Chapter 38

After Shi Dazhu left, Li Yu didn't plan to go to sleep.

Instead, quite excitedly, he returned to the main room, lit the electric eel lamp, and began to study those chaotic and sloppy paper manuscripts.

A thick stack, all printed repeatedly, and the ink in some places was of different depths, making it quite difficult to read.

But each one was genuine and contained transcendent information.

It's just that compared to the content in the "Wanfu Daily," it was more colloquial.

"Citizens and friends, with the arrival of Missionary Day, after all the refugees from the Three Kingdoms enter the city, the safe path to leave Wanfu City will also be closed. Anyone who attempts to renounce their household registration and flee will lose all protection, either dying in the three forbidden lands or being hunted by other citizens. Please remember, if you want to leave, pay the tax."

"I, Gan Lin Niang, this topic wasn't selected, saying it couldn't intimidate citizens. Isn't this a clear rule? Who did it intimidate?"

"Breaking news, breaking news, more than a dozen diners have complained to me that the Garuda Grand Restaurant is bullying customers, not allowing them to give any negative reviews, and every time they go to eat the same dish, there is often a phenomenon of short-weighting."

"An unnamed diner secretly broke the news that when they and three or five friends went to eat on the first floor, one friend had an old illness flare up and couldn't control his temper, so he went to the back kitchen to scold the chef because the dishes didn't suit his taste, and as a result, he never came out again, and their table was exempted from the bill and gifted a famous dish 【Roasted Fragrant Pig】. The whistleblower said he tasted his friend's flavor."

"Another big news, according to informed sources, an heir of the East District overlord, Xi Wang, went to the Garuda Grand Restaurant to eat a free meal, but happened to meet the restaurant owner, the old demon Zhu Can, and a conflict occurred between the two sides. As for the subsequent results, this newspaper will continue to follow..."

"Damn it, none of it can be published. What kind of shitty 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do,' does my Tiangong Sect need to be afraid of a mere Xi Wang Mansion and a cannibal old demon?"

"The city's largest 【Half-Human Pet】 shop had a large-scale pet escape incident due to an accident. The shop owner appeals to all citizens here."

"Please citizens who have picked up centaur girls, half-dog girls, half-spider girls, half-cow girls... and other pets, go to the Hehe Workshop in the South District to return the pets, and there will definitely be a heavy reward."

"Hehe, who would return this? I wouldn't return it if I picked it up."

"Pah, the draft was withdrawn, saying it was originally a missionary-style plan, wanting to pollute a few more powerful believers. It's really disgusting."

Watching, Li Yu realized.

These unselected news stories were more interesting than the selected ones.

Of course, in terms of the weight of transcendent information, they were a bit worse.

With the rustling sound of flipping pages, on Li Yu's eye membrane.

The fifth Truth Bubble was charging rapidly.

But the speed was a little bit worse than when he read the "Wanfu Daily" before.

Fortunately, the amount of waste manuscripts was large.

I don't know how much time passed, the sky outside was already bright, and Li Yu finally finished reading the last waste manuscript. The content on it was a sentence of abuse written by an editor with the pen name "Dan Chenzi," venting his anger that his hard-prepared topic draft was not selected.

After reading it, Li Yu showed a bright smile.

It was because there was good news on his eye membrane.

The fifth Truth Bubble didn't know when it had been fully charged, and now the one flickering and charging was the sixth bubble, and the progress had also jumped quite a bit.

"Perfect!"

"In the future, I will use both hands, both the official newspaper and the waste manuscripts, I want them all."

"It's a pity I am not a person of the 【Tiangong Sect】, and I don't cultivate the Craftsman God path, otherwise, if I went directly to apply for a job and joined the newspaper, wouldn't it be more convenient?"

After muttering, Li Yu hurriedly reached out to turn off the electric eel lamp.

Not wasting electricity has always been one of his good habits.

He glanced at the sky, just about to calculate the time.

Suddenly, the familiar click-click sound came, and that bronze crowing chicken skillfully rushed out of the coop, spraying choking smoke and fire, and pounced on Li Yu.

"Master, Master!"

"Get up and sell meat."

"I'll sell you, you plague-ridden chicken."

Li Yu, who would choose to endure in the past, kicked it this time while scolding.

Then he didn't care about the plague-ridden chicken flying around the courtyard, and called Su Xing again, quite wealthy and imposing:

"Go!"

"Let's go spend money."

Ordinary people who stayed up all night like this should go to sleep at this time.

