Chapter 23: Promotion to Dantu and the Gift of Forbidden Eggs

It was not until he fell into the bottom of the terrifyingly hot alchemy furnace that Li Yu realized what he had done.

He took the secret medicine with his bare hands, which felt like a red-hot iron block... and swallowed it... and then stuffed the forbidden egg that had burst out of his abdomen back into his abdomen with his bare hands... The severe pain from his scalded hands and throat, and the strange pain of having his abdomen forcibly ruptured, were transmitted to him one by one in a delayed manner.

"Am I crazy?"

"Could it be that he has also been assimilated into this shitty world? Has he also become a pervert?"

"Well, it's not impossible. Being insane is better than being dead."

These sentences seem complicated, but in fact they are just a thought in Li Yu's mind.

When he fell, the crazy smile on his face did not disappear.

In the next moment, real pain, almost unbearable for a human, came like a tsunami.

Burn!

melt!

Li Yu felt that everything about him, whether it was his body or his soul, seemed to have been ignited and was rapidly melting.

And the source of this pain cannot be found.

Because this kind of "calcination" was started from the inside out, from the civil and military fires in the alchemy furnace, as well as the fire essence mixed with the essence of thirty-six highly poisonous minerals that he had eaten.

Even though Li Yu was in a special condition, he was burned and twisted and wailing.

First, his body carbonized instantly, and his whole body twisted and curled up. He wanted to let out a wail but couldn't, because when he opened his mouth, he could only see a red patch inside, and there was horrible smoke visible to the naked eye.

Normally, a human body that suffered such injuries would have been dead long ago.

But Li Yu is still alive.

In the twisting heat, the corners of his mouth even stubbornly wanted to break into a smile.

He couldn't curse with his mouth, but he was already cursing in his heart:
"Such a painful promotion ceremony is even more terrifying than water torture and the vegetable market."

"Have I boarded the wrong ship again? This [Spiritual Lord] sounds like a righteous god, but could he also be an evil god?"

Li Yu understood a little at this time.

The reason why this spiritual master path cannot become mainstream, besides because the gods above the sequence have fallen, the elixir transformation ceremony as the first level is probably also one of the reasons.

There are probably only a few people in ten thousand who can survive this kind of pain without going crazy or dying in agony.

As for himself?
Li Yu was also a little confused. He could feel all the torture and pain without missing a single drop, but every time he was about to go crazy, the remaining trace of rationality never disappeared.

It was this little bit of rationality that brought him rewards.

As he wailed, he used his remaining sanity to feel his body curled up like a baby over and over again.

I don’t know how long it’s been!

I don’t know how many times I’ve sensed it!

Suddenly, changes occurred in this moment.

In addition to the endless burning heat, he suddenly absorbed a wonderful feeling that brought him back to peace and coolness.

The soul that was originally overwhelmed by pain was saved a little.

"Is it cinnabar?"

I was confused at first, but soon became certain.

Because, this is just the beginning.

What followed was an endless flow of wonderful feelings, one after another, as if they were protecting his soul like a relay.

He carefully identified them and found that there were thirty-six types.

And with the alternating smelting of the civil and martial fires, these refreshing feelings began to mix and fuse, recombining into new beauty.

Corresponding to these, Li Yu's body, which was wrapped in a thick carbonized shell, also began to undergo some essential changes.

Gradually, he felt as if he had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and enlightenment arose in his heart:
"Is this the secret of the [Elixir Transformation Ceremony]?"

"As long as you can endure the pain of burning, your body is not broken, and your soul is not crazy, you can use the 'power of medicine' to fight the pain of the transformation process?"

"So, when I asked Hongdou to go to the Yanqi Pavilion to collect the formula, could it be considered as accidentally discovering the fundamental secret?"

"Since this pill transformation ritual is like this, I think it should be the same for all other gods, whether they are good or evil... For example, the "Vegetable Man Ritual" that Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang dared not take the risk of. No one dared to be tortured alive, but if they could hold on, wouldn't the strange flesh and blood in the secret medicine also bring special pleasure to offset the pain?"

Although Li Yu is not in the body of the bubble of truth at this time.

But he inexplicably felt that he had seen through a secret.

When he was about to continue to comprehend, suddenly, he heard a series of sharp and dense strange cries.

"Egg ban!"

"Is this thing still alive?"

Li Yu looked inward with doubt, at his body which was changing all the time, and in his abdomen, there was a strange "meat pill" being refined.

