the stench on his body often permeates several streets, and not a single resident of Taiping Ward wishes to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also know that out of ten times he visits the Ghost Market, he only gains something once or twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, a small bowl of thick soup could actually alleviate his suffering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is no wonder that the next moment, Lu Heng tossed over a gold card and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take all of this soup you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he reached out to pick up the entire pot to pour it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very quickly, he was blocked by Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, wait a moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu stood up with a brilliant smile, despite the suddenly dangerous gaze from Lu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he seemed to perform a magic trick, pulling out a much smaller but more tightly sealed soup pot from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, you may not know, but this medicinal spirit soup of mine comes in two versions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ordinary one is most effective for fellow cultivators who are unranked or at Sequence 8; for a Sequence 7 existence like yourself, only the first bowl has any effect, and drinking more is just a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this pot is quite different; it is called the [Nurturing Nature and Extending Life Hundred-Turn Ascension Soup], and it took me eighty-one days of painstaking effort to brew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, would you like to try this soup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Yu finished speaking, all eyes immediately converged on the small pot in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first soup as a precursor, no one questioned his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Lu Heng, whose eyes were so eager he could barely resist snatching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu was truly afraid this fellow would reach out; setting aside whether it was dirty or would contaminate his soup, the key was that a single touch could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for an answer, Li Yu opened the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used the same trick again, but with double the honey dew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene identical to the previous one, yet even more brilliant, appeared once again in the Taiping Ghost Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the commotion was even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large crowd from several streets further away was also attracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is normal for spirit food to glow, but this level of iridescence, mixed with a medicinal fragrance that felt soothing just to smell, meant even a fool knew something good had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the stall, an increasing number of people saw with their own eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"soup\" shimmering with iridescence in the pot had actually condensed into a paste, vibrant in color, with fragrance and medicinal Qi intertwined; it was alluring to the extreme, as if no spirit pill or great medicine could compare to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu's exaggerated introduction and that strange, long name naturally contained a fair amount of boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that talk of seven-times-seven or nine-times-nine was fake; he had made it in a single night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of taste and medicinal effect, he had not exaggerated too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he himself was quite surprised!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his first medicinal dish was [Hundred-Flavor Meatballs]; who would have thought the quality of the second would take such a leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, rest assured, although this pot of soup cost me more effort and the ingredients are much rarer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The price is only doubled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four hundred taels a bowl, would Senior like to taste it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Li Yu had already directed Hong Dou to scoop a bowl and pass it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the price of four hundred taels, Lu Heng didn't even blink; instead, he eagerly took the bowl, pressed his rotted lips against the bloody opening, and took a sip, the pasty thick soup instantly sliding down his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, his eyes widened, and an even more foul stench than before \"puffed\" out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this could not stop the crowd from watching this miraculous scene; the sores and pustules on Lu Heng's face were actually receding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he himself could not help but let out an extremely satisfied moan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although after only a few breaths, the malignant backlash within his body grew back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lu Heng did not regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those two or three breaths of \"comfort,\" a mere four hundred taels was truly nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it left the majority of the Sequence 8 crowd in awe, it also abruptly attracted several powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Lu, finding something good and not sending me a message—this friendship of ours has truly faded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Medicinal spirit food? Not bad, not bad; give me a bowl too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the sores on Beggar Lu's face can be cleared; this little fellow has impressive skills. I want a share as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these greetings, one could tell that those who arrived later were also at least Sequence 7 existences, and their physical and mental states appeared quite similar to that of the \"Rotten Person Lu Heng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Yu's eyes, every one of them was not just a big customer, but a carrier of extraordinary knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While entertaining them, he diverted a bit of his attention to eavesdrop on their conversation, learning a few more path sequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charging progress of the sixth Truth Bubble continued to climb forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu wanted to keep collecting money continuously, but unfortunately, he only had two pots of soup in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he sold them at a high price, the spiritual efficacy and taste were there, and the crowd queuing up nearly blocked the end of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only half an hour later, he announced they were sold out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, at the very last moment, a sudden change occurred. Li Yu, who had become wealthy overnight and was stuffed with money, suddenly realized that the enthusiastic flattery that had been pouring in like a tide had vanished without a trace in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replacing it was malice, whether thick or thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Sequence 8 and even Sequence 