Chapter 4

It could be seen that a perfectly good account book had almost been written into a diary by Sun Sanniang.

This made it even more convenient for Li Yu. His understanding of "Wanfu City" was rapidly changing from strange to familiar.

His face became even more solemn, and he thought in his heart:

"In Wanfu City, even Transcendents have to work hard to get a bite to eat."

"Various harsh taxes and miscellaneous levies aside, housing prices and commodity prices are extremely high, and there are often high-sequence powerhouses who go crazy and destroy wantonly. If your luck is slightly worse, you might suffer an unprovoked disaster."

"The rules in the city are the law of the jungle. If you can't show strength, you'll be swallowed alive and eaten out of house and home... not to mention other things, just the neighbors in the Tianji Workshop Old Street where the meat shop is located hide many evil cultivator Transcendents. If you show a flaw, they will pounce on you."

"After Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang died, the meat shop courtyard will be inherited by me, but I must never do that meat-selling business."

"How can I make money? How can I support myself? How can I solve the forbidden egg in my belly?"

Ordinary people falling into Li Yu's situation would be panicked and not know what to do.

He adapted quickly, and in such a short time, he had already thought of the best way out for himself.

Glancing at his eye membrane and touching his slightly bulging belly, he thought:

"Although the situation is bad, there is something to rely on."

"This golden finger that transmigrated with me, called 【All Things Return to One】, can be used once as long as it is fully charged. It has the power to analyze all things and can be called a cheat code."

"Another thing is this forbidden egg. Although it wants to possess and kill me every moment, it also indirectly makes me possess the power of a Cuisine Person... You must know that this is the transcendent strange power that Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang dreamed of."

"From the account book, I know that evil cultivators on the Forbidden God path usually work in the catering industry in Wanfu City... Hmm?"

When the thought reached this point, Li Yu seemed to have gained something.

He suddenly stood up, carrying the electric eel lamp, and came to the courtyard.

What entered his eyes was a mysterious and deep scene: the wide courtyard was planted with two rows of purple-black ghost bamboo on the left and right, enough to block all peeping, and in the middle grew two large trees.

The peach tree covered in human-faced tree tumors was called the Human-Faced Peach.

And the enchanting willow tree with a posture like a woman swaying was called the Beauty Willow.

Both were bizarre plants capable of absorbing evil spirits and evil energy.

The couple spent a lot of money to buy them, just to prevent the side effects of excessive slaughter of two-legged sheep: evil spirits haunting them.

Now, they gave Li Yu an inspiration.

"This courtyard looks perfect for building a transcendent private kitchen."

"The 【Forbidden Recipes】 in my mind are enough to support the attractiveness of the dishes."

"A secret private banquet that only cultivators can participate in, supplying spiritual food with extraordinary effects."

"It can even go a step further, deliberately guiding it to develop into a mysterious gathering, communicating with each other, and trading."

"In this process, I can both eavesdrop on transcendent knowledge to charge the bubbles and peek and analyze to obtain those secrets and valuable secret medicine recipes almost for free."

When he said this, Li Yu looked at the storage room again.

It was filthy, but if it could be cleaned up, wouldn't it be the perfect trading place?

As for the startup capital?

Li Yu walked straight to the small dark room where the two corpses were still placed, slapped his forehead, remembered something, and immediately took action.

First, he returned to the master bedroom and found two black wooden boxes covered with yellow talismans.

After stepping into the small dark room, he immediately grasped the filthy bone-stripping knife. After hesitating for half a second, he immediately took action.

Enduring the nausea, he directly chopped open Jiao Qing's skull. In the next instant, he saw a large piece of purple-red jelly-like brain matter inside.

It was trembling slightly, emitting a creepy and bizarre feeling.

Just one look!

Li Yu, who was barely a Transcendent, also felt a not-small threat.

Not daring to touch it, he held Jiao Qing's back of the head with one hand and held the wooden box with the other, tilting it slightly, and this mass of highly toxic brain matter entered the wooden box and was sealed by Li Yu.

While feeling relieved, Li Yu's mind also emerged with relevant account items:

"One box of human bear brain matter, eighty taels of silver, used to sacrifice to the Forbidden God in exchange for a forbidden egg."

"Since the brain matter of the monster called the human bear is worth so much, I think this box of highly toxic brain matter of the cannibal demon won't be much worse."

When Li Yu finished muttering this, he was already carrying the knife and walking towards Sun Sanniang's corpse.

Accompanied by a burst of dissection movements and sharp hissing.

He saw him pull out a bloody intestine with sharp teeth growing at both ends with both hands, and stuffed it fiercely into another yellow talisman wooden box.

Another account item also emerged:

"One ghost intestine, two hundred taels of silver, used to sacrifice to the Forbidden God in exchange for a forbidden egg."

"Hiss, so expensive? Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang really paid a huge price to ascend to become 【Cuisine People】."

After disposing of the spoils, Li Yu didn't care about his blood-stained hands and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Filthy bone-stripping knife!

Highly toxic brain matter!

Activated blood intestine!

Fallen Human Skin Scroll!

These four strange items, if calculated according to the similar market price in the account book,

Selling any one of them casually would be enough to make a table of extraordinary spiritual food.

There was no need to worry about the source of guests. With the original owner's memory and that account book, gathering a table of guests was more than enough.

Choose carefully the first time!

If it becomes popular, a strict invitation system must be adopted.

The more Li Yu thought, the more excited he became.

If the plan succeeds, not only can he gain a foothold in the city, but he has also found a shortcut to quickly charge the golden finger.

Solving the forbidden egg, even finding a path to godhood suitable for himself, becoming a cultivator, etc., will not be a luxury.

