Chapter 94: How to Advance to a Taoist Priest

Chapter 94: How to Advance to an Alchemist (Two Chapters in One)

At this moment, Li Yu was thinking about taking back his comment on Hongdou's cold and stiff body.

The mechas that fell off her body and covered Li Yu seemed not to be made of metal at all. They felt soft, even a little wet and sticky, and were heated by the fragrant red mist.

Li Yu seemed to be wearing a strange set of clothes, and every corner of his body was penetrated and covered.

In a trance, he once again recalled the pistil flower demon he encountered during his first expedition to the Strange Territory.

The difference is that red beans are not so sexy.

Just weird and complicated.

This special experience brought Li Yu also made him once again curious about the origin of red beans.

The sticky armor covered and penetrated Li Yu, probably collecting his Qi.

During this process, Li Yu also achieved a "reverse" perception of red beans.

Very vague, very faint, as if just some emotional fragments attached to the microscopic world of its body.

"Fighting and killing...high intelligence...unwilling to...liberate?"

"This sense of vicissitudes... Hongdou is definitely not just a sequence 7 Linglong doll!"

Li Yu suddenly said with certainty in his heart.

After his body was completely covered by this "special mecha", there was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a cute mechanical fox jumped out on the screen as if on an electronic screen.

The familiar mechanical voice sounded again:
"Fingerprint collection completed...body fluid collection completed."

"Qi machine collection completed!"

"The recognition of the master has been completed!"

"The owner is a 16-year-old human male. Physical examination showed no abnormalities, but psychological examination showed... some abnormalities."

"It is suspected that they are in an environment with excessive pressure and high mortality rate. They are defensive to everything around them, have a strong desire to survive, and suppress their reasonable desires."

"Start searching for relevant medical options!"

"Start the spiritual medicine module...failed to start."

"Activating the bounty module...Searching for an entity within the scope of authority that can satisfy the master's desire..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Yu knew long ago that if he allowed this increasingly intelligent mechanical maid to operate and solve problems on her own, the decisions she made would become increasingly outrageous.

For example, at this moment, various female cultivators suddenly began to pop up on the screen in front of Li Yu, including courtesans, nuns, half-demon... everything you could think of.

This is clearly a misdiagnosis!

What Li Yu was thinking in his heart was that Hongdou had begun to recover itself and unlocked those modules and permissions again.

After calling a halt, fearing that the tough maid would search for another solution, Li Yu asked directly:
"Hongdou, tell me what new modules you unlocked or restored?"

"Good host!"

"Compared to the first repair, all module permissions owned by Hongdou have increased by 10%."

"At the same time, a new permission function is unlocked: [Psychic Armor]."

"This function allows Red Bean to merge with its master. In addition to increasing the master's defense, it also allows the master to use Red Bean's combat module, intelligence module, transformation module, etc."

"After searching and checking, the master once wanted to try to restore Hongdou's wisdom with the [Secret Technique of Soul Replenishment]. This function can greatly shorten the soul replenishment time... The master also wanted to buy a bionic skin for Hongdou. This function can absorb and transform the bionic skin. The master only needs to buy a set of basic bionic skins, and Hongdou will unlock all skins after absorbing them."

……

The more Li Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became.

But he didn't stop talking and continued to ask:
"Do you still remember where you came from?"

“No…I don’t remember.”

"Besides the Soul-Replenishing Technique and Devouring the Blank Secret Core, is there any other way to repair you?"

"Searching, no results found."

"What sequence is your current combat power equivalent to?"

"Master, the combat effectiveness of different pathway sequences cannot be quantified and compared. Specific reference objects are needed."

"How about using me as an example for analysis and comparison?"

"Based on the master's past battle record and related privacy, I can speculate... If the master does not take the elixir, Hongdou can kill the master within 20 breaths... If the master takes the elixir, there is a high probability that the master can be killed before the high-grade spiritual energy stones in Hongdou's body are exhausted, provided that the master does not escape."

……

After hearing Hongdou's answer, Li Yu was also shocked.

His original form as a Dan Tu was indeed not very good at fighting. Apart from his Danhuo technique, which had a strong restraint on evil spirits, it was meaningless against mechanical bodies.

