Chapter 17: Sequence 8 Wandering Soul
Chapter 17 Sequence Eight Wandering Souls
The forbidden talisman chain fell to the ground, the door opened, and then everyone saw a scene that was obviously carefully arranged.
A clean and tidy dark room, with an exquisite double-layer hardwood round table with a revolving top placed in the middle, and more than a dozen official hat chairs placed around the table.
When Li Yu stepped forward and placed the electric eel lamp on the table, the room suddenly became bright.
"Neighbors, please take a seat."
"I will be the first to make the deal. I have the boning knife that has knife skills but can make people brutal and crazy, the human skin scroll containing the vegetable man's song, the brain matter that can kill many mortals with one drop but has much less effect on extraordinary people, and a recipe for the vegetable man's secret medicine... These are the rare items I can offer for trading. Please make your bids."
As they were talking, all the evil cultivators followed Li Yu and sat down.
It seemed that this kind of "secret society gathering" was the first time for everyone, including Zhu Mei, the abbot of the Zhulao Temple, to participate and they felt it was very novel.
After hearing his words and seeing him introduce several rare items while placing them directly on the table, everyone's eyes lit up.
Trade with Li Yu!
Knowing everything about someone is like knowing your cards well.
Everyone in the field knew that this boy wanted to save his life.
There were a total of eleven evil cultivators in the room, and some of them did take a fancy to the rare items that Li Yu possessed.
The next moment, the pet dealer named Geng Jing opened his mouth and said:
"I have a kind of food called [Soul Locking Pills]. Well, it is the most advanced and special spiritual food I have. After eating it, you can not only fill your stomach, but also suppress the spiritual evil in your body."
"I don't know what's in your stomach, but I think it's the evil spirit that's corroding you. Why don't you try my pill? If it works, I want to exchange it for the poisonous brain."
"Here, try one first and feel how it feels."
As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and a stream of light flew over.
Li Yu stretched out his hand to take it and took a look. It was actually a pill as big as a pigeon egg, as black as ink, and emitting a faint odor, like a pill made from mud.
Although Geng Jing's words were a little obscure, everyone could understand them.
This pill is actually pet food.
I'm afraid he used it to tame some savage and violent monsters and evil pets.
However, because of his character, Li Yu didn't even hesitate and swallowed the meatball.
As soon as it entered the mouth, it turned into a cool and bitter smell that flowed into the stomach.
"Ok?"
Li Yu's face suddenly showed surprise.
It actually works!
The cool and bitter air was almost completely swallowed up by the forbidden eggs without leaving a single drop.
Li Yu also felt it immediately. The forbidden eggs, which had been violently stirring even in sleep, calmed down a little.
"It has some effect, but it's not obvious. It can only delay the disease for a while or two at most."
"If I can't exchange the whole brain, how about I cut off a part of it for you?"
"Okay, Old Geng, I won't take advantage of you. This gourd of Soul-Locking Pills will be enough for you to eat for a month. Just cut a bowl of brains for me."
"Can!"
When the conversation ended, Geng Jing threw another yellow gourd over.
Li Yu fetched another box, took the boning knife, and cut into the brain without mercy.
The moment the blade touched, the originally silent brain seemed to come alive, trembling and letting out a big man's scream.
Everyone in the room was familiar with the neighbors, and they knew who the owner of the brain was as soon as they heard it.
But no one showed sympathy or resentment, instead they all laughed and said:
"It seems that I guessed right. This is Boss Jiao's brain."
"Boss Jiao has worshipped the [Forbidden God] for more than ten years, and has eaten countless people. His body is full of botanical poison. It is normal for him to condense an extraordinary and strange creature after his death."
"Old Jiao wanted to buy a centaur from me to enjoy, but he didn't expect that I would buy his brain now. Centaur are a group of weird creatures who really like to eat human brains. Isn't this the best bait... It can be considered fate. I must make good use of it and catch a few more enchanting and beautiful centaur."
"Since Boss Jiao was able to extract strange objects after his death, I think Boss Sun's wife can do the same. What about hers?"
The last sentence was asked by Cui Yuan.
Li Yu had just divided the brain and handed the box to Geng Jing.
Hearing this, he did not hide anything and replied in an emotionless tone:
"After she died, she condensed into a [Activated Blood Sausage], which I sold to the Rouge Society for 1,000 taels of silver."
"I bought a maid and prepared a feast for the gods, but it was all spent after you ate it."
"hiss!"
……
Although most of the evil cultivators in Wanfu City are mentally ill, perverted and evil.
But basic human feelings are still there.
Even some evil practitioners who do all kinds of evil do so just to protect their loved ones.
And in the eyes of everyone, everything that Li Yu showed was considered to be extremely perverted.
They had no idea what had happened to this family. They could only guess that Li Yu, the "adopted son", could no longer bear being kept in captivity, so he killed his adoptive parents. After their deaths, he dug out his father's brains and pulled out his mother's intestines...
In order to survive, this person could cruelly break his own neck and even let the maid saw off his limbs alive. He is clearly a very qualified insane and evil cultivator.
