Chapter 128: The Cloud-Brewed Bamboo Ripens
After a year, and with the Shi family's tireless investment, the new Shrek Academy was finally completed.
Although Shrek Academy currently has no students, it has a large number of faculty and staff.
More than 3,500 people stood in the square in front of the teaching building, a huge crowd.
It looks very lively.
"After a year of hard work, and with the full support of the Shi family, Shrek Academy has finally been completed. From today onwards, this is our home!..." Flander stood on the platform and spoke passionately to the crowd in front of him through his soul tool amplification.
Shi Lin wasn't particularly interested in Flander's opening ceremony, so while pondering the next steps in refining Gu worms, he pretended to listen to Flander's words.
After a lengthy and complex speech lasting half an hour, Flander finally concluded his speech at the opening ceremony.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Shi Zhen, the head of the Shi family, to the stage to give a speech." Flander then invited Shi Zhen up to begin speaking.
After all, Shrek Academy was built with the sponsorship of the Shi family, so it was normal for Shi Zhen to speak on stage.
Shi Zhen's speech ended half an hour later. There was no other way; in a formal setting, he would be laughed at if he didn't say more.
After watching Shi Zhen finish his speech, Flander immediately took the megaphone and continued speaking.
"Today, sponsored by the Shi family, we've invited chefs from some of the best restaurants in Notting City to cook a celebratory feast for us. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria; there's plenty of meat and wine tonight," Flander announced loudly to the faculty and staff.
"Long live the students! Long live the Shi family!" All the faculty and staff stood up excitedly and shouted.
Some of the teachers were Soul Masters recruited by Flander from other places, who were responsible for teaching training classes, while others were literate people who were mainly responsible for academic classes.
As for the other employees, they are all farmers from nearby villages, and in previous years these people would not see a single piece of meat all year round.
They were able to eat as much as they wanted today, which was incredibly wonderful for them.
"Let's go!" Flander led the group to the canteen in a grand procession, ready to eat.
Just then, Lin Yu suddenly appeared beside Shi Lin.
"Young Master, when I checked the Cloud Brewing Bamboo this morning, I discovered that some of the Cloud Brewing Bamboo have already surpassed one hundred years of cultivation." Lin Yu whispered to Shi Lin after coming to his side.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Shi Lin's eyes lit up. Originally, Shi Lin thought it would take Cloud Brewing Bamboo another ten months to break through the hundred-year cultivation level.
Only eight months have passed, and it has already broken through a century of cultivation.
"It's like this, young master, there are too many small plant Gu in the botanical garden, and the concentration of plant Qi in the botanical garden is very high, which is why the Cloud Brewing Bamboo grows so fast," Lin Yu explained to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin nodded in agreement. Nowadays, there are more small plant Gu than wine Gu in the botanical garden, so it is normal that the plant energy is strong.
This time, not only are the Cloud Brewing Bamboos ripe, but the Heavenly Crystal Lotuses are also ripe!
Three months ago, the Heavenly Crystal Lotus matured, and Shi Lin gained a batch of Heavenly Crystal Lotus Gu. The soul power crystals produced by these Heavenly Crystal Lotus Gu were very helpful for improving cultivation.
Shi Lin's strength improved so quickly because he absorbed the soul power crystal.
At this moment, Flander was having a feast with the teachers from the academy, and Shi Lin had no appetite. He wished he could go to the botanical garden immediately and refine those mutated Cloud Brewing Bamboos into a top-grade wine gu.
Shi Lin glanced at Flander, who was drinking and eating meat, shook his head helplessly, pondered for a moment, and then stood up and walked towards Flander.
"Dean, I still have some things to do at the botanical garden, so I'll head back now." Shi Lin bowed to Flander and then asked for leave.
"Go back, be careful!" Flander was already drunk and slurred his words to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin bowed to each of the other teachers before leaving Shrek Academy with Lin Yu and Shi An.
Shi Lin's heart had already flown back to the Shi family manor.
As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, they will be staying at Shrek Academy tonight, so they won't be going back to the Shi Family Manor with Shi Lin.