But he still had a bunch of elixirs such as Skinning Ghost Pill and Diamond Pill on him. If he continued to take the pills, Li Yu thought that he had no rival in the same sequence. Even if Hongdou had picked up a bunch of high-end weapons such as chainsaw swords and grenade launchers before, and repaired some of them now, could he be killed with a blast?

Li Yu just started to feel dissatisfied, but the next moment he received a simulated battle scene from Hongdou, which was a simulation of him being killed many times.

In the screen!
Li Yu had indeed used up all of his trump cards except the Bubble of Truth.

But in the end, he was killed by Hongdou.

The most common way to die: being cut into pieces by Hongdou's upgraded [Chainsaw Sword Skills].

After seeing all this, Li Yu was not angry but happy instead.

Because the process and the deduction itself allowed him to see Hongdou's ferocious fighting ability and obvious evolutionary enhancement.

From combat to wisdom and the function of the psychic armor, it can't be said to be a complete transformation, but at least it has reached a new level.

"It's great that Hongdou is here. At least I'm not alone in this Wanfu City."

"She is not only a caring maid, but also an intelligent assistant and a fierce bodyguard... The value of that deal is still skyrocketing."

"Ok?"

"Hongdou, what is this intense consumption progress bar?"

"It's a psychic stone, Master. The psychic armor function consumes several times more psychic stones than other functions. At the current speed, the Master can still maintain the armor for about three days."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Take it off quickly."

"Hongdou detected that the owner really likes the feeling of being covered by armor, so this function is always turned on by default."

After answering Li Yu, steam gushed out again.

Pieces of soft and sticky armor fell off one after another, and then automatically turned into red beans in front of Li Yu.

But compared to before, the Hongdou in front of him was obviously much smarter. Li Yu even had the illusion that there was a faint smile on the face of this mechanical fox girl.

After figuring out the changes of the red beans, Li Yu took out the sachet that had been recognized by blood from his arms and said, "Test this thing. Is there any problem?"

Li Yu was confident that the scheming little nun named "Miao Chang" would not be able to trick him.

But after all, they are things from different camps, so it’s better to be careful.

"Scan completed!"

"After testing, it was found that the outside of this object is a scent sachet, and inside it is a mustard seed space created by the secret method of Buddhism. There are not many Buddhist sects that have mastered this secret method. In addition, the scent sachet emits a unique fragrance. It is speculated that its original owner was a female practitioner of the human race from [Shuiyue Temple in Qian Country]."

"There is nothing wrong with the sachet itself. Wearing it can calm the mind and calm the soul."

When this result came out, Li Yu's eyes lit up again.

In addition to the sachets, there are also pairs of red beans.

He was more and more satisfied with this assistant maid.

After confirming that there was no problem with the sachet, Li Yu took out two more rare items, which were also extra gains from this expedition to the strange domain.

Holy Book Knife!

The best notebook!

To some extent, these two objects are deeply related to the southern overlord [Holy Nest] where he is now.

"This holy book knife is unbladed, so it won't be very effective against other enemies."

"But for those things in the Holy Nest that have been transformed by flesh and blood, this thing is simply a powerful weapon. Maybe it can even hurt the three monsters of the Three Saints Gang?"

"The notes were compiled by Zhu Zhishan's three demons and his mysterious master, the Fifth Saint of the Holy Nest Elders. They are full of forbidden blood and flesh techniques."

"I can't use it now, but I can't guarantee that it will be of great use in the future. At least when I become an alchemist, I can secretly learn and improve the forbidden techniques. It's always good to have more skills."

The review is complete.

Thinking of the alchemist again, Li Yu couldn't help but start thinking about his own affairs.

As Hongdou said: He is eager to improve his strength and has a strong desire to survive.

"Although I have only been promoted to [Sequence Eight Dan Disciple] for a short time, my cultivation has been completed. Next, I should be promoted to Sequence Seven Alchemist as quickly as possible."

"Refine the Nine Pills. It's not difficult. I don't need to buy any materials. Go to the City Lord's Mansion's pioneering team camp tomorrow to work. Then, in the name of 'researching new medicinal food', have the captain report to the higher-ups and buy all the materials. I can pick some and take them home."

"The difficult part is the promotion ceremony."

At this point, Li Yu couldn't help but frown. Within a certain range, becoming famous in certain ways...influencing at least a thousand people...

