I am really a serious alchemist!

Chapter 149 The correct way to open pancake fruit
"Mr. Yu, come and play~"

Facing the voice coming from the bottom of his heart, City Lord Yu smiled perfunctorily and chose to ignore it.

In fact, except when doing bad things, Koyanagi respects his autonomy and lets him take over his body again.

At least in the City Lord's Mansion, he is the real master.

Yu Chengzhu has been single for many years and has never had a Taoist partner. He thought, maybe this is the legendary "female master outside, man master inside"?

Due to the normal communication between the two, he also had a little luck and wanted to persuade Xiao Liu to give up her dark plan.

But she insisted that she wanted to liberate the people of Shuofang City and seek supreme happiness.

City Lord Yu is not blind, he has his own sober judgment, the huge formation covering the whole city, those bloody and weird auras...

If she is just a normal person in the way of the devil who wants to slaughter the whole city, show her cruelty, and satisfy the pleasure of sin, and it doesn't take such a big effort, then she must have an ulterior purpose behind her!
City Lord Yu suspects that this is some kind of evil ritual, a blood sacrifice for a city in exchange for power, or something else.

Each of the large array nodes is connected to the toothless mouth behind him.

This is Xiaoliu's treasure of space, which she called the Lingxi Bead. As for the image of the bead, City Master Yu only saw it when he first saw it.

He thought the mouth had completely ruined the name.

The Consonance Orb can project countless subspaces, these subspaces seem to be a complete world, extremely wide, but in fact only a small area at the core is real.

Under her control, City Lord Yu radiated a lot of distraction and sat in the subspace. In order to preserve the remaining face, he turned into an old man to cover up his real body.

Lin Yu's continuous destruction of formation nodes and blood pools made Xiao Liu furious.

During the day, during the time at the Fortune Casino, her emotions suddenly went berserk, arousing the nodes of the big formation without saying a word, which shocked Lord Yu. Fortunately, no serious consequences were caused in the end.

City Lord Yu saw everything in his eyes. In fact, since Lin Yu's first action, he had been helping secretly. It can be said that he did his best and sacrificed a lot!

Every time Xiao Liu is about to make a move, he will stop him with words:

"Honey, I want to drink some water first."

"Honey, can you take a break?"

"Xiao Liuliu, I'm tired, talk to me for a while."

Although these words are ordinary, they can often achieve miraculous results. It can be said that they have been tried and tested.

This made City Lord Yu feel that he had betrayed his masculinity in exchange for a moment of peace in Shuofang, and an extremely heroic sense of lofty mission arose spontaneously.

No, the Lingxi bead on the back, no, it is Lingxi's big mouth, acting a little strangely, the lips are murmured, and the lips are a little purple, Xiao Liu just wanted to go inside to check, when he heard City Master Yu sighed, showing melancholy, and said : "Do you know what my favorite woman is like?"

……

The patriarch of the Yu family saw Lin Yu and Zeng Weishou disappearing all of a sudden, and asked in surprise, "Why did they even enter the body together? Could it be that here..."

After careful identification, he determined that the remaining fluctuations in the air were traces of long-distance travel.

"Is it combined with the nodes of the teleportation array? What's so special about it? Could it be that it is a reserved backup method to prepare for escaping from Shuofang?"

The ancestor of the Yu family was a little puzzled. There were all villages gathered by ordinary people for a few miles around here, which seemed ordinary.

He sensed where he was distracted, and the connection between the two was faintly visible, as if separated by many spaces.

He didn't rush in. In his plan with Lin Yu, his existence is mainly concealed right now.

And he knew that with the protection of a special puppet and distraction to follow, even if Lin Yu was in danger, he could still escape if he couldn't beat him.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to use this connection to find the real Scarlet Land.

With a flash of his figure, he completely disappeared from the small temple.

In the empty temple, only fragments of clay sculptures remained silently accusing Lin Yu of violence.

……

The Patriarch of the Li family, Li Mu, got the information at the first time. Zeng Wei led a group of bloody people, who looked like walking corpses, to swagger through the market.

And Zeng Wei claimed that it was just chili oil!
Look, is this an excuse that people can come up with?
This kind of lie, it's fine to deceive children, but don't try to deceive the clever and astute Patriarch Li.

For this mysterious and powerful collaborator who fell from the sky, Li Mu has always maintained a high level of vigilance deep in his heart.

