Chapter 37

~11 min read 2,092 words

After Li Yu obtained more than one secret medicine recipe through peeking, he had also thought about repeatedly selling them to make huge profits.

But he soon learned that this method would not work.

One of the rules of the cultivation world: only recipes carried by strange items can be bought.

Recipes obtained through other channels might be tampered with, and any secret medicine made by adding or subtracting anything will cause sudden death if eaten.

So although Li Yu possesses three recipes—human-vegetable, wandering soul, and alchemist apprentice—only the first one can be taken out to sell.

"However, it's enough."

"Anyway, keeping this inheritance with me is a risk. It's better to find an opportunity to sell it back to the 【Forbidden God Sect】, otherwise, I really don't have the money to arm myself."

"The Alchemist Apprentice sequence is clearly a money-burning path."

Thinking to this point, Li Yu had already made a decision.

In two days, he will go to that Mystic Domain, so he must prepare properly first.

Excluding the factor of "Su Xing" who might not be able to be brought in, what he can do is refine pills and prepare medicinal cuisine.

Both of these things require money, a lot, a lot of money.

Of course, he could also go all-in, spend a large sum of money to find those Tiangong Sect promoters, and buy a powerful weapon.

It's just that this gamble is too big; if he can't bring it in, he will look very stupid.

In addition, most powerful strange items require the user to be compatible with the relevant path sequence, and Tiangong Sect items are the same.

Just as Li Yu was making plans, the familiar hissing sound of steam came from outside the door, along with the lewd voice of that promoter:

"Me, Shi Dazhu!"

"Honored guest, the things you want have been delivered... creak!"

"Hmm?"

Just as Shi Dazhu wanted to throw the item with one hand and receive the money with the other.

This time, the courtyard gate in front of him suddenly opened.

In surprise, he saw Li Yu and his servant standing in front of him, clearing the path and inviting him in.

After Li Yu washed his hands of the past, he had decided to walk into the sunlight. The killings on the night of the Battle Royale were already exposed, so hiding and dodging had no meaning.

Although they had traded several times, this was their first meeting, and both were very surprised.

Shi Dazhu was surprised that such a "big customer" was actually a young man, and the mechanical maid standing beside him looked quite familiar.

Li Yu's gaze fell successively on Shi Dazhu and the vehicle he parked at the door.

The former was short and fat, dressed in a hardcore style with a vest, long pants, and a neck scarf. He even wore something like diving goggles on his forehead, a small braid pointing to the sky on his head, and that face was quite funny, very similar to a certain actor with the surname Zeng from his previous life.

His image actually matched the expectation Li Yu had after hearing his voice.

As for his vehicle, it was surprisingly a mechanical tricycle with complex assembly, a bold style, and a trailer.

If that trailer were removed, Li Yu would also be very tempted.

"Honored guest is truly a dragon among men. Come, these are the things you want."

"Exactly, one thousand taels of silver."

"Are you paying in cash, or...?"

Shi Dazhu said while handing a stack of paper manuscripts to Li Yu.

Before he finished speaking, the manuscript was taken away, and a bone whistle soaked in fresh blood appeared in front of him.

"One Blood Bone Whistle, a basic strange item of the Blood God sect. The output is not small, but it is very useful. It is worth two thousand taels of silver."

"This is the change, honored guest, please keep it well."

Li Yu roughly flipped through the very sloppy paper manuscripts in his hand, then signaled Su Xing to step forward and receive the money.

Watching Shi Dazhu turn to leave, he asked casually, as if he didn't care:

"Brother Shi, if I have some strange items to sell, but I cannot leak even a bit of my private information... is there any way?"

This question from Li Yu sounded a bit unreasonable.

But in the cultivation world, it seemed very normal.

And he had long planned that if Shi Dazhu, or rather the Tiangong Sect channel, couldn't be used, he would have to do it himself.

That's right!

A complete set of the lowest-grade, but genuine, Forbidden God sect inheritance, he wanted to sell it all.

"There are two known channels."

"One is the 【Taiping Grand Market】 in Taiping Workshop. As a transcendent market, it is really not difficult to find a buyer who can afford a high price."

"The second is to try to go to a farther place to find a transcendent pawnshop and pawn it all for good."

"They look safe, but in reality, the risks are not small. My means of disguise may not be able to deceive many people. The farther I am from home, the greater the danger to my life."

"After all, as long as I am still here, the Three Saints Gang, which collects taxes, has the obligation to protect me, a workshop resident, unless the person who comes can kill me silently."

"In addition, these two channels are slow and the prices are poor. The former might not even sell within two days."

"The Tiangong Sect is different. It is clearly a righteous sect on the surface but also comes to Wanfu City to preach, clearly intending to take a neutral path. A powerful and neutral force is most suitable for selling goods."

These thoughts had not yet settled in Li Yu's mind when Shi Dazhu chuckled, as if he couldn't hear the hidden meaning behind the words at all, both lewd and hearty:

"For this kind of thing, honored guest, you asked the right person."

"Shi has several options here for you to choose from."

