Taking Whale Glue, Fighting Again

The next day, on Spirit Mountain, inside Bibi Dong's Cultivation Room.

"Ling Feng, take a look at this. What do you think it is?"

Bibi Dong reached into her storage soul tool and produced a crystal the size of a palm.

The crystal was dark brown, resembling the fish glue Ling Feng had seen in his past life, yet it was distinctly different.

"Is this Whale Glue?" Ling Feng asked.

Since Bibi Dong was the one presenting it, it certainly wasn't some ordinary fish glue, so Ling Feng guessed it easily.

Sure enough, Bibi Dong nodded and said, "That's right, this is Whale Glue!"

"But can this thing really strengthen the body? I heard... I heard that its primary use is for that?"

When she mentioned "that," Bibi Dong actually snuck a glance at a certain part of Ling Feng, her gaze unreadable, as if she were making a suggestive joke.

Since Spirit Hall had been purchasing Whale Glue, they naturally knew what its current medicinal reputation was.

When Bibi Dong first heard of the Whale Glue's effects, she had assumed Ling Feng was lying to her.

Yet, considering Ling Feng's intelligence, she knew he wouldn't dare risk the consequences of deceiving her and Spirit Hall.

"Ling Feng, don't tell me you need this to supplement your body because you're not capable in that department?" Bibi Dong asked with curiosity.

Ling Feng was not provoked by her words; there was nothing wrong with his body, so why would he be rattled by such a remark?

"Bibi Dong, what nonsense are you spouting! While this thing does have aphrodisiac properties, that is merely one of its uses."

"Hasn't Spirit Hall conducted any experiments?" Ling Feng asked.

Bibi Dong had only been teasing; seeing that Ling Feng's expression remained unchanged, she knew he wasn't lying.

"How could it be that fast? Spirit Hall is still in the middle of acquiring the Whale Glue; we haven't had time to run experiments yet!"

Bibi Dong handed the Whale Glue to Ling Feng and asked, "How is this supposed to be consumed? Should it be scraped into powder, or boiled into a gel and eaten?"

Ling Feng inspected the piece of Whale Glue before returning it to her.

"No, the method you mentioned only provides the aphrodisiac effect, while the body-strengthening benefits are minimal."

"If you want to use Whale Glue to strengthen your body, you must nourish it with your own soul power until it softens before consuming it."

"Alternatively, you can use flame to roast it until it softens and changes color; only then will it be effective."

"So that's how it is. No wonder no one discovered its true purpose!" Bibi Dong realized with a start.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong began to channel her soul power into the Whale Glue, eager to verify Ling Feng's explanation.

Under the influence of her soul power, the Whale Glue slowly heated up and began to change color.

The brown crystal softened, transforming into a golden, amber-like gel that was warm and supple, emitting a strange, intoxicating fragrance.

Ling Feng felt his blood begin to boil just from the scent.

This Whale Glue was the essence condensed within the brains of whale-type soul beasts; not only humans, but even other soul beasts craved it.

However, the soul beasts in the sea usually consumed it fresh.

The nobles on land, meanwhile, consumed the dried essence specifically for its aphrodisiac effects.

"It smells so good. Can I eat it now?" Bibi Dong asked.

Ling Feng nodded. "You can, but you'd better prepare a bucket of ice water."

"Ice water? There's no time for that, I'll just eat it!"

Bibi Dong didn't think much of it and placed the Whale Glue into her mouth.

She trusted Ling Feng implicitly and didn't bother having anyone test it first.

The Whale Glue was scalding and viscous, its fragrance echoing in her mouth and nose. Bibi Dong endured the discomfort and swallowed it.

Before long, she felt a wave of intense heat rising within her, and only then did she understand why he had suggested the ice water.

"It's so hot!"

Bibi Dong felt as if her blood were boiling, and her heart began to race.

Of course, the most significant change was that she felt her physical strength increasing substantially.

The sensation continued; as a Soul Sect, she could feel the effects of the Whale Glue far more acutely than an ordinary person.

"How are you feeling?" Ling Feng asked.

Bibi Dong looked up at Ling Feng upon hearing his voice. She suddenly felt that he looked incredibly handsome, and the aura he exuded was deeply attractive.

For a moment, her mind was filled with distracting thoughts, and she actually felt an urge to throw herself into Ling Feng's arms just to breathe in his scent.

"I feel great. The effects of this Whale Glue are just as you said; I can feel my body changing!"

Bibi Dong's voice seemed to have become thick and sultry, perhaps due to the scalding heat of the glue.

Seeing the way Bibi Dong's eyes seemed to glaze over, Ling Feng immediately realized that the side effects of the Whale Glue were taking hold.

These side effects weren't toxic; rather, they stimulated the body's primal instincts. Even a soul master would find it difficult to resist their own biological urges.

"Bibi Dong? Are you alright?" Ling Feng asked with concern.

This was Spirit City, after all. If something were to happen between him and Bibi Dong, wouldn't Qian Xunji hack him to pieces?

Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

"I lost to you in our last spar, but now that I've consumed the Whale Glue, my strength has increased significantly!"

"Why don't we try again? I'm certain I can defeat you this time!" Bibi Dong's gaze burned with intensity.

Ling Feng was startled by Bibi Dong's state. Could the quality of this Whale Glue be so high that it has turned her into this?

"Bibi Dong, your current state is not right. Let's spar again in a couple of days!"

"In two days, you should have mostly absorbed this Whale Glue as well. By then, we can spar again, and your chances of winning will be higher."

"What? Are you afraid?" Bibi Dong provoked him.

She hadn't let Ling Feng test the medicine first, partly because she wanted to regain her pride.

She was still a young girl in the prime of her youth; how could she not have a competitive spirit?

Moreover, as the Pope's disciple with twin martial souls and innate full soul power, she was treated like a star in Spirit Hall. How could she easily admit defeat?

More importantly, under the influence of the Whale Glue's medicinal effects, she felt a strong urge to be close to Ling Feng.

"That's right, I am afraid!" Ling Feng said.

However, he wasn't afraid of the Bibi Dong in front of him, but rather her teacher, Qian Xunji, and the Rakshasa Bibi Dong residing within his own Sea of Consciousness.

If something were to happen between him and Bibi Dong, Ling Feng dared not imagine how dire the consequences would be.

He had come to see Bibi Dong today for two reasons: first to cultivate, and second to have her try the Rakshasa Visualization Method.

He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to bring out the Whale Glue and consume it, disrupting his plans.

"Hmph, fear won't save you. We must spar today," Bibi Dong insisted forcefully.

With that, she lunged at Ling Feng. It was the same move as before, but its power seemed to have increased significantly.

Any Whale Glue that could reach Bibi Dong's hands would not be of low age; it was at least a thousand-year, or even a ten-thousand-year Whale Glue.

Such Whale Glue had a substantial effect on strengthening the body.

Relying on his superior spiritual power, Ling Feng moved after her but arrived first, catching Bibi Dong's small fist.

"Such great strength! Is this the effect of the Whale Glue?"

Ling Feng felt Bibi Dong's changes firsthand and began to feel a hint of anticipation for consuming the Whale Glue himself.

"Bibi Dong, stop now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Ling Feng warned.
