All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 29 Backing You Up (Please Read On)

Upon seeing blood, the golden silkworm became extremely excited and began to suck Zhou Qing's blood.

Zhou Qing squeezed out more than a dozen drops of blood and fed them to the golden silkworm. Gradually, he felt a faint connection between himself and the golden silkworm in his hand.

At this moment, a few more lines of text appeared below the data for the [Gu Master] class.

[Refining: King of Golden Silkworms]

[Progress: Growth Stage (15/800)]

[Talents: Flight, Silk Spinning, Asexual Reproduction]

"Is this golden silkworm actually the king of all golden silkworms?"

Zhou Qing looked at the words that appeared in his line of sight with a surprised expression.

This golden silkworm is indeed much larger.

"Go into the grid cluster."

Zhou Qing released his grip and, relying on the faint connection with the golden silkworm, issued the command.

The golden silkworm in his hand flapped its wings and wobbled as it flew toward the square cluster on the wooden frame.

"return!"

Zhou Qing gave the order again.

The golden silkworm flew back into his palm.

"Spitting silk".

The golden silkworm straightened its mouthparts and spit out a pale golden silk thread.

Zhou Qing pulled out the silk thread and pulled hard, only to find that he couldn't break the silk thread spun by the golden silkworm even with all his strength.

The silk thread spun by the golden silkworm is more than twice as tough and strong as that of the golden silkworm.

Although it cannot compare to the silk threads of the Green Silk Gu, the Golden Silkworm has the ability to reproduce asexually. After a period of reproduction, a large amount of Golden Silkworm silk can be harvested.

If the inner armor were woven from the silk of the golden silkworm, its defensive capabilities would be absolutely astonishing.

"Puff."

At this moment, the Green Silk Gu also captured the other five Golden Silkworms.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing squeezed out more blood and fed it to the five golden silkworms in turn.

After the five golden silkworms consumed his blood, they also formed a connection with him.

However, the professional data did not include information about the five golden silkworms.

Clearly, compared to the largest Golden Silkworm King, these five Golden Silkworms, although also Gu worms, are much weaker.

Compared to the Green Silk Gu, whose intelligence is comparable to that of a human, the Golden Silkworm is probably only at the level of an infant, acting more on instinct.

[Talents: Flight, Silk Spinning, Asexual Reproduction]

Moreover, the Golden Silkworm's talent could only be used by itself and was not shared with Zhou Qing.

[Refinement: Green Silk Gu]

[Progress: Mature Stage (610/800)]

One Gu Stone increased the growth rate of the Green Silk Gu by as much as 100 points.

"We still need to focus on cultivating the Green Silk Gu."

Zhou Qing placed the remaining six Gu stones on the wooden shelf and rubbed the round head of the Green Silk Gu.

"It's all for you!"

"Pfft pfft~!" The Green Silk Gu was overjoyed and affectionately rubbed against Zhou Qing's fingertips.

The other six golden silkworms were very envious, but they didn't dare to snatch the food from Zhou Qing's mouth, so they could only fly around him.

Looking at the six golden silkworms in front of him, Zhou Qing suddenly had an idea.

Since the golden silkworm can reproduce asexually and has a certain attack capability, dealing with rats and ants should not be a problem.

In this way, he could raise silkworms in the false persimmon grove.

Anyway, given the vitality of the golden silkworm, it certainly isn't afraid of wind and rain.

In this way, he only needs to focus on raising silkworms, greatly reducing his workload.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Qing locked the silkworm house, put the six golden silkworms into his bosom, and went out of town again.

He placed the six golden silkworms in the grove of fake persimmon trees at the foot of the mountain.

"Go ahead, there are plenty of leaves here, enough for you to eat."

Six golden silkworms flapped their wings and flew high into the canopy of a tall tree.

Five of the golden silkworms were lying on the leaves, spinning silk and forming cocoons.

Only the largest golden silkworm king straightened its mouthparts and plunged them deep into the tree trunk, sucking the sap of the fake persimmon tree.

Seeing that the six golden silkworms were all above the tree canopy, which was more than ten meters high, and were not easy to spot, Zhou Qing left the woods with peace of mind.

When he returned to town, he found that his connection with the golden silkworm had become very weak.

Apart from the King of Golden Silkworms, who could barely sense his commands, the other five Golden Silkworms could no longer receive them at all.

"Is three li the maximum distance?"

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

He's even considering moving to Caisang Village, which is closer to Black Wind Mountain.

This makes mulberry picking and silkworm rearing convenient.

However, the safety of the village is much worse than that of the town.

Therefore, moving is not a consideration in the short term.

When Zhou Qing returned home, the aroma of the food had already wafted out of the yard.

"I'm sorry, Aqing, I haven't woven cloth in a long time. I messed it up once. This is the 'undershirt' you asked me to make."

After finishing her meal, the old woman took a cloth bag from the cupboard and handed it to Zhou Qing, looking apologetic.

"It's alright, Grandma, there's plenty of silk. You'll get the hang of it after weaving a few more times."

