"It really works, such a powerful effect."
After absorbing and digesting the whale mucilage, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock. She never expected that the aphrodisiac and yang-strengthening whale mucilage would actually have such a formidable and overbearing effect.
In just that short moment, Xiao Wu felt she had become twice as strong; it was simply like being in a dream.
No, she wouldn't even dare to dream such a dream.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Seeing the expression on Xiao Wu's face, Yu Yan asked her with a smug look, venting a bit of the frustration from being misunderstood earlier.
"No, no, no, you didn't lie to me. I just took it for granted. My mistake."
Having received such benefits, Xiao Wu didn't mind Yu Yan's attitude at all. She was very grateful that Yu Yan had brought her here to share the benefits of the whale mucilage.
"As long as you know. From now on, don't just question my carefully considered decisions, got it?"
At this moment, Yu Yan looked exactly like someone who had gotten a bargain and was still acting smug.
"Fine, fine, fine, no problem."
Xiao Wu cooperatively continued chatting with Yu Yan.
The two didn't chat for long. Having endured the side effects of the whale mucilage, both were somewhat tired. As fatigue set in, they exchanged a few words and headed to their respective rooms.
The next morning, Yu Yan took the five bearer bankbooks he had obtained from the old man and went to the Qian Clan Bank in Vast Sea City to inquire about the gold coins in them.
The five bearer bankbooks contained a total of over forty thousand gold coins.
Yu Yan transferred all the gold coins from the bearer bankbooks into his own account.
Leaving the bank, Yu Yan headed to a shop that sold whale mucilage and spent ten thousand gold coins to buy five pieces of thousand-year whale mucilage.
The five pieces of whale mucilage were: one over a thousand years old, two over two thousand years old, one over three thousand years old, and one over four thousand years old.
Toward Yu Yan, a very young and generous customer, the Shopkeeper of the whale Materials shop was very enthusiastic and politely gifted him several pieces of hundred-year whale mucilage.
The aphrodisiac and yang-strengthening effects of thousand-year whale mucilage were too strong for ordinary people to bear, and Spirit Masters were all physically strong and basically didn't need it. This resulted in a very small market for thousand-year whale mucilage.
Now that someone was willing to buy thousand-year whale mucilage and help clear their inventory, the Shopkeeper was truly happy.
After resting for a few days to adapt to his suddenly strengthened body and fully digesting the residual effects of the whale mucilage, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu consumed whale mucilage again.
After consuming the two pieces of whale mucilage with the lowest age of over a thousand years, the effect this time was not as intense as the first time, but being able to make progress was already a good thing.
Over a month later, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu had finished all the whale mucilage they had purchased, and their strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Yu Yan's current physical constitution was not at all inferior to a Three-Ring Soul Venerable. He knew this clearly because he had paid to invite a Three-Ring Soul Venerable to compete and observe the other's body, leading to this conclusion.
After his body became stronger, Yu Yan could move normally even while wearing the heavy Frost Scale Armor, completely unaffected by its weight. A heavy-armored warrior capable of normal movement is an extremely terrifying existence in battle.
Another advantage of his body becoming stronger was that it allowed Yu Yan to absorb and refine more purple qi from the morning sun every day, significantly increasing his Cultivation speed.
The spirit power enhancement from the whale mucilage, the increased Cultivation speed from a stronger body, and the continuous moonlight essence on full moon nights combined to make Yu Yan's spirit power jump from Rank 13 to Rank 15, and he was about to Breakthrough to Rank 16.
The benefits Xiao Wu received were almost the same as Yu Yan's. Her Spirit Power Level had also reached Rank 16, and her physical constitution had reached the level of a Three-Ring Soul Venerable.
Besides these benefits, after absorbing a large amount of moonlight essence, Xiao Wu was pleasantly surprised to find that the Spirit Beast aura on her body had dissipated quite a bit.
When a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast transforms into a human, they are in a juvenile stage before their Spirit Power Level reaches Rank 60. This is somewhat similar to when a Yao Beast transforms into a human in cultivation novels but still retains some Yao Beast characteristics. At this stage, Spirit Masters at the Spirit Douluo level or above can easily discover their identity.
Only by breaking through Rank 60 and entering the maturity stage can they completely eliminate the remaining Spirit Beast aura and avoid being discovered.
The miraculous moonlight essence energy could actually directly dissipate a portion of the Spirit Beast aura on her body. Compared to the small benefit of increased spirit power, this was what truly made Xiao Wu happy.
As long as she could dissipate the Spirit Beast aura from her body, she could escape the possibility of being discovered, grow stronger in peace, and pursue the chance to become a god.
As for why it turned out like this, Xiao Wu didn't know, just as she didn't know why the aphrodisiac and yang-strengthening whale mucilage could make one stronger.
If Xiao Wu were to ask Yu Yan, Yu Yan, who knew her true identity, might have an answer.
In many cultivation and Xuanhuan Worlds, Yao Beasts, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, would use moonlight to perfectly transform into humans.
It's just that the Douluo World is quite special. In other Worlds, one can still transform back to their original form, but on the Douluo Continent, once a Spirit Beast transforms into a human, they can never change back unless they die.
If the story of Lady White Snake took place on the Douluo Continent, she wouldn't have turned back into her original form and scared her husband to death after drinking realgar on the Double Ninth Festival... "Shopkeeper, do you know where I can get ten-thousand-year whale mucilage?"
Having finished his stock, Yu Yan went to the shop again to buy thousand-year whale mucilage and asked the Shopkeeper, with whom he had gradually become familiar.
Yu Yan, who had bought several more pieces of thousand-year whale mucilage, wanted to get some whale mucilage of ten thousand years or more to take with him before leaving.
Whether he would come to Vast Sea City again in the future was still an unknown. Since he was already here, if he didn't buy a piece of ten-thousand-year whale mucilage to take away, his mind wouldn't be at ease.
"Your boss needs ten-thousand-year whale mucilage?"
Hearing Yu Yan's inquiry, the Shopkeeper looked at him with great surprise, asking back to confirm if he had heard correctly.
"Sigh, my boss said it wasn't easy to come to Vast Sea City once and wanted to buy a piece of whale mucilage of ten thousand years or more for his collection. Since he gave the order, I, as the one doing the work, naturally have to find a way to get it."
Yu Yan, who was already used to pushing excuses onto his non-existent boss, completed a lie in just 0.01 seconds.
"When we first met, I said that ten-thousand-year whale mucilage is not something shops like ours can have. It only appears in auctions."
The Shopkeeper repeated what he had said before.
As for what Yu Yan said about collecting ten-thousand-year whale mucilage, he could also understand it. Those nobles whose brains didn't seem fully developed could be understood no matter what they did.
"I just wanted to ask if there is any whale mucilage of ten thousand years or more for sale in the auctions being held in Vast Sea City recently. I've only been in Vast Sea City for over a month and am not yet familiar with the situation. Shopkeeper, you should know more details than I do, right?"
While speaking, Yu Yan placed ten gold coins on the table and pushed them toward the Shopkeeper.
