No taboos

Chapter 486 Sorrowful Water
Xu Yuan was also reflecting on himself: Why was Young Master Wei the first person I thought of?

To be honest, Young Master Wei has treated me very well!

Many treasures have been sent!

Besides this ability, it is probably due to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's own abilities that this ox-horn lamp has an extremely strong ability to attract wandering spirits.

Any ghost of the third rank or lower will be unable to resist coming to this lamp upon seeing it.

However, once they come over, they may not necessarily obey the holder's orders completely.

If it is a very bad omen, it may even be a matter of holding a lamp in all things.

This is a negative impact, though not insignificant.

It's not a big deal, because when the craftsmanship is high, there will always be such drawbacks to some extent.

The second artifact was crafted using water from the River of Oblivion and the blood of a giant turtle.

However, it is a consumable craft item.

It was also of the third rank, with only three drops, contained in a very small and exquisite water bowl.

Each drop that falls can transform into a great river of "sorrowful water," completely under the control of its holder.

This "sorrowful water" can dissolve souls and metals; those below the third rank simply cannot withstand it, and will melt into the river if they come into contact with it.

But once it's poured out, it can't be taken back.

Moreover, the ability will dissipate over time, lasting for about half an hour.

Xu Yuan was already secretly planning that if this artifact was useful, he would discuss with City God Lu about getting more water from the River of Oblivion.

As for turtle blood... as long as the price is right, I'm sure there are powerful beings in the underworld willing to lend a hand and bleed the turtle in the River of Oblivion.

The third one is made from the skin of the Ten Thousand Soul Bat...

It wasn't the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls after all.

Xu Yuan was somewhat disappointed.

Instead, it was a handkerchief...

It's eerie and sinister.

With a flick of the wrist, a vast, illusory realm will be created.

The level is extremely high; even a third-rate person would be temporarily lost in it.

It's almost impossible for someone below the third tier to rise through their own efforts.

Moreover, Xu Yuan examined it carefully and found that although the handkerchief was not the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it could still continuously devour wronged souls and even had the ability to nourish souls.

The more vengeful spirits and evil ghosts it contains, the greater the power and scope of this illusion.

Xu Yuan immediately smiled.

He already felt that the "Six-Eyed Nethermoth Demon Pill" was not enough, so he immediately threw the demon pill out and put it into his handkerchief.

The three great demons, who were already unable to roam freely in the Ghost Pill, were now released into the spacious handkerchief, which delighted them so much that they roared and howled incessantly.

Lin Wanmo yawned: "Alright, I've given you everything. You can decide what to do with it."

These three crafts were extremely heavy, so Xu Yuan had to take off many of the crafts he had been carrying.

Xu Yuan tidied things up, and reluctantly had to remove the Yin-Yang Guillotine, the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and other items.

Xu Yuan secretly sensed that the weight of his craftsmanship had reached a dangerous level.

I need to improve my life cultivation level as soon as possible.

To value one's own life more.

Mr. Feng thought for a moment and decided to place some bets on Xu Yuan, saying, "Keep that Heming Wheel. If you encounter any difficulties, contact me."

Xu Yuan was surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Okay."

Mr. Feng smiled, waved to Xu Yuan, and left.

He went to the courtyard not far away and gave Xu Haoran and Zhong Die a good scolding.

The two students looked completely bewildered!

Mr. Feng was a little unhappy because his close friend's stepson was too outstanding, and in comparison, his own student was... a good-for-nothing.

Old Zheng was there too, and he didn't feel awkward at all.

Craftsmen are all somewhat eccentric, and Old Zheng only cares about the material that has been kneaded into a ball.

Even if it's broken up, he definitely won't get a share.

But Lao Zheng enjoys the process of disassembling it.

……

After the stepmother went to sleep, Xu Yuan, along with Lang Xiaoba and Ji Shuangqiu, left the government office to find Xu Miaozhi.

