Whale Gum Tempering, Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night

[System, steal the other party's Mystic Tiger Bloodline.]

Li Daotian silently gave the order.

[Ding, successfully stole this person's Mystic Tiger Bloodline. You will possess the Mystic Tiger Bloodline.]

[The host is blessed by Protagonist Qi. The Mystic Tiger Bloodline will awaken and develop within your body.]

[The other party has lost the Mystic Tiger Bloodline. His vitality and blood are depleted, and he will fall seriously ill. His bodily functions are currently declining, and he is beginning to collapse from exhaustion.]

The System's voice sounded.

A faint smile curled up at the corners of Li Daotian's lips.

He looked toward the big man.

Thud.

As expected, the big man could no longer hold on and dropped to his knees. His entire body trembled slightly, while cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, the companions beside him hurried over to check on him.

Panting, the big man said in a trembling voice, "I don't know what's going on... I suddenly feel weak all over. Hurry and take me to the infirmary. I might be sick!"

Several lackeys immediately lifted the big man and rushed toward the infirmary.

Li Daotian also sensed some kind of special Bloodline awakening within him. He needed to return to his dormitory first, lest he expose anything.

He quickly ran toward his dormitory.

After entering, Li Daotian discovered that his entire body was beginning to heat up.

Within his small frame, his Bloodline throbbed.

"Damn it, this is a little hot!"

Li Daotian immediately locked the door and stripped off all his clothes.

His body was flushed red and scorching hot.

His veins stood out clearly.

Li Daotian endured the pain and forced himself to adapt to the change.

Only an hour later did Li Daotian's body gradually return to normal.

The Mystic Tiger Bloodline within him had awakened. His body had become sturdier and could now contain even greater power.

This Bloodline had a powerful strengthening effect on the physical body.

It could be said to be highly useful to Soul Masters.

Its downside was that immortal herbs and spiritual medicine were needed to stabilize the Bloodline.

Knock, knock, knock!

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Young Master, are you in there?"

Yu Xiaogang's concerned voice came from outside.

"I'm here."

Li Daotian answered, quickly put on his clothes, and opened the door.

Outside, Yu Xiaogang held an exquisite wooden box in his hands.

"Young Master, I found the Whale Gum."

Yu Xiaogang said.

"That was pretty quick!"

"How old is it?"

Li Daotian asked curiously.

"Three-thousand-year Whale Gum."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he opened the box. Inside was a golden, translucent substance that resembled a piece of yellow crystal.

"Good stuff!"

Li Daotian looked at it, and his eyes briefly burned with desire.

He had just awakened the Mystic Tiger Bloodline and needed tonic medicine. Yu Xiaogang's gift had arrived at exactly the right time.

"Young Master, this item's medicinal properties are quite potent, and it can also strengthen one's virility. You..."

Yu Xiaogang said with some concern.

"It's fine. This Young Master's body can handle it!"

Li Daotian waved a hand, his expression calm.

Then he ordered, "Gangzi, melt the Whale Gum. I'll take it now."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly nodded. "All right."

As he spoke, he took out some heating tools from his Soul Tool and began warming the Whale Gum.

Li Daotian waited patiently.

A moment later, a rich medicinal fragrance spread through the room.

"Young Master, it can be consumed now."

Yu Xiaogang said.

Li Daotian stepped forward, looked at the golden gelatinous substance, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into his mouth.

It did not taste particularly good, but it was not unpleasant either.

Li Daotian swallowed it mouthful after mouthful.

As the Whale Gum entered his body, the starving Mystic Tiger Bloodline seemed to sense something. It continuously absorbed the demonic power within the Whale Gum, further strengthening Li Daotian's physique.

"Young Master, slow down. First, we should see whether the Whale Gum has any unusual effects on you."

Yu Xiaogang said worriedly.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Li Daotian waved his hand, remaining calm.

Before long, he had consumed the entire piece of Whale Gum, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

After swallowing the entire piece this time, not only did he not feel as though his body would explode, but with the support of the Mystic Tiger Bloodline, he absorbed it all without wasting even the slightest bit.

This showed that his physical body had become far stronger than before.

"Young Master, you're all right?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Li Daotian in surprise.

"What could possibly happen to me? The medicinal power of this little Whale Gum is nothing much."

Li Daotian flexed his arm. He appeared perfectly normal.

"As long as you're fine, Young Master, I'm relieved."

Yu Xiaogang let out a breath of relief.

Although he did not know why Li Daotian was like this, it was enough that the Young Master was unharmed.

"Gangzi, keep finding Whale Gum for me. The older, the better."

Li Daotian instructed.

Since three-thousand-year Whale Gum had no side effects on his body, he wanted to challenge five-thousand-year Whale Gum, or even ten-thousand-year Whale Gum.

"This servant understands. I will definitely find it for you, Young Master."

Yu Xiaogang nodded gently.

After speaking, he seemed to remember something. He took a belt from his robes. Twenty-four gemstones were embedded in it, making it look exceptionally exquisite.

"Young Master, this is an offering from this servant. Please accept it."

Yu Xiaogang said sincerely.

"This is?"

Li Daotian had already thought of something, but he was not entirely certain.

This should have been a Soul Tool, one Yu Xiaogang had originally intended to give Tang San.

"This is a Soul Tool that can store items. This servant has no use for it, so it is perfect for your use, Young Master."

Yu Xiaogang explained.

Li Daotian nodded lightly and accepted it.

After examining it, he asked, "Does this Soul Tool have a name?"

"No."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly.

"Fine, then let's call it Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night."

Li Daotian said.

"A good name."

Yu Xiaogang knew that the belt had twenty-four gemstones, so the name suited it perfectly.

Li Daotian fastened the belt around his waist. After looking at himself, he appeared even more refined.

"Young Master, with this belt, your bearing has become even more outstanding."

Yu Xiaogang exclaimed.

"Gangzi, since when did you learn to flatter people?"

Li Daotian smiled.

Yu Xiaogang explained, "Young Master, I'm telling the truth."

He truly felt that in just a few days, Li Daotian's aura had changed once again.

He had become more handsome and robust.

"All right, stop flattering me."

"Go back. Find Whale Gum properly for me. Once my physique is stronger, I'll go obtain my First Soul Ring."

Li Daotian waved his hand.

"Your Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, Young Master. We absolutely cannot be careless with the First Soul Ring. I'll go back and study it carefully."

Yu Xiaogang nodded heavily, then took his leave.

After he left, Li Daotian locked the door.

Taking off his clothes, he examined the changes in his body.

As expected, with the Mystic Tiger Bloodline and the medicinal effects of the Whale Gum working together,

his physique had improved by several degrees, and the lines of his muscles had become noticeably more defined.

"Very good. At this rate, my body will definitely be much stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters!"

"I should be able to withstand a Soul Ring that is several hundred years old now, right?"

Li Daotian said excitedly.

He had gained a great deal today, and he was very dissatisfied.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he decided to go to bed and get some proper sleep.

As for the big man, he did not take the matter to heart.
