Yu Lie arrived at the door of the alchemy room run by the town's central government.
Before he could lead the donkey and step in, a severed hand suddenly flew out from the door of the alchemy room!
Then there was a whimpering sound, and a naked, mangy dog snatched out of the doorway and held the severed hand in its mouth.
"Cluck!" The dog started chewing on the spot, biting the severed hand, and ate with a crunching sound, his face full of joy.
The dog found Yu Lie staring at it again, and its clucking sound suddenly stopped and it let out a threatening whine.
Yu Lie calmly withdrew his gaze and did not look at the dog again.
The dog in Danfang is no ordinary dog.
It is a human-faced dog, and because its voice is similar to that of a doll, it is also called a doll dog. Yu Lie cannot fight or offend him now.
He bowed slightly towards the human-faced dog, then stepped out of the way, brushing the edge of the doorway and walked into the alchemy room.
Entering the doorway, a female Taoist with a swollen belly happened to pass by Yu Lie. She must be feeding the human-faced dog.
Yu Lie didn't even look at the dog, let alone the people in the alchemy room. The silly starling on the paper donkey's head even curled up, as if he had turned into a dead bird.
The moment Yu Lie stepped into the alchemy side room, a voice rang:
"Guest, what are you here to buy?"
On the high counter, inside the iron window as thick as a child's arm, a figure was shaking, and an old-fashioned voice came.
Yu Lie made a promise and said, "You're welcome. Come buy some medicine."
In the dark counter, a person's head shook: "Are you kidding? Who comes to the alchemy room and doesn't buy medicine? But this is just a side room, only buying and selling medicinal materials. If you want to buy medicine, you have to go to the main room, where pills are available.
It’s just a piece of cake.”
Yu Lie smiled and said directly:
"Three red foxtails, a bottle of bat urine, ten gecko tails, a bottle of zombie tooth powder...three bigu pills, two sticks of red sandalwood, and a jar of pure altar water."

The figure behind the alchemy room shook and replied: "Okay!" and there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
"Tail grass... Bigu pill, eh!"
Immediately afterwards, another surprised voice sounded: "My guest, you are about to perform a ritual ceremony. Congratulations, my guest. I wish you will ascend to immortality as soon as possible and ascend to heaven."
The medicines Yu Lie bought were very targeted, especially the bigu pills and other medicines, which indicated at first glance that he wanted to go into seclusion. The Taoist in the alchemy room, who had been doing business for a long time, guessed that Yu Lie wanted to go into seclusion to practice and complete a transformation.
The next moment, a human head suddenly poked out from the iron window. It was shriveled and its hair was thin and long.
The head stared at Yu Lie: "However, your medicinal materials lack the life-saving white bezoar. Are you sure you want to save this money?"
"Without it, for a low-ranking Taoist boy like you, it's a narrow escape. I advise you to take it easy."
White bezoar has a strong detoxifying effect. Once the intake fails, the intake can be stopped in time to save the person's life. It can also enhance the person's resistance in the process. It can be regarded as a cheap and practical drug in the Taoist stage.
Yu Lie heard what the alchemy boy said and stood in front of the counter and replied: "No, it's ready, so don't bother."
"Jie Jie!" The withered head on the counter smiled strangely and said:
"I've seen too many young and disbelieving people like you. Every time, there are people dragging their intestines, limping, and bleeding from the nine orifices... When you see this thick
Are there any bars on the windows? This is to prevent them from being desperate."
Yu Lie just smiled and did not answer the other party's words.
In fact, the Taoist boy in the alchemy room said it lightly. The other person said that he still had the strength to crawl over. He must have prepared a small amount of antidote drugs, or he was physically strong.
And for the last Taoist boys like Yu Lie, because their physical bodies have not undergone any substantial transformation, once they are poisoned while taking the food without antidote, they will definitely die!
Turning into flesh on the spot would be their most likely fate. How could they have the chance to escape from the quiet room?
Next, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the same hand.
