The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Chapter 117: The Completion of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm



After returning to the pavilion on the mountain, Long Xuan took a sip of the second-grade honey water and officially began researching the recipe for honey wine.

He had previously created four types of spiritual wine recipes in one go, gaining experience in creating his own recipes. Just like creating alchemical formulas, there are certain rules to creating wine recipes, so not every ingredient has to be guessed.

Long Xuan became quite skilled at this, and it only took him four months to successfully research the honey wine recipe.

He wrote the large characters “Returning Spirit Wine” on the recipe and added the note “◎Written By Long Xuan” under the title.

This wine recipe, primarily made from honey, was successfully developed by him.

Long Xuan put down his pen and revealed a satisfied smile.

He named this newly created spiritual wine “Returning Spirit Wine” because the honey produced by the Ice Bees has the effect of restoring spiritual power.

Naturally, the wine brewed from Ice Bee honey also has the effect of restoring spiritual power, and its efficacy is even better—about twice as strong as the Returning Spirit Pills available on the market. Given this, the wine recipe was aptly named “Returning Spirit Wine.”

In battle, having something that can restore spiritual power is incredibly important—almost a lifesaver.

You could say that medicines that restore spiritual power are essential in battle, needed by everyone.

Long Xuan was naturally very satisfied with such a practical ability.

At this moment, he was contemplating whether to hang a wine gourd on his waist and carry the Returning Spirit Wine with him as a must-have item for his future travels. After all, he had plenty of honey, and there was more Returning Spirit Wine than he could ever drink.

Most importantly, Returning Spirit Wine is delicious—sweet, and with different flowers infusing it with different flavors, it never gets boring.

He smiled as he handed the recipe to the Fire Clone, ordering it to immediately brew the Returning Spirit Wine, distill it, fill a wine jar, and then throw Little White into it to see if it could undergo a evolution.

After consuming the items sent by Long Lie, the Dragon Gu had already successfully transformed; it couldn’t fall behind for too long.

In the anxious waiting that followed, two more months passed, and on this day, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm finally completed its transformation.

Long Xuan had already calculated the time based on progress hints, so on this day, he got up early and waited by the cauldron. Before long, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm broke out of the cauldron. The moment it flew out, Long Xuan, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed it and immediately made a blood pact with it.

The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s primary material was the Ten Thousand year Ice Silkworm, so it looked very similar—chubby, ice-blue all over, and extraordinarily cute.

Long Xuan instantly liked this adorable little creature, caressing its chubby body lovingly, his smile so wide it could hardly stay contained. He gave it a cute name: Xiao Meng (Little Dream).

There was no need to elaborate on Little Dream’s abilities; its power lay in spitting out energy-formed silk. This silk could be used to weave the legendary Soul Armor.

The Soul Armor could not only defend against physical attacks but also against soul attacks, spiritual power attacks, sonic attacks...

In short, it could defend against everything—extremely powerful, to the point of being overwhelmingly so.

The most crucial feature is that the energy-formed Soul Armor has no physical form and can be directly fused onto the body’s surface, even protecting areas like the eyes, which are typically impossible to shield.

Once wearing this Soul Armor, Long Xuan would have no weaknesses; every part of his body would be protected, which is simply astonishing.

Although Long Xuan was eager to craft the Soul Armor he had envisioned, he ultimately did not rush.

Now was not the time for the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm to spin its silk—it had no food in its stomach, so how much silk could it produce?

The silk it produces is not made out of thin air. Previously, it needed to consume large quantities of spiritual leaves to spit out various exquisite silk threads.

In other words, the better the quality of the food it consumes, the higher the quality of the silk it produces.

Thus, Long Xuan didn’t dare be stingy, pushing a large amount of spiritual herb leaves in front of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm, intending to let it eat its fill.

The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s diet consisted of leaves from various spiritual trees—the higher the grade of the spiritual tree, the better. Only then would the silk produced by the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm be more resilient.

Upon seeing the table full of spiritual leaves, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s little eyes immediately lit up with delight. It quickly dove into the pile of leaves, and with a bite, it took a crescent-shaped chunk out of one. In a few more bites, it had devoured the entire leaf.

After swallowing one leaf, it pounced on another, raised it, and stuffed it into its mouth. Before long, another leaf was downed.

However, despite having consumed such a large leaf, its small belly didn’t swell at all. Still hungry, it cast its greedy gaze toward the remaining leaves.

What happened next left Long Xuan utterly speechless—the pile of spiritual leaves on the table was visibly shrinking at a rapid pace, and before long, half of them were gone.

The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm’s stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, eating without any signs of fullness. Despite its small size, it could consume food a hundred times its volume, which was simply terrifying.

Seeing this, Long Xuan was completely stunned. Could this be another big eater? Could he afford to raise it?

This little fellow’s appetite was on par with Little White’s. Was he really going to raise two big eaters?

