"Master! I'm back!" Fugui shouted loudly to Shi Zhen from the courtyard.
"Fugui? You're back. Come in quickly." Upon hearing Fugui's voice, Shi Zhen went straight to the door of the study, opened it, and invited Fugui in.
"Young Master is here too. Perfect timing. I brought back some things this time. See if you can use them." Fugui said quickly when he saw Shi Lin behind Shi Zhen.
"Uncle Fugui, what good stuff is it?" Shi Lin asked, intrigued.
Most of the good things that Fugui can bring back are the corpses of soul beasts, which are now the main material for Shi Lin to refine Gu worms.
If Fugui said that, he must have acquired something good.
Fugui smiled upon hearing this, then went to the carriage in the courtyard, carried a sack off, and went into the study.
Shi Lin curiously took the sack.
This sack is actually quite heavy!
Shi Lin carefully opened the burlap sack, and a foul, fishy smell wafted out.
"Poison!" Shi Lin exclaimed, looking up at Fugui in surprise.
"A 300-year-old swamp poison frog is quite an interesting thing. Since it's been dead for a while, I only spent two gold soul coins to buy it," Fugui said to Shi Lin with a smile.
"Uncle Fugui, this is indeed a good thing, but right now our family still needs to focus on the brewery, and I don't have much energy to refine other Gu worms for the time being. We need to produce as many wine Gu as possible," Shi Lin said to Fugui.
"Yes, young master, thank you for your understanding!" Fugui looked at Shi Lin with a face full of apology.
Although Fugui is a little embarrassed, the Shi family is indeed facing a shortage of working capital. There's nothing they can do about it; the Shi family has only started to rise in the last few years, and their foundation is still insufficient.
Moreover, the brewery should be nearing completion, so Shi Lin's main focus is on...
"Haha, we're family, what's the big deal?" Shi Lin said with a smile.
"Alright, you two are being too polite. Fugui, what Xiaolin said last time about the Xiao family having their eyes on us has been confirmed to be true, so I'm going to seek refuge with Yan Jin," Shi Zhen said earnestly to Fugui.
"Yes, sir, I'll go and book a restaurant right away!" Fugui nodded and said to Shi Zhen.
"Fugui, don't rush. Just arrange for a few clever people to do it. You should rest." Shi Zhen quickly stopped Fugui and said helplessly.
Fugui has just returned from a trip to the Soul Hunting Forest and needs to rest. There's no need for him to be alone. Although the Shi family doesn't have many servants, they have a few who are truly capable.
"Yes, sir!" Fugui nodded to Shi Zhen.
"Alright then, Fugui, let's invite Yan Jin to the biggest restaurant in Notting City first thing tomorrow morning. Write an invitation today and have it delivered to Yan Jin's house," Shi Zhen said, nodding to Fugui.
"No problem, sir. I'll go write the invitations right away and then arrange for someone to book a restaurant." Fugui nodded, then turned and left the study to make the arrangements.
"Dad, I'm going back too. I want to see what kind of Gu worms this toad can be made into." Shi Lin smiled at Shi Zhen, then laboriously hoisted the sack and walked towards his small courtyard.
Shi Zhen watched Shi Lin's retreating figure, then shook his head with a smile.
Soon, Shi Lin returned to his courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he threw the sack on the ground.
"As expected of a three-hundred-year-old soul beast, even though it's just a toad, it's grown this big." Shi Lin kicked the sack containing the swamp poisonous frog, then returned to his bedroom and took out some specially made tools.
Like the Ironclad Black Pig, not all parts of the Swamp Poison Frog can be used to refine Gu worms. The essence of the poison frog lies in its venom, so Shi Lin plans to extract the toxins from the Swamp Poison Frog and then use the toxins to refine Gu worms.
Shi Lin took the swamp poison frog out of the sack, and then carefully scraped out the toxins from the frog's back, gills, and all the venom sacs on its body with a small bamboo stick.
In his previous life, Shi Lin was a graduate student at an agricultural college. One of his classmates had a graduation thesis on toad venom, and he even helped scrape the toad venom out of his classmates.
So he is not rusty at all now.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin had collected all the venom from the swamp poison frog, filling an entire small wine jar, which was filled with a thick white paste.
It weighs at least two or three pounds!
However, this swamp poison frog had been dead for quite some time, and the venom that had been scraped out was already somewhat rotten, with an unusually pungent smell!
Helpless, Shi Lin could only take out another cotton mask and put it on his face so that he could no longer smell the poison.
"Next, we need to refine the Gu worms!" Shi Lin carefully covered the wine jar filled with venom.
After all, the swamp poison frog's venom is quite potent. He doesn't want to be poisoned by the swamp poison frog's toxins before he even starts refining the Gu worms.
After returning to his room, Shi Lin immediately summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron, preparing to use the no-longer-fresh toxins to refine Gu worms.
Shi Lin took out a wooden spoon and carefully scooped out the venom and poured it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron. Then he threw the bamboo worms that he had prepared earlier into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
As Shi Lin channeled his soul power, the white venom quickly turned dark green, and the bamboo worms within it twisted and struggled wildly, trying to break free from the Divine Wood King Cauldron!
However, they were destined never to leave from here.
A minute later, the green venom slowly evaporated, leaving behind only a somewhat disgusting-looking Gu worm.
The originally white and soft bamboo worms have now turned green, and their entire bodies are covered with green pustules.
It can only be described in one word!
That's disgusting!
"How did I end up with this thing?" Shi Lin frowned as he looked at the Gu worm inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron, not even considering reaching out to pinch the Gu worm out.
[Gu Insect: Swamp Poison Gu]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Top Grade]
[Functions: 1. After forming a contract, soul power can be used to activate the toxins on the Gu worms, with a kill range of approximately thirty meters; 2. One portion of swamp poison can be scraped off every five days]
[Description: This Gu worm is made from the venom of a 300-year-old swamp poisonous frog. Its toxins are potent and the swamp poison is extremely corrosive, capable of causing fatal damage to Soul Masters below level 30. However, the materials used in its creation are of poor quality, preventing the Gu worm from fully utilizing its power.]
[Note: Gu techniques can utilize more than just one type of insect.]
The swamp poison Gu is powerful, but the information in the description and notes clearly indicates that the method of refining this Gu is incorrect.
Moreover, it was pointed out that the insects were used incorrectly.
"Could it be that we need to use other insects to refine Gu worms? But what other insects are available?" Shi Lin stroked his chin and began to think.
"That's it! Frogs! Or toads!" Shi Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since the swamp poison frog is, after all, the meat of a toad-like soul beast, it is possible to try using similar creatures to refine Gu worms.
Thinking of this, Shi Lin carefully sealed the jar of toad venom, then left the room to catch some toads to refine Gu worms.
