Chapter 28 New Gu Worm - Golden Silkworm (Two-in-One Cup)

Zhou Qing put a Gu Stone into the grid cluster where the golden silkworm was.

The golden silkworms that emerged from their cocoons all crawled towards the Gu Stone and soon surrounded it.

"Puff!"

Qingsi Gu said, 'These are all mine, mine! '

"Don't be so stingy! If these silkworms can spit out better silk, I will have more money, my strength will increase faster, and I can help you enter the pond earlier to get more Gu Stones."

Zhou Qing advised.

"Puff puff." Qingsi Gu was successfully persuaded.

"I didn't expect the Gu Worm to be so spiritual, and sometimes it's quite troublesome."

Zhou Qing secretly complained in his heart that he had to discuss things with Qingsi Gu.

Of course, with his control over Qingsi Gu, he could take tough measures, but this would inevitably affect their relationship.

Under the condition that it would not affect himself, what he wanted was a partner who would make progress together, not a completely obedient servant.

After all, Qingsi Gu was just a Gu Worm, not a hot and beautiful silkworm girl.

"Pah."

"Pah."

At this time, the golden silkworms wrapped around the Gu Stone suddenly changed. A large number of golden silkworms fell down stiffly, motionless, and looked dead.

Zhou Qing went forward to check, picked up a stiff golden silkworm and put it in his palm.

The originally soft golden silkworm had hardened, and it felt like it was frozen when it was pinched, with a cold feeling.

"Pah."

"Pah."

More and more golden silkworms died, reaching hundreds of them.

He noticed that the six golden silkworms in the innermost were still alive, lying firmly on the surface of the Gu Stone.

"Hmm?"

The hard Gu Stone seemed to melt, and the six golden silkworms actually drilled into the middle of the Gu Stone, and finally all of them were motionless.

Zhou Qing waited for a while, but the golden silkworms still did not move.

"Erqing, leave it to you."

Zhou Qing looked at the hundreds of dead golden silkworms, and in accordance with the principle of not wasting, let Qingsi Gu eat them all.

[Progress: Maturity (510/800)]

After eating hundreds of golden silkworms, the growth progress of the Green Silk Gu increased by 15 points.

"Puff~" The Green Silk Gu looked at the Gu Stone in Zhou Qing's hand, very eager.

"Here you go."

Zhou Qing took out a Gu Stone and put it on the wooden rack.

The Green Silk Gu jumped up with a whoosh, opened its body, and lay on the Gu Stone.

The silk cocoons that were still a little agitated all returned to calm.

"Ah Qing, it's time to eat!"

At this time, the voice of the old lady came from the main house.

"I'm here." Seeing that the silkworm room had returned to calm, Zhou Qing locked the door and returned to the main house.

Entering the main house, there were three dishes and a soup on the table.

"It's so rich!"

Two meat dishes, a roast duck and a plate of stir-fried pork with peppers, the vegetarian dish was scrambled eggs with green onions, and the soup was green vegetable and tofu soup.

"You have to eat better when practicing martial arts, and it just so happens that the green onions and green vegetables I planted are growing well."

The old lady smiled and picked up a large piece of scrambled eggs for Zhou Qing.

"It smells so good." Zhou Qing ate his meal in big mouthfuls.

The old lady had opened up a vegetable plot on the west side of the yard opposite the silkworm house, where she planted shallots and green vegetables.

She had originally planned to raise some more hens to lay eggs, but Zhou Qing stopped her on the grounds that it might scare the silkworms.

Although the old lady didn't want to be idle, he didn't want her to be too tired.

And raising chickens in the yard would be very smelly.

Now the old lady has to help him take care of the silkworms every day. When the silkworms start to spin silk and make cocoons, she is not idle either. She sits in the yard to make shoe soles. When it's time to reel silk, she will help reel silk.

Otherwise, Zhou Qing would definitely be very busy.

After a full meal, Zhou Qing rested for a while and practiced the White Cloud Palm in the yard.

Soon, it was completely dark.

Zhou Qing took out the meat he had received in advance from the martial arts hall, cooked it and ate it in one bite.

When he felt hot all over, he came to the yard again to exercise the qi and blood in his chest.

He moved the blood and qi to his palms, and his palms suddenly swelled and turned gray.

"Swish!"

"Swish——"

The palm movement was not fast, but it brought gusts of palm wind.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Qing felt that the heat in his body had completely disappeared. This was the result of the complete exhaustion of the effect of the meat meal.

