After obtaining the notes, the newcomer did not rush to disturb Su Yu, instead waiting until early the next morning when the horizon turned a fish-belly white before knocking on Su Yu's door.
Knocking at this hour was to make sure Su Yu was already awake.
Su Yu yawned and opened the door, finding that it was Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Greenlark Douluo.
Upon seeing Su Yu, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes almost popped out of his head.
He looked exactly like Qian Xunji when he was a child.
This was truly heaven blessing Spirit Hall!
"Su Yu, this is the Second Pontiff, Golden Crocodile Douluo."
Greenlark Douluo introduced him.
Su Yu nodded. "Greetings, Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Greenlark."
This address of "Grandpa" indeed shortened the distance between them.
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed out loud.
Qian Daoliu also smiled. "Su Yu, let's go inside and talk in detail, shall we?"
Su Yu gave a hum of assent and stepped aside, letting the three of them walk in.
Su Yu had changed into a gold-and-white brocade robe, and his overall temperament was not just identical to Qian Xunji's, but even surpassed him.
Looking at the Su Yu before him, Qian Daoliu was filled with a myriad of emotions as he retrieved that bound set of notes from his bosom and handed it over.
Su Yu took the slightly yellowed notes and turned the pages to read on his own.
At the very least, these recorded Qian Xunji's cultivation insights, some of his inner thoughts and admonitions, as well as his comprehension of swordsmanship regarding the Angel Holy Sword.
"These are the records of the Former Pope."
"Indeed," Qian Daoliu said with a warm smile. "How is it? Did you benefit immensely?"
"They do indeed record quite a few insights regarding cultivation."
For the cultivation of the Divine Angel martial soul, these records had far more advantages than disadvantages.
"Just in time, the three of us old fellows will take you to acquire your first spirit ring. How does that sound?"
Qian Daoliu had plenty of time on his hands anyway, and taking Su Yu to obtain his first spirit ring would be quite nice; it was a good chance to go out and stretch his limbs.
Ever since Qian Jili died, he had practically shut himself away from the world.
"Why don't we wait a moment, Grandpa Qian? Actually, I possess an untransmitted secret."
Faced with Su Yu's words, all three of them were stunned. What untransmitted secret?
"Speak freely."
Qian Daoliu was curious as to what kind of untransmitted secret it could be. What could remote regions possibly have?
"That is a method to raise the age limit of spirit rings."
Su Yu's words sounded like a bolt from the blue, exploding with a deafening crash in the ears of the three men.
"Raise the spirit ring age limit?"
"This is no small matter."
Qian Daoliu frowned. This was a huge deal; if it truly was a method to raise the age limit of spirit rings, it was a priceless treasure!
Su Yu smiled slightly. "Of course it's true, and it's simply Whale Glue. We just need to use high-temperature boiling to remove the impurities within it. It can achieve a body-tempering effect, greatly increasing the age limit of the first spirit ring we can absorb."
Qian Daoliu was lost in thought. The uses of Whale Glue had been passed down on the continent to this day, yet in Su Yu's hands it could have a body-tempering effect.
Golden Crocodile Douluo suggested, "Big brother, why don't we first take some Whale Glue under a hundred years old and let a disciple of the Angel Lineage test out the effects?"
Qian Daoliu agreed and immediately gave the orders.
Soon, a disciple of the Angel Lineage with fifteen levels of spirit power walked in, and the maidservant following him held a portion of eighty-year-old Whale Glue.
The disciple took the Whale Glue, swallowed it in one gulp, and then sat cross-legged to begin absorption.
At first the disciple felt nothing, but then his face turned flush red and sweat began to pour all over his body. Once the effect ended—
Qian Daoliu was the first to investigate the disciple's condition. With his Peak Douluo cultivation, probing the disciple's status was a breeze. The result, however, was that the hardness of the bones had increased just a little bit, and his physical constitution had indeed obtained a massive enhancement.
"It really works."
Greenlark Douluo was exceptionally pleasantly surprised. A single portion of Whale Glue could improve one's physical constitution—what an explosive piece of news this was. If all Spirit Hall spirit masters consumed Whale Glue before absorbing their first spirit ring, their starting point would be twice that of others.
Thinking of this, Greenlark Douluo looked back at Su Yu, liking him endlessly in his heart.
Qian Daoliu first sent the disciple back, instructing him not to reveal anything to the outside world, before turning his gaze to Su Yu. "Xiaoyu, this matter is indeed of paramount importance—no less than redefining the method of cultivation."
Having lived for over a hundred years, what kind of great storms had he not seen? Even when he lost to Tang Chen back on Sea God Island, he had still remained calm and composed, but today's moment was far more earth-shattering than anything before it.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Spirit Hall's foundation was immensely profound; apart from hundred-year-thousand-year spirit bones and External Spirit Bones, there was basically nothing they lacked.
"I'd like a swordsmanship manual regarding the Angel Holy Sword, as well as a meditation technique."
These two items are crucial for my cultivation of the Divine Angel.
After hearing this, Qian Daoliu also felt that these two items suited the current Su Yu. Since he had already brought them up, they certainly had to be properly satisfied.
"Very good. By the way, I'll also have someone bring over some Whale Glue under a thousand years."
Su Yu nodded. Chiefly, he didn't dare consume thousand-year or ten-thousand-year ones; if he accidentally blew himself up, that would spell trouble.
Qian Daoliu set about making arrangements, ordering someone to bring over the Whale Glue. It was a nine-hundred-year portion of Whale Glue. He then had a fire-attribute spirit master come over to boil it at a high temperature to remove the impurities within. What remained was a translucent piece of Whale Glue, and its size had shrunk considerably.
"Will this do?" the fire-attribute spirit master asked.
"It'll do. You may return," Qian Daoliu said.
The fire-attribute spirit master departed, and Qian Daoliu took the Whale Glue and handed it to Su Yu.
Without a second word, Su Yu ate it directly. It melted in his mouth, and its medicinal potency continuously spread throughout his body.
Su Yu closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to feel the medicinal power of the Whale Glue.
His body began to turn flush red, and a large amount of sweat welled up on his forehead, dripping down.
Seeing this scene, Golden Crocodile Douluo was also exceedingly gratified.
"Xiaoyu is truly a lucky star. Big brother, when do you plan to tell Xiaoyu about that matter? He really looks so much like the Former Pope."
Qian Daoliu had already made his plans and smiled slightly. "Let him discover it himself; it won't be fun if we tell him. In any case, Xiaoyu will find out."
"Aside from this matter, remember to acquire Whale Glue in secret—as much as possible. Under no circumstances should it be made obvious, and apart from us few, do not tell a single soul."
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Greenlark Douluo naturally understood completely.
A short while later, Su Yu finished regulating his breathing, opened his eyes, and stood up.
The three of them probed Su Yu's body. His bones and physical constitution had obtained a tremendous enhancement, far exceeding the effects of absorbing a fifty-year portion of Whale Glue by a very wide margin.
Qian Daoliu spoke up, "How does Xiaoyu feel?"
Su Yu chuckled happily and said, "I feel great. The kind of feeling where I could punch a cow to death with a single strike."
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily. "Xiaoyu certainly knows how to use metaphors, but it's very apt nonetheless."
He was quite interesting when he spoke; a personality like this must be quite liked by young girls.
Seeing that just about enough had been done, Qian Daoliu said, "It's time to go. Since everything is settled, let's head to the Star Dou Great Forest. It's about time we went out for a little stroll."
