Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 261: Ambergris

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Ambergris

The clothes felt extremely light and cool on the body, not thick or stifling at all.

Li Wenli’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"I finally struck it rich!!!"

"What?" Bai Junjun didn’t catch on.

"I think what I’m wearing is the anciently lost Leviathan Skin."

"Leviathan Skin???" Even Bai Junjun, unaccustomed as she was,, widened her eyes.

In Beiming there is a fish, its name is Leviathan. The Leviathan is so huge, its size unknown, but said to be thousands of miles.

This is the ancient interpretation of Leviathan.

Besides its size, its skin withstands water and fire, resists blades and spears, warms in winter and cools in summer, and can adjust to cover the body in any shape or size.

It is said that a piece of Leviathan Skin could be worth a whole country.

They had never imagined that they would encounter such a legendary item here.

Its value was certainly no less than that of the Vermilion Demon.

Bai Junjun’s mouth watered; her clothes were also very tattered and she equally needed the Leviathan Skin.

Moreover, below the Silver Box, there was a golden box.

Bai Junjun fixed her gaze on this golden box and, as she anxiously opened it, indeed inside were a grey Leviathan Skin outfit and shoes.

Bai Junjun, seeing this, almost wished to laugh uproariously to the sky.

This must have been made by the City Lord’s people, one set each for men and women, but for whom it was intended remained unknown.

Perhaps he thought to wear it himself and take another set for his wife when he died.

But now, these two outfits had fallen into their hands.

Fortunately, although the fashion of ancient clothes wasn’t identical, it was not far off, and after they put them on, except for the grey color which wasn’t very attractive, there wasn’t much incongruity.

Most importantly, the fabric really was skin-friendly; wearing it felt not only cool and silky, but it also carried a faint scent of ambergris.

"Actually, this Leviathan might just be a great whale, whose skin has thermal expansion and contraction properties, and who knows what the ancients used to make it so durable and high-temperature resistant—indeed impressive, but not as magical as it seems,"

Li Wenli rationally analyzed the origin of Leviathan Skin.

Bai Junjun didn’t care about the rationale, merely focusing intently on the scent: "This fragrance is quite pleasant."

Seeing Bai Junjun sniffing left and right at the clothes, appearing very satisfied, Li Wenli smiled knowingly.

"That’s ambergris."

"Oh wow," she had often heard of ambergris’s name, but had never smelled it before.

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but take a few more sniffs.

Just as she was engrossed in appreciating the ancients’ romantic sentiment, Li Wenli started rummaging around again and soon actually found many grey-white lumps on a wooden shelf.

"These are ambergris itself."

Bai junjun walked over curiously, only to see those pieces of greyish-white material, some like stones, some like bones, bizarrely shaped.

Upon sniffing closer, those things had a mysterious, ancient faint floral scent; indescribable but quite mesmerizing.

"It’s said to be the Emperor’s Fragrance; it must be pretty valuable, right?"

Li Wenli nodded, "As I know, ambergris doesn’t occur in the Central Plains. The Royal Family mostly receives it as tribute from other nations; it’s extremely hard for ordinary people to come by."

"Okay, let’s take it," Bai Junjun decisively nodded. However, before she could store the ambergris in the Space, Li Wenli slowly began.

"Actually, its raw form is the indigestible animal bones enwrapped by stomach fluids and excreted by sperm whales. It soaks in the sea for years before finally drifting to land or people go to extreme lengths to hunt whales and extract it; thus, it’s highly valued because of such difficulties."

Bai Junjun paused, realizing that this was, in fact, an excretion from a sperm whale’s stomach...
