Chapter 44 The Mutated Cloud-Brewed Bamboo
Soon, Shi Lin arrived at the edge of the Yunniangzhu area.
At this moment, the Bitter Wine Gu was clinging to a purple pillar, frantically gnawing at it.
Shi Lin quickly stepped forward and pulled the wine Gu that was stuck to the bamboo.
After being caught by Shi Lin, the Bitter Wine Gu was still struggling frantically, trying to break free from Shi Lin's grasp and continue gnawing on the bamboo.
Shi Lin naturally wouldn't let it have its way. He picked up the wine Gu, used the Divine Wood King Cauldron to suppress it, and then threw it into the bamboo basket at his waist.
"Young Master, why is this Cloud Brew Bamboo purple?" Shi An scratched his head and asked Shi Lin.
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Shi Lin looked up in surprise.
As expected, the bamboo that the wine Gu wanted to gnaw on, although purple, had white spots on its surface, just like the Yunniang bamboo.
"It really is Cloud Brew Bamboo, but why is it purple? Has it mutated?" Shi Lin frowned and muttered to himself.
"Young Master, should I go absorb the soul ring first?" Lin Yu asked Shi Lin in a low voice.
"Wait a moment." Shi Lin waved his hand, not letting Lin Yu absorb the Cloud Brew Bamboo.
"You two stay here and protect me, I need to conduct an experiment," Shi Lin said to Shi An and Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master!" the two replied simultaneously, then cautiously looked around at their surroundings.
Shi Lin couldn't determine what kind of soul beast it was, but it should be related to the Cloud Brewing Bamboo. So Shi Lin planned to use the bamboo leaves of this bamboo to refine Gu worms, so that he could find out the name and cultivation level of this soul beast.
This can be considered a minor bug.
After summoning the Divine Wood King Cauldron, Shi Lin dug up two bamboo worms nearby. After all, this was a bamboo forest, and these bamboo worms were everywhere. He could easily find a bunch by searching around. Finally, he picked a few bamboo leaves from the Purple Cloud Brewing Bamboo.
Shi Lin glanced at Shi An and Lin Yu, then sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to refine Gu worms here.
He threw bamboo leaves and bamboo worms into the Divine Wood King Cauldron and began refining Gu.
[Unknown Gu worm... 30% success rate!]
"Let's go for 30% or 30%. If we fail, we can start over. There are still plenty of bamboo leaves left." Shi Lin raised an eyebrow, then channeled his soul power to begin refining the Gu worm.
As soul power was injected into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, the purple bamboo leaves slowly transformed into purple mist, which then enveloped the bamboo worms.
In less than a minute, the Gu worm was successfully refined.
Despite the cramped conditions, the quality of the Gu worm produced was quite good; it should be a mid-grade or high-grade Gu worm.
This Gu worm was entirely bluish-green, and unlike normal bamboo worms which are plump, it was flat, resembling a thickened bamboo leaf.
"Come on, let me see what this thing is." Shi Lin smiled and then examined the attributes of the Gu worm.
[Gu Insect: Bamboo Leaf Gu]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Medium]
[Functions: 1. After forming a contract, soul power can be input to condense a bamboo leaf energy blade, which has a certain destructive power; 2. Every ten days, a wisp of spiritual bamboo energy can be emitted to promote bamboo growth]
[Introduction: This Gu worm is refined from the leaves of a mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo with three hundred years of cultivation. The refining method is crude, and the materials are ordinary. A trace of spiritual bamboo energy generated by the bamboo leaf Gu can enhance the bamboo's cultivation level by one day.]
"It's actually a mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo with three hundred years of cultivation!" Shi Lin exclaimed in surprise.
As for the attributes of the Bamboo Leaf Gu, they are really too poor. Although it can improve cultivation, it can only do so for one day.
Shi Lin has no intention of growing bamboo, so the properties of the bamboo leaf Gu are meaningless to him.
Shi An and Lin Yu turned around at the same time and looked at Shi Lin.
"Come on, Lin Yu, absorb this soul ring. I'm sure it's a mutated Cloud Brewing Bamboo Soul Beast with three hundred years of cultivation! You can absorb it directly." Shi Lin excitedly waved to Lin Yu and said.
Lin Yu's mind was a little foggy for a moment; she was somewhat dizzy from Shi Lin's instructions.
However, Lin Yu still remembered Shi Lin's last words.
Absorb the spirit ring of this spirit beast.
Lin Yu mechanically drew her short knife, walked up to the mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo, carefully inserted the knife into the soil, and then dug the mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo out by the roots.
The wine produced by this cloud-brewed bamboo is exceptionally expensive, so when killing this kind of spirit beast, the bamboo is usually not cut down directly, but uprooted and left to die slowly.
This way, the most wine can be extracted from the body of Yunniangzhu.
"Here, three top-grade bitter wine Gu. Lin Yu, take advantage of Yun Niangzhu's remaining health and immediately amend the contract. A three-hundred-year-old soul beast is a bit too advanced for you. It will be dangerous if you don't use the Gu." Shi Lin said seriously to Lin Yu.
"Thank you, young master!" Lin Yu accepted the three high-grade bitter wine Gu from Shi Lin's hand without any hesitation, and then began to amend the contract.
Shi Lin had dozens of high-grade Gu worms hidden in the bamboo basket at his waist. After all, there were only three of them entering the Soul Hunting Forest this time, so they had to be well prepared.
Moreover, these Gu worms were all in a state of no contract, and only the Divine Wood King Cauldron on Shi Lin's body could suppress them, so these Gu worms were all on Shi Lin's body.
Soon, Lin Yu changed the contracted Swamp Poison Gu and two Silver Moon Gu into three high-grade Bitter Wine Gu.
At this point, the mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo had already died.
A faint yellow light began to slowly emanate from Yun Niangzhu's body.
These rays of light condensed into a yellow soul ring on Yunniangzhu's body.
This was also the first time Shi Lin had ever seen a spirit ring. When Shi An absorbed the spirit ring, Shi Lin was only four years old, which was too young. Shi Zhen did not agree to let Shi Lin go to the Soul Hunting Forest.
The spirit ring produced by the mutated cloud bamboo is somewhat similar to the spirit ring on the head of an angel in mythology, and the spirit ring also has a circular mark belonging to a spirit beast.
"This is a fresh spirit ring?" Shi Lin stroked his chin, looking at the spirit ring in front of him with great interest.
"Yes, young master, this is a spirit ring." Shi An came to Shi Lin's side and explained to him.
Shi Lin nodded without saying much, after all, this was the first time he had seen a soul ring condensed from a soul beast's corpse up close.
It wasn't as amazing as he had imagined.
"Brother An, let's protect Lin Yu," Shi Lin said to Shi An after glancing at Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An replied, then approached Lin Yu and cautiously looked around.
Shi Lin moved to the other side and began to look around warily.
Lin Yu quickly regained her composure and summoned her martial soul.
After Lin Yu released her soul power, it slowly condensed into a ball of wine, which was her Bitter Wine Martial Soul.
After the martial soul appeared, the soul ring on the mutated cloud-brewed bamboo seemed to be drawn by some force and actually flew towards Lin Yu on its own.
This is proof of the compatibility between the martial soul and the soul ring attributes.
In the blink of an eye, the spirit ring arrived above Lin Yu's head, and then suddenly contracted, entering Lin Yu's martial soul.
