No taboos

Chapter 80 Can’t Hold It Down

The stepmother was obviously relieved to see him return safely.

Xu Yuan gave away the two pieces of jewelry he had chosen, a gold hairpin and a silver bracelet.

The stepmother was a little happy. This boy had good taste and all the styles he chose were beautiful.

Xu Yuan didn't dare to say that these two pieces of jewelry were chosen based on the ones worn by the Plum Blossom Pond Water Ghost Sisters...

"Tomorrow I will go to Qihetai with Quhuisi..."

Xu Yuan took advantage of his stepmother's good mood and just as he spoke, Lin Wanmo's eyebrows raised... But she suppressed her anger and said, "Forget it, I can't stop you."

She went into her room and took out a toy-like car.

It is half a foot long, has two wheels, but is a carriage without a horse.

"Take it."

Xu Yuan took it with a smile on his face - the moment he touched it, he suddenly felt that this tiny thing had an unbearable heaviness.

Boom!
The toy car fell straight down, and Xu Yuan was pulled to the ground with his hand pressed by the car.

The two looked at each other, and Xu Yuan forced a rather ugly smile and said, "Lin Wanmo, if you don't want me to go, you don't have to pin me to the ground like this, right?"

The stepmother quickly picked up the cart. Xu Yuan dusted himself off and stood up. The stepmother asked, "Take out all the craftsmanship and crafts you have."

Xu Yuan took them all out.

Umbrella, three-barreled musket, knife, magic crossbow, mahogany brass earrings, bamboo cage, and lifting gun.

The spear was refined into a craftsman's pill, and the bamboo cage was severely damaged.

The stepmother took a look and would never admit that she had forgotten the magic crossbow and the spear.

"There are too many things, and you can't hold them all."

The stepmother took out the bamboo cage and the magic crossbow, and then opened the umbrella. Seeing that there were indeed several holes in the umbrella, she took them out as well.

"Okay." The stepmother handed the cart back to Xu Yuan.

This time, there was no problem for Xu Yuan to hold it in his hand.

The stepmother said, "Your life has probably reached its limit. Don't blindly collect those shady crafts out there. Be careful that you get eaten by those things!"

Every piece of craftsmanship has its own weight.

If the combined weight of the artifacts exceeds the practitioner's "life weight", they will no longer be able to hold down the artifacts.

Just like Xu Yuan just now, if you can’t suppress it, you can’t pick it up.

In fact, if the total weight of the artifacts exceeds half of the practitioner's life weight, it will become somewhat "unstable".

When using craftsmanship, some of the craftsmanship will secretly "eat the owner".

Whether it's the body or the soul, take a bite quietly!
If the total weight of the crafts is very close to the weight of a life, it is possible that they will be eaten up all at once by the craftsmen.

Therefore, even a craftsman cannot use craftsmanship indefinitely, and there will always be some price to pay.

Most practitioners have only a vague idea of how much their own life weighs.

Only those who cultivate their destiny can measure the importance of their destiny.

But Xu Yuan couldn't figure it out now, and he had to be at the seventh level or above to have this ability.

Most practitioners don't have the connections to ask a seventh-rate cultivator to measure their own weight. Most of them try to lift it with craftsmanship, but can't lift it - that means they can't suppress it.

In fact, most practitioners do not need to worry about the weight of their lives, because they do not have that many crafts.

If you want to increase your "life weight", there are two ways: one is to improve your own level, and the other is... to become an official in the court.

When you become an official, your life becomes more valuable and naturally more important.

But Xu Yuan was puzzled: "The total weight of my crafts should have long exceeded more than half of my life weight, so why has it never been eaten by the owner?"

Suddenly I remembered that the last time I used the mahogany brass earrings, this artifact seemed unwilling to be taken off... Maybe it wanted to bite my ear?
Xu Yuan suddenly understood: "It's because there are no taboos." This is also one of the characteristics of this fate. Even if the weight of the craftsmanship is far more than half of Xu Yuan's life weight, he would not dare to eat it secretly even if he was drooling with greed.

The stepmother warned him again, "Be careful! If you really can't make it, just run back. This alley will always protect you."

……

At night, Xu Yuan refined the small car into an external pill.

It is easy to carry and can be used unexpectedly, but the "weight" still needs to be taken into consideration.

Alchemists can seal and refine Yin soldiers, craftsmen's creations, spells, etc. into external elixirs.

The prerequisite is that you have to have it.

If one wants to seal a spell or perform a martial arts attack, the full cooperation of the person performing the spell is required.

This newly refined "craftsman pill" is turbid and dark. You can see that there is something inside, but you can't see clearly what it is.

The Yin Dan that Xu Yuan had refined before, and Wu Haishan’s Evil Spider Dan were both like this.

Those Yin Dan were even more bizarre. If someone stared at them and wanted to see clearly what was inside, they would definitely see horrifying scenes such as zombies attacking people and evil spirits demanding their lives, and he himself would be the one being attacked and demanded his life.

Xu Yuan heard from his father that one had to reach the sixth level or above before he could condense a crystal clear external elixir.

Before this, only the golden pill was bright and brilliant, and even the inner elixir was mostly dull.

Xu Yuan's mind moved, the external pill shattered, and the car appeared in front of Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan took a look at it and said to himself with a smile, "This thing embodies all of my stepmother's wonderful ideas!"

The car automatically disassembled in an instant!
A pair of wheels rolled to Xu Yuan's feet. Xu Yuan used the fire in his belly to urge the wheels to spin and flames flowed!
It's like stepping on a pair of Hot Wheels.

The "Tengyun" and "Chengfeng" calligraphy copies that Xu Yuan had taken from Mr. Qiao were used up, and the wheels just filled the gap.

When the shaft is pulled out, it becomes a big spear.

Xu Yuan shook it twice in his hand. The weight and length were particularly comfortable. And there was something hidden inside the gun.

The remaining carriages are as useful as the previous bamboo cages, but even better!
What makes this even better is that when it is reassembled into a car, the car body is indestructible.

Xu Yuan sat in the carriage and used the fire in his belly to drive the wheels, and it became a chariot that could rush around!

One becomes three, three becomes one.

After the integration, the weight of this artifact should be reduced.

The stepmother really put a lot of thought into it.

Satisfied with putting away the new craftsman pill, Xu Yuan practiced "Five Cauldrons Cooking" for another hour. When the piece of skin in his stomach was half refined, he went to sleep.

……

When Xu Yuan woke up in the morning, he glanced at the almanac and saw the following prohibitions:
By the river, walking at night, burying, and shouting at the mountain.

The stepmother had already prepared breakfast. After he finished eating, she gave him a cloth bag and said, "I prepared some dry food for you..."

"That's not necessary," Xu Yuan said, "If you go out with the Exorcist, will you still be without food and drink?"

The stepmother kept nagging: "A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away..."

Xu Yuan quickly carried me on his back and told me to shut up.

"Ayuan." Aunt Wang's voice came from the yard. Xu Yuan came out and saw that Uncle Shen and Uncle Mao had also come.

Aunt Wang rummaged through her stomach and handed Xu Yuan something: "Take this with you."

Xu Yuan took a look and saw that it was Aunt Wang's spleen. He was shocked: "It can't be that serious..."

"Take it with you." Aunt Wang did not allow any refusal, so Xu Yuan had to take it.

　My relatives had dinner in the evening and came back late.
