Chapter 11 Attacking the Gu Insects! Silver Moon Gu
Shi Lin strolled around Notting Junior Academy. The Academy was quite large, and the various buildings were simple yet grand in style, making it very pleasing to the eye.
Just then, Shi Lin suddenly discovered a batch of bamboo near the artificial hill.
Upon seeing the bamboo, Shi Lin's eyes lit up.
The presence of bamboo proves that bamboo worms exist here.
Bamboo worms are excellent materials for refining poisonous insects.
Since Shi Lin had just started school, it wasn't convenient for him to bring the insects with him. So, he originally planned to have Shi An bring a batch of insects after he got used to dormitory life, so that it would be convenient to refine Gu insects.
After all, Gu worms are Shi Lin's greatest asset. While cultivating and learning Soul Master knowledge, Shi Lin also needs to develop some new ways to use Gu worms.
After all, Shi Lin can't rely on just one type of Gu worm, the Wine Gu, in the future.
The wine Gu only increases cultivation speed; it has no combat power whatsoever.
After Shi Lin absorbed his first soul ring, he could only assign three wine Gu to the six auxiliary Gu positions; the rest would need to be contracted with Gu that had combat capabilities.
After all, this is the world of Soul Masters. One wrong move and you could lose your life, which would truly prove the saying...
He died before achieving his goal.
Therefore, Shi Lin will next use different materials to practice Gu cultivation, so that he can have more Gu cultivation recipes as soon as possible.
Shi Lin nervously glanced around to make sure no one was there before entering the bamboo forest. He tapped and poked around, eventually cutting down five or six bamboo stalks and finding more than ten bamboo worms, returning with a full load.
It's not that Shi Lin likes bamboo worms, it's just that bamboo worms are relatively large and resilient.
On the way back, Shi Lin picked a handful of Blue Silver Grass by the roadside.
This was the easiest soul beast material Shi Lin could think of, since there was no soul beast forest near Notting City, making it extremely difficult to obtain soul beast materials.
The nearest Soul Beast Forest takes a whole day to reach by carriage, so Shi Lin has to use all the materials at his disposal to refine the Gu worms.
There were still two days until the official start of school, so there weren't many people at Notting Junior Academy, and Shi Lin didn't encounter anyone else along the way.
Shi Lin quickly returned to his room, then put the bamboo worms in a bamboo basket and fed them with bamboo every day. After a period of time, the number of bamboo worms was not large, but they should be used up when refining some Gu worms.
Next, Shi Lin turned his attention to the Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass that Shi Lin found had no cultivation level and were mostly annual Blue Silver Grass.
"It's fortunate that this thing is everywhere, and it's even a soul beast. I wonder what kind of Gu worms can be made from Blue Silver Grass and bamboo worms? We'll find out after practicing." Shi Lin looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand with great interest.
Next, Shi Lin summoned his Spirit, the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Shi Lin broke some Blue Silver Grass into small pieces and threw them into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Then he picked up a bamboo worm from the bamboo basket and threw it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Enter your soul power and check the success rate.
[Unknown Gu worm... 20% success rate]
"You really can practice Gu poison!" Shi Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at the prompt from the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Next, Shi Lin adjusted the weight of the Blue Silver Grass, making adjustments repeatedly to maximize the success rate.
After several attempts, Shi Lin finally obtained the formula with the highest success rate for this unknown Gu worm.
Next, Shi Lin added Blue Silver Grass and Bamboo Worms to the recipe with the highest success rate.
"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!" Shi Lin stretched out his hand, and pure white soul power burst forth from his body, pouring into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
With the aid of the wine Gu in his cultivation, Shi Lin's soul power has transformed into a purer, milky-white soul power than ordinary soul power.
As soul power was injected, the Blue Silver Grass slowly dissolved and turned into blue mist, filling the entire Divine Wood King Cauldron. The originally quiet bamboo worms began to writhe wildly, but were quickly covered by the blue mist.
Shi Lin stared nervously at the bamboo worms inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
If this succeeds, Shi Lin will be able to use the second type of Gu worm!
Moreover, Shi Lin felt that if this Gu worm was successfully refined, it would most likely be an offensive type of Gu worm.
A minute later, the blue smoke gradually faded, and the bamboo worms, which were originally as thick as a finger, became as thick as chopsticks, and their length also decreased to only two or three centimeters.
Moreover, the original white bamboo worms have turned blue, and the blue surface has a layer of silver patterns, giving them a noble look.
"Has it shrunk?" Shi Lin quickly took out the Gu worm from the Divine Wood King Cauldron and examined it carefully.
[Gu Insect: Silver Moon Gu]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Inferior]
[Function: Infused with soul power, it can unleash a moon blade; its destructive power is moderate]
[Description: A relatively common type of first-tier Gu worm. It feeds on moonlight, and the more moonlight it absorbs, the stronger the Moon Blade's destructive power becomes.]
"According to the description, this Silver Moon Gu needs to gather moonlight to unleash its full power, so its combat ability is a bit weak. However, this does provide an attack method and also gives it a means of survival." Shi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the Silver Moon Gu in his hand.
Currently, Shi Lin has contracted three Gu worms, all of which are wine Gu, so there's nowhere left to contract Silver Moon Gu. Therefore, Shi Lin doesn't know the true strength of Silver Moon Gu.
However, it seems like a good idea. If we raise a few now, we can contract one or two to ensure our safety when we go hunting soul beasts in the future.
Shi Lin took out a small bamboo cage, placed the Silver Moon Gu inside, and then put it in a corner, waiting for the moon to come out at night so that the Silver Moon Gu could absorb the moonlight and increase its combat power.
Although the Silver Moon Gu is weak in combat, its lethality can be increased if a high-grade Gu worm can be refined.
Therefore, Shi Lin's next goal is to find Blue Silver Grass of even higher age, so that he can refine Silver Moon Gu of even higher quality.
Shi Lin's safety can also be guaranteed.
Next, he just had to wait for school to start the day after tomorrow. Shi Lin lay on his bed, bored, resting while thinking about what materials he would use to refine the Gu worms.
Ordinary Blue Silver Grass can only be used to refine low-grade Silver Moon Gu. This is a rule that Shi Lin summarized when refining wine Gu.
To refine a high-grade Silver Moon Gu, you need aged Blue Silver Grass.
Notting Junior Academy has professional gardeners who generally don't let Blue Silver Grass grow for more than a year.
As the sky outside gradually darkened, Shi Lin placed the Silver Moon Gu on the windowsill.
As the moonlight shone on the Silver Moon Gu, the Gu lay in the bamboo basket, seemingly devouring the moonlight like silk threads being drawn.
Shi Lin found it interesting, watched for a while, and then returned to his bed to begin cultivating.
Although Shi Lin had the aid of the wine Gu to cultivate, it would still take him one or two months to break through to the fourth level.
Therefore, Shi Lin must seize the time to cultivate.
