Chapter 40 Li Yu's Kindness

In the bright and strange alchemy room, streams of strange gases gushed out accompanied by terrifying heat.

There are all kinds of colors and smells, and they are extremely unpleasant.

If a living person were here, he would be poisoned to death on the spot.

Of course, there's nothing you can do to a mechanical maid.

Hongdou stood in front of the alchemy furnace, waiting for an unknown amount of time, without changing his posture. He just scanned back and forth with his pair of mechanical eyes glowing red.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang bang bang" sound from the furnace in front of her. The heat suddenly increased, steaming and baking the poisonous gas until it was distorted.

"Warning warning!"

"The temperature of the alchemy furnace is out of control. The inner shell is about to break. The probability of the furnace exploding is increasing. 50... 60... 70 percent."

"The furnace is about to explode!"

"Activate the backup command to prevent the owner from losing control and escaping."

Along with Hongdou's cold and ruthless voice, a familiar hissing sound was heard. This time, she not only took out the chainsaw sword, but also the electric blade gun and defensive shield, and put them aside for use.

The next moment, the alchemy furnace exploded.

Fragments flew everywhere and smoke and dust surged.

Li Yu, who was naked, stood up while coughing and looking for his maid.

Just looking up, I heard the roar of the chain saw and the cute and lovely fox girl face of Anko.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"I'm not out of control."

Li Yu didn't care about the discomfort coming from his body and quickly called for a stop.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted having stored the "master's secret order" for this unfortunate child. Once the conditions were met, she would take action without hesitation.

In normal state, Li Yu could not block her chainsaw sword, not to mention that she was in full negative state at this time.

If he had shouted one second later, his arms would have probably fallen to the ground.

As soon as Hongdou stopped, Li Yu had no time to continue complaining. He suppressed the unspeakable pain in his stomach, suddenly burst out of smoke, quickly took out a rosewood box containing elixirs, and then he suddenly opened his mouth.

The next moment, a "vomit" sound was heard.

With his saliva dripping and the corners of his mouth cracked, he spat out a fist-sized, round, black pill with a metallic luster, and it fell into the box.

After spitting out the pill, Li Yu suddenly felt relaxed all over, and all the negative states were swept away.

A look of fear and relief appeared on his face.

Judging from his expression, the crazy and exciting alchemy scene just now was not something he did voluntarily.

"I don't know whether to say I am lucky or have bad luck."

"At the first stage of the alchemy training, I triggered [Enlightenment] and was forced to use the furnace state to refine the elixir."

"In the normal order, I should slowly use the alchemy furnace to refine dozens of pills, and then slowly advance to the furnace version, that is, use my body as the alchemy furnace, release the alchemy fire for internal refining. At this stage, alchemy disciples can create their own pill recipes."

"It's a good thing that this basic alchemy furnace maintains the external temperature for me. Otherwise, I would have burned myself to death if I had started internal cultivation as soon as I arrived."

"Could it be the inertial side effect left over from the last time I smelted the forbidden egg? Why do I want to jump into the furnace as soon as I see it?"

Li Yu kept complaining to himself.

Then he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, his burning eyes fell on the inordinately large elixir.

Although it was just a coincidence!
But this pill was indeed created by him.

An extremely complicated recipe and related information emerged in my mind:

"Unnamed elixir!"

"From the formula, it has a little bit of everything. The amount and taste of the weird things I just ate almost caught up with the food that Jiao Qingsun Sanniang fed her original body over the years, and it also vented all my negative emotions..."

"Can this thing be eaten? If I swallow it, I won't end up like Yi Ya."

"Try a little and see. You won't die anyway. The most you can do is vomit."

While muttering, Li Yu had already reached out his hand to pick up a small piece of the fist-sized elixir and put it into his mouth.

The Dan meat, still stained with his saliva, instantly turned into an extremely bitter and cold breath, which penetrated into his limbs and bones.

Next breath!
He transformed.

The scene was somewhat similar to when he transformed into the [Son of the Forbidden God].

The limbs turned into sharp claws, the muscles swelled, the skin hardened, a scarlet vertical eye grew between the eyebrows, and at the same time, large patches of flame-like "stripes" crawled all over the body...

It has some elements of the Son of the Forbidden God, but it is very different and even more sinister.

If that were all, it would be fine, but there are terrible things to come.

After the transformation, a strong murderous intent and a cold indifference to the world suddenly rose in Li Yu's heart, which should have been calm.

Driven by this emotion, he disappeared in the alchemy room in a flash. When he came back in the blink of an eye, he had a flashing coroner's scalpel in his hand.

Kindness knife!

When Li Yu held the knife, the murderous intent reached its peak.

In a trance, Li Yu felt like a combination of "Son of the Forbidden God" and "Yi Ya".

If it weren't for the last bit of rationality in his mind, which seemed to be completely locked up and could not disappear no matter what, I'm afraid he would have gone on a killing spree.

It was his remaining sanity that caused Hongdou on the opposite side to fall into confusion.

The chainsaw sword was sometimes raised and sometimes put down, and it was obviously unable to determine whether the master was crazy or not. Fortunately, her wisdom was recovering. If it was the original red bean, it would have been frozen and smoking by now.

Fortunately, the time limit of the elixir had also expired. The bitter breath dissipated, and he blinked to regain all his sanity, and the abnormality on his body immediately faded away.

