Continued Story ch. 6 Refining the vital Gu

The Liquor worm was in the shape of a silkworm, and its entire body gave off a pearly white light. She was a little fat and had a cute appearance. The liquor worm feeds on wine and can fly. When it flew around, it curled up into a ball, and its speed was very fast. Although it was a rank one Gu, it deserved to be at least a rank two Gu.

Making it the vital Gus was a way more useful than Moonlight Gu.

Now the liquor worm was stuck to a bamboo pole only 50-60m away from Qing Shu. He was holding his breath, walking calmly, but slowly walking backwards.

He knew that the distance was very close, but to truly catch the Liquor worm was an incredibly difficult task for the Gu Master who had just awakened his Primordial Aperture. You could say, there was no hope of success. Qing Shu couldn't see the Liquor worm clearly, but in the darkness he felt the Liquor worm being vigilant towards him. He slowly slowed down gently, trying his best not to disturb the Liquor worm.

He knew that if the Liquor worm was to fly away, he wouldn't be able to catch it up with his own speed. He needed to wait for the Liquor worm to get drunk, and then as its speed slowed down, he would have a chance to catch it.

Seeing Qing Shu fade away, the Liquor worm decided to crawl onto the bamboo. The strong smell of wine was so alluring, so attractive, that the worm made it lose its determination. If it had saliva, it would have been drooling all over it.

But the Liquor worm was extremely cautious and vigilant. Only after Qing Shu took nearly 200 steps backward it did slightly shrink and jumped into the air. As it fluttered high in the air, its body curved into a ball to looked like a small white pearl. The little pearl swept the air in a circular arc, perched on the grass that had been sprinkled with green bamboo liquor earlier.

With delicious food right in front of her eyes, the Liquor worm dropped its defense. Eagerly it climbed onto the flower bud filled with some wine and it's little head popped out, leaving only it's plump tail outside. The green bamboo wine was too tasty for the liquor worm. It opened it's mouth wide and inhaled, too quickly absorbed in the delicious food, completely forgetting the young man in front of it.

At this moment, Qing Shu began to approach cautiously. He could see the tail of the liquor worm outside the flower bud. This tail was like the tail of a fat silkworm. The light emitted made people think of him as truly a pearl.

At first, the Liquor worm's tail was hanging out and unmoving, indicating its alertness and vigilance. Then after a while that tail started curling upward, indicating that he was really drinking happily. At the end when Qing Shu was only ten steps away, his tail started wagging and swaying in a cheerful rhythm.

The Liquor worm was completely drunk!

Seeing this, Qing Shu was almost about to laugh. He did not continue to walk forward, but waited patiently. If he had rushed over now, he would definitely have a great opportunity to catch the Liquor worm, but Qing Shu's intention was the same as Fang Yuan's. Letting the Liquor worm guide him to the Flower Wine Monk's remains.

In an instant the liquor worm withdrew from the flower bud. Liquor worm's body was fatter and it's head swayed, resembling a drunken man. Unexpectedly, it did not realize Qing Shu's presence. It stepped upon another bright yellow flower happily, warmly feeding on the drops of wine there.

This time after she finished drinking, she felt full. Liquor worm's body slowly shrunk into a round ball and slowly flew out. When it was 1.5 meters above the ground, she leisurely flew toward the deeper part of the bamboo forest.

Qing Shu quickly followed it and ran after the liquor worm.

The Liquor worm was already very drunk, causing it to fly half slower than it's usual speed. Even though that was the case, Qing Shu still had to run with all his strength to follow the liquor worm.

Once again the exercises and the training he did before the Awakening Ceremony helped him, as he had a long breath that he could catch up with the liquor worm and keep up with it's speed.

The night was in the middle of it while the young man was running into the bamboo forest, chasing an unprecedentedly small piece of snow.

[Hahahaha, it's really good that I raised my stamina. If not, then I can't continue.]

Qing Shu's faint shadow was advancing on the ground, passing through the shadows cast by each bamboo stalk on the ground like a black streak. He kept his gaze tightly on the Snow Pill, swallowed vast amounts of fresh mountain air, and commanded his legs to catch the worm in the midst of the faint smell of wine in the air.

Because of his speed, the moonlight looked like water in his eyes. The light and shadow moved repeatedly, as if he was running through the seaweed-filled water. The Liquor worm flew out of the Bamboo Forest, and so did Qing Shu.

Qing Shu was in hot pursuit, firmly following behind the Liquor worm. As the mountain stream went up, he could already hear the sound of a waterfalls. After he turned around a scattered forest, he saw the Liquor worm flying into a crevice in the middle of a boulder.

Qing Shu's eyes lit up and he stopped in his tracks.