Zhou Qing smiled as he took the cloth bag. Now that he had the Golden Silkworm Gu, he was no longer interested in the silk of the Golden Silkworm.

He opened the cloth bag and saw a light gold undershirt that resembled a vest. However, due to a shortage of golden silkworm silk, it was made of mulberry silk with a tie, and the waist area was completely exposed.

"The workmanship is exquisite; the old lady's skills are truly excellent."

Zhou Qing praised, but said that the T-shirt was indeed not suitable for him.

"Why don't you give it to me first, and I'll make up for it when the next batch of silkworms spins silk?" the old woman said.

"No need, this T-shirt would be worth a lot of money if we sold it." Zhou Qing immediately thought of Wei Hongyu.

This T-shirt is exquisitely made and has a nice design. Moreover, the silkworm silk is very tough and strong, so wearing it underneath can protect vital parts such as the heart.

"That's fine too." The old woman nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhou Qing took the cloth bag to the martial arts school.

Wei Hongyu is not at the martial arts school.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Qing stood in front of the leather-covered boxing post and kept striking it with his palms.

After breaking through the skin barrier, the training method also changed.

Simply frying sand and soaking your hands in toxic water will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.

He now spends most of his time practicing boxing stances and then lifting stone weights to build strength.

Occasionally, I would also spar with my senior classmates whom I had a good relationship with.

Time quickly passed and evening arrived, with the sun setting in the west.

After drinking the blood-nourishing soup, the apprentices left the martial arts school one after another.

Zhou Qing waited to receive his meat meal and did not leave.

When no one was left in the front yard, Lin Qiu, who had originally walked out of the gate, returned to the yard.

"Junior Brother Zhou." Lin Qiu clasped his hands in greeting.

"What advice do you have for me, Senior Brother Lin?" Zhou Qing returned the greeting. Lin Qiu usually did not associate with people from poor backgrounds like them.

"I heard that Junior Brother Zhou had a conflict with Zhang Jian, the steward of the Zhao family. I wonder what happened? We are brothers from the same martial arts school. If Junior Brother Zhou has any requests, I will not stand idly by," Lin Qiu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin. It's nothing serious. Zhang Jian was making things difficult for an old hunter, and I couldn't stand by and do it for him. I don't think Zhang Jian would do anything outrageous."

Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude.

He would have accepted help from anyone else, but he kept his distance from Lin Qiu.

"In that case, I won't meddle any further." Lin Qiu's smile remained unchanged.

"Senior Brother Lin, you flatter me. I appreciate your kind offer," Zhou Qing quickly replied.

“We’re all from the same martial arts school, there’s no need to be so formal. We should get to know each other better in the future,” Lin Qiu said.

"Of course," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Take care, Senior Brother Lin."

As soon as Lin Qiu walked out the door, Zhou Qing's smile vanished instantly.

He walked through the front gate into the backyard.

As soon as they reached the end of the corridor, they saw that Wei Hongyu was unusually not wearing her black training clothes, but had changed into a red outfit, which fully revealed her mature and beautiful figure.

"Greetings, Senior Sister." Zhou Qing didn't dare to look any further and lowered her head.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I have something to do. You can go to the kitchen to get the meat." Wei Hongyu nodded.

"Senior Sister, I have a silkworm garment here that I would like to give to you."

Zhou Qing changed his mind before he could finish speaking.

He felt he needed to find someone to rely on in town.

"Silkworm clothes? I recently made a few new garments; why don't you take a look?" Wei Hongyu paused.

As she spoke, she walked toward the study next door.

Upon entering the study, Zhou Qing opened the cloth bag.

Wei Hongyu's face showed a strange expression.

"."

"."

The two exchanged a glance and fell into a brief silence.

Zhou Qing suddenly realized that the same thing, sold and given away, seemed to have a big difference.

"Senior Sister, this is silk spun by a new type of silkworm I discovered on Black Wind Mountain. Its toughness and strength far surpass those of the previous silk. I originally intended to make an inner armor, but I didn't have enough silk, so I only managed to weave half of it."

Zhou Qing quickly explained.

"So that's how it is." Wei Hongyu didn't misunderstand. She gently tugged at it a couple of times and found that it was indeed as Zhou Qing had said.

"It is indeed a top-quality item. Are you sure you want to give it to me? Actually, if you are worried about Zhang Jian, you don't need to do this."

Wei Hongyu changed the subject.

"My senior sister has taken good care of me. This 'inner armor' is just a token of my appreciation and has no other meaning," Zhou Qing said solemnly.

“Okay, then I’ll accept it.” Wei Hongyu nodded.

“If you still have silk of this quality, I’m willing to pay double the price to buy it.”

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Zhou Qing didn't stand on ceremony.

“Your matter with Zhang Jian is a personal grudge. If the rest of the Zhao family bullies the weak, we will…” Wei Hongyu added.

"Baiyun Martial Arts School isn't to be trifled with either!"

At that moment, a deep and domineering voice came from outside the door.
