Chapter 121 2 Dan Qiqi
Chapter 121 Two Pills Complete
Just when Li Yu received the bad news of "The Demon Star Recruitment", good news also came.
The salesman Shi Dazhui, who accepted the reward, finally delivered the transaction items after several days.
They are all special food and medicinal materials such as "heart-eating worms", "desire-killing eggs" and "love-breaking grass".
As a cook, Li Yu would not arouse suspicion even if he bought these things, as people would just think that he was researching some strange medicinal and spiritual food.
Who would have thought that these rare items could be used to refine the [Mercy Pill] that would allow a person to impersonate a practitioner of the Hanged King's path after taking it.
Of course, the most important medicinal ingredients and main materials need to be collected by himself.
That night!
Li Yu separated from Hongdou for the first time. They were a master and a servant, and they went to the two extraordinary markets of Taiping and Yongning respectively.
The competition between the two cities is becoming increasingly fierce.
All kinds of normal and despicable business warfare tactics were used, but there was still no clear winner between the first and second place. However, the third, fourth and other extraordinary markets that followed behind were unexpectedly defeated.
Therefore, all the extraordinary people in the city were divided up, making the city extremely prosperous and lively.
Li Yu and his servant spent all the remaining huge sum of money overnight and bought ten sets of the main ingredients and medicinal ingredients needed for the Wumin Pill, namely the "Hanging Rope", "Suicide Demon Sword", "Ghost Hair in the River", etc.
However, after returning home, Li Yu did not immediately start refining the Wumin Pill.
If he had not improved his skills further, he might have done it rashly, which would have led to disaster.
“Although a Sequence 6-level pill is far inferior to a true Sequence 6, the destructive power of a failed pill refining is far greater than before.”
"The Sword Pill Pill failed, but my Dharma Body acted as a buffer, so the overflowing sword energy only destroyed the alchemy furnace and damaged part of the alchemy room."
"But if the [Wumin Pill] fails, the consequences will be ten times more serious."
"Suicide memes, sadness viruses, and other such nonsense are simply not something that my body and alchemy room can stop... Once they take shape and are not refined into pills by me, they will spread and contaminate all the neighbors on this street, and hang them from the rooftops."
"In this case, I am also in danger."
When he thought of this, Li Yu looked relieved.
After his skills were further improved, he completely transcended the level of an alchemist and had his own unique understanding of alchemy.
How to refine the Wumin Pill?
I changed my mind and came up with a plan.
"Going to the forbidden area outside the city will not cause any spillover damage and you can refine the pill safely, but the chance of success will still not be high. With ten sets of materials, you may not be able to make even one Wumin Pill."
"The first key to refining this pill is: how to prevent the [Suicide Meme] from escaping after it is formed, and let me refine it into a pill?"
"Thinking of the sword pills, creating, or entering a place where the memes have no escape, can do it."
"For example... the Hanged King Sacred Tree!"
When Li Yu thought about it, a special place that he had seen many times in the Wanfu Daily before automatically emerged in his mind.
to be exact!
That is a wonder.
……
At the junction of the West District and the South District, there is a towering tree made purely of cold steel.
There are all kinds of things on the tree, and they only have one function, which is to help you end your life.
For example, there are extremely high platforms for you to jump down, or ropes hanging everywhere, and secret rooms storing various weapons or poisons... There is everything, only what you can't think of, there is nothing that does not exist on the tree.
This tree is called the "Liberation Tree" and was created by a large organization in the city: the [Cult of the Hanged King].
On the day of the missionary day, there was also a propaganda campaign:
"Practitioners in the city who are interested in joining the Hanged King Cult, please come here and liberate yourself."
"Any citizen of this city who no longer wishes to endure the torment and suffering of this worldly world can come here. All they need to do is chant the name of the Hanged King, and our sect will take over all of your karmic troubles and free you from all worries."
"No mercy, no sorrow, forever."
No matter what the reason is.
In short, there were an unusually large number of people who committed suicide on that liberation tree.
A large amount of sadness viruses and qi have gathered and brewed inside, and have long formed an extremely terrifying suicide meme with a wide coverage.
If you are just a mortal, let alone entering it, even if you just wander around the outer area, you will be infected by the meme and hang yourself on the sacred tree uncontrollably.
This silent memetic virus, which has no antidote, is more powerful than any poison or plague when it spreads.
But overnight, the citizens of several streets were wiped out.
Unfortunately, there are many other true god organizations in the city.
Under the containment of [Holy Nest] and [Fallen Buddhism], the Cult of the Hanged King took the initiative to restrain the spread of the sect, making only the area around the sacred tree a forbidden area, or in other words, a holy place for suicide.
And tonight, at this moment.
Li Yu was just like an ordinary person, blending into the team and walking towards the giant tree step by step.
Looking around, there were only confused people everywhere, men, women, young and old, each of them had an expression of despair and seeking liberation on their face, or indifference to life and death and themselves, as if the last bit of their strength was being used to get closer to the sacred tree.
