Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The system had told Lin Wu that using that absorption method was rather inefficient as it only gave the host about thirty percent of all resources from the target it was used was. This ration was from back when Lin Wu was still a small common mud worm.

But the system told him that now that he was in the qi refining realm, the absorption ratio had increased up to fifty percent for vital energy, while the absorption for the spirit qi was a full one hundred percent. This raised Lin Wei's hopes, as he knew that he could very well use this method.

Still, there was a problem that needed to be addressed. Even if Shirong listened to what he wanted, he wouldn't be the same always. There was even a chance that if Lin Wu demanded far too much, Shirong may just get suspicious of him or may even lose all inhibitions to check him.

Lin Wu also reckoned that while he could be safe by using the system to hide his traces, he didn't want to take the rare chance of being found out by a strong cultivator that was a few realms higher than he was. Even if the system told him that it could hide him, it was not an absolute and there were always chances that it could still happen.

Thus Lin Wu had to formulate a plan that would not only give him the vital energy and spirit qi but also give the man, Shirong some too. Lin Wu asked the system if it was possible to do this and the system said that as long as it was only spirit qi, it would be possible to give some of it to the man using the connection he had with him.

Finally, the plan was made concrete and Lin Wu started. Lin Wu incited Shirong to give him qi and then showed an unstoppable hunger for it. This prompted him to go kill another cultivator to get the spirit qi. Lin Wu had originally expected that the man would try it on a beast to be safe, who in their right sense would commit murdered upon listening to the words of a weapon, right?

But then Lin Wu raised that this was a cultivation world and the common sense of his past world didn't exactly work here and the people here could even be said to be deranged on a certain level.

Having come to terms with that, Lin Wu absorbed all the vital energy and spirit qi that the drunk man which Shirong had killed had. Since the efficiency of absorption was only fifty percent for vital energy, Lin Wu kept all of it. He didn't want to give this to Shirong anyway, as he knew that most cultivators only wanted spirit qi once they reached the qi refining realm.

Lin Mu had learned from the system that vital energy was only used by a few cultivators and it was rare for them to continue cultivating it even after reaching the qi refining realm. But Lin Wu still did not know what was the use of vital every beyond the qi refining realm as there was no knowledge about it in the system's data banks and he would just have to look for it in the future.

After all, Lin Wu wanted to know all of the avenues of cultivation in this world. He realized that if he was going to stay as a worm, then he may as well be the strongest worm of them all!

Lin Wu was able to absorb four hundred wisps of spirit qi from the drunk man, which the system converted to the liquid form. This showed Lin Wu that the man was an early stage qi refining realm cultivator and thus did not have much spirit qi, though he did give Lin Wu plenty of vital energy.

While Lin Wu did not want to give Shirong too much of the spirit qi, he knew that he had to develop a thirst in him. Thus he gave him half of the spirit qi that he had obtained, which came down to twenty drops of liquid spirit qi.

The man was clearly happy because of this as could be seen how carefully he had placed the spear on his lap and was gazing at him with gentle eyes… well, not really gentle but more of a creep's eyes.

Lin Wu knew that his plan had worked, and he had hooked the man. Now all he needed to do was to wait for him to go and kill more beasts or cultivates, it didn't really matter to him. After all, the person who kills is called the murderer, not the gun that released the bullet, that is merely the tool.

In this way, Lin Wu directed all of the guilt onto Shirong's head, effortlessly.

Now Lin Wu was just waiting for Shirong to put him back into the ring as he wanted to continue looking through the information that the system had obtained from killing the drunk man. He had also obtained a small data node, which had some new information.

***

Shirong was looking at the spear in his lap and had been for a while. During this time he had finally come to the decision that there was no way he was going to return to his clan now. The sole biggest reason for him to want to return there was so that he could gain his cultivation back. 

While he had to give a lot of spirit qi to the spear today, which had put him back to where he was at the start when he came here, it was only because he had made a mistake. Shirong now knew the right method was not to give it his own spirit qi but rather to use other beasts or cultivators.

"Now that I have you to give me spirit qi, what use I have from the clan. I can gain my cultivation base back much faster with you helping me and supplying me the spirit qi." Shirong said with a little chuckle.
