Chapter 141: Second-Tier Gu Insect! Dual-Flavor Wine Spirit Gu
After returning to his room, Shi Lin sat on his bed and began to ponder.
Now that Du Yunqing and his grandson's affairs have been settled, the Shi family will have a continuous supply of top-grade wine gu in the future. In the Shi family, even ordinary people can become soul masters as long as they are loyal!
Moreover, they can become high-level Soul Masters.
Now, Shi Lin has basically completed his business in Sachi City and can leave at any time. Next, he just needs to wait for Lin Kun to pick him up.
So Shi Lin can get a good rest tonight.
But just as Shi Lin was lying in bed, he suddenly thought of something.
Now that I've broken through level 20, can't I start refining second-tier Gu worms?
Now that I have some free time, I'll study how to refine some Gu worms.
So, Shi Lin went to the table, took out a small notebook, and began to examine the Gu worms in his hand.
Although Shi Lin currently possesses mostly small herb and wood gu worms, this is because the botanical garden has undergone three expansions and contains a great many medicinal herbs.
Although the small grass and wood Gu are the most numerous, the wine Gu is the most important to Shi Lin.
After all, the wine gu affects one's cultivation speed, as well as the quality of the wine in the family, thus impacting the family's profits.
Although Shi Lin refined a large number of wine gu, he did not use his spiritual power on them many times. After all, wine gu are productive gu insects, and whether they are high-grade, medium-grade, or low-grade, they can all be used to brew wine.
Shi Lin was also reluctant to use his spiritual power on the wine gu, so there wasn't much information about it.
However, Shi Lin had experience from his previous life. He knew that advancing the level of the Wine Gu required fusing two different types of Gu worms together, and there was a way to do this, since the book contained detailed records of the "Biography of the Human Ancestor".
Moreover, Shi Lin had a lot of materials at his disposal, enough to refine a large number of wine gu. Shi Lin also wanted to try to refine a second-tier wine gu.
Once Shi Lin acquires a second-tier Gu worm, he will have essentially broken through the barrier to mastering the crafting of second-tier Gu worms.
Shi Lin took out more than a dozen jars of bitter wine and several jars of Yunmeng wine from his soul tool, and took out some ordinary bamboo worms to start refining Gu worms.
Since this is just an experiment, we don't need high-quality Gu worms; ordinary mid-grade or low-grade Gu worms will suffice.
An hour later, Shi Lin had crafted more than a dozen Bitter Wine Gu and Cloud Dream Wine Gu. However, these wine Gu were hastily crafted, and the materials were not top-grade; they were merely materials made for experiments.
After preparing the basic materials, Shi Lin sat on his bed, adjusting his state to prepare for the next step of refining the second-tier Gu worm. After all, this was his first time refining it, and Shi Lin had to give it his all.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin felt that he had recovered to his peak condition, so he prepared to try to refine a second-tier Gu worm.
"Come on, let me try to refine a second-tier wine gu." Shi Lin took a deep breath and then summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Shi Lin threw two mid-grade wine gu into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The two wine gu are not of the same kind, so the two gu worms will not devour each other if they are still thrown into the Divine Wood King Cauldron. The two gu worms have no interest in each other.
Shi Lin took a deep breath, then reached out and placed his hand on the Divine Wood King Cauldron, quietly injecting his soul power into it.
Just a few seconds after the soul power was inputted, the two Gu worms in the Divine Wood King Cauldron suddenly trembled, then pounced on each other and launched a frenzied attack, devouring each other's bodies with all their might.
In an instant, white sap was spilled all over the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The battle lasted less than a minute, and in the end, what remained was the Bitter Wine Gu!
Soon the Bitter Wine Gu devoured the Cloud Dream Wine Gu completely, and then began to devour the juice inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
After consuming all of these things, the Bitter Wine Gu lay at the bottom of the Divine Wood King Cauldron and began to advance.
Before the Bitter Wine Gu could successfully break through, Shi Lin noticed gray spots appearing on its body.
"Oh no, we failed!" Shi Lin frowned slightly and sighed.
