As Qin Ming woke up, half an hour later, the others also woke up one after another. When they opened their eyes, each of them had a look of joy and excitement on their faces, because they had never imagined that the whale glue would have such a powerful effect.

They each had a good experience, as this was their first time using whale gel, and therefore the results were the best.

Gu Xuan looked at Yu Tianheng, who was the first to wake up, and asked, "Tianheng, how was the harvest?"

Yu Tianheng's excited expression hadn't faded yet, and upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, he looked at him with gratitude.

He knew he couldn't match Gu Xuan's selflessness, even though they had sworn not to divulge anything without Gu Xuan's permission, not even to their closest clansmen.

But they had only known each other for three days before, and he lacked that kind of perspective.

However, Gu Xuan's trust was not wrong. So far, they have not told anyone else about the uses of whale glue. Everyone in the clan thought that they were in heat.

They were experienced too, and after offering some advice and admonishments, they didn't say anything more.

Yu Tianheng and the others naturally kept their mouths shut, otherwise they would have betrayed Gu Xuan's trust.

Yu Tianheng's face was flushed with excitement as he said, "The whale glue I refined is 2,500 years old. After successfully refining it, I feel that my physical attributes have improved significantly. My strength, explosiveness, endurance, and speed have all been greatly enhanced."

As he spoke, Yu Tianheng's expression became even more excited, and he continued, "My soul power has also increased from level thirty-seven to level thirty-eight. I didn't expect that while this whale glue improved my physical fitness, it also refined the soul power that I hadn't used properly in my previous cultivation, allowing my soul power to advance by one level!"

He explained his situation, and his gaze towards Gu Xuan became even more intense, as if he were looking at a naked young girl, which made Gu Xuan shiver involuntarily.

"Gu Xuan, I won't say much more. We're brothers, it's in my heart!" Yu Tianheng said solemnly.

Gu Xuan nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Our three upper sects are of one mind and share the same blood. It's too formal for us brothers to say such things."

Then Gu Xuan looked at the others, and Oslo excitedly told them about his situation.

His situation was the same as Yu Tianheng's. While his physical fitness improved, his soul power also increased by one level, from level thirty-five to level thirty-six. Taking whale glue for the first time was a rare opportunity for them.

Then the others explained their own situations. In addition to the improvement in physical fitness, everyone's soul power had actually increased by one level, which was something Gu Xuan had not expected. After all, although his soul power had also improved, it had only increased from the middle stage of level 33 to the late stage.

In the past month, Gu Xuan's soul power broke through from the early stage of level 33 to the middle stage. Now, after consuming a piece of 5,000-year-old whale glue, he has only broken through a small level.

However, thinking of the benefits Gu Xuan had when he first took whale glue, he felt relieved.

The effect of taking whale gelatin is best the first time, and the effect will gradually decrease afterward. Basically, taking whale gelatin later can only improve physical fitness, but cannot improve soul power level.

Furthermore, it's not true that you can keep taking whale gelatin to improve your physical condition. Everything has its limits. Before you've fully refined and absorbed the medicinal effects of the whale gelatin you've taken, taking it a second time would just be a waste, and the effect would be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's collection over the years, it would be enough to at least supply Gu Xuan, if not feed him. But Gu Xuan only broke through to level 30 at the age of twelve.

It's not that Gu Xuan was too weak, but rather that whale glue can't be consumed continuously. Moreover, Gu Xuan didn't spend much time cultivating his soul power in the first six years, perhaps similar to Tang San in the original story.

Because there is so much for him to learn, some might ask why he doesn't cultivate soul power first? After all, soul power is the foundation of a soul master, and soul masters only cultivate quickly when they are young; the speed decreases as they grow older.

Gu Xuan agreed with this point, but he didn't just need to cultivate soul power; he also needed to plan for the future, as his future enemy was the gods.

What's the use of cultivating fast now? At most, you'll only reach the title of Title Douluo, and maybe before you even reach that level, others will have already become gods.

The reason I studied pharmacology was to have a better chance of defeating Dugu Bo when I met him. After all, if you don't have the ability, even if you have some background, you're still a useless person no matter how much you brag.

In the original novel, Tang San survived only because he was able to detoxify himself and was a master of poisons, after being captured by Dugu Bo. He eventually met Dugu Bo.

Moreover, even if he wasted some cultivation time earlier, as long as he can obtain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the immortal herbs in the plot will be enough for him to surpass them instantly with his current cultivation level.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, Gu Xuan's choice offers the best value.

Of course, there is another prerequisite: Gu Xuan's plan must succeed, otherwise it's all just empty talk.

As things stand, everything is proceeding according to Gu Xuan's plan and has not exceeded expectations.

Those who consumed the whale gelatin have also seen a significant improvement. Yu Tianheng has advanced from level 37 to level 38, and Oslo has advanced from level 35 to level 36.

Stone Mill's soul power increased from level 36 to level 37, Graphite's from level 35 to level 36, Wind Control's from level 35 to level 36, and Ye Lingling's from level 33 to level 34.

The whale glue that Dugu Yan consumed was three thousand years old, and her soul power increased from level thirty-seven to the mid-stage of level thirty-eight, a small level higher than Yu Tianheng.

Everyone was very satisfied with their gains, and their respect and gratitude for Gu Xuan grew even stronger. After more than a month of getting along, they completely accepted Gu Xuan, and even Qin Ming had to look at Gu Xuan with new respect.

Seeing that everyone had finished absorbing the essence, Gu Xuan said, "You all smell of sweat now. You expelled a lot of impurities from your bodies when you absorbed the whale gel. Go take a shower now."

Oslo didn't mind, after all, he always smelled of sweat during training.

Feeling his own improvement, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain, since this whale glue is so powerful, if we absorb it a few more times, wouldn't we be able to break through to the Soul Master level in no time?"

Gu Xuan covered his face upon hearing this, somewhat speechless, but still explained, "You were probably too excited and went crazy just now. If something this good were true, would I still be only level 33 by now?"

"While whale gelatin is good, the reason you're seeing such noticeable results is because it's the first time you've absorbed it. Subsequent absorption won't be as effective."

Gu Xuan then explained his insights to everyone, and they nodded thoughtfully in response. It seemed that Oslo's whimsical method was indeed unworkable.

Gu Xuan then continued, "I suggest you take it once a month, and each time you take a thousand-year-old whale glue. Of course, if you have the ability to obtain whale glue of even higher age, that will be even more effective."

"If you keep at it and combine it with my training methods, it's not impossible for your fourth spirit ring to break through to six thousand years or even higher."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, everyone, including Qin Ming, was extremely excited. How could they let go of such an opportunity to improve their strength and become stronger? They wished they could live in the training hall every day.

When they eventually absorb their fourth spirit ring, which is a level higher than their current level, they will have a certain advantage in duels between spirit masters of the same level.

Just like Gu Xuan, who was level 33 when he dealt with Yu Tianheng, who was level 37, without any pressure. Even now that Yu Tianheng's soul power has increased by one level, he is not confident that he can defeat Gu Xuan.

This is the benefit of having a strong foundation.
