Looking at the oddly shaped "stones" arranged inside the box,

Lan Yin's expression was somewhat strange.

When she had been collecting these things, the young girl at the Merchandise Pavilion had mentioned the uses of Whale Glue to her.

It was an extremely potent, yang-boosting substance specifically used by wealthy nobles to nourish their bodies.

Lan Yin had not understood any of this at first.

It was only because the young girl saw Lan Yin shopping alone

that she guessed whether Lan Yin had been fooled by her own man.

Blushing, she had quietly told her about this and that, repeatedly warning her not to be deceived by bad men.

But the young girl did not know

that Lan Yin was not only a Title Douluo, but could also clearly sense the goodwill and malice radiating from others.

Otherwise, she would not have specifically come to this Merchandise Pavilion to buy things.

Tang Chuan picked up a piece of Whale Glue and casually toyed with it.

He explained to Lan Yin, "This Whale Glue is a special substance produced in the brains of deep-sea whale soul beasts."

"In this era, no one has yet uncovered the true purpose of this heavenly treasure."

"That is why it is merely treated as an aphrodisiac."

"But in reality, Whale Glue can not only strengthen a soul master's physique, bones, and meridians."

"It can also greatly increase the number of years of soul rings one can absorb."

"Hundred-Year Whale Glue can increase it by around several decades."

"Thousand-Year Whale Glue can increase it by around five hundred years."

"Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue can increase it by around a thousand years."

"The first piece has the best effect when consumed. Each additional use afterward becomes less effective."

Lan Yin suddenly understood.

She lowered her head and glanced at the several pieces of Whale Glue in the box, pondering for a moment.

"Since the first one has the best effect, shouldn't we set our sights on Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue?"

Tang Chuan shook his head.

"The Whale Glue business has already been monopolized by sea soul masters. Most high-year Whale Glue on the market is unavailable no matter the price."

"The moment it appears, it gets bought by top sects and factions."

"It is already impressive that you found two pieces of Thousand-Year Whale Glue for me."

"When I grow up, I'll definitely reward you with several hundred million."

Lan Yin blinked innocently.

Several hundred million?

Several hundred million gold soul coins?

Wasn't that a little too exaggerated?!

"You'd better mean gold soul coins, not essence soul coins."

"Damn it, did his increased experience also make his thoughts dirtier? Just thinking about him taking advantage of that great beauty hurts more than not being able to find myself a wife."

"I think naughty little Tang Chuan is pretty cute too."

"Really? Then can I learn from him and use it to pursue my goddess next time?"

"Forget it, brother. Forget it. This depends on the character model."

"Damn, Whale Glue has that use? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"This stuff can actually increase the years of soul rings one can absorb? Thousand-Year Whale Glue can even increase it by five hundred years? I need to hurry up and buy some!"

"Quick, notify the sect master and have him take down every shop outside the sect that is selling Whale Glue."

"What? The Whale Glue is all sold out? Didn't I see a piece of Hundred-Year Whale Glue just ten minutes ago? Boss, did you secretly hide it yourself?"

The streets and alleys of the entire White World instantly fell into chaos.

After seeing Tang Chuan explain the uses of Whale Glue,

countless people immediately rushed to the nearest shops around them.

Unfortunately, those shop owners were all shrewd.

The moment they saw so many people coming to buy it, they immediately put the goods away.

Some were even more direct.

They began auctions on the spot.

As a result, a piece of Hundred-Year Whale Glue, originally priced at only a few hundred gold soul coins, instantly broke into four digits and even began climbing toward five digits.

It was not just them.

Top factions such as Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also began frantically gathering Whale Glue.

Only the experts of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect under heaven, stood atop their desolate mountain, staring blankly at one another.

They had been isolated from the world for many years.

They simply had no time to bother with such miscellaneous things.

In the end, they could only stubbornly insist that the people of the Clear Sky Sect did not need such unorthodox external items to improve their strength.

Only then did they barely soothe the restless sect disciples.

Having obtained the Whale Glue,

Tang Chuan took out paper and a pen, beginning to write and draw on it.

1: Thousand-Year Whale Glue (√) Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue (X)

2: Before the age of six, raise soul power to Rank 10 and perfect the Blue Silver Grass Spirit Gathering Formation that could gather the natural energy of heaven and earth (X)

3: Find a soul beast below the thousand-year level with an ultimate attribute (X)

4: Before obtaining the third soul ring, find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest (X)

5: Complete the martial soul awakening ceremony at Spirit Hall, join Spirit Hall, become the disciple of the Pope or an expert at the level of a worshipper, complete the infiltration plan within twenty years, and turn Spirit Hall into the Tang Family's backyard (X)

Lan Yin looked over the words written above.

"So these Blue Silver Grasses are the Spirit Gathering Formation you've been researching lately?"

"A method that allows soul masters who have not awakened their martial souls to begin cultivating soul power ahead of time?"

As she spoke, she gently raised her small hand and tucked a strand of hair, tousled by the breeze, behind her ear.

As the Blue Silver Emperor,

she could clearly sense that these Blue Silver Grasses from all directions were constantly transporting the dense natural energy from several kilometers away to Tang Chuan's side.

It could be said that in this environment, even her cultivation speed would be much faster than before.

However, this formation also had a drawback.

It could not last for long.

After all, the output of natural energy was limited. Once it had all been drained in a short time, it would take at least one or two days to recover.

Tang Chuan nodded, picked up the paper and pen, and began explaining the principles of the Spirit Gathering Formation to her.

"You can understand it this way: soul masters actually have no such thing as innate soul power."

"Everyone starts at Rank 0 from birth."

"And what we call innate soul power refers to the speed at which they absorb soul power from birth until the age of six."

"Full innate soul power is 100 points, while innate Rank 1 soul power is 10 points."

"But because the natural energy of heaven and earth on Douluo Continent is thin,"

"the amount of natural energy soul masters can absorb is affected, causing them to absorb at most one-tenth of their full capacity."

"So full innate soul power becomes 10 points, while innate Rank 1 soul power becomes 1 point."

"Suppose Tang San and I both only have innate Rank 1 soul power."

"Tang San's method is to use the Mysterious Heaven Technique to strengthen the circulation speed of his own soul power, forcibly increasing it tenfold. That is why he has full innate soul power."

"My method is to increase the concentration of natural energy, allowing my speed to return to the 10-point level."

"These are currently the only two methods on Douluo Continent that can raise one's soul power rank before awakening a martial soul."

Seeing this, the many experts of Spirit Hall

all frowned.

The second method was not easy to talk about, and even harder to accomplish.

How could they control Blue Silver Grass and create some kind of Spirit Gathering Formation?

That left only the first method.

At this thought,

countless people cast greedy gazes toward Tang San at the center of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
