My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 228: Zongrenfu, Dragon Raising Technique

Looking at the game text popping up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo quickly made a decision. He chose to stay in the sanatorium.

Of course, it’s not that Jiang Xinghuo has any evil taste and wants to deliberately lure people to come and die.

He wanted to wait until his cultivation became stronger before going through the secret room under the sanatorium to find the old white ape.

As a living fossil that has lived for thousands of years, it must know many secrets of the secular world. It's a pity that it is not strong enough now and cannot keep its consciousness for a long time.

"You chose to keep this nursing home."

"Now, the mirror has returned to its original state, and the fragmented lines are spreading like a spider web."

"People who don't know the inside story would never imagine that the underground secret room is inside this mirror."

"Where are you going to explore next?"

"Will you choose to continue staying in the sanatorium? Or will you choose to return to Liuhe Martial Arts School? Or will you choose to go somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo considered the three options in his mind. He had almost explored the sanatorium thoroughly, so there was no point in staying here any longer.

If I choose to return to Liuhe Martial Arts Hall, there will probably be no subsequent plot, and I can only wait to go to Baishui River tomorrow.

Then it's obvious which one to choose.

"You choose to go somewhere else."

"After you left the sanatorium, you came to Long Tongue Street in the north of the city."

"This place is full of gossipy ghosts, talking nonsense everywhere, scolding the wandering ghosts on the street, gossiping about other people's affairs, and I don't know where all the nonsense comes from."

"You walked around the street and found almost no valuable clues except for listening to people's nonsense."

"But just as you were about to leave, you suddenly saw a drunken gossiper on the street, mocking the Baishui River God for being a scabby snake."

"The White Water River God has been rampant in Dragon City for many years. His reputation is well-known and few people dare to provoke him."

"So after hearing what the gossip said, many people laughed at her for not knowing how to live or die. She didn't know that the mouth can cause trouble, and she dared to ridicule anyone."

"The gossiper couldn't stand it. She got furious and started to shout under the influence of alcohol, saying that she had seen the true form of the White Water River God with her own eyes. It was a skinny snake covered with sores."

"But the little ghosts nearby burst into laughter when they heard it. They all thought that the gossip was just talking nonsense. No one believed her words at all. They just thought it was a joke and forgot about it after listening to it."

"You have triggered the Seven Apertures Heart."

"Everyone else thought that the gossip was lying, but because of your seven-aperture exquisite mind, you were able to hear some clues from her words. It seems that she was not lying."

A heart with seven orifices?
Seeing the game text appearing on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo slapped his forehead and remembered the origin of this prop.

That was when he had just entered the game. He met a coroner in the sewer of Longcheng, who gave him a heart with seven orifices.

However, Jiang Xinghuo remembered that this seven-aperture exquisite heart was a counterfeit product developed by the coroner. It did not have the magical powers of a real exquisite heart. It only brought him the magical physical ability of photographic memory.

Is it possible to distinguish the truth from falsehood?
But no matter what, useful things are good things, just like the old saying goes, no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

"At this time, the gossiper also felt a little embarrassed, so she said "I don't believe it" and left in a hurry."

"Do you want to catch up with her and ask the gossipy woman about the past of the White Water River God?"

"You chose to follow her." "You followed the gossip woman through the streets and alleys until you came to a quiet and deserted alley. This was a perfect place for you to start questioning."

"You stepped forward to stop the gossiper. Seeing your aggressiveness, she thought you were seeking revenge and attacked you directly."

"But unfortunately, it was no match for you. Not only did it fail to hurt you, but you pulled a large section of its tongue off."

"You have obtained the severed tongue of the gossip woman."

"The severed tongue of the gossip woman (common item). The organ material dropped by the gossip woman can be used as the material for refining rope-lock weapons."

"However, you can also sell it to chefs or alchemists. They like this kind of raw material very much."

"These gossipers have been telling lies for years, so their tongues have become extremely resilient. They are good raw materials for hot pot or refining pills."

"The gossip girl curled up on the ground, covering her tongue, begging for mercy with a terrified look on her face, fearing that you would beat her to death."

"You took the gossip to a quiet place and then questioned it in a very friendly way."

"The gossip girl dared not hide anything and told you everything you wanted to know without reservation."

"You have obtained the old secrets about the White Water River God. Although the gossip woman's words are full of water, they do hide a lot of secrets."

"When the gossip girl first came to Dragon City, she was unfamiliar with the place. When she had nothing to do, she wandered around the Baishui River. She happened to see the Baishui River God casting a spell and taking over the body of the dragon."

"From then on, the underworld lost a scabby snake, but gained a white water river god."

"For so many years, the gossiper has kept this matter in her heart, fearing that it would bring her own death. I didn't expect that today, under the influence of alcohol, she would spread this secret."

"Fortunately, no one believed it, but to be on the safe side, it decided to leave Dragon City overnight. I hope you can spare its life."

"You learned this information from the gossip woman. Combined with your past experiences, this is very valuable information."

"You have obtained the clue of dragon-raising technique."

Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat surprised when he saw the text. This also confirmed his previous guess that there was a close connection between the Baishui River God and the dragon-raising technique.

Perhaps, the Baishui River God used the secret method of dragon-raising to take over the body of the dragon, which enabled him to achieve a leap forward in his life level.

"You have triggered the Golden Casket Collection of Books."

"You want to know about the 'dragon-raising technique'."

"Keyword automatic recognition..."

"Please wait……"

"Keywords found..."

"You have found relevant content about 'dragon-raising techniques' in the ancient documents stored in the Golden Box, and I am reading it for you..."

"Content reading completed."

"The Dragon Raising Technique is originally a secret technique of the royal family, circulated in the clan house. Only the royal bloodline can practice it. Through various methods, it can gather the luck of heaven and earth. When it is practiced to perfection, it can even merge with the dragon veins of mountains and rivers, and achieve immortality..."
