Chapter 15 Holiday
Looking at the three Bewitching Incense Gu in the glass bottle, Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Don't let their small size fool you; once they're bound by a contract, Shi Lin's current soul power is more than enough to take down any soul beast with less than a hundred years of cultivation.
With the Bewitching Incense Gu, Shi Lin will be much safer hunting soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest after breaking through to level ten.
Moreover, Shi Lin now looks down on Gu worms made from ordinary materials. Although the previous Silver Moon Gu had a certain attack power, it was really limited. It was like tickling a soul beast that was over 50 years old. In addition, it took a month's worth of moonlight to release an attack.
It's so useless it's outrageous!
So Shi Lin decided that when he went home for vacation in a while, he would definitely ask his father to buy him some soul beast materials to refine Gu worms.
Shi Lin currently only has the Wine Gu that assists in cultivation, the Silver Moon Gu that has a certain offensive power, and the Bewitching Incense Gu that can release bewitching fragrance in front of him.
Shi Lin still lacks more powerful offensive and defensive Gu worms. Although his father will arrange for people to help him when he goes to the Soul Hunting Forest, Shi Lin himself also needs to have a certain level of strength.
So after he goes home for the holidays, he'll have to ask his dad to buy him some soul beast materials to refine Gu.
"Forget it, I don't have any soul beast materials lately anyway, so I'll just focus on cultivating and try to break through to level ten as soon as possible!" Shi Lin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up and sat cross-legged to start cultivating.
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Lin finally got his vacation.
As soon as the afternoon bell rang, the children rushed out of the classroom like wild horses.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry; his father was probably waiting for him at the door with Shi An.
Seeing that most of the people had left, Shi Lin picked up his backpack and walked out of the classroom.
Shi Lin's backpack contained a glass bottle containing a Bewitching Incense Gu. If it broke, the Bewitching Incense Gu would spread, and a number of students would probably fall asleep.
That's why Shi Lin calmly walked out of the classroom.
After leaving the teaching building, he went straight to the main gate.
Shi An led the carriage, and Shi Zhen stood beside it, the two of them waiting for Shi Lin.
"Dad! Brother An!" Shi Lin saw the two people as soon as he stepped out and quickly waved to them.
"Son!" Upon hearing Shi Lin's voice, Shi Zhen quickly approached Shi Lin.
Shi Zhen looked Shi Lin up and down with concern.
"Not bad, not bad, my son is doing quite well outside, he's even gained weight!" Shi Zhen nodded with great satisfaction as he looked at Shi Lin's rosy complexion and the fact that he had gained some weight.
"Alright, Dad, let's hurry home. It's already this late, it'll be dark by the time we get home," Shi Lin said to Shi Zhen in an annoyed tone.
"Alright, let's set off now. But there's nothing we can do about it, since your class ended so late this time." Shi Zhen smiled and ruffled Shi Lin's hair before leading him into the carriage.
After confirming that the two were seated securely, Shi An cracked his whip and rode off towards Shijia Village.
As the moon gradually rose.
Shi An drove the carriage safely back to Shijia Village with Shi Zhen and Shi Lin.
After entering Shijia Village, they quickly returned to Shi Lin's home.
"It's getting late. Let's grab something to eat and go back to rest. Tell Xiao An what you'd like to eat, and the kitchen will make it for you tomorrow," Shi Zhen said with a smile, patting Shi Lin on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Dad. I'll head back now," Shi Lin replied, then returned to his courtyard to rest.
It has to be said that no matter how much your dorm room resembles your own home, it's still not as good as your own.
Lying on his large bed, Shi Lin felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
"Young Master, you haven't eaten lunch this afternoon. What would you like to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and find someone to make it for you." Shi An's voice came from outside the room.
"Brother An, just get me a bowl of noodles. Oh, and call Uncle Fugui for me, I need to talk to him if I need anything," Shi Lin said to Shi An outside the door while lying on the bed.
"Alright, young master, I'll take care of it right away!" Shi An replied, then turned around and went to the kitchen to have something prepared for Shi Lin.
Not long after, a figure arrived outside Shi Lin's house.
"Young Master, did you call for me?" A deep, middle-aged man's voice came from outside the room.
"Uncle Fugui, it's me!" Shi Lin responded, quickly got out of bed, went to the door, opened it, and welcomed Fugui in.
"Thank you, young master," Fugui said to Shi Lin with a smile.
Fugui was one of the slaves that Shi Zhen bought. Because of his strong work ability, he became the steward of the Shi family.
Fugui is only 1.6 meters tall, but he is honest, kind, shrewd and capable. He has a great talent for gathering intelligence, and Shi Zhen also valued this ability of Fugui. He treated Fugui with respect and courtesy, which made Fugui loyal to the Shi family.
"Uncle Fugui, do you know the price of soul beast materials? I want to buy some, they'll be useful." Shi Lin didn't hesitate and said directly to Fugui.
"Soul beast materials? The price of these fluctuates greatly, and it is closely related to the age of the soul beast and the part of it. Generally speaking, ten gold soul coins can buy the corpse of a soul beast with a hundred years of cultivation." Fugui scratched his head and asked Shi Lin with some confusion.
"Ten gold soul coins will do! The price isn't too high." Shi Lin nodded with some surprise upon hearing this; ten gold soul coins were indeed not expensive.
"If it's cheap, you can buy it for one or two gold soul coins, or even a few dozen silver soul coins," Fugui continued to say to Shi Lin.
"I have less than fifty gold soul coins left, Uncle Fugui. Could you please help me buy a few soul beast corpses recently? I need them." Shi Lin said earnestly to Fugui, handing him his money bag.
"Young Master, this matter needs to be discussed with Master. I can't make the decision myself. I can only take on this task if Master agrees." Fugui looked at the money bag that Shi Lin handed him and helplessly refused Shi Lin's request.
"Okay, I'll talk to my dad about it tomorrow. It's not a big deal, he should agree." Shi Lin nodded to Fugui and said.
"Alright then, young master, I'll arrange for someone to scout out the nearby Soul Hunting Forest in the next couple of days and check out the prices! Let me give you a heads-up about the market." Fugui nodded to Shi Lin and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fugui." Shi Lin also showed a bright smile.
"Young Master, since there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Fugui bowed respectfully to Shi Lin and then prepared to leave.
"Alright, Uncle Fugui, take care." Shi Lin stood up and saw Fugui out of his room.
After seeing Fugui off, Shi Lin wore an excited smile.
He never expected that the corpses of soul beasts would be so cheap. It seems that his path of refining Gu worms will be much easier in the future!
