Chapter 25

"Hahaha... the little thing really has some reliance. Even though his bile is almost scared out of him by me, he still dares to play a game of provocation with me."

"Your culinary skills? You only borrowed the lowest level of Vegetable Person power, while I have practiced in this sequence for many years and often pray to our great Lord, receiving His spiritual response and guidance. Where do you have the qualifications to compare with me?"

"As for why this dish is called a Jade Maiden Feast?"

"Don't you know that the next sequence after the Sequence 8 【Courtesan】 of the Lust Sect's Evil God path is called 【Jade Maiden】?"

This time, it was Li Yu's turn to be mocked with well-founded arguments.

Of course, he also gained something from this; new secrets reached his ears, and the fourth Truth Bubble gained quite a bit of charge.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and retorted to Yi Ya:

"This is where your culinary skills are lacking."

"That Cui Yuan is far from being a Sequence 7 Jade Maiden; she isn't even a Sequence 8 Courtesan, just unranked."

"Her body has not undergone transformation, and apart from various lust poisons and pollution, there isn't a single trace of Jade Maiden subtle Qi inside. Although you peeled off her skin and used the power of a Vegetable Person to remove those filth, it can barely be considered a top-notch spiritual food, but it absolutely cannot be called a 【Jade Maiden Feast】. You should change the name."

When he finished saying these things, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was truly a bit mad.

He was now talking about these things with ease, and it was extremely persuasive.

As his voice fell, he was released by Yi Ya.

One could see this terrifying evil cultivator from the Jinshen Sect suddenly treating the Jade Maiden Feast in his hand, along with Cui Yuan's skin, like garbage, throwing them on the ground at will.

He looked at Li Yu with a strange, appreciative gaze, clapping his hands in admiration:

"Good, good, good!"

"You really didn't lie. Your compatibility with the 【Jinshen Egg】 must be extremely high to have this kind of insight."

"Speaking of which, this 'egg-planting ground' had its mark removed a few years ago. It seems like a pair of useless meat-selling couples raised it for more than ten years without ripening a Son of Jinshen. We all thought those two were greedy and couldn't help but eat it secretly."

"I didn't expect to hide such a surprise?"

"Hurry up and take out your reliance. After I deal with it and make you lose heart, I'll take you back. Perhaps you can become an opportunity for me, hahaha..."

Yi Ya smiled brilliantly, clearly having seen Li Yu's uniqueness.

His gaze glanced at Li Yu's abdomen from time to time, with a strong sense of inquiry.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Li Yu's ability to "analyze all things," so naturally, he couldn't see through the fact that there was no Jinshen egg inside.

Moreover, he couldn't smell it either, because the essence of the Jinshen egg had been refined into Li Yu's body, and in the end, that part of the inheritance was also left behind.

In a sense!

Li Yu was both an incomplete version and a perfect version of the Son of Jinshen.

And when Yi Ya said these words, Li Yu felt a sudden joy in his heart.

He suppressed his power, kept it from being released, and played along with this perverted scholar in front of him for so long, just for this moment.

If they were to fight face-to-face, even if Li Yu was already a proper Sequence 8 【Elixir Apprentice】, he would not be a match for a Vegetable Person who had been immersed for many years and had harvesting experience.

Even with the mechanical maid who had restored some functions and possessed "Chainsaw Sword Art," it was the same.

But if he utilized Yi Ya's weakness, always showed weakness, let the other party think he was in complete control, enjoy the pleasure of hunting by himself, and incidentally keep guiding him to talk about culinary skills and spiritual food, while belittling and provoking him, there was a chance to make him fall into a trap.

Now, the opportunity had come.

Li Yu slowly climbed up, patted off the dust, his face first showing self-doubt, then revealing a look of determination:

"I was parasitized by that thing. Apart from the extraordinary culinary skills it gave me, everything else made me feel like I was in agony."

"If I am killed like this, it can be considered a relief."

"But before that, I hope to make one more self-created spiritual dish. After you finish eating and comment on it, then make your move."

He had just finished speaking.

