Chapter 50 The Still Underrated Celestial-Grade Ambergris
Having made thorough preparations, Lin Hao asked again, "Miss Meng, let's change our request! Or, how about I just compensate you for your losses directly?"
Nothing can solve the problem better than before.
"No, I don't need the money!"
Meng Yiran crossed her arms and angrily complained to Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, what kind of friends have you made?"
Dugu Yan looked embarrassed. She was caught between Lin Hao and Meng Yiran, and it was difficult for her to choose between them.
Lin Hao replied, "Of course, if you insist on knowing why I bought it, come to my house with Yan Yan tomorrow, and I'll tell you the answer!"
With that, Lin Hao bid farewell to Prince Xuexing.
Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan to go back on her own and leave with Lin Hao.
Prince Snowstar also bid farewell to the others.
Only Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and the Gai Shilongshe couple remained in the room.
Meng Shu stroked his beard, watching Lin Hao's retreating figure, and remarked with admiration, "This little guy is no ordinary person!"
Meng Yiran scoffed, "Pah, Grandpa, you're making a fool of yourself again. So cold-hearted, I bet he has no friends!"
Meng Shu said firmly, "This time there's absolutely no mistake. Even if we throw him into the Star Dou Great Forest, Grandpa is sure he'll survive. None of the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are as alert as him. Yiran, you must understand that if someone wants to rise above others, the first thing they need to do isn't to become stronger, but to figure out how to survive!"
After leaving the Tiandou Auction House, Lin Hao quickly returned home.
Dugu Bo was responsible for protecting Lin Hao's safety and was assigned to work outside by Lin Hao.
Lin Hao locked the door from the inside, and Dugu Bo lay on the rocking chair in the yard, quietly closing his eyes to rest.
The sound of pounding medicine came from inside the room.
Isn't Dugu Bo curious about the effects of "Dragon's Dew"?
The answer is, of course, curiosity.
Lin Hao is a Soul Master. Dugu Bo is certain that "Dragon's Leak" is indeed helpful for cultivation.
However, despite his curiosity, Dugu Bo was still alone.
He is a man who takes his promises very seriously.
Dugu Bo has a very unique personality.
He felt that besides money, power, beauty, life, and soul power levels, there were other very important things in the world.
For example, love.
For example, freedom.
For example, conscience.
For example, a promise.
Everywhere.
Because he values freedom, he was unwilling to join the Spirit Hall.
Because he valued his conscience, he agreed to become a guest minister of the Heavenly Dou Empire for Prince Xuexing, who had saved him.
Because he valued the promise, he suppressed his immense curiosity and did not peek at how Lin Hao used "Dragon's Dew" in the room.
In addition, Dugu Yan is a poison master.
He was skilled at making poisons.
He was self-taught and devised many poison formulas. He also possessed many pharmacological secrets.
That's why he understood Lin Hao and wisely refrained from peeking at how Lin Hao used "Dragon's Dew".
Even if you're not a drug addict, then tell me, from kings to ordinary folks, who doesn't have a few secrets?
Inside the room, Lin Hao forcefully removed all the amber-like substance from the ambergris, leaving only a hard lump.
The lumps were of unknown origin and did not resemble the residue left by an octopus swallowed by a sperm whale. Holding them in my palm, I could feel a faint warmth.
"This thing doesn't look like an ordinary object!"
It is black. It cannot be infused with soul power, so it is not a soul tool. Its shape is irregular. It is impossible to determine what it is.
Lin Hao had been studying pharmacology for several years, and he vaguely sensed that it was not an ordinary thing.
After storing it in his storage jade ring, Lin Hao put the dragon's saliva incense he had obtained into the medicine cauldron and started a fire to refine it.
Like whale glue, ambergris needs to be melted at high temperatures before it can be consumed.
It is also called "dragon's excrement," the excrement of sperm whales.
Those noble soul masters and nobles would never swallow and refine such filthy things.
Like whale glue, ambergris should not be heated too much, otherwise it can easily burn you.
The seven-colored medicinal liquid inside the cauldron was still shimmering with tiny lights.
Lin Hao raised his hand and lifted the lid of the cauldron, and a cool, warm, and glutinous fragrance instantly filled the room.
The fragrance was so strong that it woke up Dugu Bo in the courtyard.
Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness invigorated.
However, he closed his eyes again and continued to meditate as if nothing had happened.
A restless heart, excited hands.
Despite the temptations in the room, Dugu Bo remained steadfast in his convictions.
Lin Hao was oblivious to the disturbances in the courtyard, focusing intently on the medicinal liquid in the cauldron.
This aroma is unlike the bitterness of ordinary herbs; instead, it's like the sweet scent of morning dew on pine needles, yet it's more invigorating than any spice.
He took the white jade bowl and carefully poured out the medicine. A few strands of seven-colored light still clung to the bowl's surface, and when they landed on his fingertips, they felt slightly cool, unlike the scalding heat of the liquid just removed from the fire.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Hao tilted his head back and drank the medicine.
The moment it entered my mouth, it wasn't the heavy, greasy medicine I had expected. Instead, it felt like swallowing a handful of crushed starlight. The soft warmth slid down my throat and into my stomach, instantly transforming into countless thin streams of heat that rushed up my head along my meridians.
The medicinal power contained in the seven-colored ambergris was even more potent than he had imagined.
He subconsciously sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, but found that the soul power vortex in his body was still stable, without any sign of sudden increase.
Just as he had experienced with ambergris before, even the celestial grade ambergris did not help his soul power level.
But the next second, a slight tremor suddenly came from the depths of his mind.
The tremor was not painful, but rather like the tingling sensation of spring rain falling on withered wood. Countless warm rays of light gathered between his brows and slowly seeped into the very essence of his soul.
Lin Hao could clearly "see" that his soul was originally like a piece of glass covered with a thin layer of dust, but now those light threads were wiping away the dust little by little, making the halo of his soul brighter and brighter.
The mental fatigue and stagnation left over from past cultivation gradually melted away under the warm light, and even the minor internal injuries to the soul sustained during previous battles with soul beasts slowly healed under the nourishment of this power.
The divine ambergris can actually repair the soul!
He tried to project his mental energy outwards.
This time, the range of perception suddenly expanded.
Not only can it clearly capture the rhythm of Dugu Bo's breathing as he lies in the rocking chair in the courtyard, but it can even "see" the subtle traces of the toxins flowing through Dugu Bo's body. Even the grass seeds that accidentally got on his cuffs can appear clearly in the mental world.
Even more astonishingly, the soul energy particles floating in the air were no longer blurry specks of light in his soul perception, but he could distinguish the properties of each individual particle.
The gentleness of water, the scorching heat of fire, and the weight of earth—you can even "hear" the faint humming sound they make when they collide.
Lin Hao was utterly shocked.
Historically, no one has ever recorded any experience of consuming ambergris. Nor did anyone know what made this rare and precious ambergris so special.
Lin Hao originally thought that, like the finest ambergris, it could only increase his mental strength.
Unexpectedly, it can repair the soul and even grant it the "mustard seed" ability of the Purple Demon Eye. This ability encompasses microscopic insight and can even see through the essence of the world, including the true form of soul beasts.