A head flew out from behind the counter. His hair was tangled on the iron window, and his yellow teeth were holding the oil paper package and the small jar. There was nothing under his neck.
The head swayed in the air a few times, then he threw the medicine bag and the small urn into Yu Lie's arms and sang: "My guest, please go slowly and come often!"
After getting the medicinal materials, Yu Lie nodded happily and said: "Come often."
Then he stepped out of the alchemy room, leaving only the head still laughing.
Next.
Yulie buys clothes and robes on West Street, buys dry food on North Street, and sells birds on South Street. They cannot be changed to storage.
When he was ready, he walked into the quiet room of the Blackwater Town government office.
The stone walls of the official quiet room are thick and neither dry nor wet, but there is a lack of light.
The candle as thick as an arm held in Yu Lie's hand could burn for seven days and seven nights, but the quality was too poor. It should have been whale oil, but the Taoist boy who took care of the quiet room secretly replaced it with butter. It still smelled dark and smoky.
.
But Yu Lie had no choice, so he bought seven of them, enough to last him in the quiet room for more than a month.
This is because no outsiders are allowed in!
Although the government-run quiet rooms are free of charge according to the rules, the quiet rooms always need to be managed by someone, and you have to pay some incense money to use them.
If you are not filial, you will often die miserably.
Taking the transformation is not just a matter of taking the medicinal materials into the stomach. During the process, you also need to take a bath and burn incense, cleanse your mind, breathe in and out, check the medicinal materials, etc. Don't dare to be disturbed in the middle.
If you disturb them, all your efforts will be wasted. If you are lucky, you will be seriously injured. If you are unlucky, you will burp on the spot and give away your inheritance in vain.
Yu Lie didn't want an "enthusiastic" Taoist boy to knock on his door and ask him:
"Sir, would you like to renew your candle?"
The effect is also gratifying. The Taoist from the quiet room not only chose a feng shui treasured place for Yu Lie, it is breathable. It is said that the mortality rate during transformation is only 30%, and asked Yu Lie to be careful, lest he die and lower the house price.
He also thoughtfully sent something to block the door, promising that even if a high-ranking Taoist boy came, he would not be able to open the door to the quiet room immediately.
So in the quiet room, Yu Lie put aside his worries and patiently adjusted his body and mind. He first took a bath, then lit red sandalwood incense, and finally took out the "Book of Tao" and recited it several times.
When everything was ready, Yu Lie took the Bigu Pill and looked at the paper donkey aside, his eyes burning again.
There is a threshold for practicing Taoism. He has been practicing Taoism for more than a year, but he still has not crossed the threshold.
For this transformation, Yu Lie has sacrificed everything! If he fails, let alone the loan shark, he will not let him go. If he fails, he will be disabled and weak, and he will throw himself into the river.
However, Yu Lie was not afraid. He endured it for more than a year and even borrowed loan sharks, in order to increase the success rate as much as possible, succeed in one fell swoop, and get on the road!
Although he does not have the white bezoar, he bought the Shengling Pill early, which can increase the success rate of transformation and is more precious than the white bezoar!
In addition, he was lucky enough to kill a powerful wolf demon and devour it. Once he completes his transformation, he will be stronger than an ordinary Taoist boy.
And this step is the beginning of his emergence and ascension!
The fire in Yu Lie's eyes could no longer be suppressed, so he simply followed his will, picked up the paper knife, stood up from the stone altar in the quiet room, and pushed down the paper donkey.
He neatly cut open the belly of the paper donkey, took out the heart and liver of the wolf demon, and swallowed it into the canal.
But the next moment.
Yu Lie's movements froze, and his face, which had always been calm, turned pale.
I saw that the belly of the paper donkey was empty, and there was no wolf heart or lungs. At most, there was some blood, water, and minced meat.
"Oh my god, where are the huge piles of demonic organs?!!!"
Eyes dizzy.
Yu Lie was in a quiet room, his heart felt cold. He felt as if he had stood by the Blackwater River, and the mountain wind was fierce.
