My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 192: Paper Town

After counting these items, Jiang Xinghuo turned his attention to the last fragment of the Jade Girl's Joyful Divine Art.

He had received the same thing from Hong Niangzi when he was in Xishen City before.

According to the description in the game text, these fragments of the Jade Maiden's Joyful Magic Technique record all the magic techniques that every Maoshan disciple has practiced.

I wonder what kind of magic this Maoshan elder would have left behind.

"You have obtained the fragment of the Jade Girl's Joy Divine Art."

"The Jade Lady of Maoshan's magic is exquisite and profound, and the number of magic techniques is like the stars in the Milky Way. Every disciple who enters the Maoshan headquarters will choose the magic techniques and talismans to practice according to his or her own physique and needs."

"Ghost Refining Technique (Ordinary Technique), a spell for refining evil ghosts and resentful spirits. After successfully refining the ghosts, you can use spells and talismans as a medium to control the evil ghosts and resentful spirits and make them act according to your orders."

"Earth escape technique (excellent technique), the earth escape technique among the five elements escape techniques. As long as you don't disperse your vital energy, you can travel underground."

"Blood Escape Technique (Excellent Technique), a secret escape technique passed down from the Maoshan Main Altar. It uses one's own essence, blood and energy as a medium, and can instantly escape dozens of miles away. However, it is very harmful to the self. Continuous use in a short period of time will have a great impact on one's lifespan."

"Heavenly Thunder Technique (rare technique), the secret technique of thunder magic passed down in the Maoshan sect, can use seals and talismans to attract heavenly thunder and bless oneself, which is completely different from the practice of inner alchemy thunder magic."

The Jade Girl Joy Magic left behind by the Maoshan elder gave rise to a total of four Maoshan secret techniques, among which the most valuable was the Heavenly Thunder Technique.

"Do you want to practice these techniques?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn’t think too much about it. After the relevant interactive options came out, he directly turned these spells into knowledge in his mind.

"You have learned the art of refining ghosts."

"You have learned the art of escaping underground."

"You have learned the blood escape technique."

"You have learned the Heavenly Thunder Technique."

Jiang Xinghuo closed his eyes and meditated. The key points of each spell quickly flowed through his mind and became something unique to him.

"Heavenly Thunder Technique..."

Jiang Xinghuo muttered to himself, and a small talisman intertwined with lightning flashed across his palm, turning into a dazzling white lightning, condensing on his fingertips.

Different from the Five Thunder Method he practiced before, the Five Thunder Method stimulates the aura of the internal organs and integrates them with each other, thereby unleashing different [Guishui Thunder] and [Jianggong Thunder].

The power of thunder magic is also closely related to one's own cultivation. The longer the time spent practicing inner elixir, the greater the power it can exert.

The Heavenly Thunder Art does not require such trouble at all. You only need to condense a thunder seed in your body and then activate it with magic power.

He has not received the ordination from the Maoshan Sect yet, so logically speaking he is unable to use the Heavenly Thunder Art.

But he inherited the thunder seed from the Maoshan elder, so he didn't need to start from scratch. He could completely rely on the magic power in his body to draw out the power of the thunder seed.

After counting all the harvest, Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. The mission line regarding the Maoshan elders was finally over.

Moreover, he also cracked the secret of the tomb in Guandong City, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain these things.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Looking at the new game text popping up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to go back to Maoshan first to see if the sect master's retreat had ended.

If the other party hasn't come out yet, there's no need to waste time on Maoshan. You can explore other places first, such as the paper town.

At that time, Gui Zhuang left him the map of the paper town, saying that there were some things there that might interest him, and he could go and explore it if he had time. After making up his mind, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and came to the shrine of the Great Sacrifice Temple. Through the teleportation function, he returned to the Maoshan Sect Altar.

However, to his disappointment, the leader of Maoshan has not yet come out of seclusion, and the subsequent plot will probably not be triggered in a short time.

Jiang Xinghuo had no choice but to return to Guandong City.

Mingzhi Town is under the jurisdiction of Guandong City. It would save a lot of time if we start from here.

"You have chosen, go to the Paper Town."

"The journey is ongoing..."

"Please wait……"

"You encounter a group of bandits from Guandong who are blocking your way. They sit in the middle of the road with their arms and legs spread out, asking you to take out all the valuables on you. If you dare to say no, they will skin you alive."

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to keep quiet, give some alms, and get rid of them?"

"It's better to choose to fight head-on. It happens to be the thunderstorm season now. The sky is covered with dark clouds, which will be a great help for you to perform thunder magic."

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that there was no peace at all, and he would encounter robbers while traveling, which was too boring. The key point was that it was impossible to get anything useful from these bandits' beards. Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also easy to attract the attention of evil spirits.

Forget it, let’s just kill them.

"You have already made up your mind to send all these highway robbers back to their grandmother's house."

"You used the Crimson Palace Thunder."

"A bright flash of lightning flashed across the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled, and it seemed that something was brewing."

"Those Guandong bearded men are asking you to hurry up, or they will get soaked when it rains."

"You waved your right hand, causing the thunder to fall from the sky."

"The mighty purple-white lightning, like a great river, poured down from the sky, instantly engulfing everyone present, including you, the caster."

"Note: When using the Crimson Palace Thunder during a thunderstorm, although it can gain a power bonus, it can also easily backfire and cause damage to the body, causing the body to be tempered by thunder."

"You killed Guandong Huzi, incense +30."

"You killed Guandong Huzi, incense +30."

"Your incense, +30, +30, +30, +30..."

"You have used the dog food, and your strength has been restored. Do you want to touch the bodies of those Guandong bearded men?"

"You chose to go forward and touch the corpse."

"You endured your nausea and began to search among the charred bodies. After some exploration, you found a flying fish boat."

"The Flying Fish Boat (common item) is made of fir wood from the Greater Khingan Range. It does not burn when exposed to fire or rot when exposed to water. It does not require any special treatment and can travel very fast in the water, hence the name Flying Fish Boat."

"Pack your things and continue on your way. Without the bandits blocking your way, the rest of the journey will be much smoother."

"At dusk, you have arrived outside the Dark Paper Town, but what appears before you is a huge lake."

"You can see a stone tablet standing in the bushes next to it, with three big red characters engraved on it: [Paper Town of the Underworld]."