He remembered that when he first ate the meat meal eight days ago, the effect of the medicine lasted for half an hour.

This time it was only half an hour.

Double the difference!

The blood and qi in the chest can break through the skin barrier when it reaches the thickness of two fingers. To break through the meat barrier, the amount of blood and qi must reach the number of a fist, and the blood and qi must be circulated to the muscles throughout the body to achieve the effect of muscle training.

Before Zhou Qing broke through the skin barrier, the effect of the meat meal on him was immediate.

After breaking through the skin barrier, four pieces of meat a day were no longer enough.

It was not that the effect of the meat was weakened, but that the body's demand for blood and qi increased.

[Skill: White Cloud Posture]

[Progress: Proficient (86/800)]

[Skill: White Cloud Poison Palm]

[Progress: Entry (265/800)]

[Effect: Poisoning, Toxin Resistance]

White Cloud Posture has entered the proficient stage, and the training method has been mastered. Zhou Qing began to learn the fighting method, which is the White Cloud Poison Palm that is truly used in combat.

The combination of White Cloud Posture and White Cloud Poison Palm is the real White Cloud Palm.

However, practicing the training method and the fighting method at the same time slowed down the progress.

In particular, Baiyun Zhuang is a training method that focuses on strengthening the qi and blood of the whole body, so the progress is slowed down. If you practice for half a day before and eat meat, you can increase the progress by 35-40 points.

Now only 10 points of progress can be added.

Baiyun Poison Palm is in the introductory stage, and the progress is increasing rapidly. On average, half a day of practice can increase the progress by 30 points.

It is equivalent to dividing the progress of the previous skill into two skills, neither increasing nor decreasing.

However, when Baiyun Poison Palm also enters the proficiency stage, the progress may really slow down.

It is true that the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts are like this.

For people from poor backgrounds, reaching the Skin Refining Realm is already a good life.

If you want to break through the physical level of the second level, you need a lot more resources.

Zhou Qing is very skilled in raising silkworms and can earn six to ten taels of silver a month, which is already a very high income for ordinary people.

But this little money is still far from enough for martial arts training.

"I need more meat, more blood!"

Zhou Qing clenched his fists.

It’s still a word for money.

You have to make more money to buy more meat from the martial arts gym.

"Just practicing martial arts requires such a huge expense. I really don't know how expensive it is to practice as a Gu master."

Zhou Qing sighed.

Cultivating a powerful Gu insect is probably much more difficult than practicing martial arts.

"To me, that's not bad."

The death of his parents is full of doubts, and the unknown world of Gu masters is too dangerous for him.

Just in Black Wind Mountain, there is a large area that has been shrouded in miasma all year round, waiting for him to explore.

What's more, there are even larger Huanglong Mountains and Jiulian Mountains nearby, as well as the Qilian Mountains, which stretch thousands of miles and are boundless mountains.

Zhou Qing may not be able to explore even ten or two of them in his entire life, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

"The caves and cold pools discovered today can be used as my base in the mountains, but the hidden dangers must be resolved first."

Zhou Qing's eyes gradually became deeper.

If you are close, you have to deal with Zhang Jian's troubles, and if you are far, you have to deal with the Gu insects in the cold pool.

Strength is needed, both near and far.

"Huh~" Zhou Qing let out a long breath, changed out of his sweaty clothes, took a shower with cold water, and then returned to the silkworm room to sleep.

The next day, Zhou Qing went up the mountain to collect mulberry early to prepare food for the next batch of silkworm eggs that were about to be born.

The green silk Gu is still absorbing the power of the Gu stone in the silkworm room, so Zhou Qing did not go above the mountainside today.

However, he was lucky and shot a hare to death with a sleeve arrow without quenching poison.

The hare is far less valuable than the snow hare, but it can still be sold for thirty cents, mainly because the rich and wealthy families in the town have such a good one.

Thirty cents can buy more than a pound of pork.

Thinking about it, more than a month ago, he could not afford two liters of old rice for one liter of three cents. He had to buy brown rice and drink bran wild vegetable soup.

There is simply one heaven and one underground.

Zhou Qing carried a basket and a hare, and first went to the Baiwei Building in Changle Lane and sold the hare for thirty-two cents.

Later, he went to the food stall at the entrance of Baiweilou and ordered two bowls of tofu curd and eight fried cakes.

