The Four Flavors Liquor Worm is a rank two upgrade of the Liquor worm that refines a Gu Master's rank two primeval essence up by one small realm.
Fang Yuan plans this fusion from prior-life memory while still on Qing Mao Mountain: two Liquor worms plus wines of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors. ch. 105 He completes the fusion in a secret room, using redberry wine, golden honey wine, bitter shell wine, and white grains liquid, and obtains the worm on the first try. ch. 121
Appearance
Compared with the Liquor worm, there is not much change in its external form, except that it is slightly bigger. It also resembles a silkworm and has a tiny pair of shiny black eyes. The Liquor worm’s body is completely white, but this worm’s body continuously flickers with four colors: red for spicy, blue for bitter, green for sour, and yellow for sweet. ch. 121
Form and rank
It still looks like a silkworm and keeps a tiny pair of shiny black eyes, only slightly larger than a Liquor worm. Four colors flicker on its body: red for spicy, blue for bitter, green for sour, and yellow for sweet. ch. 121 Chapters 202 and 326 name it a rank two Four Flavors Liquor worm on the liquor-worm ladder. ch. 202 ch. 326
Effect
After Fang Yuan advances to rank two upper stage, his crimson primeval essence passes through the worm and, with primeval stone replenishment, becomes rank two peak stage dark red primeval essence. ch. 145 Chapter 121 already notes that the newly refined worm can refine rank two primeval essence by a small realm; chapter 326 states the same step as purifying red steel primeval essence by a small realm. ch. 121 ch. 326
Second life feeding
Its food is fine liquors. Wine stored in tusita flower can support it for about half a year before he must find more liquor or reverse-refine it back to a Liquor worm. ch. 202
Rank one gap after rebirth
After rebirth he is rank one again. The four flavor liquor worm only works on rank two Gu Masters, so it is useless to him until he reaches rank two. Reverse refinement could yield a rank one Liquor worm, but he lacks the required materials then. ch. 212
With Bai Ning Bing
Once Fang Yuan is rank two with red steel primeval essence, he can use the worm again, but Bai Ning Bing’s snow silver primeval essence is better for refining his aperture, so the worm loses its use while she is available. ch. 239
Fusion path steps
Two four flavors liquor worm plus seven spices fuse into seven fragrances liquor worm. In Shang clan city Fang Yuan already holds one four flavors liquor worm, fuses a second, then uses both toward seven fragrances and finally nine eyes liquor worm. ch. 326
Path
