Chapter 22: Whale Glue, Xiao Wu, and Radish!
Life at Notting College was more leisurely than I had imagined.
In the morning, students study academic subjects and spirit beast lessons; in the afternoon and evening, they have free time for cultivation.
As self-funded students, Mo Yi and Xiao Wu naturally didn't need to go to Dormitory 7 and experience things like fighting for bunks or being a dormitory head.
Coupled with their innate full soul power and their extravagant lifestyle, their reputation quickly spread throughout the academy.
Many self-proclaimed aristocratic children or commoner students hoping to curry favor with him flocked to him.
But Mo Yi had no interest in these random passersby.
He doesn't have time for any kind of academy social activities.
Therefore, Mo Yi's attitude towards those little brats who came up to him was always very cold.
After several setbacks, no one dared to provoke them anymore.
The basic meditation methods taught at the academy are extremely inefficient.
Mo Yi completed one cycle of circulation and then decisively gave up.
That efficiency was slower than a tortoise crawling.
It is far less effective than the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Mo Yi felt his soul power improving day by day and couldn't help but say, "Tang San, that kid, his character isn't great, but the cultivation techniques he reveals are really amazing."
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Mo Yi had calculated the date perfectly and led Xiao Wu to the blacksmith shop again.
Upon seeing Mo Yi, the blacksmith shop owner immediately rubbed his hands together and came to greet him.
"Young master, the stove you ordered is finished. Please take a look!"
Mo Yi stepped forward and knocked on the half-person-high black iron furnace. The sound was deep and solid, indicating that the workmanship was indeed excellent.
After asking the boss about the ventilation and heat adjustment methods, he put the iron furnace into his soul tool.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper became even more convinced that this was the young master of some powerful family, and quickly pointed to the pile of charcoal in the corner, saying, "Young master, this is all top-quality charcoal, smokeless, and burns fiercely. It's all yours!"
Thanks.
Mo Yi didn't stand on ceremony and took the charcoal away before returning to the academy.
Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sky.
Mo Yi found a sheltered rock wall, set up the iron stove, and lit the charcoal.
"Why are you here warming yourself by the fire so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Xiao Wu squatted by the stove, her hands supporting her chin.
Mo Yi took out two pieces of century-old whale glue from his bracelet and placed them on the iron plate above the furnace.
"Do you remember these things I bought in Soto?"
Xiao Wu nodded: "I remember, you bought a whole bunch. These dark, unappetizing things, can we even eat them?"
Mo Yi used the iron tongs to turn the whale glue over: "This is called whale glue. Ordinary people use it as a tonic for bedroom arts, but in reality, its true function is to strengthen muscles and bones. After a Soul Master refines and consumes it, it can greatly improve their physical fitness. The stronger the physical fitness, the higher the age of the Soul Rings they can withstand."
Xiao Wu's big eyes widened instantly.
Can the age of a spirit ring be increased by eating?
"Who told you that?"
I read it in an old book.
Mo Yi said without changing his expression, "Anyway, we'll know whether it's true or false after we try it."
Since it was Mo Yi's first time doing this, he didn't dare to risk those few pieces of millennium whale glue and only put two pieces of century-old whale glue on.
As the furnace temperature rises, the hard whale glue gradually softens, bubbles appear on the surface, and the color changes from a cloudy black to a translucent milky white, emitting a strange, sweet, fishy smell.
Mo Yi used pliers to take it out and placed it on a clean lotus leaf.
After cooling for a while, the whale gel becomes bouncy and elastic.
"Hey, it's turned into jelly!"
Xiao Wu poked it; it was sticky.
"How are we supposed to eat this?"
"You can eat it directly."
Mo Yi used an iron skewer to pick up the two lumps of refined whale glue, let them cool slightly, and handed one to Xiao Wu. "Want to try some?"
Xiao Wu nodded, opened her little mouth, and took a bite.
"Well……"
The moment it entered my mouth, the thick, gelatinous substance coated my entire mouth, and a faint fishy smell assaulted my nostrils.
Xiao Wu gagged, a trickle of white liquid dribbling from the corner of her mouth, tears welling in her eyes: "It tastes awful..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge surge of heat suddenly burst out from his lower abdomen and quickly flowed to his limbs and bones.
Your muscles, bones, and even meridians become stronger under the influence of this heat.
"It actually works..."
Xiao Wu looked at Mo Yi, a hint of relief in her eyes.
She originally planned to find an opportunity to condense her first spirit ring.
Based on her previous physical condition, her limit was probably around four hundred years.
But now, feeling the surging power within her, she was confident that she could directly condense a five-hundred-year-old soul ring.
the other side.
Mo Yi also felt a leap in his physical condition.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sensed the changes in Mo Yi's body and immediately unsealed a portion of its original power.
Mo Yi's first soul ring's age instantly increased by one hundred years, reaching five hundred years!
Mo Yi clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body multiply, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
If the effects of a hundred-year-old whale glue are already this good, then if it were a thousand-year-old whale glue, it would probably allow him to directly break through to the thousand-year level for his first soul ring.
but……
Mo Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
That originally gentle warmth had somehow turned into a raging, fiery fire in my lower abdomen.
He felt his mouth was dry and his breathing became heavy.
Mo Yi turned to look at Xiao Wu and was taken aback.
Xiao Wu was sitting on the ground, her pretty face flushed red, like a ripe apple.
Those clear, large eyes, now brimming with a slightly watery, dreamy quality, were staring intently at Mo Yi.
The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became romantic.
broken……
Mo Yi's breath hitched.
This was my first time refining whale glue, and I lacked experience, so I failed to completely evaporate the aphrodisiac components in it.
Fortunately, the side effects weren't too severe, and the soul power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill could barely suppress them.
"Cough cough..."
Mo Yi abruptly looked away.
"It's getting late, and the wind is strong in this desolate place. Let's pack up quickly and go back to rest."
"Oh... okay..."
Xiao Wu's voice was soft and gentle, with a touch of alluring charm.
Back in the dorm, the two took cold showers to try and cool down the heat.
But things got worse when the two lay side by side on the bed that had been pushed together.
The temperature inside the blankets soared.
Even a slight, accidental touch will instantly amplify the tingling sensation.
"Brother Tianmeng, help me!"
Mo Yi mentally called for outside help.
"If you ask me, we should just go all the way and take down this silly rabbit."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks and help me out."
"Hehe, here I come!"
A surge of icy mental energy instantly flooded into Mo Yi's mind, forcibly freezing those alluring thoughts.
Mo Yi let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep, completely ignoring Xiao Wu's life or death.
After all, in Mo Yi's opinion, Xiao Wu was, after all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, so she should be fine.
But he overlooked that.
Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soft-boned rabbit!
Although she was able to suppress this restlessness, why did she have to suppress it?
Can't we just enjoy ourselves?
Xiao Wu didn't dare to be too rough, lest she scare him.
After Mo Yi fell asleep, Xiao Wu looked at his profile and felt a strange sense of irritation.
Images from the romance comics I've read these past few days started flooding my mind uncontrollably.
Once evil thoughts arise in one's mind, they grow wildly like weeds.
"It's okay, I'll just have a little bit, no one will find out."
Xiao Wu, like a kitten stealing cream, carefully crawled into the quilt.
in the dark.
A rustling sound arose.
Xiao Wu yawned contentedly and fell asleep in Mo Yi's arms.
Mo Yi, who had fallen asleep, slowly opened his eyes at this moment. He did nothing but sigh helplessly...
