Chapter 39: Dantu Practice

Chapter 39: Dantu Practice
After Shi Dazhu left, Li Yu did not intend to fall asleep.

Instead, he was quite excited. He returned to the main house, lit the electric eel lamp, and began to study the messy and scribbled manuscripts.

It was a thick stack of pages that had been printed repeatedly. The ink was of varying depths in some places, making it quite difficult to read.

But each one is genuine and contains extraordinary information.

It’s just that compared with the content in Wanfu Daily, it is more colloquial.

"My fellow citizens, with the arrival of the Mission Day, after all the refugees from the three countries enter the city, the safe route out of Wanfu City will be closed. Anyone who tries to escape will lose all protection and will either die in the three forbidden areas or be hunted by other citizens. Please remember, if you want to leave, you have to pay taxes."

"My Gan Lin mother, this topic hasn't even been selected yet. What you said is that you can't intimidate the citizens. Isn't this a clear rule? Who are you intimidating?"

……

"Big news, big news. More than a dozen diners have complained to me that the Garuda Restaurant is bullying customers and does not allow them to give any bad reviews. Moreover, every time they go there to eat the same dishes, they often get short weight."

"An anonymous diner secretly revealed that a group of three or five friends went to the first floor for dinner. One of the friends had an old illness and couldn't control his temper. Because the dishes didn't suit his taste, he went to the kitchen to insult the chef and never came out again. Their table was given a free meal and a special dish, [Roasted Fragrant Pork], which the whistleblower said tasted like his friend's."

"Another big news. According to an insider, a descendant of the East District Overlord Xi Wang went to the Jialuo Luo Restaurant to eat a free meal. He happened to run into the owner of the restaurant, Zhu Can, and a conflict broke out between the two. As for the subsequent results, this newspaper will continue to pay attention..."

"Damn it, I can't post anything. What's the point of saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"? Should I, the Tiangong Sect, be afraid of a mere Xi Palace and an old cannibal?"

……

"The largest [Half-Human Pet] store in the city has experienced a mass escape of pets due to an accident. The owner hereby appeals to all city residents."

"Citizens who have found pets such as centaurs, dog dogs, spiders, cows, etc., please go to the Hehefang in the South District and return the pets. You will be rewarded handsomely."

"Haha, who would return this? Even if I found it, I wouldn't return it."

"Bah, the manuscript was withdrawn, saying it was originally a missionary plan to contaminate more powerful believers. How disgusting."

……

As he watched, Li Yu discovered.

These news that were not selected are more interesting than those that were selected.

Of course, the weight of extraordinary information is a little worse.

With the sound of turning pages, Li Yu's eye mask.

The fifth bubble of truth quickly charges.

But the speed is a little slower than when I read Wanfu Daily before.

Fortunately, the amount of waste manuscripts is large.

An unknown amount of time had passed before it was already daybreak outside, and Li Yu had finally finished reading the last scrap of manuscript, which contained insults written by an editor with the pen name "Dan Chenzi", venting his anger at not having his painstakingly prepared manuscript selected.

After reading it, Li Yu smiled brilliantly.

But there was some good news in his eye mask.

The fifth bubble of truth had been fully charged without anyone noticing, and the sixth bubble was now flashing and charging, and its progress had also jumped up a lot.

"Perfect!"

"From now on, we will do both. I want both the original and the discarded manuscripts."

"It's a pity that I'm not from the [Tiangong Sect], and I'm not practicing the path of the God of Craftsmanship. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to just apply for a job at the newspaper?"

After muttering, Li Yu quickly reached out and turned off the electric eel light.

Not wasting electricity has always been one of his good habits.

I looked at the sky and was about to calculate the time.

Suddenly, the familiar clicking sound was heard, and the bronze crowing rooster skillfully rushed out of the chicken coop, spewing choking fireworks, and pounced towards Li Yu.

"Master master!"

"Get up and sell meat."

"I'll sell you a sick chicken."

Li Yu, who always chose to be patient in the past, this time cursed and kicked him.

Then, ignoring the sick chicken that started flying around the yard, he called Hongdou and said in a very ostentatious manner:
"go!"

"Go spend money."

After staying up all night like this, most people would go to bed now.

