Continued Story ch. 5 Worthiness

Next to the academy was a Gu room. And the Gu room wasn't that big. She was only 60 square meters in size.

"In the cultivation path of a Gu Master, Gu is the key to strength."

That's why at the end of the class, excited teenagers rushed towards the Gu room.

<Make a line, enter one by one> Some voices suddenly shouted; It was only natural that there were guards outside the Gu room. As a Grade A Gu room, Qing Shu was the first to enter the Gu room.

This room was a mysterious room. All four walls have holes. In each of these included square holes was another square hole. Each of the holes varies in size, some are large and some are small. The largest was no larger than a cooking pot, and the smaller holes were no less than a fist. It was just as described in the main story.

In many square holes, were all kinds of containers; There were gray stone basins, green jade dishes, exquisite grass cages, clay stoves and so on. These containers were preservatives for all kinds of Gu group. Without those containers, the clan would have had to feed all these Gu so that they wouldn't die.

Some Gu was silent, while some Gu made a lot of noise, creating chirping and other sounds. All these noises combined created some kind of symphony of life.

Qing Shu looked around, he was immediately aware that all the Gu in this room was only Rank 1.

Generally, a rank 1 Gu Master could only use rank 1 Gu. If they used the higher level Gu, these masters would need to pay an extremely high price. Additionally, Gu needs food. And the high cost of feeding a higher level Gu that a rank 1 Gu Master sometimes couldn't afford. Thus Gu Masters who were new, would always pick up rank 1 Gu as the first Gu to refine under special status.

Anyway there is great significance to the first Gu that the Gu Master refines, the Gu will become powerful for them, and their lives are bound together. If the vital Gu died, was damaged, or the Gu Master's bond was severed, the Gu Master would suffer a huge blow. It also symbolized the first Gu of the Gu Master as vital Gu.

[I will choose Moonlight Gu first and today I will refine my Liquor worm as my vital Gu. With my savings of 47 primeval stones and my A-grade talent, I don't need to worry.]

One of the upper layers of the holes in this wall contained a row of silver plates. In every painting there was a gu.

This crystal Gu had formed like a crescent. It was like a piece of blue quartz. Against the background of the silver plate, the Gu gave off a calm and beautiful feeling.

This variety of Gu was known as Moonlight Gu and was popular in the Gu Yue clan and many clansmen would choose Moonlight Gu as their vital Gu. Moonlight Gu was not made in or of nature; It was a bloodline that had been secretly cultivated by the Gu Yue clan. Moonlight Gu could not be found anywhere else; It could be said that this Gu was a symbol of the Gu Yue clan.

…

Qing Shu went to find the Liquor worm at the beginning of the night. Of course, he brought green bamboo wine with him to lure Gu. After reaching the outskirts of the village, he disappeared somehow like he were a ghost.

In the history of the Gu Yue clan, everyone talked a lot about the hero the fourth clan head.

Unfortunately, he sacrificed himself to protect his people and fought a Gu Master of the same rank as the Flower Wine Monk. Although he defeated the Flower Wine Monk after a fierce battle, he left the demon on his knees and begged for mercy.

In the end, he was careless and betrayed by a sneak attack by the Flower Wine Monk. The fourth clan head angrily slathered the flower wine monk, but due to his severe injuries he died an early death.

This tragic incident has continued for a long time until today, becoming a popular story among the Gu Yue clan. However, Qing Shu knew that this story was not the same, due to his knowledge of the main story.

Now, the night became thicker, the spring moon formed like a bow. Clouds obscured the moonlight, as if covering the crescent moon with a thin layer of thin cloth.

As the rain had just ended after lasting for four days and three nights, the mist formed between the mountains had been washed away, leaving behind the purest air. This fresh air was as clear as a piece of white paper, and it was more effective in spreading the scent of wine around. This was the number one reason why Qing Shu was filled with confidence tonight.

