Whale Rubber Body Cultivation

The outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

Yan Lingji stepped sideways out of the Flame Lizard's cave, her fingertips lightly tossing a few century-old Flame Fruits that were as bright red as fire.

The lair behind her, reeking of sulfur, had been completely picked clean.

Having secured tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, three century-old Flame Fruits, and a pile of Flame Grass, these were all spiritual medicines capable of increasing cultivation for fire-attribute soul masters.

"These two beasts specifically targeted humans, dragging passing soul masters into their cave as stored rations. All the wealth they hoarded over these years has now conveniently fallen into our hands."

Yan Lingji's voice carried a hint of a chuckle.

"Don't get ahead of yourself yet. Let's head back to the city; I'll hunt down some good items for you to temper your physique, so we can raise the absorption limit of your first soul ring and go straight for a ten-thousand-year one."

"Using a ten-thousand-year level for my first soul ring?" Yan Lingji raised an eyebrow slightly, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"A ten-thousand-year soul ring is something only a Soul King is supposed to be able to absorb,"

Jiang Ce analyzed, "I can provide you with a triple amplification, but the stronger your physical foundation, the more potent the power I can feedback to you."

"Let's refine your frame first, then we'll go straight for soul beasts starting at twenty thousand years."

"The higher the soul ring age, the rarer the soul skill, and naturally, the greater its power."

Yan Lingji tucked the Flame Fruits into her pouch, her enchanting figure casting a long, slender silhouette upon the ground.

The 36E curves, wrapped in black tight-fitting leather, appeared even more heart-stopping in the twilight glow.

"Then what should we look for?"

"Ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. It's a treasure for tempering tendons and bones, and increasing the absorption limit of soul rings."

Although absorbing soul beasts could also provide feedback in physique, mental power, and soul power, Yan Lingji was essentially a magic-type cultivator, and her physical constitution was too weak.

If she had ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber to temper herself, it would greatly stimulate her potential.

The feedback she received from absorbing soul beasts in the future would be enhanced even further on that foundation.

"Most people in this world don't know its true value, so the price hasn't been driven up yet."

"But just in case we don't have enough gold, let's slaughter a few more soul beasts on the way back to earn some extra coins."

"Heh, Master certainly knows how to manage a household."

A charming curve tugged at the corner of Yan Lingji's mouth as she spoke in a teasing tone.

With a flash of her figure, she became like a streak of light in the dark night, instantly darting into the depths of the dense forest.

Evening, Heaven Dou City.

As Yan Lingji stepped through the city gates, the surrounding noise dropped by several degrees.

A black and red dress clung to her tall, voluptuous frame, A slender waist supporting bountiful curves, 36E.

Her features were exquisite, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her red lips held a smile that wasn't quite a smile, like a lazy yet dangerous fox.

Yet, not a single person dared to look twice.

She radiated a sharp, murderous aura; ordinary people would hurriedly lower their gaze after just one glance.

"My Master, you really are interesting."

Yan Lingji's lips curled upward as she headed straight for the North City Auction House.

The manager of the auction house was a man in his forties, a worldly and experienced individual, but he still froze for a moment upon seeing Yan Lingji—

It wasn't just because of her beauty; her temperament was too unique—seductive without being gaudy, charming without being vulgar, and possessing an imposing presence.

However, he dared not linger with his gaze.

"Ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins per piece."

"Two pieces. And give me a few pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber as well."

The manager ordered the goods to be retrieved, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Whale Rubber was mostly used by nobles at banquets to liven up the atmosphere.

Ordinary families usually only used century-old Whale Rubber at best.

Now, a beauty of this caliber had come to buy it in person; either the master behind her had an incredibly noble status, or...

He didn't dwell on it.

Years of experience told him not to ask about things he shouldn't.

The goods were delivered: two dark-gold, gelatinous masses the size of human heads, sealed in crystal boxes.

The total came to twenty-four thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Yan Lingji paid quickly and decisively, leaving behind a single sentence, "Keep any stock you get for me," before turning to leave.

Just as she stepped out of the auction house, she sensed several gazes clinging to her.

Several men with shrewd eyes stared at her retreating figure, one of whom exchanged a glance with the others before disappearing at a quick pace.

"Heh." Yan Lingji let out a soft chuckle, paying them no mind.

West of the city, the base of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group.

The leader, Lei Hu, a six-ring Soul Emperor, was sitting in the main hall drinking.

"Boss, we found a babe over at the auction house!" A man with a sharp, monkey-like face leaned in close to Lei Hu, his eyes gleaming as he swallowed hard and lowered his voice.

"That figure, that face—it's incredible! I'm not bragging, but I've been roaming Heaven Dou City for so many years and seen plenty of beauties, but this one... tsk tsk tsk, she is truly—absolutely incredible!"

Lei Hu set down his wine cup, his brow arching slightly: "What's her background?"

"A fresh face, from out of town, no guards around her." The man leaned in even closer, his voice growing increasingly sycophantic. "Her eyes are like soul-hooks, and when she smiles, there's three parts charm and seven parts chill—just one look, and my legs went weak."

Lei Hu stroked his chin, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Find out her background first. Keep an eye on her, but don't make any rash moves."

"Understood!" The man acknowledged and retreated.

Lei Hu picked up his wine cup, a look of longing hard to hide in his eyes—such a beauty, just thinking about her was enough to stir one's desires.

