Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

He immediately blurted out, "Young Master Lin suddenly revealed this... Could there be some hidden secret about this whale glue?"

"Your judgment is truly excellent."

Lin Quan's lips curled slightly, but he quickly suppressed his smile, his expression turning serious.

"However—before I begin, I must say this: what I am about to say is only for the four of us to hear."

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu nodded vigorously, and the old poison master also nodded in agreement.

Lin Quan then slowly spoke:

"When people mention whale glue, their first thought is of a rare aphrodisiac secretly kept by nobles..."

"But that's just a side effect of excessive blood and qi flowing out."

"Its true power lies in tempering muscles and bones, invigorating blood and energy, and expanding meridians!"

"While it cannot endlessly strengthen the physique, it is more than enough to help people withstand the backlash of high-level soul rings."

"This piece of whale glue was obtained by us after we slew a 50,000-year-old whale-shaped soul beast."

Before he finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, and crimson lightning suddenly erupted from his palm.

With a crackling sound, the clump of whale glue was engulfed in the lightning flames.

After several dozen breaths, the whale glue changed from hard to tough, releasing a sweet, fishy, ​​and warm fragrance.

It then melted into a golden, trembling gel, as smooth and translucent as honey jelly.

Swah——

Lin Quan lightly traced a line with his fingertip, and the gold-plated adhesive cracked open, dividing it into two equal parts.

"Eldest sister, second sister, divide and swallow this, then refine it immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two clumps of gold glue landed steadily in the palms of the two sisters like arrows released from a bow.

The two exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, tilted their heads back and put the food in their mouths—

It's like chewing on jelly—crisp and easy.

The aroma is enticing, but the taste is surprisingly strong!

The pungent, fishy smell was like a tidal wave crashing over my head, causing my throat to tighten instinctively and almost making me vomit.

But they gritted their teeth and forced the churning acid back into their stomachs, chewing and swallowing quickly and forcefully.

Before the last sip was even finished, the medicine's effects had already taken hold—

The Zhu sisters' cheeks were flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their necks, as if flames were dancing beneath their skin.

"Um……"

A soft moan suddenly escaped Zhu Zhuyun's throat, and her body trembled slightly.

The latent potency of the whale glue could no longer be contained and finally burst forth from the ground.

Seeing the two swaying their hips, their breath hot, their eyes hazy,

The old poisoner didn't even lift his eyelids, tossing out a sentence, "This old man will find you matching soul beasts," before his figure had already darted a hundred paces away.

Lin Quan gazed at the scene before him, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But looking at their flushed ears, slightly panting breaths, and fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of their clothes,

He didn't speak again, only nodded to Zhu Zhuqing:

"Zhuqing, you stay here to protect the Dharma; I'll go patrol the surrounding area for the old poison master."

As soon as the words faded, the person leaped into the shadows of the forest.

puff-

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, shaking her head and sighing.

His gaze shifted to his two older sisters, his tone filled with helplessness:

"Hey, eldest sister, second sister, looking like this...aren't you afraid of going berserk?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu exchanged a bitter smile.

While enduring the metallic taste and heavy sensation in his mouth, he stuffed the last small piece of gold glue into his mouth.

Her body was still swaying slightly uncontrollably, and her voice was hoarse.

"Who would want this? It's all because of this thing...it's too domineering!"

After a long while, when the last mouthful of whale gelatin slid into his stomach,

Their skin was flushed red, as if dyed with cinnabar, and a damp, moist look appeared at the corners of their eyes.

His breathing was heavy, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.

Zhu Zhuqing dared not be negligent. With a thought, the space within the mirror suddenly opened.

Two wooden barrels appeared out of thin air—

In the blink of an eye, the bucket was filled with icy water, with fine silver frost floating on top.

Without saying a word, she grabbed Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu's arms, swung them around, and threw them into the wooden tub like two fallen leaves.

"Quickly refine the whale glue!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, the two sisters held their breath and focused their minds into their bodies.

Although this place was deep within the Star Dou Forest, where the bloody winds and low growls of thousand-year-old soul beasts occasionally swept through the woods, the entire forest instantly fell silent as Zhu Zhuqing's aura quietly spread out. Not to mention thousand-year-old soul beasts, even ten-thousand-year-old ones would detour far away; even if a hundred-thousand-year-old being appeared, she would treat it as an ordinary passerby, without any fear.

The medicinal power of the whale gelatin surged like boiling water, instantly cleansing the meridians. The pores of the two sisters opened, and wisps of grayish-black turbidity and oily, years-old grime were forced out of their bodies, slowly sliding down the rim of the tub.

At the same time, they clearly felt as if their limbs and bones were being tempered by a raging fire, their muscles and bones crackling slightly, their meridians widening and becoming stronger inch by inch—even their fingertips felt warm and swollen. Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, protecting them while observing them with her eyes downcast. Seeing that the two were breathing more and more steadily and deeply, the corners of her mouth silently turned up.

Over there, Lin Quan and the old poisoner had already quietly dispersed, searching for soul beasts that matched the sisters at the edge of the dense forest.

Suddenly, Lin Quan stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the shadows beneath the trees ahead.

"Shadow Leopards—one male and one cub. The older one is around 30,000 years old, and the younger one is over 9,000 years old; they are a perfect match."

Before he could finish speaking, the old poisoner narrowed his eyes and swept over, then raised an eyebrow and grinned: "What a coincidence, just right."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Before the words had even faded, the pair of shadow leopards pounced fiercely—treating the two as prey, they transformed into two streaks of dark light, tearing through the shadows in the dim forest, aiming straight for their throats!

"snort!"

In the blink of an eye, the old poison master uttered a cold shout, and four soul rings on his body suddenly rose up!

Awooo—!

A dragon's roar exploded, and a coiled, venomous dragon phantom erupted from his palm, its scales and claws menacing. He flicked his sleeves, and a silent, bluish-gray mist spread, curling and blackening the grass and leaves in its wake.

The two shadow leopards ran ten paces away, their legs gave way, and they collapsed forward, their throats twitching, their pupils dilating, unable to even utter a mournful cry.

"Tsk tsk... Your 'Bone-Corroding Mist' technique is still the most efficient." Lin Quan shook his head and chuckled, bending down to pick up a leopard carcass. "Let's go back to camp!"

He and the old poison master each carried a soul beast, their toes barely touching the ground as they darted back like arrows.

As the two leaped back into the open space, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu finished their training and stood up. The power of the whale glue was fully absorbed into their bodies, their skin was like solidified cream, radiating a soft luster; their waistlines were tighter, their shoulders and backs were straighter, and even their standing posture exuded a sharp and fierce aura. Originally, Zhu Zhuqing was the most bright and dazzling among the three, but now the two sisters seemed to have emerged from their cocoons, their brilliance just beginning to show, and they were in no way inferior.

"Brother Quan! Senior Dugu!"

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, her hair still damp with moisture, her voice clear and bright.

"Just hunted soul beasts." Lin Quan casually tossed them aside, and the Shadow Leopard crashed heavily onto the muddy ground. "The larger one is 30,000 years old, and the smaller one is over 9,000 years old. They're for my eldest and second eldest sisters."

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyu exchanged a glance, without uttering a word, and with a backhand, they drew their daggers. In a flash of cold light, they were already close to the corpse.

puff!

The blade pierced precisely into the eye socket, reaching deep into the brain.

Swish—swish—

The leopard's already dying body twitched twice, its neck tilted to the side, and then it remained still.

A moment later, a ring of purple tinged with ink and a ring of pure black as night slowly rose from the corpse, suspended in mid-air, and slowly rotated, its halo pulsating.
