Chapter 6: Whale Rubber and Gengjin Stone
Two months later, the caravan stopped in Star Luo City for supplies and rest, only three days' drive from their final destination, Longxing City.
After two months of carriage riding, Liu Yanyang felt completely exhausted. He had never ridden a carriage in his previous life, and while he was somewhat excited, he probably didn't want to ride one in this life. He surveyed the majestic Star Luo City, worthy of being the capital of the Star Luo Empire. While the caravan rested, he wandered around.
His interest gradually waned as he gazed at the streets, which, with their medieval Western European architecture, gradually faded.
He randomly chose a large shop, hoping to find any of the rare treasures mentioned in the "Douluo Treasure Record."
Upon entering, a receptionist approached him and enthusiastically began to explain the products.
After a brief tour, the only thing that interested him was the thousand-year-old whale jelly; everything else seemed ordinary.
Just as he was about to purchase the whale jelly, he was suddenly drawn to a small black stone in the corner.
He walked over, picked it up, and examined it carefully. The dark stone had platinum specks within it. This was the Gengjin Stone.
The text states that the Gengjin Stone is imbued with Gengjin Qi, which is reflected in those platinum specks.
This Gengjin Qi, channeled through special means and integrated into crafted weapons, can make them incredibly sharp and increase their attack power.
Some have even attempted to incorporate it into their Spirits, though the result was a failed attempt, resulting in their Spirits exploding and eventually perishing.
This is precisely what excites Liu Yanyang. He has a solution for incorporating Gengjin Qi into his Spirit. It's like enchanting weapons in online games from a previous life, or simply adding effects.
As long as one's Spirit has the special effect of consuming metal, incorporating Gengjin Qi into it will be a natural progression.
This special effect can only be achieved through the absorption of spirit rings. Among spirit beasts, there are special spirit beasts that can devour the gold element in metal ore for their own use.
The only difficulty is achieving this special effect with 100% certainty. There are only nine spirit rings, so it's impossible to open a blind box and get one all by yourself.
He stroked the Gengjin Stone in his hand and glanced at the price for no apparent reason: 100 Gold Soul Coins.
He knew that few people on Douluo Continent might know about the Gengjin Stone, so to him, it was practically priceless.
Without further ado, he immediately pulled a black card worth 50,000 Gold Soul Coins from his soul storage device and handed it to the salesgirl along with the Gengjin Stone. He then pointed at the thousand-year-old whale glue, indicating that they should be packed together.
The salesgirl, however, was surprised to see the boy actually wanting to buy whale glue. She eyed him suspiciously.
Out of professionalism, she immediately smiled and nodded, indicating understanding. A moment later, she respectfully handed the packaged items and the black card to the boy.
Liu Yanyang, realizing he was being misunderstood, didn't explain. After storing the items in his soul storage device, he walked out of the shop, knowing that explaining this would only make matters worse. He then walked into a restaurant, booked a room, closed the door, and retrieved the whale glue from his soul storage device.
The book states, "Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brains of whales, a type of spirit beast. It has a very nourishing effect on spirit masters, strengthening the body and increasing the endurance of muscles, bones, and meridians. It requires high-intensity burning to soften it before consumption. Millennium whale glue can increase the body's ability to withstand spirit rings by at least 400-500 years."
However, those in the Dou Yi era didn't know this and used it as... well.
His own body had been strengthened once by the Ten Thousand Year Dragon Ganoderma, and now that he was consuming whale glue, at least the first ring would be safe for less than a thousand years.
Liu Yanyang began to get a little excited. Absorbing spirit rings of higher levels had many advantages; it was like one step faster, every step faster.
He quickly walked into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with ice water.
He then walked out and looked at the bowl of whale gelatin on the table, now a soft, dark golden gelatin. He had paid a large sum of money to have a Soul Master burn it with soul power flames. He'd received many strange looks from the Soul Master for this, but he simply dismissed it as a habit of wealthy young masters like Liu Yanyang, and didn't think anything else of it.
He picked up the small bowl and immediately went into the bathroom, gulping down the entire bowl of whale gelatin in one gulp.
"Ugh! Such a strong fishy smell!" The fishy smell of the whale gelatin made Liu Yanyang frown, nearly nauseous and wanting to vomit.
He forced himself to swallow the gelatin, and gradually, the strange fragrance emanated from his mouth and nose, causing him to groan softly.
He felt a strong warmth begin to flow through his limbs.
From a feverish sensation to a burning sensation, Liu Yanyang felt a thick heat coursing through his limbs, and sweat began to pour out of his body.
As time went on, his body began to excrete more than just sweat; a large amount of black substance began to overflow from his pores.
The side effects of the whale glue began to set in. Liu Yanyang felt his body temperature scorching, and his eyes began to turn red. Fortunately, he possessed the memories of two lifetimes, possessed a strong mental strength, and the ice water provided a constant cooling effect.
Although he felt a surge of heat within him, it was manageable. Fortunately, he was only six years old, and his tools were temporarily unavailable.
He could calmly cultivate. After about two hours, the whale glue was completely absorbed.
Sensed by the significant improvement in his physical fitness, Liu Yanyang felt a surge of joy.
However, the odor of the black impurities dampened his good mood, and he immediately began to rinse.
A quarter of an hour later, he dressed and left the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror, he examined his physique: abs were starting to form. Not bad!
Now all he needed to do was find the perfect spirit ring to suit his Spirit. So, Po Yi Clan, here I come...
Three days later, a carriage stopped at Longxing City. Liu Yanyang disembarked, sought out a local driver, and headed for the Po Yi Clan.
Led by the coachman, a fairly magnificent mansion came into view. The gate of this large mansion looked very rough, and there was a word "Po" on the plaque hanging on the gate.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate. At this time, the two strong men guarding the door looked at the carriage and stared at it closely.
Liu Yanyang got off the carriage and saw two sharp eyes staring at him. He couldn't help but sigh that they were worthy of being from the Po clan.
He walked forward, came in front of the two people, bowed his hands and smiled.
"Please inform your clan leader that an old friend is visiting and knows the news of the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product."
A strong man heard this and was about to refute it. How could their clan leader know a child?
But seeing Liu Yanyang's extraordinary temperament and luxurious clothes, he just said wait and hurried into the mansion.
After a while, he saw the man turning back, but he was followed by an old man.
