Chapter 39

In the bright and eerie pill refining room, accompanied by terrifying heat, strands of eerie gas sprayed out.

There were all kinds of colors and smells, extremely unpleasant.

If a living person were here, they would be poisoned to death on the spot.

Of course, it couldn't do anything to a mechanical maid.

Su Xing stood in front of the pill furnace, not knowing how long she had waited, her posture hadn't changed at all, only a pair of mechanical eyes flashing with red light scanned back and forth.

Suddenly, "bang bang bang" collision sounds came from the pill furnace in front of her, and the heat increased instantly, steaming those poisonous gases until they were distorted.

"Warning, warning!"

"The temperature of the pill furnace is out of control, the inner liner is about to break, the probability of furnace explosion is rising, fifty percent... sixty... seventy."

"Furnace explosion is imminent!"

"Activate backup order to prevent the master from losing control and escaping."

Accompanied by Su Xing's cold and ruthless voice, the familiar hissing sound came, but this time she didn't just take out the chainsaw sword, she even took out the electric blade gun and defense shield to stand by.

The next breath, the pill furnace really exploded.

Fragments flew everywhere, and in the surging smoke and dust.

Li Yu, who was completely naked, got up while "coughing, coughing, coughing," and was about to look for his maid.

Just as he looked up, he heard the roar of the chainsaw and saw Su Xing's cute and charming fox girl face.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"I haven't lost control."

Li Yu couldn't care about the discomfort coming from his body and hurriedly shouted to stop.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted pre-storing the "Master's Secret Order" for this unlucky child. Once the conditions were met, her actions were really not ambiguous.

In a normal state, Li Yu couldn't block her chainsaw sword, let alone now that he was stacked with negative states.

If he shouted a second later, he estimated his pair of arms would have landed on the ground.

And as soon as Su Xing stopped, Li Yu didn't have time to continue muttering. He suppressed the unspeakable pain in his abdomen, suddenly rushed out of the smoke, quickly took a rosewood box for holding pills, and then he suddenly opened his mouth.

The next moment, only a "vomit" sound was heard.

With saliva stretching and the corners of his mouth splitting, a black pill the size of a fist, round and round, flashing with metallic alien colors, was spat out by him and fell into the box.

After spitting out this pill, Li Yu felt relaxed all over, and all negative states were swept away.

On his face, a look of joy mixed with lingering fear and luck appeared.

From his expression, it could be judged that the crazy and stimulating pill refining scene just now was not his voluntary choice.

"I don't know whether to say I'm lucky or really unlucky."

"The first pass of Alchemist Apprentice cultivation triggered 【Epiphany】, forcing me to use the furnace state to refine pills."

"In the normal order, I should slowly use the pill refining furnace, refine dozens of furnaces of pills, and then slowly advance to the furnace version, which is to use my own body as a pill refining furnace and release pill fire for internal refining. At this stage, Alchemist Apprentices can create their own pill formulas."

"Thanks to this basic pill furnace maintaining the external temperature for me, otherwise if I came to internal refining, I'm afraid I would have already burned myself to death."

"Could it be the inertial side effect left by refining the Forbidden Egg last time? Why do I want to jump in as soon as I see the furnace?"

Li Yu muttered to himself.

Then he didn't even care about putting on clothes, and his scorching gaze fell on the overly large spirit pill.

Although it was caused by a coincidence!

But this pill was indeed created by him.

Extremely complex pill formulas and related information emerged in his mind:

"Unnamed spirit pill!"

"From the recipe, it has a bit of every effect. The number and taste of the strange things I just ate almost caught up with the food that Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang had been feeding the original body for many years, and it also poured out all my negative emotions..."

"Can this thing be eaten? After swallowing it, won't I end up like Yi Ya?"

"Taste a little bit and see, anyway, I won't die, at most I'll vomit again."

Muttering, Li Yu had already reached out and picked a small lump from the fist-sized spirit pill and put it into his mouth.

The pill meat, still stained with his saliva, instantly turned into a cold breath that was bitter to the extreme, melting into his limbs and bones.

The next breath!

He transformed.

The scene was quite similar to when he mutated into the 【Child of the Forbidden God】 at the beginning.

His limbs turned into sharp claws, his muscles were full, his skin hardened, a scarlet vertical eye grew on his brow, and at the same time, large patches of "markings" like flames covered his whole body...

There were some elements of the Child of the Forbidden God, but it was very different and even more evil.

If it were just this, it would be fine, but the terrible part was yet to come.

After the transformation, a strong killing intent suddenly rose in Li Yu's heart, which should have been calm, as well as a coldness that looked down on all living beings.

Driven by this emotion, he disappeared from the pill refining room like a flash, and when he returned in the blink of an eye, he had an extra cold-shining autopsy knife in his hand.

Compassionate Heart Knife!

When Li Yu held this small knife, that biting killing intent reached its peak.

In a trance, Li Yu felt like a combination of the "Child of the Forbidden God" and "Yi Ya."

If it weren't for the last trace of sanity in his mind, which seemed to be completely locked, and no matter what, it couldn't disappear, I'm afraid he would have already started a massacre.

It was also this remnant sanity of his that made Su Xing opposite him fall into confusion.

The chainsaw sword was raised from time to time, and then put down again, obviously unable to accurately judge whether "the master is crazy or not." It was fortunate that her intelligence was recovering; if it were the initial Su Xing, she would have crashed and smoked by now.

