or later. By then, directly controlling the source of supply would certainly be better than searching for it like a needle in the ocean.
He handed the large bowl full of Whale Rubber to Rou Tu and motioned for her to follow him into the room.
Rou Tu had excellent balance and carried the large bowl of Whale Rubber steadily.
"Has Xiao Wu already enrolled in school?"
Qian Renxin asked casually.
"Mm, it is all thanks to Master's help."
Rou Tu lowered her head in thanks.
Accompanied by Ling Yuan, she had even gone to visit Xiao Wu at the soul master academy.
The soul master academy in Spirit City was naturally top-tier, and Xiao Wu's talent was highly valued there.
"You may visit her once every three days, but Ling Yuan must accompany you."
A hint of joy appeared on Rou Tu's face. "Thank you, Master."
Qian Renxin nodded slightly and opened the door.
He then took the iron bowl filled with Whale Rubber, tore off a small piece, and placed it in his mouth.
Whale Rubber did not taste strange and had no fishy flavor at all. Perhaps the higher its age, the better it tasted.
Immediately afterward,
surging heat spread from his abdomen. The medicinal potency of the Whale Rubber was extremely overbearing, quickly making his face flush and leaving his mind unsettled.
"No wonder Ling Yuan warned me not to eat too much. If I swallowed this whole piece at once, I could probably keep going for days and nights with that kind of thing. Wouldn't I end up drained to death..."
Qian Renxin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had finally experienced the domineering medicinal potency of Whale Rubber.
Then,
he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his Soul Power to consume the Whale Rubber's medicinal effects.
With Soul Power suppressing it, the Whale Rubber's effects did indeed weaken somewhat.
But beads of sweat still continuously seeped from his face and body, soon soaking his entire outfit.
Once he had thoroughly digested the medicinal effects,
he continued feeding Whale Rubber into his mouth, repeating the process several times.
The medicinal potency within the Whale Rubber also circulated through his muscles, meridians, bones, and other areas.
Yet the scorching sensation in his body did not fade, and even his breathing gradually became hurried.
Rou Tu's Reward
At that moment, Qian Renxin felt as though he had a fever, his head dizzy and muddled.
Yet his body's reactions would not deceive him.
Physically, he was already a teenage boy, and every aspect of him had begun to take shape.
His mental age was not young either. Having transmigrated here, he naturally understood Rou Tu's actions.
The primal force within him found release, and the accumulated effects of the Whale Rubber were finally partially suppressed.
Qian Renxin naturally did not rush to enjoy himself. He quickly used Soul Power to break down all the remaining Whale Rubber energy.
Once everything had calmed down,
seeing that Qian Renxin's condition had gradually stabilized, Rou Tu prepared to pull away.
She choked and could not help coughing several times in succession, her small, pink tongue brushing over her lips.
Through that method of consumption,
the Whale Rubber's effects had clearly affected her somewhat as well. Her beautiful eyes were startlingly red, and her moist cheeks were flushed.
However, she had evidently not been affected too severely. Kneeling on the ground, she said solemnly,
"I acted on my own initiative. Please punish me, Master."
"No need. Get up."
Qian Renxin had a slight headache and hurriedly told her to rise.
In truth, he could have slowly digested all of the Whale Rubber himself. It would merely have been somewhat uncomfortable.
Only by keeping the Whale Rubber's medicinal effects within the body and allowing Soul Power to digest them slowly could it improve one's physical condition.
If the medicinal effects leaked out in the process, part of the benefit would be lost.
Otherwise, after consuming it for so many years, those nobles would have long become superhumans among ordinary people and surely would have discovered its secret of strengthening the body.
Still, he understood that Rou Tu meant well.
Though she might have harbored a few impure thoughts, her actions were ultimately well-intentioned.
And she really was quite soft...
He placed his hand on his Spatial Soul Tool and took out a long stalk of purple-red grass, around ten thousand years old.
"This is Soft Bone Tendon Forging Grass. It can enhance a soul master's flexibility and is especially useful to you Soft Bone Rabbit soul masters."
"As for whether you give it to yourself or your daughter Xiao Wu, you may decide freely. I will not interfere."
"Thank you for your gift, my lord!"
Rou Tu reached out to receive the Immortal Herb, her face filled with excitement.
This Immortal Herb would give Xiao Wu a little more hope of becoming a god.
She would certainly ascend to the God Realm someday and possess endless years ahead of her. Naturally, she did not wish to be separated from Xiao Wu.
"You're welcome. I had originally planned to give this Immortal Herb to Xiao Wu once you offered yourself as a sacrifice anyway..."
Qian Renxin waved his hand and spoke indifferently.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had plenty of Immortal Herbs. There was no need to care about one.
Rou Tu was in high spirits. Seeing Qian Renxin's flushed face, perhaps stirred by the Whale Rubber he had consumed, she felt a hint of teasing intent.
She took the initiative to tear off a piece of Whale Rubber, crouched down to feed it to Qian Renxin, her red lips glossy and alluring.
"Master, it is time to continue."
The next second,
Qian Renxin kicked Rou Tu out.
She sat outside the room in disarray, unable to figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, and began to feel a little anxious about her age.
Could it be that I am too old?