Halfway through the meal, She Quanyi also came to the food stall.

"Ah Qing." Seeing Zhou Qing, She Quanyi's eyes lit up and she stepped forward.

"Boss, give Uncle She two more bowls of tofu and eight fried cakes." Zhou Qing shouted to the owner of the food stall.

"Okay." The boss quickly delivered the tofu curd and fried cakes.

"Uncle She, thank you very much for yesterday. How is your health?" Zhou Qing cupped his fists and saluted, returning the whistle to She Quanyi.

"I'm much better after a good sleep. I'm relieved to see you're fine." She Quanyi breathed a sigh of relief and took the whistle.

"How's it going?" She Quanyi lowered his voice.

"Going up through the bamboo forest, there is indeed a wine spring, but the water in it is not drinkable." Zhou Qing whispered.

He did not tell She Quanyi the specific location, after all, it was not within the scope of the transaction.

And that place was safe for him, but fatal to She Quanyi.

"I understand." She Quanyi did not ask any more questions.

The two fell into a brief silence and ate the pancakes.

There were more and more mountain people, and they started talking about recent events on the mountain.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Qing paid and was about to leave when he saw a horse-faced man approaching menacingly.

The person coming was none other than Zhang Jian.

When She Quanyi saw this, his expression changed.

Just as he was about to stand up, Zhou Qing held his shoulders and walked towards Zhang Jian.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhou." Zhang Jian forced a smile on his face when he saw Zhou Qing blocking him inside.

"Manager Zhang has invited me." Zhou Qing clasped his fists.

"Brother Zhou, what do you mean?" Zhang Jian frowned.

"I can't control other people's affairs, but you can't cause trouble for Uncle She!" Zhou Qing had a tough attitude.

"So this is what gives you the confidence to delay time?" Zhang Jian looked at She Quanyi with a bad tone.

"Zhou Qing, if I call you Brother Zhou to give you face, you don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"

"You can try it!" Zhou Qing raised his right hand, and his palm instantly swelled and turned as gray as a bluestone.

"Piguan!"

"Skin Refining Warrior?!"

Some mountain people who were not aware of this were surprised.

"We are both skin refining warriors, do you really want to be my enemy?!" Zhang Jian's face was as dark as water, "The Zhao family is not someone you, a silkworm farmer, can mess with!"

"Baiyun Martial Arts School is not someone to be trifled with!"

Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.

"You can't represent the Zhao family, and I can't represent the Baiyun Martial Arts School. If you don't accept it, you can fight!"

"Good! Good! Good! You are so cruel, let's wait and see!" Zhang Jian sneered and said three good words in a row. Seeing that he couldn't scare Zhou Qing, he didn't bother. He turned around and left after saying a few harsh words.

"Good job!"

"Ah Qing is really a young hero."

"I think Ah Qing is more public-spirited than Song Wenhuai, the "timely rain" of the previous dynasty!"

Seeing that Zhang Jian was actually driven away by Zhou Qing's words, the mountain people at the snack stand burst into cheers.

"Uncles, you are too polite. Uncle She helped me and I helped Uncle She. It's just helping each other." Zhou Qing clasped his fists towards everyone. He was not happy about this flattery at all.

If it weren't for the Gu worm, he wouldn't want to be in the limelight.

He guessed that Zhang Jian would not dare to fight with him in the town.

After all, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Baiyun Martial Arts School was average, and no one could take the initiative to provoke trouble.

As the manager of the Zhao family, Zhang Jian had more concerns.

Moreover, if Zhang Jian knew that there were Gu worms in Jiuquan, he would not dare to make it public.

As for leaving the town, it was naturally up to each person to do it.

"Uncle She, I still have to send the mulberry leaves back, so I'll leave first. If Zhang Jian troubles you again, come to me."

Seeing the cheers getting louder and louder, Zhou Qing hurriedly carried the basket and prepared to leave.

"Ah Qing, thank you!" She Quanyi said gratefully.

"This is an agreement, just part of my job." Zhou Qing waved his hand and left quickly.

"Ah Qing is really..."

Looking at Zhou Qing's still slightly thin back, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a great hero who is righteous and helps the weak when they were young, but how many people can really do it?

Zhou Qing returned home, opened the silkworm house, and put down the basket.

He looked inside the square cluster and found that the green silk Gu was sleeping soundly, and the Gu stone had completely disappeared.

