My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 100 The city died in vain

"You explored the pharmacy and found a bottle of Ghost Spirit Pill (10), a pestle, a medicine maker, a medicine cauldron, a ghost-sealing mirror, a box of thorn wood, a pack of soul-bewitching powder, and a wind-gathering banner."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text one by one and checked the detailed description.

"Ghost Spirit Pill (common consumable pill), a pill made with the unique medicine refining process of the underworld. After a ghost spirit takes it, it can temporarily condense its true body. Conversely, after a living person takes it, it can also be transformed into a soul spirit. It can only be used in the game, and the duration is 24 hours."

"Note: The conversion state can be canceled at any time."

"Medicine Pestle (Ordinary Item), made with the unique forging technique of the underworld, has the ability to crush automatically. It can crush any raw material of medicine, including ghosts and spirits. It can also be used as a material to upgrade stick-type weapons."

"Medicine Langjun (excellent), a spiritual creature born from medicinal materials, but each Medicine Langjun has different abilities. Some are good at curing diseases and some are good at poisoning people. The Medicine Langjun in your hand has the ability to find herbs and medicines. Even if the medicine is buried deep underground, it can easily find it."

"Note: If you want Yao Langjun to recognize you as your master, you must get the recognition of the King of Medicine, otherwise you will never be able to enlighten him."

Jiang Xinghuo took it out and took a look at it out of curiosity.

This so-called Medicine Man turned out to be a pet egg not much bigger than a fist.

But unfortunately he couldn't use it. He had been in the game for such a long time and had heard the name of the King of Medicine many times, but he had never even seen his shadow.

It's not worth it to go through so much trouble to find the King of Medicine for such a thing. Just let things take their course.

Jiang Xinghuo put Yao Langjun into the magic bag, and then looked at other things.

"The medicine refining cauldron (common item) is a furnace that can automatically refine medicines. It can control the fire and temperature. It is a common item for pharmacist apprentices."

"Ghost Sealing Mirror (common item), a mirror that can seal ghosts and spirits. The stronger the ghost, the shorter the sealing time. Normally, ordinary evil ghosts and resentful spirits can be sealed for about three days."

"Yin-thorn wood (ordinary item), a strange plant from the underworld. It looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually extremely poisonous. After piercing a human body, the roots will suck blood and grow rapidly until they wrap around the internal organs and spine, turning into a Yin-thorn tree."

"Musing Powder (common consumable item), a drug made by the staff of the Great Pharmacy. It is specifically targeted at various spirits and ghosts. It can make people faint when they smell it, but it has no effect on the living."

Jiang Xinghuo was not very interested in these things. Instead, it was the last Wind Gathering Banner that caught Jiang Xinghuo's attention.

"The Wind Gathering Banner (excellent item) is a magical tool that can stir up strong winds. When you shake it, sand and rocks will fly, and the sky will darken. Even ordinary people can use it without consuming mana. If you use it in conjunction with fire magic, the wind will help the fire, and the fire will use the wind's power. Even a thousand miles away, a prairie fire can be set on fire."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out the Wind Gathering Banner to take a look. It looked similar to the palm-leaf fan in Journey to the West, except that the fan was completely black and had many runes painted on it.

With a light wave, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the room. If it was waved with full strength, the whole shop would be destroyed.

"nice one……"

Jiang Xinghuo played with it for a while, then waved his hand and put away the Wind Gathering Banner.

"You searched the house again, and after making sure that nothing was left out, you quietly left the pharmacy. None of the staff in the pharmacy noticed your whereabouts."

"You left the Great Medicine House and came to the street outside. Where are you going next?"

"Should I continue wandering around in the City of the Dead? Or should I return to the world of the living with the little old man's soul?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that it would be a shame to go back like this after having come here with great difficulty, so he might as well wander around the City of the Dead to see if there were any other plots triggered.

"You chose to hang out in the City of the Dead." "But there is a difference between yin and yang, and between humans and ghosts. The vitality you exude has attracted the attention of the ghost soldiers in the City of the Dead."

"They are the guardians of the City of the Dead. Any danger will be nipped in the bud, so when they find out you are alive, they immediately rush towards you with their weapons in hand."

"Are you going to fight these evil soldiers head-on, or run away as soon as possible?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought it was a pity. He wanted to hang out in the underworld for a while longer, but he was unexpectedly targeted by these ghost soldiers. He had no choice but to control the game character to leave the City of the Dead first.

Those ghost soldiers seemed to be restrained in some way. After the text of him leaving the City of the Dead popped up, the ghost soldiers stopped chasing him.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and was unwilling to leave like this, so he found the Ghost Spirit Pill he had just obtained and chose to use it.

"You have taken the Ghost Pill."

"You have transformed into a ghost."

"You walked into the City of the Dead again, and the ghost soldiers, who had calmed down, launched a frantic attack on you again."

Even turning into a ghost is not okay?

Jiang Xinghuo had no choice this time. He thought that after turning into a ghost, he could sneak into the city.

Now it seems that those ghost soldiers must have used some means to anchor his aura, so no matter how he changes, it makes no difference to those ghost soldiers.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and found the shrine in the City of the Dead. Since it was temporarily inaccessible, he could only go back and submit the task.

"You woke up next to a shrine in the Great Temple."

"You crushed the teleportation talisman that the old man gave you. A blinding light flashed, and you appeared in the mansion again."

"You put on the invisibility cloak and found the old man in the backyard. Seeing that you came back so soon, the old man asked if there was anything else you needed."

"You took out that jar."

"The old man praised your efficiency. You broke the jar, and the soul of the young old man sealed inside slowly condensed into shape. After seeing the old man, the mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly."

"The old man is very grateful to you for helping him find his son's soul. He took out two things from under his pillow. You can choose one of them as a reward."

"Spiritual Medicine Gourd (Ordinary Consumable Item), can help you recover your physical strength three times after death. After three times, the gourd will automatically be destroyed."

"Yellow Jacket (Ordinary Item), a yellow jacket bestowed by the emperor in the inner court of the palace. It is stained with the breath of law. Wearing it can slightly resist attacks, but it is more of a symbol of status."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and directly chose the elixir gourd. He was not interested in being a relic of the past, so he decided to keep the yellow jacket for themselves.

The elixir gourd was actually what he lacked now.

It was because he had used up all the dog food he had stored in the ghost story library that he could only rely on scapegoats to repeat the exploration.

With the elixir gourd in his hand, it means he has three more chances.