With an initial plan, the panic in Li Yu's heart was swept away.

Washing his hands clean, he returned to the master bedroom with the four strange items, then took paper and pen and began to select the first batch of invited guests.

By the way, he also wrote a "Permanent Closure Notice for Jiao's Meat Shop," preparing to post it out early tomorrow morning. Although it hadn't happened yet, Li Yu could almost foresee how much dissatisfaction the closure of the meat shop would cause.

"Heh, in this Wanfu City, it seems there aren't many normal ordinary people?"

"The so-called simple folkways have other meanings."

What made Li Yu feel this way were some images in the original owner's memory.

Those were faces that were sallow and thin but with green eyes, all ordinary people in the South District.

They didn't possess transcendent power, but they often came to patronize the business.

You must know that the two crazy parents sold two-legged sheep meat.

It was either wholesale or caught and cooked by the two themselves.

Those people came to buy every few days or half a month, and also asked the two to provide methods, calling it: taste something fresh.

Without a doubt, the meat shop business was booming and stable and profitable.

=9+Shu_Ba

If he really inherited it completely, plus the advantage of being a Child of the Forbidden God, not only could he support himself, but he could also easily ascend to "Cuisine Person," and even go to impact the more powerful Sequence 7.

Unfortunately, even if he died on the spot, Li Yu would never do such a thing.

"There are many paths to godhood in this world."

"If there is a chance, I still have to find an Orthodox God sequence to walk, such as the 【Sword Hero】 that Jiao Qing, that beast, kept thinking about. It is rumored that this sequence belongs to the Dangmo Sect and possesses many great powers like flying with a sword, traveling to heaven and earth, and subduing demons and cutting evil. It's just that I don't know what path it is, or what sequence it is?"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. What I should do now is still gain a foothold and save my life."

Li Yu suppressed the restlessness in his heart, then continued to select the list and read the account book.

Time passed quickly.

Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of gears turning and mechanical wings spreading, Li Yu seemed to have sensed something and suddenly detached from the immersion.

Before he could check whether the second "Truth Bubble" had been completely lit, he turned his head and saw a mechanical rooster as big as a calf, with its main material being bronze, flapping its wings and pouncing towards Li Yu.

On the way, a mechanical sound rang out:

"Master, Master!"

"Get up and sell meat!"

After speaking, steam rose from the bronze chicken's back, and red light surged from its belly, and a burst of fire with a strong smoky atmosphere erupted.

Although the fire was extremely weak, it still made Li Yu cough violently.

With a look of shock, he staggered out of the master bedroom.

For the first time, he quite agreed with Sun Sanniang's words in the account book.

"The Tiangong Sect's salesmen are all dead liars."

"How could this kind of troublesome thing be successfully sold?"

Li Yu complained while glancing at his eye membrane.

The scene that made him happy immediately appeared.

Not only was the second truth bubble lit, but the third, larger bubble was also 10% charged.

This meant that he now possessed another opportunity to turn into a "bubble body."

And the time limit and range should be longer and larger.

"Don't waste the opportunity easily until the critical moment."

"The ability to analyze all things, as long as it is used well, whether it is saving a life or peeking at secrets to improve oneself, is not a problem."

"Coo coo coo..."

Li Yu was happy when a familiar sense of hunger came.

His face immediately became ugly. Without touching it, he knew that his abdomen must be covered in blood spots again, and the egg filaments were stirring.

He cursed lowly, lifted his feet, and planned to go to the kitchen, where there were still some cured meat, worm-eaten rice, aged pickles, and the like.

But it was also at this time that "bang bang bang" knocking sounds suddenly came from the meat shop outside the courtyard, and at the same time, urging curses from men, women, and children rang out:

"What's going on today? The meat shop isn't open yet, don't want to do business?"

"That's right, that person in my house is greedy, and drove me out early in the morning to buy meat. If it's delayed for too long, I'm afraid I'll be beaten until my skin is torn and flesh is broken."

"Don't argue, I just heard Jiao's bronze chicken reporting the dawn. If they aren't awake, they should be."

"Bronze chicken? Tiangong Sect's thing, did a sucker really buy that?"

"It's already the Chen hour, Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang haven't gotten up yet. They wouldn't have been fighting all night in bed, would they? I heard the couple has always wanted to have a second child, quite hardworking."

"Shh, have a second child? Those who have eaten forbidden meat have bodies full of poison. Let alone having children, even entangling on the bed will poison each other half to death."

Hearing these sounds, Li Yu's footsteps stagnated, his face solemn.

He had long known that 【Jiao's Meat Shop】 was very popular in this area of Tianji Workshop Old Street.

He didn't expect to still underestimate it.

Almost all those who could open their mouths to curse were evil cultivator Transcendents just like Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang.

Of course, they were all some unranked ones who had mastered some strange powers but couldn't reach the level of 【Sequence 8】.

And those sallow and thin ordinary people who were greedy for this bite didn't dare to say a word, only silently standing in the corner, waiting for these strong people to finish buying before they dared to step forward to buy some scraps.

How to deal with these people?

Li Yu had already thought of a plan last night, but when it came to the moment, he was inevitably nervous.

Open that door!

It didn't just mean facing that group of starving ghosts and unranked evil cultivators, but also meant Li Yu had to face this creepy and bizarre world for the first time.

After calming down for a few breaths, he took a deep breath, went back to the master bedroom to take the closure notice, touched his belly and secretly said "starving at just the right time," and then Li Yu walked towards the door.

On the way, his eyelids drooped, the whites of his eyes rolled up, his expression was cold, and the two rows of evil eyes on his forehead rolled around, as if they were about to open at any time. A fierce, evil, and strange feeling of "strangers stay away" immediately surged out.
