All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 41 Raising the Tai Sui, Hunting Beasts
"So, as long as there's enough food, this piece of Tai Sui meat can keep growing indefinitely?"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

A comment from a certain 'living Yama' from a past life came to mind—killing pigs just to eat pork is too cruel. Why not cut the flesh off a live pig and wait for it to grow back before cutting it off?

The fact that the flesh of this Tai Sui can keep growing means that you can cut off the flesh to feed the Gu worms, and then wait for it to eat and grow flesh, and then feed the Gu worms again when it is fully grown.

Infinite loop!

Ordinary poisonous insects are no longer effective in helping the Green Silk Gu grow.

But the Green Silk Gu was drooling over the flesh of the Tai Sui.

This shows that the flesh of the Tai Sui is very beneficial to its growth.

"Try it."

Zhou Qing drew his long knife and made a cut on the Tai Sui meat that was being eaten, slicing off a thin piece of meat.

The Tai Sui meat showed no reaction, so we continued eating it.

"It doesn't seem to hurt." Zhou Qing nodded and tossed the slice of meat to the Green Silk Gu.

The Green Silk Gu swallowed the piece of meat with a "slurp".

I want to eat it.

The green silk gu's eyes, the size of broad beans, stared intently at the Tai Sui meat.

"You'll be in charge of raising this 'Tai Sui' (a type of rare fungus). You'll be responsible for catching poisonous insects to feed it every day. Once it's a bit bigger, we'll harvest the meat. That way, we'll always have meat to eat, which is better than eating it all at once."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing made a decision.

【it is good! 】

Qing Si Gu raised her head and looked at Zhou Qing, as if to say, 'How come I didn't think of that?'

"In that case, let's go out later."

Zhou Qing thought that he could wait until the Tai Sui meat grew a bit bigger, then cut off a piece and take it to the county town, where it could be sold as a medicinal herb.

Wei Hongyu said that you could buy medicinal herbs at Wang's Pharmacy by mentioning her name, and at least you wouldn't be ripped off.

"With the addition of the Tai Sui meat, the money for buying low-level internal energy cultivation techniques should be enough."

Zhou Qing suppressed his somewhat anxious feelings.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Feed the Tai Sui meat with more poisonous insects. When we get back from the county town, I'll make sure you eat your fill."

Zhou Qing gave the order to the Green Silk Gu.

"Pfft, pfft." The Green Silk Gu was unusually excited and full of energy.

Zhou Qing left the Tai Sui meat on the mountain and went down the mountain alone.

As he approached the foot of the mountain, he looked at a new grave in the distance and sighed inwardly.

Zhou Qing walked toward the new grave in the distance.

As Zhou Qing got closer, he noticed She Wu weeping in front of the grave.

"Father! It's all my fault."

Hearing footsteps, She Wu looked up and saw Zhou Qing. He quickly wiped the snot and tears from his face.

"Brother Aqing".

"I've come to pay my respects," Zhou Qing nodded.

She Wu handed over a handful of paper money.

Zhou Qing took the paper money, placed it in the copper basin in front of the grave, and bowed.

Seeing that She Wu was in tears, Zhou Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Please accept my condolences."

"I'm going to the county town in the next few days. I'll probably be setting off with the Ziyang Escort Agency. When are you leaving?"

"Thank you, Brother Qing. I've already written to my uncle, and he should be coming to pick me up in a few days," She Wu replied.

"Since you've decided to leave, you should set off as soon as possible. We don't even know if Zhang Jian is still alive. If he comes looking for you, you'll lose your money."

Zhou Qing reminded him.

Killing Zhang Jian is easy, but it has to be done without the Zhao family finding out; otherwise, it would be a slap in the face to the Zhao family.

She Wu's face showed a mixture of hatred and fear. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then I'll listen to you, Brother Qing."

"Okay, pack your things and I'll call you when it's time to leave."

Zhou Qing nodded.

"Wow!"

Just as Zhou Qing finished burning the paper money and was about to leave, a hawk's cry came from above the woods.

A white-headed eagle with a wingspan of over four meters swooped down.

"It's Xiao Hei!" She Wu's face lit up with surprise.

A bald eagle landed in front of the grave.

Zhou Qing then noticed that there was a fist-sized hole in its back, and the blood flowing out had turned blackish-red.

Clearly, these are wounds from a battle with a giant centipede.

"Xiao Hei, you're injured!" She Wu exclaimed.

"Screech!" He was about to step forward when he was frightened back by the cry of the white-headed eagle.

