Chapter 37 Whale Glue
After leaving the Pope's Palace, Chen Yao parted ways with Bibi Dong and went into his room.
Now that he had obtained such a terrifying second soul skill, Chen Yao suddenly felt that his character might still be salvageable, and he couldn't wait to start cultivating.
Moreover, the process of absorbing immortal herbs was very risky. Given Chen Yao's cowardly nature, he would only dare to act if his cultivation level was at least similar to Tang San's when he absorbed immortal herbs.
That is, the Soul Venerable realm.
With a goal in mind, Chen Yao locked his front door without saying a word in front of Bibi Dong and began cultivating impatiently.
...
Three days later, Chen Yao opened the door and walked out of the room with a dark face.
Good heavens, he had been cultivating diligently for three days, but there was not a single movement in his body, and his soul power hadn't even twitched!
At this rate of cultivation, it would be years before he could become a Soul Venerable!
By then, who knows what kind of ghost Bibi Dong would be in, and who knows if she would still be able to help him obtain immortal herbs.
"No, I have to think of something!"
Chen Yao gritted his teeth, glanced at the dim sky, and activated his first soul skill, instantly merging with the surrounding night. He
then bypassed the guards and arrived at Bibi Dong's manor, knocking on her door.
"Teacher, is there something you forgot?"
A voice came from inside. Chen Yao immediately became alert upon hearing this. Had Qian Xunji just been here?
He quickly looked around, his eyes filled with tension.
However, seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief and then said to the door.
"Dong'er, open the door. It's His Holiness the Pope."
Inside, Bibi Dong, who was about to open the door, was stunned upon hearing this. Then her face darkened, and she yanked the doorknob open, glaring at Chen Yao outside, gritting her teeth.
"You're getting bolder and bolder, even daring to joke about your teacher!"
Chen Yao casually picked at his ear
upon hearing this. Bibi Dong saw no respect for the Spirit Hall or the Pope in him whatsoever. She truly didn't know how the Spirit Hall had ever recruited this rebellious individual.
It was only because Chen Yao's strength was currently low that he addressed him as "Your Holiness the Pope." If he had reached the level of a Title Douluo, he probably would have dared to call the Pope "Little Ji"!
Chen Yao ignored Bibi Dong's reprimand, simply waving his hand and saying,
"Alright, I came to see you because I have important business. Come in and talk."
With that, Chen Yao closed the door, grabbed Bibi Dong's arm, and walked into the room.
He acted as if he were the master of the house.
Bibi Dong was somewhat annoyed by this, but she didn't say much.
Reaching the sofa, Chen Yao sat down abruptly, took a breath, and then said...
"Have you received the reward His Holiness the Pope promised you?"
"This is the important matter you speak of? That's my reward! Don't even think about getting anything funny!"
Bibi Dong had already guessed that Chen Yao wouldn't have anything serious to ask for, and assumed that Chen Yao had been alone for a few days and was getting restless, wanting to bother her.
Although she showed her disdain, she didn't really resist, which is why she didn't dwell on Chen Yao's offense to the Pope outside the door earlier.
However, Bibi Dong didn't expect that Chen Yao wasn't after her, but rather her reward, which was even more hateful than the former, and she refused outright.
"Why are you so adamant? Although the Spirit Hall's treasury should contain quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, with your aptitude, you shouldn't even be interested, right?"
Chen Yao wondered why Bibi Dong was so furious.
"Hmph! No matter what, those are my rewards, they have nothing to do with you. Besides, with your strength, trying to absorb those soul bones in the treasure vault is tantamount to courting death. If
you want to die, find a quiet place to go and don't drag Xiao Gang down with you!"
Bibi Dong realized that she had lost her composure and quickly explained to cover up her embarrassment.
"Who said I wanted a soul bone? I want something that can help me increase my soul power. Go check the treasure vault for me."
Chen Yao said.
"Increase soul power?"
Bibi Dong looked Chen Yao up and down. Lately, Chen Yao had indeed been obsessed, frequently going into seclusion to cultivate.
Unfortunately, although his martial soul was unique, his aptitude was truly underwhelming.
Bibi Dong thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I've actually been to that treasure vault more than once. It mostly contains soul bones and some precious artifacts from the continent, or soul tools. There's nothing that can increase soul power.
Even if there were, they wouldn't be kept; they'd already been used up. After all, those things are incredibly precious. Are you just going to let them mold in the treasure vault?"
Hearing this, Chen Yao frowned. Was there really no other way? Did he have to cultivate step by step?
But soon, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Yao, and his frown relaxed.
Currently, in the Douluo Continent, apart from immortal herbs, there were indeed no external objects that could increase soul power, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be in the future!
Ten thousand years after Tang San became a god, the people of the continent discovered other uses for whale glue, which was originally just a drug for nobles to enhance their pleasure. It
was extremely beneficial to Soul Masters.
Although it couldn't directly increase Soul Power, it could strengthen the body and improve aptitude.
Perhaps this thing could help him improve his current situation?
Chen Yao's request wasn't high; he just wanted to reach level 30 as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao excitedly asked Bibi Dong,
"Is there whale glue in the treasure vault?"
Bibi Dong was taken aback.
"Yes, there is... but..."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong looked Chen Yao up and down, finally stopping at his crotch, her beautiful eyes filled with suspicion.
Seeing that a misunderstanding was about to occur, Chen Yao quickly explained for the sake of his reputation.
"Don't overthink it. I don't need any tonics. Don't forget who was lying half-dead in the tent the other day!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face flushed red, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
However, she also agreed with Chen Yao's words; with this beast's abilities, there was no need for any supplements.
"Then what do you need whale glue for?"
Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
"Would you believe me if I said whale glue could improve my aptitude?"
"Ha, do you think I would believe that? You're just grasping at straws!"
Bibi Dong sneered.
What a joke! If whale glue had such a function, would it only be used as an aphrodisiac for those disgusting nobles?
It would have been looted by the Soul Master forces long ago!
Bibi Dong scoffed at Chen Yao's statement.
"Fine, don't believe me then. Just get me some whale glue from the treasury, the older the better. I believe that with the Spirit Hall's strength, it's at least ten thousand years old, right?"
Chen Yao didn't want to argue with Bibi Dong any further and repeatedly instructed her.
