My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 532: Qi Mother
"You have obtained the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Water-Banned Divine Power."

"You can prohibit the flow of water-attributed spells and magical powers within a 100-meter radius of yourself within two minutes."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text, feeling both surprised and delighted. This Dragon Slaying Sword was the highest-level and highest-quality item he had obtained so far, especially the ability to produce critical hits against specific races. This gave him an intuition that perhaps one day in the future, this sword would come in handy.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo took something out of the magic bag, and a sword more than three feet long appeared in his hand. Although the sword was broken and rusty, the part close to the hilt was extremely sharp, flashing with cold light, and exuding a terrifying aura.

Jiang Xinghuo noticed that this Dragon Slaying Sword had a total of eight magical powers, and the text suffix that appeared after integrating the water-banning magical power was only one-ninth.

After a quick thought, he understood what was going on. The eight magical powers of the Dragon Slaying Sword were dormant as the sword body shattered. Only by finding the missing fragments could the dormant magical powers be awakened again.

But the game text also makes it very clear that if you want to completely restore the sword to its former power, you have to sharpen it with dragon scales and horns, which adds up to exactly nine parts of the fragments.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before the Dragon Slaying Sword can regain its former sharpness. It is truly a long and arduous journey.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

There are four directions in Qianlong Residence. Jiang Xinghuo first chose the east. In the living place of the Lord of the World, he found the props left by the Lord of the World. What place will he choose next? ?
After a brief thought, Jiang Xinghuo chose to go west this time. Normally speaking, the best option for exploration in this environment is to go counterclockwise or clockwise, but he chose not to take the usual path and chose the opposite direction that was the farthest.

Firstly, I really want to go there and take a look. After all, in traditional folk culture, this direction often represents different meanings, and the meanings are also very contradictory. Sometimes it is a symbol of noble status, and sometimes it means bad luck.

Places like Qianlongdi must pay great attention to the location and feng shui, and you may find some unexpected gains and surprises.

"You chose to go to the west of Qianlong Mansion. You passed through the thick fog and came to the west of the mansion. The monsters hiding behind the fog seemed to want to kill you here, but they seemed to be afraid of some kind of power in you, so they didn't dare to take even a step beyond their control. They could only watch you take out the key and open the door of the house in front of you."

"But at this moment, you suddenly heard the sound of a rushing wind behind you, as if another sharp arrow or crossbow was breaking through the air and attacking you. Do you want to take action to resist?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. He had no tendency to be masochistic. If he didn't resist, wouldn't he have given away his life in vain? ?
"You dodged the crossbow arrow from behind you by moving sideways, caught the arrow in your hand, and threw it toward the thick fog."

"You have been killed, General Tiger."

"You have obtained, Incense +500."

"General Tiger was originally a young tiger that the Lord of the World raised when he was young. He grew up beside the Lord of the World and was therefore loyal to him. Not only did he fight with him on the battlefield and made great achievements, but he also did not enter the underworld after his death. Instead, he stayed in Qianlong Mansion as a ghost to guard against all the villains who coveted this place."

"So, the other monsters wandering here are afraid of your power, but General Tiger has no such scruples. He only knows that he must take action to eliminate anyone who dares to enter here without permission."

"Unfortunately, General Hu's soul had been severely injured, and his strength had never recovered. With your thunder magic, it was easy to severely injure him, and his soul was destroyed."

"You pushed open the dusty door and walked into the room. Just like what you saw before, the room looked extremely clean without any dust. However, you discovered that this room was not for living people to live in, but was used to place the rankings."

"Inside the huge room, there were dozens of tablets of various kinds, and underneath each tablet there was a weapon."

"After you read it, you will find that the people represented by these tablets are all masters who died at the hands of the Lord of the Secular World."

"Among them, there are wandering monsters, powerful ministers and generals in charge of heavy troops, and princes who have started rebellions. They may have once been great figures, but in the end, they all died at the hands of the Lord of the Secular World."

"However, although the Lord of the Secular World killed those who were his enemies because of his position, he also respected their abilities and character. He set up longevity tablets in his own residence and placed the weapons they used during their lifetime there. He burned incense and worshiped them day and night to enjoy the power of the incense."

"Among them, some strong men were impressed by the magnanimity of the Lord of the World and became mountain gods, city gods, river gods and land gods in various places. Of course, some of them remained in seclusion and were unwilling to serve the Lord of the World."

"As the saying goes, fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows fortune."

“Those monsters who were subdued by the Lord of the Secular World, although they gained powerful strength and could enjoy the incense and offerings of all living beings in the world, were also purged and killed at dawn. Most of them died tragically at the hands of the disciples of the Dao Master.”

“And those evil spirits that had fallen into a deep sleep were able to escape the disaster safely under the protection of this Qianlong Mansion. Although they could not leave the mansion, they also avoided the fate of having their souls torn apart.”

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo remembered the hand that snatched the key from him. It might be the person who escaped the disaster that year.

"Do you want to explore here?"

"Exploration in progress, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about five minutes before a new game text prompt came from the game.

"You searched the house carefully, but because too much time has passed, most of the weapons of those who died in the battle have lost their spirituality. Only a few items can still be used."

"You have obtained: a broken and incomplete human race bag (rare), a dull golden copper coin (common), a broken wind-gathering banner (excellent), and a fifty-armor seal (excellent)."

Looking at the few things he found, Jiang Xinghuo began to count them one by one. No matter what the quality of these things was, at least as enemies of the Lord of the Secular World, their strength and magical weapons would definitely not be bad.

What's more, quality is not necessarily the only criterion for measuring the power of props.

"A broken and incomplete human bag (a rare item), one of the three rare items born from nature and raised by nature, also known as the human mother bag. It can devour all things in the world, whether alive or dead, and can be put into the bag and manipulated as desired. Inside, it has become the image of the three elements of heaven, earth, wind and thunder. Endless wind and thunder sweep through it day and night, making it difficult to break through the restraints."

