Chapter 20: Making the Gu Master's Flesh Delicious?
Shi Lin took out a boning knife from the corner of the warehouse, weighed it in his hand to make sure it was the right weight, then stepped forward and began to dissect the carcass of the armored black boar.
Shi Lin started slaughtering pigs at the age of four and has an exceptionally deep understanding of the muscle structure of pigs.
Although the armored black pig had an extra layer of armor of unknown composition on its body, there were gaps between the armor plates. As long as there were gaps, Shi Lin could use them to disassemble the pork.
The gaps on the armored black pig are to ensure that it can move normally. If they were connected, it would become a tortoise-shell black pig, and if the shells were connected, it would seriously affect its flexibility.
Soon, Shi Lin removed the entire suit of armor from the armored black boar by following the gaps in the armor.
Next up is the pork from the Ironclad Black Pig. As the boning knife is inserted into the body of the Ironclad Black Pig, a not-so-fresh smell is released from its body.
Judging from its appearance, this armored black pig must have been dead for a while, which is why the pork is not fresh and has this strange smell.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin threw the last bone on the ground, and the entire armored black pig weighing several hundred pounds was dismantled by Shi Lin.
Exhausted, Shi Lin leaned on the table, panting heavily. Who would be so kind as to let a six-year-old child dismantle such a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds?
"Not bad, son, your skills haven't declined." Shi Zhen nodded with satisfaction as he watched Shi Lin's swift and skillful knife work.
Shi Lin turned his head and glanced at Shi Zhen with annoyance. Shi Lin was too tired to speak, otherwise he would have definitely said something to his father.
"Alright, Dad, let Brother An bring the armor to my room first. I'm completely exhausted," Shi Lin said weakly to Shi Zhen after resting for a while.
"Haha, you still need to practice, kid. Okay, I'll have Xiao An bring the things to your room later. It's a bit chilly here, let's go back first." Shi Zhen laughed heartily as he looked at Shi Lin, and led Shi Lin away from there.
Soon, Shi Lin returned to his room, changed into a clean and loose set of training clothes, and then lay on the bed to rest while waiting for Shi An in the room.
A dozen minutes later, Shi An arrived at Shi Lin's courtyard carrying a sack full of armored pigs, followed by a dozen burly men. These men were carrying pork and bones from the armored black pigs.
"Young Master, this stuff has a rather strong smell. Is it alright to leave it in the yard?" Shi An placed the stuff in the yard, then went to Shi Lin's room and asked him.
"How about this, put it in the side room," Shi Lin said to Shi An after thinking for a moment.
The pork from the Ironclad Black Pig not only has a strong bloody smell but also a gamey odor, making it really unsuitable for use in the bedroom to refine Gu worms.
After all, the pork from a wild boar that hasn't been castrated not only has a bloody smell but also a foul odor. If someone were to use it to concoct venomous insects in the room, it would be impossible for anyone to sleep there!
"Yes, young master." Shi An replied, then left Shi Lin's bedroom, leading his men to place the flesh, bones, and armor of the armored black boar in the side room.
Soon, all these items were placed in the side room. Shi An inspected them before reporting back to Shi Lin.
"Young Master, the things have all been delivered to the side room, so we'll head back now," Shi An said respectfully, bowing to Shi Lin.
"Alright, Brother An, you've worked hard. Take them to take a bath; the meat doesn't taste very good anymore," Shi Lin nodded to Shi An and said.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An replied, then led all the servants in Shi Lin's courtyard away from the courtyard.
Seeing that there was no one around the courtyard, Shi Lin carried a basket of bamboo worms and walked towards the side room.
Pushing open the door, the familiar smell of blood and the gamey odor of wild boar meat hit him.
Shi Lin didn't care much about the smell. He took out the dagger he carried with him, went to the pile of pork, and cut off a piece of pork.
In Shi Lin's eyes, the materials on the armored black boar were all good materials for refining high-grade Gu worms!
So it's fine to start with either one.
After cutting off a piece of meat, Shi Lin sat down at the table and summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron, preparing to use the pork from the Ironclad Black Boar to refine Gu worms.
He wondered what kind of Gu worms can be made from the pork of the Ironclad Black Pig.
Is it a worm that can produce pork?
Or can it produce blood and flesh essence that increases cultivation level upon consumption?
In short, Shi Lin had many ideas about the Gu worms made from the pork of the Ironclad Black Pig.
Then Shi Lin took a fat bamboo worm out of the bamboo basket and threw it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and then began to inject soul power into it.
[Unknown Gu worm... 50% success rate!]
Shi Lin found the optimal ratio on his first try, so he began refining the Gu without any hesitation.
The bright red flesh and blood slowly melted inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron, turning into a pot of blood-red juice that looked extremely eerie, instantly enveloping the bamboo worms that were still struggling violently.
The next second, the struggling bamboo worms instantly fell silent.
The crimson liquid inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron began to boil.
In less than a minute, the blood-red soup calmed down and began to slowly disappear.
In the end, only a fist-sized red worm remained inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The flesh worm is entirely blood red, with veins running across its surface, making it look somewhat like blood tofu. In the very center of the worm's body are two sesame-seed-sized eyes and a mouthpart the size of a mung bean, which looks very incongruous.
In short, it was extremely bizarre and disgusting!
Although Shi Lin was somewhat reluctant, he still took the Gu worm out of the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
The next second, information about the Gu worm appeared in Shi Lin's mind.
[Gu Insect: Pork Gu]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Top Grade]
[Functions: 1. After forming a contract, it makes the flesh of the Gu Master more delicious; 2. It can be eaten directly and has a tender taste]
[Description: An edible Gu worm with a taste and aroma similar to pork, used to refine Tier 2 Gu worms.]
"Wait a minute? The contract will make the Gu Master's flesh delicious, is that right? Is that normal?" Shi Lin stared at the Pork Gu in front of him in disbelief, his eyes glazed over.
Who would want to make themselves more delicious?
Shi Lin is not Tang Sanzang, so eating Shi Lin's flesh will not grant you immortality.
Even if eating Shi Lin's flesh could grant immortality, Shi Lin wouldn't stoop so low as to make his own flesh delicious to cater to those diners.
What kind of bizarre Gu worm is this!
"I didn't expect to refine a useless Gu. It seems that not all Gu worms are valuable." Shi Lin frowned as he looked at the fist-sized worm in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
Looking at the pork-shaped Gu in front of him, Shi Lin thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out where to use it.
Although this thing is edible, who would have the time to eat such a weird, fleshy worm?
Shi Lin sighed helplessly and threw the Pork Gu aside. Of course, there was no need to refine this pork anymore, as Shi Lin didn't want to waste his soul power on refining Pork Gu.
Looking at the huge pile of things dismantled from the armored black boar in front of him, besides the flesh and blood, there were the iron-clad black boar's bones, internal organs, and most importantly, the armor!
Shi Lin thought for a moment, then picked up a piece of iron armor from the table and threw it into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, followed by a fresh bamboo worm.
Next, Shi Lin will use the iron armor to refine Gu worms. Presumably, this iron armor should be able to refine useful Gu worms.
