Chapter 64: Desire to Refine the Ghost Pill
Chapter 64: Desire to Refine the Ghost Pill
You hour, at the city lord’s street entrance.
Li Yu, holding a delicate box in his hand, politely declined the invitation from the six members of the Ninth Pioneer Team to go to the Ecstasy Club.
After all, he was a "new teammate" they had just met, so the six of them didn't force him. They just laughed at him, saying he was a fledgling, and left together.
After spending a few hours together, Li Yu had some understanding of these six strong men:
The captain and leader of the war, seemingly bad-tempered and ferocious, but sometimes he has some thoughts. He is at the Blood God Path Sequence Seven and is undoubtedly the strongest force of the Ninth Pioneer Team.
Na Luosheng, on the other hand, is like a military strategist, and seems to have the power to see through everything.
Sang Zhu looks like a simple and innocent bald boy, but all the marks on his body make him look mysterious and weird.
Zhu Wu Gou, who was clearly a demon practicing the path of the Plague God, seemed to have a mysophobia and was unwilling to let out even the slightest bit of his stench, so he even covered his rotten body with a strange object.
Shu Fu, a practitioner of the Hanged King's Path, seemed to have a similar style. They exuded a sad aura all the time, but they never collapsed. They didn't really hang themselves, but occasionally they would feel impulsive when looking at other people's necks. If anyone had a world-weary idea, even if it was the captain or the leader of the war, he might help.
Mi Wuniang, a jade-like girl, as pure as snow, has been "tempting" him between the lines, but there is no substantial action, which makes people mistakenly think that it is just an illusion.
……
"It seems like he knows something, and even knows what kind of vicious backlash they have."
"But this is probably an illusion. The six people must have their true identities hidden, and their fighting methods and so on are unknown."
"But these are enough for now. There is still a long way to go. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I am happy to do this job."
With that thought in mind, Li Yu reached out to stop a monster bus and headed back to his residence a few blocks away.
That’s right, his house was not far from the main street of the city, so he didn’t have to plan for moving.
He turned around quickly and stood in front of the door but did not go in immediately.
Instead, he opened the employment box and saw four items inside:
Five thousand taels of silver notes, and additional compensation given by the camp to him as a survivor.
A strange candle, Sangzhu's compensation, a rare and strange item.
One token is a pass to enter the pioneer camp, and it also allows free rides on transportation such as the monster bus and patrol airship.
A giant bronze badge, the logo of the City Lord's Mansion staff. The huge "Fu" character in the middle seems to have some kind of special power. As long as you stand in front of the door, you will involuntarily look over there.
"Think back!"
"Sun Sanniang and Jiao Qing occasionally expressed their envy for the City Lord's Mansion during their conversations."
"If someone in a family can join the City Lord's Mansion, they are really lucky. If they hang the [Ten Thousand Blessings Emblem] on the door, ordinary evil cultivators will not dare to invade, and even the tax can be reduced by 10%."
"This couple only dares to dream of becoming a butcher and expanding their butcher shop business. As for working in the City Lord's Mansion? They have never even dreamed of that."
“I never thought that I could do it with this body.”
Li Yu's mind flashed with thoughts, and at the same time he took the badge and hung it above his door.
As if it were really magical, the overwhelming depression that had always existed in Li Yu's heart was dissipated a little bit.
"If I put this thing on, it will most likely stop the people from the Three Saints Gang from harassing me. They won't think of cutting out my organs and sewing them up for those three beasts."
"But I still can't avoid the unexpected disasters such as 'a powerful madman passing by killed me for no reason', 'a major power struggle affecting my family', 'a forbidden monster outside the city broke into the city and slaughtered everyone', or the identity of the leader of the Demon Star Order was leaked, and the Forbidden God Cult discovered my identity as the Son of the Forbidden God, etc."
"But at least, it can be considered as psychological comfort."
"Welcome home master!"
Before Li Yu could finish his muttering, the moment he opened the door, the originally gloomy and dark courtyard was suddenly illuminated by the orange-yellow light of the electric eel lamp.
Hongdou, wearing a Warring States robe and with a fox girl's face, walked out gently with the lantern in her hand and greeted them with a happy smile.
In a trance, Li Yu's depression was relieved a lot.
"In terms of cost-effectiveness, the transactions made these days are really the most worthwhile ones made by Hongdou. It's really a huge profit."