Just as Long Xuan was still in shock, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm finished all the spiritual leaves on the table and looked at him with pitiful eyes, seemingly still not satisfied.

Long Xuan was completely numb. There was nothing he could do; he had to raise whatever he had created, no matter how much it ate. Long Xuan rummaged through his storage bag and found that all the leaf related items had been devoured by this little fellow.

After searching for a long time, he finally took out three fallen leaves from a Fire Dragon Fruit tree and placed them on the table.

He thought that the energy from the leaves of a earth-grade spiritual herb was enormous enough to stuff it, right?

As soon as the three leaves appeared, the Heveanly Dream Dragon Silkworm's eyes lit up with a fiery gaze. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it was far more excited than when it saw the entire table of spiritual herbs earlier, which clearly showed its deep affection for these spiritual leaves.

It pounced on the three fiery red leaves like a ravenous wolf and devoured them in no time, swallowing all three leaves in just a few bites. Finally, it let out a satisfied burp, seemingly full at last.

Long Xuan finally let out a long breath. It was finally full. Now that it had eaten its fill, it was time to get to work.

Long Xuan's eyes gleamed with greed as he looked at it with a smile, saying, "Little Dream! Now that you're full, shouldn't you get to work? Your master still needs a set of clothes, and I'll have to rely on you."

However, just as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm curled up into a ball, closed its eyes, and immediately fell asleep, without even glancing at him.

Long Xuan's face instantly darkened.

Did it really intend to eat without working?

Just as he was about to pull it up, his hand suddenly froze in mid-air, his expression turning strange as he sensed that something seemed off.

The spiritual energy within the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm had suddenly become violent, surging wildly throughout its body, and a tremendous transformation was occurring inside it.

The feeling it gave him was as if... yes, it felt like a breakthrough.

He had personally experienced this sensation before.

At this moment, Long Xuan suddenly stood up, completely unsettled.

Amazing! He had inadvertently fed it something that triggered its transformation.

The leaves of a Earth-grade spiritual herb turned out to be the catalyst for the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm's Evolution.

Following this pattern, one of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm's Evolution paths might be that every time it consumes the leaves of a Earth-grade spiritual herb, it undergoes a Evolution.

He had accidentally discovered a Evolution path for the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.

However, this evolution path was rather difficult. Earth-grade spiritual herbs are not easy to find. The fact that he had managed to find a Fire Dragon Fruit Tree was already an incredible stroke of luck. How could he have the luck to find a second type of Earth-grade spiritual herb?

Moreover, if he wanted the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm to keep evolving, finding just a few Earth-grade spiritual herbs wouldn't be enough. He would need a whole bunch of them, and this thought gave him a headache.

At this moment, Long Xuan was both surprised and delighted.

What a coincidence! Unexpected things happen all the time, and the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm had unexpectedly started its evolution right after being born.

It unexpectedly outpaced Little White, completing its metamorphosis first, which meant little white could no longer hold onto second place and would have to settle for third.

Long Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, and placed it into the insect-rearing pouch, allowing it to undergo its transformation slowly.

The fact that the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm had just emerged and immediately began to evolve was a good thing. He could now wear a second-tier Soul Armor right away, without needing to transition from first-tier Soul Armor.

Feeling excited, he ran towards the large wine jar again.

Beside the pavilion, there was a giant wine jar, and inside it was soaking Snake Wine. A small white snake was floating inside the jar.

Long Xuan planned to check on Little White's condition. He ran over to take a curious look into the jar and discovered that the intensity of the Returning-Spirit Wine was too high. Little White had drunk herself into a stupor again and was now floating on the surface of the wine, eyes tightly shut, completely still.

Drinking had caused it to mess up again, and it seemed like he was definitely going to be in third place now...

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly and finally turned to leave.

Now that three peak-grade Gu insect had successfully evolved, it was time to consider the evolution of the Eye of Heavenly Secret.

As for how the Eye of Heavenly Secret could evolve, he had no clue. This was a Gu insect he had created himself, and its evolution would have to be figured out by him as well. There were no ready-made answers to follow.

After much thought, he decided to seek guidance from his senior sister.

He planned to see how the Dragon Clan's Evil Dragon Emperor Eye had evolved. Both were eye-based Gu insect, sharing many similarities, so perhaps he could learn something.

Of course, this was only one reason. The main purpose of visiting Long Ziyan was to strengthen their relationship.

Frequent contact was necessary to build familiarity. Otherwise, long periods of silence would create distance. Long Xuan decided to occasionally ask her questions about cultivation, using that as an excuse to visit her. Over time, they'd naturally grow closer; after all, all couples start from familiarity.

In any case, he was acting under the orders of the Elder Long, so his reasons were entirely legitimate.

Long Xuan, with ambitious intentions and ulterior motives, smiled as he ran towards Long Ziyan's cave.

With his Star-Stepping speed, the distance between their caves wasn't far, and he reached it in about an hour.
