Chapter 23 - the Turning Point

and Suotuo City Many Apothecary Shop Owners share the same thoughts.

Of course, many people broke down upon seeing this scene and then, in a fit of rage, sold all their whale glue at rock-bottom prices.

[Video continues...]

[ Ye Hengchuan's words did not deter Yu Xiaogang from his exploration of whale glue.]

[ Yu Xiaogang wanted to conduct multiple rounds of testing precisely to prevent this situation from occurring.]

[" Uncle Ye, don't worry. Think about it. Those nobles who frequently use whale glue use whale glue that's been aged for hundreds or even thousands of years."]

["And as it turned out, nothing unexpected happened to them, which means that whale glue isn't actually as dangerous as you thought."]

[ Yu Xiaogang spoke to comfort Dao.]

Ye Hengchuan was taken aback upon hearing this, but after thinking about it, he realized it was indeed true.

"This whale gelatin is really strange. It can strengthen the Incarnation, but as time goes on, it can threaten the user's life. The solution is simple: just wear down the effects."

["I've been in Thunder Dragon Hall for so many years, and I even traveled the continent with your father back then, but this is the first time I've ever seen such a bizarre thing."]

Ye Hengchuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

[ Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, remained silent; he was deep in thought.]

[Since whale glue aged several decades can be used to strengthen incarnation, there's no reason why it can't be used for hundreds or thousands of years.]

[Based on the circumstances of the pigs' deaths, Yu Xiaogang was basically able to conclude that they died because the effects of the whale gel overwhelmed their bodies.]

Therefore, using whale glue to strengthen incarnation is still a viable approach, but one must find the correct way to use whale glue.

Having clarified this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Ye Hengchuan.

" Uncle Ye, next we'll try processing the whale glue, then feed the processed whale glue to the pigs and see if there are any changes."

"Treat it first? You mean we haven't found the right way to use whale glue?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hengchuan's eyes lit up.

As soon as Yu Xiaogang spoke, he thought of many medicinal herbs that required special processing before use.

[Is it possible that whale glue is also one of those substances that requires special processing?]

["That's right, whale gelatin that's been around for decades can strengthen an incarnation, but gelatin that's been around for hundreds or thousands of years won't do."]

"So next, we can try different methods, such as reducing the dosage, taking it in batches, or combining it with other medicinal herbs."

["They even boil whale gelatin directly in water, dilute it with water, and then consume it."]

"We have enough time; we'll find a suitable solution!"

[ Yu Xiaogang said Dao.]

[So, the pigsty staff started using various methods to process the whale glue before feeding it to the pigs.]

[During this process, Yu Xiaogang also continuously recorded each processing method.]

[All data will be recorded, organized, and then studied.]

[Shortly afterward, Yu Xiaogang extracted a piece of information.]

"Boiling, frying, dry-roasting... whale glue obtained through these processing methods, when fed to pigs, allows them to survive for increasingly longer periods!"

"In other words, the correct way to use whale glue is to heat it!"

Looking at the information he had compiled, Yu Xiaogang smiled.

[Who would have thought that the correct way to use whale gel is so simple?]

Holding the final results, Yu Xiaogang approached Ye Hengchuan and explained everything to him.

Looking at the experimental data Yu Xiaogang had given him, and the results derived from that data, Ye Hengchuan was speechless.

[The information has already explained everything; what more can he say?]

[One can only sigh inwardly, Xiaogang truly lives up to his reputation as Brother Yu's son; even if heaven didn't grant him talent, he still managed to rise to prominence.]

Having determined the true use of whale glue, Ye Hengchuan summoned a fire-attribute Spirit Emperor to assist Yu Xiaogang in completing the final experiment.

[This time, nothing unexpected happened.]

[Watching the fire-attribute Spirit Emperor continuously heat a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue, softening it, and then feeding it to the pig.]

[On the third day, the pig was completely unharmed, and its body had become stronger than ever before, its strength no less than that of the century-old Spirit Beast.]

Upon receiving this result, a huge weight was finally lifted from the hearts of Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan, especially from Yu Xiaogang's perspective.

With the help of whale gel enhancing his physical abilities, he was finally able to acquire a higher-age spirit ring, thus embarking on the Dao path of Heaven-Defying to change his fate.

[However, despite this, Ye Hengchuan was still somewhat uneasy.]

["Current trials are all on pigs; they haven't been tested on humans yet. We need some examples of Immortal Master before I can feel comfortable letting you use whale gel."]

"I believe your father would have thought the same thing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang did not refute it.

[The next day, a Spirit Master whose spirit power had reached level ten and who was preparing to obtain the first spirit ring was brought before Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan.]

"Young man, listen carefully. We're going to ask you to help us complete an experiment."

["If the experiment fails, you probably won't lose much. At worst, I swear on my name, Ye Hengchuan, if anything goes wrong, I'll guarantee you a comfortable life for the rest of your days."]

"And if the experiment succeeds, kid, the benefits you'll receive are unimaginable. I can even personally help you obtain the First Spirit Ring."

"So, are you going to agree to our request?"

[ Ye Hengchuan looked at the Spirit Master in front of him and asked Dao.]

[ Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, was also observing this Spirit Master.]

[Ages sixteen or seventeen, acquiring the First Spirit Ring at this age suggests exceptional talent.]

[Wearing faded clothes with patches, clearly indicating a poor background.]

[For this Spirit Master, the benefits they could gain if their experiment succeeded were truly unimaginable.]

Even if the experiment fails, the other person's future is secured.

I agree.

[The Spirit Master agreed almost without hesitation after hearing Ye Hengchuan's words.]

"Great, by the way, what's your name?"

[" Wang Dachui "]

Nodding in satisfaction, Ye Hengchuan looked at Yu Xiaogang, and the two exchanged a glance, both smiling.

[He led Wang Dachui to the back hall, where the fire-attribute Spirit Emperor processed a piece of whale glue that was about three thousand years old, and then presented it to Wang Dachui.]

[ Wang Dachui swallowed the whale glue without hesitation, ignoring its intense heat, and then looked at Ye Hengchuan.]

["What are you waiting for, Cultivate! Just do what you normally do, and remember to suppress your inner restlessness."]

[Having heard Ye Hengchuan's words, Wang Dachui closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began practicing Spell Cultivator according to his usual Cultivate methods.]

[Not long after, Wang Dachui felt a surge of heat throughout his body, but remembering Ye Hengchuan's words, he forcibly suppressed the impulse within him.]

[After an unknown amount of time, the burning sensation throughout his body subsided, and Wang Dachui finally opened his eyes.]

"How do you feel about your body right now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui subconsciously shifted his body, then wore an incredulous expression.

"My body is so strong!"

"It's good that you're strong; I was just worried you weren't strong enough!"

Ye Hengchuan laughed and walked over to Wang Dachui, personally assessing his physical strength.

[He's completely different from before!]

Having reached this conclusion, Ye Hengchuan looked at Yu Xiaogang with a delighted expression.

Although Yu Xiaogang's expression was much calmer, his clenched fists clearly showed that his excitement was no less than Ye Hengchuan's.