Shi Lin and Lin Yu sat in the carriage, while Shi An drove at breakneck speed toward the manor.
...
The carriage quickly returned to the Shi family manor.
After Shi Lin jumped off the carriage, he ignored everything and took Lin Yu directly to the botanical garden.
After entering the botanical garden, Shi Lin came to the Cloud Brewing Bamboo. At this time, the bamboo nodes of the Cloud Brewing Bamboo had been fused together, and the whole Cloud Brewing Bamboo was a seamless whole, looking very round and smooth.
According to the nature of Cloud Brewing Bamboo, this is a sign that it has broken through a century of cultivation.
"Sister Lin Yu, come and see if Cloud Brewing Bamboo has broken through the hundred-year cultivation level." Shi Lin summoned Lin Yu over.
Lin Yu smiled and shook her head at the unusually anxious Shi Lin, then came to Shi Lin's side and examined the age of the Cloud Brewing Bamboo.
After a careful inspection, Lin Yu nodded.
"Young Master, it's confirmed. These Cloud Brewing Bamboos have all broken through to the hundred-year cultivation level." Lin Yu said seriously to Shi Lin.
"That's good. Sister Lin Yu, call Brother An over, and the three of us will collect these bamboos together and then cultivate some more." Shi Lin said to Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master!" Lin Yu bowed respectfully to Shi Lin, and then went to find Shi An.
After watching Lin Yu leave the botanical garden, Shi Lin began to process the Cloud Brewing Bamboo.
Take out a large wine jar, and then use a chisel to make a hole in the bottom of the Cloud Brewing Bamboo, so that the wine inside the Cloud Brewing Bamboo can flow out naturally and directly into the wine jar.
There are more than a dozen Cloud Brewing Bamboo plants here. These bamboos are all soul beasts with a hundred years of cultivation, so Shi Lin has some trouble dealing with them.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Lin had finished less than half of the task when Shi An arrived and handed the matter over to him.
Two hours later, all the wine in the thirteen Cloud Brewing Bamboo plants had been extracted, and the bamboo plants had been processed.
The bamboo leaves and branches were stored away to be used to refine small herbal gu.
The bamboo stalk is broken down into sections for cultivating seedlings.
Although the mutated Cloud Brewing Bamboo can also produce bamboo shoots, the cycle is too long, taking more than a hundred years before bamboo shoots will grow.
Therefore, the only way to expand the bamboo population of the mutant Cloud Brewing Bamboo is through embryo culture.
"Brother An, Sister Lin Yu, you two process these embryos here first. I'm going to refine the Gu worms." Shi Lin said to Lin Yu and Shi An, and then put all the wine produced by Cloud Brewing Bamboo into his soul tool.
"Yes, young master!" Lin Yu and Shi An bowed to Shi Lin at the same time.
Shi Lin waved his hand, then walked towards his Gu worm chamber without hesitation.
After returning to the secret chamber, Shi Lin took out several wine jars filled with insect soul beasts from his soul tool.
When Shi Lin last refined the Small Grass and Wood Gu, he had already used up all the insect-type soul beasts he had.
So later, they sent people to capture some soul beast insects in the Star Dou Great Forest.
These days, money talks.
As long as a price is offered, we can buy them all.
"Let's begin. I'm destined to be a workaholic," Shi Lin sighed, somewhat helplessly.
Next, Shi Lin began to refine the top-grade wine gu.
This time, a total of thirteen mutated Cloud Brewing Bamboos broke through a hundred years of cultivation. The wine produced by each Cloud Brewing Bamboo can only be used to refine Gu worms twice.
Therefore, Shi Lin can only refine a maximum of twenty top-grade wine gu this time.
Shi Lin rubbed his hands together, then summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron and began refining Gu worms.
...
An hour and a half later, Shi Lin finally finished the last bit of alcohol.
"Not bad. The materials and techniques are good, and the success rate is quite high. I made eighteen top-grade wine gu in twenty-six attempts!" Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the row of large white worms on the table.
With these top-grade wine gu, the cultivation speed of the Shi family members can be further improved.
After all, the bonus from a top-grade wine gu is much greater than that from a high-grade wine gu!
