Chapter 118: Undercover identity is about to be exposed?
Ignoring the outrageous failure rates and costs of the first three recipes, Li Yu liked every one of them.

He continued to look down, and soon recipes for pills related to the evil god sect began to appear.

It didn't take long to finish looking at them all.

There were a total of ten recipes on the first page, and Li Yu was very interested in more than half of them.

If possible, he would buy them all.

But he couldn't do it because he couldn't afford the price.

"The price of the first page of the recipe: 1,500 merit points for each one."

"That is to say, I have enough remaining merit to buy two types."

Li Yu frowned and said.

It’s not that he thinks it’s too expensive!

On the contrary, Li Yu thought the price was too cheap.

Sequence 8 pill recipe, one hundred merit points per portion.

The price of the rarer eight-sequence pill recipes, such as "Gumin Pill" and "Hua Niang Pill", has increased to five hundred.

At this rate, if it is a sequence seven pill recipe, it would not be surprising to double the merit to one thousand or even two thousand.

But now every pill recipe that Li Yu is interested in involves Sequence Six. Normally, shouldn’t it be doubled to thirty-five thousand merits?
Li Yu's mind turned, and his eyes suddenly fell on the extremely eye-catching success rate. He vaguely understood why these pill recipes were so cheap.

To verify, I asked:

"Yao Xing, for the second page of the pill recipe with the same conditions, does it have a higher chance of success? How many merit points are needed to display it?"

"My Lord, to raise the chance by 50%, we need 2,000 merits."

"……really."

After Li Yu guessed the reason, he couldn't help but hesitate.

The failure rate is as high as 90%!

This does not mean that Li Yu will succeed once out of ten attempts. It is just a description.

It is very likely that he would fail a hundred times even if he tried to refine it a hundred times.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that he will lose all his investment.

Losing merit is not a big deal, but delaying one's own combat power enhancement plan would be a big trouble.

But now, Li Yu seems to have no second choice.

At this moment, he understood better the sequence of [Alchemists] he was in. Every alchemist was good at making up lies to confuse the people and playing tricks.

But once the real fight starts, they suddenly appear weak.

In order to increase combat power, he had no choice but to use the trick of "stealing the elixir".

"Complain about the seniors, understand the seniors, and become a senior."

"I hope the next Sequence Six will be better."

"Now, let's get through this life-and-death crisis first."

While muttering, Li Yu made a decision and his eyes immediately fell on the two pill recipes on the first page.

The first one is undoubtedly the [Sword Pill]. When it comes to head-on combat, even practitioners of the Thunder God path are no match for sword cultivators, not to mention that Li Yu already has a sword cultivator's vest, so it is natural for him to put it on again.

The second one is the path of evil god.

"Mercy Pill: It comes from a high-sequence cultivator of the Spiritual Venerable Path, Sequence 6 [Mercy] of the Suicide King Path. After taking this pill, one can possess some of the abilities of this sequence within a hundred breaths, such as emitting the Suicide Meme, Sadness Virus, etc., and have the ability to communicate with the True God, the Suicide King, and transfer all the negative states and pollution imposed on the body to the True God, thereby maintaining a strange state of no mercy, no emotions, but always immortal."

"Refining this pill requires perfect skills and high inspiration, and the chance of failure is 90%... and once you take this pill, you must kill a certain number of living beings, otherwise you will be marked by the true god [Hanged King] and will suffer endless disasters."

"Another price is: becoming heartless and loveless, thinking about hanging others all the time."

"The rest is easy to explain. As for the function of 'transferring pollution' alone, the importance of this pill recipe is even higher than that of the Jianwan Pill."

……

"Demon Star, exchange for the Sword Pill and the No Mercy Pill formula."

"Merit has been deducted!"

"The pill recipe is being exchanged!"

The moment his achievements were completely reduced to zero, two streams of information flooded into Li Yu's mind.

Inside is a very detailed recipe.

Whether in terms of complexity, difficulty in refining or consumed materials, they are far from comparable to those sequence eight pill recipes.

For example, the first spiritual material needed for Jianwan Dan: a large amount of five metal essences... A small amount of five metal essences is already expensive, let alone a large amount.

The Merciless Pill is even more outrageous. It requires a spiritual material called "death hate object", which refers to special strange objects produced by some people before they die, which gather the resentment, hatred and obsession of the deceased, such as the rope used by a hanged person, the hair of a person who committed suicide by jumping into a river, etc.

These things are rare, which means they are expensive.

After reading it, Li Yu felt as if an invisible hand was reaching out to him, intending to steal all his wealth.

The first thought was: I’m afraid I can’t keep the five hundred thousand taels.

He could falsely report the loss of other materials and get them from the "City Lord's Mansion", but many special materials that had nothing to do with medicinal food and spiritual food could only be purchased in Taiping Gui City.

"I estimate that within a few days, I will receive a formal expedition notice from the Demon Star Order, and then I will have two or three days to prepare."

"Shang Yang's provocation came at the right time. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble this time."

"Now at least we have time to struggle and prepare, great goodness."

