Chapter 66

"Fellow Daoist Shu Fu, this medicinal cuisine is called 【Hundred-Bitter Pill】, which I cooked with the tears of various sorrows, the bitter glands in the bodies of hundreds of mystic objects, and various sweets."

"Every pill is extremely bitter when it enters the mouth, but the aftertaste is a different sweetness, and there is no repetition."

"Ordinary people eat one, and before they can feel the sweetness, they will first develop an impulse to hang themselves."

"For you, it is just right, enough to make you feel joy."

"As for the side effects, there is still the problem of addictiveness, so Fellow Daoist should try to control the amount of consumption."

"Fellow Daoist Mi... Sister Mi, this medicinal cuisine is called 【Beauty Sashimi】, which I took various beauty-nurturing medicinal herbs and ingredients, boiled them complexly until they condensed into glass meat jelly, and then filled and fused with the skin of a mermaid mystic object."

"The effect is very simple: nourish beauty and replenish yin, or it can be worth several days of your cultivation, Sister."

"And it is extremely convenient to carry, with a shelf life of half a year."

"As for the side effects? None."

When Li Yu finished the last sentence, Mi Wuniang, who was waiting to hear the side effects and price, couldn't help but laugh, and then cast an ambiguous look at Li Yu that seemed like flirting.

But in terms of action, there was still no transgression, nor did she give Li Yu any benefits, such as letting him take a look at the beautiful scenery in front of her chest.

She just picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the sashimi elegantly, while asking Li Yu:

"Why do everyone else's medicinal cuisines have side effects, but only Sister's doesn't."

"Could it be that you want to live with Sister, but your face was too thin before, so you didn't agree the first time?"

"Or is there something else you are asking for?"

Li Yu didn't reply immediately, but looked at the other five people.

The entire Ninth Exploration Team!

Because of the medicinal cuisine he tailor-made, everyone was in a very good mood.

So, he revealed a casual look, smiled and waved his hands:

"Accident, purely an accident."

"Being able to join the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yu is already infinitely satisfied. How dare I have any excessive demands."

"But speaking of which, I do have a small matter to inquire about."

"Although my little brother hasn't reached the perfect realm in Sequence 8, I can't help but plan for Sequence 7."

"It's a pity that one of the main spirit materials in the secret medicine recipe I need can't be found at all in Wanfu City. Everything here is broken in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney... cough."

"In short, I have to go to the Qian, Li, and Jing nations to find it, and I have to pick it while it's hot myself. Even a bounty smuggling won't work. It's really troublesome."

"But I don't have enough merit to leave the city, and I haven't saved enough for the proper fee to leave the household... Of course, I don't dare to trouble everyone with these."

"I just want to inquire, do the seniors know any other ways to leave the city?"

"By the way, the prerequisite is safety. If there is danger, I would rather not go."

On the surface, Li Yu's acting was passable.

But including Zhan Kui, the six Sequence 7s who had been mixing for many years, their eyes were sharp.

At a glance, they saw Li Yu's "clumsiness."

After looking at each other, they all smiled in unison.

Subsequently, the two-headed old man Luo Sheng laughed and answered:

"Kid!"

"The main spirit material you mentioned, wouldn't it be the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of a practitioner of the righteous god sect?"

"Wanting an honest person, and wanting you to pick it while it's hot yourself... tsk tsk, the god-ascending pathway you practice, even if it's not the Jinshen Sect, it probably has some connection."

"Ah!"

"How... how could that be."

At this moment, Li Yu was completely ashamed after being exposed.

The six people in his heart were all secretly laughing.

And the reaction of the six people also made Li Yu happy in his heart.

This is exactly what he wanted!

Li Yu never felt that the six team members of the Ninth Exploration Team in front of him, including Zhan Kui, were good people. Good people who could mix out in Wanfu City could not exist.

So he deliberately let it slip, and detailed the medicinal cuisine skills that were clearly related to 【Vegetable Person Cooking】, and also had an apparently excessive inquiry behavior.

Let the six people think: this kid is an evil cultivator with amazing medicinal cuisine skills and related to the Jinshen Sect, but not very smart.

Only in this way would the six people feel at ease and not be on guard, and would give some extra benefits in order to control this good private chef.

Exactly as Li Yu expected, he saw Luo Sheng's tone change:

"You don't want to say it, we won't force it. There's plenty of time."

"But the kind of path you want is indeed there."

"It's not complicated, just smuggling."

"There are quite a few practitioners in the city who are like you, either needing to go to the three nations to get materials for the next sequence, or like the Sequence 8 【Flower Queen】 of the Evil God pathway, whose advancement ritual needs the looting and cooperation of ordinary mortals. After all, the number of mortals in the city is far less than in the three nations."

"The reasons for leaving the city are five flowers and eight doors, but most of them don't meet the proper conditions, so naturally only smuggling is left."

