Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 94 Refining Gu Mutation

The sun is shining brightly and the sea is sparkling.

Su Mu set off from Huoxi Island and drove a first-order spirit boat to wander aimlessly on the sea. Not long after, he discovered an island reef.

This island reef looks like a huge mushroom from a distance, covered with colorful coral reefs, which is so beautiful.

In fact, this is the third coral reef Su Mu has found.

Although he found several kinds of monster insects on the first two coral reefs, they were not the ones Su Mu wanted.

This time, the six-winged golden butterfly Gu he wants to refine must first be refined from the mother Gu, and then the mother Gu will give birth to the iron butterfly Gu.

"The distribution of monster insects here is far more than I imagined. I don't believe that I can't find suitable Gu embryos."

So Su Mu decided to go to the island to find out.

He cautiously approached the island and carefully inspected his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a withered yellow leaf, seemingly casually falling on a stone. However, just when Su Mu wanted to ignore the dead leaf, he found that the leaf moved slightly.

His heart was shocked, and he immediately realized that this leaf was probably a cunning insect in disguise.

Su Mu secretly summoned his consciousness and carefully observed the insect disguised as a dead leaf. Under the detection of spiritual consciousness, the insect had nowhere to hide and revealed its true face.

Its whole body is covered with fine golden scales, its body is like a butterfly, its wings are as thin as cicada wings, and it shines with a strange light.

According to the secret law silk book, if you want to refine mother voodoo, the selected voodoo embryo must be shaped like a butterfly.

Although this insect may not necessarily meet the Gu embryo he needs, it is still the first butterfly-like insect he has found, and it still has certain research value.

From the other party's clever hiding techniques, Su Mu knew that the insect was extremely cunning and could escape if he was not careful.

He quickly took out the first-order high-grade magic weapon, the Rain and Dew Spirit Net, from his backpack.

Last time, he used this magic weapon to net those fire crows. Although the spiritual net was roasted by the power of the earth fire of the Fire Crow King and suffered some damage, the spiritual net was woven from a kind of spiritual silk. The mesh is fine, just enough to capture small bugs like this.

Su Mu suddenly threw the spiritual net towards the insect, like a rain curtain, covering it instantly.

The cunning insect struggled desperately in the rain and dew spiritual net, trying to escape. However, the tenacity of Yululingnet far exceeds its imagination.

Su Mu carefully retracted the spiritual net and captured the insect alive.

"This is the first zerg. However, if you want to refine it into mother Gu, you need to prepare at least nearly a hundred of them."

Although the specific refining methods are written down step by step in the secret silk book, each refining of Gu is uncontrollable.

Gu masters with better luck may be able to refine the desired mother Gu in three or four times. But if you are unlucky, it is common to fail more than a dozen times.

Su Mu had never refined Gu embryos, so he could only follow the example, so he could only make adequate preparations.

Fortunately, there are not many similar bugs here, it just takes a little more time to collect them.

It took nearly half a month for Su Mu to finally collect enough zerg to be refined five times.

Before refining the Gu, he took out a container and the various materials needed.

This kind of container has three legs and two ears. It looks like an alchemy furnace, but it can actually be used as a Gu refining altar.

The rest of the materials were prepared by him in stages and were not purchased at once, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

He first put the materials in the altar and ignited them. After a while, a special smell filled the Gu refining altar in front of him.

It is strange to say that this smell and cloud smoke only floated in the altar and did not spread outside.

Afterwards, Su Mu put all sixteen worms into the Gu refining altar. They happened to be half male and half female, and they were separated to one side.

Led by this special smell, insects of the same gender caught in pairs and began to fight hard.

After three rounds, there is only one male and one female left.

At this time, the insect's shape was more beautiful than before, and its aura was more powerful.

However, getting to this point is only a small part of the success.

At this time, Su Mu removed the partition in the altar. As soon as the male and female smelled each other's scent, the atmosphere in the altar began to become charming.

They were already intertwined without Su Mu's guidance.

Su Mu uttered incantations and kept making secrets in his hands.

I saw a ball of light condensed from his true energy surrounding the two insects, forming a cocoon of light.

Seeing the light cocoon becoming more and more round and smooth, Su Mu felt extremely excited.

