The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Chapter 119: Spinning Silk

He wasn't sure whether the grafting technique from his previous life would work on the spiritual herbs of this world, but he thought it was worth a try. His high-grade spiritual soil and spiritual spring water were the things plants loved most, which would likely increase the success rate. Not to mention, he also had his golden finger and the assistance of the Origin realm, making success highly probable.

If this technique truly worked, it would be a heaven-defying breakthrough in this world. Long Xuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

It's important to know that many rare spiritual herbs in this world are difficult to propagate, such as the Long Clan's Divine Dragon Wood.

The Divine Dragon Wood is so important to the family, yet to this day, there is only one tree in the entire clan, which shows how difficult it is to reproduce and retain seeds.

If he could truly research a grafting technique applicable to spiritual herbs, wouldn't he be able to grow an entire forest of Divine Dragon Wood? He could use as much eye drops as he wanted, apply it to all his Gu insects, the swarm, and even Chicken Brother.

The thought of this scene was terrifying, and Long Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He finally decided to give it a try. Even if it failed, it wouldn't matter. After all, the path of evolution for all his Gu insects wasn't limited to just one. If it didn't work, he could simply find another way. In any case, he would never use an imperfect method of evolution.

With this in mind, he knew that attending the Gu Battle Tournament on Eye Washing Day was a must. Long Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.

"By the way, what kind of illusion does Senior Sister's Evil Dragon Emperor Eye carry?" He couldn't help but ask curiously, remembering that Long Ziyan had just mentioned that the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye randomly draws from 108 types of illusions.

Long Ziyan didn't intend to hide anything and casually said, "It's called Soul Seed. My Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is of peak-grade quality, and the illusion it carries is very strong. This illusion is called Soul Seed."

"Soul Seed is a type of illusion that can recur repeatedly, imprinting itself on a person's soul for life. Even if the person breaks free from the illusion and is far from the caster, the illusion will still sporadically trigger, causing them to be in an illusion without realizing it."

"The illusion alternates between activating and fading, gradually making it impossible for the person to distinguish between illusion and reality. Eventually, they might doubt everything, possibly mistaking their loved ones for enemies and killing them, only to lose their sanity in the end."

"Among the 108 abilities of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye, the Soul Seed ranks within the top ten. It's challenging to awaken a top ten ability from the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye when the Gu formula isn't complete."

"Currently, only Long Chao and I possess the Soul Seed ability within the clan. Long Chao inherited it from our grandfather's generation, but I was able to refine it myself, thanks to my heaven-defying luck."

At this moment, Long Ziyan unusually displayed a look of pride.

Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, completely shocked by such an incredible illusion.

It was the first time he had heard of an illusion that could be carried for life, causing the victim to repeatedly fall into the illusion, gradually unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, and eventually break down. Such an illusion was terrifying enough to play someone to death.

Even he felt a twinge of fear towards this illusion, and his expression revealed a hint of apprehension.

At the same time, he mentally noted the name Long Chao, marking him as someone to watch out for.

After discussing the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye for a while longer, Long Xuan noticed it was getting late and took the initiative to excuse himself.

Upon returning home, the first thing he did was cut down a large portion of the branches from his Fire Dragon Fruit Tree. Since the fruit was no longer useful to him, it didn't matter if the tree was severely damaged—Suo gu would remember his generosity forever.

He then poured an entire storage bag full of Fire Dragon Fruit Tree branches in front of his Suo Gu.

Suo Gu was initially stunned, but upon realizing the quality of the branches piled high on the ground, its eyes lit up with an almost frightening brilliance. It quickly abandoned its current task, rushed over frantically, picked up the largest branch, and beamed with joy.

The Suo Gu tribe currently had a strong trend of comparing houses, with one's home determining their status within the tribe. Every Suo Gu strove to build the best house, earning the envy of their peers, so high-quality building materials naturally excited them the most.

Clearly, Suo Gu was very satisfied with the building materials Long Xuan had prepared for it, and it eagerly threw itself into constructing a grand villa.

It was clear that the half-finished house it had been working on was no longer wanted.

Suoguo's house-building skills were indeed impressive. It wasn't long before the framework of the house was completed.

Long Xuan watched with great interest from the side. He had to admit, watching these creatures build houses was somewhat addictive, and he began to understand the obsession of those Gu cultivators who had become infatuated with it.

But building a house is not something that can be done in a day. After observing for a while, Long Xuan left and returned to the cold pavilion, where he sat down to continue researching the improvement of the Dragon's Tear.

He wanted to enhance the eye drop’s effect on improving dynamic vision to its maximum potential and develop the most suitable eye drop formula for the Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

Improving a formula was much easier than creating a new one from scratch.

Even though the process of preparing Dragon's Tear eye drops was complex, he managed to improve the formula within just a month.

After renaming the formula to Dragon's Eye, he stored it away and stepped out of the pavilion.

