My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 47 Heavenly Official’s Blessing
Jiang Xinghuo lowered his head and read the game text carefully again. He was already about 70% sure of his speculation.

However, he also noticed that the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique had a prerequisite, which was that one had to be awarded the Zhengyi League's Prestige Scroll before being able to practice it.

"This is a bit difficult..."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly.

Jiang Xinghuo had some knowledge about the Taoist promotion system. New disciples were given the Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Lu. After several years of assessment, they could be promoted to the Zheng Yi Meng Wei Lu.

Let’s not talk about whether the ordination is useful in reality. Even if it is really useful, it is impossible for an ordinary person like him who has not been ordained to obtain the real ordination.

And as far as he knew, ordination and ordination were not quite the same. Although the conditions were now relaxed and anyone could get ordination by spending a little money, ordination required an examination.

Just as Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this, the game text suddenly changed again.

"You have acquired the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique."

"This technique is the unique skill of the Maoshan Sect. You can go to the ancestral altar of the Maoshan Sect. If you can get the approval of the Maoshan Patriarch, you can practice this technique even without receiving the ordination certificate."

"You have obtained the map of Maoshan Sect."

Seeing the game text pop up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved. It seemed that he had triggered the subsequent mission plot.

Maoshan Sect, a new map.

This is one of the key points I want to explore in the future.

Jiang Xinghuo put the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique into his magic bag and turned around to continue counting his other gains.

"The Demon Subduing Bell (Excellent Item), the Sanqing Bell used by the Heavenly Master in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, has the ability to suppress all ghosts and demons. It can also be used to temporarily manipulate corpses for one's own use by shaking the bell."

"Blood Dropper (Excellent Equipment), a weapon used by the assassin organization 'Sticky Rod Division' in the inner court of the palace during the old dynasty. It has the ability to drain blood and automatically lock onto anyone within a hundred meters and fly out to take their heads."

Seeing the description of these two props, Jiang Xinghuo laughed unkindly. He remembered that on the forum, that person used these two props to fish, but now they are all his.

On the other side, Wang Sheng looked at the prompts that popped up in the game, his heart bleeding. The few treasures he had worked so hard to obtain were taken away just like that.

What made him even more distressed was the Taiyin Corpse Refining Manual in the bag. He was not like Jiang Xinghuo, who had a lucky start and got a top-quality storage bag not long after entering the game.

His storage bag was a basic, tattered item that couldn't hold too many items, so he carried most of the items with him.

He got the secret book of Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique from the Wanghai Lane Antique Market, spending hundreds of incense points on it. Although he did not have the ability and props of "information vision", he was unable to decipher the mystery behind the book.

However, his natural affinity with Taoism made him realize that this "Taiyin Corpse Refining" was no ordinary item, so he treasured it very much.

I didn't expect that now all of this has become a wedding dress for others.

As for Jiang Xinghuo, after putting away the Blood Dropper and the Demon-Subduing Bell, he looked at the remaining talismans.

"Three Officials Ghost-Searching Talisman (common consumable item), one of the talismans passed down in the Heavenly Master's lineage, can search for traces of scent left by various creatures."

"The Cloud-Repelling Talisman (a common consumable item), one of the talismans passed down in the Heavenly Master's lineage, has the power to drive away clouds and raise wind when used."

"The Rain-Praying Talisman (a common consumable item), one of the talismans passed down in the Heavenly Master's lineage. It can be used to pray for water and rain. It must be used in conjunction with the Cloud-Repelling Talisman to be effective."

The three talismans each have their own uses. Jiang Xinghuo took them out, looked at them for a few seconds, and then put them away.

Even though the Exorcist's quest is temporarily over, no new game text pops up. Instead, there is a new quest line for the coffin maker.

"You searched the shabby house and finally found a small wooden box under the coffin maker's bed."

"Do you want to open the wooden box?" Jiang Xinghuo would never refuse and chose to open it directly.

"You opened the wooden box and found a letter from home, a map, a set of coffin maker's skins, and a large seal wrapped in yellow cloth."

"The Great Seal of Heavenly Official's Blessing (rare item), the Great Seal of Heavenly Official's Blessing, no taboos, the Great Seal of Heavenly Official's Blessing passed down by the coffin maker's ancestors, can add blessings to the body and ignore many taboos and curses."

"This is also the reason why the coffin maker's coffin can last for a hundred years without rotting. After each coffin is made, the maker will stamp the bottom of the coffin with the Heavenly Official Seal. As long as the seal remains, the coffin and the body will not rot."

"It was the only one that survived the curse of the dead dragon. Although it resisted the curse, it could not resist the evil spirit's death."

Seeing the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. The curse of the dead dragon was almost unsolvable. As long as the relevant taboos were triggered, there was only one way to go, and that was death.

But now, as long as he had this seal in his hand, he could ignore the curse of the dead dragon when exploring this alley.

Good stuff! Really good stuff!
But when he wanted to take out the seal, he found that no matter how he clicked on the text, he couldn't bring the thing to reality.

"what happened?"

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little puzzled. Could it be that this was another prop exclusive to the game world that couldn't be used in reality?

Jiang Xinghuo studied it for a while, then put it aside and turned to look at the map again.

"Map of Coffin Town (Ordinary Item). Coffin Town is a small town in Beiyang Land, under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi Province. Every household makes a living by making coffins, and it is well-known far and wide."

Another new map.

Including this, he has now triggered three maps, one is the Imperial Medical Bureau in Beiping, one is the Maoshan Sect, and the other is the Coffin Town.

As for which map to go to first, it’s not too late to think about it slowly after you have explored Dragon City completely.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and temporarily put away the map. In the end, only the letter from home and a set of skins were left.

"This is a letter from Mr. Guan. It was sent from Guan Town to Longcheng. The sender is the grandfather of the coffin maker. The old man said in the letter that he has been in poor health recently and doesn't have much time left, so he asked his grandson to come back and make a comfortable coffin for him before he died."

"After receiving the letter from home, the coffin maker immediately packed up his things and prepared to return to Coffin Town the next day to take care of grandpa until his death. Unfortunately, time does not bless people. That night, the curse of the dead dragon came down and everyone in the alley died. Although he escaped with the help of the Heavenly Official Seal, he was also visited by the evil spirit who wanted to take his life..."

"Before dying, it wrote this letter home and left behind the Heavenly Official Seal, hoping that someone who comes after it can help it fulfill its last wish and return to its hometown to be filial to its grandfather. This seal and the coffin maker's skin are its thank you gift."

"You have triggered a hidden mission - the coffin maker's commission."

"Will you accept the coffin maker's commission?"

"Note: If you do not accept the coffin maker's commission, the thank-you gift he left for you will automatically disappear."

If you don’t accept the task, there will be no reward?
No wonder I couldn’t withdraw the reward.

Jiang Xinghuo thought that he really didn't suffer any loss, but he also understood the mechanism of the game. Wanting benefits without doing any work, there is no such a cheap thing in the world.

"You accepted the commission from the coffin maker."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal."

"You have acquired the 'Coffin Maker Skin'."