Could it be that my luck is off the charts, or that I am the one-of-a-kind Gu refining wizard who succeeded on the first try.

Perhaps due to a slight fluctuation in his state of mind, the cocoon of light was not fully formed and simply shriveled up like a deflated balloon.

When the light cocoon dissipated, the original pair of insects had long since disappeared.

The first time to refine Gu, failed!

Su Mu summarized his experience, took a short rest, and started again for the second time.

Unfortunately, the second time of refining Gu also ended in failure. This time, before even reaching the last step, the Gu embryo in front died of exhaustion.

The third time of refining Gu still failed.

Even Su Mu, who was originally in a good mood, still felt a little uncomfortable after failing three times in a row.

Not to mention the difficulty of collecting zerg, the materials required for each refining of Gu start from thousands of spirit stones.

If Su Mu didn't have both spiritual stones and leisure, he really wouldn't be able to practice it.

Ordinary qi-training monks would be heartbroken half to death if they failed to do so once.

Now that the materials have been prepared, is it possible that I have stopped practicing because I am afraid of failure?

This is not Su Mu's style.

So, Su Mu started his fourth attempt.

Before starting, Su Mu checked all the bugs and selected the sixteen that were in the best condition.

Moreover, he also found the spiritual grass that these insects like to eat, and adjusted their condition to the best.

After doing this, he calmed down, just like the first time, regardless of whether it was success or failure, and tried to calm himself down.

The insects began to fight against each other, with the winner eating flesh and blood, and the loser dying without a complete body.

When the male and female insects intertwined, Su Mu recited a spell and kneaded the secret to form a cocoon of light.

Su Mu slowly stopped until the light cocoon was as smooth as new, plump and even.

At this time, sweat slid down Su Mu's forehead and cheeks.

"Is it done?" Su Mu muttered in his mind.

Suddenly, the light cocoon began to beat violently, and the brilliance covering it showed signs of collapse.

"How to do?"

Su Mu held his breath. He remembered that the silk book did not mention what to do in this situation.

Finally, he simply put his consciousness into it, wanting to see what was going on in the light cocoon.

However, when his consciousness wanted to get in, it was directly blocked by the light cocoon outside and could not go any deeper.

"In this case, we can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor."

Su Mu is not a person who gives up easily.

Victory was in sight, but he was just one step away. How could he let it go and let it fend for itself? He took out hundreds of spirit stones from his storage bag, crushed them directly, and spread them near the light cocoon.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the Gu refining altar suddenly increased a lot, but it still could not prevent the light cocoon from disintegrating.

Su Mu rummaged through his storage bag and found that there was nothing in it that he could use.

At this time, he had an idea and wondered if the mother Gu was lacking blood food.

For most Gu worms, one of the reasons why they are so overwhelming is that they are difficult to hurt with swords, but they are thirsty for blood and flesh.

Once they are released, they must eat flesh and blood.

"Hey, the bodies of those fire crows were all given to Su Xian to take back. Where can I find them in such a hurry!"

In desperation, Su Mu could only forcefully squeeze out his own blood.

Anyway, he tried every method he could think of. If not, just stop the loss in time.

Originally, Su Mu had this mentality and tried to save him again. Unexpectedly, the blood penetrated directly from the light cocoon as soon as it dropped.

"It seems okay!"

As Su Mu slowly dripped blood, the light cocoon's movements became lighter and lighter, and finally stabilized.

Anyway, Su Mu's Qi and blood are strong, so if he loses some, he won't feel any discomfort at all.

After a while, the light cocoon began to bloom with dazzling light and floated in the altar.

The spiritual energy in the altar was almost absorbed.

As the light dissipated, a fine line appeared on the light cocoon.

There are more and more fine lines, like mottled spider webs on the wall.

Finally, the light cocoon faded away, and what looked like a rusty demon butterfly appeared on the spot.

Is this the mother Gu?

Su Mu was a little confused. In his opinion, the female Gu had to have a small head and a big body, so that she could lay more eggs.

However, Su Mu could vaguely sense that there seemed to be a blood-water connection between himself and the demon butterfly.

"Is it because I sacrificed my own blood that it mistakenly recognized me as its master?"

Su Mu's understanding of Gu refining actually came from the secret method of the silk book, which was actually very superficial.

