Must Urinate

Chapter 40: It Has to Be Pee

Upon hearing this, Shi Yue frowned and broke out in a cold sweat. He truly hadn't considered this problem.

He had used thousands of pounds of diluted urine to treat the Blackening Disease. Even diluted, it required hundreds of pounds of urine. In just a few days, it was impossible for him to store that much.

"No one should ask, right?" Shi Yue said uncertainly.

"Should? Heh heh, what if they do? How will you answer? Especially your two grand-shizus. Judging by their questions today, they seem to have investigated your recent whereabouts. What will you say when they ask?" Xiaoyaozi's voice was full of mockery.

Hearing this, Shi Yue's heart tightened, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.

That's right! If his grand-shizus asked about this, how should he answer?

Perhaps he could say he accidentally obtained the formula for Urine-Inducing Powder and used it to induce urination? But even with the powder, he couldn't store hundreds of pounds of urine in a few days.

For a moment, several reasons flashed through Shi Yue's mind, but none of them could withstand scrutiny.

Shi Yue's eyes darted around, and he spoke, "Senior Xiaoyaozi, since you've thought of this problem, you must have a solution, right? Tell me! How many Spirit Stones?"

"Heh heh, twenty Spirit Stones, and I can guarantee that even your two grand-shizus won't suspect you after hearing it," Xiaoyaozi said proudly.

"Twenty Spirit Stones just to make up a reason? Don't you think that's too much? Ten at most," Shi Yue countered, raising an eyebrow.

"Ten it is. Give me the Spirit Stones first," Xiaoyaozi readily agreed.

Shi Yue hesitated for a moment, then infused Magical Power into the Heaven Controlling Bead and entered the Palm Heaven Space.

He took out ten Spirit Stones and, from a distance, tossed them into the stone house within the Palm Heaven Space.

"Hurry up and tell me! What's the reason?" Shi Yue urged.

"Heh heh, it's simple. You can say that you weren't completely clear before due to nervousness. Besides the urine of virgin boys and girls, the urine of Spirit Beasts can also cure the Blackening Disease. However, to make this lie believable, you'll need to buy a larger Spirit Beast," Xiaoyaozi chuckled and suggested.

"Spirit Beast urine can also work? Are you sure? If my grand-shizus use Spirit Beast urine to water the Spirit Herbs with the Blackening Disease and it doesn't work, I'll be in trouble," Shi Yue said with a frown.

"Don't worry! It works just the same. I didn't mention it before because you didn't have any large Spirit Beasts," Xiaoyaozi replied.

Shi Yue's expression softened. Then, he seemed to remember something and asked, "I don't have that many Spirit Stones on me right now. I probably can't afford to buy a large Spirit Beast. If I exchange Contribution Points for a Spirit Beast within the sect, it might be discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

"Do you need me to teach you this? Don't you have over a thousand Contribution Points? You can exchange them for a few hundred-year-old Spirit Herbs, right? Sell the Spirit Herbs in the market, and you'll have Spirit Stones!" Xiaoyaozi's voice was filled with disdain.

Shi Yue didn't mind Xiaoyaozi's tone. After a moment of thought, he asked, "One last question. Can a large Spirit Beast produce hundreds of pounds of urine in a few days?"

"Are you really that foolish, Shi kid? Don't you have Urine-Inducing Powder? Spirit Beasts can also be induced to urinate with it. Do you want me to teach you how to fabricate the origin of the Urine-Inducing Powder?" Xiaoyaozi said, somewhat annoyed.

"Yes," Shi Yue said very seriously after thinking about it.

He wasn't good at lying, but this lie was unavoidable. It concerned the secret of the Heaven Controlling Bead, and Shi Yue had to be extremely cautious. With his experience, his fabricated lies might not be able to fool two grand-shizus who had lived for hundreds of years. He might as well let Xiaoyaozi help him create a convincing one. Better safe than sorry. Since Shi Yue was paying, he might as well get his money's worth.

"I'm going to be so angry I die. You can say you bought it at a small stall, or you got it from someone else, or you saw it in an ancient book in the Scripture Repository, or even that your parents left it for you. Are these four reasons enough?"

"Enough, enough," Shi Yue nodded.

"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get going. Oh, and as a kind reminder, when you exchange for Spirit Herbs, choose common ones that are easy to sell and won't attract suspicion," Xiaoyaozi advised.

"Thank you," Shi Yue said gratefully. He tucked the Heaven Controlling Bead into his embrace and quickly walked out of the courtyard, flying towards the Deacon Hall on his artifact.

Upon arriving at the Deacon Hall, Shi Yue headed straight for the third floor.

Dozens of Great Void Sect disciples were currently exchanging items.

"Brother, how many Contribution Points is a fifty-year-old Fire Sun Ginseng?" Shi Yue's gaze swept over the area, and he quickly walked to an empty counter, asking the deacon disciple behind it in a low voice.

"Seventy Contribution Points. How many do you need, Junior Brother?" the deacon disciple asked with a smile.

"Hmm, I want ten stalks," Shi Yue said after a moment of consideration.

"Alright, Junior Brother, please wait a moment." The deacon disciple's expression brightened upon hearing this. He turned and walked towards the shelves behind him.

"Not bad, a teachable child," Xiaoyaozi's voice sounded in Shi Yue's mind.

Shi Yue smiled slightly and didn't reply.

On his way here, Shi Yue had already considered it. Since his goal was to convert Contribution Points into Spirit Stones, buying ten fifty-year-old Spirit Herbs was safer.

Hundred-year-old Spirit Herbs could be used to refine pills for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. With his fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivation, exchanging for two hundred-year-old Spirit Herbs would not only attract attention but also potentially invite covetous glances from thieves when selling them. It was safer to exchange for younger Spirit Herbs.

He was currently learning alchemy, so refining fifty-year-old Spirit Herbs wouldn't raise any suspicion.

While Shi Yue was contemplating, the deacon disciple placed ten red wooden boxes in front of him.

Shi Yue opened the boxes one by one and found that each contained a red ginseng, about a foot long, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Shi Yue nodded in satisfaction, promptly transferred seven hundred Contribution Points to the deacon disciple, and left with the ten Fire Sun Ginsengs.

After leaving the Deacon Hall, Shi Yue flew towards Great Void Valley on his artifact.

About fifteen minutes later, Shi Yue landed in a small grove outside Great Void Valley.

He changed into casual clothes and put away all items that identified him as a Great Void Sect disciple, making him look like an ordinary cultivator before heading to the market.

Shi Yue strolled along the street, his eyes quickly scanning the shops on both sides.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Yue stopped. He glanced left and right, confirmed no one was paying attention to him, and then stepped into a small shop with a plaque hanging at the entrance that read "Li's Sundries."

The shop was not large, and the shelves were filled with a variety of items, including herbs, ores, pills, and Magic Tools for cultivation.

There were no customers in the shop at the moment, making it seem rather deserted.
