Chapter 3 (1/2)

After obtaining the Gu eggs, Fang Yuan returned to his residence and began to concentrate on his cultivation.

He randomly picked a Gu egg and placed it in his acupoint, using his own spirit essence to feed it.

The purpose of this was to let them familiarize with his aura and strength before they were born, to form a good impression of him, and to prevent them from betraying their master right after hatching.

[Ding, you have successfully hatched a Black Iron grade Gu worm — Drunken Gu!]

After half a day of nurturing, the first Gu worm finally hatched.

It was not a dead worm!

Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

He began to inspect the condition of the few Gu worms.

Hmm?

Why was it sleeping?

Didn’t the system say that it would cultivate automatically?

Just as he was puzzled, his acupoints suddenly shook, and a huge suction force came from the Drunken Gu.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the spirit essence in his acupoints was swept away like they were being sucked in by a whale!

This sudden unexpected situation gave Fang Yuan a fright.

If this continued, wouldn’t he be sucked dry right away?

Fortunately, the Drunken Gu’s state did not last long.

As more than half of the spirit essence in his body was absorbed by it, its body began to emit a gentle light.

In the end, like a singularity explosion, its body suddenly expanded countless times, from a larva the size of a grain of rice to an adult worm the size of a thumb.

At the same time, the system notification sounded in its mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your Drunken Gu has successfully broken through! You have obtained the ‘Wine Making’ skill!]

[Your Drunken Gu has started cultivating, current progress: 1%!]

“So you can only cultivate automatically after reaching tier one.”

Fang Yuan realized this later, and at the same time, he was glad that he was not rash and tried to hatch three Gu worms at once.

If he really did that, he would probably be a dried corpse now.

There were still two Gu eggs left.

He had no choice, and he could only take out two primeval stones and hold them, absorbing the spirit essence inside.

The green light entered his arm through his palm and flowed along his meridians towards his acupoints.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes after the two primeval stones had lost their luster.

He looked at the already wasted primeval stones with some heartache.

The efficiency of directly absorbing the spirit essence inside primeval stones was very low.

It could be said that he did not even use one tenth of the value of one primeval stone.

In order to hatch the remaining two Gu eggs, Fang Yuan had spent a lot of capital.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. On the afternoon of the second day, Fang Yuan finally hatched all the Gu worms and let them enter the state of automatic cultivation.

Taking advantage of the time to rest, he began to check the condition of the few Gu worms.

[Your Drunken Gu sensed that its master’s physical fitness was relatively weak. After a day of bitter cultivation, it produced good wine and gave it to its master. Production Progress 100%!]

Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Fine wine?

Then he took a look.

[Spirit Wine LVL 1] : after drinking the fine wine, one’s physique can be permanently increased to a certain degree.

It can actually increase one’s physique?

This was beyond Fang Yuan’s expectations.

He originally thought that it was just a wine that could temporarily restore one’s spirit essence, but he did not expect it to have such a good effect.

Without saying a word, he drank it directly!

As the spicy wine entered his throat, a cool feeling spread throughout his body.

Soon, a layer of black mud appeared on his skin, as if the impurities in his body had been cleaned out.

Fang Yuan felt as if he had soaked in a mint bath. His whole body felt comfortable, and it was the kind of feeling that came from the inside out.

“Unfortunately, the quantity is a little small.”

Fang Yuan smacked his lips.

The Drunken Gu could only produce a few tens of milliliters at a time, and it would be gone after one sip.

The increase in physique was also very limited.