The closer you get, the more serious the pollution becomes, and the stronger the desire to commit suicide becomes.
At the same time, it was unclear whether they were "praying" or "confessing", they muttered to themselves and revealed the reasons for committing suicide one by one.
Li Yu was forced to listen, and a look of intense sadness gradually emerged on his face.
Some people come here because they have no other options due to gambling, smoking, or other reasons.
But there are also many people who died because of miserable circumstances and unfair fate. Just a dozen breaths!
Li Yu seemed to have heard all the sorrows in the world.
And ahead, on the vast ground, corpses, old and new, could be seen everywhere. The old ones had decayed into dry bones, while the new ones seemed to have just died, having fallen from a great height and were like mud, but they all had smiles of relief on their faces, as if their souls had gone to the legendary paradise.
Looking up, one can see steel branches, some short, some long, some high, some low, almost filling the sky, so densely packed that it is extremely oppressive.
There were people hanging on every branch.
Most of them are mortals, but there are also powerful practitioners. Even after being hanged, they still emit terrifying aura.
The dim waning moon tonight was not able to illuminate the gloom and weirdness of the place at all. It seemed that in an instant the world had changed from lively to gray and colorless. This was a dead place in the world of the living.
There is only the smell of despair in the air, which permeates the body and soul at every moment and makes everything meaningless.
Even Li Yu!
At this moment, his face showed a look of despair and hope for relief, and a thought involuntarily arose in his heart:
"This alien world is terrifying and insane. It's not a place for humans to stay."
"I might as well hang myself on it. Maybe after death I can return to my original world..."
"Ok?"
"What a risk, I almost got hit."
The thought had just come to mind, but before it could take root in Li Yu's heart, it was nipped in the bud.
It’s not only because of the alchemist’s resistance to negative states, but also because of Li Yu’s own uniqueness.
After the soul of truth awakened, his last bit of sanity was locked away.
Even if a mortal came here, he would most likely be able to withstand it, and of course there is a possibility that he would wake up in the first second after hanging himself.
“What a hell of a place!”
Li Yu cursed quietly in his heart.
Immediately, he observed for a while and realized that his luck was good tonight as there were no High-Sequence Powerful Ones from the Hanged King Path. He thought that they would come to reap the harvest after a while.
Li Yu followed the sparse crowd and began to climb the sacred tree.
And soon, a thick steel branch was selected.
In front of him were a variety of hanging ropes and a dozen dangling corpses of hanged people.
"Please don't blame me, squeeze in."
I muttered to myself.
Li Yu began to act. He first took out a large number of bottles and jars and kept swallowing them. It seemed that he was taking poison, but in fact it was almost the same. What he ate were special ingredients such as "heart-eating worms" and "heartless eggs" that could make people lose all emotions and desires.
After eating everything, he took out those strange objects with considerable power. If they were in the hands of mortals, each one could take their lives in an instant.
Li Yu successfully cut open his own stomach, slashed his wrists, and finally allowed a living "strange rope" to wrap around his neck and hang him on the sacred tree.
With a crisp sound, his neck was strangled alive, and he didn't even have time to take a look at Wanfu City below from his height.
But at this moment, a sudden surge of Dan fire appeared in Li Yu's body, which miraculously pulled him back from the brink of death.
Ever since!
He entered a special state of "neither dead nor dead".
And here, it is completely saturated with the suicide meme virus and the Qi of despair and sadness, which will automatically gather to help the creatures in this state to be completely liberated.
call!
A bone-chilling wind of despair suddenly arose, forming a vortex in an instant, sweeping Li Yu's body, making it sway and creak.
Li Yu did not open his eyes, nor did he activate the "demon body" technique to revive himself.
Instead, he tried his best to maintain the temperature of the elixir fire, keeping himself between life and death at all times.
He knew very well that it was just a little bit off.
The Wumin Pill cannot be refined.
Over time, the sad winds grew stronger and stronger, even affecting the hanged men next to Li Yu, who began to sway and creak. Soon, the ropes broke one after another, and the corpses fell to the ground one by one like falling gourds.
Suddenly, at this moment.
Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the two techniques of "Dan Fire" and "Demon Body" in his body were pushed to the extreme.
There are some strange places that can kill mortals, but in essence they are still evil hanging ropes, which were immediately burned off by the fire of the elixir.
With a bang, Li Yu landed on the platform under the tree branch and rolled on the spot, entering a secret room in a nearby tree trunk filled with all kinds of poisons that could kill people instantly.
Without caring about anything else, he vomited again.
He immediately felt as if countless cold and sticky tentacles were forcing their way through his abdomen and throat, and then turned into wisps of evil energy that looked like smoke or gray liquid.
It pours down like a waterfall.
Among them, there suddenly appeared a pill that seemed to be made purely from mist.
On the surface of the pill, there is a human face, a face that is indifferent to everything, life and death.
"The merciless one, the merciless pill."
"I did it again. With the blessing of the precious land and the perfect temperature, I was able to produce the elixir in one go."
