Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber!
The next morning.
After ending his night of meditation, Li Fei planned to have breakfast before heading to Shrek Academy to gather.
Just then, his father, Li Jianguo, brought him some good news.
"Xiaofei, I had someone keep an eye out yesterday. Suotuo City Auction House happened to have a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, and I bought it for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Li Jianguo walked over with a beaming smile, took a red box from his Soul Tool, and opened it to reveal a gelatinous substance inside.
A strong fishy stench rushed at him, making Li Fei feel slightly nauseous.
But he adapted to it the very next second.
Delight flashed through his eyes. "I didn't expect to get it so quickly, and it's even ten thousand years old!"
He had not expected Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber to be so cheap during this era of Douluo Continent! Only ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?
Sure enough, in an era when no one recognized its value, getting hold of it was easy.
Once the secret of Whale Rubber was discovered ten thousand years later, its price would soar to astronomical heights.
Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber would be even more terrifyingly expensive.
"How do we use it next?" Li Jianguo asked.
"Just scorch it with high-temperature flames. Once it softens, extract the part that has melted into liquid and drink it," Li Fei said.
"Xiaofei, are you going to use it now?"
Li Yusong walked over and asked.
He was already prepared to set off for Shrek Academy.
"Grandpa, I plan to use it now, so I may not be able to go to Shrek Academy with you," Li Fei said. "My Soul Power is currently at the peak of Level 19. I have a feeling that after consuming this Whale Rubber, I'll be able to break through to Level 20!"
Whale Rubber originally could not directly help someone break through in Soul Power; it could only strengthen the body. However, if it was Whale Rubber of an extremely high age and was paired with special circumstances, such as cultivation techniques, it could potentially allow a Soul Master's Soul Power to achieve a breakthrough.
"Breaking through to Level 20? That's a good thing. There's no rush regarding Shrek Academy. I'll go over first and let them know. You can absorb it at home in peace." Li Yusong's eyes gleamed after hearing this.
"Alright, Grandpa." Li Fei nodded.
"Jianguo, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Li Yusong looked at his son.
Li Jianguo took out a card and said, "Father, there are one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins in this card. Take it and use it first."
Now that the Li Family could make large amounts of money from tissues and sanitary napkins, they had already earned back one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins in a single morning.
The costs were extremely low, but the profits were enormous.
Making money was ridiculously fast!
Before long, the Li Family would become a millionaire household.
In the future, they would aim for tens of millions and even hundreds of millions.
"Alright. Shrek Academy is in serious financial trouble right now, while our family no longer lacks money. I'll go give them some support first."
Li Yusong took the card and left immediately.
Neither Li Jianguo nor Li Fei had any objections.
Next, Li Jianguo began building a fire, an especially large one.
Seeing this, Li Fei suddenly thought of the induction cookers and gas stoves from his previous life.
Did Douluo Continent have oil? Even if it did, refining technology and equipment would be a huge problem.
I'll consider exploring oil fields after the Li Family has money from the sea.
Tang San has hidden weapons, so I'll use pistols.
If I make powerful thermal weapons, I can seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ahead of time. Even if I encounter Dugu Bo, I might not be unable to kill him.
Li Fei thought to himself.
As time passed, the Whale Rubber gradually melted beneath the scorching flames.
Li Fei and Li Jianguo waited quietly.
"Old Flender, Old Zhao, good morning."
Shrek Academy.
When Flender and Zhao Wuji saw Li Yusong again, both revealed looks of surprise.
They discovered that Li Yusong was no longer hunched over. His hair had become black and glossy, the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, and his entire body seemed to radiate vitality and youthful energy!
Even Li Yusong himself did not know what had happened. Ever since drinking the tonic last night, he felt as if his entire body had changed. The realm that had been stuck had also advanced by one level, reaching Level 64 Soul Emperor!
He had originally thought that Level 63 Soul Emperor was the end of his potential. Even if he continued to make breakthroughs afterward, it would take an extremely long time, with a single level perhaps taking years.
Yet unexpectedly, after drinking a bowl of soup last night and sleeping, not only had he awakened feeling refreshed, brimming with vigor and life force, but he had also advanced by an entire level.
This took him by surprise.
It was not just him. Li Jianguo and Su Lan were the same.
More importantly, the dragon patterns on his Dragon Pattern Staff were changing as well, seemingly becoming even stronger.
His physique had also undergone a massive transformation, and he felt that raising his cultivation in the future would become much easier.
"Old Li, we haven't seen each other for just a week. How have you changed so much? Did you take some kind of tonic? I feel like you've become younger!"
"Old Li, what did you eat? Tell your brother about it."
Flender and Zhao Wuji both walked over, carefully examining Li Yusong as they spoke.
Li Yusong told them about the tonic he had consumed, and both said that they would get some to try later.
"Where are Shao Xin and Lu Qibin?" Li Yusong asked.
"They're preparing things in the back courtyard," Flender said.
"What did you gain from this trip?" Li Yusong looked at Flender.
Flender said, "My luck was pretty good. I found two promising seedlings. Hey, you two, come over here!"
He turned to look at the two young boys who happened to be walking over from nearby.
One was fat, while the other was thin.
"Teacher, Headmaster."
The two walked over, addressing them differently.
"This is Ma Hongjun, found in Turkey Village. His Martial Soul mutated from a turkey into an Evil Fire Phoenix, and he has Level 9 Innate Soul Power."
"This is Oscar, found in Luka Village. His Martial Soul is sausage, but he has Innate Full Soul Power!"
"With Xiaofei included, our academy now has two students with Innate Full Soul Power!"
Flender said, "These two may not be as talented as Xiaofei, but they're still rare and exceptional seedlings!"
"A mutated Martial Soul? A sausage with Innate Full Soul Power?"
Li Yusong revealed a surprised expression after hearing that.
Because of his own grandson, though, he was not quite so shocked.
"Good, good! Shrek Academy will only get better and better." Li Yusong laughed heartily.
"This is also a teacher at Shrek Academy, Li Yusong. His Martial Soul is the Dragon Pattern Staff, and he is a six-ring assault-type Soul Emperor."
Flender introduced Li Yusong to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
"Hello, Teacher Li!"
The two youngsters were very polite.
However, they were extremely curious about the Xiaofei Flender had mentioned.
One had a mutated Martial Soul, while the other had Innate Full Soul Power. Their talent was already excellent, yet the headmaster claimed there was someone even better than them?
And that person also had Innate Full Soul Power?
Ma Hongjun thought to himself, So I'm the only one here without Innate Full Soul Power!
I'm inferior from birth!
"Good, good, good!"
"Old Flender, there are one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins in this card. It is funding from the Li Family to support Shrek Academy's development. Improve the food for our children from now on!"
"Also, on behalf of the Li Family, I have a huge business deal to discuss with you. It concerns distributor sales. Call Shao Xin and Lu Qibin over too. Everyone gets a share! Let's make money together!"
Li Yusong took out a card, handed it to Flender, and said.