"Keep trying to fix her if you have the chance."
Li Yu muttered something, and then took his mechanical maid back to the master bedroom.
Unable to wait, he reached into his arms and took out something.
Weird sacrificial meat!
In order to save his life from the rampage of the Skinning Forbidden Ghost today, Li Yu had to use up his sixth Bubble of Truth and a Sorrowful Pill.
But unexpectedly, he fished this thing back, but he didn't dare take it out in the pioneer team's camp during the day.
Now is the time to study.
In Li Yu's palm, there was a mass of filthy, ugly and weird flesh and blood.
It looked like a pool of melted "snow mud", mixed with colorful incense ashes, minced meat that had been frozen for who knows how many years, unknown bone fragments, bronze fragments, and blood in a semi-solidified zone... The composition was extremely complicated.
When Li Yu looked intently at this mass of flesh and blood, an extremely strong ominous aura began to spread.
It was as if a thousand cold hands were caressing my body. My scalp was also gradually tightening.
But that was all, and Li Yu soon got used to the abnormality.
He hesitated for a few breaths, then glanced at Hongdou, who was standing beside him, as gentle as a maid from the Warring States Period. He remembered the "orders" he had set for her in advance, and felt a little relieved.
There are also thoughts that come to mind:
"This ball of [Strange Sacrificial Meat] comes from the Skinning Forbidden Strange. The power of that rule is unsolvable."
“At least below Sequence 7, if you encounter this thing, without my luck and support, you will almost certainly die.”
"The results of my observation with the Body of Truth have already been revealed. This thing can be used to make pills."
“If I can use the internal alchemy technique of Danhuo to refine a skinning pill… the method is a bit brutal and weird, but at least it can make me below Sequence 7 and almost invincible.”
"This way, whether it's the danger in the city or the Monster Star Order that may appear at any time, my chances of surviving and gaining a lot will increase dramatically."
"One hundred million profits!"
“It’s reasonable to take a little risk.”
"Besides, I am an alchemist."
When the last thought came to his mind, Li Yu had already stretched out a finger.
He dug out a piece of cold, rotten flesh the size of a fingernail from the mass of strange sacrificial meat and then stuffed it into his mouth.
The art of taking medicine!
It started to operate at an unprecedented speed.
……
That's right, Li Yu wanted to use this ball of strange sacrificial meat to create his own pill recipe and refine a strange pill that could steal part of the power of the skinning forbidden rules.
If it was an ordinary pill recipe, he wouldn't need to be so cautious.
But after all, this piece of sacrificial meat came from an unsolvable "forbidden monster", so it's better to be careful.
And the following facts also proved that his choice was right.
The moment the cold and sticky unknown sacrificial meat entered his mouth, Li Yu became rigid, and he felt as if all his clothes had been stripped off, no, even his skin.
Naked, buried in the permafrost that never melts.
Endless coldness came, unbearable emptiness and hunger overwhelmed him, and he began to long to be wrapped in warmth.
But the reality was that his muscles were stiff, his blood was turning into ice chips, and even his brain was turning into a lump of ice.
It was also at this moment that a bunch of blurry, thrilling and terrifying illusion fragments suddenly flashed in his mind.
as if?
At this moment, he himself became a skinned ghost.
Wandering with his ethereal body on an endless plateau of eternal frozen earth, he was seeing the unknown and extremely horrifying scenes there.
Although his body was suffering, Li Yu's heart and soul cheered.
The seventh bubble of truth!
Instant, perfection.
The eighth bubble also began to flash and charge.
Peeping into secrets seemed to have become a quirk of Li Yu's and he couldn't wait to immerse himself in it.
Until the next moment, there was a terrible noise from outside:
"Drip drip!"
"Warning, warning, the master is in an unknown negative state, and the preparatory order is about to be activated..."
"No, no, I'll do it myself."
This ruthless mechanical sound immediately pulled Li Yu out of the illusion.
From within his body that was almost completely frozen, an extraordinary alien flame suddenly arose from nowhere and spread throughout his limbs and bones in the blink of an eye.
The little remaining mysterious energy that was about to be consumed and refined by him was burned up completely, turning into wisps of icy air that gushed out from various acupoints.
Inevitably, a naked man appeared in that strange cold air.
At this moment, a bright smile appeared on the naked man's face.
Obviously, although there was a lot of torture in the process, the gain from this meal was not small.
"I have refined this strange pill."