"This is actually tacitly approved by the City Lord's Mansion and the four district overlords. Anyway, these evil cultivators who smuggle out to do things will soon return. The path is extremely safe, and there is a trip every few days."

"Of course, practitioners without paths or connections don't know these things at all."

"We happen to know an intermediary who does this, but to join, you need to pass a background check first to prove that you are not a spy from the three nations, or a cowardly person who just wants to escape taxes and leave, so as not to implicate the entire smuggling chain if something happens." "Background check...?"

"Here, take it."

Just when Li Yu was about to think about whether the word "background check" was what he understood.

He saw Luo Sheng reach into his bosom and throw him a 【Bronze Communicator】.

Li Yu took it, his face full of doubt.

The six people looked at each other, and laughed loudly in unison again. Finally, it was Zhan Kui who spoke:

"Kid, did you think that our City Lord's Mansion wouldn't even investigate when recruiting people? You already passed it last night."

"Didn't expect it, tsk tsk, you kid are so ruthless."

"That night of the great escape, carrying a mechanical maid, slaughtering so many refugees, your methods are okay."

Hearing this, Li Yu revealed a look of shock, half true and half false.

=9+Shu_Ba

Sure enough, none of them are good things!

First meeting, both friendly and giving benefits.

Secretly, they investigated him to the bottom.

It was also fortunate that Li Yu was originally very "clean," neither a spy from the three nations nor someone who needed to escape taxes and leave.

Seeing his reaction, the six people laughed even more happily.

Fortunately, at this time, the movement of a steam airship came from above the camp, and the six people stood up in unison, each carrying a portion of the medicinal spirit food Li Yu had prepared in advance, and went to the airship.

Before leaving, they just told Li Yu:

"We need two days to come back. You only need to sign in every day and drill medicinal cuisine in the camp."

"Leave the camp at You hour, you can call the mechanical doll to report wear and tear. I have set the permission in advance. As long as you don't empty the entire camp, taking some materials home won't be pursued by anyone."

"Yes, Captain!"

Li Yu responded with a brilliant smile while tucking the communicator into his bosom.

The six members of the exploration team were still immersed in the joy of the rare medicinal cuisine they had just obtained, and not one of them noticed Li Yu's sincere intention when waving goodbye.

As if he wasn't saying goodbye briefly, but thinking about never seeing them again.

You hour, the huge camp outside the City Lord's Mansion was once again bustling.

What was different was that this time it was getting off work.

Amidst the flickering neon signs, whistling sounds, and mechanical dolls flying around, practitioners dressed in various ways, either empty-handed or carrying some things, left the camp to go home after reporting.

Inside, there was an employee who was slightly eye-catching.

It was a sloppy teenager wearing a work badge and pass order. Similarly getting off work, similarly carrying things, this guy carried a large package regardless of anyone, and walked down the steam elevator with a face full of "it should be so."

Needless to say, it was Li Yu.

He indeed didn't empty the entire camp, but he wasn't too polite either.

Picking and choosing, he packed a portion of pill materials, mystic objects, and rare foods that he could use.

After he reported his departure, the mechanical doll was still calculating accounts and issued some routine prompts: "The wear and tear rate of the Ninth Exploration Team camp is a bit high, please adjust in time, otherwise there is a chance of being deducted rewards..."

Li Yu left the camp, stopped a monster bus, and went to the Tianji Workshop.

Not long after, Li Yu pushed open his courtyard door, and Hongdou also greeted him holding the electric eel lamp as usual.

However, this time, Li Yu couldn't look at this warm scene for more than a glance, and went to the pill refining room quite impatiently and urgently.

"Hongdou, go, refine pills."

"Yes, Master!"

Although she didn't know what happened, the mechanical maid cooperated with Li Yu unconditionally.

Still this day, midnight.

The meat shop courtyard door opened again, and Li Yu, who had disguised himself in who knows how many layers, walked out holding a mechanical fox.

He stopped a night monster bus at the entrance of the old street, let it move along the route, stopped at a random station, stopped another bus on a different route... After cycling many times, half a stick of incense later, Li Yu's figure suddenly appeared in a dilapidated courtyard near the city gate in the South District of Wanfu City.

In front of him, a steam airship painted black all over was parked.

And on that airship, there were already quite a few people, and they were all chatting enthusiastically.

As if they weren't smuggling out of the city tonight, but just going out to buy something and see what the scenery was like.

Li Yu saw this!

The worry he originally had about "fishing law enforcement" and the like vanished instantly.

It seems Zhan Kui and the others were right. For practitioners with paths and connections, smuggling out of the city is nothing at all.

Only the bottom layer like Sun Sanniang and Jiao Qing!

Would be honest, hardworking, extremely stupid, saving up for some fee to leave the household.