7 cultivators, each holding a bowl, collectively changed their expressions; their smiles vanished, and they all stared straight at Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some looked at his money, some looked at his pots, and others stared fixedly at him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this transformation from joy to horror was enough to scare some timid people to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a helpless thought emerged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost forgot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Few of those willing to pay this price for a bowl of soup are normal people; most are perverts suffering from torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both physically and mentally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to confirm Li Yu's thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rotten Person Lu Heng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw his rotted mouth stretch open, and while spraying foul air, he gave a hypocritical, fake smile to Li Yu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in being a private chef at my home? Rest assured, the reward will definitely satisfy you; I have over a hundred thousand taels in savings and a pile of strange items, all of which I can gift to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Book_Bar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask for nothing else, just make a few more pots of this soup for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, Lu Heng's sincerity seemed great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But anyone who wasn't a brainless fool could tell that once you followed him, you would likely never be able to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Lu Heng, another Sequence 7 powerhouse extended an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was a middle-aged nun, heavily made up yet wearing Buddhist robes, and so emaciated she was like a \"paper person\"; it was a mystery how she had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, no one, including Li Yu, dared to underestimate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator from the West District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Path of the Immaculate Buddha Mother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sequence 7 [Sun-Eating Matron].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal Sun-Eating Matron is of course not like this; as for this one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it that she picked the wrong person while attempting the \"Sun-Eating Ritual\" and was instead absorbed by the other party; although she eventually succeeded in advancing to Sequence 7, she became a complete slave to the other party in both body and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, whenever she gained freedom and was allowed to go out, her behavior would become abnormally strange and violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with this nun to the West District; my... my master will surely like your craft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Restaurant, you could even go to the fourth floor; you are qualified to be one of my master's chefs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this scene and commotion unfolded, although Li Yu wished he could have Hong Dou release the chainsaw sword and hack them all down one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also glad that \"slaughter\" was not allowed in the Taiping Ghost Market, so he only needed to consider: how to leave here safely without future trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had heard of a special service in the Taiping Ghost Market when he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally thought that after selling these two pots of soup and getting a large sum of money, I would take the opportunity to browse this [Taiping Ghost Market] further, buy all the spirit materials and pill materials I need, and incidentally replenish Hong Dou's clothing, skin, and weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it seems I will have to issue a bounty later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time I come to this Ghost Market, I must at least have refined a pill that allows me to transform and change my Qi, otherwise, the danger is hard to avoid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, Li Yu's gaze drifted between Lu Heng, the thin nun, and the other Sequence 7 perverts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, without hesitation, he called over a Ghost Market administrator not far away who had been watching them with a smile, also wearing dirty Daoist robes but at Sequence 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had been waiting for a while, clearly having anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, are you looking to purchase the [Random Teleportation] service of our Taiping Grand Bazaar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No discount today, it will be five thousand taels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll buy it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after hearing that Li Yu had purchased the expensive random departure service, only half of the crowd dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued to stare straight at Li Yu, watching him being taken up to the fleet of airships high above the market until he completely vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a magnificent, retro-style airship, atop a special mechanical device at its center, Li Yu watched as a large number of special marks were removed from his and Hongdou's bodies after a series of \"disinfection\" and \"Qi-extinguishing\" procedures, and he could not help but reveal a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had chosen to leave on his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, he would have been swarmed and looted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like Lu Heng, the Sun-Eating Crone, the skinny nun, and a group of diners—they didn't spare their praises while drinking the soup, but in reality, they didn't treat him like a human being at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was both amazed by the viciousness and perversion of these people, and also felt that they were quite stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you wanted to rob me, why reveal your malice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't it have been better to mark me quietly, disperse, and then wait for me to leave the Ghost Market before swarming me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They all look like normal people, but in reality, that group is more like a pile of evil things, of ghost-things, wrapped in human skin; drinking my soup was useless—it brought them momentary pleasure, but they immediately reverted to their true selves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu had just finished this lament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath him and his servant, light suddenly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Mystery Workshop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Random teleportation, initiating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1982,"2026-06-21T04:11:00.205Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","013f3575b6687f4107c6b0b2a02f3982211f6efcc8db8aa64aafff7dc9c97554","ten-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--chapter-54","ten-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--chapter-52",427,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ften-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--cover.jpg"]