The elegant, posturing cannibal scholar in front of him nodded directly and smiled as he exposed him:

"So you want to use the extraordinary culinary skills bestowed upon you by our great Lord to poison me to death?"

"Self-created spiritual dish? This is even rarer. A Son of Jinshen who hasn't matured yet has the ability to create his own spiritual dish?"

"Hurry up and make it; I must taste it."

Yi Ya laughed heartily, and the gaze he swept over had a kind of absolute confidence in mastering everything.

It was no wonder!

Before he came, he had slaughtered many evil cultivators.

And these evil cultivator diners knew Li Yu's "state" better than anyone.

In Yi Ya's eyes, Li Yu's threat was not even as great as those mature Sons of Jinshen he had easily dealt with.

As for being poisoned to death by spiritual food?

Heh, one must know he was a veteran Vegetable Person of the Jinshen Sect; if that really was the ending, he would be laughed to death by others.

Seeing him agree, Li Yu immediately went to the storage room first, took out a wooden box, which was the one that previously held the highly toxic minerals, and then went to the kitchen.

Before entering, he also instructed Hongdou:

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him peek at my recipe."

"Okay, Master!"

This dialogue between master and servant unsurprisingly drew a sneer from Yi Ya.

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because not long after, waves of astonishing fragrance drifted out from the kitchen.

Even a Vegetable Person like him, who was proficient in being human and had eaten a large amount of spiritual food for so many years, had never smelled such a fragrance.

A look of shock appeared on his face for the first time.

"So fragrant!"

"What kind of spiritual food is this? Did this kid really create an extraordinary spiritual dish?"

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."

Practitioners of the Jinshen Sect, from low to high, regardless of their sequence, were all gluttons.

They simply couldn't resist the temptation of gourmet food.

Yi Ya had already eaten very, very full last night and this morning, his belly was rounded by Li Yu's various evil cultivator neighbors, but at this moment, it still made sounds, and his mouth was flooded with saliva.

If he didn't consider himself to have style and disdain to peek at Li Yu's cooking, he would have already kicked the mechanical maid again and broken into the kitchen to steal food.

Fortunately, very soon.

Just as Yi Ya was getting anxious, Li Yu came out, holding a pot of thick soup that shimmered with various colors and whose fragrance, which intoxicated the soul, instantly filled the small courtyard.

The mist rising from the soup even condensed into palm-sized auspicious clouds above.

Spiritual food all had anomalies.

But one like this was rare.

"This soup is called Nine-Turn Immortal-Ascending Soup, and it is made by me with..."

"Hahaha, you don't need to talk too much. I have a technique called 'Spirit Tongue' that can taste all the flavors of flesh and ingredients. The details of your meat soup cannot be hidden from me."

As if to compete with Li Yu, Yi Ya lost his original demeanor in his urgency, grabbing the pot of thick soup from Li Yu's hands with both hands.

Regardless of the fact that it was still bubbling, he raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and poured it down.

In the blink of an eye, the pot of thick soup, whose ingredients could no longer be distinguished, had all entered Yi Ya's belly.

It was unclear just how delicious it was; he showed a look of extreme satisfaction on his face, his whole body flushed, and he was so refreshed that he almost trembled, while at the same time, he began to count the ingredients he had tasted.

The first one he mentioned was to mock Li Yu.

"Toxin brain paste, hahaha, it must be condensed from the residual evil Qi of your dead ghost father, right? You sold some to a diner last night. After I ate him, I tasted it by the way, and the taste wasn't bad."

"It can indeed poison many people to death, but it doesn't include me."

"Hmm, what else? Seven-ring lotus root, centipede crab, some poisonous insects, blood ganoderma, dead mouse... eh?"

"What are these flavors? There are some that make one feel like floating like an immortal, and some that make the soul peaceful? I have never eaten them... ah!"

"Little beast, what did you feed me?"

Without any warning, an anomaly that Yi Ya never expected erupted in his body.

First, ulcerations appeared all over his skin, growing pus sores and emitting a foul odor, then his torso and limbs began to deform, and it felt as if a fierce evil Qi in his body began to rampage, wanting to find an exit to vent, but it could never find one.

