No taboos

Chapter 108: Seven Streams of Alchemy Cultivation
Fu Jingyu looked puzzled, but Old Yan and Old Lu saw something, turned away and smiled secretly.

Bai Laoyan's house was not good. There were many shabby places, and they were all nailed shut with wood. Compared with the other shacks he had in the mountains, it was not much better.

The old mountain hiker might have done it on purpose; he felt more comfortable staying in the shack.

Old Bai opened the door and the four people went in. Old Yan looked around and his expression became serious.

All kinds of strange "stuff" are hung on the beams.

Three zombie scalps with hair, and dirty blood formed hard lumps on the hair!
A dried-up ghost face flower vine.

A yellow-skinned creature the size of a wild boar, split in half.

On the cabinet by the wall, there is a large snail shell, inside which is a wrinkled "beauty's head" that has shrunk to the size of a fist!
The old mountain man has his own methods. After processing, the infection on these "materials" has become so light that it almost disappears.

These are all good things. If the craftsmen from the Extermination of Filth Division saw them, they would definitely find ways to negotiate the price with the old hermit and buy them.

Xu Yuan stared at the snail shell for a few more seconds, wondering if it was one of the "sisters" on Meiren Dam.

Bai Laoyan noticed his look and said, "Like it? Give it to you."

Xu Yuan quickly waved his hand to decline.

Bai Laoyan continued, “Why don’t you go hunt one yourself, and I’ll teach you how to tan and shrink this beauty’s head to this size.

I didn’t control it well at the time, and I have a few more wrinkles on my face. I’m planning to make another one…”

Xu Yuan said sincerely: "Thank you for your generosity, but it's really not necessary."

Bai Laoyan curled his lips and said: "Don't think this thing is useless. I heard that there is a beauty dam in your town. I know those evil women, they are chattering and making a lot of noise!

If you hang this thing around your neck, I guarantee they will all shut up and no one will dare to bother you again if you pass by next time.

Bai Laoyan lifted up his feather cloak, and there was a rustling sound on his neck. In addition to a miniature beauty's head, there were also several kinds of evil and weird parts made into "decorations"!
Each one is more bloody and terrifying than the last...

Xu Yuan nodded: "No wonder few evil spirits dare to provoke you when you walk in the mountains."

Bai Laoyan grinned proudly: "I have eleven on my neck, and Gao Guanzi has even more, a total of eighteen. If you want to learn, I can teach you this skill."

But Xu Yuan still refused: "But I am still young, and I plan to get married and continue the family line in the future. If I hang up these things of yours, I will probably say goodbye to the beautiful women of my Huang Ming in this life."

"What's so good about women?" Bai Laoyan muttered, and then said to the four people: "I will arrange a place for you to rest tonight."

He opened a side door, and behind it was not a house, but a tunnel that sloped downwards.

The tunnel had no steps and was covered in claw marks.

Xu Yuan was extremely sure that this was not dug by Bai Laoyan himself. Perhaps he had captured some monster that was good at digging holes and forced it to do hard labor to dig it out.

There are two big holes underneath.

There was no bed, but there were two iron stakes, each tied with several thick iron chains.

At the end of the chain hung a large iron hook like the one used in a butcher's shop.

There's still some unknown substance on it that hasn't been cleaned up...

The three Yans looked at each other in bewilderment: this place was definitely not the old mountain runner's "guest room", but a prison cell.

Xu Yuan also smiled bitterly and said, "You're just going to let us live here?"

The old mountain runner is still a little wary of everyone.

Bai Laoyan rubbed his hands and said, "My place is very small. Although the environment here is not very good, it is clean and warm... If you go to the villagers' homes to stay overnight, it won't be very appropriate. Xiao Xu knows this."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips and nodded: "Okay, here it is."

"I'll get some food for everyone." Bai Laoyan said, but Xu Yuan refused: "No, we can just eat dry food." You put us in a cell, so we don't dare to eat your food.

Bai Laoyan nodded: "Then go to sleep."

He was about to leave when Xu Yuan said, "Please wait a moment, Senior. There is something else we need to discuss."

Bai Laoyan stopped and the five of them sat on the ground. Xu Yuan asked, "Why didn't the Haikou Toad show up? Is it because it has a bad relationship with the other monsters?"

This is a question for Bai Laoyan.

"The Haikou Toad's skill level is slightly higher than the Ghost Temple Statue. The other monsters are indeed reluctant to interact with it, fearing that it might suddenly say something that would implicate them.

But it wouldn't be said that the relationship is bad. Why it didn't appear, I don't understand. "

Mr. Yan asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Yuan did have one: "Maybe someone helped us hold back Haikouchan."

"Who is it?" Old Yan said, "I have to thank him."

"No need to thank me. This might not be a good thing for us." Xu Yuan said, "We have to pass through the village to get to Laoyakou. We'll just stay here!"

Xu Yuan then said to Bai Laoyan, "Senior, go talk to Zhang Sanba and ask him to help watch the road outside the village tonight. If anyone passes by, come over and tell me. I will give him ten boxes of matches and ten kilograms of high-quality tobacco leaves."

Everyone was confused.

That night, Mr. Yan and Mr. Lu shared a room, and Xu Yuan and Fu Jingyu shared a room.

After eating some dry food and preparing to rest, Xu Yuan took out the "ghost temple statue" trapped in the carriage.

The evil spirit is dead.

And because it had consumed too much fire in its belly, there was no evil spirit infecting the broken statue that was now one and a half feet tall.

There are also nine snake skins on the snake pole.

All good stuff!
Both of these evil spirits were killed by Xu Yuan, so naturally they all belonged to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan asked Fu Jingyu for a fishy bun and put the snake skin in it.

He asked for it, and Fu Jingyu gave it to him.

Young Master Fu did not tell Xu Yuan that each bag cost seventy taels of silver.

If I told him that, Xu Yuan would definitely yell "Rob the money!" and return the bag. Anyway, Xu Yuan wasn't afraid of being infected.

……

In the middle of the night, when Master Fu was fast asleep, Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, unwrapped the fishy package, and ate all nine snake skins in one go.

The effect of Mr. Shen's plaster is still there, Xu Yuan activated the "Five Ding Cooking" and used all his strength to refine the snake skin and replenish it to Pi Dan!

After one night, the effect of the medicine was finally completely exhausted.

Xu Yuan refined all the snake skins into Pidan.

Xu Yuan was secretly amazed. Uncle Shen’s plaster was really amazing!
This speed is more than ten times faster than the one he used to refine Lao Ba's skin.

After this supplement, Pidan's size didn't change much, but it could already cover the whole body.

The defensive power is comparable to the snake pole itself.

If all of them were concentrated in one place, such as the chest, Xu Yuan speculated that even the bronze cannon made by the craftsmen of the Pingtian Society could try to resist it!
Moreover, as the Pi Dan was greatly strengthened, Xu Yuan's Dan cultivation level also rose to the seventh level!