The egg filaments and tentacles of the forbidden eggs are extraordinary. They are tough and disgusting, and can also suck blood and paralyze people.

But it is meaningless under the endless fire energy inside and outside.

It shrank little by little, and the essence of the flesh and blood that was refined had no time to dissipate before it was engulfed by the power of medicine and fire and merged into Li Yu's body.

The face that originally looked sinister and chilling had already turned into a distorted and wailing appearance.

At this moment, not only did it not pose a threat, but Li Yu even felt sorry for it.

This face indeed instinctively begged for mercy, but was unsurprisingly ignored by Li Yu.

However, when it was completely calcined and refined, an unexpected "accident" occurred to him.

That face suddenly revealed a look of peace and relief.

At the same time, Li Yu felt very clearly that he had received an inheritance.

Surprisingly, these were the forbidden god recipes, forbidden god eyes, forbidden meat-eating techniques, and other inheritances that were infused into his body when he was possessed.

Originally, these were forcibly taken back when the forbidden egg was forced out of the abdomen.

But now, they have all come back inexplicably?

In addition to these, there are also a few scattered emotions and an extremely strong desire.

If described it would be:
"I hate... fear my father."

"This human child's fate is the same as mine... It's so fitting... I want to get out..."

"I want to eat people!"

"I want to eat meat!"

"I want to go back... No... I want to leave some things behind... I want to stay."

This was the first time that Li Yu had encountered such a misfortune.

But he soon remembered what he saw when Hongdou was cleaning the storage room and he looked at the forbidden god statue. The evil god kept giving birth to and devouring offspring.

I immediately had a guess in my mind:
"Once this forbidden egg matures, it will be called the [Son of the Forbidden God]. So it is indeed the offspring of the evil god called the 'Forbidden God'. If it is not summoned to the human world, its fate is to be born and eaten continuously. This Forbidden God does not find it disgusting."

"He has been parasitic in my belly for many years. Even though he hasn't been born yet, he already has the signs of a newborn."

"Seeing that there was no hope of rebirth, it chose to leave behind part of the forbidden god heritage because it was so compatible with the original owner and because of its obsession?"

Li Yu figured this out, but he didn't feel much joy.

He is now about to be promoted to "Dan Tu" and doesn't want to have anything to do with rookies anymore.

Besides, what does he want this inheritance for?
Once he achieves the status of a formal Sequence Eight monk, will he continue to be a cook?
The best plan is to find an opportunity to escape, leave Wanfu City, and live a good life in the three major countries of Qian, Jing and Li.

Just when Li Yu was extremely unwilling, it seemed that because of the touch of this inheritance, or the elixir-making ceremony, the final moment had arrived.

The boundless pain suddenly stopped.

An infinite sense of beauty wrapped around something, suddenly surging and drowning Li Yu.

He got promoted!

From this moment on, you will be out of the realm of mortals.

Officially transformed into the eighth level of the Spirit Master Path... Dan Tu!
Just as he was feeling ecstatic and wanted to moan, he also clearly felt his gain.

A mark similar to blood inheritance is infused:
"Dan Fire Technique!"

"The alien flames that can be rubbed with hands and spit out of mouth are far more incomparable to ordinary fire. Not only does it have incredible effects on alchemy, but it can also restrain some evil flesh and blood, cold and strange creatures. With the alchemy fire in the body, it can almost be immune to most parasitic attacks and negative effects."

"The art of taking medicine!"

"I can absorb the essence and nutrition of the target object by eating it, and at the same time identify its medicinal properties, toxicity, pollution, etc. There are two side effects of using this technique. One is that if the target object is too high, it may cause me to die on the spot. The other is that after repeated use, a large amount of toxic pollution will remain in the body, which needs to be expelled by self-refining in the alchemy furnace."

These two special skills were originally the rewards for being officially promoted to [Dan Tu].

Although Li Yu was delighted when he felt it, he was not surprised.

What really made him unbelievable was the third strange skill that appeared out of nowhere:

"The art of medicinal diet!"

"Based on extraordinary cooking skills, strange recipes and the many medicinal properties needed for alchemy are added. This technique can be used to cook a variety of medicinal and spiritual foods that are both delicious and therapeutic."

"This seems to be a strange technique that was created by burning the essence of the forbidden egg and then mixing and smelting it?"

"But what is this? A gift from the forbidden egg?"

Li Yu muttered.

Thinking of his previous disgust, he now hesitated whether he should say "It smells so good."