The process of researching the eye drop formula had been surprisingly easy, almost too simple. Even though he had successfully developed a new formula, his face showed no sign of joy.

With the Dragon's Eye eye drop formula successfully developed, he immediately went to check on the Suo Gu. He was curious to see how the grand villa was coming along.

Before long, he saw a luxurious wooden villa appear before his eyes.

This villa was nothing like those built for human habitation. It gave him a dreamy feeling, as if it were something out of a painting.

Due to the mutation of his Fire Dragon Fruit Tree under the influence of the Ice God Flame, the branches exhibited two different states: one of ice and one of fire.

Although they were from the same tree, the branches were entirely distinct.

So, this Suo Gu had a wild imagination and built a villa that was half ice and half fire, with one side in icy blue and the other in fiery red. The two sides even had particle effects, like snow falling on one side and flames flickering on the other—it was truly beautiful.

In the middle of the villa, where the hot and cold met, the temperatures were neutralized, making it a perfectly comfortable place to live.

"But if it’s summer, you can go to the ice half of the villa to escape the heat. If it’s winter, you can go to the fire half of the villa to keep warm.

This is simply a villa that stays cool in summer and warm in winter—an ideal place for lazy people. The design is incredibly imaginative. He fell in love with it at first sight. Unfortunately, the house is still a bit small; he wouldn’t be able to stretch his legs if he moved in. Otherwise, he would definitely have occupied it by any means.

He couldn’t help but admire the Suo Gu; it truly deserves the title of master architect of the insect world, with an artistic touch in everything it does. This idea is absolutely brilliant.

He immediately rushed over excitedly, walking to the front of the Ice-Fire Villa, examining it closely with a look of excitement on his face.

Before long, he saw two small figures inside the villa.

One of the figures was proudly showing off the villa to the other, leading the way with a face full of pride.

The other small figure had stars in its eyes, looking at the villa with admiration, liking it more and more the longer it looked.

Seeing this little figure, Long Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh! Isn’t that Long Ziyan’s Suo Gu? Has it already been lured over? Well done."

Long Xuan showed a sly smile. It seemed that his Suo Gu had already established a connection with Long Ziyan’s Suo Gu, allowing them to freely appear in each other’s houses. This way, the two of them could exchange messages.

Long Xuan immediately wrote a letter and hung it around the neck of Long Ziyan’s Suo Gu.

The content of the letter was an invitation to go shopping together on the upcoming Suo Gu Day.

In Long Xuan’s view, this was essentially a date.

After touring the Sou Gu’s house, Long Xuan went to check on his other Gu insects.

The first one he checked was naturally the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm. At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm had already awakened and successfully completed its evolution, becoming a Spirit Gu on par with those in the Marrow Cleansing stage.

Right now, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm was diligently spinning silk, producing dark energy-shaped silk. So eager to start working already? Long Xuan was pleased.

Although the essence of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s silk is an energy form, it can still defend against physical attacks and can be held in one’s hand.

Long Xuan carefully picked up the almost weightless silk from the table, bringing it close to his eyes to study it intently. Slowly, a faint smile appeared on his face. The armor made from this silk would be called the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor.

However, making clothes is a skill he would need to find time to learn. It seemed that he would have to trouble his senior sister for guidance every now and then.

After studying the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s silk for a long time, Long Xuan found its toughness to be quite impressive. This was a second-grade Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm silk, and despite using all his strength, he couldn’t break it.

Other abilities of the silk had yet to be tested, and only after weaving it into soul armor could the full effects be seen. He couldn’t rush this process.

However, it was clear that the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s silk was a high-grade silk, and its production was naturally limited.

The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm consumes a lot but produces little. Long Xuan had waited for a long time, and it still hadn’t spun much silk.

This made him anxious—he almost wanted to pull the silk out by hand.

How long would it take to produce enough silk for a single set of clothes?

Moreover, he needed more than just one set. Shouldn’t all his clones wear a set?

Shouldn’t all his Gu insects wear a set?

The Ice Bees are so weak, shouldn’t they each have a set too?

Suddenly, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm shuddered. For some reason, it suddenly felt as though it was about to collapse, as if it was being drained dry.

Seeing the inefficiency of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm, Long Xuan eventually lost patience. He stopped waiting and walked towards a nearby wine jar.

When he got closer, he found that Little White was still soaking in the wine jar, like a snake soaking in wine.

Long Xuan couldn’t help but frown, but quickly his frown turned into a cold smile.

If it weren’t for the fact that he could see the progress, he would have been fooled by it.

Its evolution progress had disappeared, indicating that it had already successfully evolved.

Now it was pretending to be dead, lying in the wine jar, obviously wanting him to refill it with wine.

It actually wants a refill!!!

Such a cunning little thing, trying to trick him with these little tricks—it was still too naive.

Long Xuan reached in and grabbed it out of the wine jar, then shook it awake wildly…
