My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 497: The Turbid Air of the Five Grains
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the prompts given in the game text and thought carefully. Since the other party was more numerous and powerful and he was no match for them, he could only find another way and choose some other methods.

In theory, poisoning should be the best option. Not only is it convenient and quick, but it is also unlikely to attract the attention of others.

However, there is currently no suitable way or medium for poisoning, and it is difficult to find poison that evaporates only through the air.

Jiang Xinghuo went around the niche shop but couldn't find a suitable poison, but he took a fancy to something else.

"Item: Dragon Breath Fire Thunder."

"Consignor: Pyrotechnician."

"Selling price: 300 incense sticks."

"Function: Specially purified dragon breath gunpowder, effective killing distance is about five meters. The gunpowder has been specially processed and mixed with a large amount of white phosphorus. It can burn with air as nutrients and burst into a high temperature of over 1000℃ in an instant."

"Burn time: 1 minute."

"Note: When using this type of gunpowder, it is best to detonate it twice the safe range. Otherwise, when the target is struggling in severe pain, it is easy to cause accidental injuries to the user, or even drag the user to death."

"Do you want to buy this dragon breath fire thunder?"

Jiang Xinghuo's mind became active as he read the text description.

Isn't this something prepared for him? It can be used within this small map. Then, the road outside will be sealed and all the monsters inside will be turned into roasted suckling pigs.

Moreover, the price offered was very reasonable, one fire bomb only cost 300 incense sticks. Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand without any hesitation and bought all ten fire bombs on the shelf.

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo was not going to waste all the fire bombs in such a place. He estimated that in order to burn to death all the monsters inside, half of them would be enough.

At this time, Jiang Xinghuo remembered something again, and hurriedly opened the magic bag and searched through it carefully, and finally found a jar of dragon oil.

This fire dragon oil was something he had found in the Caixi Pavilion in Peking, and he also obtained the recipe for the fire dragon oil. He also collected the ingredients and made two jars, just in time to add fuel to the fire.

"Take out five dragon breath fire bombs from your magic bag, and use the wind sickle secret technique to conceal your body shape. Place them in the corners of the stone chamber, and place two jars of fire dragon oil next to them."

"You lost, Dragon Breath Fire Thunder-2."

"You lost, Fire Dragon Oil -2."

"These sudden extra items did not attract the attention of others. After you put them away, you quietly came to the outside of the iron gate and sealed it tightly with a special door-sealing talisman."

"Door Sealing Talisman (Excellent Consumable Item), a talisman that can temporarily make an object indestructible. Just stick this talisman on the corresponding object, and within the next five minutes, the object will become as solid as a rock and indestructible."

This talisman is a prop that Jiang Xinghuo found in the ancient house. It was originally a consumable magic weapon used for external defense of internal buildings.

Jiang Xinghuo, however, did the opposite and treated it as a sealed prison. It was the same principle anyway, and although it could only last for five minutes, it should be enough.

Let’s take a step back.

Even if someone could break through the door-sealing talisman, he would probably be half burned to death, and it would be much easier to deal with him afterwards.

After Jiang Xinghuo had calculated everything, he activated the effect of the Dragon Breath Fire Thunder and quietly detonated it among the crowd.

"You activated the switch hub of the Dragon Breath Fire Thunder."

"The blazing flames surged out like dragon's breath, carrying with them a blinding light and high temperature, engulfing the numerous monsters and demons that were discussing and debating."

"The fire dragon oil has only amplified the power of the flames. However, the monsters gathered here are no ordinary people. After the initial panic, they began to use various methods to deal with this sudden change."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the content of the game text, he thought to himself that I can't let you get away with this, otherwise all my work will be in vain.

So Jiang Xinghuo immediately opened the magic bag, found the wind sickle horn, and clicked to use it.

"You gently waved the horn of the wind sickle in your hand, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and the fire that was about to go out was rekindled in an instant."

"The wind fueled the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind. It was like countless fire dragons raging and dancing wildly. In the blink of an eye, the entire space was engulfed by the tide of flames."

"You have obtained, Incense +100."

