Chapter 25 Bitter Wine Gu
The next afternoon, Shi Lin skipped a class and sat in his dormitory to cultivate with all his might. Shi Lin felt that his cultivation was about to break through, so he increased his cultivation time.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Shi Lin slowly exited his cultivation state, asking the person outside the door as he did so.
"Young Master, it's me, Shi An." Shi An's voice came from outside the room.
Upon hearing Shi An's voice, Shi Lin immediately jumped off the bed, opened the door, and let Shi An into the dormitory.
Besides Shi An, there were six or seven servants, each carrying two jars of wine.
Shi Lin immediately had these people move the drinks to his room.
Soon, the wine jars that were originally scattered all over the ground were now stacked in two layers.
"Young Master, there are thirteen jars of bitter wine in total, all of them are here," Shi An said to Shi Lin, pointing to the wine jars in front of him.
"Well done, here's your reward." Shi Lin waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen silver soul coins, giving each person two silver soul coins.
"Thank you for your generous gift, young master!" Several servants quickly bowed to Shi Lin.
"Go back and wait for Shi An to take you back to Shijia Village." Shi Lin waved his hand, signaling these people to leave his dormitory.
"Yes, young master!" The servants bowed respectfully to Shi Lin and then left his dormitory.
"Young Master, there are too many wine jars. Should I take some back?" Shi An asked Shi Lin with a smile.
"No need, these wine jars are very useful," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi An.
Next, they will strive to ensure that each of the wine Gu they refine has its own independent wine jar, and that these wine Gu can also brew wine out of thin air in the wine jar.
In this way, by repeating the process, Shi Lin can produce wine Gu even faster.
"Young Master, we have investigated thoroughly and there are no problems with Lin Yu's identity. We not only gathered information in Lin Family Village, but also in several nearby villages, and even asked a few elderly people in Shi Family Village before we were able to confirm it," Shi An reported earnestly to Shi Lin.
"What are Lin Yu's parents' Spirits?" Shi Lin asked Shi An after thinking for a moment.
"Her father's Spirit is the bitter vine, her mother's Spirit is the wine jar, and her younger sister will not awaken her Spirit until next year. Her parents are ordinary people with no talent as soul masters. Three years ago, Lin Yu's father died when a soul beast attacked Lin Family Village."
"After Lin Yu's father died, Lin Yu's mother fell ill from overwork and became bedridden. Lin Yu had to work a lot to buy medicine to support her mother's medical needs and daily life." Shi An told Shi Lin everything he knew in one go.
"In that case, Lin Yu still has great potential for development," Shi Lin said, analyzing the information Shi An had obtained.
"But before that, I still want to try whether this bitter wine can be used to refine Gu worms," Shi Lin said, stroking his chin.
"Young Master, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Shi An scratched his head, looking at Shi Lin's expression, and asked for permission.
"Oh, right, give this letter to my father." Shi Lin handed the letter he had written last night to Shi An.
Last night, Shi Lin wrote down the contents of his conversation with Xiao Chenyu, as well as his speculations, in a letter and asked Shi An to take the letter back.
"Yes, young master, I'll take my leave!" Shi An took the letter seriously and then turned and left Shi Lin's dormitory.
"Okay, be careful on your way back," Shi Lin said to Shi An.
"Don't worry, young master, there won't be any problems," Shi An said with a smile as he turned around.
After watching Shi An leave, Shi Lin finally turned his attention to the wine jar in front of him.
These wine jars are of very average quality. They look like they've been buried in the ground for a long time, and they even give off a faint bitter wine smell.
"I wonder what quality of Gu worms can be refined from this bitter wine." Shi Lin stroked his chin, then opened a jar of bitter wine.
An indescribable bitter taste mixed with the pungent smell of alcohol sent a chill down Shi Lin's spine.
Shi Lin's mind went blank for a second.
However, after Shi Lin recovered, he got used to the taste of the bitter wine. He sat down at the table, summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and took out the bamboo worms that he had prepared beforehand. Next, he was going to use the bitter wine to start refining the wine Gu.
He wondered what quality of wine Gu can Lin Yu, a food-type soul master, refine.
