Found the Method and Taking It for Real

Many people shared the same idea as the owner of the Suotuo City apothecary.

Of course, many others completely broke down after seeing this scene, then vented their frustration by selling off all the Whale Rubber in their hands at rock-bottom prices.

[The video continued...]

[Ye Hengchuan's words did not make Yu Xiaogang give up on researching Whale Rubber.]

[The reason Yu Xiaogang wanted to conduct several more rounds of experiments was to prevent exactly this situation.]

["Uncle Ye, don't be anxious yet. Think about it. Those nobles who often use Whale Rubber use Whale Rubber that is a hundred years old, or even a thousand years old."]

["And what happened? Nothing went wrong for them. In other words, Whale Rubber isn't actually as dangerous as you think."]

[Yu Xiaogang spoke to reassure him.]

[Ye Hengchuan was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking it over according to Yu Xiaogang's words, he realized that it was indeed true.]

["Whale Rubber really is strange. It can strengthen the body, but once its age increases, it threatens the user's life. And the solution is also simple: just consume the medicinal effects."]

["I've been in Thunder Dragon Hall for so many years, and I even traveled across the continent with your father back then, but this is the first time I've seen something so bizarre."]

[Ye Hengchuan clicked his tongue in amazement.]

[Yu Xiaogang, who was standing nearby, said nothing. He was thinking.]

[Since Whale Rubber that was several decades old could strengthen the body, there was no reason why hundred-year or thousand-year Whale Rubber could not be used.]

[Combining this with the cases of the pigs dying, Yu Xiaogang could basically conclude that their bodies had been overwhelmed by the medicinal effects of the Whale Rubber, causing their deaths.]

[Therefore, the path of using Whale Rubber to strengthen the body was still viable. He simply had to find the correct way to use it.]

[Having established this point, Yu Xiaogang looked at Ye Hengchuan.]

["Uncle Ye, let's first try processing the Whale Rubber. Then we'll feed the processed Whale Rubber to the pigs and see whether anything changes."]

["Process it first? You mean we haven't found the right way to use Whale Rubber?"]

[Ye Hengchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.]

[As soon as Yu Xiaogang said this, he thought of many medicinal ingredients that required special processing before use.]

[Could Whale Rubber also be something that needed special processing?]

["That's right. Whale Rubber that is several decades old can strengthen the body, so there's no reason why hundred-year or thousand-year Whale Rubber can't."]

["So next, we can try different methods. For example, reducing the dosage, taking it in separate batches, or pairing it with other medicinal ingredients."]

["We could even boil the Whale Rubber in water, dilute it with the water, and then administer it."]

["We have enough time. We'll find a suitable method eventually!"]

[Yu Xiaogang said.]

[And so, the pigsty began using all kinds of methods to process the Whale Rubber before feeding it to the pigs.]

[Throughout this process, Yu Xiaogang kept recording every processing method.]

[He compiled all the data into records, organized it, and then studied it.]

[Before long, Yu Xiaogang extracted a piece of information.]

["Boiling, frying, dry-roasting... After being treated by these methods, the Whale Rubber allows the pigs to withstand increasingly greater ages!"]

["In other words, the correct way to use Whale Rubber is to heat it!"]

[Looking at the information he had compiled, a smile appeared at the corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth.]

[Who could have imagined that the correct method for using Whale Rubber would be so simple?]

[Holding the final results he had organized, Yu Xiaogang went to Ye Hengchuan and told him everything.]

[Looking at the experimental data Yu Xiaogang handed him and the conclusions drawn from analyzing it, Ye Hengchuan was speechless.]

[The data had already explained everything. What else could he say?]

[He could only sigh inwardly that Xiao Gang was indeed Big Brother Yu's son. Even if the heavens were unwilling to grant him talent, he could still rise to prominence.]

[After confirming the true method of using Whale Rubber, Ye Hengchuan summoned a Fire Attribute Soul Emperor to assist Yu Xiaogang in completing the final experiment.]

[This time, nothing went wrong.]

[The Fire Attribute Soul Emperor repeatedly heated a piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber until it softened, then fed it to a pig.]

[On the third day, the pig was completely unharmed. Its body had also become stronger than ever, with a toughness already no weaker than that of a hundred-year Soul Beast.]

[After obtaining this result, the huge burden in the hearts of Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan, especially Yu Xiaogang, finally fell away.]

[With Whale Rubber helping him improve his physical constitution, he could finally obtain higher-year Spirit Rings and embark on the path of defying fate and changing his destiny.]

[However, despite this, Ye Hengchuan was still somewhat uneasy.]

["So far, all the experiments have been conducted on pigs. We haven't tried them on humans yet. We need some real human examples before I can feel at ease letting you use Whale Rubber."]

["If it were your father, he would probably think the same way."]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang did not object.]

[Thus, the next day, a Soul Master whose Soul Power had reached level ten and who was preparing to obtain his first Spirit Ring was brought before Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan.]

["Young man, listen carefully. We're going to have you help us complete an experiment."]

["If the experiment fails, you probably won't lose anything. At worst, I, Ye Hengchuan, swear by my name that if anything goes wrong, I'll ensure you live comfortably for the rest of your life."]

["But if the experiment succeeds, kid, the benefits you'll receive will be beyond your imagination. When the time comes, I can even personally help you obtain your first Spirit Ring."]

["Well? Are you willing to agree?"]

[Ye Hengchuan looked at the Soul Master before him and asked.]

[Yu Xiaogang, standing nearby, also observed the Soul Master.]

[He was sixteen or seventeen years old. Obtaining his first Spirit Ring at that age meant his talent was not particularly good.]

[He wore clothes washed pale from use, with several patches on them. His background was clearly poor as well.]

[For this Soul Master, if their experiment succeeded, the benefits he could obtain would indeed be unimaginable.]

[Even if the experiment failed, he would still have security for the rest of his life.]

["I agree."]

[After hearing Ye Hengchuan's words, the Soul Master agreed almost without hesitation.]

["Very good. By the way, what's your name?"]

["Wang Dachui."]

[Ye Hengchuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yu Xiaogang. The two exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their faces.]

[They brought Wang Dachui to the rear hall. The Fire Attribute Soul Emperor processed a piece of roughly three-thousand-year Whale Rubber, then handed it to Wang Dachui.]

[Wang Dachui did not hesitate. Ignoring the Whale Rubber's searing heat, he swallowed it in one bite, then looked at Ye Hengchuan.]

["What are you waiting for? Cultivate! Just do it the way you normally do. Remember, suppress the restlessness in your heart."]

[With Ye Hengchuan's instructions, Wang Dachui closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and cultivated according to his usual method.]

[Before long, Wang Dachui felt heat spreading throughout his body. However, remembering Ye Hengchuan's words, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart.]

[After an unknown amount of time, the sensation of heat throughout his body faded, and only then did Wang Dachui open his eyes.]

["Feel how your body is now."]

[Hearing this, Wang Dachui instinctively moved his body around, then revealed an incredulous expression.]

["My body... it's so strong!"]

["Strong is good! I was worried you wouldn't be strong!"]

[Ye Hengchuan laughed heartily, walked over to Wang Dachui, and personally felt the strength of his body.]

[He was like a completely different person from before!]

[After reaching this conclusion, Ye Hengchuan looked at Yu Xiaogang with delight.]

[Although Yu Xiaogang's expression was much calmer, it was not difficult to tell from his tightly clenched fists that his excitement was no less than Ye Hengchuan's.]
