Whale Rubber?! This Stuff Could Actually Improve a Soul Master's Constitution!

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of level 26!"

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of level 27!"

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of level 28!"

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of level 29!"

Dugu Bo's pressure increased level by level, but when it reached level 29, just one level shy of 30, Dugu Yan could no longer hold on.

"Grandpa, stop!" Dugu Yan shouted.

Dugu Bo immediately withdrew his pressure and looked at Dugu Yan with heartache.

Dugu Yao, who was closest to Dugu Yan, picked her up from where she had collapsed on the ground and held her in his arms. Smiling, he said, "Yanyan, level 29! That's already enough to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Of course, its age won't be especially high, but a Thousand-Year Soul Ring is still stronger than a Hundred-Year Soul Ring."

Lying in Dugu Yao's arms, Dugu Yan felt somewhat dejected. Her body was not strong enough to withstand the pressure of level 30. Her brother must be very disappointed, right?

"Brother, I disappointed you, didn't I? I didn't reach level 30." Dugu Yan spoke weakly, her voice choked with tears.

"According to Grandpa, a level 20 Soul Master can absorb a Soul Ring of around 764 years, while a level 30 Soul Master can absorb one of around 1,760 years."

"Yanyan, although your body isn't strong enough to withstand level 30 pressure, absorbing a Thousand-Year Soul Ring won't be a problem at all. Don't be upset," Dugu Yao comforted her.

What he meant by being able to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring after withstanding level 30 pressure was only a broad statement. As long as one's body could endure pressure above level 25, absorbing a low-age Thousand-Year Soul Ring would still be entirely possible.

Watching the two of them, Dugu Bo felt immensely satisfied. Smiling, he said, "Yao'er, Yanyan, rest up and recover your strength. Later, Grandpa will take you hunting for Soul Rings. Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts are still very easy to find in Sunset Forest!"

Dugu Yao helped Dugu Yan to her feet, the corner of his lips curling slightly. Thinking about how what he was about to say would shock everyone once again, he could not help wanting to laugh.

"Grandpa, I don't think we need to absorb Soul Rings so early," Dugu Yao said calmly.

"Hm?" Dugu Bo raised a brow. "Yao'er, are you about to stir up something again? Go on, then. Let's see what new discovery you've made!"

"What do you mean, stir up something? What I'm about to say will be very useful to both my sister and me, and it's information from the answer given by Spirit Sensing!"

"Although I learned it indirectly, I believe Spirit Sensing can't be wrong," Dugu Yao grumbled.

"Yao'er, go ahead. We're listening!" The moment Dugu Bo heard the words Spirit Sensing, he instantly perked up. Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu did the same.

What new discovery had Dugu Yao made this time?

Pretending to be puzzled, Dugu Yao asked, "Grandpa, do you know what Whale Rubber is?"

"What's Whale Rubber?" Dugu Yan also looked completely bewildered. She had never heard of such a thing.

When Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu heard the words Whale Rubber, they exchanged a smile without saying anything. This thing was good stuff, but unfortunately, it was useless to Soul Masters.

"Whale Rubber? Why are you asking about that thing?" Dugu Bo's expression darkened. How could he not know about it? But why was Yao'er asking?

Seeing Dugu Yao staring straight at him, Dugu Bo gave a dry cough and explained, "Of course I know about Whale Rubber!"

"It is produced in the brains of whale-type Spirit Beasts and is a special substance. However, it is useless to Soul Masters. It can even damage a Soul Master's foundation!"

"Those nobles, on the other hand, are quite fond of it. Whale Rubber isn't exactly a secret; you simply don't know about it because you're still young."

"Grandpa, you're wrong!" Dugu Yao refuted. "Spirit Sensing told me that Whale Rubber can improve a Soul Master's constitution, which completely contradicts what you said!"

"This was information I learned indirectly from a spirit herb. Of course, if there were a piece of Whale Rubber in front of me, I might be able to learn more details!"

"This thing can improve a Soul Master's constitution?" Dugu Bo said in shock. He was extremely familiar with Whale Rubber. If it could truly improve one's constitution, how could the Soul Master world have failed to discover it until now?

However, Yao'er's Martial Soul came with the innate ability Spirit Sensing, and the answers it gave were absolutely accurate. That meant Whale Rubber truly could improve a Soul Master's physique!

There was no need to doubt it. They had been able to absorb those Immortal Herbs precisely because of the Spirit Sensing ability that came with Yao'er's Martial Soul.

"Yao'er, are you sure?" Dugu Xin asked.

"Of course I'm sure. It's information I learned indirectly from a spirit herb. It isn't complete, but it can't be false. If there were a piece of Whale Rubber and Xiangliu absorbed its aura..."

"The answer from Spirit Sensing would be even more accurate!" Dugu Yao declared with certainty.

Yet Xiangliu, lying on his shoulder, had no idea that its master was already using it as a tool. It was still affectionately rubbing against Dugu Yao.

"Whale Rubber can strengthen the body, fortify the foundation and bones, and increase the endurance of one's meridians. This substance is highly nourishing for Soul Masters, especially in terms of improving their physical constitution!"

"Consuming top-grade Thousand-Year Whale Rubber can increase a Soul Master's Soul Ring absorption limit by around 500 years. However, low-purity Whale Rubber not only fails to strengthen the body, but also damages a Soul Master's foundation!"

"That's why the Soul Master world has yet to pay attention to it. Those noble lords, meanwhile, treat it as a precious aphrodisiac and kidney tonic, and pursue it fervently!"

"I also know the purification method, and it's very simple. A fire-attribute Soul Master only needs to use the high temperature of Martial Soul Possession to melt it. Then the effects of the Whale Rubber will reach their peak and benefit Soul Masters!"

"Of course, for a powerful Soul Master like Grandpa, refining it with Soul Power would make little difference. Once melted, Whale Rubber turns into a soft, gelatinous substance!"

If it weren't for Spirit Sensing, explaining all this would really be troublesome. Now I can just pin everything on Spirit Sensing!

Anyway, as long as Xiangliu absorbs the aura of Whale Rubber, Spirit Sensing will give an answer. There's no difference. Dugu Yao thought to himself.

They had to consume Whale Rubber. After consuming it, not to mention his sister, he himself would definitely have no problem absorbing an 8,000-year Soul Ring!

Since they had already absorbed the Immortal Herbs and enhanced their constitutions, they might as well push the Soul Rings they absorbed to the absolute limit of what they could endure. Otherwise, he would be letting down the Xiangliu Inheritance and his identity as a transmigrator.

Just yesterday, he had merely been unwilling to settle for a Hundred-Year Soul Ring and wanted to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Yet now, the Soul Ring he could absorb was already very close to a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