But Li Yu is not a mortal after all, and before he is sure that he has made full preparations, he doesn't want to waste more time.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the so-called "joint gold card" required him to be present to use it, Li Yu wouldn't even leave the courtyard gate, but would send Su Xing out to buy pill refining materials as before.

It took a whole morning for the master and servant to return home with large and small bags, and there were even many shop assistants responsible for delivering goods following behind.

Twenty thousand taels!

Even for a cultivator, it is a huge sum of money.

If a mortal got it, they could live a worry-free life in this Wanfu City, go to the Xiaohun Club to enjoy themselves for several years, and buy many extraordinary pets like centaur girls, spider girls, and cow girls.

And Li Yu spent half of it directly.

Except for some strange and bizarre sundries, most of it was spent in the two places of the smoke house and the pharmacy. Until this moment, Li Yu finally had a little concept of how much money the "Alchemist Apprentice sequence" burns.

What made him feel even more troubled was that although he had refined the 【Explosive Flame Pill】, this basic spirit pill, strictly speaking, he hadn't started formal Alchemist Apprentice cultivation yet.

"The first pass, ingestion."

"Alchemist Apprentices need to pass almost all poisonous minerals and drugs, as well as some special medicinal guides, through their mouths through the art of ingestion, chew them into dregs, and taste them carefully."

"Only in this way can one control the medicinal properties and toxicity with extreme precision."

"Whether refining basic pill formulas or creating one's own pill formulas, this pass must be passed."

"Of course, if I don't cultivate properly for a lifetime and only refine the Explosive Flame Pill used for throwing, I don't have to eat it."

Li Yu muttered to himself, then with a tragic look, plunged into the pill refining room.

Not long after!

The pill fire inside hadn't been lit, but a large amount of vomiting sounds began to come out.

Occasionally, it was mixed with painful wails and roars like "it's so hard to eat."

=9+Book_Bar

Inside the pill refining room, a familiar large vat was placed in front of Li Yu, the very one he was in when he was reborn.

But at this time, there was no cold liquid inside, only a more disgusting mixture of various medicinal dregs, saliva, and acid.

He stood in front of the vat, mouth open, constantly stuffing poisonous minerals like cinnabar and mica, as well as drugs like elephant gall and tiger whip, sent over by Su Xing, one after another into his mouth.

Then he chewed carefully and spat it into the vat.

Or, vomited into it.

Most of the time, it was the latter.

This is one of the side effects of Alchemist Apprentice cultivation!

Although Li Yu's body already possessed poison resistance and drug resistance that crushed mortals.

But eating too much, accumulating it is not a joke.

Not to mention that there is no "nausea resistance" in his Alchemist Apprentice characteristics, and none of these things are delicious.

Time passed quickly.

I don't know how much Li Yu had eaten, his whole person was pale, his body was growing differently in various places, the colors were different, and there was a lot of swelling, accompanied by evil signs like meat tumors and rotten sores.

According to reason, he should stop and detoxify.

But he didn't at all, as if he had entered a special state.

Previously, eating too much would not only cause vomiting, but poisonous smoke and gas would also spray out from his seven orifices.

But this time, it was very different.

No matter how much he ate, he only took in and didn't let out.

One after another, all kinds of strange things that were completely unrelated were stuffed into his stomach by him.

His whole person was swollen and unbearable, like a giant.

Finally!

It seemed to have reached a certain critical point, and Li Yu's eyes, which had turned into dead fish eyes because of being tortured too miserably, suddenly flashed with brilliance.

His mouth, which was already numb and covered with various sores, opened, and he shouted:

"Su Xing!"

"Open the furnace!"

Accompanied by his order, the basic pill refining furnace behind him, which had been preheated, became extremely red in just a few breaths.

As soon as the furnace lid opened, terrifying heat sprayed out.

And Li Yu, like a tired bird returning to its nest, jumped up crazily and fell directly into the furnace.

It was fortunate that his pill refining assistant was a mechanical maid like Su Xing.

If it were a living person, they would have been scared to death by Li Yu's horrific move.

But after all, it's Su Xing!

Without a ripple, she lightly covered the pill furnace lid again.

At the same time, a cold mechanical voice came out of her mouth:

"According to existing signs, the success rate of the pill the master is about to refine is eighty percent."

"There is a ten percent chance that the master will die suddenly in the pill furnace."

"The remaining ten percent, the master will be poisoned and out of control, at which time the backup order can be activated to cut off the master's limbs, restrict personal movement, and help the master recover his sanity."