But Li Yu is no longer an ordinary person after all, and he doesn't want to waste any more time before making sure that he is fully prepared.

In fact, if it weren't for the so-called "joint gold card" that required his personal presence to use, Li Yu would not have left the hospital, but would have sent Hongdou out to buy alchemy materials as before.

It took the whole morning for the master and servant to return home with lots of bags, and they were even followed by a number of shop assistants who were responsible for delivering the goods.

Twenty thousand taels!
Even for practitioners, it is a huge sum of money.

If a mortal gets it, he can live a life of luxury in Wanfu City, spend years in the Ecstasy Club, and buy many extraordinary pets like Centaur Girl, Spider Girl, and Cow Girl.

Li Yu spent half of it.

Except for some strange and bizarre sundries, most of the money was spent in the tobacco shop and the medicine shop. It was not until this time that Li Yu finally had some idea of ​​how much money the "Dan Tu Sequence" cost.

What made him even more upset was that although he had already refined the basic elixir [Explosive Flame Pill], strictly speaking, he had not yet started the formal alchemy training.

"The first step is taking the medicine."

"Alchemists need to use the art of taking medicine to pass almost all highly toxic minerals and drugs, as well as some special medicines, through their mouths, chew them into residue, and savor them carefully."

"Only in this way can we control the toxicity of the drug with great precision."

"Whether you are refining a basic pill formula or creating your own, you must pass this level."

"Of course, if I don't practice hard for my whole life and only refine the Explosive Flame Pill for throwing, I don't have to eat it."

Li Yu complained to himself, then with a tragic look on his face, he dived into the alchemy room.

Not long!
The fire inside hadn't started yet, but there were sounds of a lot of vomiting.

Occasionally, there were wails of pain and roars of "it tastes so bad".

……

In the alchemy room, there was a familiar large vat in front of Li Yu. It was the one he stayed in when he was reborn.

However, there was no cold liquid inside at this time, only a more disgusting mixture of various drug residues, saliva, and acid.

He stood in front of the jar with his mouth open, and kept stuffing red beans, highly toxic minerals such as cinnabar and mica, and medicines such as elephant gall and tiger penis into his mouth one after another.

Then chew it carefully and spit it into the jar.

Or, vomit it in.

Most of the time, it's the latter.

This is one of the side effects of Dantu's practice!

Although Li Yu's body already possesses toxic and drug resistance that surpasses that of ordinary people.

But if you eat too much, the cumulative effect is no joke.

What's more, as a Dantu, he doesn't have the ability to tolerate nausea, and none of these things taste good.

Time passes quickly.

No one knew how much Li Yu had eaten. He looked pale as a ghost, and his body was covered with growths of different colors. Many of them were swollen, and had tumors, sores, and other ominous signs.

Normally, he should stop detoxifying at this point.

But he didn't at all, as if he had entered some special state.

In the past, if he ate too much, he would not only vomit, but also have poisonous smoke and gas gushing out of his seven orifices.

But this time, it's very different.

No matter how much he eats, he only takes in and doesn't give out.

One after another, all kinds of strange and unrelated things were stuffed into his stomach.

The whole person was swollen and looked like a giant.

at last!

It seemed that a critical point had been reached. Li Yu's eyes, which had turned dead like fish eyes due to being tortured so badly, suddenly lit up.

He opened his mouth, which was already numb and covered with various sores, and shouted:

"red beans!"

"Turn on the furnace!"

Following his order, the preheated basic alchemy furnace behind him turned bright red in just a few breaths.

As soon as the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, terrifying heat gushed out.

Li Yu, however, seemed to have gone mad. He jumped up and fell directly into the furnace like a tired bird returning to its nest.

It was also thanks to the fact that his alchemy assistant was a mechanical maid like Hongdou.

If it were a living person, he would be frightened to death by Li Yu's terrifying behavior.

But it is red beans after all!

Without any commotion, he casually put the lid of the furnace back on.

At the same time, a cold mechanical voice came out of his mouth:
"Based on the current signs, the success rate of the pill that the master is about to refine is 80%."

"There is a 10% chance that the master will die suddenly in the alchemy furnace."

"The remaining 10% means the master has been poisoned and is out of control. At that time, the backup command can be activated to cut off the master's limbs, restrict his movements, and help him regain his sanity."
