Chapter 13: This Is Bad, Teacher. Junior Brother Has Gone Astray!
During this period, Yun Yuan's understanding of the soul master world deepened significantly. His knowledge of martial soul theory and the soul master world was no longer the same as before his transmigration.
When he first arrived on the Douluo Continent, Yun Yuan had actually felt quite proud. After all, he had read the original work and enthusiastically discussed martial soul theory and the soul master world online.
In his view, his understanding of martial souls couldn't be wrong. As someone with a god's-eye perspective, how could he possibly lose in terms of knowledge to the natives of the Douluo Continent?
But in front of Elder Yin, a true master of theory, and Qian Xunji, the pope with a profound understanding of the soul master world,
Yun Yuan realized he was mistaken. He had greatly underestimated the wisdom of the soul masters of the Douluo Continent.
Over the past month, Yun Yuan had fully integrated himself into his identity as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, rather than maintaining the arrogant mindset of a transmigrator with a god's-eye view.
During this month, the identity of Yun Yuan as the Holy Son had spread throughout Spirit Hall.
From the elders to the younger generation, everyone knew that their Spirit Hall had produced the youngest Holy Son.
To become a Holy Son at the age of just awakening his martial soul was unprecedented.
Because of this, everyone was extremely curious about what kind of heaven-defying genius Yun Yuan was, to have Qian Xunji establish him as Holy Son so quickly.
…
Inside the Holy Son Hall, Spirit City.
Yun Yuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. An aura of sharpness unconsciously radiated from his body.
"One month to solidify the foundation of the spear dao, and I've made some progress in Spear Momentum as well. Not bad."
Yun Yuan's slightly excited voice sounded.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning behind the phrase "a towering building rises from the ground."
This month, he diligently studied the spear dao under Gu Feng, an expert in the third realm of spear dao, reinforcing the previously weak foundation.
After solidifying his foundation, Yun Yuan realized that many problems he had once failed to understand were now gradually becoming clear in his mind.
At this moment, a knock sounded at the palace door.
Hearing it, a smile appeared on Yun Yuan's face. What he had been waiting for had probably arrived.
Not long ago, using his identity as the Holy Son, he had ordered a fire-attributed Spirit Hall soul master to purchase whale rubber and process it according to his instructions.
Now, it was likely the processed whale rubber he needed had arrived.
Walking to the palace door, Yun Yuan opened it with anticipation. But the moment he saw who it was, his expression instantly fell.
"Senior sister, why is it you?"
The visitor was not who he had expected, but his playful and lively senior sister, Bibi Dong.
"Hehe, junior brother, I'm just bored. Come play with me, okay?"
Seeing Yun Yuan, Bibi Dong's face immediately lit up with a smile as she opened her arms, inviting him to play.
But Yun Yuan kept a straight face and firmly shook his head, directly refusing her.
Please, he had no interest in playing childish games with this childish senior sister.
"Come on, junior brother, just play with me one more time, okay?"
Seeing Yun Yuan refuse, Bibi Dong raised one finger and looked at him pleadingly, acting spoiled.
But Yun Yuan's heart was as firm as a rock. There was no way he would be swayed by Bibi Dong.
The next moment,
Yun Yuan simply shut the door, returned to his previous spot, and resumed meditation.
Not long after, another knock sounded on his palace door, pulling Yun Yuan out of his meditative state once again.
Hearing the knock again, Yun Yuan thought it was Bibi Dong causing trouble. He got up and opened the door.
To his surprise, it was the whale rubber he had been eagerly waiting for.
Before him stood a female soul master dressed in red, with a delicate appearance, holding an ornate box.
"Your Highness, Holy Son, the item you requested has been prepared."
With that, she handed the box to Yun Yuan, her gaze toward him somewhat strange.
Inside the box was, of course, the whale rubber processed with flames. What puzzled her was why Yun Yuan, a boy who had just awakened his martial soul, would request such an item.
At this time, whale rubber was still used by soul masters or nobles for intimacy. Its effect of enhancing a soul master's physical constitution had not yet been discovered.
That was why the female soul master found it strange that Yun Yuan would need such a thing.
However, it wouldn't be long before Yun Yuan revealed the true value of whale rubber to the world. When that happened, its worth would rise significantly.
"Mm, you may leave. In the future, every few days, you will process this whale rubber according to my instructions and deliver it to me."
After receiving the box, Yun Yuan gave his instructions and then closed the palace door with a smile, preparing to refine the whale rubber inside.
Not far away, Bibi Dong watched Yun Yuan with curiosity, eager to know what her junior brother was doing.
She turned her gaze toward the departing female soul master and quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Hey, I want to ask you something. What did you just give my junior brother? Why was he so happy?"
Bibi Dong voiced her confusion.
Seeing that Bibi Dong addressed Yun Yuan as her junior brother, the female soul master understood her noble status and quickly replied:
"Your Highness, what I delivered to the Holy Son was whale rubber. As for why he was so happy, I do not know."
She answered honestly, not daring to deceive Bibi Dong.
Hearing that Yun Yuan had obtained whale rubber, Bibi Dong covered her slightly parted lips with her hand.
Whale Rubber? Why would her junior brother want something like that?
Naturally, Bibi Dong knew what whale rubber was—a nourishing substance used by nobles or soul masters for intimacy.
Thinking of this, she didn't bother considering Yun Yuan's true purpose and immediately ran toward the Pope's Palace.
…
This is bad, Teacher. My junior brother has gone astray!
Inside the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji was energetically handling the affairs of Spirit Hall.
At this moment, he was filled with hope for the future. With a disciple like Yun Yuan, who had almost no flaws and was diligent in cultivation, he was extremely satisfied and high-spirited.
But suddenly, he sensed Bibi Dong rushing anxiously toward the palace.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji couldn't help but sigh.
His eldest disciple always panicked at the slightest issue. When would she learn even a fraction of her junior brother's composure?
Calm, steady, confident...
Soon, Bibi Dong hurried into the palace, slightly out of breath from running.
At this moment, Qian Xunji's voice echoed through the hall:
"Dong'er, what happened? Why are you so flustered? I've told you before, you must stay calm when facing matters. Don't panic."
Just as Qian Xunji was about to continue lecturing her, her words shocked him.
"This is bad, Teacher."
"I just saw my junior brother instruct someone to deliver whale rubber to him. Teacher, junior brother has gone astray."
Bibi Dong told Qian Xunji everything she had just witnessed.
"Dong'er, what did you say?!"
After hearing her words, Qian Xunji suddenly stood up from the Pope's throne, his face filled with disbelief.
How could Yun Yuan, his most satisfactory disciple, do such a thing? Moreover, he was still so young—this didn't make sense.
But Qian Xunji didn't think further. He immediately took Bibi Dong with him to find Yun Yuan.
Whether it was true or if Yun Yuan had other intentions, they would find out once they asked.
If it were true, Qian Xunji would have to properly advise his most satisfying disciple.
First, whale rubber was a highly nourishing substance. Yun Yuan was still young, and consuming too much could harm his body.
Second, the most precious cultivation period for a soul master was before the age of thirty. Even if Yun Yuan liked women in the future, he should not indulge excessively, or it would waste his talent.
Meanwhile, inside Yun Yuan's palace,
Yun Yuan had already opened the box and consumed the processed whale rubber.
After swallowing it, a wave of heat quickly rose within his abdomen. A stream of warmth flowed through his body, followed by intense heat spreading throughout him—his skin flushing red as the medicinal power surged through his body.
During the refining process, he circulated his soul power to guide the energy, using its violent power to temper his flesh, meridians, and bones, gradually removing impurities and strengthening his physique.
