7 Brother, Your Gu Insect Is a Little Unconventional

Chen Qing took out his flute. "Senior Brother Zhou, to be honest, I've been studying music recently."

Zhou Ke said, "Junior Brother, are your thoughts so jumpy?"

'I told you about the cultivation of Grass Spirit Gu, why are you talking about music with me?'

Chen Qing laughed out loud. There was no other reason. The main reason was that Brother Wang's family's land was really easy to pick up for his grass darling's advancement!

After paying the 100 spirit stones membership fee, only by talking about his beloved brother could he heal the trauma in his heart.

Chen Qing said, "I've been studying music with Fellow Daoist Wang Ye recently. Speaking of my brother, I have endless things to say!"

…

After they kept chatting for an hour, the door opened, and a young man in his thirties walked out.

This person could not be said to be handsome, but he looked rather elegant in his luxurious clothes.

Chen Qing cursed in his heart.

No matter how he looked at him, the man wasn't pleasing to his eye.

As soon as Xiao Zhong went out, the cultivators on the waterside pavilion stood up in unison. "Greetings, Senior Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Zhong smiled, and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. Everyone has come from afar. Please forgive us for our lack of hospitality."

Everyone praised Xiao Zhong's sumptuous hospitality.

Xiao Zhong continued, "The first thing today is to welcome the new Junior Brother Chen!"

Chen Qing stood up. "Fellow Daoists, I am Chen Qing of Carefree Mountain's Cold Wave Cave."

Xiao Zhong said, "This Junior Brother Chen has just obtained the Grass Spirit Gu, he can take care of eight mu of Gu spirit grass a day.

"It's also impressive for one of us. Everyone, get to know each other better."

Chen Qing cupped his hands at everyone. "I was lucky. I was lucky."

'It is said that peers in the same industry are enemies, yet you still praise me like this?'

Was he trying to draw hatred to Chen Qing?

Xiao Zhong walked up to Chen Qing, and warmly introduced him to the participating cultivators.

When Chen Qing sat down again, Xiao Zhong made arrangements. "Alright, let's exchange our nurturing insights now."

As Chen Qing listened to the discussions around him, he began to have an idea.

According to them, nurturing Grass Spirit Gu was basically about luck.

Improving quality was basically the same as with other Gu insects: all kinds of materials were tested repeatedly until Grass Spirit Gu's quality could no longer be improved.

This was the most difficult part.

Because at this stage, Grass Spirit Gu was about to advance.

In other words, Chen Qing's Grass Spirit Gu was rank nine.

Rank nine Gu insects could turn into butterflies.

This step was extremely difficult, and required luck and financial resources.

Once Grass Spirit Gu advanced, it would turn into a butterfly, its quality would greatly increase, its abilities would greatly increase, and it would have unique abilities.

Those abilities were [characteristics].

Xiao Zhong's Grass Spirit Butterfly could greatly increase the quality of aquatic spirit plants. This was also the reason why there was a lotus pond in Xiao Zhong's courtyard.

Perhaps some people would say that it was not worth the membership fee if they thought about it carefully or asked other fellow daoists.

More importantly, Xiao Zhong had a handwritten letter in his hand.

That letter recorded the materials needed to raise the quality of the cultivator Grass Spirit Gu!

Previously, nurturing the Grass Spirit Gu was like finding a needle in a haystack, but with this letter, one had at least a general direction.

It narrowed down the range of cultivation materials.

This letter was the key that was worth 100 spirit stones.

Of course, it was only limited to improving the quality.

As for the materials for turning into butterflies, that was nonsense.

Materials could be tested one by one when raising quality, but the materials for advancement were different.

There might be a few types of materials needed for advancement!

It might well happen that you fed your Gu insect 100 different materials, but only three of them were actually necessary.

It was very likely that they did not even know what materials they needed.

As an official member who had paid the membership fee, Chen Qing was also given a handwritten letter.

Flipping it open, he saw it recorded the names of the materials used to grow the Grass Spirit Gu.

Lastly, there was a list of names. According to the statistics, the probabilities ranged from big to small.

What everyone cherished the most was this name list.

Among them, the highest ranking was actually the natural increase!

It took up a total of 20%!

In other words, the 20% increase was completely dependent on luck.

For example, when the Gu insect was tending to the spiritual field, it might've inadvertently eaten something to increase its strength.

As for the others, they could not take up even 10% of the total.

The probability ranged from large to small, listing no less than 30 materials:

King Solomon's seal1, Rehmannia, dry leather, dry wood, spirit wood liquid, yellow jellyfish, leaf of heavenly green2…

As for how to transform into a butterfly and the materials for advancement, nothing was not written.

Chen Qing glanced at it. Everyone was reading the letter in high spirits. Every time they saw some special material, their eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoists, I have a bold conjecture!

"Do you think it will be useful for me to use mica as an ingredient?"

As everyone's discussion became more and more intense, Chen Qing felt that he was a little out of place.

It was as if they were still discussing the process of doing the questions, but he already knew the answers.

How boring was this?

When Zhou Ke saw the excitement, he danced with joy. "How could I have forgotten about the spirit wood heart?

"Junior Brother Chen, do you think my spirit wood heart will have any miraculous effects?"

Chen Qing glanced at the Grass Spirit Gu in Zhou Ke's hand.

What a turtle3, he was actually asking for fire copper!

'Brother, this Grass Spirit Gu of yours is a little unique!'

"I think Grass Spirit Gu requires earth-, water-, and wood-attribute materials, the spirit wood heart might be useful."

'Brother, my condolences. You probably won't be able to guess it until you die.'

Zhou Ke said, "By the way, Junior Brother Chen, why don't you join our discussion?"

Chen Qing only felt that they were noisy.

"Maybe my Grass Spirit Gu was about to advance when I first contracted it?"

Suddenly, the four people sitting in front of the table fell silent.

Zhou Ke pondered for a moment, and said, "You're right. One that can manage about eight mu of land seems to be on the verge of advancement."

As soon as he said this, the four of them fell silent.

They had painstakingly spent thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones to nurture their Gu to this stage, but the other party was already preparing to advance when they first contracted!

Sensing the increasingly silent atmosphere, Chen Qing realized that their table could not integrate into the entire environment.

Just as they were in silence, Xiao Zhong's boy servant suddenly came over, and whispered in Chen Qing's ear, "My master invites you in for a chat after the meeting ends."

In the evening, Xiao Zhong talked about the cultivation of Grass Spirit Gu.

It was regarding a few possible cultivation routes for Grass Spirit Gu.

Yes, it was just a possibility.

The rambling lasted for an hour, but Chen Qing did not listen carefully. Soon, it was late at night.

As everyone dispersed, Chen Qing drank another cup of water and wine before a boy came.

"Daoist Chen, my master invites you in for a chat."
