Chapter 147: The Supreme-Grade Gu Insect is Completed?
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Shi Lin spent most of his days training and cultivating at Shrek Academy, and at night he would immerse himself in the Gu Insect Chamber to study the Dual-Flavor Wine Gu.
However, in the past month, Shi Lin has made no progress in his research on the top-grade dual-flavored wine gu.
"Damn it! Another failure! What exactly is the secret recipe for this top-grade dual-flavor wine gu?" Shi Lin angrily threw the gray gu worm from the Divine Wood King Cauldron onto the ground.
By this time, Shi Lin was already physically and mentally exhausted from the torment of the dual-flavor wine gu refinement.
After hundreds of attempts and using over a hundred top-grade wine gu, they still couldn't develop a single top-grade dual-flavor wine gu.
Shi Lin has begun to doubt whether the top-grade Dual-Flavor Wine Gu truly exists!
Looking at the large pile of gray wine gu worms on the ground, which were like stones, all of which were Shi Lin's failed attempts, Shi Lin was also dejected.
"Huh? I wonder if this thing will work!" Shi Lin looked at the corpses of the Gu worms and suddenly had an idea!
Although these wine gu failed to advance, they were still considered to be half-step top-grade dual-flavor wine gu!
Shi Lin was also a decisive person. Once he had an idea, he would try it. So he went up and searched around and found a near-perfect dual-flavor wine gu corpse that was closest to success.
Next, Shi Lin summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron and threw the corpse of the Gu worm into it.
"Soul skill! Reverse Refinement!"
Shi Lin reached out and placed his hand on the Divine Wood King Cauldron, then poured his soul power into the cauldron and used his soul skill.
The next second, beams of green light were released from the Divine Wood King Cauldron and then injected into the corpse of the Gu worm.
The gray corpse of the Gu worm also slowly melted away.
"Great! Great! The corpse of this Gu worm is useful now. This way, I can get more Gu formulas!" Shi Lin's eyes lit up with excitement.
The next second, it transformed into an almost invisible point of light and flew out from the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
However, the light spots refined from the corpse of a Gu worm are much weaker than those refined from a normal Gu worm.
The point of light circled once inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and then flew to Shi Lin's brow.
Shi Lin closed his eyes, sensing the information within the point of light.

"So, you can only get information about one type of material from a single corpse! That's already pretty good!" Shi Lin looked excitedly at the corpses on the ground that had failed to refine the Gu worms.
Although a single Gu worm corpse can only yield one material from the recipe, Shi Lin has a lot of Gu worm corpses here!
Next, Shi Lin excitedly picked up all the Gu worms on the ground and began to use reverse refinement to transform these corpses into Gu formulas.
Anyway, the corpses of the Gu worms aren't of much value, so this is a way to make use of them.
However, after refining more than a dozen Gu worms, Shi Lin realized that this skill was unreliable.
The extracted information is completely unstable. The Pine Moon Wine Gu and Yunmeng Wine Gu have appeared three or four times already, while other materials have never appeared at all.
This reverse refinement has now turned into a word-collecting game!
Shi Lin hoped that the corpses of these dual-flavor wine gu could be used to refine the complete recipe of the top-grade dual-flavor wine gu.
Then, Shi Lin began to recklessly reverse refine the wine gu corpses.
...
Two hours later, Shi Lin held the last corpse in his hand, looking at the Divine Wood King Cauldron in front of him.
At this moment, Shi Lin's eyes were red, just like those of a gambler who had lost everything!
Currently, nine of the ten ingredients for the top-grade Dual-Flavor Wine Gu recipe have been obtained, with only the last one remaining.
Shi Lin only has one more chance left. If he fails this time, he will need to refine another batch of Gu worms.
After throwing the last Gu worm corpse into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, Shi Lin placed his hands on the cauldron and then poured most of his soul power into it.
"Come on, give it to me!" Shi Lin shouted, and his soul power continued to pour into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
A few seconds later, the gray Gu worm corpse inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron transformed into a white dot of light and flew to Shi Lin's brow.
Shi Lin slowly closed his eyes, sensing the information within the point of light.
"Great! It's all done!" Shi Lin jumped up excitedly, his face flushed red as he wildly waved his fists.
The last ingredient is ready!