After thinking about it, he decided that this matter needs to be reported to his ancestor, and he will decide.

In the depths of the Li family's house, there is a small courtyard.

The outer walls here are covered with thick dark green vines, and in the small courtyard, all kinds of vegetation are thriving, but it looks a bit dim due to the shade of the tree canopy.

An old man who was as thin as a skeleton was playing with flowers and plants.

His eyes were stern, and his face looked extremely fierce, to the extent that he could stop a child from crying.

Li Mu worshiped the ancestor from the bottom of his heart. He grew up listening to the story of the ancestor since he was a child, and thought that he was a ruthless and strong man. He was obsessed with the attitude of using any means to achieve his goal.

The patriarch of the Li family lowered his head and pondered: "Ah, why haven't the flowers bloomed yet? Didn't we water enough yesterday..."

The ancestor of the Li family just looked fierce, not really fierce. When he was young, he would often feel sad because of other people's misunderstanding.

Get used to it when you get old.

There are also many stories about him. He explored the secret realm with his companions many times. In the end, he was the only one who survived. It is widely rumored that he killed all his companions and gained unique benefits.

He just wanted to say that he was the one who stood the last and ran the fastest, but no one believed him.

As for the fight with the Yu family... the long-standing reason is beyond the test, since it has been passed down, let it go.

The juniors are full of energy and never tire of this kind of game.

But if you want to kill yourself, you should sit down and have a sip of tea first.

After listening to Li Mu's report, the patriarch of the Li family stopped his movements, and said in an old voice, "What you said reminds me of the puppets refined by the Blood Spirit Sect, and their behavior is quite similar."

Li Mu couldn't believe it: "Blood Spirit Sect? You mean this is something they caused?"

"I'm just saying it's possible."

Li Mu recalled the process of getting along with Zeng Wei. His behavior was normal and there was no clue.

Most importantly, he is an excellent alchemist.

Li Mu knew that the city guards had sealed off the Fortune Casino, and the relevant documents must have been sent to the city lord's desk, so let the city lord take his time worrying about these important matters.

He asked again: "Old ancestor, when will we officially declare war on the Yu family? I can write an application to the city lord in advance."

If the battle is outside the city, it is naturally not so particular, but it is different inside the city. The two sides have turned upside down, how to calculate the loss of property?What about the safety of the masses?
Could it be possible to go to the Turtle Back Stage to fight?
Li Mu's idea is to ask the city lord to mobilize the large moat formation to protect one or two.

Although he didn't ask so, the city lord would definitely make a move, but he lost the face of the city lord.

At the end of the business war, the Yu family returned home in a big defeat. The Yu family must not be able to sit still and will fight to the death.

At that time, the business war will turn into a real bloody battle between the two, and the key lies in the confrontation between the two big men, and Li Mu is very confident about this.

The ancestor of the Li family glanced at him, this brat is urging me to go out and fight again, can this family stay?
He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I have a double-faced phalaenopsis that has just bloomed here, so I'll take it there and enjoy it with City Lord Yu."

Li Mu was ecstatic in his heart, the ancestor was finally about to move!

The old ancestor went to talk with City Lord Yu in person. If he got the acquiescence of City Lord Yu, it would be much easier to annex the Yu family in the future.

The ancestor of the Li family waved his hand casually, "Help me dig out that double-faced Phalaenopsis, be careful."

Li Mu responded loudly: "Yes!"

……

Lu Xuejian thinks that she has made great progress in spreading pancakes recently, but the lack of customers prevents her from getting the most accurate feedback.

Earlier, she formed a food alliance with a group of catering operators to protest against the Li family.

Li Mugang made a lot of money from the business of the elixir shop, and if he just gave them a little money, the food alliance would be destroyed by itself.

In particular, the aunts who had been loud before immediately quieted down, making Lu Xuejian feel betrayed.

The food alliance disbanded, and Lu Xuejian returned to the normal rhythm, but she felt that the fate between Lijiafang City and herself was over, and it was time to find a new stall.

In chatting with customers, she found that after setting up a stall during this period, her customer base gradually tended to be stable.

Among them, the jailers are the most, and she has known all the jailers in the city, followed by the butlers in charge of personnel recruitment in some families, as well as the teachers and women in Hualou.

This is generally the case, and she did not count some individual ones.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xue decided to go to the prison system to shine.