Shi Lin picked up the jar of bitter wine and began to concoct the wine Gu according to the optimal ratio.
The green, bitter wine looked much more pleasing to the eye inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Next, Shi Lin took out a bamboo worm and threw it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The entire process of refining the poison took less than a minute from start to finish.
As the green wine disappeared, a green wine Gu lay quietly at the bottom of the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
"Success!" Shi Lin cheered and pumped his fist in delight.
Although the Gu culling was successful this time, it doesn't seem to be a complete success, because the Gu is green!
Shi Lin had also refined many wine Gu, and this was the first time he had ever seen a green wine Gu.
So Shi Lin stared at the green wine Gu, wanting the Divine Wood King Cauldron to determine its properties.
The next second, information about the Gu worm appeared in Shi Lin's mind.
[Gu Insect: Wine Gu (Bitter)]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Medium]
[Functions: 1. After forming a contract, it can increase cultivation speed, improve soul power purity, and slightly enhance talent; 2. When placed in clear water for ten days, it can transform the clear water into bitter wine]
[Introduction: A variant of the basic wine Gu. Due to the addition of special materials, the quality of the wine Gu has been improved. The crafting technique is skillful, and the quality is excellent. It can be used as a material for crafting second-grade Gu worms.]
[Note: Sorrow and suffering have lasted for millennia; countless threads of sorrow vanish with the wine.]
"It can slightly enhance talent?" Shi Lin stared wide-eyed at the attributes of the Bitter Wine Gu in disbelief.
Shi Lin never expected that his unexpected action would result in obtaining such a special Gu worm.
Although Shi Lin's cultivation was enhanced by the Wine Gu, allowing him to cultivate at a speed comparable to other Soul Masters, his fundamental talent was simply too poor. If he could improve his talent, coupled with the Wine Gu's enhancement...
Shi Lin's cultivation speed can be increased by a large margin!
Therefore, Shi Lin now has only one idea: to refine all these bitter wines into Gu worms, and then rely on them to devour each other to turn the mid-grade bitter wine Gu into high-grade Gu.
In this way, not only can the cultivation speed be increased, but cultivation talent can also be improved!
Without hesitation, he immediately took out the materials and began to refine the Bitter Wine Gu!
The next morning, Shi Lin, sporting dark circles under his eyes, looked at the ten mid-grade bitter wine Gu and three low-grade bitter wine Gu in the bamboo basket in front of him.
"I wonder how many mid-grade wine Gu would need to devour each other to create a high-grade bitter wine Gu," Shi Lin muttered to himself, pursing his lips.
Last time, Shi Lin only had ten mid-grade wine Gu, which devoured each other to become high-grade wine Gu.
Shi Lin now possesses thirteen mid-grade Bitter Wine Gu, enough to devour a high-grade Bitter Wine Gu.
Therefore, Shi Lin was not worried about not having enough medium-grade bitter wine Gu.
Next, Shi Lin summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Under normal circumstances, these Gu worms would devour each other even in a wine jar.
Therefore, Shi Lin believed that if these Gu worms were inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron, they could gain more benefits by devouring each other.
Next, Shi Lin took out four bitter wine Gu and threw them into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Shi Lin wanted to know how many mid-grade Gu worms were needed to evolve into a high-grade Gu worm.
After these Gu worms landed at the bottom of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, they quickly distanced themselves from the other Bitter Wine Gu worms, becoming wary of each other.
Shi Lin thought for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand and channeled a stream of soul power into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
This time, the Divine Wood Cauldron did not provide Shi Lin with information on the success rate of Gu refining; instead, it emitted a faint fragrance.
"What is this fragrance?" Shi Lin asked, puzzled.
Before Shi Lin could react, the Bitter Wine Gu in the Divine Wood King Cauldron suddenly transformed into a warrior and began to frantically attack the other Bitter Wine Gu around him.
In an instant, the Bitter Wine Gu inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron was torn apart by blood and flesh, with green body tissue flying everywhere.
The ferocity of these Gu worms sent chills down Shi Lin's spine; it was simply insane!
A strange thought suddenly popped into Shi Lin's mind: Could it be that these bitter wine Gu were affected by the fragrance that the Divine Wood King Cauldron had just emitted?