[Gu Recipe: Dual-Flavor Wine Gu]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Level: Tier 2]
[Ingredients: One superior wine gu (Pine Moon), one superior wine gu (Cloud Dream), three catties of premium Pine Moon wine, three catties of premium Cloud Dream wine, one catty of hundred-year-old Cloud Brewed Bamboo, one catty of hundred-year-old Moon Dew Pine Needles, one superior Pine Leaf Gu, one superior Bamboo Leaf Gu, one premium Crystal, one catty of clear water]
"Good heavens! This top-grade second-tier wine gu has so many materials!" Shi Lin exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.
Shi Lin hadn't expected that refining a top-grade dual-flavor wine gu would require so many materials.
At this moment, Shi Lin felt that even though he couldn't refine the ultimate dual-flavor wine gu, it wasn't a loss!
It's definitely worth it!
However, the top-grade dual-flavor wine gu was too important to Shi Lin, so he was willing to refine it even if it required twice the amount of materials.
While you're still young, try to improve your cultivation as much as possible.
After all, as the level of the Gu worm increases, the required materials also become more numerous and rarer. In that case, it would be extremely difficult for Shi Lin to obtain a complete top-grade Gu worm formula so easily.
"With so much stuff, I need to take a leave of absence and go home to prepare. Besides, there are quite a few top-grade dual-flavor wine gu that need to be refined, which will also take some time," Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
The materials he brought with him this time have been almost used up. Even if he fails to obtain the Gu formula this time, Shi Lin will have to return to the Shi family manor to replenish his materials.
"I'll sleep tonight and go home to gather more materials tomorrow." Shi Lin yawned, then walked out of the secret chamber, returned to his bedroom, washed up quickly, and went to sleep.
During this month, Shi Lin trained during the day, refined Gu worms in the first half of the night, and cultivated soul power in the second half of the night, basically without any rest.
...
The next morning, Shi Lin asked Flander for leave. Flander naturally had no objections, and then Shi Lin took Shi An back to the manor.
After returning to the manor, Shi Lin went straight to find Du Yunqing.
After ten days, Du Yunqing's courtyard was completely renovated. Under the blessing of Lin Yu's small grass and wood gu, the Moon Dew Pine had fully recovered its vitality and looked even more lush.
"Old Du! I'm back!" Shi Lin smiled heartily at Du Yunqing and then entered Du Yunqing's courtyard.
"Xiao Lin, you're back!" Du Yunqing was preparing the yeast when she saw Shi Lin and smiled as she spoke.
"Grandpa Du, I wanted to get some pine needles from the Moon Dew Pine as soon as I got back. I have a use for them," Shi Lin said with a smile, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Du Yunqing.
Upon hearing the name "Moon Dew Pine," Du Yunqing's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Shi Lin to be so knowledgeable, recognizing such a treasure as the Moon Dew Pine.
"No problem. During the relocation, many pine needles fell from the Moon Dew Pine. With Miss Lin Yu's help, the Moon Dew Pine has recovered and is even stronger than before!" Du Yunqing nodded excitedly and said to Shi Lin.
Although Du Yunqing was well-informed, he was still shocked by the power of the small grass and wood gu.
"By the way, Elder Du, do you still have any Moon Dew Pine seeds? I want to plant more so I can make these Moon Dew Pine trees grow quickly," Shi Lin said earnestly to Du Yunqing.
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Du Yunqing nodded with a smile.
Next, Du Yunqing led Shi Lin to a warehouse behind the courtyard.
At this time, the warehouse was filled with yellow, withered pine needles, and in the corner there were some huge pine cones that were half a person tall.
"Xiao Lin, take as many pine needles as you need. These pine cones are full of plump pine nuts. I was originally planning to roast them for you after the yeast was made," Du Yunqing said with a smile.
Du Yunqing didn't know anything about planting, so every year the pine nuts produced were roasted and used to supplement Du Ming's energy.
"Hehe, Old Du, it would be such a waste to use such good stuff to roast pine nuts. Don't worry, I'll return a whole forest of Moon Dew Pine Trees to you in two years!" Shi Lin waved his hand and put all the pine cones into his soul tool.
After loading the pine nuts, Shi Lin went to the pile of pine needles and carefully inspected them; the quality was excellent.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Lin took all the pine needles from half the warehouse.
Du Yunqing looked at Shi Lin and shook his head with a smile.
"By the way, Elder Du, you don't have a soul tool yet, do you? I'll have my father pick one out for you in a bit." Shi Lin looked at Du Yunqing and immediately stepped forward, taking Du Yunqing's hand and speaking earnestly.
Du Yunqing was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "How come these two, father and son, are doing the same thing?"
