My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 294: Clues to the Cave
After seeing the prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo did not insist any further.

Instead, he went to the teahouse's niche shop to see if there was anything that could help. Unexpectedly, he actually found two props.

"Item: Power Pill."

"Consignor: Old Yellow God."

"Selling price: 300 incense sticks."

"Function: You can instantly burst out several times your own strength, which lasts for half a minute. However, after the effect of the elixir wears off, your body will feel very tired.

When Jiang Xinghuo saw that it just met his needs, he didn't think much about it and directly paid 300 incense sticks to buy the bottle of medicine.

"You have obtained, Dali Dan x 10."

"Great Strength Pill (common consumable item), a special pill made by the exile 'Old Yellow God', which has the function of temporarily increasing one's own strength, duration: half a minute."

Jiang Xinghuo put the pill away and looked at another thing.

"Item: Earthshaker."

"The consignor: Kaishan Taoist."

"Selling price: 300 incense sticks."

"Function: It can slightly shake the earth's magnetic field. If you're lucky, it might trigger a small earthquake of magnitude 3."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and felt that the price was reasonable. Even if it was of no use, he would not suffer any loss, so he simply spent the money to buy it.

"You have mastered the Earthshaker."

"Earth-shaking technique (common technique), a technique inherited from the Geomancer lineage, used by his disciples as a tool to roam the world."

Earthquakes look scary, but people with slightly slower nerves probably won’t feel a magnitude 3 tremor.

Jiang Xinghuo tried it and only felt a slight vibration. If the gourd hanging on the wall had not shaken twice, he would hardly have noticed anything unusual.

After obtaining these two things, Jiang Xinghuo returned to the hall and prepared to explore again.

"You used Dalidan."

"Your strength suddenly increased several times, and you used the Earth Shaking Technique. The entire ground shook, and the heavy stone door began to tremble..."

"But unfortunately, you still haven't pushed open this stone door."

"........."

"You failed. The stone door is still motionless. Except for the dust on it being shaken off by you, there is no other change."

"Please try again..."

Tsk tsk, it looks like today's good luck is coming to an end. Jiang Xinghuo sighed a few times in his heart, swiped his finger across the screen, and was about to start over again, but he saw new text pop up in the game.

"You have triggered the Tiger Roaring Mountain Suppression Diagram."

"Tiger Roaring Mountain Suppressing Map (rare), can instantly burst out more than ten times the strength of the body, and will not cause any damage to the body, duration: 5 minutes."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt the back of his hand getting hot. He looked down and saw a pattern of a tiger roaring to suppress the mountain.

Subsequently, new changes occurred in the text of the game.

"You successfully pushed open the stone door."

"You have cracked the mechanism here. Do you want to go in and start exploring in detail?"

This change was really beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations. He didn't expect that it would trigger the effect of the Tiger Roaring to Suppress the Mountain Map.

This talent was a reward he got after killing a Leopard Head Mountain King while exploring the Kanto map. It was a new talent ability derived from the fusion of Leopard Head Mountain King's "Big Stone Smasher" and Zhongxiao Immortal's "Strangle the Tiger to Save the Father".

Jiang Xinghuo originally wanted to activate this talent, but the initiative of the word game was very low, and he had no idea how to trigger it actively, so he had to use the Power Pill as a second choice.

Unexpectedly, the two would overlap together, which really gave him a big surprise.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could push open the stone door. Now that the door was finally opened, he naturally would not choose to refuse.

"You chose to go in and explore."

“When you walk in, you’ll find that this is a very ancient hall filled with statues of gods and goddesses of all sizes in various shapes and forms, all from different races. There are monsters, mountain goblins, and humans who “live for food”.

"You explored the temple and found that it had been abandoned for a long time and was covered with a thick layer of dust."

"But we can vaguely see signs that someone has lived here. It should be that Mr. Huang He lived here for a period of time, and it was not short."

"Where do you plan to explore first? The stove? The bookshelf? Or the fish tank or something else..."

Stove?

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment. It turned out that they were still cooking here. This was really full of life.

"You decided to check the stove first."

"You came to the dusty stove and found that it was already rusted, but a piece of paper under the kitchen knife caught your attention."

"You picked it up and saw that it was covered with oil and dust, and the content seemed to be a broken chess record."

"You have obtained the remaining chapter of the Golden Roc's Eighteen Transformations."

"Golden Roc Eighteen Transformations is a chess manual that has been circulated in the secular world for a long time and is regarded as a golden rule by many chess enthusiasts."

"Hundreds of years ago, Master Tianji visited the Exiled Land through the shrine, passed this chess manual to his descendants, and opened up a hidden cave in the Exiled Land."

"This chess manual is the code to open the small cave, where the gift from Master Tianji to the people of the Exiled Land is stored."

Ok?
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly became excited. Hundreds of years ago, someone from the secular world visited the Earth and opened up a small cave on the Earth?

This is definitely an alien relic!!
However, the game text does not explain where the small cave is hidden, and it is not known whether relevant information can be found in this hall.

Jiang Xinghuo started exploring the hall, and after a while, he found a lot of things left by Mr. Huang He.

"You have obtained: a volume of water control strategies, a method of sowing beans to make a war, a fish tank with flowing clouds, two koi species whose life and death are unknown, and a dragon-shaking whip."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't find any clues about the small cave, and he was more or less disappointed.

But the few things we have found so far look pretty good and are of fairly high quality, starting with rare-grade magical tools and props.

"The Water Control Strategy (rare technique) contains the experience and strategy of Mr. Huang He in his lifelong water control. It can automatically form a set of fast and effective water control plans in the mind according to the changes in the mountains, rivers, land veins, and water flow speed."

"Do you want to learn this technique?"

Looking at the description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment and did not choose to study as usual.

Instead, he put the things into the magic bag first. No one knew what he was planning.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the remaining things.

"The Art of Throwing Beans into Soldiers (rare technique), a Taoist secret technique circulated within the Taoist sect, has the magical effect of throwing beans to transform into a Yellow Turban Warrior."

"Do you want to learn this technique?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, took out the secret book and put it on his head. The secret book instantly turned into a ray of light, penetrated into his forehead and disappeared.