"This is a treasure of a vassal king in the northwest of the secular world. When the Lord of the Secular World first ascended the throne, this vassal king started a rebellion, under the pretext of serving the king, and tried to overthrow the rule of the Lord of the Secular World."

"After the Lord of the Secular World received the news, he personally led an army to the northwest to suppress the rebellion. After a bloody battle, the prince was defeated and fled. The Lord of the Secular World pursued him alone. Finally, he fought a decisive battle with the prince in a mine in the northwest. He used the dragon-raising technique to activate the dragon veins of the ore, and brought the power of ten thousand mountains to crush and kill the prince on the spot. The human race bag also became tattered and lost its previous ability to absorb and transform all things."

"You can go find the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian and ask him to merge this human race bag with your magic bag. It may have some unexpected effects."

Race bag?
Maitreya Buddha's magic weapon? This reminded Jiang Xinghuo of the description in Journey to the West, which said that Maitreya Buddha had such a human bag, which could hold anything in the Three Realms. Even Monkey King, who was so powerful, suffered a great loss.

I will go back and ask Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian to see if this thing can be repaired. If not, I will integrate it into the magic bag as a material to upgrade the magic bag's level.

"A dull golden copper coin (common item). This is a magical tool born from the essence of gold and silver. As the saying goes, money can communicate with ghosts and gods. It is also the core forging material of the Luobao Gold Coin. It can temporarily make the enemy's magical tool lose its effect."

"Attention, if you want to restore the former efficacy of this coin, you need to place it in a large amount of gold and silver to absorb its essence. Only in this way can the power of the falling treasure coin be restored."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the copper coin and threw it into the magic bag. On the night of New Year's Eve, he received a New Year's red envelope from the mysterious peddler, and inside it was a Luobao Gold Coin.

This task will probably fall to the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian, as only he can help fuse the copper coins together.

However, just when Jiang Xinghuo wanted to continue looking at other things, he felt his left eye blurry, and the big treasure god suddenly jumped out of his pupil and squatted on his shoulder, croaking a few times.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly understood what the other party meant and took the coin out of the magic bag again.

"You want it?"

"Quack, quack."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much about it and handed it to the mouth of Bobaoshen. Bobaoshen didn't hesitate either. He opened his mouth and rolled his tongue to roll the copper coin into his stomach. Then the coin flew back into Jiang Xinghuo's pupil.

At the same time, new game text was also released in the game.

"Your Treasure Holding God swallowed up the Falling Treasure Money, and its level has been greatly improved. Talent +3, perception range +5."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that such a copper coin could actually improve the level of the Treasure God. It seems that this copper coin is indeed extraordinary.

But he didn't feel sad at all. A bird in hand is worth a thousand in the bush. As the level of the Treasure God is improved, his corresponding abilities will also be improved, which will only benefit him and not harm him.

Finally, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the wind-gathering banner.

"The Broken Wind Gathering Banner (Excellent Item). This long banner is made of the skin of a wind beast. It can gather wind when it is waved and calm the wind when it is shaken. Although it has been broken, it has no effect on the main body of the banner. You only need to replace the banner pole and you can use it freely again."

Jiang Xinghuo found four props in this room, but none of them were complete, and all had some defects and damage to varying degrees.

As for whether there are other things in the house, Jiang Xinghuo thinks there must be. There might be magical tools and props that are more precious and powerful than the ones he found.

However, due to the rules of the game, he couldn't take all the benefits. So even if he wanted to take those things, he had no way to do so and could only follow the game text.

Moreover, in this Qianlong Mansion, the projection function of Risui has also been prohibited. Perhaps due to the Golden Law, Risui cannot be used in this map.

"Where are you going next?"

Jiang Xinghuo left the room, and the next step was to look in the other two directions, but at this moment, the upgraded Bitibaoshen suddenly sent a prompt message.

"The treasure-holding god living in the pupil of your left eye has sensed a strange aura that is very similar to the fog lingering in the yard. It is likely the source of the fog. Do you want to follow the guidance of the treasure-holding god and explore the source of the fog?"

And a surprise!

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up and he immediately made the decision. Instead of running around like a headless fly, it would be better to go there and look for it with a goal in mind.

"You followed the guidance of the God of Treasures and passed through the thick fog to a hidden place. The white mist in the air began to become thicker, spreading and rolling like a tide, spreading in all directions. At the same time, you also felt the mist slowly seeping into your body. Fortunately, you realized that this mist was not harmful to people. On the contrary, it had the effect of nourishing the body and enhancing magic power."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"With your innate ability of Tathagatagarbha, you quickly saw through the mystery hidden behind the mist."

"You have discovered the innate mother qi."

"This is the breath emanating from the innate Qi Mother. It possesses pure innate spiritual energy. If you stay in this environment for a long time, not only can you avoid all diseases, but you can also improve your own cultivation. Even if you are in this place as a ghost, you can use the innate power to re-condense your divine body and transform into a corpse-reincarnated immortal."

The innate Qi mother?

Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the prescription for the "Xiantian Fantaisyal", and Xiantian Qimu was one of the two necessary main ingredients.

He originally wanted to get information from storytellers, but since this kind of material was so rare, even those knowledgeable storytellers didn't know where to look for it.

Jiang Xinghuo scrolled back through the text and found the description of the Innate Qi Mother.

"Innate Qi Mother (special material), the innate Qi was forged by thunder and fire by chance, then nourished by mountains and rivers, and finally integrated into the dragon vein for refining. It took hundreds of years for an innate Qi Mother to be born."

Immediately afterwards, new game text popped up.

"Do you want to continue digging deeper?"
