My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 533 Ancient God
Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that he would meet the Xiantian Qi Mother here. It is one of the main ingredients for refining the Xiantian Rebirth Pill. As long as he can find this thing and wait for Molong A Tai to wake up, he can ask the Medicine King's clone to help refine the Xiantian Rebirth Pill.

He thought it would take a long time to find this material, but he didn't expect to find related clues in Qianlong Mansion.

"You chose to keep digging deeper."

"However, the innate mother qi can block the perception of other creatures. The God of Holding Treasures also sensed that the innate mother qi here is the most concentrated, and then he realized that there might be some treasure hidden here, but he could not find where the innate mother qi is hidden. You can only rely on your own strength to find it."

"You walked deep into the thick fog, carefully sensing the aura around you, but in the end you found nothing. Even the ability to see through fire and see through walls lost their original effects. Your sight was completely blocked by the innate mother qi."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, the talent of seeing through walls was gained by integrating the Taoist Heavenly Eye, while the talent of seeing through fire was upgraded from the Treasure Hunting Eye. These two talents combined could penetrate most barriers, but they were all in vain before this innate mother qi.

Jiang Xinghuo felt uncomfortable as he couldn't get in despite looking at the treasure mountain. He had finally met the innate Qi Mother, but if he missed it, he might not be sure if he would have such good luck again next time.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while in his heart, then went back to the game text and noticed the reason for the formation of the innate Qi mother. Originally, the innate Qi was forged through thunder and fire, then nourished by the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, and finally integrated into the dragon veins for refinement. It took hundreds of years to give birth to an innate Qi mother, a spiritual creature nourished by the dragon veins of heaven and earth.

So is it possible to use the power of dragon veins to find the innate Qi mother?

There are nine chapters in the dragon-raising technique. Jiang Xinghuo has currently mastered the Dragon Vein Chapter, the Territory Chapter, and the Dragon Transformation Chapter through the Nine-Death Cicada Shell cultivation.

Among them, the Dragon Vein chapter specifically talks about the methods and tricks of controlling the Dragon Veins.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo opened the skill panel, found the Dragon Raising Technique: Dragon Vein Chapter, and then clicked to use it.

"You used the power of the Dragon Raising Technique to control the power of the underground dragon veins and began to search for the existence of the Innate Qi Mother."

"Please wait……"

Jiang Xinghuo waited for a while, about ten minutes, and suddenly new information came from the game.

"You have found the location of the Innate Qi Mother."

"Through the exploration of the underground dragon veins, you quickly found the source of the innate mother qi. If nothing goes wrong, that is where the innate mother qi is. Do you want to go and dig and look for it immediately?"

"Follow the guidance of the dragon vein's aura, dig nine deep pits of varying depths and sizes on the ground nine feet in front of you, following the pattern of the nine stars of the Big Dipper, seven visible and two hidden, and fill them with water. After two words, the mechanism is triggered, and the bluestone ground suddenly collapses, revealing an underground secret room. The stone door is sealed with talismans on it, and strands of innate mother qi are spreading out from behind the door."

"You have discovered the secret room in the mansion."

"This is the secret room that the Lord of the Secular World built when he was young. Some things are stored in it. No one except the Lord of the Secular World can enter it. Only the Golden Law can open the stone door."

"Do you want to open the stone door and explore inside?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options in front of him and chose yes without hesitation, because he had absolutely no reason to refuse.

"You walk over and place your hand on the stone door, activating the golden law fragment in your body. Soon, you open the heavy stone door. The innate mother qi as thick as a tidal wave rushes towards you. You feel the mana in your body boiling instantly. Your meridians, tendons, and muscles are torn apart by the out-of-control mana, and your internal organs explode into a pool of minced meat."

"Your body was completely melted by the innate mother qi, and disappeared without a trace from this world."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the effect of the scapegoat?"

Jiang Xinghuo grinned and thought what a good start. He died before anything happened.

However, this also proves that the Innate Qi Mother is in the secret room. Not to mention dying once, even if you die eight or ten times, as long as you can obtain the Innate Qi Mother, it is a sure-win business.

"You have activated the effect of the scapegoat and reopened your eyes outside the secret room."

However, just when Jiang Xinghuo activated the scapegoat and was about to go in again, a new game text suddenly popped up.

"Your Molong Atai has awakened from his deep sleep."

"After a long period of sleep, Mo Long A Tai has gradually absorbed the power of the ambergris stone. It would take some time for him to wake up, but good fortune and disaster go hand in hand. When you were assimilated by the innate mother qi, Mo Long A Tai was also baptized by the innate mother qi, and thus completely absorbed the power of the ambergris stone and woke up in the shortest possible time."

