Whale Glue

"I have prepared a cultivation room specifically for you, though it is still being furnished."

There was no place on Pope Mountain suitable for Huo Yuhao to cultivate his spiritual power.

Or rather, there were almost no humans currently who knew how spiritual power should be cultivated.

The reason it was "almost" was because there was still someone who knew.

That person was currently still inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

"Although Teacher cannot teach you how to cultivate spiritual power, I do know of some natural treasures that are suitable for you."

Qian Daoliu, the current Pope of Spirit Hall and the future Great Elder of the Elder Palace, was currently vying for the top spot as Huo Yuhao's primary benefactor.

His status as an angel investor was, by all accounts, set in stone.

Qian Daoliu did not chat with Huo Yuhao for too long. "You must be tired after your journey to Spirit City. Don't rush into cultivation; go home and get a good two days of rest."

When Huo Yuhao stepped outside the palace, Guangling Douluo was already waiting for him.

The middle-aged man, who possessed the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth, held a large box of pastries. Seeing Huo Yuhao emerge, he immediately quickened his pace to greet him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, who was much shorter than him, Guangling Douluo couldn't help but reach out to ruffle his hair.

He had to ruffle it as much as he could while he still could; once the boy grew up and got taller, he wouldn't be able to reach!

"Here, this is something Uncle bought for you. Consider it a welcome gift for your arrival in Spirit City~"

Actually, it should have been called a greeting gift.

Guangling Douluo didn't particularly like children. Even if he knew Huo Yuhao was a genius, if the kid didn't suit his tastes, even a divine talent would be useless!

He hadn't expected the boy to be such a surprisingly pleasant little fellow.

It was only while Huo Yuhao was meeting with Qian Daoliu that Guangling Douluo had gone to the most popular pastry shop in Spirit City to buy the most sought-after treats in the palace.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Huo Yuhao did not decline, and he thanked Guangling Douluo sincerely.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

The residence prepared by Spirit Hall for Huo Yuhao and his mother, Huo Yun'er, was not far from Pope Mountain.

One could even say it was right at the foot of the mountain.

It was a small, two-story villa that looked quite aged.

Before he arrived in Spirit City, Qian Daoliu had already intended for him to be the future Pope's disciple, so the treatment provided was naturally not lacking.

Although there had been a small accident and he had become the current Pope's disciple instead, it made no difference.

On the streets outside, one could see squads of guards passing by; every member of these squads was at least a Great Spirit Master.

Even if no one had the guts to cause trouble here, one never knew if they might run into a fool.

Along the way, Guangling Douluo and Huo Yuhao chatted, and the smile never left Guangling Douluo's face.

Judging by his appearance, he looked more like a bright and cheerful youth.

"That is where I live. If you run into any difficulties, come to my place and find me; Uncle will help you solve them!"

Children didn't seem to be that annoying after all.

Should he find a woman and have a child of his own to play with?

"Thank you, Uncle."

Huo Yuhao waved goodbye to Guangling Douluo, and after he left, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Coaxing children really wasn't easy.

In the days that followed, Huo Yuhao began a disciplined life of cultivation.

Qian Daoliu had set up an array in both the Pope's Palace and his home that could gather the essence of heaven and earth more quickly.

Since the effect was similar to the Spirit Gathering Array that Huo Yuhao knew of, he had always called it that.

Every day, he would cultivate the spiritual power technique taught to him by Electrolux at home, then head to the Pope's Palace for personal guidance from Qian Daoliu, or to find suitable Spirit Masters to conduct physical training for him.

If Huo Yuhao were merely a spiritual-type Spirit Master, Qian Daoliu might not have placed such importance on his physical fitness.

But he possessed the most powerful beast spirit in the world and would certainly be a formidable battle-type Spirit Master in the future; how could he get by without knowing any martial arts?

When Huo Yuhao exhausted his physical strength, he would go straight to the cultivation room in the Pope's Palace, wash up, take a medicinal bath, and then continue cultivating his spirit power.

Huo Yuhao was exhausted to the point of collapse, unaware of the shock he had brought to the Spirit Masters training him.

That small body seemed to have an endless supply of brute strength and inexhaustible energy.

His combat experience was also improving at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Is this kid really six years old?

Is this what they call a genius?

It wasn't long before the rare treasures suitable for Huo Yuhao were delivered to the Pope's Palace one after another.

Among them was the "little cheat" that almost every protagonist in fan fiction seemed to use: Whale Glue.

When Qian Daoliu brought over the Whale Glue that Huo Yuhao had specifically requested, his expression was somewhat strange.

"Yuhao, you are still young. If you truly wish to understand the affairs between men and women, it would be better to wait until you are older."

People in this world were generally precocious; it was common for twelve or thirteen-year-olds to become parents.

But... six years old was just a bit too early!

Huo Yuhao's expression turned awkward.

He had known a moment like this would come.

"Teacher, I'm only six years old!"

A six-year-old brat, barely out of diapers—besides being able to cover someone in drool, what else could he possibly do?

"I don't want this for the reason you're thinking!"

As things stood, the only known effect of Whale Glue was its aphrodisiac properties.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was merely an aid for bedroom pleasure; seeing it, one would think of nothing but salacious matters.

"When I was in the Star Luo Empire, I saw someone accidentally ingest this. That soul master was injured at the time and couldn't find anyone to help him resolve the effects, so he just endured it. After he recovered, he discovered that his physical constitution had become stronger."

Since Huo Yuhao was to become a disciple of the Spirit Hall Pope, his background would naturally be investigated.

The people of Spirit Hall might not be able to find a needle in a haystack to trace the life of him and his mother, but with the testimony of the villagers from Guyan Village and Ye Cangwu, his identity was sufficiently proven.

After all, even the soul masters of Spirit Hall could not peer into the backyards of those royal family members.

"It truly has such an effect?"

Qian Daoliu was astonished.

Had the world been using Whale Glue incorrectly all this time?

Not just him, but even Poseidon on Sea God Island likely didn't know that a product from their vast ocean possessed such a miraculous property.

"Teacher, this doesn't harm the human body; you can simply find someone to test it."

If Spirit Hall lacked anything, it certainly wasn't soul masters.

So many people had consumed Whale Glue in the past without dying; at most, they just felt a surge of fire and went home to resolve it.

Qian Daoliu nodded.

A few days later, Qian Daoliu handed the Whale Glue over to Huo Yuhao.

An improvement in a soul master's physical constitution meant that they could withstand soul rings of higher age limits.

This was a massive discovery for the entire world of soul masters.

However, after some thought, Qian Daoliu decided not to make this public.

Whale Glue came from the giant whales of the deep sea. Whether it was humans hunting these whales for the glue or the whales killing human soul masters in retaliation, neither was a good thing.

Especially for those large sects; they were capable of anything to make their disciples stronger.
