Chapter 46 Soul Beast Refining Gu
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yu was startled when she saw Shi Lin with tears and snot streaming down his face, and asked him nervously.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's voice, Shi An quickly came to Shi Lin's side.
Lin Yu and Shi An looked at Shi Lin nervously.
"No...it's nothing...it's just...too pungent..." Shi Lin said shakily to the two people, his voice trembling as the coolness shot straight to the top of his head.
Although Shi Lin spoke, the two of them still looked at him with concern.
After more than ten minutes, Shi Lin finally calmed down, wiped the tears and snot from his face, and looked at Lin Yu with a helpless expression.
"Lin Yu, the wine produced by your soul skill is really refreshing. I feel like my skull is clear." Shi Lin took out a water pouch, washed his face, and said to Lin Yu.
"Young Master, I'm sorry." Lin Yu lowered her head and looked at Shi Lin shyly and nervously.
"It's alright, don't overthink it. I didn't consider the abnormality of the liquor you produced. But compared to bitter liquor, this is relatively better and still drinkable, although it has a strong aftereffect." After washing his face, Shi Lin wiped the water off his face with his clothes and said to Lin Yu with a smile.
Seeing that Shi Lin had returned to normal, Shi An breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to his seat, picked up a wooden stick, and continued to roast his dry rations.
After resting for a while, Shi Lin glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set.
"Brother An, Lin Yu, I'm going to arrange the night watch for tonight. I'll be on watch for the first half of the night, and Lin Yu will be on watch for the second half," Shi Lin said, clapping his hands.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Shi An and Lin Yu were both stunned.
"Young Master, how about I keep watch for the first half of the night, and Lin Yu keeps watch for the second half?" Shi An said to Shi Lin with a troubled expression.
Before setting off, Fugui instructed Shi An to take good care of Shi Lin.
"Brother An, tomorrow we're facing a Golden Horned Rhinoceros with nine hundred years of cultivation. You're the main force, and Lin Yu and I will just be supporting you. So you must get a good rest tonight. As for me, I'll get a good night's sleep after we get out of here," Shi Lin said to Shi An with a smile.
Shi An hesitated for a moment. What Shi Lin said was indeed right. Facing a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast, only by being in good condition could he protect Shi Lin's safety.
Shi An thought for a while, then nodded. He knew he wasn't very bright, so he would follow Shi Lin's instructions in everything.
Shi Lin was not a pleasure-seeking person, and at least now was not the time for pleasure. In order to hunt the nine-hundred-year-old golden-horned rhinoceros, Shi Lin had to keep Shi An in the best condition.
Otherwise, a nine-hundred-year-old rhinoceros soul beast is extremely dangerous, and could easily lead to the annihilation of Shi Lin's entire team!
"Young Master, how about I keep watch tonight? My fighting strength is too weak." Lin Yu frowned and whispered to Shi Lin.
"Now that you've absorbed a soul ring, you can contract three more Gu worms. In tomorrow's battle, Brother An will be the main force, then you, and finally me. In the latter half of the night, you should contract two more Silver Moon Gu and one Swamp Poison Gu. Practice using the Gu worms more." Shi Lin waved his hand and said to Lin Yu.
All three of us will be fighting tomorrow, so it's unrealistic to expect one person to stay on guard all night.
If Lin Yu were to keep watch for the first half of the night, she would definitely not wake Shi Lin. That's why Shi Lin asked himself to keep watch for the first half of the night, and then asked Lin Yu to keep watch for the second half.
"Okay." Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"You're awake. After you've eaten, you two should go back and rest. Get some rest; tomorrow will be a tough battle," Shi Lin said, waving his hand at the two of them.
Shi An and Lin Yu nodded, then silently ate their roasted rations, drank some water, and returned to the camp to rest.
The camp was simply built using nearby wood.
There was a shed where Shi Lin and the other two took off their fish-scale armor and, together with the nearby stones, built a small sleeping pod that could only accommodate one person. It was warm and safe to sleep inside.
After watching Lin Yu and Shi An each find a place to sleep, Shi Lin turned his attention to the bamboo forest in front of him.
After glancing around and confirming that there was no danger, he stood up and walked straight towards the edge of the bamboo forest, taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun.
In fact, Shi Lin had long wanted to use soul beasts to refine Gu worms, but he simply didn't have the means before.
The Shi family is, after all, a merchant family. It's not easy for them to even get their hands on a soul beast corpse, let alone a live one.
When they were deep in the bamboo forest, they had to be wary of various bamboo spirit beasts with a hundred years of cultivation, so they couldn't look for bamboo insect spirit beasts with cultivation.
Now that Lin Yu's soul ring problem has been solved, Shi Lin can also dig out some insects with cultivation levels on the outskirts of the bamboo forest.
Soon, Shi Lin arrived at the outer edge of the bamboo forest and carefully began to explore the bamboo, searching for bamboo insect-like soul beasts hidden inside.
As for the safety of the camp, Shi Lin released both of his Silver Moon Gu, so that he would receive a message immediately if there was any danger nearby.
Soon, Shi Lin found the insect inside a bamboo stalk. With a swift motion, he chopped the bamboo in half, then split it open with a small slit and pried it open with his knife, separating the bamboo into two halves.
Bamboo worm spirit beasts are much fatter than ordinary bamboo worms and also have a certain degree of aggression.
Just as the bamboo was split in two, a white bamboo worm, about the size of a palm and as thick as a wrist, flew out of the bamboo and rushed towards Shi Lin's face.
Shi Lin didn't stand on ceremony and directly summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron to block his way.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, the bamboo worm spirit beast flew directly into the Divine Wood King Cauldron and crashed into its bottom. Just as the spirit beast was about to struggle to get out of the cauldron, the Divine Wood King Cauldron released a special pressure, suppressing the worm at the bottom of the cauldron and making it unable to move.
"This is a bamboo-eating worm with ten years of cultivation, which can be considered an advanced version of the bamboo worm. It should be the most suitable worm for refining wine Gu. I'm quite lucky." Shi Lin recognized the soul beast in the cauldron through the transparent barrier on the edge of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
The Divine Wood King Cauldron is, after all, a Gu Dao artifact, capable of suppressing most insects, and even insect-type soul beasts with cultivation will have a certain degree of suppression ability.
Therefore, after the bamboo-eating insect entered the Divine Wood King Cauldron, it was quickly suppressed.
Shi Lin put the Divine Wood King Cauldron back into his body, and then continued to search for other bamboo insect-type soul beasts in the bamboo forest.
The Divine Wood King Cauldron has a small internal space that can only be used to store materials for refining Gu poison and insects.
