Chapter 32 The Sisters' Pact to Take Medicine
Upon hearing Dai Youheng's words and seeing the two room cards he had already obtained, the Lan sisters immediately realized they had completely misunderstood and were so ashamed they wanted to disappear into the ground.
Their two pretty faces were as red as ripe apples. Combined with their delicate features and long blue hair, they looked exceptionally charming and adorable.
Unfortunately, Dai Youheng has no time for romance right now. He only wants to become stronger as quickly as possible.
Dai Youheng handed them the room key for the double room and then walked to her own room.
The Lan sisters took the room key, exchanged a glance, and saw the embarrassment and awkwardness in each other's eyes. They both let out a low whimper, and then, like startled rabbits, rushed into their room and slammed the door shut.
Back in his single room, Dai Youheng locked the door and simply used his soul power to set up a small protective barrier.
Then, he couldn't wait to take out two things from his storage ring: the dark, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue and the pale golden Soul Ascension Pill.
He planned to take both of them together tonight. Whale glue had the medicinal power to strengthen the body and cleanse the marrow, while the Soul Ascension Pill purely enhanced soul power. The two not only did not conflict with each other, but complemented each other and promoted each other's growth!
One enhances soul power in terms of "quantity," while the other strengthens the foundation and expands the container in terms of "quality."
The combination of the two, while not as transformative or endowed with special abilities as true celestial herbs, is by no means weak in terms of simply enhancing cultivation and consolidating one's foundation.
He first held the hard, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue in his palm. He circulated his soul power, quickly raising the temperature of his hand.
Under the scorching heat, the originally hard as stone, Wan Nian Whale Glue gradually softened, turning into something like black gummy candy, and emitting a strange, slightly fishy, mellow aroma.
Dai Youheng concentrated his soul power at his fingertips, like the sharpest knife, and cut the softened whale glue into small pieces. Then he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Whale glue wasn't unpleasant to eat; on the contrary, it had a unique sweetness and gelatinous texture. The moment it entered his stomach, Dai Youheng immediately felt a distinct warm current rising in his chest and abdomen—warm and comfortable, not violent.
This heat quickly spread throughout the body, and wherever it passed, the muscles, bones, and meridians felt a slight itch, as if they were being nourished and strengthened.
Without further hesitation, he swallowed several pieces of whale gelatin in succession. When most of the whale gelatin had been swallowed and the warm current within his body had become quite powerful, he quickly put the Soul Ascension Pill into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it. At the same time, he stuffed the last bit of whale gelatin in his hand into his mouth!
"boom--!"
The Soul Ascension Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into an incomparably pure and immense torrent of energy that surged violently through his dantian. Meanwhile, the warm current from the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, which nourished his body and broadened his meridians, also timely flowed throughout his entire body.
The two powerful medicinal forces instantly merged together!
Dai Youheng dared not delay and immediately sat cross-legged, fully activating the technique he had obtained from the mysterious giant hand! This technique was domineering and efficient, and at this moment it was like a highly efficient furnace, frantically refining and guiding the two medicinal powers, making them perfectly merge and accelerating their absorption.
Within his body, his soul power surged and grew stronger at an unprecedented speed. Under the influence of the whale glue, his muscles and bones emitted a subtle hum, like a taut bowstring, becoming more resilient and able to withstand more and stronger impacts of soul power!
The bottleneck of level 39 was instantly broken through under the combined attack of these two powerful medicinal forces and the domineering operation of that technique.
Inside the room, Dai Youheng was surrounded by a faint black mist and golden light spots, his aura rising steadily as he continued his assault on the level 40 threshold!
At this moment, in the double room next door, the blush on the faces of the two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, had not completely faded.
The two sat side by side on the edge of the bed, an awkward yet ambiguous atmosphere still lingering in the air.
"Sister." In the end, it was Lan Luoluo, who had a more lively personality, who spoke first, in a small voice, "Weren't we too embarrassing just now? Brother Youheng didn't mean it that way at all."