"Then thank you, Xiao Lin," Du Yunqing said with a smile.
"Mr. Du, you're busy, I'll head back now." Shi Lin released Du Yunqing's hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Du Yunqing.
Then, Shi Lin took Shi An and left.
After leaving the courtyard, Shi Lin randomly found a servant and asked him to tell Shi Zhen to equip Du Yunqing with a soul tool.
Shi Lin turned and left, returning to the basement.
Besides the materials for Moon Dew Pine, there are also materials for Cloud Brewed Bamboo, which are plentiful in the botanical garden.
After Shi Lin and Lin Yu entered the botanical garden, they found Lin Yu watering the medicinal herbs.
Because Lin Yu joined the Shi family at a relatively late age, his soul power level was not special when Shrek Academy joined the Shi family.
Moreover, Lin Yu is a pure food-type Soul Master, so Flander did not allow Lin Yu to participate in the training camp.
Lin Yu is also a gentle person who doesn't like fighting, so she stayed here to continue taking care of the plants.
It was precisely because Lin Yu stayed in the botanical garden that Lin Yu's soul power level had reached level 18, and he would soon break through level 20.
"Young Master, you're back! Greetings, Young Master!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up when she saw Shi Lin, and she bowed respectfully to him.
"Hey, Sister Lin Yu, long time no see! I've come to see you about two things," Shi Lin said with a smile.
"Don't worry, young master, I'll definitely get it done for you." Lin Yu smiled and nodded at Shi Lin.
"These are pine cones from the Moon Dew Pine. In a little while, Brother An and I will take the pine nuts out of the cones. We'll need you to clear out a plot of land specifically to cultivate these seedlings," Shi Lin said with a smile to Lin Yu.
"No problem, young master!" Lin Yu nodded and said.
"Sister Lin Yu, do you still have any bamboo leaves and bamboo material from Cloud Brewed Bamboo?" Shi Lin asked Lin Yu again.
"It's all ready for you!" Lin Yu nodded, then took a green jade bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin's eyes lit up. After taking the soul tool, he examined the contents inside.
Inside, there was only a large pile of withered yellow leaves and bamboo stalks of the Cloud Brewed Bamboo.
"Hehe, Sister Lin Yu understands me so well," Shi Lin said with a smile.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Lin Yu covered her face and revealed a bright smile.
Next, Shi Lin and Shi An extracted all the pine nuts from the pine cones, keeping one-fifth for refining Gu worms and giving the rest to Lin Yu for cultivation.
Once all the Moon Dew Pines are cultivated, the Shi family will be able to own their own Moon Dew Pine Forest.
After completing the research on the second-tier wine gu, it's time to start researching the second-tier small herb gu, since the small herb gu is also very important to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin will need a lot of materials in the future, and the small grass and wood gu can accelerate the cultivation of these materials.
After doing all that, Shi Lin handed all the pine nuts over to Lin Yu.
"Sister Lin Yu, I'm entrusting all these things to you. I need to go back and prepare to refine the Gu worms." Shi Lin waved to Lin Yu and then turned and left.
Lin Yu looked at Shi Lin's expression, shook her head with a smile, then went to a corner and took out a large box filled with soil.
Next, Lin Yu planted the seeds in the box, and then took out more than a dozen wine gu from his backpack and placed them on the box.
...
Shi Lin did not return to the secret chamber to rest, but instead went to the secret chamber where he refined Gu worms.
Shi Lin has many more of the top-grade Pine Moon Wine Gu and Cloud Dream Wine Gu, and the other materials are also readily available, so it's not difficult to refine them.
It took Shi Lin half an hour to prepare all the materials for refining the top-grade dual-flavor wine gu.
"Hehe, a top-grade dual-flavored wine gu! Here I come!" Shi Lin waved excitedly, then summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron and began refining the gu worms.
The Divine Wood King Cauldron stood on the table. Shi Lin added one item after another to the Divine Wood King Cauldron, then stretched out his hands and frantically poured the soul power in his body into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
As Shi Lin continuously inputted his soul power, the Divine Wood Cauldron began to flash with two colors, emerald green and dark green, alternating and dazzling.
Meanwhile, the materials inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron began to slowly fuse together, and a rich aroma of wine emanated from the cauldron.
The aroma of this wine blends the leisurely feel of Pine Moon wine with the crispness of Cloud Dream wine.
Shi Lin's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma of the wine.
"Is it finally going to be completed?" Shi Lin said excitedly, looking at the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