These conditions for the promotion ceremony are actually not difficult.

Li Yu can do it as long as he is willing.

But there is one thing you must ensure: you cannot reveal the truth.

At least!

He couldn’t let other people know that he was cultivating the path of Spiritual Lord. Even if they mistakenly thought he was cultivating other paths of evil gods, that was fine, but not Spiritual Lord.

The reason is very simple, and it can be seen from the rather disgusting abilities of the alchemists.

This approach is very annoying.

Especially since Li Yu had already read "Illustrated Guide to the Gods", and judging from the description of "Spirit Lord" in it, this true god was probably the common enemy of the gods.

The righteous gods hate it, and the evil gods also hate it.

"Perhaps it was the abilities of these disgusting people that led to the death of the Spiritual Master and the extinction of this path of inheritance."

"I have been hated by many people because of my identity as the Star of Misfortune."

"If the path to the Spiritual Master is leaked again, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?"

Li Yu seemed to have anticipated the scene of himself becoming the public enemy of Wanfu City, and he couldn't help but shudder.

I made up my mind: the method of promotion must be as obscure as possible.

In this case, we naturally have to be careful to find the right opportunity.

Li Yu remembered something and said to Hongdou:
"Contact Shi Dazhu and ask him to send the latest scraps of Wanfu Daily. Also, buy a set of bionic skins. I want the best quality ones."

"Good host!"

Li Yu gave the order without blushing or getting nervous.

It was as if his real purpose was to scrap the manuscript, and the bionic skin was just a casual addition.

Soon, Shi Dazhu came to the door.

She brought with her a discarded manuscript and a set of extremely advanced bionic skin that was better than human skin. Her outward appearance was that of a tall, plump, mature lady selected by Li Yu himself.

Because of this skin, Shi Dazhu joked before leaving:

"It seems that you are very fond of the things produced by our Tiangong Sect. You are a loyal reader of Wanfu Daily and a die-hard fan of Linglong Dolls. I was wondering on which day you would be unable to resist buying a bionic skin."

"Believe me, my friend. The puppets I teach are the best in the world, countless times better than real people. I have them at home... ahem... when you come back to buy them, I will introduce you to more good things."

"I just want to make the landing feel better next time I return from the strange realm."

Li Yu silently defended himself.

Then he took the scrap manuscript, looked at Hongdou with interest, and put on the bionic skin.

Accompanied by the gushing of steam, an extremely magical scene appeared in the blink of an eye.

The mechanical maid, whose body was covered with metal, gears, springs and even chainsaw swords, gradually disappeared. In her place appeared a tall and plump lady wearing a maid outfit.

The only flaw is that the face is too rigid.

But soon, that face began to change, becoming extremely vivid and very similar to Hongdou, as if it was Hongdou's older sister version.

At the same time, mechanical sounds continued to come:

"Donning bionic skin...fused."

"Begin to devour and transform."

"Transformation maid module is being generated...Full template is being collected..."

Along with these sounds.

Under Li Yu's extremely surprised gaze, the red beans began to change.

She was clearly only wearing a set of skin, but then, starting from the royal sister, subsequent roles such as the sweet girl, the charming young woman, the broad-minded mature woman, the cold saint... and even the mother-in-law, etc., were all included.

Under his gaze, one by one, they changed.

After all, Li Yu had lived in Wanfu City for some time and had already seen other mechanical dolls covered in bionic skins.

Very realistic, but without exception very rigid.

But the changes that Hongdou made were not only extremely real, but his expressions were also extremely lively.

There is no difference from real people.

Although the transformation process even included "clothing", Li Yu still watched the whole process with curiosity.

It was not until he stared at it for half an incense stick and realized that it was not over yet that he could not help but ask.

Hongdou took time out of her busy schedule to answer:
"According to the latest sales records updated on the Tiangong Sect's internal network, there are a total of 208 sets of bionic skin templates in Wanfu City, and a total of 350 sets in the three countries of Qian, Li, and Jing. A few are designed by Tiangong Sect itself, and most are customized by customers."

"It will take three hours to collect all of them. Please wait for a moment, Master."

When this answer came out, Li Yu was surprised again.

There are many perverts in Wanfu City, so it is reasonable to create so many skins.

