No taboos

Chapter 6: Fire in the Belly

Of course it’s expensive!

You want to buy the life of a destiny cultivator for just a silver bean?

how could it be possible.

This is a "forced sale" that cannot be achieved under commercial law, and because the price difference is so great, it has a strong backlash against legal reforms.

It was precisely because Xu Yuan knew this very well that he accepted the money from Fa Xiu to save his life without hesitation.

Dan Xiu rushed forward without hesitation and spat twice in his palm.

The spit flew out sparks!

Two flames quickly ignited on his palms, and Dan Xiu waved his palms towards Xu Yuan!
Alchemists rely on a ball of "belly fire" to refine pills, and can also spray the "belly fire" to attack enemies.

However, this alchemy practitioner is not up to the standard, and the "fire in his belly" has not yet taken shape. He can only draw out the fire and attach it to his palm to increase its power.

Xu Yuan flew onto a huge rock next to him, and Dan Xiu followed closely behind him. He slapped his palms on the rock, leaving two charred handprints!
Dan Xiu's "fire" can naturally restrain many evil spirits. There are unknown things in the forest that have been spying in the dark. When this "fire" appears, it quickly flees away.

Xu Yuan looked down from above, suddenly took out the bamboo cage, and threw it over Dan Xiu's head: "Come on!"

The bamboo cage fell from the sky. Dan Xiu raised his head and saw a small bamboo cage for catching insects. He curled his lips and sneered, then raised his hand and slapped it.

The flames on his palm were blazing, and were about to surge up and burn the small bamboo cage to ashes.

But the bamboo cage suddenly opened, it was obviously very small, but quite elastic!
The bamboo strips stretched and the gaps between them became larger.

When originally used to catch insects, these pores were very small to prevent the insects from escaping.

Now it is used to catch people, so there is naturally no problem with larger pores.

Then the small bamboo cage instantly became the size of half a room. Dan Xiu raised his face and slapped his palm upwards. From a distance, it looked like he had voluntarily entered the bamboo cage!
call out--

The bamboo cage fell down, covering Dan Xiu inside.

Dan Xiu didn't care at all, and flames gushed out of his hands.

Bamboo strips are thin and light, and can be easily broken. Once burned by fire, they will definitely turn into ashes.

But the result was quite different from what Dan Xiu had expected. Under the "fire in his belly", the bamboo strips became like steel, getting redder and redder but not being ignited!

He stretched out his hands, but the bamboo strips did not break.

Not only that, the bamboo cage was retracted inward, and the pointed tips of the bamboo strips pierced into Dan Xiu's body from different angles inconceivably!

The smaller the cage gets, the deeper the bamboo strips penetrate!

The bamboo strips, burned red and hot by his own "belly fire", pierced into his body, burning his flesh and making it smoke, and emitting a stench of burning pig hair...

Moreover, each of these bamboo strips either pierces an acupuncture point or just cuts off a meridian.

This can't be a coincidence!

Dan Xiu was unable to move at once.

Two bamboo strips were pointed at his eyes, and four bamboo strips crossed through his mouth, so he couldn't even speak.

The seriously injured Dharma cultivator's eyes widened: "You, you, you... you are a craftsman cultivator!?"

Of course Xu Yuan is not the craftsman - his stepmother is.

When Xu Yuan was kicked out of the house by his stepmother, she had to give him something to defend himself.

Not to mention that this cage is not up to par, even the "belly fire" of a seventh-rate alchemist would not be able to burn it.

Even the "iron skin and iron bones" of a seventh-rate martial artist could be pierced by a single stab of bamboo strips.

Xu Yuan walked towards Fa Xiu, who stepped back in fear: "Don't come over here!"

At this time, the scarlet omen in the "green life" of the two people has almost completely covered the color of their original life.

Xu Yuan compared Fa Xiu and Dan Xiu repeatedly, and finally took out the skin he had shed and put Dan Xiu into it.

Xu Yuan is sixteen years old this year and is still growing.

Danxiu was taller than him and a little fatter.

Xu Yuan had to use some "family-inherited" skills to stuff it in. He learned this skill from his stepmother before the Chinese New Year. In his stepmother's hometown, there was a custom of slaughtering the New Year pig and stuffing sausages.

Anyway, in the past few years since his stepmother got married, Xu Yuan's food and drink standards have greatly improved.

Fa Xiu was horrified watching from the side - it was not because of Xu Yuan's "family craft", but because he had done many similar things, which was not uncommon in this day and age.

What he was afraid of was... that skin clearly belonged to this kid!

Can humans...shed their skin?!

I have never heard of any practitioner having such a method!
Could it be that this guy has turned into an evil spirit and is lurking in Qihetai Town?
But looking at his "lifelike" appearance, it really doesn't look like it.

"What are you doing?" Fa Xiu's voice trembled. The backlash of his spell became more and more intense, and he was extremely weak.

Xu Yuan glanced at him, pointed to the huge rock next to him and said, "Stand under that, and I'll tell you."

Faxiu subconsciously thought: I can’t go through!
This kid is going to attack me!
Although he knew that he was in a state where he probably couldn't escape, anyone between life and death would make a last-ditch effort.

Faxiu rushed in the opposite direction without hesitation—and plunged into the woods!
shhhhhh...

A dense and strange sound rang out in the woods, followed by the screams of Fa Xiu.

The snake vines finally had a good meal!
In the past, when I wanted to eat Xu Yuan, I always felt cheated because it looked like a piece of meat, but when I put it in my mouth, it turned out to be a piece of ginger.

Xu Yuan did not make the same mistake as the man with wide eyes and the burly man. He waited until the noise inside disappeared, smeared a layer of realgar powder on his body and walked into the woods.

The snake vines are extremely disgusted with this guy and use this thing to deal with us every time!

But we still have no way.

We are snakes, how can we not be afraid of realgar?

The snake vine quickly retreated into the depths of the forest, then raised its head among the trees and grass, hissing at Xu Yuan in protest.

Xu Yuan ignored them and checked. There was only a skeleton left in the forest, stained with blood.

The skin, flesh, internal organs, etc. have all been eaten by the snake vine.

There was a bag on the ground. Xu Yuan picked it up and saw that it was full of money.

A small gold ingot, about five taels.

Two silver ingots of ten taels each, and ten pieces of silver coins of various sizes, silver beans, etc.

In addition, there are dozens of copper coins.

These are all "life-saving money" made by the Dharma practitioners.

Xu Yuan took it without hesitation.

By the time Xu Yuan left the forest, the skin and the Dan Xiu inside had shrunk into a plaster.

It's like the dog-skin plaster sold by Mr. Shen next door.

However, Uncle Shen’s products are cheap and in large quantities, with a thick layer of ointment inside.

There is only a thin layer in this patch.

Xu Yuan suddenly felt that this analogy was not appropriate. This is my own skin, how can it be a dog-skin plaster?
Xu Yuan put the plaster on his belly button.

The ointment was absorbed quickly, visibly, and then Xu Yuan felt a fire rising in his stomach.

Dan Xiu’s “fire in the belly”!
Now, Xu Yuan is not only a life cultivator, but also a pill cultivator.

This layer of shed skin is not waste, it also has another use, which is "refining".

When he shed this layer of skin, Xu Yuan knew that this thing had additional uses.

However, a layer of skin can only be used once, and each layer of skin has a different function - Xu Yuan still doesn't know what the next layer of skin will do when it's shed.

At that time, Xu Yuan realized that this June bug was probably not an ordinary medicine for cultivating life!

Not only had I never heard of a fate that could make a life cultivator immune to the contamination of evil spirits, but I had never heard of a life cultivator shedding their skin...
