Chapter 102: The Alchemist's Cultivation Method
Chapter 102: The Alchemist's Cultivation Method
Li Yu had a guess in his mind and turned to give Hongdou a few instructions.
Then he took the newspaper, walked out of the yard and went straight to the main street of the city.
It was true that Tianjifang had suffered a disaster, but he still had a job to do and had to report for work.
Even though he is now Sequence Seven, and doesn't look special on the surface, he would most likely not be a match for any of the Ninth Pioneer Team in a head-on fight. But if he were to prepare for a sneak attack, he would have a good chance of killing one or two of them.
The most important thing is that he made a fortune. If he used it as a bribe, he could escape from Wanfu City safely.
But it just so happens that the alchemist sequence he practiced was extremely efficient in the city.
In addition to the dual factors of [small Tiangong nuclear bomb] and [joining Tiangong Sect], Li Yu decided to stay in Wanfu City for a while.
"Not only should we not abandon the City Lord's Mansion, but we should also make further progress if there is a chance."
"None of the four district overlords can join. Only the City Lord's Mansion has room for me to display my abilities."
When the thought came to his mind, Li Yu had already appeared in the development camp.
What surprised him was that in addition to the six leaders, there was one more person in the field, as well as a huge corpse of a strange creature wrapped in dark blue ice.
Seeing Li Yu coming, the seven people came forward to greet him.
After some greetings and accepting everyone's teasing and praise, Li Yu looked at the seventh person.
This was a woman of unusually tall stature, more than two meters tall, with horrible bulges of muscles visible all over her body, stern facial features, bloodshot eyebrows and lips. Although she was wearing a casual outfit, the ferocity of her Qi was no less than that of the "war leader" next to her, and even more so.
"Without a doubt, this is another Blood Knight of the Blood God Path Sequence 7. I wonder what his relationship is with the War Master. Who is stronger and who is weaker?"
"I'm afraid you came here for me."
As soon as this thought came to Li Yu's mind, the answer came immediately.
As he expected, Zhan Kui put his arm around the woman's shoulders and laughed:
"Little Li, this is my junior sister [Zhan Ya], she is in the same path sequence as me and is also a member of the Tenth Pioneer Team."
"She came here to find you."
"Yesterday, when she was exploring the tundra, she accidentally dug up the body of a flying elephant. It is rumored that this thing is extremely delicious, so it was hunted down and eaten by the predecessors of Wanfu City at the end of the Warring States Period. The corpse of this elephant must have been buried in the frozen soil for many years and has not been discovered."
"Zhan Ya is a greedy girl. Their Tenth Pioneer Team didn't recruit a suitable private chef, but instead assigned a fallen pharmacist who gave them some secret medicines that were effective but extremely unpalatable."
"Originally she said she would take the corpse of the strange elephant to the Garuda Restaurant and have the chef there prepare it and treat us to a meal."
"But after seeing the Wanfu Daily this morning, she felt that it would be more effective if you, a practitioner of the God of Food path, were to handle it. After all, when your God of Food path was at its most active, you lived in the same era as the extinct Weird Elephant Clan. Maybe there are related recipes in your inheritance."
"Do you want to try it? If you don't want to, that's fine. Let's go to the Garuda Restaurant for a meal."
"Oh, right. Today is the [Resurrection Day] of the Wangui Tundra. Some of the corpses of evil gods buried in the tundra will be revived. Although those dead evil gods will only twitch and shake, all the 'forbidden weirdness' and incomprehensible mysterious phenomena in it will be multiplied several times or even dozens of times during this period. At the same time, a large number of new weird things and forbidden weirdness will be born."
"Even if our pioneering team goes in, we will definitely die."
"So the pioneering team responsible for the Wangui Tundra will take a collective holiday today."
When Zhan Kui finished speaking, Li Yu also looked at the corpse of the flying elephant seriously.
The main body of the animal is indeed similar to that of an "elephant", covered with black hair, with a pair of huge wings on its back, and four huge hooves with sharp claws covered with bony spurs. The trunk is the most disgusting, embedded with black eyeballs, and there is a shriveled giant thing hanging below its buttocks.
The cause of death is unknown, but the body is very intact, wrapped in permafrost and ice, and cannot be melted even after several hours of exposure to the scorching sun.
"Good fellow, you heard that I'm on the path of the God of Food, so you brought me a 'thousand-year-old zombie frozen earth meat' to process for me?"
"The breath is so fierce and the taste is so strong, it is worthy of being the Blood God Path."
"Resuscitation Day?"