As soon as Shi Lin finished speaking, the Bitter Wine Gu inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron had completely turned gray, lying stiffly at the bottom of the cauldron, motionless. It seemed that this wine Gu had failed to advance.
Shi Lin sighed, then took out the corpse of the Gu worm from the Divine Wood King Cauldron and placed it aside.
The corpse of a wine gu can be used as a starter culture for brewing wine of good quality.
Shi Lin thought about it but couldn't come up with a better solution, so he started the second refining process.
...
Early morning.
"It's done! It's done!" Shi Lin exclaimed excitedly.
Shi Lin's excited voice echoed throughout the courtyard.
Du Yunqing and Du Ming, who were already fast asleep, both woke up. As for Shi An, he rushed out of his room and went straight to Shi Lin's room.
"Young Master, what happened?" Shi An asked Shi Lin anxiously from the doorway.
"It's nothing, I've just made a breakthrough. Go back and rest, don't worry, I'm really fine!" Shi Lin said to Shi An with a smile.
"Yes, young master!" After hearing Shi Lin's voice and confirming that Shi Lin was not in danger, Shi An turned and left.
Shi Lin, inside the house, paid no attention to Shi An outside.
Shi Lin's eyes were fixed only on the white and green wine gu!
This wine gu is only as thick as a thumb, with a slender and well-proportioned body. It has white and green stripes on its body and looks a bit like chewing gum.
Shi Lin examined the attributes of this Gu worm.
[Gu Insect: Dual-Flavor Wine Gu]
[Level: Tier 2]
[Quality: Inferior]
[Functions: 1. After forming a contract, it can increase cultivation speed, soul power purity, and soul power concentration; 2. When placed in clear water for ten days, it can transform the clear water into low-grade dual-flavor wine]
[Introduction: Tier 2 Gu worm, one of the advanced stages of the wine worm. The crafting method is crude, the quality is poor, the effect is mediocre, the materials used in the crafting are mediocre, and the quality of the wine produced is also mediocre. It can be used to synthesize Tier 3 Gu worms.]
Although this wine gu is an inferior wine gu, it is a true second-tier gu worm.
Moreover, this second-tier wine gu proves that there are other methods besides this one for advancing wine gu.
After breaking through to level 20, Shi Lin obtained the special skill of the Divine Wood King Cauldron: Reverse Refinement. This skill allows him to analyze the existing Gu worms and determine the best Gu-refining formula.
Then he can use this Gu formula to refine high-grade or even top-grade second-tier wine Gu.
Shi Lin didn't even take the wine gu out of the Divine Wood King Cauldron before starting to use the reverse refining technique.
As Shi Lin placed his hand on the Divine Wood King Cauldron, a surge of soul power flowed into it.
The previously dormant dual-flavor wine gu began to slowly decompose and melt.
In less than a minute, this inferior dual-flavor wine gu went from being successfully refined to a pinhole-sized two-colored light spot.
The point of light circled once and then burrowed directly into Shi Lin's forehead.
Shi Lin slowly closed his eyes and began to decipher the information within the light spots.
[Gu Recipe: Dual-Flavor Wine Gu]
[Quality: Inferior]
[Level: Tier 2]
[Recipe: One low-grade Bitter Wine Gu, one low-grade Yunmeng Wine Gu, one jin of ordinary bitter wine, one jin of ordinary Yunmeng wine, and ten jin of grains of any quality]
"I didn't expect that we would need not only alcohol but also food," Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
Having obtained the Gu formula, Shi Lin prepared to begin refining the next dual-flavor wine Gu.
After summoning the Divine Wood King Cauldron, add two Gu worms, two kinds of wine, and ten catties of rice in sequence.
After adding the materials, Shi Lin channeled his soul power into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The next second, the soul power within the Divine Wood Cauldron began to cause the wine to boil rapidly.
The two wine gu did not devour each other as they had the first time they were made. Instead, they began to become transparent and then began to merge together.
"This is the correct way to start refining Gu worms!" Shi Lin said excitedly, pumping his fist.
The method of swallowing alive is simply too cruel!