"You have obtained, Incense +150."

"You have obtained, Incense +70."

“你的香火收入＋130＋210＋50＋50＋150……”

Looking at the ever-increasing number of incense sticks, Jiang Xinghuo's heart was filled with joy. He could really say that he made a huge profit this time. If it weren't for all these monsters gathered together, it would have been impossible for him to make so much profit in such a short time.

After this incident.

There should be fewer evil spirits entrenched in Wuyou Cave, and the police station will save a lot of trouble when they clean up in the future. Should he apply for a Three Good Citizen title? ?

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, he saw new prompt information coming from the game.

"Your door-sealing talisman has been hit by a high-intensity impact. The durability of the talisman is continuously decreasing."

Um? ?

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, thinking that among these monsters, there must be a master who can actually destroy the door-sealing talisman from the inside out. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the monster called Wu Gujun.

"The effect of the door-sealing talisman has lost its effect. The surviving monsters have all fled in a swarm. Many have died in the crowd and trampled on. Some have even died in the fight for an escape route."

"The burnt and tattered Wu Gu Jun escaped and roared in anger. He vowed to find the shameful and despicable plotter and immerse him in a cesspool for eternity."

"However, the dragon's breath fire thunder also burned it badly. Even with the five grains' turbid qi protecting its body, its skin and flesh were burned. The fire poison has even invaded its heart. Fortunately, its life has been saved, but it needs to find a secret place to heal its wounds as soon as possible."

"Because it has many enemies in Wuyou Cave. They are usually afraid of its strength and methods and dare not come to seek revenge. If they knew it would become like this, they would definitely take advantage of its illness and kill it. So it must hide first and be a turtle for a while."

"Lord Wugu spread out his body and flew away into the distance. Do you want to follow him and find an opportunity to see if you can kill him?" This was a task that came right to his doorstep. Jiang Xinghuo certainly would not refuse. Without even thinking about it, he chose to follow him.

"You hid in the wind, your figure was somewhere between reality and illusion, and under the light of the fire behind you, you quietly followed behind Mr. Goku."

"You have encountered a few seriously injured and isolated sewage people. Do you want to take care of them?"

"You have killed the Dirt Blighter, +3."

"You have obtained, Incense +450."

"You have obtained the Ghostly Ear, +2."

"Your number of Ghost Ears (10/10)."

"Now that you have gathered enough Ghost Goblin Ears, you can be led to the Eight Directions Spirit Tower through a special method. Do you want to perform the leading ceremony immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no first. He had to eat his meals one bite at a time and do things one by one. He had to finish the Wu Gujun task line first, and it would not be too late to do other things later.

"You put away your Ghostly Ears and continue to pursue the trail of the Five Grains Lord. Your Five Grains Samsara Body is most sensitive to the turbid air on the Five Grains Lord. Even if the opponent is very fast, you can easily sense his presence."

"However, just as you walked along a dark and damp road, you suddenly discovered that Wu Gu-jun had disappeared. Then, you felt a foul and powerful force suddenly attack you from behind, instantly knocking you out and landing in the sewage."

"A large amount of foul qi from the five grains is entangled in your internal organs, trying to absorb the essence of your five internal organs for its own use."

"Your internal organs are rapidly failing, and the essence within them is plundered by the turbid qi of the five grains and returned to the body of the Five Grains Lord, becoming nutrients and medicine for it to heal its own injuries."

"You are dead."

"You have triggered the Five Grains Samsara Body."

"Your Five Grain Samsara Body can be immune to the corresponding germs and toxins, but the power contained in the turbid energy of the five grains is not included in it."

"But you died this time under the Five Grains' turbid air, and your body also absorbed the toxins and power of the Five Grains' turbid air. So, you only need to go to the germ hotbed of the Five Grains' Samsara House and upgrade your Five Grains' Samsara Body to become immune to the Five Grains' turbid air."

"Do you want to activate the scapegoat effect?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and thought to himself that he wanted to fish, but he didn't expect to be killed by the fish.

Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. I gained the ability to be immune to the turbid energy of the five grains. When I come back to find Mr. Wu Gu again, I won't have to worry about his abilities.

