Chapter 476: Chapter 475 Dangerous Necklace

Lin Tian was not an unreasonable person and knew the importance and urgency of the matter, so he looked toward the black cloth covering the Gu mothers. This black cloth also appeared not to be ordinary fabric; the two Gu mothers continually crashed against it but couldn’t break free.

It would not have been difficult for him to deal with the two Gu mothers; he just needed to speed up and directly crush them to death. However, he chose not to do so because he mainly wanted to see how Li Qingyun would subdue these two Zombie Gu mothers.

Li Qingyun took a small clay pot from her sleeve, only the size of a thumb, shaped like a mini black vase. Possibly because it was often held in the hand, the exterior of this vase was very smooth and shiny.

When she took out the vase, the two Gu mothers finally drilled their way out and immediately flew toward Lin Tian as if they were attracted to something on him.

Lin Tian even suspected that it wasn’t just the Gu Medicine on his body attracting them but also possibly because the Zombie Gu mothers sensed that he was a zombie; if they inhabited this zombie’s body, they could evolve.

The evolution of Gu Worms is an innate behavior; even their master cannot stop this instinct.

But Lin Tian didn’t make a move, just calmly watched as the Gu mothers flew toward him.

At that moment, Li Qingyun twisted open the stopper of the vase in her hand and then shook it, emitting a pale yellow light from inside.

Lin Tian saw this light clearly—it was a yellow silkworm. His mind stirred; this silkworm was the very Golden Silkworm Gu that Li Qingyun was raising!

Unexpectedly, the Golden Silkworm Gu couldn’t fly, but its projectile ability was so formidable. It directly hit one of the Gu mothers precisely, knocking the Gu mother into the smoking pot and fell in itself.

The Gu Worms had the strongest sensations among themselves, especially with the arrival of the Golden Silkworm Gu, which was almost a top-tier Gu, and because the Zombie Gu were the most bloodthirsty and brutal, they also wanted to devour the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Therefore, the other Gu mother gave up attacking Lin Tian, vibrated its wings a few times, and also flew into the clay pot. Just as it flew in, the Golden Silkworm Gu bounced out, Li Qingyun stepped forward to catch it and recover it into the small vase, while simultaneously covering the entrance of the pot on the square table with something, sealing both Gu mothers inside.

"Granny Li, you said the biting capability of Zombie Gus is very strong, can they be sealed inside?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

After covering the clay pot, Li Qingyun did not make any further movements; instead, she relaxedly said to Lin Tian, "Don’t underestimate these clay pots; they are specially used for cultivating Gu. As soon as they go in, the Gu Worms will start devouring each other until only one is left. The character for Gu, with an insect on the top and a dish at the bottom, this dish is the vessel for nurturing Gu, which is these clay pots."

So that’s how it was; Lin Tian finally understood why the swarms of insects had previously been so frenetically devouring each other and even evolved a Gu mother.

Half an hour after the Gu mothers were sealed, Li Qingyun went to a cabinet, took out a small box, and opened it to reveal a beautiful necklace. The necklace had a metal bead threaded on it, and the whole necklace shimmered with silver under the light; Lin Tian guessed it was made of silver.

As for what the metal bead was, Lin Tian did not understand; logically, it ought to be threaded with jade or something similar.

"What a beautiful necklace," Xiao Manxuan exclaimed.

Although the necklace seemed to be made of silver and wasn’t considered valuable, its craftsmanship was very sophisticated, and indeed, the necklace was beautiful.

"Since you like it, it’ll be yours in a moment," Li Qingyun said with a smile.

"Really?" Xiao Manxuan’s face lit up with joy, but then she felt something was inappropriate and declined, "Judging by the craftsmanship of the necklace, it must be the work of a master, right? I can’t accept such a valuable item."

However, Li Qingyun shook her head and said, "Who says that beautiful things must come from famous craftsmen? I think true art is found among the common folk. In Huaxia, many crafts are passed down among ordinary people who are mostly unknown, yet their skills are not inferior to those of renowned masters. Although it’s just an ordinary silver necklace, the level of craftsmanship is very high, and moreover, it has another use."

Lin Tian agreed with her remarks. It was like his grandfather’s massage techniques, which, because he lacked a medical license and other certifications, weren’t recognized by the outside world, just like many other unrecognized craftsmen.

"What’s its use?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"You’ll find out in a moment," Li Qingyun replied playfully, "Drop a drop of blood here."

Li Qingyun pinched the metal bead, which opened a round hole; it was hollow inside and it had a clever mechanism set on this small bead to open and close the hole.

Lin Tian remembered the ring that contained the Disperse Power Potion. The tiny ring also had a mechanism to control the flow of the potion inside, incredibly ingenious, and he assumed the mechanism in the metal bead was similar in concept to that of the ring.

"Why the blood?" Xiao Manxuan asked again. She was naive, but not foolish, and giving her blood to a Gu Cultivator without knowing what they might do with it seemed risky, especially if it was something akin to casting a spell; that could turn disastrous.

"I’ll use your blood in conjunction with my Gu Medicine to transform the Zombie Gu’s mother into yours, making you its new master," Li Qingyun explained openly.

Xiao Manxuan looked to Lin Tian, seeking his opinion.

"Second Miss, don’t worry, go ahead and drop the blood," Lin Tian said, having guessed some of Li Qingyun’s intentions.

Encouraged by Lin Tian’s advice, Xiao Manxuan stretched out her hand and let Li Qingyun cut a small incision, and she dropped a drop of blood into the metal bead.

Li Qingyun then dropped a drop of potion in as well, pinched the bead to close it, and quickly lifted the lid of a pottery jar, hastily threw the necklace in, and then covered it again.

After half an hour, she finally opened the pottery jar. By then, it was no longer emitting smoke, presumably because the charcoal had burned out.

Li Qingyun reached into the pottery jar and took out the necklace, which looked unchanged.

She handed it to Xiao Manxuan and then said, "Just now, two Gu mothers were drawn into the pottery jar by my Golden Silkworm Gu. One of them has been devoured, and the other is hidden inside this metal bead. From now on, you are its new master. Moreover, with your high musical talent, controlling it will be as easy as flipping your hand. You only need to practice a few times as I have taught you, and the Gu mother will protect you in the future."

Hearing that the Gu mother was hidden in the metal bead, Xiao Manxuan was so frightened that she threw the necklace away. The Zombie Gu had been described by Li Qingyun as terrifyingly dangerous, causing the little girl to instinctively want to distance herself from such dangerous things.

Lin Tian caught the necklace and reassured her, "Second Miss, this necklace is truly valuable. The Gu mother that devoured the other is now stronger than before. It might save your life at a critical moment. If you treat it as a pet, you won’t find it frightening. After all, you are keeping Little Hua, the formidable Tibetan Mastiff, so why fear a little insect?"
