My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 267: Innate Qi

"My little disciple is kneeling on the ground, begging you to help him get revenge. If you don't help him, he will have no chance to survive."

"Of course, it won't let you work in vain. After the matter is completed, everything the old man left behind will belong to you, including the old man's unique skill, Xiantian Qi."

"Are you going to accept my apprentice's request?"

Looking at the game text, Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. It was just a side job. Not only could he help it get revenge, but he could also get rewards. Why not do it?

"You accepted the young apprentice's request and came to the old escort master's house. The house was filled with incense and white lanterns were hung outside. There were many people in mourning."

"When the old escort master was alive, he was kind and generous, and he was chivalrous and righteous. Many martial artists had received his kindness. After learning that the old escort master was poisoned by his young apprentice, they all came from the city to pay their respects."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to go in like this and reveal the true identity of the eldest disciple in public, or wait until night when no one is around and then send it down to make amends to the old escort master?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, why not wait until nighttime, why bother with that, just go in and get the job done now.

"You walked into the house, came to the old escort master's spirit tablet, lit three incense sticks, and the eldest disciple also pretended to return the greeting."

"What do you want to do next?"

"You can choose to speak up yourself and reveal the wolfish face of the eldest disciple in front of all the visitors, but you are an outsider after all, and I'm afraid that what you say will not be enough to convince everyone."

"Perhaps, you can try to let the old escort master come out and explain the truth to everyone, so that the injustice done to the young apprentice can be cleared."

Seeing the prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo reacted quickly, opened the magic bag directly and found the summoning bell.

"You activated the effect of calling the soul and calling the old escort master's dead soul out from the underworld."

"After the old escort master's ghost appeared, he pointed at the murderer kneeling beside him, angrily scolded him for being ungrateful and having a wolf's heart, and told everyone everything that had happened in the past."

"And in order to save his life, the thief did not hesitate at all and put all the blame on the eldest disciple."

"When the old escort master heard what the thief said, he learned that it was his eldest disciple who killed him. He immediately became filled with murderous anger and was about to turn into a fierce ghost..."

"Are you going to intervene?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and thought that the old escort master was also unlucky, as he was ruined by his apprentice. If he turned into a fierce ghost, it would be even more tragic.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, opened the magic bag again, and found a prop.

“Soul-Calming Candle (Ordinary Consumable Item), light a candle seven inches above the corpse’s head to soothe the deceased’s soul and prevent it from becoming a vengeful ghost. Use times: 3/3.”

This prop was obtained from the wax craftsman when he was exploring Xishen City. It is just right for this occasion. (Chapter 168)
"You have lit the soul-calming candle."

"Under the influence of the candle's scent, the old escort master gradually regained consciousness, and the evil spirit on his body gradually disappeared."

"Number of uses remaining: 2/3."

"After the old escort master regained his composure, he announced in public that he was going to clean up the mess and expel the eldest disciple from the sect. He also destroyed his martial arts skills, leaving him with only half his life left. He fled in panic, and announced that the escort agency would be handed over to the young disciple to manage. In addition, you saved them today, so in order to express his gratitude, the old escort master also prepared some things for you as a reward."

"You have obtained the innate Qi."

"Xiantian Qi (rare), a traditional Chinese martial arts internal martial arts, uses breathing to mobilize the vital energy in the body, which can make the body and mind integrate into the surrounding natural environment, and is particularly sensitive to the changes in Qi." "Do you want to practice this Qigong immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and chose to study directly, and the game text changed accordingly.

"You have mastered the innate Qi."

The next moment, all the tricks of this internal Qigong and the breathing method appeared in Jiang Xinghuo's mind.

Jiang Xinghuo tried to circulate the vital energy in his body according to the method in his mind.

At first, there was no change, but as time went by, with every breath, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that the air around his body seemed to begin to 'boil', circulating through the pores of his body, inside and outside, forming air currents that were invisible to the naked eye.

"boom!"

Jiang Xinghuo tried to control this power, and suddenly a strong wind swept through the house, like a raging sea with huge waves! !
"What a powerful innate Qi..."

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but be secretly surprised. With a thought, a fire appeared in his left hand, and then he activated the innate Qi again.

In an instant, the wind helped the fire spread, and the fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind, covering the entire ground in an instant.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinghuo was well prepared. The moment the sea of ​​fire spread, he raised the fire-swallowing gourd and shook it, and all the flames on the ground were sucked in.

The "boiling" air also calmed down.

Jiang Xinghuo had a vague feeling that the art of Xiantian Qi was probably not that simple, but his own skills were too shallow to tap into its true power.

However, none of this matters now. I have already learned the innate Qi, and I will have plenty of time to study and research it in the future. It doesn't matter what I do now.

"You left the old escort master's house and continued on your way."

"You were walking on the road and met a wanderer from Yingzhou. He blocked your way with greed in his eyes."

"Some time ago, an ancient god appeared on the three islands of Yingzhou. Volcanoes erupted, tsunamis occurred one after another, and countless people were killed and injured. He almost disappeared completely from the secular world."

"The Yin-Yang Riao, a local force in Yingzhou, was unable to deal with the ancient god, so they sent their disciples to Zhongyang and Yangzhou to seek help."

"This ronin is one of them. He is considered a martial artist. His swordsmanship is pretty good. He is barely acceptable."

"This Yingzhou wanderer is very interested in the soul-summoning bell in your hand. It will be very helpful for practicing the Onmyoji's shikigami method. I hope you can give it to him."

After reading this text, Jiang Xinghuo frowned, thinking that these bastards were the same in both inside and outside the game, wanting everything they saw without considering their own abilities.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to give it the things and seek peace, or would you rather kill it and let it know why the flowers are so red?"

Is it even necessary to think about it?
Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter without any hesitation and prepared to kill the Japanese ronin.

"You used the Plum Blossom Sword Technique." (Chapter 78)
"You used the Wind and Rain Breathing Technique as your foundation, transformed your palm into a sword with one hand, and used the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, a traditional Chinese martial art..."