"You activated the scapegoat, opened your eyes at the shrine in Wuyou Cave, and then activated the shrine's teleportation ability, returning to the Five Grains Samsara House in Yanshi Town."

"You have released the remaining grain turbidity in your body into the hotbed of germs. Your Grain Reincarnation Body has also been slightly upgraded, with a level of +1."

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to explore Yanshi Town? Or are you going to go back to Wuyou Cave and cause trouble for Wugu Jun?"

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter without hesitation and returned to Wuyou Cave to find Wu Gujun.

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate.

Since someone gave him such a great gift, he must go back and find the other person to repay him/her.

"You activated the shrine in the Five Grains Samsara House and returned to the Worry-Free Cave. You used the Five Grains Samsara Body to sense the Five Grains' turbid air and found where the Five Grains Lord was hiding. Do you want to track him down immediately?"

"You followed the turbid air of grains in the air and came to an extremely remote place. This should be the site of an abandoned sewer. The route is complicated and there are many evil creatures hiding in the dark. If you were not sensitive to the turbid air of grains, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find the hiding place of Lord Wu Gu in such a place."

In order not to alert the enemy, Jiang Xinghuo opened the skill panel, found the secret technique of wind sickle, and hid his body in the wind again.

"You passed through the sewer full of decay and dust and came to the end of a dead end. Wu Gu Jun was hiding behind the blocked stone door. What are you going to do next?"

"Do you choose to force your way in, or do you wait outside for Goku-kun to come out on his own?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it was a waste of time to just sit there and wait for something to happen, so he decided to hurry up and make a quick decision, otherwise Wu Gujun’s injuries would have healed.

Although he did not understand the turbid air of the five grains, based on the description of his own death in the text, this technique should be able to plunder the essence of other people's internal organs and use it as nourishment to improve his cultivation or heal injuries.

Therefore, the longer the time is delayed, the greater the threat to himself. If he waits until Wu Gu Jun's injuries are completely healed, even if he has the Wu Gu Samsara Body that can be immune to the erosion of turbid air, he will probably be beaten to death by the other party.

"You made up your mind, took out the Dragon King's Dao weapon, and smashed the stone door in front of you with all your strength. Amid the smoke and dust, the power of the five grains filled with a foul aura swept in from the darkness like a huge wave."

"Wu Gu Jun wants to use his old trick again, using the characteristics of his own turbid qi to plunder the vital energy of your internal organs."

"But this time, the Five Grains King did not get what he wanted. He found that after his five grains' turbid energy entered your body, for some reason, it directly cut off the connection with him, just like a drop in the ocean, without causing any waves."

"Wu Gu Jun was shocked, thinking that he had encountered an opponent with higher cultivation than himself, and turned around to escape, but the next moment, everything he saw was filled with dazzling purple lightning."

"Wu Gu Jun was seriously injured and could no longer resist your thunder magic. His body was already severely burned by the fire, and now it is even worse. His internal organs have turned into charcoal and there is no life at all."

"The peach blossom and lightning tattoo on your body is also gradually fading, leaving only a few silver-white arcs jumping and wandering on the surrounding walls, which are difficult to dissipate for a long time."

"You have killed, Lord Goku."

"You have obtained, Incense +3000."

"You killed Wu Gu Jun who defected from Guanglu Temple. You can take his head to Jiangnan City and find the food god "Yun Fo" of Guanglu Temple to exchange for the reward given by Guanglu Temple."

"But before that, you can touch Mr. Goku's body first to see if you can find anything. Do you want to touch his body?"

After seeing the death notice of Wu Gujun, Jiang Xinghuo felt relieved. He then controlled the game character to search Wu Gujun's body.

"You searched through Mr. Goku's charred and tattered body and found his storage items, gaining a lot of things."

"You have obtained: a bag of abundant grains (rare), a copy of 'The Essence of the Turbid Air of the Five Grains' (special), a Guanglu Temple chef's identity card (common), a fragment of 'The Book of the Treasures of the Five Grains' (special), and a crystal demon's stomach (excellent)."
