Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue (Please Follow and Vote Monthly)

After finishing his afternoon training, Lin Yan took a bath and rested for half an hour before, as usual, beginning his meditation for the first half of the night.

At that moment, Lin Yuhuan suddenly entered his room carrying a large bowl filled with golden gel-like substance.

"Grandma!"

Lin Yan hurriedly stood up and called out. At the same time, his gaze swept over the large bowl in her hands, and he asked curiously, "Grandma, what is this?"

The translucent gelatinous substance in the bowl looked like softened golden crystal. It shone brilliantly and gave off a pleasant fragrance.

Lin Yuhuan placed the bowl before Lin Yan and said, "This is a very rare treasure called Whale Glue. It comes from Demon Whale Soul Beasts in the sea that have cultivated for ten thousand years."

"Demon Whale Soul Beasts are the overlords of the sea. Ten-thousand-year Demon Whales in particular are difficult to kill even for Titled Douluo who personally take action. That is why Whale Glue is so precious. This bowl alone is worth no less than two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"The sect master of our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect heard that you had broken through to rank twenty soul power and were about to obtain a Spirit Ring, so he specially found this treasure for you."

"The sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect? Grandma, is he the man Mother ran away from the marriage with?" Lin Yan blinked and asked curiously.

"Uh..."

Lin Yuhuan nodded helplessly. "Yes, that's right."

"Then the sect master is truly a generous and good man!" Lin Yan said.

If he had been the one left at the altar, he definitely would not have been so magnanimous.

Lin Yuhuan said, "Tomorrow, we will go obtain your Spirit Ring. The sect master's daughter, Ning Tian, will be coming with us as well. The sect master has treated you so well, so you should treat his daughter well too. It would be best if you became friends. She is a support-type Soul Master, so if danger arises, you must protect her properly. Understand?"

Lin Yan's eyes shifted slightly at her words.

Ning Tian?

The owner of the Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul, the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect?

Judging by her age, she should be around two years younger than him. This trip was probably for her to obtain her first Spirit Ring.

"Okay, Grandma!" Lin Yan nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled.

What did that mean?

He was only a Great Soul Master who had not even obtained his second Spirit Ring yet. If it really came down to him protecting her in the Soul Beast Forest, wouldn't they be doomed?

The doubt lingered in Lin Yan's heart for only a moment before he dismissed it. He took it as nothing more than his grandmother's polite remark and failed to catch the deeper meaning in her words.

"By the way, Grandma, what does this Whale Glue do?" Lin Yan pretended not to know and asked.

"Whale Glue is a treasure that strengthens the body. It can make a Soul Master's physique more powerful, reduce impurities, and increase the limit of Spirit Rings a Soul Master can withstand."

"Because of your mutation, your physical strength improves whenever you undergo intense training. For ordinary Soul Masters, the ideal age of a second Spirit Ring is between seven and eight hundred years. After two years of training, your physique has strengthened enough that you can barely absorb a Millennium Spirit Ring."

"Now, with this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, it will no longer be merely possible—you will definitely be able to absorb a Millennium second Spirit Ring!"

Lin Yan was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this.

Two days earlier, Lin Yuhuan had taken him to visit the Spirit Douluo who had examined his body back then.

That Spirit Douluo possessed a special first soul skill that allowed him to carefully observe the inside of the human body. That was why he could determine how old a Spirit Ring someone at their current level could withstand.

His judgment for Lin Yan had been that he could barely absorb a thousand-year Spirit Ring.

At first, the word "barely" had made Lin Yan feel uncertain, because it carried far too much uncertainty.

But with this piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, things were different.

Under Lin Yuhuan's guidance, Lin Yan ate the bowl of Whale Glue.

Whale Glue came from within whales. Once it entered his mouth, it carried a faint fishy smell and the salty taste of seawater.

The Whale Glue melted the moment it entered his mouth. After flowing through his mouth and into his body, a warm current instantly spread throughout him, and then his entire body began to heat up.

Lin Yan immediately sat down cross-legged and began controlling his body as it absorbed the energy brought by the Whale Glue.

At the same time, he sensed a slight fluctuation from his second martial soul. Soon after, the scorching heat in his body slowly began to fade.

In the latter half of the night.

Lin Yan opened his eyes. Before he could carefully sense the changes the Whale Glue had brought to his body, he suddenly caught a pungent odor.

"What's going on? Where is that stink coming from?"

Lin Yan frowned and searched for the source, only to discover that the smell was coming from his own body.

It was as though he had fallen into a filthy ditch. A thin layer of black slime covered his body.

"Ugh, what the hell is this—"

Lin Yan nearly vomited from the smell coming off himself.

"Those are the impurities and filth within your body. The power of the Whale Glue forced them out."

Lin Yuhuan's voice came from nearby.

Lin Yan did not dare delay. He immediately rushed into the bathroom and carefully washed himself from head to toe several times before putting on clothes and walking out.

"I definitely feel much lighter now!"

Lin Yan let out a relieved breath.

"Go to bed early tonight. We will set off tomorrow morning to obtain your Spirit Ring," Lin Yuhuan said.

"Okay, Grandma!" Lin Yan nodded excitedly.

Two years of tireless, grueling cultivation were finally about to bear fruit. He was finally going to obtain his second Spirit Ring. With this Spirit Ring, he would become a genuine Great Soul Master.

And a Great Soul Master whose second Spirit Ring was already at the millennium level!

Early the next morning, Lin Yan got out of bed before dawn.

He wore a neat black training outfit. This kind of clothing was convenient for movement and did not restrict his limbs, making it most suitable for entering the Soul Beast Forest.

Lin Yan stood before the mirror and examined himself.

With his short black hair, bright and lively eyes, handsome and flawless features, and simple yet dashing training outfit, if looks were rated out of ten, even modestly speaking, he could give himself a nine and a half.

After Lin Yan arrived in the dining hall, the old steward immediately had the servants bring out breakfast.

"Young Master, you look quite good today! Did you know Miss Ning Tian from the sect master's family would be coming, so you dressed up especially for her?" A smile appeared on the old steward's aged face as he teased him.

"Of course not. Today is the important day when I set out to obtain my second Spirit Ring, so naturally I have to take it seriously. Besides, I didn't dress up at all. I was simply born handsome."

Lin Yan swallowed a mouthful of meat porridge and spoke indifferently.

By age, Ning Tian was probably only six years old. With the mindset of an adult, he naturally would not have any improper thoughts about a six-year-old little girl!

If he had to speak of thoughts!

He was actually more concerned about Zhang Lexuan.

But Zhang Lexuan was his cousin Bei Bei's child bride. Wouldn't it be too unfair to Cousin Bei Bei if he set his sights on her?

At least before Bei Bei and Tang Ya get together, I can't show any improper intentions toward Sister Lexuan!

Lin Yan thought to himself.

After breakfast, he waited another half hour before the old steward led two adorable little girls to Lin Yan.

One of them had medium-short golden hair that just reached past her chin. She wore a beautiful white princess dress, and her fair, tender skin looked as though water could be squeezed from it. Combined with her exquisite features, she was as adorable as a porcelain doll.

The other little girl looked about the same age as Ning Tian, but unlike Ning Tian, she had an entirely different style. Her hair was a vibrant fiery red, and her bright eyes were fiery red as well.

Although she was still young, perhaps due to her martial soul, her gaze held less of Ning Tian's innocent, romantic, cute, and well-behaved nature, and more of a faint wildness and arrogance.

Clearly, she had to be Wu Feng!