On the other side, six golden silkworms were also using siphon mouthparts to suck amber crystals from the inside of the Gu Stone.

Before silkworms become adults, they all have chewing mouthparts, like a pair of pliers that open and close left and right.

The adult silkworms that start to spin silk all have siphon mouthparts, which at first glance look like a plate of mosquito coils extending from their mouths. This kind of mouthparts is not suitable for silkworms to eat.

So after silkworms become adults, they will use up all the energy stored in their bodies to spit out the last mouthful of silk until they become pupae and moths in the cocoon.

But the golden silkworms in front of them can actually use siphon mouthparts to suck such a hard Gu Stone, which is really amazing.

Zhou Qing watched the golden silkworms sucking the Gu Stone while doing what he was doing.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Gu Stone was sucked up by the six golden silkworms.

The six golden silkworms were a circle larger than before.

"This is."

The next moment, the golden silkworm, which was already five years old, began to shed its skin again.

The skin on their heads cracked open, and the round heads came out, followed by the whole body.

The golden silkworms that had completed the molting grew bigger again, from one finger thick to two fingers thick.

The original golden silkworms were emerald green, with a white linear texture on their backs, but now the linear texture on the back of the golden silkworms has turned amber.

Not only that, the backs of the golden silkworms actually grew a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings.

"Buzz!"

The six golden silkworms simultaneously raised their upper bodies, and the siphon-like mouthparts on their heads quickly straightened up like steel needles, and the wings behind them quickly flapped, making a subtle sound similar to that of mosquitoes flying.

"Buzz!"

The six golden silkworms flew down from the wooden rack, aiming directly at Zhou Qing.

"Huh?!"

Zhou Qing dodged.

The scene in front of him changed his eyes.

The six golden silkworms hit the wooden rack behind him, and their straight mouthparts actually pierced deeply into the wooden board.

The golden silkworm squirmed its body, trying to pull its mouthparts out of the wooden board.

"How could this happen?"

Zhou Qing frowned slightly. After the golden silkworm absorbed the Gu stone, it unexpectedly underwent such an amazing change and became so aggressive.

"Puff!" The largest golden silkworm broke free.

It flew towards Zhou Qing again.

Zhou Qing circulated the blood in his chest and gathered it in his hands, and his palms suddenly turned gray and white.

"Swoosh!"

Just as he was about to grab the golden silkworm with his hands, the green silk Gu woke up from his sleep and moved faster.

It jumped onto Zhou Qing's shoulder and spit out silk threads from its mouth.

The silk threads shot out softened in mid-air, tightly wrapped the golden silkworm, and then pulled hard.

Seeing that it was about to fall into the mouth of the green silk Gu, the golden silkworm struggled violently, but it was useless, and its upright mouthparts drooped directly.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing reached out and grabbed the golden silkworm that was about to die in the mouth of the green silk Gu.

As the golden silkworm was in his hand, the jade scepter in his mind glowed with a faint blue light.

The next moment, a line of text appeared in his sight.

[You have obtained a new Gu worm - golden silkworm]

[Golden silkworm: a growing Gu worm. It is a mutation of the golden silkworm. It can be fed with mulberry leaves, false persimmon leaves, blood, and Gu worms to help it grow and evolve.]

[Refining conditions: feeding with one's own blood]

[Talents: flying, spinning, asexual reproduction]

[Asexual reproduction: A special ability acquired by the golden silkworm after it mutates into a golden silkworm. The golden silkworm has strong vitality and strong adaptability to the environment. It only needs enough food and does not need to mate to lay eggs and reproduce. ]

"Gu worm!"

Zhou Qing's eyes changed. The golden silkworm actually mutated.

"Buzz!"

At this time, the other five golden silkworms saw that the situation was not good and prepared to escape.

"Catch them!"

Zhou Qing ordered the green silk Gu to act.

"Swoosh!"

The green silk Gu immediately flew onto the wooden frame and spit out silk to tie up the five golden silkworms together.

"It seems that not all Gu worms have the wisdom of the green silk Gu."

Looking at the golden silkworm struggling violently in his hand, Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

The golden silkworm stabbed his palm with its mouthparts.

The gray palm was more tough than cowhide. It could smash a wooden stake without feeling pain. At this moment, it was constantly pricking like a needle.

After observing for a while, Zhou Qing cut his index finger with a knife and squeezed blood towards the golden silkworm.
