My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 44: Map of the Imperial Medical Bureau
“Molong Atai (rare item), this is a legendary spiritual object from heaven and earth. It not only has the ability to find herbs and medicines, but can also remove all kinds of poisons in the world, greatly develop the body's potential, and be immune to thousands of common diseases and terminal illnesses. It even has the magical effect of bringing people back to life.”

"The Medicine King once traveled all over the secular world, trying to track down his whereabouts, but never found any relevant clues, which he considered the biggest regret of his life."

"He once made a vow that if someone could find this magical object and give him the ambergris, he would use all he had to fulfill three wishes for that person."

Looking at the description in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo felt that this thing seemed to be more powerful than his own immunity to all poisons.

Not only can it prevent various medical diseases and terminal illnesses, it also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. It is simply the legendary elixir of immortality.

"Exile, do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and chose to use it directly. Not long after, he felt the changes in his body. The cold and heat cycles in his body alternated, sweat kept oozing out of his pores, and his stomach began to rumble.

Jiang Xinghuo hurried to the bathroom and spent more than half an hour there before coming out refreshed.

Moreover, there was a faint fragrance emanating from his body, which made one feel refreshed and spiritual, as if the whole person was reborn.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up the phone and glanced at the game text.

"You have obtained the inheritance of Ancestor Molong."

"Your body has been transformed by Molong Atai. All the impurities in your body have been excreted. Your body functions have been greatly improved. Your metabolism is more than ten times that of an ordinary person."

"Not only can you be exempt from thousands of common medical diseases, but even your blood contains vigorous vitality and becomes a good medicine that can cure diseases."

After seeing these lines of game text, Jiang Xinghuo flipped forward again.

He remembered that when he first got the dog-skin plaster and the powerful pills, his physical fitness had been strengthened, and it was said that he was immune to dozens of diseases and some terminal illnesses.

Now, after the transformation by 'Molong Atai', he has reached a new level. It is estimated that in his current condition, living to 200 years old should not be a problem.

However, the text has not ended at this point in the game and is still continuing.

"You have obtained the inheritance of the ancestor Molong, and also learned about his past."

"Ancestor Mo Long was originally the ancestor of the Yao family. He passed down medical skills from generation to generation and was best at surgical medicine."

"Once it went to the mountains to collect herbs and returned very late at night. However, because it drank some medicinal wine, it accidentally fell into a ditch when passing by a stream."

"The ancestor of the Yao family tried to stand up by touching the stones at the bottom of the ditch, but he felt his palms were cold and slippery. He was suddenly startled, thinking that there were many poisonous snakes circling and living in the mountains. Could it be that he had disturbed a poisonous snake?"

“But when Patriarch Yao lowered his eyes to take a look, he found that it was not a venomous snake at all, but a small emerald green dragon cub, which climbed up along his palm and gently wrapped around his wrist.”

"After returning home, Patriarch Yao discovered that his hands, which had touched the ambergris, were extremely fragrant. Even after several months, the fragrance remained the same."

"Moreover, the medicines prepared by those hands often have miraculous effects. No matter what kind of difficult and complicated diseases, they can be easily cured."

"It was therefore recruited to the inner court of the palace and became the Imperial Physician, specializing in treating illnesses of royal relatives and nobles, and was given the honorific title of 'Molong Laozu'."

"You have now obtained the inheritance of the ancestor Molong, and you are his destined successor. He left some gifts for you in the Forbidden City, and you can take them out at any time."

"You have obtained the map of the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"It's really fate..."

After reading the description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought that this was destined to happen. The treasure that others dreamed of was accidentally obtained by Patriarch Yao. If this were to be spread out, I wonder how many people would be envious.

However, you still have to think carefully about the map of the Imperial Medical Bureau. You must go to the map of Peking City, but it is not certain whether you can enter the Forbidden City.

He remembered that when the plot of the dead man's wealth was triggered, the game text briefly described the Forbidden City. After the Dawn Night, it had become a forbidden place for the living. Those who entered without permission would either die or go crazy. Before a solution was found, going there would be a waste of life.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, stopped thinking about it, and continued playing the game.

"You walked out of the secret room and explored the courtyard. After making sure there were no hidden gains, you quietly closed the door and left."

"You left the Yao Family Medicine House and stood in the alley looking around. Where are you going to go next?"

Several options are listed below: Red Lantern Gate, Wang’s Private Residence, Lin’s Compound, and the Coffin Maker’s House.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and thought that since the text gave four options, they must have corresponding plot triggers, so he just had to follow them in order.

"You chose the portal illuminated by the red lantern."

"A red lantern illuminates a red door. You push the door open and walk in, and you find a small courtyard with a well-arranged layout."

"At this moment, a plump and slender thigh suddenly stretched out from behind the curtain, and the silver bells on the ankles jingled, as if tempting you to come in. What would you choose?"

Two options, go in or leave.

Yo ho!

After seeing the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was interesting. He had been in the game for such a long time, but he didn't expect that there would be restricted plots.

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go in directly.

"You looked at that slender thigh and walked into the house impatiently, but as soon as you entered the house, you felt a gust of evil wind coming from the back of your head."

"Fortunately, you were well prepared and easily avoided the attack. When you looked back, you found that the person who attacked you was actually a female butcher selling meat on the street."

"It turns out that in addition to selling pork, it also runs a secret door business. After using it, it sends people to the meat stall to sell it to customers who come to buy meat."

"It just so happens that the pig seller who supplied it today went to attend the Lantern Festival and didn't come to deliver the goods, so I can only use you to make up the number."

"The female butcher attacked you. Do you choose to flee? Or do you go forward and fight her head-on?"

Two options, run away or go forward.

"You chose to step forward and fight it head-on."

"You used the Small Five Thunder Technique."

"You killed the butcher woman."

"You have received incense +50."

"Do you want to choose to go forward and touch the corpse?"

"You went forward to explore the body and found a butcher knife, a bloody apron, a silver bell for an anklet, a piece of flesh and blood of an unknown creature, and a tombstone carving knife.

Jiang Xinghuo took inventory and found that except for the piece of flesh and blood, the remaining ones could be used to upgrade the props. He went back to find the Taoist Master Shengong to see if he could use them.

Only the piece of flesh and blood of the unknown creature made Jiang Xinghuo feel quite surprised.