The doubts that had previously existed in his eyes also dissipated at this moment, and turned into sighs:
"The first self-created pill formula that was born out of an unexpected epiphany actually used up all my accumulation during this period?"

"That's right. Apart from the Son of the Forbidden God and Yi Ya, and my suppressed mental state during this period, I don't have any other inspiration."

"It's okay, I'm not really crazy."

"This pill is also a good one. Taking a small pill can maintain the form just now for about ten breaths. If you add this coroner's blade, even if you can't catch up with Yi Ya in his non-brain-dead form, the difference should not be too big."

"You have to dig it out when you eat it. If you swallow it whole, you will either choke to death or be in danger."

"As for the name of this pill recipe, why not call it [Compassion Pill]?"

Li Yu was thinking about what name to choose, but when he saw the coroner's blade in his hand, he copied it very hastily.

At this time, he was in a very good mood.

Although the past few hours, his first alchemy practice, had been like torture to him.

The method of producing the elixir is also extremely disgusting.

But the harvest was beyond expectations.

Once refined in the furnace, all the fatigue and discomfort in the body disappeared.

The greater gain is his "heart and soul". From the time he was reborn and possessed his original body to today, he has experienced too much. He is almost always in a tense situation of life and death crisis, and often has to listen to the forbidden god's cannibalistic songs.

If it were another ordinary person, even someone as ruthless as the original self who could mutilate himself into a human pig, he would either have gone crazy or obediently joined the evil camp and became a pervert who enjoys eating people without restraint.

For example, Yi Ya, Jiao Qing, Sun Sanniang and all the neighbors, they were not born crazy, and they probably became corrupt because of something they experienced.

Li Yu was not crazy, he just suppressed a lot of negative emotions and became anxious and radical in his behavior.

Now, this state seems to have disappeared, as he has refined it into the [Compassion Pill].

"But I'm afraid it will be difficult to refine this pill a second time in such a short period of time."

"It's a big waste of elixir materials, and the alchemist has to be depressed enough to be on the verge of going crazy. The process is painful, and the result is disgusting... If I write this elixir recipe out, I'm afraid no one in the same profession will dare to test it?"

At this point in his thought, Li Yu suddenly understood why many pathways had sequences for refining elixirs and medicines.

But there are very few common prescriptions for elixirs and medicines.

Obviously, each of them has their own irreplaceable secrets.

With a snap, Li Yu closed the box, put away the huge Ci Xin Dan that was still stained with his saliva, and then called his maid:
"red beans!"

"Contact the salesman Shi Dazhu and ask him to send me another basic alchemy furnace, as well as 20 portions of fire essence and fire minerals. Then ask him to purchase the following strange objects and extraordinary ingredients for me..."

"Well, go out and get me another set of clothes."

Li Yu finished speaking all at once, but he felt like he had forgotten something.

Finally he realized that he was still naked, and quickly added.

After Hongdou went to work, Li Yu stood at the door of the alchemy room, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and couldn't help but continue to think:

"With the unexpected surprise of the Compassion Pill, my ability to protect myself has been greatly improved."

"Next, it's time to prepare some pills for escape, such as the [Shenzu Pill] in the basic pill recipe."

"Compared with several other recipes, this one has the best cost-effectiveness."

"As for the direction of recovery treatment... let's use medicinal food and see if we can make a cheap and effective medicinal food."

Li Yu had these thoughts because of his discovery.

In order to achieve the perfect preparation in his mind, it was impossible to spend all the remaining 10,000 taels, so he could only use it as sparingly as possible.

Of course, there are some areas where savings cannot be made.

For example, if he asked Shi Dazhu to do the purchasing for him, he could take Hongdou to the Taiping Market and purchase the goods one by one without getting tired of it, which would definitely save a lot, but that would be too time-consuming and would add some unforeseen risks. It would be better to pay a little more and let the Tiangongjiao salesman who was already fully familiar with the matter do it.

The creation of the Ci Xin Pill was an unrepeatable accident; his original intention was only to practice the art of "taking it" first.

"There's still one day and one night left. I hope it'll be enough."

"I hope that these preparations, preferably with the addition of red beans, can be brought into the so-called strange spiritual world."

……

One day and one night passed in a flash.

It was still the courtyard, but this time it was in the kitchen.

Surrounded by wisps of fragrant aroma, Li Yu looked at the thumb-sized fresh meatballs piled up in the big pot in front of him with a look of anticipation and confusion.

Well, too fresh.

The whole thing is scarlet, as if it has been kneaded but not yet cooked.

All kinds of meatballs!

Li Yu consumed a large amount of precious ingredients, especially the flesh and blood of strange creatures shipped from outside the city, before he succeeded in experimenting with a medicinal diet.

Of course, compared with regular elixirs, the cost is still much lower.

He had spent all of his remaining ten thousand taels. In addition to refining twenty more Explosive Flame Pills, he also bought five Divine Foot Pills. The remaining small portion was used to experiment with the Hundred Flavor Meatballs.

Unlike the [Nine-Turn Immortality Soup] that killed Yi Ya, Li Yu was sure that these meatballs were edible, and each one had extraordinary effects. A small side effect was that each one had a different flavor, so it was called a hundred flavors.

As for which flavors?

Li Yu himself couldn't be sure.
