Chapter 45 "Warradish" Wine
Seeing that Lin Yu had already begun absorbing the soul ring, the mutated Cloud Brewing Bamboo was no longer of any use.
Shi Lin immediately picked up the Yunniangzhu.
Normally, a 300-year-old Cloud Brew Bamboo is nearly three meters tall, but after mutation, a 300-year-old mutated Cloud Brew Bamboo is less than half a meter tall, so there probably isn't much wine inside.
Shi Lin took out an empty water pouch and then carefully used his dagger to drill a small hole in Yun Niangzhu.
As the bamboo of Yunniang Bamboo was broken, a fragrant and refreshing aroma of wine instantly burst forth from the bamboo.
It has a delicate and elegant fragrance with a long-lasting aftertaste!
Shi Lin also sniffed the air; the wine smelled amazing.
However, Shi Lin quickly came to his senses and hurriedly poured the wine produced by the mutated cloud-brewed bamboo into the water pouch. The bamboo itself was not large, and Shi Lin was also worried that the aroma of the wine would attract the attention of other soul beasts.
As Shi Lin poured the wine, he thought that if he could refine these wines into Gu worms, he could use the characteristics of the wine Gu to obtain a large amount of mutated cloud bamboo brew.
That's some good stuff!
Yunzhu wine, made from Yunzhu bamboo, is extremely rare and highly sought after.
However, now is not the time to refine Gu. They need to wait until Lin Yu has absorbed the soul ring and found a place to set up camp before starting research on how to refine Gu worms.
Shi Lin glanced at Lin Yu, whose eyes were closed, presumably comprehending the soul skill brought by the soul ring.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry. He found a rock to sit on and carefully observed his surroundings.
In fact, Shi Lin didn't know if the Wine Gu would help with absorbing spirit rings. He let Lin Yu absorb the spirit ring first in order to test the Wine Gu's ability.
Moreover, although it would be difficult for Lin Yu to absorb a soul beast with 300 years of cultivation, it wouldn't be dangerous; it would just be a bit painful.
However, Shi Lin observed that Lin Yu showed no signs of pain while absorbing the spirit ring, which meant that the wine Gu could indeed help spirit masters absorb more powerful spirit rings.
Thinking of this, Shi Lin turned his attention to Shi An. If all the Gu worms on his body were replaced with wine Gu, with the blessing of six high-grade wine Gu, Shi An's physical condition should be able to try to absorb a thousand-year soul ring!
If Shi An could absorb a second soul ring from a thousand-year-old realm, it would greatly enhance his combat power.
Of course, doing this carries a high risk. If you fail to absorb a spirit ring that is too powerful for your level, at best you will have all your meridians severed, and at worst you will explode and die.
Shi Lin was also hesitant about whether to let Shi An take the risk.
Shi An not only accompanied Shi Lin from childhood to adulthood, but is also the most powerful Soul Master in the Shi family. If something happens to Shi An, the Shi family will probably find it difficult to cultivate another loyal and powerful person.
"Never mind, I'll talk to Brother An when I have the chance. After all, Brother An is a defensive-type Soul Master, so his physical endurance is much stronger than other Soul Masters. His chances of successfully absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring will be much higher!" Shi Lin frowned and muttered as he looked at Shi An, who was still wary of his surroundings.
Shi An remained highly vigilant and did not hear Shi Lin's mutterings at all.
A few minutes later, Lin Yu's brows twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"It worked! The wine Gu can actually help me absorb the soul ring!" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, it's good that the absorption was successful. It's not safe here. Let's talk about it again after we leave this bamboo forest," Shi Lin instructed Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master." Lin Yu immediately calmed down and bowed her head to reply to Shi Lin.
"Brother An, let's go back the way we came. We'll get out of the bamboo forest first, and then find a place to set up camp," Shi Lin said, patting Shi An on the shoulder.
"Yes, young master." Shi An replied, then turned and walked out along the path leading into the bamboo forest.
Shi Lin and Lin Yu followed Shi An outside.
Before leaving, Shi Lin tied the mutated cloud-brewed bamboo to his back. This thing wasn't heavy and could be used to refine some Gu worms.