Finally, this evil Qi decided to go up, and accompanied by a muffled sound, Yi Ya's skull was lifted off extremely violently.

As flesh, bone fragments, and brain paste flew everywhere.

A cloud of auspicious mist rose from it. Seeing this scene, Li Yu did not show joy, and the killing intent in his eyes increased rather than decreased.

Li Yu, who inherited the memories of the original body, knew very well how tenacious the vitality of a Vegetable Person was.

Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang had once said with great envy: "The combat power of the Vegetable Person sequence may not be as good as the Blood Soldier type, but they are harder to kill. Even if their heads are cut off, as long as they are reattached within a short time, they can survive."

Therefore, at this moment, Li Yu ignored Yi Ya's roar and questioning, and rushed straight up.

And Yi Ya finally woke up.

Regret and hatred appeared in his eyes, and he fiercely kicked at Li Yu, with enough force to kick a tiger or leopard to death, while roaring ferociously: "Little beast, I'm going to eat you, I must eat you from head to toe without leaving a drop."

With a muffled "bang," Li Yu took the kick solidly. If it had been the previous him, he would have been crippled by this kick alone.

But he was now an Elixir Apprentice, and apart from feeling great pain, he was fine. After holding on, he rolled and collided, actually pinning Yi Ya to the ground.

He opened his mouth wide, his upper and lower teeth collided, and sparks flashed.

Seeing this scene, Yi Ya's whole soul was roaring.

A strong, intense "omen of death" that he had never felt before erupted.

=9+Book_Bar

I will die!

I will die at the hands of this person!

Although unbelievable, Yi Ya was, after all, an evil cultivator who had killed and eaten countless people, and his reaction speed was incomparable to Li Yu's.

In an instant, he transformed.

His eyes widened, his muscles bulged all over his body, and places all over him from top to bottom rolled and cracked, spraying highly toxic pus, sharp teeth and blood tongues grew out, and the mouth at the very top split open without limit to the back of his head, truly creating a bloody mouth, and while saliva splashed, he bit towards Li Yu's body at the same time.

Seeing this, Li Yu had to let go. Being bitten by a Vegetable Person was no joke; it was full of highly toxic pollution.

Yi Ya wanted to pursue and kill, but as soon as he got up.

Complex feelings of floating like an immortal and manic trance suddenly surged in his body, making his movements sluggish.

What was worse was that at this moment, Li Yu's incomparably disgusting voice came over, answering his previous doubts.

Out of obsession with the spiritual food recipe, even at this moment, he couldn't help but listen intently.

But this listen completely left him with no way out.

"It's an immortal elixir!"

"I added a subtle Qi elixir that can make people ascend to immortality."

"You are an old Vegetable Person; you indeed cannot be poisoned to death, so I didn't intend to poison you to death, just permanently ruin your Vegetable Person body, letting you switch to another path to cultivate immortality."

"Of course, the price of switching paths randomly needs to be borne by the senior himself."

When he heard halfway, Yi Ya went crazy.

"You changed my path?"

"You fed me another secret medicine formula?"

Yi Ya's face was full of disbelief, his features distorted, and only the fear and anger that would only appear after a great change emerged.

Amidst the roaring, Yi Ya let anger and killing intent occupy his soul, no longer having a shred of rationality. His body seemed to expand without limit, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a two-meter-tall fat meat man, covered in sharp teeth and blood tongues, toxic blood like arrows, grinning with a bloody mouth, and rushing towards Li Yu like a ghost.

On the way, a cold-glinting, scalpel-like coroner's blade suddenly appeared in one of his hands.

Just by looking at it, Li Yu's mind seemed to conjure up the image of himself being carefully cut into slices of equal thickness and spread out on the ground.

Immediately remembering that this fellow did indeed possess a terrifying blade technique, Li Yu's face became solemn, wondering if he should take the initiative to take out his trump card.

But soon, he didn't need to.

It was this Yi Ya who only looked at the front and ignored the back, staring only at Li Yu, completely forgetting that there was still a mechanical maid behind him.