Xu Miaozhi had no objection to Xu Yuan's idea. During this time, the Xu family was also secretly looking for a "major shareholder" for this business, but had not found a suitable candidate.

Xu Miaozhi then asked, "It seems that you and Wei Jinyuan don't get along very well. Don't you feel awkward about cooperating with the Wei family?"

Xu Yuan laughed: "It's Wei Jinyuan who feels awkward."

Xu Yuan genuinely didn't feel uncomfortable.

As I said before, Young Master Wei has treated me well, sending me many treasures to help me successfully refine my fire and advance to the fourth rank!
In this light, it seems that Young Master Wei is indeed my lucky star.

As for the cooperation between the two parties, this "lucky star" felt uneasy... but Lord Xu didn't care at all.

If a cooperation can be reached, Wei Jinyuan's dissatisfaction will be suppressed by his own father.

Xu Miaozhi smiled and nodded, saying, "Then let's talk about it first."

"it is good."

After picking up Xu Miao, Xu Yuan instructed Lang Xiaoba: "Which inn is Young Master Wei staying at? Take me there."

Lang Xiaoba really knew where Wei Jinyuan lived.

He wasn't concerned about Wei Jinyuan; he was eyeing Nan Zhenchuan.

With Ji Shuangqiu present, Nan Zhenchuan courteously invited the three of them inside.

Wei Jinyuan was very displeased. "Did I say I was receiving guests? And you just brought them in like that?"

But Xu Yuan said, "I am here to see Uncle Xi."

Wei Jinyuan was taken aback, but since Xu Yuan wasn't looking for him, Wei Jinyuan was happy to be free and immediately left with a flick of his sleeve.

I don't want to say another word.

Uncle Xi had no choice but to step in.

Xu Miao subconsciously moved away from Uncle Xi and sat down; the old man smelled too strong.

Xu Yuan got straight to the point and explained the matter. Uncle Xi frowned and pondered, subconsciously touching his chin.

Xu Yuan promised a benefit: "If you can make this happen, I will give you a portion of... Dafu's venom."

Uncle Xi raised his eyebrows.

After returning to the capital, he immediately set about replenishing his supply of various Gu worms.

However, the Gu worms he had previously cultivated had taken decades to develop.

Each Gu worm has different abilities.

The supernatural powers of these Gu worms are Uncle Xi's "supernatural powers".

Starting from scratch, the types of Gu worms that can be selected are limited, and it is impossible to achieve the same balance of various abilities as before in the short term.

However, if one excels particularly in the area of ​​"poison," one can quickly catch up with one's previous self in terms of combat strength.

Dafu's toxicity is extremely pronounced.

The worms cultivated with this venom perfectly met Uncle Xi's requirements.

But Uncle Xi was indeed loyal to the Wei family and didn't only think of himself: "Besides the Thousand Arrow Crossbow, the master said that you can reliably supply a large amount of Ghost Mulberry Hide. Is there anything else?"

Xu Yuan dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the names of several kinds of good materials from the underworld on the table.

These were some of the less "shocking" selections Xu Yuan made from Lu Chenghuang's memorial.

Uncle Xi glanced at it and was immediately moved: "Really?"

"Nothing false!"

Uncle Xi's eyes flickered, and he had already guessed that Xu Yuan was cooperating with the City God.

Otherwise, where would all these materials from the underworld come from?

They still dare to make such a bold claim about a stable and large-scale supply?

Cooperating with Xu Yuan is essentially cooperating with the underworld.

Uncle Xi made a decision immediately and nodded slowly: "I will report to my master truthfully. Lord Xu, wait for my news."

"Very well, I shall take my leave."

Xu Yuan could already feel that his long-dormant "business law" was beginning to shake and stir.

This is a sign of promotion.

She had already persuaded Uncle Xi.

……

After Xu Yuan left, Uncle Xi did not report to the young master, but immediately went out and found a merchant in the city, where he borrowed a "harmonious wheel" from the back room.

"My lord, I have something important to report..."