[So he's here.] He was panting heavily, his heart pounding crazily. At this moment, he could feel that his entire body was covered in sweat, and the hot air rising all over his body accompanied by the rushing blood flow.

Looking around, he found that this place was a shallow land.

Pebbles of various sizes covered the ground, and the surface of the river barely covered the small stones. There were also blocks of gray rocks scattered freely in the area.

Behind Qing Mao Mountain was a huge waterfall. Underneath is a deep pond. Next to the profound pond was Bai Village.

The waterfall branched into many small branches, and Qing Shu was clearly facing one of the many branches. This was also one of the reasons that prevented him from searching for the cave directly.

Normally, this land was dry, but due to the recent heavy rain that lasted for three days and three nights, a shallow stream was formed here.

The source of the flowing current was from the huge boulder the Liquor worm had entered early on.

After observing his surroundings, Qing Shu's breathing was no longer anxious. His eyes flashed with a hint of determination; He walked over to the rock and took a deep breath, then rushed into the crevice.

The gap in the boulder was rather large, and two adults could walk side by side in it without any problems. With Qing Shu, who was just a 15 years old boy, he would definitely be able to enter.

As soon as he rushed over, fast currents pressed against Qing Shu's little body.

At the same time, cold water quickly drenched him from head to toe. Qing Shu fought against the pressure of the water, and took quick steps forward. As he walked a few dozen steps, the water pressure started to drop.

But the space in the crevice also started to shrink, and Qing Shu could only walk sideways. His ears were filled with trickling water, his head was a white sheet, and deeper in the rock was a black darkness.

What was he hiding in the dark?

He was cautiously advancing due to his knowledge that the Flower Wine Monk was from the Demonic Path. If he entered a trap prepared by a rank five Gu Master, he would definitely be dead. He was and after all not Fang Yuan.

But Qing Shu could only continue forward by walking sideways, slowly and cautiously heading towards the darkness.

The water no longer washed his head. The stone walls were covered in moss, rubbing his skin, making him slippery. Soon it was swallowed up by darkness, and the stone fissure became narrower, squeezing around it. Gradually until his skull could not rotate freely. Qing Shu still gritted his teeth and continued forward.

After walking twenty more steps, he realized that there was a red shadow of light in the darkness. At first, I thought it was just an illusion. But as he retreated and focused, he began to confirm that this was indeed something special! This realization made him rejuvenate his hopes and jump with joy.

He continued walking for another fifty to sixty steps, the red light growing brighter. In his eyes, the light slowly extended into a long, vertical and smooth contact. He stretched out his left arm, suddenly feeling that the front wall had bent. He immediately rejoiced, knowing that there was an enclosed space within the huge boulder. With a few more steps, he finally rushed into that light seam.

His eyes were finally greeted by the vast ocean view of nearly 80 square meters.

[I walked for a long time. At this distance, I had long passed the boulder, so I should be in the heart of the mountain slope now.]

The entire room was filled with a faint red light, but he couldn't tell where the light came from. The stone walls were damp and covered in moss, but the air here was extremely dry. On the walls there were also a few melted vines. Chrome intertwines with each other, woven across half the surface of the wall. There were even a few wilted flowers growing on the vines.

Qing Shu moved his line of sight along the vines, sure enough he spotted a pile of withered roots gathered into a ball-shaped mass at a corner. The liquor worm was lying on the dead roots, sleeping soundly. It was already at hand.

Qing Shu walked over and caught the Liquor worm in his arms. Then he got down on his knees and took off the dead vines, discovering a pile of skeletal bones inside.

[I've found you, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've been looking for you for a long time, Flower Wine Monk.] There was a smile on his lips when he saw it.

Just as he was about to put down his hand and strip off the remaining vines, suddenly <Don't try to touch it?> A voice filled with killing intent suddenly sounded behind Qing Shu.

Qing Shu was slightly terrified by the sharpness of the voice but he paid no heed to it, and continued what he was doing. Search for the 15 Primordial Stones in Monk Garments. Listen once to the displayed video. He began to refine the Liquor worm since it was drunk.

After only 12% of his primeval essence was left, Qing Shu stopped his refinement and started consuming essence stones, then completed the worm refinement after filling his primeval sea. He returned the ball about three times. Fortunately for him, the Liquor worm did not make any counterattack so the process went smoothly. But he had consumed 13 essence stones during that due to not waiting for the natural regeneration of his primeval sea lest the Liquor worm wake up from its drunkenness.

The operation was completed and Qing Shu gained his first Gu, vital Gu; Liquor worm.

[Hehehehe, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, my future is shining and getting thus more and more brighter.] From the depths of the cave a roaring laughter filled with various emotions, from confidence and arrogance to hope and wishful thinking, could be heard, causing one to shudder.