Therefore, he seemed to have only a half-understanding of some common knowledge about Gu refining.

"No matter what, this is the mother Gu I made anyway. Even if there is a mutation, I will admit it!"

The mother Gu, which looked like a demon butterfly, flew out of the Gu refining altar and flew up and down next to Su Mu, acting very affectionately.

Su Mu teased it for a while and found that the aura of the mother Gu was roughly that of a first-level mid-level.

However, apart from flying, it doesn't appear to have any combat capabilities.

However, judging from its appearance, it seems to be quite intelligent.

So, Su Mu put it into the prepared spirit beast bag to rest.

"For the last time, let's just refine it together."

After a relatively successful experience, Su Mu felt that he had found the trick to refining Gu.

Just when he was full of confidence, reality gave him another loud slap in the face.

Even if he followed the gourd's example, his fifth attempt to refine the Gu still ended in failure!

Was it just a coincidence that it was successful?

Su Mu not only fell into reflection.

In fact, it really made Sumu the blind cat meet the dead mouse.

If he hadn't used his own blood at the last moment, it would have been a fool's errand to practice the Mother Gu in just five attempts.

You know, almost all of his body fluids contain innate energy.

This is something that most sentient beings do not have.

With the innate Qi, the mother Gu was finally able to be refined, and some mutations also occurred.

However, these changes will have to be slowly understood and studied by Su Mu in the future.

In the next month, apart from practicing, drawing talismans, and teasing the Demonic Butterfly Gu, Su Mu returned to his leisurely days.

Finally, a few days before the arrival of the Su family monks, the demon butterfly mother Gu gave birth to hundreds of insect eggs at once.

After laying the eggs, the mother Gu fell into a deep sleep again.

According to the secret method recorded in silk scripts, a mother voodoo like this will lay almost seven or eight batches of eggs, ranging from dozens to dozens each time.

After seven or eight batches, the mother Gu will be extinct.

It can be said that the greatest function of mother Gu like this is actually to give birth to Gu insects, which is also their mission.

After harvesting so many insect eggs, Su Mu was a little overwhelmed.

Every time a Gu insect is cultivated, real money and silver are spent on it.

It is precisely because of the amount of spiritual stones and energy invested that the Gu insect's strength will leap forward.

Having so many Gu insects all at once is really a blessing!

If the Guo family knew that Su Mu was bothered by the mother voodoo giving birth to so many eggs at once, they would have to beat him to death.

They have obtained this secret book for decades at least.

Over the years, their direct lineage has secretly tried more than a dozen times, but not to mention the eggs, not even the mother Gu has been refined yet!

If not, how could this silk book be stolen by that unlucky guy?

Originally, he planned to take the silk book and see if he could go to Qingxuanmen to exchange for a foundation-building pill. Who would have expected that Qingxuanmen also knows the goods. The appraiser concluded that it was too difficult to refine the mother Gu. It would be more cost-effective to use spiritual stones to fill this hole than to use them to train disciples.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an advantage for Su Mu.

Moreover, he was asked to refine it.

Although the cost of cultivating them in the future is equivalent to that of a gold-swallowing beast, their power is obvious to all.

It can be said that with this mother Gu, the Su family can almost travel sideways in the Star Luo Islands.

At this time, Su Mu obviously did not realize this.

He put the eggs into the spirit beast bag and let them hatch on their own.

Because, the Su family will be busy again.

With the arrival of the Hailing treasure ship, Huoxi Island, which was originally quiet and deserted, suddenly became lively.

Yan Ziling and her three children must be the first wave of candidates to join Su Mu.

There was also good news coming with them, that is, the second daughter Su Nuo also tested positive for spiritual root aptitude.

Although Su Nuo also has a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, she only has a single spiritual root of the fire attribute, which is not as good as Su Yan's dual spiritual roots of wood and water.

Now, she has begun to practice with Su Yan, but the time is still short and she has not successfully entered the first level of Qi training.

As soon as there were more people in the tribe, they yelled at Su Mu to quickly name the three mountains.

Su Mu thought for a moment and named the one in the middle Cuiping Peak, the one with the Earth Fire Spirit Point Dandai Peak, and the one with the waterfall on the right called Biluo Peak.