Lan Susu covered her still-burning cheeks and sighed, "Yes, we were completely overthinking it. But..."
A complex look appeared in her eyes. "Brother Youheng is really completely different from before."
"Yeah, yeah!" Lan Luoluo immediately perked up, counting on her fingers, "He used to always be around Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Senior Bei Bei, and he seemed... how should I put it? A bit subservient. But now, it seems like he doesn't care about anyone. He ignores Wang Dong, and he dares to directly talk back to Senior Xu Sanshi. I heard from Zhou Sichen that he even dares to talk back to Senior Dai Yueheng!"
Lan Susu nodded in agreement, adding, "And have you noticed that everything he's done since he came back seems to have a strong purpose? Supporting Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin's bet was for the soul bone and gold soul coins; buying that strange whale glue and the Soul Ascension Pill was to increase his strength; even buying that snow lotus was to prepare for absorbing a soul ring beyond his level in the future. All his actions seem to serve the purpose of 'becoming stronger.' That feeling is very calm and mature."
They recalled Dai Youheng's always calm and unwavering gaze, his concise and powerful words, and the occasional aloof and detached air he exuded, as if he were detached from everyone else.
Coupled with his already handsome appearance and the top-tier talent brought by the Evil Shadow Demon Tiger Martial Soul.
The two young girls, just beginning to experience love, found their hearts beating a little faster.
"Sister," Lan Luoluo's voice carried a hint of shyness and uncertainty, "Do you think we might have a bit of a crush on Brother Youheng now?"
Lan Susu didn't answer immediately, but her slightly flushed cheeks and flickering eyes betrayed her thoughts. She softly hummed in acknowledgment.
A brief silence fell over the room. The two sisters had been inseparable since childhood, sharing an extremely close bond and often the same interests. It wasn't surprising that they both developed feelings for the same boy.
After a while, Lan Susu, as the older sister, calmed down first. She took her younger sister's hand and said seriously, "Luo Luo, the current Youheng is indeed very attractive, completely different from before. It's normal for us to have feelings for him."
As she spoke, her tone suddenly became serious, "But we are sisters, the closest of friends. We absolutely cannot let a boy ruin our relationship."
Lan Luoluo nodded vigorously, "Yes, sister, you're right, we'll always be best friends!"
Lan Susu thought for a moment and made a suggestion, "How about we make a pact? We can both try to get closer to Brother Youheng, but each of us should rely on our own abilities. In the end, no matter who Brother Youheng likes more or chooses, the other shouldn't hold a grudge, let alone ruin our sisterly relationship. We should sincerely wish each other well. Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Lan Luoluo immediately agreed, her eyes regaining their sparkle. "It's fair that we each rely on our own abilities! Anyway, no matter what, you'll always be my favorite older sister!"
"You're my dearest little sister too." Lan Susu smiled, extending her little finger, "Pinky promise!"
"Pinky promise!"
Two slender little fingers hooked together, completing a solemn promise between the young girl and her budding love.
With the agreement made, both of them felt much more relaxed. They smiled at each other, and the awkward atmosphere from before vanished.
"Alright, stop overthinking." Lan Susu picked up the small box containing the Soul-Ascending Pill. "Brother Youheng specifically instructed us to take it tonight. We can't waste his good intentions and such a precious pill."
"Hmm." Lan Luoluo also picked up her Soul Ascension Pill, her eyes filled with anticipation. "I wonder how many levels we'll increase after absorbing this pill? Maybe we can go straight to level 30!"
The two said no more, sat cross-legged, adjusted their breathing, and, with anticipation for their improved strength and feelings for the young man that had quietly changed, swallowed the pale golden Soul-Ascending Pill. They quickly immersed themselves in cultivation.
The room gradually returned to calm, with only two subtle yet ever-increasing fluctuations of soul power quietly swirling within.
