My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 230 Entering the River
This behavior also confirmed Jiang Xinghuo's guess that the essence behind shared live broadcasts is actually an evil technique of buying lives and borrowing longevity.

However, the method used by the other party was very secretive and did not directly plunder other people's lifespans.

Instead, they would first absorb the essence, energy and spirit from the other person's body, and when the person becomes weak to a certain degree, they would take away the other person's life.

This will neither attract the attention of others nor cause trouble to yourself. It will just be regarded as an onset of progeria.

It is precisely because of this that the Soul-Soothing Nail that Jiang Xinghuo integrated into his body did not produce the desired effect.

However, this method can only be used on ordinary people. If it were someone with some skills, they would be able to quickly notice that something is wrong.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the bank information on his mobile phone and sent his guess and verification to Lin Tianshou.

As the person in charge of a special department, Lin Tianshou can do some things much more conveniently than himself.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo returned to the folk shop and, as usual, hung a sign outside saying it was temporarily closed and prepared to start today's game.

It's not that he's lazy and doesn't work, it's just that business is too good and the supply of goods can't keep up. Some of the items he collected in his early years have been sold out in the past two months, and he has to wait another two days for new products.

This time, he specially bought some special products from Xiangxi. They are all folk items representing the local ethnic minorities and local culture. They will be on the shelves almost tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, before starting the game, Jiang Xinghuo put the mechanical capsule on his body into a sealed box.

He was not worried about being discovered by the other party, but he was worried about alerting the mastermind behind the scenes. It would be better to be as careful as possible before this matter was resolved.

Jiang Xinghuo put the mechanical capsule away, then took out his mobile phone with confidence and started today's game.

"You have been training hard in the training ground all night. Your spear and boxing skills have improved greatly, and your proficiency has also been improved accordingly."

"The head of the martial arts hall was very pleased to see your diligence and wanted to give you something."

"Are you willing to accept the gift from the martial arts master?"

After Jiang Xinghuo saw the game text, he thought that he had good luck today and had a good start. He received the reward from the martial arts gym owner right at the start.

"You choose to accept the gift from the gym master."

"The head of the martial arts hall turned around and went back to his room. When he came out again, he had an ancient thread-bound book in his hand."

"You have obtained the essence of the Great Pear Blossom Spear Manual."

"The essence of the Great Pear Blossom Spear Manual (rare skill), the eight hundred year old pear blossom spear, unrivaled in all aspects, this is the true unique skill of the Liuhe spear, it has always been passed down only to disciples, there is no one in the world who can match it."

"Although you have only joined Liuhe Hall for a short time, the head of the martial arts hall has seen all your actions."

"Whether it's his talent for martial arts, his character, or his loyalty, he has been recognized by the martial arts master."

"It has already regarded you as its successor, and now it is passing on the Great Pear Blossom Spear to you, hoping that you can gain some insights from it and help it kill the White Water River God as much as possible."

"Do you want to practice this secret manual of the Great Pear Blossom Spear?"

Seeing the game text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo chose to practice without hesitation. There was no reason for him to miss out on such a unique skill that was delivered to his doorstep.

"You have learned the Great Pear Blossom Spear."

"Your marksmanship proficiency has improved."

"The martial arts master was surprised but also very happy to see that you have understood so quickly. The unique skills he has practiced throughout his life have finally found a true successor."

"At this time, the disciple sent by the martial arts hall master to follow came back and said that the poison in the White Water River God's body had already taken effect, and it could clearly hear the roar coming from the White Water River." "After hearing this, the martial arts hall master was overjoyed and immediately led his disciples to the White Water River. He wanted to take this opportunity to kill the White Water River God completely. Do you want to go with him?"

Two options, yes or no.

Jiang Xinghuo had already prepared himself mentally. When the interactive option came out, he chose to follow without any hesitation.

Whether it was for the inheritance of the dragon-raising technique or to complete General Zeng's mission, he had no reason not to go.

"You have arrived, Whitewater River."

"When you arrived at Baishui River, the martial arts master had already started fighting with two hideous monsters."

"You triggered the innate effect of Tathagatagarbha and saw the true identities of those two monsters."

"Baojiang Tong is a demon with 200 years of cultivation. He has the ability to swallow rivers and drink seas. He can temporarily enhance his cultivation and strength by drinking the water from rivers."

"The Big Water Ghost, a demon with 150 years of experience, has the ability to replace the dead with the lives of others. He can transfer the damage he has suffered to other people through his unique innate ability."

"The martial arts master was extremely brave. He fought one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. His sharp edge was like flying pear blossoms, and he quickly defeated the two evil monsters."

"Are you going to intervene?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought in his heart that if he just killed them, his plan would fail. He was still counting on using them to make up the numbers.

"You chose to stop it."

"You used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique."

"You saved Bao Jiang Tong and the big water ghost from the gun of the martial arts master, but before they could come to their senses, you used the water mine method from the Five Thunders Orthodox Method."

"Water and Thunder Method (a rare technique) is mainly used to cause rain by thunder, relieve drought, eliminate dragons, poisonous snakes, evil mirages, and monsters, and to raise wind and clouds. It is a method of dealing with matters in the Water Palace. It is easy to perform and report later."

"Water mines are the nemesis of water monsters. Before Bao Jiangtong and the big water ghost could react, they were annihilated by two dragon-shaped lightnings. They were almost killed and had no power to fight back."

"You took out the Crane Boy's gourd."

"You have suppressed it, hold Jiang Tong."

"You have suppressed it, great water ghost."

"Current quantity: 5/10."

Jiang Xinghuo was very happy when he saw the prompt in the game text information. Now he had completed half of the quota. If he was lucky, he might be able to gather all the evil spirits required for the task in the Baishui River map.

"You put away the Crane Boy's gourd."

"Without the obstruction of the big water ghost and the river-holding boy, the martial arts hall master quickly cleared out the corpse-retrieving people around him, and then jumped into the Baishui River."

"Do you want to follow?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and chose yes directly. Now things had come to this point, if he backed down at the critical moment, all his efforts would be in vain.

"You leaped into the White Water River. The Suicune's cloak concealed your figure. You were like a swimming fish, weaving in and out of the turbulent water at an incredibly fast speed."

"Those kappas can't find you at all."