Her decision was inseparable from the earnest persuasion of the jailers. They sent invitations to Lu Xuejian more than once, hoping that she would join the warm family of Shuofang Prison.

As soon as Lu Xuejian came to Shuofang Prison, she received a warm welcome. Even the warden was alarmed and came to greet her.

She became a No. [-] torture officer in this way, and even the interview process was omitted.

When Lu Xue came back to her senses, she remembered that she was here to apply for a job in the kitchen. How did she become a torture officer?

A colleague of the prison guard, surnamed Yang, was leading Lu Xuejian to familiarize himself with the work.

Warden Yang worshiped: "Since using your pancake fruit, those prisoners with the toughest mouths have all confessed. Thank you for your contribution to the public security of Shuofang City!"

Lu Xue frowned slightly when she saw that, what he said must have influenced the prisoner with delicious food, right?

"You just took office, and we left a lot of prisoners here for you as your performance. Among them is a repeat offender who is extremely stubborn. If you take him down, you can remember to make a great contribution!"

Lu Xuejian took a prisoner list he handed over and began to look at it.

This job can also collect a lot of information, and even supplement some aspects that are difficult for me to touch, which is still very meaningful.

Guard Yang begged, "Can I watch it together? The guards have always wanted to learn your craft, but they have never been able to get started."

Lu Xue didn't take it seriously, "Look at it as you like, and I can teach you if you want to learn."

Warden Yang was ecstatic. This new colleague has a good temper. It is hard to imagine that such food came from her hands.

"We first worked in the torture room. In the end, the felon was special and needed to be kept carefully at all times, so he had to go to his special cell."

"I understand."

The torture room was spacious and bright, even a bit empty, completely different from what Lu Xuejian imagined, but the black traces left on the wall told her that something had been hanging there for a long time.

Warden Yang tidied up his seat a little and said, "This is a new era of torture, those old tools can't keep up and have been eliminated.

"The warden intends to smelt them and make some commemorative trinkets. Even if you don't come, we will give you one."

"Really? Thanks."

Lu Xuejian soon welcomed her first guest in her brief career as a torture officer, no, it was a prisoner.

According to Jailer Yang's intention, it is enough to influence him with delicious food.

Seeing that Lu Xue was worried that there was no place to display her improved skills, she took out the cart at this moment, flexed her muscles, and made a deluxe pancake fruit.

The prisoner didn't know what to do, but he didn't have to suffer the pain of flesh and blood. He was secretly happy, and swallowed the pancake fruit with both fragrance and appearance.

After a while, he made all the moves, and confessed the two accomplices by the way.

Warden Yang recorded excitedly, "This guy is a snitch. He stole more than a thousand pieces of women's clothing. The stolen goods filled a warehouse. So there are accomplices!"

Lu Xuejian secretly remembered that the best-selling ready-to-wear shop in Shuofang is Liji Buzhuang, women prefer bellybands to tube tops, and red is the favorite color of the public...

This information seems to be useless in a short time, but it may come in handy in the long run.

You can pick out those with potential value from here and tell Junior Brother Lin.

After sending out the prisoner who was staring blankly and drooling, the second guest came.

He watched Lu Xuejian's cooking performance for a while, not knowing what he was going to do, but when he received the pancake fruit, he was a little touched.

The food in the prison is so bad that it is almost unbearable. If you can eat such a rich food, what's the point of being a full ghost?
Soon, he recounted his crime with a demented expression.

It turned out that he had heard the rumors of a horse-shaped beast coming to Shuofang City, and longed for a ride. Every midnight, he would move about in various stables, ride one by one, and shave off the mane every time he confirmed one. , as a marker.

What he did led to the birth of a new rumor in Shuofang City, called "the horse hunter in the middle of the night".

It wasn't until he was kicked by a fierce horse that his leg was broken, and he was jailed for theft.

Seeing that Lu Xue didn't care about his crimes, she was more concerned about something he said unintentionally. He traveled all over Shuofang looking for horses, and found that in recent days, all kinds of insects and beasts in Shuofang City were not very active. , seems to have entered a state of dormancy.

This seems like useful information.

time flies.

Lu Xuejian cleaned up the prisoners one by one according to the list, and she realized later that this job was harder than she imagined, and she could see the diversity of human beings through it.

