Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue

Biodata

Effects

Body Tempering and Vitality

• Strengthens the body and increases blood vitality. Twelve recipients on Sea God Island experience severalfold increases in blood and vitality after refining it 92.
• Repeated consumption helps Xia Feng and Liu Yuer develop physical strength comparable to Soul Kings or Soul Emperors 13.
• Particularly benefits Body Martial Souls, whose second awakening depends on blood and vitality. An eighty-thousand-year piece fuels Xia Feng’s Bronze-grade awakening 7.
• Xia Mu later considers using whale glue to complete a Gold-grade awakening, but this is a cultivation plan rather than a confirmed result at that point 23.

Soul Power and Cultivation Aptitude

• Supplies medicinal energy that can directly increase Soul Power. Xia Feng gains one level from a single piece, reaching level 33 10.
• Premium eighty-thousand-year whale glue is described as capable of improving cultivation aptitude 7.
• Works alongside medicinal baths, nourishing food, and suitable training environments rather than replacing cultivation 16.

Higher-Age Soul Ring Absorption

• Raises the age of Soul Rings a recipient can withstand by strengthening their physical foundation 36 43.
• Helps prepare recipients for God-Bestowed Soul Rings, whose attainable age depends on physical constitution 92.
• Does not itself grant Soul Skills; those come from the Soul Rings or Soul Bones acquired afterward 3.

Preparation and Limitations

Refining Methods

• Soul Power melting: Xia Mu instructs Ling Yuan to melt the glue with Soul Power before absorbing it 36.
• Medicinal baths and stance training: The Primordial Stake Art helps circulate and absorb its medicinal power, while medicinal baths provide additional body tempering 4 36.
• Assisted refinement: Xia Mu personally helps companions dissolve its medicinal power, including Ge Long, Bai Baoshan, and Meng Shenji 59 92.
• Divine Ascension Stairway: Sea God Island’s stairway can temper the body while helping recipients digest the remaining medicinal power 92.

Restrictions and Side Effects

• Immature bodies cannot safely bear it. At eight and nine years old, Xia Mu avoids the ten-thousand-year grade because his developing body cannot withstand its surging vitality; premature consumption could hinder his growth 13 16.
• Absorption can be painful. Xia Mu warns his parents that refining the ten-thousand-year grade will involve suffering 4.
• It is a potent aphrodisiac. Ge Long raises concerns about this side effect; Xia Mu jokes that he can freeze affected recipients with ice-attributed Soul Skills if necessary 92.
• Physical strength is not the only Soul Ring requirement. Despite consuming whale glue, Xia Feng and Liu Yuer cannot obtain ten-thousand-year fourth rings because their earlier ring foundations and spiritual power are insufficient 10.
• Xia Mu states that an over-limit ten-thousand-year fourth ring requires a third ring of at least five thousand years, together with adequate spiritual power 10.

Grades and Related Variants

“Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue” includes pieces substantially older than ten thousand years, such as the fifty-, seventy-, and eighty-thousand-year specimens obtained by the Xia family 7 13.

Documented Cultivation Results

These results involve whale glue alongside the recipients’ existing foundations, cultivation methods, and other resources; they are not guaranteed gains from every piece.

Acquisition and Trade

Market Value

In this era, whale glue’s cultivation uses are not widely understood. Ten-thousand-year specimens are largely held as private collectibles by great nobles and only occasionally appear at auction 3.

Major Acquisitions

• Initial family supply: Liu Yuer obtains one ten-thousand-year piece and two millennium pieces, exhausting her available funds 3.
• Heaven Dou Auction: Xia Mu purchases four ordinary ten-thousand-year pieces and one premium eighty-thousand-year piece 6 7.
• Vast Sea City stockpile: The family moves to the coastal city partly for access to whale glue. Before leaving, Liu Yuer spends half a month acquiring more than ten high-quality pieces 7 13.
• Evil Spirit Orca harvest: After the Evil Orca King’s defeat, the group recovers seventeen ten-thousand-year pieces from its frozen followers, plus a separate two-hundred-thousand-year piece from the king 88.

Holy Spirit Cult Distribution

• Xia Mu uses whale glue to strengthen allies and followers, including Ling Yuan, Shui Qingwu, and the Sea God Island trial participants 36 43 92.
• When founding the Holy Spirit Cult, he explicitly lists Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue among the rare medicines to be sold through the Holy Spirit Chamber of Commerce and Spirit Pagoda network 121.
