My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 42 The remains of the Nanyang pharmacist

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the summoning magic card in his hand and put it aside without choosing to use it directly.

Because he didn't know whether the summoned magical creatures would have an impact on the surrounding environment.

So it’s better to wait until night and find an empty and deserted place before summoning.

After putting down the summoning card, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the unicorn wand again.

"Unicorn Wand (rare equipment), a wand made of acacia wood, about twelve inches long, with a unicorn horn as the core. It allows the caster to cast the most stable spells, without any fluctuations or blockages. Moreover, the unicorn wand is the most loyal of all wands, usually firmly attached to the owner. Within a range of twenty yards, the owner can control the wand at will."

"Special effect: The Unicorn Wand has the function of automatic charging. It will actively absorb the free magic power between heaven and earth. When the magic power is full, it can release the forbidden spell 'Vulcan Storm' without consumption. Current charging progress: 70%."

Seeing the introduction about the Unicorn Wand, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little scared, fortunately the wand's progress was not full.

Otherwise, if the Headless Knight cast a forbidden spell on him, he would have no way to resist it and could only use the "Phoenix Feather" to resurrect on the spot.

"What a good thing..."

Jiang Xinghuo chanted a spell and gently waved his wand. A lightning arrow quickly condensed. A careful sense showed that there was almost no consumption of mana.

Finally, all that was left was the scroll containing the magic spell.

Jiang Xinghuo tore open the scroll, and white light bloomed like wind and snow, and one obscure magic spell after another was imprinted in his mind.

“Freezing spell (excellent spell), waving the wand to release freezing air in the specified direction, which can cause damage and slow down enemies within a certain range. It can also condense an ice wall to block and rebound enemy attacks.”

Jiang Xinghuo held the magic wand and recited the obscure spell in his mind. The tip of the magic wand immediately glowed white and a bone-chilling chill surged out.

The lethality of this magic is not that strong, but it excels in defense and control and deceleration. Combined with the spells that Jiang Xinghuo has mastered now, it can be said to be like adding wings to a tiger, combining control and output into one.

After counting the harvest, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the time. It was almost dawn and the game would have to wait a few more hours, so he went outside to find a place to have breakfast. After coming back, he took another nap.

During the day, there was still a constant stream of customers coming to the store. Jiang Xinghuo was so busy that he kept running around. He only stopped in the evening to calculate the day's income, and a deep sense of happiness suddenly surged in his heart.

"almost……"

Jiang Xinghuo looked outside and made sure that no one would come, so he went over to close the door, then cooked a bowl of instant noodles. While eating the noodles, he took out his mobile phone and started playing games.

…………

"You slowly opened your eyes beside the shrine in Dragon City."

"A new day begins, the gentle and warm sunshine shines on your face, letting you know that you are alive again. Where are you going to go next?"

"I believe that after the last death incident, you have learned enough lessons. If you are a smart person, you should know where to go and where not to go."

Jiang Xinghuo ignored the sarcastic text and quickly made his own choice, which was to continue exploring the haunted house in Xikai Hutong.

"Exile, it seems that your last death did not teach you enough lessons."

"You are still so reckless. I hope you can hold on longer today and not die so soon."

"You were walking on the streets of Longcheng and noticed that every household was decorated with lights and flowers, as if some kind of celebration was about to take place. You stopped a passerby and wanted to ask about the details, but the passerby rolled his eyes at you."

"You continued walking forward, stopped another citizen, and gave him 10 sticks of incense, and then learned the whole story from him." "It turns out that today is the day when Longcheng holds the 'Liushang Lantern Festival'."

"On this day, all the unmarried men and women of Dragon City who are of marriageable age will put on their most beautiful clothes and go to the canal together. The women will admire the flowers by the river, while the men will sit on both sides of the canal. Wine glasses will flow down from the upstream. If a wine glass stops in front of someone, that person will pick it up and drink. This is called Qushui Liushang, and it is used to attract their loved ones."

"If two people like each other, they can leave hand in hand, go to the streets together to enjoy the lanterns, and form a beautiful marriage."

"Would you like to join in the fun?"

Jiang Xinghuo curled his lips and nodded directly.

If this event was held in reality, he would still have the time to go and take a look. But why would he waste his time in the game? Wouldn't it be better to explore a new map instead?

"You came to Xikai Hutong."

"You walked into the dark and damp alley and saw two houses with their doors half-open. You looked up and saw the plaques on the doors. The one on the left had a sign that said 'Yao's Pharmacy', while the one on the right had no sign, only a red lantern. I had no idea what it did."

"Which one do you choose to visit?"

Looking at the text message on the phone, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and decided to go to the medicine house to explore and see if there was anything good.

"You pushed open the door of the medicine house."

"It turned out to be a small courtyard with only two dilapidated houses, a dead tree, and a dry well. There was nothing else."

"You looked up at the dead tree and saw a body that had long been dried up, hanging on it and drifting in the wind."

"Tathagata's talent is triggered."

"You have figured out the identity of this corpse. It is the owner of this medicine house. He was implicated by the gang of thieves and cursed by the dead dragon, so he committed suicide."

"You looked into the dry well again and saw more than a dozen skeletons piled up inside. They were the family members of the owner of the medicine house, including women and children."

"When you walk into the shabby house on the left, you'll find that it's full of dust and hasn't been cleaned for years. Judging from the furnishings in the house, it should be a place for refining medicine. Do you want to explore the shabby house?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose yes.

"You explored the shabby house and found a copy of the Qihuang Medical Classic, a set of acupuncture needles, a medicine robe, a string of cat's eye pearls, a medicine bottle, and the remains of a Nanyang pharmacist."

A total of six items were obtained.

Jiang Xinghuo took them out and had a look. The properties and functions of several props were good, but unfortunately they were of no use to him, so they could only remain in the magic bag and gather dust.

Only the body of the Nanyang pharmacist aroused some interest in him.

"The remains of a Nanyang medicine master (ordinary material), the remains of a Nanyang medicine master, Luang Po. Because he had been raising poisons for many years, a large amount of toxins had accumulated in his body. After being treated with special methods, it can produce certain medicinal value and help treat liver and gallbladder diseases."

"You examined the remains of the Nanyang pharmacist and found a suicide note from him."
