My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 203 The Taoist Priest
Now, Jiang Xinghuo has already imprisoned one evil ghost, and he needs to imprison nine more to complete the task of increasing the number of generals.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you like to go to the restoration room on the sixth floor to find out? Or would you like to explore the exhibition hall on the fifth floor first?"

"You chose to go to the fifth floor of the museum."

"You are here, on the fifth floor."

"The exhibition hall on the fifth floor seems very plain. There are only a few inconspicuous objects in the huge room."

"You have explored the fifth floor carefully but have gained nothing. You have no choice but to leave the fifth floor for the time being and explore other places."

"But just as you were about to leave, you suddenly discovered that the windows on the fifth floor faced the garden at the back."

"You are looking down at the garden from a high place and you find that the middle of the garden seems to be a little different. You can go over and take a look if you have a chance."

"But now, your first priority is to explore the sixth and seventh floors of the museum."

"You have come to the restoration room on the sixth floor."

"This is a museum where cultural relics are restored. It is no different from a museum in the living world. In a trance, you even thought you were back in the living world."

"But the person who appeared in front of you next shattered your false fantasy."

"A black iron furnace with hands and feet, carrying a few worn-out weapons, walked out from the depths of the repair room."

"You have discovered it, Taoist Tiancan."

"Tian Can Daoist, a genius blacksmith from the Shengong clan, sneaked from the gates of hell to the underworld in order to improve his blacksmithing skills. He hid in the restoration room of the museum and began to study the strange craftsmanship of the underworld."

"But everything in the underworld is evil, even the skills passed down in the underworld are no exception."

"At first, Taoist Tiancan was able to maintain his lucidity and sanity while studying underworld crafts, but as time went by, his mind became more and more muddled."

"Until today, it can no longer stay awake and only studies those strange and bizarre forging techniques. Anyone who enters this repair room will be captured by it and become its raw material for forging."

"It has been a long time since Taoist Tiancan obtained new materials. When he saw you coming in from outside, his eyes suddenly glowed with bloodshot light, as if he had seen something precious."

"That furnace-like body also began to emit dazzling flames, and countless chains flew out of the air, wrapping around you."

"You took out the Star Bite and started to resist those chains, but since there is no moon in the underworld, you can't use the Star Bite's skill of manipulating vectors and can only resist passively."

"Fortunately, the evil star bite in your hand was also forged by the Taoist Master Shengong. The familiar craftsmanship seems to have touched upon the remaining memories of the Taoist Master Tiancan."

"Your evil star bite was taken away by Taoist Tiancan and thrown into the oven on his body."

Seeing this line of game text, Jiang Xinghuo was immediately shocked. Could it be that Sha Xing Yao was destroyed by this Taoist master?

But trapped in the perspective of word games, he couldn't make a move to stop it. He could only watch his evil star Bite rolling in the furnace on the opponent's body.

Perhaps because his attention was drawn away, Taoist Tiancan did not attack Jiang Xinghuo again.

Just like that, about twenty minutes passed.

The game finally popped up a new prompt.

"Your Star Bite has been forged. The impurities contained inside have been completely refined. Both its hardness and the fluidity of its mana have been greatly improved."

"The Taoist priest Tiancan flicked the evil star back at you, and then he walked back into the repair room."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the thing out. Although the appearance had not changed much, it looked more and more ancient. The evil star swallowed the mouth and was lifelike, as if it could be resurrected at any time and choose someone to devour.

Jiang Xinghuo played with the Evil Star Bite in his hand, feeling the flow of magic power, and his heart was surprised and happy. When he used the Evil Star Bite before, there was some sluggishness when the magic power was condensed, but now there was no such feeling at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo had another idea in his mind. He controlled the game character to come to the depths of the restoration room and found Taoist Tiancan.

"You came to the side of Taoist Tiancan, who was repairing his weapon. You opened your magic bag and found the Qiankun Stick."

"When Taoist Tiancan saw the Qiankun Stick in your hand, he stopped what he was doing for the first time in his life."

"It got up and went to the corner and found another stick."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the Yellow River Lord's Hai Dingzi."

"Yellow River Lord's Sea Dingzi (rare equipment). In ancient times, in order to quell the floods in the world, the Yellow River Lord commissioned people to build thirteen Sea Dingzi to measure the depth of the water level and suppress river monsters and demons."

"When the floods in the secular world were quelled, the Yellow River disappeared, and these sea dingzi also disappeared without a trace."

"By chance, Taoist Tiancan once obtained a Hai Ding Zi and kept it with him. Now that I see the Qian Kun Stick in your hand, I recall the past."

"Now, Taoist Tiancan has no other thoughts in his mind except studying the forging process. He directly snatched the Qian weapons from your hand, threw the Hai Dingzi and Qiankun Stick into the oven, and then added some metal materials into it."

"Forging weapons..."

"please wait……"

Seeing the information prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was successful. He took out the Qiankun Stick from the magic bag just to attract the attention of Taoist Tiancan and see if he could get him to return to the furnace. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

Almost half an hour passed.

The game text prompt message popped up.

"You have obtained the Big Muddy Water Stick."

"The Big Muddy Water Stick (rare equipment) is a weapon forged by combining the two Hai Dingzi weapons of Master Huang He. It has completely transformed into a water-attributed magical weapon. The other attribute powers contained in the stick have all been refined by Taoist Tian Can."

"Special Talent: Sea-Catching and Water-Suppressing."

"Gan Hai Zhuan Shui: You can draw water from the mountains and rivers of the world for your own use, and you should also have the attribute power to suppress water-born monsters and demons."

After seeing the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo took out the newly-made [Big Muddy Water Stick]. The stick was as thick as a pebble, with exquisite water wave patterns engraved on it. It flowed slowly, and with a slight wave, water vapor would appear.

Jiang Xinghuo could even feel that the indoor air humidity increased several times in an instant.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Xinghuo gently stroked the weapon in his hand, put it into the magic bag, and then continued to advance the game.

"After Taoist Tiancan forged the Big Muddy Water Stick, he no longer paid attention to you and focused on his own work."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you plan to sneak attack it while Taoist Tiancan isn't paying attention and beat it half to death? Or do you plan to leave the restoration room immediately and pretend you didn't see it?"
