Using his spiritual force, Su Jing was able to detect the slender worm inside the mouse’s abdomen and hypnotize it, taking control of it. After a short while, the worm emerged from the mouse’s mouth and wriggled on the ground.
“Huh?” Su Jing was surprised to see that the bug had not only grown slightly in size but also became more clear and translucent, almost as if it had been flooded. It no longer looked as unpleasant as a typical bug. In addition, its mental fluctuations seemed to be much stronger.
Su Jing realized that the worm was probably absorbing the nutrition digested by the mouse and using it to grow.
He also recognized that both this worm and the snake-shaped Gu worm were very weak in comparison to his own spiritual force, and he could easily hypnotize and tame them.
However, because Gu worms are so strange and have the ability to undergo so many changes, Su Jing had to be cautious when dealing with them.
Su Jing gave the mouse more rice, and this time it only ate for a short while before becoming full, a far cry from its previous ravenous appetite. Then, he let another mouse eat the long worm, and that mouse also became a big eater, consuming a lot of food.
Su Jing observed that when rats ate this slender worm, they did not experience any negative effects or problems with their bodies, nor did they gain any benefits.
It was clear that this bug was a parasite, but unlike other parasitic bugs, it did not pose a threat to the life of its host. When the host’s body was low on energy, the bug would stop absorbing nutrients and know how to restrain itself.
However, Su Jing noticed that the bug would send out hunger signals, causing the host to keep eating and providing it with a constant supply of nutrients.
It appeared that the bug would also indirectly affect the host’s metabolism, allowing the host to speed up digestion and excretion. In short, the bug was using the host as a tool for feeding.
Su Jing found the bug to be interesting, but he knew that it could not be used to protect people. So, he put the bug into his Spirit Beast bag.
He decided to name the two Gu worms that he had discovered. The snake-shaped Gu worm was called Snake Gu, and the slender Gu worm was called Big Stomach Gu.
Su Jing used his spiritual force to examine each of the mice and discovered that the bugs they had eaten were all dead. Some of them no longer existed, which indicated that they had likely been digested.

Su Jing concluded that these were probably just ordinary bugs and not Gu worms. Despite this, he decided to continue feeding the worms to the mice, just in case.
He knew that even ordinary trash from the Immortal Gourd Universe could pose a threat of invasion, so he decided to hold on to the remaining worms for now.
“I don’t think I can think of a way to protect them for some time. I can let Luo Qilin and Bai Hetu protect them for the time being.” Su Jing thought, planning to put this matter aside temporarily and continue to clean up the garbage.
Su Jing noticed that Little White Mouse was repairing some of the tattered pieces of paper from the pile of garbage. Now that he knew that this garbage was from the Immortal Gourd Universe, there was no need to rush to examine the papers.
Su Jing decided to prioritize cleaning up the other garbage first and come back to the papers later.
Su Jing approached the pile of metal garbage and began sorting through it. He picked up a rusty, broken sword that had no talisman on it and no value as a repair item. The lack of a talisman indicated that it was not even a Talisman Tool.
There is only one Little White Rat that had the ability to repair items, but its spiritual force was limited, so it quickly became tired. Therefore, it couldn’t repair everything, and Su Jing had to carefully select which items to focus on.
Of course, even if there is a talisman, it may not be able to be repaired and become a Talisman Tool.
Previously, Su Jing had found a fan with talismans and asked Little White Mouse to repair it. However, even after the restoration, the fan remained an ordinary object, unlike the Relic, Painted Skin, and time-showing Bronze Mirror that had special abilities.
The problem was that the talisman on the fan was damaged and missing, which meant that it was beyond Little White Mouse’s repair abilities. The lack of energy fluctuation on the talisman indicated that it was no longer functional.
As Su Jing rummaged through the garbage, he only found scraps and small, disorganized items. However, after searching for about two hours, he suddenly came across a giant sword.
The sword had a strange, elongated shape and was larger and heavier than a saber. It was covered in rust and had no talismans on it, indicating that it was likely just an ordinary, broken sword.
Su Jing was about to throw the sword aside, but then he noticed something strange. On the spine of the sword, there were nine Sanskrit characters that were glowing with a faint golden light.
Su Jing looked at them closely and his eyes lit up as he realized what they were: “Nine-character Sanskrit! This is the Nine Character Great Sun Light Incantation!”
While the Nine Character Great Sun Light Incantation is not a particularly rare or valuable technique in the Western Regions or the Immortal Gourd Universe, it is still a useful spiritual incantation that can be used to cultivate spirituality and purify evil spirits.
It may not be an advanced or highly coveted technique, but it is still considered to be useful and worthwhile for spiritual cultivators.
Su Jing is not a monster, nor has he raised any monsters, so there is no need for him to downplay the value of the Nine Character Great Sun Light Incantation. However, he does recognize that incantation is useful for cultivating spirituality.
In fact, he has been considering ways to make the Honeybees more wise and spiritual, and he thinks that the Nine Character Great Sun Light Incantation could be a useful tool for this purpose.
“Wait, let’s not get too excited just yet, I need to try to see if it works.” Su Jing thought to himself.
Su Jing focused his attention on the nine Sanskrit characters, memorizing them carefully. He then began to meditate, using the techniques he had learned from the Way of Silence and the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture to help him enter a state of calm and clarity.
