As Dai Weisi continued refining the energy from the whale glue, his bones, muscles, blood circulation, and meridians were all significantly enhanced. His bones grew sturdier, his muscles more defined, his blood surged with vitality, and his meridians expanded noticeably—all showing substantial improvements from before.
After about two hours, Dai Weisi's body finally calmed down, and he slowly regained full consciousness. Exhaling a long breath, he stood up and began throwing a few punches and kicks, instantly noticing how remarkably improved his physical condition was.
"No wonder it's ten-thousand-year whale glue. It really has strengthened my physique tremendously. My strength, speed, and resilience have all improved quite a bit compared to before."
Dai Weisi couldn't hide his excitement. He was confident that, without even using his martial soul, he could now beat his past self into the ground with ease!
Although ten-thousand-year whale glue didn't directly boost soul power, having a powerful body laid a solid foundation for cultivation.
He slowly sat down cross-legged again and began silently practicing the family's meditation technique. To his surprise, his soul power cultivation speed had also increased.
"This is great! My cultivation speed has improved once more! Alright then, in half a month, I'll break through to Level 40 and officially become a quasi–Soul Ancestor!"
With that, Dai Weisi sat down on the bed, leaned against the wall, and continued silently cultivating until dawn.
"Huh? His Highness the Crown Prince didn't call for a maid to accompany him tonight? Could the ten-thousand-year whale glue really have such powerful effects on the body?"
Outside the room, Li Hu hadn't left. Instead, he silently kept watch, observing Dai Weisi's chambers. He had always been skeptical about Dai Weisi's claim that whale glue could enhance physical constitution.
This old man has eaten so many pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue—if it really had such benefits, wouldn't I know?
But now that the entire night had passed and Dai Weisi hadn't summoned a single maid, even Li Hu began to doubt himself.
"Could it be that this stuff really is that effective?" he muttered as he pulled out a piece of whale glue from his portable soul tool and popped it into his mouth.
In no time at all, he felt his entire body heating up. A fiery energy surged through him, making his body unbearably hot and bloated, to the point where he felt he'd explode if he endured it a second longer!
"Aaah! No, no, I can't take it! I can't hold it in! I've got to go find Widow Zhang next door and release some of this heat!" Shouting in a panic, Li Hu bolted out of the prince's estate in a hurry.
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During these days, Dai Weisi put a pause on producing black gunpowder and focused entirely on his cultivation.
Thanks to his daily intake of ten-thousand-year whale glue, his body became increasingly powerful. His massive abs and sculpted chest muscles were enough to make countless girls drool.
More importantly, as his physical fitness improved, Dai Weisi's cultivation speed also increased day by day.
Originally, his goal had been to break through Level 40 within two weeks. But in just one week, his soul power had already soared past that threshold.
Feeling the overwhelming, surging power like crashing waves within his body, Dai Weisi couldn't help but feel smug.
"Oh, my foolish little brother… this time, I definitely won't lose to you! Since you've already claimed that pair of twin sisters, then Zhu Zhuqing is mine! As the saying goes, 'A brother's wife is fair game!' Heh heh heh!"
The brother-in-law hooking up with the sister-in-law… Damn, just thinking about it is exciting! Dai Weisi had only seen this kind of plot in adult films before.
Dai Weisi stood shirtless in front of the mirror, muttering to himself, "I wonder if I can absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring now?"
After breaking through to level 40 in spirit power, he should, by all accounts, be rushing to obtain his fourth spirit ring. But Dai Weisi had greater ambitions—he wanted his fourth spirit ring to be at the ten-thousand-year level, just like Tang San's.
This wasn't just wishful thinking. After consuming so much ten-thousand-year whale glue, Dai Weisi's physique had long since surpassed that of ordinary people. His body was already capable of withstanding the pressure brought on by a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
As for the spiritual backlash caused by the death of a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, Dai Weisi wasn't worried either. As a transmigrator, his soul had perfectly merged with the body's original, granting him spiritual strength nearly twice that of a normal person.
Ordinary Spirit Masters at the Soul Ancestor level could only handle spirit rings up to five thousand years, but with his superior mental strength, Dai Weisi believed that absorbing a ring just over ten thousand years should be no problem.
"I have to give it a try! If I can't even compete with that cheat Tang San, how am I supposed to lead the Star Luo Empire to glory?"
Having made up his mind, he wasn't in a rush to obtain the ring just yet. His body could still absorb more of the whale glue's nutrients. He'd further temper himself, and only then would he seek out his fourth spirit ring.
After all, for a Spirit Master, cultivation could continue even without gaining a new ring—it simply wouldn't manifest in combat power right away.
With that decision made, Dai Weisi took out several dozen pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue from his soul tool ring. This soul ring was a gift from his father after his martial soul had awakened, and it contained thirty cubic meters of storage space.
In just a single week, Li Hu had already swept up all the ten-thousand-year whale glue in Star Luo City, along with most of the thousand-year stock as well.
Because of this, many nobles were left cursing aloud: "Who the hell's kidneys are that weak, buying up all the ten-thousand-year whale glue?! Can your kidneys even handle eating that much?!"
Eventually, a rumor even began circulating that the Emperor of Star Luo had… kidney problems, and was stockpiling the whale glue to better "please" the harem. The gossip sent Dai Weisi's father into a furious rage. Ah yes, truly a father and son duo—working hand in hand.
With the whale glue in hand, Dai Weisi immediately set off for the Zhu family estate. Whether it was Zhu Zhuyun or Zhu Zhuqing, to be honest, their talents weren't anything extraordinary.
Compared to common Spirit Masters, they were indeed gifted. But next to monsters like the Shrek Seven Devils, they were just average.
Take Zhu Zhuqing, for instance. Though she was one of the Seven Devils, she actually had the lowest innate talent among them—her starting spirit power was only level 7.
Let alone Tang San, that walking cheat—even compared to Ning Rongrong or Dai Mubai, she fell short. Now that Dai Weisi had transmigrated, of course, he intended to change that and improve the sisters' talents.
Before long, Dai Weisi arrived by carriage at the Zhu estate. The servants at the gate didn't even dare to stop him. It could be said plainly: when it came to the Zhu residence, he came and went as he pleased.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun was enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, while her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, was seated cross-legged in the nearby pavilion, meditating and cultivating.
Since she was seven years younger than Zhu Zhuyun, she could only close that gap by throwing herself into cultivation.
Watching her little sister work so hard, Zhu Zhuyun's lips curled ever so slightly, her smile tinged with both ridicule and a hint of pride.
She was proud of her sister's unyielding spirit, yet there was also an edge of mockery—after all, Zhu Zhuyun had an exceptional boyfriend. No matter how hard Zhu Zhuqing worked, she could never defeat them.
The thought of Dai Weisi made Zhu Zhuyun's smile brighten even more. Perhaps this was what it felt like to be the favored one in a relationship.
"Zhuyun! I came to play!"
Seeing his fiancée in the garden, Dai Weisi greeted her with a smile, then turned to look at the diligently cultivating Zhu Zhuqing and said cheerfully, "And perfect—Zhuqing is here too. I brought a special gift for both of you today!"
"Vis!"
Seeing Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun's face lit up with joy. She had just been thinking about him, and now here he was—faster than even a whisper of gossip!
