Second Soul Ring?! Ultimate Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

"Hmm?! I wonder, does this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue work on a Titled Douluo?" Dugu Bo froze slightly upon hearing this.

He then placed the piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue he had torn off into his mouth. It melted upon entry, turning into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones.

In an instant, Dugu Bo's eyes widened like bells as he muttered, "Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. This Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue actually has some effect even on a Titled Douluo. Could it be because this is my first time taking it?"

They said spirit bones were the treasures of Soul Masters, but even if the effects of this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue did not compare to spirit bones, it was likely second only to them.

Moreover, whale glue possessed an advantage that spirit bones did not: spirit bones had to be absorbed, whereas whale glue could be found everywhere. It was simply that no one else knew how to highly refine it!

Maybe it really is because this is my first time taking it. Yao'er said that the first time one takes whale glue is when its effects are most obvious.

After that, the effects of taking whale glue will diminish further and further until they vanish completely, leaving only its aphrodisiac and kidney-strengthening effects.

Dugu Bo thought to himself. In the past, he had not known the true way to use whale glue and had dismissed it with scorn. Now, he could hardly bear to put it down!

If this piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue had not been prepared for Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan, he might have consumed the rest of it as well.

Watching his father swallow the whale glue, Dugu Xin asked excitedly, "Father, how was it? I told you I was right!"

"It is indeed true. It has an effect on me as well, though it is not very pronounced. This whale glue truly is invaluable!" Dugu Bo said with emotion.

Night had fallen, with stars decorating the sky beneath a bright moon. After everyone had finished dinner in the Reception Hall, Dugu Bo took out that piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

He tore off a larger piece and handed it to Dugu Yao, then gave a slightly smaller piece to Dugu Yan. "Yao'er, since you have the Nine Nether Poison Scripture to suppress its effects, you should absorb the larger piece!"

"As for Yanyan, your Nine Nether Poison Scripture has yet to reach the beginner stage, so you should absorb the smaller piece. With cold water as well, absorbing this piece of whale glue will not be a problem!"

Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan immediately accepted the whale glue without hesitation and stuffed it into their mouths. Their bodies visibly flushed, especially their faces, which turned red all the way to their ears.

Their entire faces looked as though they were about to steam.

The two came to the barrels of cold water Dugu Bo had prepared for them and jumped straight in. A refreshing sensation washed over them, slightly suppressing the unbearable heat that felt like they were being burned alive.

The piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue I took was only a small piece torn from it, yet its effects are already this intense. It's somewhat difficult for me to absorb at my current level!

Fortunately, there's cold water, and I also have the Nine Nether Poison Scripture. Otherwise... Dugu Yao thought as he immediately began circulating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture to suppress its special effects.

As for Dugu Yan, although she did not have the Nine Nether Poison Scripture to suppress it, the piece she had consumed was smaller. Coupled with the cold water, it could still suppress the effects, and she could endure it by gritting her teeth.

"Father, it's only a small piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and they have ice water to help them. They should be fine, right?" Dugu Xin asked worriedly as he watched the two, whose skin had turned crimson, in the cold-water barrels.

After being highly refined, this whale glue was incredibly potent!

Especially in terms of its aphrodisiac and kidney-strengthening effects. The Thousand-Year Whale Glue they had taken at noon had given the two of them a firsthand understanding of that in their room!

"They'll be fine." Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back and instructed, "Xiao'er, until they have fully absorbed the whale glue, change the cold water every ten minutes. Understand?"

"Leave it to me, Father," Dugu Xin said. He then changed the water every ten minutes. By the time he changed it for the third time—

Dugu Yao had nearly finished refining the whale glue within his body. Having learned from last time, he did not embarrass himself this time.

Looking at Dugu Yan beside him, he murmured, "Yanyan's Nine Nether Poison Scripture hasn't reached the beginner stage, but she took less, and there's cold water suppressing it. She should be almost done refining it now."

When it was time to change the water for the fourth time, Dugu Yao climbed straight out of the barrel and returned to Dugu Bo and the others, watching Dugu Yan, who was still refining the whale glue.

Though Dugu Yan was in a barrel of cold water, her forehead was covered in sweat. A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes and climbed out of the barrel.

"How was it, Yanyan?" Dugu Yao stepped forward and asked with concern.

"That feeling... that feeling of being burned alive was truly terrifying! If Grandpa hadn't prepared a barrel of cold water, I don't know what I would have suffered."

Dugu Yan spoke with lingering fear, but she was extremely satisfied with the improvement to her physique after refining the whale glue. The feeling of improvement was exceptionally obvious.

"Yao'er, Yanyan, let me examine your bodies and see whether this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue has caused any negative effects." As Dugu Bo spoke, he began examining them.

After his examination, let alone any negative effects, their bodies were in absurdly good condition. They were brimming with energy, their blood and vitality were abundant, and their bones were strong. Their physiques were completely unlike what people their age should possess!

More than half of this was due to the Immortal Herbs, while the rest was the improvement brought by the whale glue!

Looking at the two, who seemed like little suns, Dugu Bo said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. Your bodies are in excellent condition. It hasn't caused any negative effects."

"Go back and sleep now. The day after tomorrow, Grandpa will take you back to Sunset Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts!"

The two nodded, then left the Reception Hall and returned to their rooms. Dugu Yao circulated the Nine Nether Poison Scripture to refine Soul Power, while Dugu Yan attempted to reach the beginner stage of the Nine Nether Poison Scripture.

A day was no more than the rising and setting of the sun. On the second day, morning, noon, and night, Dugu Yao and Dugu Yao took the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue three times.

At last, they completely absorbed it.

Dugu Yao's physical strength reached an astonishing level. Absorbing a Soul Ring close to ten thousand years in age would be no problem at all.

Although Dugu Yan was not as monstrous as Dugu Yao, her improvement was likewise considerable. The absorption limit for her first Soul Ring had reached around 3,000 years, and her physical strength could withstand the pressure of Dugu Bo at level 34!

On the morning of the third day, just as Dongxi rose, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan out of Dugu Manor.

Although Star Dou Great Forest had numerous Spirit Beasts and a great variety of species, Sunset Forest was closer to them. Moreover, the Soul Rings Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan needed were not particularly high in age.

They could find suitable Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest as well, so there was no need to travel farther than necessary to Star Dou Great Forest.