Fortunately, at this time, the pill's time limit was also up. The bitter breath dissipated, he blinked his eyes to recover all his sanity, and the strange signs on his body faded away.

The doubts that had existed in his eyes before also dissipated, turning into sighs:

"The first self-created pill formula born from an accidental epiphany actually exhausted all my accumulations during this period?"

"Also, besides the Child of the Forbidden God and Yi Ya, and the mental state I have always suppressed during this period, where else could I have inspiration?"

"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't really go crazy."

"This pill is also a good pill. Taking a small lump can maintain that form for about ten breaths. If you add this autopsy blade, even if you can't catch up with Yi Ya in a non-brain-damaged state, it should not be much different."

"It's just that you have to dig and eat it. If you swallow the whole pill, you won't be choked to death, but you will also fall into a dangerous state."

"As for the name of this pill formula, it's better to call it 【Compassionate Heart Pill】."

Li Yu, who was thinking about what name to take, saw the autopsy blade in his hand and very sloppily plagiarized it.

At this time, his mood was already very good.

Although the past few hours of the first pill refining cultivation had subjected him to torture-like suffering.

=9+Book_Bar

The way the pill came out was also extremely disgusting.

But the harvest was beyond expectations.

Once refined in the furnace, the fatigue and discomfort in his flesh were all gone.

The bigger harvest was the "Heart-Soul." From the time he was reborn and possessed the original body to today, he had experienced too much during this period, almost always in a tight state of life-and-death crisis, and often had to listen to the Forbidden God muttering the cannibal song.

If it were another ordinary person, or even a ruthless person like the original body who could self-mutilate into a human stick, they would either have gone crazy or obediently joined the evil cultivation camp and become a pervert who ate people happily and unscrupulously.

For example, Yi Ya, Jiao Qing, Sun Sanniang, and all the neighbors, they were not born crazy, I'm afraid they also experienced something before they fell.

Li Yu didn't go crazy, he just suppressed a lot of negative emotions, and his style of doing things became urgent and radical.

Now, this state seemed to be gone, and it was all refined into the 【Compassionate Heart Pill】.

"However, it's probably difficult to refine this pill a second time in a short period."

"It's a big consumer of pill materials, and the pill refiner needs to be suppressed enough, at the critical point of going crazy, the process is painful, and the result is disgusting... If I write out this pill formula, I'm afraid no peers will dare to experiment?"

Thinking to this point, Li Yu suddenly understood why many paths have sequences that can refine pills and medicine.

But the pill formulas and medicine formulas that can be shared are pitifully few.

Obviously, each has its own irreplaceable secrets.

With a slap, Li Yu closed the box, put away the huge Compassionate Heart Pill that was still stained with his saliva, and then called his maid:

"Su Xing!"

"Contact that promoter Shi Dazhu, let him send another basic pill refining furnace, as well as twenty portions of fire essence and fire-attribute minerals, and let him come forward to purchase these strange things and transcendent ingredients for me..."

"Hmm, you go out and get a set of clothes for me again."

Li Yu finished speaking in one breath, always feeling like he had forgotten something.

Finally, he realized he was still naked, and hurriedly added a sentence.

After Su Xing went to get busy, Li Yu stood at the door of the pill refining room, glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and couldn't help but continue to think in his heart:

"With the unexpected joy of the Compassionate Heart Pill, my self-protection ability has improved by a large margin."

"Next, I should prepare some pills for running away, such as the 【Godly Foot Pill】 in the basic pill formula."

"Compared to several other pill formulas, this cost-effectiveness is already the highest."

"As for the recovery and treatment direction... use medicinal cuisine, see if I can make cheap and easy-to-use medicinal cuisine."

Li Yu had these thoughts because he discovered.

To achieve the full preparations in his mind, spending all the remaining ten thousand taels wouldn't be enough, so he could only try his best to save.

Of course, some places cannot be saved.

For example, letting Shi Dazhu purchase for him, he could take Su Xing to that 【Taiping Grand Market】 to purchase one by one without getting tired, which would definitely save a lot, but it was too time-consuming and added some unpredictable risks, so it was better to add some money and let the Tiangong Sect promoter who was already fully familiar with it do it.

Refining the Compassionate Heart Pill was an unrepeatable accident, his original intention was just to cultivate the art of "ingestion" first.

"There is one day and one night left, I hope it's enough."

"I hope even more that these preparations, plus Su Xing, can all be brought into the so-called Mystic Domain Spirit Realm."

One day and one night passed in a flash.

Still in the courtyard, but this time in the kitchen.

Surrounded by strands of fragrant aroma, Li Yu looked expectant and conflicted, looking at the thumb-sized fresh meat balls piled up in the big pot in front of him.

Well, too fresh.

Scarlet all over, as if they had been kneaded but not yet boiled.

Hundred-Flavor Meat Balls!

A kind of medicinal cuisine that Li Yu successfully experimented with after consuming a large amount of precious ingredients, especially the strange flesh and blood transported from outside the city.

Of course, compared to proper spirit pills, the cost is still much lower.

He had spent all of the remaining ten thousand taels, and besides refining twenty more Explosive Flame Pills, he also supplemented five Godly Foot Pills, and the remaining small part was all used to experiment with Hundred-Flavor Meat Balls.

Unlike the 【Nine-Turn Ascension Soup】 that caused Yi Ya's death, Li Yu was sure that these meat balls could be eaten, and each one had extraordinary effects. The small side effect was that each one had a different taste, so it was called Hundred-Flavor.

As for which hundred flavors?

Li Yu himself couldn't be sure.