In terms of expanding knowledge, it turns out that prison is also a good choice.

Finally, the special criminal arrived.

Jailer Yang introduced as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Actually, we also invited him to eat pancakes and fruits in advance. I didn't expect him to be able to resist this! But seeing your progress, I feel that there is something to be done!"

Lu Xuejian corrected: "It's influence, let's influence him with the power of delicious food."

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Guard Yang led her through three checkpoints in a row, and the guards at each checkpoint greeted Lu Xuejian cordially, and Lu Xuejian smiled politely in return.

As soon as she walked in, Lu Xue felt her footsteps sinking when she saw it. Jailer Yang explained, "This is a slight escaping wave from the formation that suppresses our cultivation, which will make our cultivation stagnant, but it's okay, let's get used to it." You can move freely.”

They came to a small cage, which could only accommodate one person to lie down, and asked why they could tell, because there was an old man with a disheveled face, lying upright, with his head and feet resting on the black bars of the cage .

He hehe laughed, and there was an indistinct sound in his throat, as if blocked by a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Xiao Yang, come to treat me to dinner again? Is your problem cured? I told you to be restrained."

Jailer Yang's expression changed, he stopped him, and told Lu Xuejian via voice transmission: "Old Man Ge's eyesight is very strong. It is said that he has cultivated a special supernatural power and has the ability to see through illusions. We dare not let him out of the formation." , I'm afraid that if he doesn't pay attention, he will find a flaw somewhere and run away!

"Let me tell you again, Old Man Ge used to work in the City Lord's Mansion, and his status is very high! It seems that he committed a crime and was punished by City Lord Yu and given him the most stringent detention.

"We all guess that he has a big secret hidden in him! Moreover, his collection over the years must be unusually rich. I don't know where it is hidden. Hehe, if we ask about this, it will all belong to our prison!"

Lu Xue saw it clearly, and it was understandable that the jailers valued Old Man Ge's lifelong collection more. This was almost the default rule in the prison, and it was also one of the main motivations for their hard work.

Old man Ge's eyes were bright, and when his gaze swept over, Lu Xuejian suddenly felt a subtle discomfort of being watched.

"What a handsome girl!"

Old man Ge praised, and Lu Xue saw the same change of expression, but the other party did not expose her, but continued: "It's a pity, it's a pity, your foundation is damaged, and you have no hope of advancing. If you can reunite..."

Lu Xue's expression changed dramatically, but within a few breaths, she regained her composure, and said coldly, "Senior, it's time to eat."

Old man Ge became a little interested. Could it be that she made those strange pancakes?
As Lu Xuejian took out the materials to make it, Old Man Ge could no longer maintain a calm expression. He opened his mouth slightly and muttered to himself, "How is it possible? This, isn't this just an ordinary pancake fruit..."

The self-confidence that his eyesight had brought him was hit the hardest at this moment.

Jailer Yang cast a magic spell to send the pancake fruit in. Old man Ge sneered, "I don't believe there is anything special about this thing. I can expose your lies once I eat it."

He stuffed all the pancake fruits into his mouth in two or three mouthfuls, and chewed them.

Jailer Yang was stunned, why is he so brave?Can the spirit really bear it?

The old man Ge just said so many bold words, but now he is so embarrassed. He gradually lowered his proud head and looked at the ground with empty eyes.

Warden Yang was overjoyed and said quickly, "Old man Ge, tell us all the things you have kept from us! I will give you a chance to commute your sentence!"

"me……"

Old man Ge struggled to utter two words, then covered his head in pain, his tone fluctuated, "I saw something I shouldn't see, I can't say it, I can't say it..."

His voice became lower and lower, and he began to talk nonsense.

Prisoner Yang was extremely surprised that someone could resist such a violent torture. He sternly asked, "Old man Ge, why don't you tell me! Tell me clearly!"

"what!"

Old man Ge shouted, and suddenly fell to his knees, "City Master Yu! The blood spirit sect demon! Yu City master! The blood spirit sect demon!"

Guard Yang showed horror, trembling all over, and pointed at his nose, "Old man Ge, what nonsense are you talking about!"

But old man Ge has already passed out, with blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

Seeing Lu Xue's face full of astonishment, others couldn't believe it, but she has been looking for clues about the Blood Spirit Sect...

"This...what the hell is going on? Brother Lin, can we really stop him..."