People like Hong Sanquan and Sikong Nian in the field were muttering in their hearts: "This kid is really cruel. If I could be so crazy, I would have been promoted to Sequence Eight or even Sequence Seven long ago." His previous inexplicable insistence on "not eating people" was somewhat suspicious. Now it seems that perhaps it was an obsession that arose after encountering a major change?
Even if this kind of evil cultivator is trapped in a difficult situation, there is a chance that they can break free.
As these thoughts emerged, the looks that the evil neighbors gave Li Yu changed slightly, with less teasing and more respect.
From this change, we can observe and summarize an invisible rule of Wanfu City:
How can I make a name for myself in this place with such outstanding people and simple folk customs?
Simple, just be more perverted than them.
Li Yu had no idea what these people were thinking. After selling about one-third of Jiao Qing's brain, he looked at the other evil cultivators, but they all spread their hands, indicating that they could do nothing to help.
This makes sense. If the problem of forbidden egg parasitism could be solved so easily, the Forbidden God Cult would not have such a great reputation.
However, just as his eyes swept towards Zhu Mei, the evil monk who abbot of the Pig Lao Temple looked back at him with an even stronger look of regret.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and a look of amusement appeared on his face, and he said to Li Yu:
"Old Pig, I don't have any tricks or secrets that can solve the problem of the forbidden egg in your belly."
"But I can give you a way for free. I just said in the courtyard that if you pray sincerely to the evil god you follow, you will have a chance to receive spiritual guidance."
"Those with poor aptitude will also receive poor spiritual responses."
"If one has good aptitude, he or she will have the opportunity to obtain extremely high spiritual responses. Some geniuses may even be able to directly obtain a large amount of inheritance and quickly rise from the middle class to the highest level."
"For example, the doctor Hu Buku in Wanfu City who likes to turn suffering patients into zombies. He was originally a second-rate doctor who thought he was extremely kind and could not bear to see his patients suffer even the slightest pain. So he prayed to the extremely powerful evil god, the Kind Father, day and night for a month."
"When he disappeared for a while and reappeared, he was already a Plague God Pathway Sequence Six Strongman [Sick Corpse]."
"Boy, you have such potential. You can pray to the forbidden god day and night. Who knows, you may get extraordinary spiritual response, which can not only preserve your obsession and self, but also gain powerful strength."
"If you succeed in the future, please don't forget the favor I have done you."
……
As soon as Zhu Mei finished speaking, the other evil cultivators could not help but look at each other, and they all rejected this path in their hearts.
They can't get through!
Almost everyone in Wanfu City has heard of Hu Buku's reputation.
This person is very powerful and thinks he is extremely kind. He cannot bear to see anyone suffering from illness, so he calls himself a good doctor.
Unfortunately, his medical skills were poor and he couldn't cure anyone, so he chose to turn his patients into zombies.
As we all know, corpses cannot feel pain.
Hu Buku's idea was thus completed.
And he, along with other perverts, is counted as circumstantial evidence of the city's outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
"Because you can't stand seeing people suffering, you choose to kill all the patients. What kind of perverted logic is this?"
"And the evil god's name is Kind Father?"
"I thought it was a benevolent and righteous god. Oh my god, this is how it works?"
"Unfortunately, they are really perverted, but I, Li Yu, am just pretending."
While Li Yu was absorbing new extraordinary knowledge, he was complaining in his heart.
My understanding of Wanfu City has become deeper.
My determination to escape from this shitty place is becoming stronger.
Seeing that no one was interested in trading with him anymore, Li Yu quickly packed up his things and then prepared to speak, personally leading the pace again and guiding these neighbors to trade.
It would be best to exchange secrets, such as serial secret medicine formulas.
But just before he was about to speak, an old master in front of the round table, who was well-dressed and had a shrewd face, finally couldn't help but speak.
Li Yu was also deeply impressed by him. His name was Tan Buyi and he was in the spice business.
He has mastered some related evil arts, but for some reason, he has not practiced any of the divine paths.
At this time, he smiled and said:
"Everyone, since there is such a rare opportunity, I, Tan, would like to initiate a transaction."
"I want to buy a secret medicine formula, from an evil god, a righteous god, or some hidden gods. I only want the relevant divine path, which needs to be as complete as possible. If it is too incomplete, I don't want it."
"If anyone wants to sell something, please feel free to ask. As long as it's suitable, whether it's property, special spices, or some special requirements, I will do my best to meet your needs."
"Of course, the recipe for cannibalism that the Jiao family's little brother has is not acceptable. I, Tan, am not very interested in cannibalism."
……
After Tan Buyi finished speaking, the most excited person in the room was not the neighbor who had other secret medicine formulas, but Li Yu.
Emperor Tian pays off his hard work!
The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
The subsequent progress was smoother than he expected.
Perhaps because of Li Yu’s example, the enthusiasm of the evil cultivators was slightly ignited.
After hearing Tan Buyi's words, someone immediately responded:
"What a coincidence. I have a secret medicine formula that I don't need. Its divine path is extremely complete."
"It's just that it's not the common evil god in Wanfu City, but the righteous god Earth Mother, and her subordinate Yin Tianzi Path, Sequence Eight [Wandering Soul]."