Rose Hotel.

Yan Lingji closed the door and opened the crystal box; the dark golden Whale Rubber glowed with a warm luster under the candlelight.

"My Master, is this thing really for tempering... the physique?" Her tone was drawn out, laced with a hint of playfulness. "Or is it that you intend to do something... strange with it?"

As she said this, the meaningful curve of her lips deepened.

"What else would it be?"

"The person in charge at the auction house had a strange look in his eyes," Yan Lingji's lips curled. "It looked like pity—the kind you give a beauty about to be ruined."

Furthermore, now that she had returned to her room.

When she was out walking, she wore a black silk bodysuit to accentuate her figure, layered under her usual dress.

But now that she was back in her room, her dress shifted again, leaving only a layer of sheer gauze draped over her, as if she were wearing nothing at all.

The implication of this was self-evident.

"The orthodox use of this item is body tempering, but most people in this world have gone down the wrong path."

"Oh? So it has 'another use'?" The smile in Yan Lingji's eyes deepened.

"People in this world use it as an aphrodisiac."

"..."

Yan Lingji fell silent for a moment. She looked at the tentacles swaying slightly before her, her eyes narrowing as a seductive smile tugged at her lips.

"So, my Master, are you already so impatient to have me?"

"You are already my possession; what do you mean by 'impatient'?"

Before the words had even faded, the Venom gauze on Yan Lingji's body surged.

Several tentacles shot out instantly, binding her entire body tightly.

Even the two mounds on her chest were bound until they looked like the arms of a Michelin Man mascot.

Yan Lingji's cheeks flushed bright red.

Crap, I played too hard this time.

Her Master was clearly a domineering sort who would not tolerate provocation.

"You are mine, and the most important thing right now is to strengthen your physique."

Jiang Ce's tone was flat.

In this world, he was a Venom symbiote, not a human.

He was essentially a Soul Beast.

Yet, this damn world didn't allow Soul Beasts to become gods.

Therefore, he had to cultivate Yan Lingji to reach the rank of God King.

If that Little Bastard could do it with a second-rate cultivation technique, how could Yan Lingji, under his tutelage, possibly fail?

The tentacles suddenly vanished.

Losing her support, Yan Lingji collapsed onto the bed, her proud assets flattened into a pancake.

Yan Lingji let out a sigh of relief, propping up her upper body to rub the areas that had just been squeezed so tightly.

The massive mounds on her chest wobbled.

"Master, you really are something. To squeeze something so soft and tender so tightly—you don't know how to cherish a beauty at all."

Yan Lingji's tone carried a hint of grievance.

To have her "big darlings," which she had pampered for so many years, treated like that—it was a bit bullying.

Look.

"Snap—"

A mass of liquid surged out from the black bodysuit on her back, coalescing into a palm that struck her shapely buttocks with a crisp sound.

"Little vixen, get to work."

Yan Lingji let out a coquettish whine, rubbing the spot that had been struck, and asked, "Then how am I supposed to eat this?"

"Use your flames to process it first. You must ingest it that way for it to be effective; otherwise, it's just an aphrodisiac."

"This stuff also builds up a tolerance. Your strength is equivalent to a Spirit King, so eat two pieces at once. That will yield the maximum effect."

"Yes."

Yan Lingji flipped her palm, and a ball of crimson flame rose up, enveloping the two pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, roasting them until they softened and melted.

"Eat it, then use the medicinal power to temper your body."

Yan Lingji obediently consumed all of the softened Whale Rubber.

In an instant, Her eyes turned into pools of spring water, shimmering and rippling, And the aura of charm and allure radiating from her body grew several times stronger.

Her skin flushed a deep peach-red, and low moans spilled from her lips.

Bewitching and enchanting, she was the very picture of a femme fatale.

"You really are a fox spirit. No wonder the Martial Soul you awakened is a fox spirit."

"Refine this medicinal power well and integrate it into your limbs and bones."

Under Jiang Ce's reminder, Yan Lingji struggled to maintain her clarity.

Immediately after, The medicinal power began to truly take effect.

The reaction was violent.

A heat flow surged into her body like a bursting dam; every inch of her meridians was burning, and every muscle was being reshaped.

She gritted her teeth, digging her fingernails into her palms, and let out a muffled groan.

"Master, is this thing... really for tempering the body?"

"If it hurts, that's good. That means it's strengthening you."

"...Master says it so easily."

After all, another function of this thing was to serve as an aphrodisiac.

Yan Lingji focused her mind, circulating the Fire Charm Technique to integrate the medicinal power into her bones, muscles, and meridians inch by inch.

She sat like that for nearly two hours.

The medicinal power was barely dissolved, yet her body remained flushed a faint peach-red, and the mist in her eyes had not yet dissipated.

The efficacy of two pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber was simply too potent.

Even with her cultivation technique to circulate the power, she still felt as if she were burning from the inside out.

Jiang Ce felt that her physique had clearly strengthened significantly and nodded in satisfaction.

He let out a cackle.

Then, he took another piece of Whale Rubber and fed it to Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji, who had only just managed to recover her senses, was about to say something when it was shoved into her mouth.

Her body turned peach-red once more, her eyes swirling like water.

"Master..." That soft call was incredibly seductive, bewitching and alluring.

"Heh heh, little vixen, now it's my turn."

A good while later.

The door to the hotel room began to be pounded on, as if something urgent were happening.