"By the way, this tenth bubble of truth is almost complete. I must find an opportunity to recharge it in the next few days, so that I can have one more thing to rely on for survival." Just as Li Yu was thinking and planning in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the outside world, as if the entire Tianjifang was in turmoil.

Li Yu was about to listen when he heard some noise coming from the old street. Not long after, someone came to visit his house.

It’s just different from the neighbors’ doors that were almost smashed!
There was a gentle knock on his door.

Li Yu listened for a while and vaguely guessed what was happening, so he took Hongdou to open the door.

At first glance, I saw that it was the chief steward of the Three Saints Gang, the extremely ugly Benanshi, who was leading a few demons and standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, other families on the old street were being rudely harassed and interrogated by the evildoers.

"Friend Li, are you doing well lately?"

"Shang Hao, what is this, Manager Bei...?"

"Don't blame me, fellow Daoist. It's the City Lord's Mansion that has issued orders one after another, requiring us to investigate whether the citizens under our jurisdiction are undercover agents from the Three Kingdoms and Six Religions... Humph, they didn't have the ability to let a group of undercover agents escape, and they lost face, but now they come to torment us."

"But the arm cannot twist the thigh, the Three Saints Gang can only try once or twice."

"Friend Li, are you an undercover agent?"

I heard this question suddenly.

Li Yu did not answer, but looked at Benanshi.

Immediately, they both burst into laughter.

"Which undercover agent would be like me, who likes to be in the limelight and make a lot of money?"

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Li even made the headlines of the Wanfu Daily. If he's an undercover agent, doesn't that mean that all of us in the Three Saints Gang are fools?"

The joke was over, and Li Yu’s suspicion of being an undercover agent was denied.

Benanshi did not leave immediately, but came up suddenly and whispered:

"Friend Li, I have come here to trouble you for something."

"The transformation and promotion of the three gang leaders in my gang has now reached the second half. For some reason, almost all of their desires have been restricted."

"It's my appetite. Apart from the unpalatable psychic oil, there's only the furnace refining soup that fellow Daoist gave me. It's not enough to satisfy me."

"I know that you have the ability to cook like a god, but I would like to trouble you to tailor some medicinal food for the three gang leaders."

"This... It's not difficult to customize the medicinal diet, but I'm afraid it will offend people..."

Li Yu was delighted when he heard this, but he deliberately showed an awkward expression on his face.

He spoke hesitantly, hinting at something.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. This matter is top secret and won't be leaked. Besides, it's just a snack. It won't affect anything. Even if the Holy Nest finds out, the three gang leaders will take full responsibility."

"Okay then, but since it's tailor-made, I need you to bring me the latest [physical conditions] of the three gang leaders."

"No problem, it will be delivered tomorrow."

After Li Yu agreed, Benanshi, who had achieved his real goal, was overjoyed and ready to leave.

Before turning around, he seemed to remember something and said:

"Oh, right, Fellow Daoist Li!"

"This round of investigation will last three times until tomorrow morning. The first round will be conducted by the local overlord, an organization similar to our Three Saints Gang."

"The second time was when Holy Nest took action. Starting tomorrow morning, the entire southern region will be blown by the [Wind of Flesh and Blood Psychic Energy]. Orthodox practitioners will have nowhere to escape."

"The third time will be at the City Lord's Mansion. At midnight, a powerful magic weapon will rise into the air, releasing a light that locks onto every citizen. As long as they truly recognize Wanfu City, they will pass the judgment... If the undercover agents are thinking about completing their missions and escaping all day, they will most likely not pass the judgment, and their true colors will be exposed at that time."

"But you don't have to worry since you're not an undercover agent. I told you in advance so you won't be disturbed."

"Thank you, Butler Bei."

……

After some greetings, Benanshi led a group of demons away.

Li Yu, who had made a good harvest, returned home with a frown.

The so-called harvest, of course, is the physical condition of the Three Saints whose flesh-and-blood mechanical transformation will be almost complete tomorrow.

Tailor-made medicinal meals are fake!

The real idea: Let Hongdou analyze the secret method of making the special sequence [Holy Skull Heavenly Soldiers] and its weaknesses.

And this is also a big secret.

Maybe after peeking, the tenth bubble will be complete.

In addition to the gains, there are also hidden worries.

"Triple interrogation?"

"It seems that those eight people, especially that Doctor Baixing, not only severely slapped the City Lord's Mansion in the face, but also stole very important information, otherwise the City Lord's Mansion would not have made such a big fuss."

"The overlords of the entire city have joined forces. Tsk tsk, the undercover agents from the three countries and six religions are probably in trouble this time."

"Holy Nest doesn't use the obviously more efficient [Intelligent Audit], but instead uses the Wind of Flesh and Blood. I'm afraid they don't want to expose the existence of the Holy Nest network. I'm not an orthodox person, so I'm not afraid of it at all."

"But the magic weapon of the City Lord's Mansion requires the sincere approval of Wanfu City before it can be passed. If I keep thinking about escaping, won't I be in trouble?"