"One is consignment. My Tiangong Sect has decided to open several 【Wanfu Workshops】 in the city. Besides selling our own products, we also have consignment services. We keep the seller's information completely confidential, and the buyer can never know."

"The second is internal recycling. Our sect often buys some strange items, disassembles and crushes them to use as inspiration for casting new products. It's just that the recycling price is not very high. This Blood Bone Whistle of yours counts as one. If you take it to the Taiping Grand Market or Yongning Grand Market to sell, the value would be around three thousand taels."

"As for the third type, it has the strictest privacy protection, but the requirements are also a bit harsh. It is because our sect has some cooperation with the South District overlord, Sacred Nest, to jointly create a strange divine miracle, secretly collecting some 【Forbidden Strange Items】 from the whole city. Things like bone whistles are useless; they must at least possess divinity, even if it is very weak."

Hearing this, Li Yu's heart moved.

His expression remained calm, and he asked casually:

"How is it kept confidential?"

"I will provide a special strange item box for the honored guest to put it in. If it meets the conditions, the box will automatically close and perform an appraisal, and it is guaranteed to be the highest market price for that period."

"The one leading this cooperation is a sub-magic treasure derived from the treasure of our sect. It has very high intelligence and possesses supreme authority within the sect."

"It can guarantee that no one will know the honored guest's information, and even less will they know what the honored guest is selling, and Shi is no exception."

=9+Book_Bar

When these words reached his ears, Li Yu was completely tempted.

Isn't this just the pillow arriving when he was sleepy?

As for divinity, Li Yu was very certain that the Forbidden God statue in that low-level inheritance definitely possessed a trace of very weak divinity.

Perhaps, it is qualified?

However, he didn't rush to speak, but turned to look at his own maid who had received his instructions in advance.

Su Xing had already recovered some memory modules and had some intelligence, and could even think logically.

Being from the Tiangong Sect as well, she could judge the truth of the promoter Shi Dazhu's words and act as a lie detector, with a high accuracy rate.

The next breath, Su Xing nodded slightly.

Li Yu also spoke at the same time: "Good, you go and get a box, let me try."

Hearing this, Shi Dazhu didn't move, but touched his head and laughed: "I do carry a treasure box on my vehicle at all times, but I forgot to mention just now that every time the box is opened, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the honored guest needs to pay a fee of five hundred taels."

After hearing this, Li Yu's face couldn't help but darken, but he still endured the pain of his heart bleeding and said lightly: "No matter, bring it here."

Not long after!

Shi Dazhu returned, and in his hand, there was surprisingly an extra treasure box cast entirely of brass, complex and gorgeous, engraved with all kinds of Tiangong secret patterns.

After hearing how to use it, Li Yu took the treasure box and went to the inner room.

Accompanied by the "click-click" sound, the treasure box opened.

Unexpectedly, the inside was not empty, but the bottom and the walls of the box were covered with colorful steam-like mist, which seemed to have the effect of isolating everything.

Li Yu didn't want to waste time, so he simply took out the 【Forbidden God statue】 from the bottom of the box, not caring about the cold and sticky feeling after getting it, and the "Human-Vegetable Song" that immediately began to echo in his mind, and threw it directly into the treasure box.

The next breath!

A change that surprised him appeared.

The Human-Vegetable Song, which had just started, stopped abruptly.

Following that came a mechanical voice with no emotional fluctuation:

"Meets the conditions."

"Appraised at ten thousand taels."

"Sure enough, this shitty statue really has weak divinity. No wonder it could keep repeating that Human-Vegetable Song."

Li Yu muttered happily while looking at the treasure box that swallowed the statue.

The mist remained unchanged, and the bottom of the box seemed to hide another world, which was very magical.

So, he simply threw the sacrificial book and the human skin scroll into it as well.

Just when he was a bit conflicted about whether to fish them out if these two items couldn't be appraised.

That mechanical voice came again:

"Re-appraisal, the transaction items are more complete."

"Appraised at twenty thousand taels."

"Good, sold."

Without even a hint of hesitation, Li Yu pressed the close box button.

"Honored guest, this gold card is jointly issued by Wanfu Bank and our Tiangong Sect. Not only can it be used throughout the city, but it also enjoys exclusive discounts in some shops and clubs."

"Twenty thousand taels have been deposited, please keep it well."

"In addition, this is Shi's business card. There is a call button on it. After holding it down, you can leave a message."

"If you have any needs in the future, just call Shi directly, no need to use the 【Bounty Function】 of this Linglong doll every time."

"Can!"

Li Yu accepted the gold card business card, and Shi Dazhu carried away the tightly sealed treasure box with a happy face.

It is not difficult to see from his expression that every time he collects a forbidden strange item with divinity, he also gets a commission, and maybe there are some other rewards.

So he was in a great mood and looked at Li Yu with new eyes.

Don't look at how Shi Dazhu's attitude is extremely good every time he comes, calling him "honored guest, honored guest," in reality, he doesn't really value Li Yu that much; it's just that his professional attitude is very good.

But this time, it's different.

Giving his business card for the first time and allowing Li Yu to call and harass him at any time, this is clearly wanting to develop Li Yu into one of his exclusive customers.
