My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 46 Taiyin Corpse Refining
"You hunted down your fellow exile, Nameless, and took away some of his incense."

"Your incense quantity +1000."

"You have successfully hunted down 10 fellow Exiles."

"You plundered the blood power of these exiles, and your physical fitness has been greatly improved."

In the office, Wang Sheng showed a smug smile on his face as he looked at the text message on his mobile phone.

He could clearly feel a warm current of power bursting out from deep within his body, flowing through his body with the blood, slowly increasing his physical strength.

This is Wang Sheng's 'golden finger'.

He unexpectedly received an invitation to the internal test of the game "Folk World" that day. When he had nothing to do, he downloaded it to play, but found that the rewards he got in the game could actually be brought into reality.

Wang Sheng was so excited that he couldn't speak. He worked from 9 am to 6 pm every day, and sometimes worked overtime until late at night. He also had to endure the exploitation of his superiors. The work was his own, but the credit went to his boss. He had had enough of this kind of life!

Now, the golden finger of his life has finally arrived!!

He must work hard to become stronger! To surprise everyone! Especially the woman who rejected him!

So Wang Sheng began his journey in the folk world, but ended up becoming autistic, and every day he was committing suicide in different ways.

Either he is killed by a drug addict today, or he is dug out by a corpse-digging dog tomorrow, or he is hit by a club.

However, Wang Sheng’s relic, the Taoist Exorcist, is a good inheritance, and it has two innate abilities, one is passive and the other is active.

The effect of his passive talent is to increase his attraction to ghosts and monsters, especially to attract ghosts wandering around him and the evil spirits of the rising dead.

Therefore, he never dared to go to those dangerous places in Longcheng. If he went there, he would die. He could only wander around other places.

The active talent ability is corpse refining, which can refine corpses in the game into puppets, and make them immune to some magical attacks.

He went on like this for several days until one day, he was tricked by a player named 'Mountain God' and things finally took a turn for the better.

That time, although all the incense he had accumulated was taken away, it also triggered his inspiration.

If I can't defeat the monsters in Dragon City, then the other players must not be much better. Everyone's strength is probably at the same level, so things will be easy.

He wandered around Longcheng for a few days and finally came to Xikai Hutong. After dying more than a dozen times, he finally found two good props. Using his talent for corpse refining, he turned the coffin maker's corpse into a zombie.

Then he started fishing on the forum.

There were actually some players who thought he was a good guy and came here happily. But the result was self-evident, they were all killed by him.

As for those players who were killed by him, he did not reveal his true identity on the forum. It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. It has to be said that he has a good grasp of people's psychology.

Those players were thinking, if I was the only one who was fooled, wouldn’t it make me look really stupid? But if enough people were fooled, then it wasn’t just me who was stupid, it was the other party who was too smart and I was too careless.

In this way, Wang Sheng's strength improved rapidly.

Tonight, he was arranged by his boss to work overtime again. He happened to be lazy and logged into the game to see if there was anyone he could lure over. Unexpectedly, he actually got something.

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

Looking at the pop-up game text, Wang Sheng happily chose yes. He wondered what good stuff he could get today.

"You chose to go forward and touch the corpse, but when you got closer you discovered that the person you just killed was actually a scarecrow!"

Seeing this line of text, Wang Sheng's heart suddenly sank. The game had clearly given a hint that the player he killed was a player named "Anonymous". How could it be a scarecrow? Just as he was wondering, the game text changed again.

"You were attacked by 'John Doe.'

"You were submerged in the lightning by the opponent's Small Five Thunder Technique. You had no ability to resist at all. You were struck by lightning and turned into a piece of charcoal."

"You are dead."

"You have lost all the incense points you had, a total of 5500 points."

"Your Demon-Subduing Bell has been lost."

"Your Guillotine has been lost."

"You lost two Three Officials Ghost Searching Talismans."

"You lost..."

"You were used the Flying Dragon Cloud-Seeking Hand."

"You lost..."

Wang Sheng stared at the phone in astonishment. He was completely stunned and his eyes gradually became moist. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He could only watch the texts pop up again and again and watch all his good things being taken away.

In the end, only a desperate roar was left.

"You damn bastard..."

…………

"You killed your fellow exile - the exorcist."

"Exorcist Taoist (excellent relic), Sanwudu Dao, Zhengyi League Prestige Scroll, an exorcist Taoist who has been granted the Supreme Sanwudu Dao, is naturally compatible with Taoism and can spontaneously attract demons and monsters. Special talent: Refining corpses."

"Talent effect: Through the power of the moonlight, supplemented by cinnabar, talismans, and herbs, corpses can be refined into walking corpses. As the talisman level is upgraded, the walking corpse can also evolve into a bronze-armored corpse."

"You killed the exorcist. Do you choose to touch the corpse?"

Jiang Xinghuo smiled and chose yes, controlling the character to explore the exorcist's corpse. It was really a different time now.

"You conducted a thorough search of the exorcist's body and obtained a demon-suppressing bell, a blood-dropping dart, two Three Officials Ghost-Searching Talismans, two Cloud-Repelling Talismans, and two Rain-Praying Talismans."

"You used the Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds Hand to take out a copy of the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique from the exorcist's bag."

"But you discovered that this secret book of dharma had been banned by someone, which could block all the prying eyes of the dharma. Fortunately, you triggered the Tathagatagarbha and saw the true face of this dharma book."

"The Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique (legendary technique), the secret corpse refining technique of the Maoshan Sect, requires one to be awarded the Zhengyi Alliance Prestige Scroll before one can practice it. After mastering it, one can split off a strand of spiritual consciousness, and even if they are in different worlds, one can use spiritual consciousness to occupy the body of a zombie and manipulate it."

hiss! !

Seeing the description of the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp, and his heart began to beat faster.

According to the description in the text, zombies can be controlled even in different worlds. Does that mean that even in the real world, one can use the so-called spiritual consciousness to descend into the game world and occupy the body of that zombie?

If my guess comes true, it would be a big deal. Others can only peek into that world through words, but I can use the body of a zombie to truly go to that mysterious world and experience the game from many different angles.