In the Bamboo Forest the grass was luxurious, the white flowers were endless and the green bamboo spears were straight like a pencil, and the forest looked like a group of jade rods.

Qing Shu opened the jar seal, and the aroma of thick wine was immediately released. Green bamboo wine can be said as the first wine in Gu Yue Village. This was the third reason for Qing Shu's confidence. It can be said that Qing Shu have full filled the conditions to lure the liquor worm.

[Must be in this area] Qing Shu exclaimed in his heart as he slowly tilted the wine jar, pouring the wine, dripping it onto the stone. He was indifferent with the fact that this wine was worth 2 full primeval stones after all.

The fragrant scent spreads quickly at night. The breeze was gentle, and the faint scent floated and polluted the bamboo forest.

This was the spot I suspected most when he began his search for the right spot just before the Awakening Ceremony.

Qing Shu stood in his position, sensing the smell of wine. He waited for a while, but he didn't see any movement.

All he heard was a violent sound in the distance, sounding like a series of bells. He was silent. Feeling slightly worried, he turned away, walked to a place a few hundred meters away and did as Fang Yuan did.

At this place he did the same, pouring a few drops of wine and waiting at once.

He did the same thing over and over, turning away from several different locations, where he was dripping wine several times. After all, there was very little green bamboo left in the jar.

[This is the last jar and the last spot] Qing Shu sighed. Tilting the jar of wine. Pour all the wine into the jar. He sprinkles wine on the lawn, letting the green grass sway. Wildflowers are smeared with wine, and they are slightly lowered their heads like they were drunk.

Qing Shu stood a few meters away with a glint of hope in his eyes. He stared around intently and tried to sense any changes taking place. Now the night was already very deep. A thick cloud pulled out the moonlight. The dark shadows were like a curtain covering the bamboo grove. Deadly silence was everywhere, all the strands of the green spear bamboo standing alone, leaving behind a group of lines that were straight up and down shining on Qing Shu's face.

He stood quietly in place, listening to his clear breathing. Then he felt anxiety invade his heart.

[Did you fail after all.] His heart muttered, [Have I failed because of Heaven's Will's scheme? I can't even see the liquor worm's shadow. This means that in the future the success rate will be lower. At the moment I don't have time to continue searching, I still need to refine Moonlight Gu.]

The end result of taking the risk was often unsatisfactory. But when the result is perfect, the benefits will be great. Qing Shu liked to take risks, but he was not addicted to gambling, nor was he someone bent on betting on what he had lost. He had his own limits, and he knew about his abilities. Other than that, since he was a scientist on earth, he always said to himself that everything has its beautiful time, and doing things on time increases their beauty.

But for now, his intuition told him, it was time to stop.

Sometimes life was like that. There was often one goal that seemed complete and full of temptation. It feels very close with a lot of twists and turns, but the goal is not achieved. This makes people feel anxious and think about it day and night.

[This is the powerlessness of life, but it is also the magic of life] Qing Shu laughed bitterly, and moved to walk away.

At this moment a gust of gentle breeze blew like a gentle arm holding a brush painting the radiant moon. The clouds moved to reveal the hidden moon. The crescent moon was hanging in the sky like a white jade lamp, pouring moonlight that was as clear as water on the ground. Moonlight stretched over the bamboo forest, and spilled onto Qing Shu's body.

Qing Shu stopped walking unconsciously, and he felt as if he was in a heavenly land. He was already about to leave, but at this moment he unconsciously looked around with hope.

The group of wildflowers and grass he had poured his last sips of wine on gently shivered in the wind, remaining empty. Qing Shu laughed and sighed bitterly.

However. And unexpectedly in the process of turning away, he saw a drop of white snow.

This grain of snow was stuck to a bamboo pole not far away. Under the moonlight it was like a round pearl. Qing Shu's eyes widened wildly, his body trembling slightly. His heart started beating faster every second.

It was a liquor worm!

[If one doesn't take chances, they won't have what they deserve later] Qing Shu said ecstatically.