"So there really is more than one evil god buried in these three forbidden areas of Wangui Tundra."
"If we go in during this time, wouldn't we be able to see the real God? Even if he's dead."
Li Yu had thoughts of committing suicide in his mind.
He nodded with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the flying elephant.
Being regarded as the "path to becoming the God of Food" was something Li Yu deliberately did.
This was almost a perfect cover-up, as no one would have thought that a practitioner who became famous for cooking medicinal and spiritual food and made headlines was actually at the Spiritual Venerable level.
There has been no precedent for this in the past.
After being promoted to an alchemist, Li Yu's medicinal food skills underwent another transformation and evolution.
He was certain that even when compared with the true God of Cookery Path, Sequence Eight, he could beat it, but Sequence Seven was another matter.
Thinking of Sequence Seven, Li Yu immediately recalled his own practice.
"Alchemy student, just stay at home and make alchemy."
"But the alchemist sequence is quite special. To cultivate to perfection, one must take advantage of the situation and have more contact with practitioners of other paths. One must have the ability to understand and control people's desires. That is the realm of great success."
"Now, there is an opportunity."
When Li Yu thought of this, he glanced around vaguely.
In addition to the mechanical platform of the Ninth Pioneer Team, there are also camps of other pioneer teams, and more and more people are reporting for work...
Li Yu immediately made up his mind.
Then he walked over, raised his palm like a knife, and chopped directly at the front of the elephant's trunk.
Silently, the frozen ice, which was as hard as metal, was cut like tofu, and a small piece of "Flying Elephant Meat" fell into his hands.
After a few breaths, the sound of "sizzling" was heard, followed by an appetizing and saliva-inducing aroma of meat, which filled the entire camp.
Seven people looked over!
Li Yu actually used his bare hands to roast the piece of strange meat with eyeballs that had been buried for who knows how many years.
Without waiting for them to ask for it, Li Yu raised his finger, cut off a small piece and threw it into his mouth.
The next moment, his eyes lit up and he praised:
"The meat is firm and contains many kinds of extraordinary Qi. After being frozen for so many years, it has not been contaminated by filth. Instead, it has infiltrated some of the divine Qi flavor of the frozen plain..."
"I'm afraid the flavor of this strange elephant is even better than when it was alive."
"Everyone wait a moment, I will cook it right away."
As he spoke, Li Yu lifted the flying elephant with one hand and went to the luxurious kitchen deep in the camp.
While eating the meat, he was practicing the two techniques of medicinal diet and taking medicine at the same time, and he directly understood the many characteristics of the Flying Elephant Meat. A medicinal diet recipe with it as the main ingredient appeared directly in his mind.
On the way, he threw the roasted elephant trunk to Zhan Ya, who had been staring at him eagerly.
Just as the war leader said, although he was a terrifying blood knight, he had no resistance to delicious food.
After swallowing the disgusting elephant trunk meat that was still cooked through, Zhan Ya immediately showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He pointed at Li Yu and said to Zhan Kui:
"Brother, how about giving him to our Tenth Pioneer Team? You can set any conditions."
"Don't dream!"
If it were any other path sequence, this kind of conversation would definitely be entangled. But those who practiced Blood God were almost all decisive people.
After being rejected, Zhan Ya nodded as a matter of course, staring straight at Li Yu who started cooking, and then said:
"Yeah, I wouldn't let you go even if it was me."
“Then wait until I advance to Sequence 6 [Death Ode Envoy], beat you up, and then snatch him away.”
"This is just a dream. I will be promoted earlier than you."
……
In the City Lord's Mansion and the pioneer team's camp, each pioneer team reported for work.
There is nothing wrong at first, but it will be fine soon.
All members of the pioneering team gradually smelled strong aromas, and just these aromas were enough to make their stomachs growl. Their appetites surged like a volcano, and they couldn't contain it at all, not to mention the medicinal smell contained in it, which made them feel refreshed just by sniffing it.
It should be noted that they are all practitioners, and it is difficult to achieve this even with spiritual food, unless it is extremely high-quality medicinal spiritual food.
They found the source before the fragrance began to permeate the entire main street of the city.
The Ninth Pioneer Team!
A dinner party was taking place on the camp platform.
Seven people were sitting around a huge metal table, all of them buried in the huge amount of food, without even talking to each other.
Everyone's stomach was like a bottomless pit, stuffing all kinds of spiritual food into their mouths and stomachs.
Three mechanical dolls take turns serving dishes.
