Chapter 139: The Power of Reverse Refinement
Shi Lin sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed, trying to calm himself down and adjust his state of mind. He needed to focus on improving his condition, as he needed to make the most of every moment to refine the small herb and wood gu.
Just then, little Du Ming struggled to come to the front yard from the back, carrying a bundle of golden sorghum stalks, and dragged them to Shi Lin.
"Young Master, Brother An said this might be useful to you, so I brought it over for you." Du Ming handed the sorghum stalks to Shi Lin as if presenting a treasure.
Seeing Du Ming's obedient appearance, Shi Lin smiled gently and reached out to touch Du Ming's hair.
"You've worked hard. Go and rest over there. You don't need to carry this stuff. You're too young to do these kinds of chores." Shi Lin ruffled Du Ming's hair and then handed him a few pieces of candy.
Shi Lin is only eight years old, and it seems that Du Ming will be six years old soon, but it seems that he has not yet awakened his martial soul.
Although Du Ming's cultivation talent is still unknown, he is kind-hearted and has great potential for development.
Moreover, Du Yunqing is getting old and will entrust Du Ming to his care in the future.
They naturally resemble the people of Shijiazhuang.
Shi An probably thought that the Crimson Sorghum was of very high quality and could be used to refine Gu worms, which is why he asked Du Ming to bring some back for him to see.
Shi An guessed correctly; this stuff was indeed a good material for refining Gu worms.
After setting the sorghum stalks aside, Shi Lin collected a large patch of pine needles in the yard. The materials produced by this pine tree could be used to brew wine, which meant that the pine tree was of very high quality.
Pine needles and sorghum stalks are both excellent materials for refining small herb gu, and the small herb gu refined from them should basically be of the highest quality.
Although the small herbal gu being refined this time was for urgent use, Shi Lin still decided to refine it carefully to ensure its quality.
After all, the small grass and wood gu is not a one-time use item; it can be reused in the future.
Shi Lin sat on the ground and began preparing to refine the Gu worms.
He directly used his soul power to create spatial blades, frantically cutting through the sorghum stalks and pine needles.
A dozen minutes later, all the sorghum stalks and pine needles had turned into pieces.
After the materials were prepared, Shi Lin summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron and added the crushed sorghum stalks and pine needles to the cauldron in the correct proportions.
Then he took out another insect-like soul beast and threw it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
After inputting his soul power, a dozen minutes later, a top-grade small herb Gu appeared in Shi Lin's hand.
"Not bad, the craftsmanship is quite good, and the quality of the Gu worms produced is also good." Shi Lin took the top-grade small herb Gu he had just refined out of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, examined it carefully, and said with great satisfaction.
Just then, Shi Lin suddenly remembered the exclusive skill of the Divine Wood King Cauldron that he had just obtained.
Reverse Refinement!
The most perfect Gu formula can be obtained by decomposing Gu worms.
Although this little herbal gu is of decent quality, it has to be sacrificed so that Shi Lin can refine even higher quality herbal gu in the future.
Shi Lin placed the small herb Gu back into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, then took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and poured the soul power in his body into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
"Soul skill! Reverse Refinement!"
Shi Lin gave a soft shout, and the next second, the soul power he had channeled into the Divine Wood King Cauldron transformed into a green energy cloud, which quickly enveloped the top-grade small herb and wood Gu.
Immediately afterwards, the little grass and wood gu lay at the bottom of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, its body melting little by little, finally turning into a green light spot the size of a pinhole.
The point of light circled once inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron before plunging into Shi Lin's brow.
As the light entered Shi Lin's brow, a recipe for refining Gu worms appeared out of thin air in Shi Lin's mind.
[Gu Formula: Small Herb Gu]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Ingredients: 1 pound of ten-year-old grass leaves, 1 pound of thirty-year-old tree leaves, 3 ounces of black soil, 1 ounce of clear water, and 1 worm-like soul beast]
"I didn't expect that refining Gu worms would have such strict requirements for materials." Shi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the contents of the Gu formula.
The ingredient ratios in the Gu formula appear to be very strict.
However, Shi Lin only has sorghum stalks and pine needles at hand, so he has to make do with what he has.
As for black soil, clear water, and worm-like soul beasts, Shi Lin has them all and can use them directly.
Shi Lin also wanted to try to see what the difference was between the Gu worms refined using the Gu formula and those refined normally.
Next, Shi Lin cleaned up the Divine Wood King Cauldron and then began preparing the materials for the supreme-grade herb and wood gu formula.
A few minutes later, Shi Lin weighed all the materials and began to refine the top-grade herb and wood gu.
As all the materials were added to the Divine Wood Cauldron in turn, Shi Lin once again infused it with soul power.
Whether it was because the Gu formula was correct or not, Shi Lin consumed one-third less soul power than usual when refining the Gu worms this time!
This already excited Shi Lin greatly, as it would significantly increase his speed in refining Gu worms.
Ten minutes later, a small, emerald-green plant-like Gu appeared inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Previously, the top-grade herb and wood gu that Shi Lin refined were all greenish-blue and bloated, making them look less energetic.
However, this top-grade little herb gu is different. It is emerald green all over and has a well-proportioned body. It looks like it is not the same species as the previous top-grade little herb gu.
Although it looks much better, the specific effects are still unclear and need to be tested.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Lin went to the sorghum field and extracted a wisp of plant energy from the small plant gu. This wisp of plant energy was much more mellow than that produced by other top-grade small plant gu.
Moreover, the amount of plant energy it produces is half again as much as other small plant Gu!
Shi Lin never expected that the Gu worms refined according to the best Gu formula would be so effective!
It not only improved the quality of the Gu worms, but also increased their production!
"That's wonderful! This Gu formula has been a huge help to me. It looks like I'll have to replace all the small plant Gu in the botanical garden after I get back to the Shi family." Shi Lin excitedly held up the Divine Wood King Cauldron and said loudly.
Just then, Shi An returned to the courtyard.
"Young Master, the herbal energy released by these small herbal Gu has been completely consumed, and the mature sorghum has been collected, but it hasn't been threshed and sorted yet," Shi An reported to Shi Lin.
"We have enough materials, no need to prepare any more. Brother An, you can rest for a while. I still have a batch of small herb Gu to refine in a bit," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi An.
"Understood, young master!" Shi An nodded, then sat down to begin cultivating.
Next, Shi Lin devoted himself entirely to refining the Gu worms.
Now that he has some free time, he'll refine more Gu worms and store them away.
Looking at Shi Lin, Shi An thought for a moment, then sat in the courtyard and picked all the sorghum that had just been harvested, then put it into bags to keep for planting back in Notting City.