Lin Yu wanted to help Shi Lin share the burden, but Shi Lin refused.
Then the three of them carefully followed the original route out of the bamboo forest.
It took the three of them an hour to emerge from the bamboo forest.
After leaving the bamboo forest, Shi An immediately determined his direction and then looked around at the surrounding environment.
"Young Master, I remember the map says there's a mountain valley to the east. We can go there to rest." Shi An turned around and asked Shi Lin for his opinion with a serious expression.
"Alright, Brother An, lead the way. Let's rest there for the night and get ready. We'll head to the Golden Horned Rhinoceros' territory tomorrow." Shi Lin nodded and said to Shi An.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An replied, then led the way, quickly heading towards the mountain valley with Shi Lin and Lin Yu.
A dozen minutes later, Shi An led Shi Lin and Lin Yu to the bottom of a valley where the mountain naturally sank inward, forming a small cave that could accommodate a few people.
There were still bonfires that had been extinguished for who knows how long, and some pieces of wood scattered all over the ground.
It seems that someone else knew about this place and stayed here before.
"Young Master, may we rest here?" Shi An turned around and asked Shi Lin.
"Let's rest here, Brother An. We'll set up our shelter. Lin Yu, go and tidy up the campfire. While it's still early, let's get something to eat." Shi Lin assigned tasks to the two of them.
"Yes, young master!" the two replied in unison.
Then, the three of them got busy.
Half an hour later, the three of them set up a simple campsite, which could only provide shelter from the wind and rain, and Shi Lin even lit a campfire.
The three men sat around the campfire, roasting their rations and drinking water.
"Lin Yu, tell me about the process of absorbing the spirit ring this time." Shi Lin turned his head and asked Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master, absorbing the soul ring this time was relatively easy. At the beginning, the soul power in Yun Niangzhu's body was too overwhelming, so I couldn't withstand it at first. Just when I couldn't withstand it, the wine Gu suddenly emerged, stuck to my dantian, and absorbed and stored all the excess soul power."
Finally, after I successfully broke through, the wine Gu transferred all that soul power back into my body. My current soul power level has reached the peak of level 12, and I can break through to level 13 at any time." Lin Yu organized her thoughts and then told Shi Lin about her experience of absorbing the soul ring.
After listening to Lin Yu's words, Shi Lin also showed a faint smile.
Lin Yu's breakthrough proves that the Wine Gu can indeed allow Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings beyond their level, which means that Shi Lin and Shi An can choose Soul Beasts with higher ages for their Soul Rings.
"By the way, Lin Yu, what is your first soul skill?" Shi Lin suddenly raised his head and asked Lin Yu with a curious look.
"Young Master, my first soul skill can condense a calming beverage called Purple Cloud Brew!" Lin Yu sat up straight and reported to Shi Lin.
"Calm down? Give it a try?" After hearing Lin Yu's introduction, Shi Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yu with interest, wondering how this wine could calm people down.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Lin Yu nodded vigorously, then stretched out her hand and began to mobilize the soul power in her body.
"First Soul Skill! Purple Cloud Brew!"
As Lin Yu gently chanted the soul incantation, a clear, unblemished liquid slowly appeared before her.
The moment the liquor condensed, a cool aroma emanated from it, though it still had a somewhat pungent and irritating smell, which was more pleasant than bitter liquor.
Shi Lin quickly took out an empty water bag and handed it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu immediately controlled the alcohol and poured it into the water bag.
"Young Master, here you go." Lin Yu closed the lid of the water bag and handed it to Shi Lin.
After taking the water pouch, Shi Lin hesitated for a moment before opening the lid, then frowned and took a small sip.
Shi Lin wasn't sure what the drink tasted like, but things made by food-type Soul Masters were generally non-toxic.
As the liquor entered Shi Lin's mouth, a refreshing aroma of mint mixed with bamboo leaves filled his oral cavity.
The taste is pretty good!
Just as Shi Lin was about to praise Lin Yu, a sudden chill appeared and rushed straight to the top of Shi Lin's head, instantly distorting his face and causing tears and snot to flow from his nose at the same time.
This sensation is like a whole stick of wasabi exploding with power in your mouth at once!
