In the Douluo II era, the theory of Soul Masters had been greatly improved, and the limit of Soul Rings' absorption age was no longer fixed, but related to physical strength and spiritual power.
Before the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, as long as the physical strength was sufficient, even a thousand-year first ring could be directly absorbed.
Therefore, after knowing the effect of Whale Rubber, Xu Yang had been frugal, using his spare time to earn money to buy it. Now it was still the Douluo I era, and the real effect of Whale Rubber had not been discovered, so the price was not as expensive as in the Douluo II era. A thousand-year Whale Rubber required thousands of Gold Soul Coins.
But it was still not cheap for him. High-quality Whale Rubber also needed dozens or hundreds of Gold Soul Coins.
He bought this one because the quality had declined due to weathering, the appearance was not good, and the customer didn't like it, so he got a bargain. But even so, it cost him thirty Gold Soul Coins, and he still owed the dean twenty Gold Soul Coins for it.
He didn't know the specific age, but the merchant said it was a thousand years old.
Although he didn't know, he still bought it, because he vaguely remembered that this thing could only be produced by whales of more than a thousand years, so there was no possibility of being cheated.
Confirming that the Whale Rubber was still there, he closed the box, picked it up, and left the dormitory.
...
At this moment, inside the orphanage.
"Feng Zhi, this kid you just took in has impure thoughts, probably a lecherous little devil... After returning to the sect, it's better to keep those female disciples away from this kid!"
"Sword Uncle, why do you say that?!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned and looked at Chen Xin in confusion.
"I just used my spiritual power to scan, wanting to see if there were any spies from other forces in this orphanage, but I accidentally scanned the kid who took the things. He said that the things he wanted to pack were actually two pieces of weathered Whale Rubber. At such a young age, he's thinking about these things. What will he be like when he grows up?" Chen Xin explained.
He really didn't intentionally investigate Xu Yang, but as the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, every trip was investigated by spies from various forces. He just wanted to find these spies and delay other forces from knowing the time when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School obtained a genius.
But discovering that Xu Yang was so concerned about Whale Rubber made him feel unhappy, because he hated those who were lewd and teased good women the most, so he told Ning Fengzhi.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xin's words, an unhappy look appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face, and Madam Ning's face was filled with disgust. As a woman, she hated those lewd people far more than men.
Only Gu Rong was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Feng Zhi, you must discipline this child well!"
"I understand, he is still young now, and he needs to be educated to change that dirty thinking..."
Ning Fengzhi's face was ugly. He didn't want the Soul Master world to spread rumors that his disciple Ning Fengzhi had not learned well since he was a child, and started playing with women using Whale Rubber at a young age. Where would he, the dignified Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, put his face!
Just then, Xu Yang walked out with a box in his arms and a bag on his back.
As soon as he came out, he saw Ning Fengzhi with an ugly face and Madam Ning with a disgusted expression, which made him look dumbfounded.
Did these two eat Ouli Ge [Ouli Ge - a Chinese energy bar brand, implying they got a boost of energy]?
They were so happy just now, how could their faces be so ugly after only a few minutes!
...
In just a few breaths, various reasons appeared in Xu Yang's mind. He even thought that the Spirit Hall had suddenly taken action, but he didn't associate it with the fact that he went to get Whale Rubber, causing Ning Fengzhi and the others to misunderstand.
Ning Fengzhi and Madam Ning's eyes were fixed on the box in Xu Yang's arms. Both of them were Soul Saints, and the small wooden box naturally couldn't block their perception. Just a scan with their spiritual power was enough to know what was inside.
"It really is Whale Rubber!"
After confirming what was inside, all the hesitation in their hearts disappeared.
"Xu Yang, can you tell the teacher what's in your box?!"
Ning Fengzhi's face was unsightly, and his tone was very stiff. The original affectionate address of 'Yang'er' was also changed to his real name, 'Xu Yang'.
"Whale Rubber!" Xu Yang answered instinctively, and then saw the angry eyes of his teacher and Madam, and suddenly realized that he might have been perceived by the two when he took the Whale Rubber, causing them to misunderstand. He quickly explained, "Teacher, you may be thinking too much. I have other uses for this Whale Rubber, not for doing that kind of thing!"
It would have been better if he hadn't explained, but the anger in their eyes intensified, and they were even more convinced that this kid had impure thoughts and was a born bad seed.
Especially Madam Ning, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Yang was a genius, she would have slapped him into meat paste right now.
In their hearts, Whale Rubber had no other use than to do that kind of thing. Especially Xu Yang's words showed that he knew that kind of thing very well, which naturally made them think that he was just doing that lewd thing.
Seeing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth. He was misunderstood.
But thinking about it, he understood that in the Douluo Continent world, because of Soul Power, children develop very quickly, and doing that kind of thing doesn't seem impossible.
No, for his pure and flawless, wise and martial image, he must explain it.
"Teacher, Madam, you may have misunderstood!" Xu Yang quickly took out his notebook from his bag and handed it to Ning Fengzhi, explaining, "When I was studying medical theory, I found that aphrodisiac and yang-boosting are just its side effects. Its real function is to improve the physique of Soul Masters and increase the absorption age of Soul Rings.
I originally planned to use Soul Power to refine Whale Rubber after my Spirit Awakening to improve my physical fitness to a certain extent.
If the teacher doesn't believe me, you can watch me refine Whale Rubber and see the effect!"
Ning Fengzhi took the notebook with suspicion and opened it. He was quickly attracted by the contents. The uses of Whale Rubber written on it were reasonable and well-founded, and it seemed to be true...
Fortunately, I studied medicine well before to study how to take Whale Rubber, and thoroughly researched Whale Rubber!
Xu Yang's heart was full of rejoicing. The notebook he gave to Ning Fengzhi was full of content specifically studying Whale Rubber, and there was nothing else.
There wasn't much content inside, but there were also more than a dozen pages, which showed Xu Yang's research on Whale Rubber. It's a pity that there was no actual data to support it, and Xu Yang deduced it based on medical theory.
"Okay, then the teacher will believe you for now. When you return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you will take Whale Rubber and let me see if the contents of this notebook are true?!"
Although Ning Fengzhi felt that the contents of the notebook were reasonable and well-founded, he did not completely believe it, because it was completely speculation and there was no actual data to support it. At the same time, his heart was also full of excitement. If the contents of the notebook were true, then many years later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would reach an unprecedented height.