During the process, I did not forget to announce the names of the dishes:
"Fire Crystal Elephant Meat. After eating it, you can experience the pleasure of both ice and fire. It also has the effect of increasing Qi and blood and delaying hidden injuries."
"Raw pickled heart of the strange elephant, eating it can strengthen the blood and flesh."
"The crispy meat pillar is the source of the yang energy of the strange elephant. After roasting, all the impurities are removed. After eating, the relevant organs can gain a huge boost. The price is that it must be released as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of backlash..."
"Nine-turn elephant intestine soup contains the essence of many kinds of rare plants and trees in the tundra, and has a variety of divine qi infiltration. It is refined into a pot of thick soup with strange fire. It has many spiritual effects. The price is the risk of constipation in the next twelve hours..."
The aroma, the sound of the mechanical doll, and the scene of seven people feasting on the food.
The other pioneering teams were unaware of what was happening, and the power of Wanfu Daily began to show.
Everyone knows it!
The Ninth Pioneer Team was lucky enough to unexpectedly recruit an extremely rare practitioner of the God of Food path.
Not only can we tailor-make medicinal foods with extraordinary effects, but the taste is also top-notch.
At first they thought it was just an exaggerated description, but now that they smelled the fragrance themselves, they were all convinced.
Afterwards, they left their own camps and headed towards the mechanical building of the Ninth Pioneer Team.
They were all so shameless that they just asked for food:
"Zhan Kui, how can you be so shameless that you don't invite us brothers to the banquet?"
"We are all members of the pioneer team. How can we have a good ending if we eat alone?"
"That's right, everyone, make way. Brothers, come and try the medicinal food made by the God of Cookery that has disappeared for many years. How delicious it is."
"I think that [crispy meat pillar] is pretty good. Others can't digest it, but as a practitioner of the Lust Sect, it's easy for me."
……
Hearing these words, the six leaders of the war, plus Zhan Ya, burst out at terrifying speeds at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the few remaining medicinal foods on the table were all gone.
Zhan Ya was the most terrifying, he picked up the pot of gurgling Nine-Turn Elephant Intestine Soup, and without fear of the boiling temperature, he simply opened his mouth and poured it in, drinking it all up without leaving a drop, and even spit out a ball of fire.
Afterwards, she held her belly and slammed the table. A violent and brutal blood-qi surged out like a storm, and she yelled at the people around her:
"Give me some dignity, I brought this [Flying Elephant] here, you guys can't just eat it for free."
"If you want to eat good food, spend a lot of money to go to big restaurants like Garuda and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
"You want to get something for free? Are you all from the [Cult of the God of Poverty]?"
Zhan Ya, a very elegant name.
But her ferocious look at this moment not only surprised Li Yu, but also frightened the other members of the pioneering team who surrounded her and tried to get free food and drinks.
Of course, this is because the camps nearby all belong to low-level pioneer teams, such as the tenth, eleventh, twelfth... and so on.
No matter whether they were team leaders or ordinary members, most of those who gathered around were at Sequence 7 or even Sequence 8.
However, the pioneering teams that are ranked higher will not make a fuss about a mere "God of Food Path Practitioner".
The people watching seemed to be very familiar with "Zhan Ya".
Even though they were rejected in public, no one was really angry, but instead they all refuted the idea.
However, they also saw the mess on the long metal table, with only leftovers. Since they could not get any medicinal food, they all left.
But right now!
Li Yu, the "real boss", came out from the luxurious kitchen.
There was a hint of eagerness in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the many members of the pioneering team.
With just one glance, he could tell that these people were almost all of the people in Wanfu City who were visible to the public, and many of them were at Sequence Seven with him.
A very strong desire to "steal" emerged in Li Yu's heart.
That’s right, this is one of the secret methods of alchemy practice.
To perfectly imitate other pathway sequences and to refine related elixirs, one naturally needs to have a deep understanding of them first.
The scene before him was subtly controlled by Li Yu.
The flying elephant was indeed a good ingredient, but the fact that it emitted such a strong aroma was certainly the work of the chef Li Yu, who had added some ingredients.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Li Yu said loudly:
"Wait a minute, my colleagues!"
"We are all from the City Lord's Mansion, so there is no need to be so formal. Since you all appreciate my cooking skills."
"Maybe you can learn from Sister Zhan and bring some rare ingredients like [Flying Strange Elephant], and I can prepare a banquet for everyone for free."
"Of course I won't hide it. This has been of great help to my medicinal and spiritual food skills."
When Li Yu uttered these words!
The eyes of those who were about to leave all lit up and their faces were filled with excitement.
ps: There are more to come, please vote for me.