Even though Li Yu hadn't shouted "Hongdou," the chilling vibration of the chainsaw sword had already sounded behind Yi Ya first.

What was even more terrifying was that, accompanied by the spraying of steam, the speed at which Hongdou erupted in the next breath was not weaker than Yi Ya's at all, and even a line faster.

Chainsaw Sword Art!

So before Yi Ya could reach Li Yu, his huge body was first slaughtered by Hongdou.

"Shhh!"

"Shhh, shhh, shhh."

Following the teeth-gritting vibration cutting sound, Yi Ya's arm holding the knife was cut off by Hongdou in the blink of an eye and smashed to the ground.

Theoretically, at this point, Yi Ya should have left Li Yu to fight Hongdou.

But he didn't; he ignored everything and continued to kill Li Yu like a madman.

If he couldn't use blade techniques, he would use hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu immediately began to dodge and move, while making space for his maid to cut Yi Ya's huge body with that cold and ruthless chainsaw sword art.

"The effect is surprisingly good."

"Is this fellow completely crazy?"

Li Yu was suspicious.

He was not a Jinshen cultist, nor a real Vegetable Person, so how could he understand the cherishing of a devout Jinshen practitioner for his own Vegetable Person body.

Li Yu utilized Yi Ya's underestimation of the enemy and arrogance, fed him a semi-finished Elixir Apprentice secret medicine, and forcibly made him switch paths.

For Yi Ya, it was no less than a catastrophe.

From now on, not only could he not advance to Sequence 7 【Blood Slave】.

What was even more unforgivable was that he had blasphemed the god.

Even if it was passive and deceived, it couldn't change the fact.

Therefore, he went crazy and wanted to eat Li Yu at all costs.

So much so that he didn't notice at all that his opponent was not the immature Son of Jinshen and the weak mechanical maid he imagined.

This pair of master and servant were both acting for him.

In the few breaths he lost his rationality, Li Yu played kite, and Hongdou was responsible for cutting with sword art.

Not long after, seeing Hongdou's chainsaw sword about to cut towards Yi Ya's thigh, a bloody large-sized "human pig" was about to be born.

The medicinal power and madness in Yi Ya's body finally passed, and he shuddered, suddenly waking up.

Rationality returned, and he realized his situation in the blink of an eye.

The ruthlessness and determination of a veteran executioner for many years were fully revealed at this moment.

He didn't even look at Li Yu again, nor did he go back to pick up his coroner's blade, but gritted his teeth and blew himself up.

Accompanied by a loud boom, flesh and blood erupted all over the sky.

Every piece of flesh, every drop of pus, contained terrifying poison.

Being a Jinshen cultist, the Jinshen meat Yi Ya had eaten was probably far more than Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang combined, so the meat toxin in his body was naturally not ordinary.

Seeing this change, Hongdou naturally followed her instinct to protect her master.

She didn't notice or couldn't care, in the bloody rain, a truly ghostly "blood skeleton" was about to escape from the Jiao family courtyard.

Poor Yi Ya, this Vegetable Person who was specifically responsible for harvesting Jinshen eggs, was pitted by a little brat like Li Yu today, and he didn't even dare to say harsh words when he was about to escape, for fear of alarming him.

What was even more pitiful was that he couldn't escape at all.

Watching him dash out a few meters, about to touch the courtyard gate.

He turned his head as if he felt something, and actually saw the young man who was still submissive not long ago, at this moment, hard-headed against the highly toxic bloody rain, his whole body eroded into pits and bumps, but he still erupted with terrifying speed.

He arrived first, completely ignoring his filthy and highly toxic blood bones, and his hands erupted with strength that made him unbelievable, firmly grabbing him.

The next breath, Li Yu's long-suppressed voice exploded:

"Weren't you going to harvest me and kill me? Where are you going?"

"You just ate the spiritual food I made, but you haven't paid the bill yet."

"Why don't you use your life to pay for it."

As his voice fell, Li Yu smiled brilliantly.

As his upper and lower teeth collided, strands of exotic flames wrapped in smoke that made Yi Ya's soul tremble sprayed out, wrapping and burning towards him.
