Whale Rubber

Biodata

Properties and Effects

• Whale rubber is known for restoring virility, but Tang Shan identifies body strengthening as its more useful effect 6.
• Tang Shan believes hundred-year whale rubber has a modest effect on a Soul Master’s soul-ring absorption limit, while thousand-year whale rubber could help Su Yuntao attempt a thousand-year second ring 6.
• Its aphrodisiac effect makes Su Yuntao reluctant to take it. Tang Shan advises him to endure the effect and exercise rather than use it for its customary purpose 6 10.

Preparation and Use

• Before heating, the family’s whale rubber appears as an irregular black lump. A heated portion turns golden, softens, and gives off a rich aroma 10 14.
• Su Haichao tries a small piece after purchasing it and notices a slight improvement in his physique 10.
• Su Yuntao eats roughly one-tenth of the piece and exercises while it takes effect. His short-term physical performance improves; afterward, his soul power rises from rank thirteen to fourteen. Tang Shan attributes the faster cultivation to surging qi and blood accelerating soul-power circulation 10.
• After a strenuous workout, Tang Shan eats whale rubber and cultivates through its effects. Its energy eases his soreness, repairs minor exercise injuries, strengthens his body, and improves the quality of his soul power. His body absorbs the energy before it can produce the feared “Evil Fire” 13 14.
