Five Thousand Years of Whale Gum, I Want to Try

Within the radiant sanctuary, the air was filled with a sacred and gentle aura. Lin Mo and Qian Renxue sat cross-legged inside, regulating their breathing.

"Use the breathing method I taught you to circulate your soul power through your meridians. This is the Angel Clan's unique cultivation method—upright and harmonious."

Qian Daoliu's voice was ethereal and sacred as it slowly echoed beside Lin Mo's ears. Lin Mo followed the method Qian Daoliu had taught him.

After circulating his soul power through his body once, he indeed discovered that it was slowly increasing. Yet the newly gained soul power seemed to sink into a swamp and vanish without a trace.

As expected, this was because Lin Mo had yet to obtain his first soul ring.

This isn't right, is it? My second martial soul is clearly evil and dark. Won't the soul power cultivated through the Angel Cultivation Method conflict with it?

Why don't I feel anything? Is it because my level is too low? Hasn't it reached the point of conflict yet?

Lin Mo found it strange. He abruptly opened his eyes, looked at Qian Daoliu seated above, and voiced his doubts.

"Grand Enshrinement, is the Angel Cultivation Method only suitable for Angel Clan members, or soul masters with light and sacred attributes?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, Qian Daoliu paused for a moment before laughing heartily and explaining.

"We call it the Angel Cultivation Method because it was left behind by the ancestor of our Angel Clan. It only took its current form after countless generations of continuous revisions and improvements."

"Of course, just as I said, the soul power it cultivates is upright and harmonious."

"And the relationship between soul power and attributes is not as simple as you think."

Only then did Lin Mo let out a long breath. He had previously been troubled over how he should cultivate. After all, he possessed twin martial souls with opposing attributes. If he could not find a suitable cultivation method, he might even explode and die from an attribute conflict.

Now, the soul power cultivated through the Angel Cultivation Method was upright and harmonious, allowing the two types of soul power to transform into each other and coexist.

At that moment, Qian Renxue slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened her sparkling, doll-like eyes. She happily turned to look at Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, I've circulated it once too!"

Looking at the sweet and adorable Qian Renxue, Lin Mo felt his whole heart melt from cuteness. Little Qian Renxue was simply a little angel, a real-life doll.

Little Xue'er was so kawaii.

Qian Renxue apparently still did not think that was enough. She threw herself into Lin Mo's arms again, knocking him back a step and nearly sending him tumbling backward.

Fortunately, Lin Mo's physical condition was fairly good. He withstood Qian Renxue's bull-like tackle and smiled as he rubbed her head.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

Qian Renxue continued rubbing herself fiercely against Lin Mo in his arms, like a newly weaned kitten kneading milk.

"No, I won't."

Qian Daoliu watched the two playing around below and shook his head with a smile. He was quite satisfied with Lin Mo. After all, he had watched the child grow up, and Lin Mo had been childhood sweethearts with Qian Renxue. The two knew each other inside and out.

More importantly, the boy had drive, ambition, and decent talent. He was practically heaven's chosen husband for Qian Renxue.

"Alright, you two little ones."

"Especially you, Xue'er. Stop making a fuss."

"Since you've finished regulating your breathing, prepare to absorb the whale glue."

As soon as he said that, Qian Renxue and Lin Mo's attention was drawn over. Both stared intently at Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu did not keep them in suspense. With a flash of light in his hand, a jade box a full meter wide appeared before him and floated silently in the air.

Qian Renxue and Lin Mo rose to their feet and slowly approached Qian Daoliu, looking curiously at the jade box before them.

After all, although Lin Mo knew of whale glue from books, he had never actually seen it. He only knew that it seemed to come from a whale's brain.

"Based on your physical conditions, I have prepared whale glue of different ages."

"Tests have shown that the whale glue produced by the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan and the Evil Spirit Orca clan has the best effects."

"However, based on your physical conditions, it would be best for you to absorb whale glue between one thousand and five thousand years old. That is what your bodies can handle."

As he spoke, the lid of the jade box slowly opened. Immediately afterward, a pungent fishy stench crashed into Qian Renxue and Lin Mo's faces like ocean waves.

Qian Renxue could not help but frown deeply. Covering her nose, she slowly backed away two steps, feeling like she might retch.

Lin Mo also frowned. Though he felt uncomfortable, he still forced down his nausea and looked into the jade box.

The golden gelatin was crystal-clear and looked like fine gold, but as for the smell... it was hard to describe.

"Haha, this stuff really does smell bad."

"But it truly is good stuff."

"Alright, you two little ones. What age range are you planning to choose?"

Lin Mo glanced at the whale glue on the far right labeled 1,040 years. His gaze swept past it before settling directly on the highest-aged piece, marked 5,006 years.

"Grand Enshrinement, I'll choose this one."

Qian Daoliu looked in the direction Lin Mo pointed and frowned. Although he had said they could choose between one thousand and five thousand years, the range Qian Daoliu had actually wanted them to absorb was only around two thousand to three thousand years.

Who would have thought that Lin Mo would point directly at the highest one—five thousand years.

"Lin Mo, how about choosing another one?"

"Five thousand years is still too much for you. At the very least, a Soul Elder with a beast martial soul would be more suitable to absorb it."

After conducting comparative experiments again, the Enshrinement Hall had obtained new research reports. They discovered that for whale glue of the same age, the higher the quality of the soul beast, the more energy the whale glue contained—but, unexpectedly, the easier it was to absorb.

Perhaps because it contained fewer impurities, high-quality whale glue was actually easier to absorb.

"No, Grand Enshriner. I'll choose this one."

"Even if I take it in small amounts over multiple doses, it should still work."

"I want to try."

Lin Mo's gaze was firm, and his tone carried an unwavering resolve.

It was not that Lin Mo was particularly confident. Rather, his body's adaptability no longer allowed him to consider other options.

Those two things inside his body had begun stirring again. After being suppressed last time, they had behaved themselves for a while, but now they were starting to grow restless once more.

Lin Mo's idea was simple: improve his physical constitution. Let them fight all they wanted—so long as his body, this furnace, was tough enough, they could churn around inside it however they pleased.

Whale glue was only Lin Mo's first step. After all, the original work had mentioned that if one consumed too much whale glue, one seemed to develop resistance to it.

So for his first time, Lin Mo wanted to choose the highest quality available. After all, the Enshrinement Hall had quite a few life materials, enough to serve as a safety net for him.

Qian Daoliu frowned. Forcing himself to absorb this piece of whale glue would be no small challenge for Lin Mo, and he would have to endure considerable pain as well.

What he was more curious about now was what exactly Lin Mo was worried about. Why was he so eager to gain strength?

After all, in his eyes, Lin Mo was a clever child. From a young age, he had displayed remarkable intelligence. Whether in speech, conduct, or shrewdness, he was in no way inferior to an adult.

Qian Daoliu even felt that Qian Xunji, that brainless fool, might not be able to outmatch the boy before him when it came to scheming.

"Lin Mo, I want you to tell me the truth."

"Why exactly are you so eager to gain strength?"

A pained expression appeared on Lin Mo's face. So there was no escaping this after all? He had to come up with something now.

Lin Mo lowered his head slightly, making his expression look as sorrowful as possible. Then he abruptly raised his head, his burning gaze fixed on Qian Daoliu.

"I want to avenge my parents."

"One day, the Phoenix's blazing flames will burn the world clean and sweep away all evil."

"I will make them pay their blood debt in blood."
