Shocking the Whole Internet! You Are Not a Psychologist at All!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Pill Refinement, Fiendish Ambush

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The old man was 100% certain that Chen Yu was not a psychologist.

To be able to list out these treasured medicinal herbs used to refine pills, what’s the point of hiding his true identity?

None of these stall owners in Yunling Street’s Ghost Market were simple characters.

The fat stall owner Chen Yu had previously come into contact with appeared harmless, but he was a truly skilled grave robber in his early years.

He only retired after he got married and had children.

This old man had been dealing with traditional herbal medicine for decades and could tell at a glance what anyone would do with their order of herbs.

“Sir, do you not have the herbs I need?”

Chen Yu asked.

“I do.”

Since Chen Yu was adamant about hiding his identity, the old man decided not to expose him for the time being.

He wanted to see what this person would do next.

“I do have them, but the herbs you want are all rare treasures in the world.”

“I can’t give you the exact age of the herbs you want.”

“While I have this hundred-year-old ginseng, 1 can only get you a sixty-year-old Fire Lingzhi.”

“The Bloodwind Vine might not be in perfect condition too.”

“The Intersex Knotweeds are even younger, only thirty-five years old.”

Chen Yu was counting his lucky stars to have encountered someone with all the ingredients he needed.

Having them would be better than disregarding them due to his strict requirements.

It was better to let fate take its course.

Seeing Chen Yu readily agree, the old man asked him to wait a moment.

He wasn’t worried Chen Yu would take away his herbs lying around his stall.

He also didn’t call for someone to help look after his stall.

The medicinal herbs that Chen Yu needed were indeed used to refine pills.

According to the records of Heavenly Secrets Strategy, his future breakthrough in cultivation would only be more dangerous than ever.

Chen Yu could help others solve their problems and guide them in the right direction through his livestream, enabling him to obtain merit and luck continuously.

It would be up to Chen Yu’s abilities to turn these merits and luck into his own strength and use this as an opportunity to break through his limit.

Last time, he broke through from the Aura Refining Stage to the Foundation Stage after obtaining a sliver of opportunity and setting up the Heavenly Cycle Spirit Gathering Array.

This was why he could firmly lock the spiritual energy around his body and successfully break his limits in one go.

Chen Yu was now aiming to break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Stage.

He would be doomed if he wasn’t careful.

Yunling Street’s Ghost Market was indeed something else.

Chen Yu waited about 20 minutes, and no one stole anything from this stall.

After another ten minutes, the old man finally returned with a black travel bag in his hand.

As if it were some kind of illegal business deal, Chen Yu leaned over to take a look.

Pulling open the zipper revealed the various medicinal herbs Chen Yu needed.

“I’ve always been honest in my business.”

“Their actual age is exactly the same as what I just said.”

“Including the hundred-year-old ginseng, these herbs amount to 880,000 yuan.”

Chen Yu pursed his lips.

Dealing with traditional herbs was sure to be a lucrative business.

A large pharmacy might not even be able to earn 880,000 yuan a month.

Despite complaining, Chen Yu quickly swiped his card.

Perhaps because Chen Yu paid so readily, the old man gave him a free gift.

It was a black leather travel bag that was suited to carrying medicinal herbs.

The Heavenly Secrets Strategy was profound and contained countless mystic arts.

There was naturally no shortage of methods to refine cultivation pills.

After returning to his shop, Chen Yu locked up.

He carried his things and quickly went up to the second floor.

In the corner of the second floor was the cauldron that Chen Yu had obtained from Wang Dequan.

A tripod cauldron was a spiritual item.

Although it wasn’t as effective as a pill furnace when used to refine pills, the innate spiritual energy that came with the cauldron had its own unique effect.

The medicinal properties of those herbs would be able to be maintained longer by using this cauldron.

He quickly got ready, placing the cauldron in the middle of his shop’s second floor.

Chen Yu carefully took the medicinal herbs from the leather bag and placed them into the cauldron.

The Heavenly Secrets Strategy provided many alchemy methods, so Chen Yu chose the fastest and most convenient one.

Heating and refining the pills with a fire mystic art would eliminate the need for water and could quickly heat up the cauldron.

This mystic art would increase the internal temperature of the cauldron quickly, enabling the user to bake their medicinal herbs until they were completely dry.

Later, the medicinal herbs inside would slowly melt with the continuous injection of spiritual energy.

After that, it was similar to winemaking: extracting the essence and removing the dregs of the medical herbs.

Finally, it would be condensed into a pill.

It looked simple, but the room for mistakes was huge.

One wrong step would mean all the medicinal herbs would be wasted, or it would cause the cauldron to explode.

Out of caution, Chen Yu repeatedly reviewed the instructions provided by the Heavenly Secrets Strategy.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and placed his hands under the handles of the cauldron.

He started injecting spiritual energy into it bit by bit.

After twenty minutes, his spiritual energy had heated the cauldron until its entire body was red.

Chen Yu removed his hand and emptied his mind, as the next step was to refine the pills.

Very soon, Chen Yu entered a state of emptiness in his sea of consciousness, a state of selflessness where his heart held no emotion.

He focused on refining the pills.

“Who dares ambush me!”

When the pill refinement was at the final step, Chen Yu suddenly jumped up.

His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings as he retracted the spiritual energy that he had injected into his cauldron.

The second floor was empty, and not a single person was around.

Just a moment ago, a strange, cold energy sneakily attacked Chen Yu without warning.

If not for Chen Yu’s timely response…

He would have probably been hit.

He shouted a few more times, but the ambusher did not appear.

Chen Yu activated his spiritual senses, quickly spreading and enveloping his shop.

His spiritual energy completely shrouded the first and second floors.

“There’s no human aura. What the hell?”

Chen Yu was confused.

No one was on his shop’s first and second floors, so where did this eerie energy come from?

Could it be that thing?

The next moment, Chen Yu swiftly reached his hand into his pocket.

He took out the Fiend Suppressing Pearl he had kept in his pocket.

A black aura rose around the previously quiet Fiend Suppression Pearl.

Chen Yu released his spiritual sense once again, penetrated the malicious aura, and entered the Fiendish Suppression Pearl.

“What a strong aura of resentment!”

A few breaths later, Chen Yu was absolutely shocked.

There was a wisp of soul in this Fiend Suppressing Pearl.

Moreover, it was an extremely ferocious and evil soul.

Realization dawned on Chen Yu. That cold and strange energy wasn’t trying to attack him.

It was likely that this soul wanted to take advantage of Chen Yu’s blank state of mind to sneakily possess his body.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu’s face began to darken.

Since he obtained the Heaven Secret Strategy inheritance, Chen Yu has had a cultivation speed similar to cheating.

Chen Yu was confident that very few people could match him in this era of sparse spiritual energy.

What kind of existence was this lone soul hiding in the Fiend Suppressing Pearl?

How could it prevent Chen Yu from sensing its sneak attack at the first moment?

When Chen Yu’s spiritual senses entered the Fiend Suppressing Pearl, it was as if he had entered the netherworld.

Other than the cold, there was endless resentment.

“Don’t even think about possessing me! I will refine you first!”

Chen Yu had a plan in mind.

He tied the red string threaded through the Fiend Suppressing Pearl to a nail on the wall.

He then took out a folding table from his storage room on the first floor.

He quickly found some yellow paper, cinnabar, and a brush and began drawing something.

Along with Chen Yu’s incantation, a talisman was completed.

Sensing the danger, the Fiend Suppressing Pearl suddenly started to shake.

“It’s too late to be afraid.”

Chen Yu said this with a sinister smile..