This shouldn't have happened in the Three Kingdoms period. They were all devout believers of the six great gods.

So there are quite a few perverts in secret, right?

Li Yu muttered to himself and gradually lost his patience.

There is no other reason, I’ve just seen too much and gradually entered the sage time.

His attention quickly shifted to the waste manuscripts. While flipping through them, he also compared them with newspapers and waste manuscripts he had read in the past, looking for a suitable way for him to get promoted without being noticed.

After reading it carefully, I didn't have time to summarize.

Another happy event came suddenly.

But it was the ninth bubble of truth that was fully charged.

Li Yu was about to feel surprised, but soon he remembered the key point.

It’s the Illustrated Book of the Gods!
This atlas only cost him 100 merits, and the content was very brief and rough, but its weight as "supernormal knowledge" was not low. It directly pushed the ninth bubble to the last bit, and now it was a natural result.

The greatest reliance changes from one to two.

Li Yu's mood suddenly became better, and he began to think about the feasibility of several methods of promotion.

"In the East District, the Lord of Xi Palace, Zhao Xi, is a High-Sequence Expert and a Super Psychopath. He and a large group of young princes in his palace all have a hobby of cannibalism, and they all prefer fresh brains and internal organs... This has led to the popularity of this trend in the East District. This is also one of the reasons why the Garuda Restaurant was opened in the East District and has such a good business."

"After the King of Xi colluded with the [Forbidden God Cult], this trend became even more intense, and some side effects finally appeared."

"A discarded article from Wanfu Daily showed that a contagious abnormality had broken out in some streets and alleys in the East District."

"Some residents of the East District inexplicably developed symptoms such as madness, vomiting, and increased appetite, and died suddenly within a short period of time."

"Because these symptoms are highly similar to the reaction after a failed parasitism by the 'forbidden egg', and all the people who have been attacked have eaten two-legged mutton, this infectious disease is called... cannibal egg poison!"

"Preliminary investigations show that as many as a thousand people in the East District have been infected by the virus."

"Hmm? I didn't expect there are prions in another world. You deserve it."

"But the number of infected people is just right for me to perform."

"With my knowledge of medicinal diet and my understanding of egg prohibition, it may not be difficult to develop a related vaccine or medicinal diet."

"Then I can disguise myself as a mysterious itinerant doctor, walk around the streets, package medicinal food as a panacea, and quietly cure them... In this way, my reputation will spread, and I will also be able to leave traces in their bodies. I will be promoted to a Taoist priest with a guaranteed success."

"The only problem is...I don't want to."

This method of evaluation was the first one that came to Li Yu's mind and was the most feasible.

At the same time, it is also the lowest.

The first is that Li Yu was unwilling to develop medicinal food to detoxify these cannibalistic creatures. How was that different from aiding and abetting the evil?
Secondly, there will be serious consequences. Once you do this, you will definitely be noticed by the forbidden god sect.

Although Li Yu was confident that he could withdraw before attracting attention, he thought it was not worth the risk and rejected the idea in his heart.

Soon, several subsequent methods emerged:

"The Blood God Cult in the North District is full of barbarians who love fighting and killing, and the relevant customs are the same."

"One of the customs is extremely cruel. It is to judge the physical condition of newborn babies. Those who are not strong enough will be thrown into the so-called [Abandoned Baby Tower] on the spot. The iron tower, which is like a steelmaking furnace, will refine all the newborn babies into blood qi and integrate it into the air. They believe that this can enhance everyone's physical condition."

"Among the barbarians, there are many lazy and stingy people who are unwilling to go to the abandoned baby tower where they have to pay for it, and they just throw the babies into the garbage dumps and stinking ditches on the streets."

"If I spend some time traveling around the North District, using medicinal foods that can strengthen the body, it will not be difficult to save hundreds or even thousands of abandoned babies... The abandoned babies who become stronger will also be adopted again, and I will definitely become famous by doing this, and I can be promoted to a Taoist priest smoothly."

"But this method is also quite dangerous."

"The barbarians in the North District have always had strange ways of thinking. If I did this, they would think that I was violating customs and blaspheming the Blood God. I'm afraid they would dig me out and kill me overnight."

"It's really a headache, I'll put it on the list first."