“It’s poisoned, you can’t touch it,” Zhou Qing explained.

"Chirp chirp~"

At that moment, a tender cry rang out from beneath the bald eagle's wings.

As the bald eagle flapped its wings, a fledgling eagle the size of a hen was pushed out.

The fledgling eagle was unwilling to leave the bald eagle's wings and wanted to go back, but the bald eagle pushed it away forcefully again. Helpless, the fledgling eagle slowly walked towards Zhou Qing.

“Brother Qing, Xiao Hei wants to entrust the fledgling eagle to you,” She Wu reminded him.

"Entrusted to me?" Zhou Qing was taken aback, meeting the sharp eyes of the white-headed eagle, in which he saw a deep reluctance.

Perhaps the reason the bald eagle didn't choose She Wu is because he is stronger, and it wanted to find a stronger backer for its fledgling.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

"I promise you, I will take good care of your child!" Zhou Qing said solemnly.

The bald eagle clearly understood and nodded like a human.

Then, it took one last look at the fledgling eagle in front of Zhou Qing, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky.

"Wow—!"

A cry of an eagle echoed across the sky.

A bald eagle circled above the trees.

A moment later, it swooped down, showing no sign of slowing down as it approached the ground.

"Little Black!" She Wu exclaimed in surprise.

"This is..." Zhou Qing's eyes widened.

boom!
With a muffled thud, the bald eagle crashed heavily into the large rock standing on the grave mound, splattering blood everywhere.

It ended its life in an extremely violent way.

"Chirp chirp~!"

The fledgling eagle stumbled and landed on the carcass of the bald eagle, its cry sounding like a lament.

"Little Black!" She Wu burst into tears.

When the fledgling eagles grew tired of chirping, Zhou Qing and She Wu dug up the grave and buried the bald eagle, which weighed several dozen kilograms, with She Quanyi.

Zhou Qing bowed again before the grave.

Respect to the fierceness and loyalty of the white-headed eagle.

"Go in peace, I will make your child the king of this sky!"

Zhou Qing made a promise in his heart.

Seeing that She Wu was about to faint from crying, Zhou Qing persuaded him to go home.

Zhou Qing put the fledgling eagle into a basket and brought it back to town. When he passed by the butcher shop, he bought a pound of mutton and a pound of beef.

Back in the silkworm house, Zhou Qing took the fledgling eagles out of the basket.

Throughout the entire process, the fledgling eagle remained unusually calm.

"Uncle She's notes contain records of hawk training, it seems."

Zhou Qing took out the hunter's notebook. The process of training eagles described in it was somewhat cruel, and he really couldn't bear to use such methods on this fledgling eagle that had just lost its family.

Most eagles are proud and won't eat meat given to them by humans. You have to put it on a wooden stick that hangs horizontally in the air and shake the stick back and forth so that the eagle can't stand steadily. Do this for dozens of days without letting it sleep. The eagle will become dizzy and exhausted and fall to the ground.

Next, pour cold water on its head to wake it up, but don't let it fall asleep.

After that, the eagle must be starved. It is usually starved for ten to twelve days, and it is only given some salt water or tea to drink, but no food. When the eagle's fat is almost rendered off, it will become agile again.

After this training, most of the eagle's wildness is removed, and it becomes tamed by its master.

“Young eagle, your family has entrusted you to me. Would you like to become my personal falcon?”

Zhou Qing used a knife to cut off a small piece of mutton and handed it over.

The fledgling eagle sized up Zhou Qing, and in its view, Zhou Qing's entire body radiated a faint divine light.

A sense of intimacy arose spontaneously, causing it to stagger forward and pick up the mutton.

You have acquired a new prey – a bald eagle.

[Bald Eagle: Young Eagle. As a descendant of a bald eagle that has developed intelligence, it possesses greater talents and potential. It can be fed meat to aid its growth and evolution.]

[Refining Conditions: Grant the fledgling eagle the identity of a mountain god's beast hunter; it will become your most loyal servant.]

[Talents: Flight, Eagle Eye]

"Huh?" The words that appeared in his line of sight startled Zhou Qing.

"In the name of the Black Wind Mountain God, I bestow upon you the identity of the Mountain God's Beast Hunter. From this day forward, you shall be my partner."

Following the prompts, Zhou Qing admitted to being a fledgling eagle.

The next moment, the world suddenly became clear before his eyes.

P.S.: Readership has actually decreased instead of increased, which is frustrating. I need to control the word count during the new book period, so I can't keep adding extra chapters. Please don't let the book sit unread, everyone! Please keep reading!
