Bookworm Gu

Although the Binuoxiu sisters were beautiful, even possessing seductive bones, a qualified Gu Master would never have any sort of relationship with their own Gu unless they could break free from certain restrictions. But that was still far too distant for Cao Xiaochun.

If he had a choice, he would rather go next door and be a Cao thief.

He browsed online for clothes for the two sisters and ultimately chose one red and one blue priest robe. They could not keep going on like this forever.

The clothes had not arrived yet, but there was still work to do. After casually draping two blankets over them, Cao Xiaochun let out a heavy breath and took out the four Moonlight Gu.

If he wanted the Binuoxiu sisters to clearly understand how to use them, the quickest method was to create something like a memory and imprint it into their minds.

Cao Xiaochun had no means of creating memories out of thin air, but he had another method. After all, all roads led to Rome. If the water route would not work, could he not take the land route instead?

Cao Xiaochun's idea was to create a Gu insect called Bookworm Gu and have them carry it with them. That way, as long as the Bookworm Gu was not lost, they would always know how to use the Moonlight Gu.

[Bookworm Gu. No Tier. Support Type]: Feed the things you need to remember to the Bookworm Gu. From then on, as long as the Bookworm Gu is not lost, the Gu Master will always remember them clearly.

After carefully recalling its crafting method and effects, he knew that ordinary Bookworm Gu were nowhere near as overpowered as the description claimed. Still, storing a single memory was possible.

He got up and gathered all kinds of books from the room. They served as the foundation of the Bookworm Gu, and next, he would use his Gu refinement technique to begin crafting it.

He found a large basin and tore the books in front of him apart one by one. Once they had all burned to ashes, Cao Xiaochun sat cross-legged and formed hand seals. Streams of red runes emerged from his palms, slowly drifting into the fire basin before vanishing in an instant.

The process continued for a full two hours. When Cao Xiaochun finally stopped moving his hands, the fire basin suddenly trembled. In an instant, two extremely plump flesh worms emerged from the ashes.

The flesh worms were only as thick as a little finger. They were fat and soft like silkworms, but they had no eyes.

Cao Xiaochun instantly let out a sigh of relief. The Bookworm Gu refinement process had gone exceptionally smoothly, but the tedious procedure had still left him rather exhausted.

Without thinking too much about it, he pulled out two sheets of paper and wrote down the Moonlight Gu's origins, usage methods, and precautions. Then he picked up the two Bookworm Gu and gently placed them on the papers.

"Rustle, rustle!"

As though they had smelled food, the two Bookworm Gu became exceptionally excited. Their fat bodies wriggled continuously across the paper as they rapidly devoured the white sheets beneath them.

Cao Xiaochun smiled at the sight and gently tapped them with a finger. Two threadlike red rays slowly entered the Bookworm Gu's bodies.

Once the paper was gone, the Bookworm Gu slowly curled up. Strands of snow-white silk spilled from their mouths, and before long, the two Bookworm Gu formed two white jade cocoons.

He picked up the jade cocoons and walked over to the two sisters, who had been watching from the side. Looking at their somewhat confused expressions, Cao Xiaochun smiled and said calmly.

"Come on, hold out your hands."

The sisters nodded lightly and extended their hands without hesitation. Cao Xiaochun placed the jade cocoons on their wrists. The moment the Bookworm Gu touched them, the entire jade cocoon slowly melted, soon forming silkworm-like marks on their wrists.

The sudden unfamiliar memories made the Binuoxiu sisters freeze, but after fully digesting them, a trace of excitement appeared on their faces.

Even though they had once been monsters, they knew how important a powerful skill was. And this memory recorded precisely such a powerful skill.

Cao Xiaochun placed the Moonlight Gu in the sisters' hands and told them to familiarize themselves with them properly. After finishing all this, he slowly stretched and prepared to rest.

A full day and night had already passed since he emerged from the dungeon. Gu Masters possessed high mental power, so although he was not sleepy, he was already mentally exhausted.

At noon the next day, after the Binuoxiu sisters changed into their newly bought clothes, Cao Xiaochun stored them back inside the gourd.

Seeing that he only needed a little over a hundred experience points to reach the peak of Level 4, Cao Xiaochun decided to use Experience Potions.

In fact, during the seven days of independent training held by each high school class, reaching Level 4 was already considered outstanding. Most students also chose to use Experience Potions.

After all, the monsters beginners could defeat gave very little experience, and most people's first dungeon run was primarily for the experience.

If someone had a powerful class, then after reaching Level 4 and passing the test, getting into a good university would not be a problem.

That would be when their strength entered a period of rapid growth.

Therefore, Cao Xiaochun did not plan to leave home over the next few days. Instead, he planned to spend heavily on three Experience Potions.

This kind of Experience Potion was extremely popular on the market. Although it only worked on beginners from Levels 0 to 4, its effects were already heaven-defying.

One Experience Potion could grant fifty experience points, but it also had limitations. At most, five bottles could be used per level.

That was why newcomers would level themselves to Level 2 before returning to chug potions.

The person who developed this item was the previous Imperial Preceptor of the Nine Provinces. It was an excellent way for beginners to transition.

Because buying Experience Potions required personal information and official website approval, Cao Xiaochun had nothing to do while waiting. He could only go over the Gu refinement methods in his mind.

Although the memories would not disappear, he still needed to familiarize himself with them.

Thus, over the next five days, after receiving the Experience Potions, Cao Xiaochun barely left home except for necessary matters. He spent all his time studying how to improve the defenses of the Locust Gu and Killer Bee Gu.

During his battle with Reno, Cao Xiaochun had clearly realized that although these two kinds of Gu insects could win through numbers, the offspring Gu were still too weak. They could handle ordinary monsters, but if they faced an enemy head-on, or if the opponent knew some skills, they would likely be of little use.

Therefore, Cao Xiaochun searched through all the basic Gu refinement methods in his memories and decided to fuse the Mother Locust Gu with the Copper Skin Gu. Then, using a special method, he would incorporate the Copper Skin Gu's traits into the offspring Gu.

[Copper Skin Gu. Black Iron Tier. Level 0]: A defensive Gu insect that greatly increases a Gu Master's skin defense, allowing them to withstand more damage.

Since the Copper Skin Gu itself acted on the Gu Master, fusing the two Gu required gradual experimentation. Fortunately, he had enough time. After failing more than ten times, Cao Xiaochun finally fused the two Gu completely.

The original Mother Locust Gu had resembled white crystal, but after merging with the Copper Skin Gu, it turned dark yellow. Its once-soft body had also become incomparably hard.

Cao Xiaochun had tested it with a kitchen knife. With one slash, the blade had been jolted into a massive notch. He was quite satisfied with the Locust Gu's current defense.

With the experience from the Locust Gu, fusing the Killer Bee Gu went exceptionally smoothly. With almost no effort at all, Cao Xiaochun fused the two Gu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as he put away the Gu insects, intending to rest for a while and grab something to eat, a violent knock suddenly sounded at the door!