Jiang Xinghuo was both surprised and delighted. It was truly a double blessing. Not only did he find the existence of the Innate Qi Mother, but he also used the power she emitted to successfully wake up Molong A Tai.

A thought came to my mind.

Molong A Tai appeared on the wrist, his crystal green body was like a carved work of art, exuding rich vitality. Even the art of reviving dead trees that he mastered was greatly improved under this vitality.

Corresponding upgrade information has also been received in the game.

"Your Dead Tree Resurrection Technique has been affected by Mo Long A Tai, and its level has been significantly improved, +5."

Now Molong A'tai has awakened from his slumber. As long as he finds the innate Qi mother, he can refine the innate return to the womb pill.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't wait to control the character and walked into the secret room, wanting to get the Innate Qi Mother.

"Now that you have entered this dusty secret room, do you want to start exploring it immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You have conducted a detailed exploration in the secret room. On the stone platform in the middle of the secret room, you found a white ore filled with innate Qi. It is the innate Qi mother you are looking for. Do you want to go and collect it?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the options on the screen and chose yes without hesitation. He finally got the thing he had been longing for.

"Go over and collect the white ore." "You have obtained the Innate Qi Mother."

"But at the moment you put away the Xiantian Qi Mother, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the stone platform below. Before you could react from your shock, the stone platform exploded into pieces, like a flying crossbow, shooting in all directions."

"Immediately take out the Wind Gathering Banner and wave it in your hand to block the debris flying towards you."

"And when the smoke in the secret room cleared, the scene that appeared before your eyes was something you could never have imagined."

"Deep beneath the stone platform, there is a cage made of meteorites!"

"The cage is surrounded by chains as thick as arms, and hundreds of golden talismans are affixed to it, as if they are suppressing something. But when you take a closer look, you will find that the cage is empty. There is nothing inside, at least that's what it looks like to ordinary eyes."

Jiang Xinghuo saw the description of the game text, opened the Six Heavenly Ghost Eyes between his eyebrows, and observed again through the vision corresponding to this Dharma Eye.

This time, he really saw something different.

"You saw an indescribable figure inside the cage. It seemed that the other party was the incarnation and symbol of the stars, with countless dazzling stars shining around him."

"However, its limbs and vital parts were all dismembered and nailed to the ground with dragon-locking spikes. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free and escape."

"At this time, the creature trapped in the cage seems to have sensed your arrival. It slowly opened its eyes and asked you for help. It doesn't expect you to release it from the cage, but only hopes that you can remove the dragon-locking cone on it and let it live a little easier. It has been trapped here for countless years and has had a very hard life. Even if it can make life a little better, it is willing to pay a high price in exchange."

"Do you want to fulfill its wish and pull out the dragon-locking cone from its body?"

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth and chose "no" without hesitation. Does he look so easy to fool? ?
Countless novels and film and television works have taught him an experience.

That is, if you don't cause trouble, there will be no trouble.

According to his twenty years of movie-watching experience, the people locked in these special cages are mostly vicious bastards who are out to stir up trouble.

Generally, only the protagonist or the villain can encounter this situation, where they are tempted by the other party with words or benefits, and then help the other party to get out of trouble.

It was obvious that this thing was also going the same route. Even though it spoke nicely and seemed to just want to have an easier life, Jiang Xinghuo was sure in his heart that as long as he pulled out the dragon-locking cone, the cage would most likely not be able to trap the other party, and he would be the one who would be in trouble in the end.

"When the being in the cage saw that you rejected its request for help, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and it roared and growled like thunder, vowing to kill you ants who dared to blaspheme the gods."

Jiang Xinghuo curled his lips, thinking that maybe he had been trapped for too long and his brain had become less sharp. He thought, "Why don't you hold on for a little longer? Your true colors are exposed so quickly. Who can let you out?"
Unfortunately, he didn't extort any good things from the other party, and he didn't know where this guy came from. He was trapped here by the Lord of the Secular World. This reminded him of the outer ghosts and gods in the Wuyou Cave ruins, who were also trapped there by the Lord of the Secular World. Could it be that both parties came from the same place? ?

There is also the earliest appearing Star God, who is also a monster born from the starry sky outside the secular world.

These people seem to have some unknown connection with the outer space.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things, new text messages popped up in the game.

"What are you going to do with this cage next?"

"Do you plan to take down the talisman outside and untie the dragon-locking cone on the creature? Or bury it underground in a place where it cannot be seen by the sun, so that others will not find it here and discover it?"

"If you choose the former, then the hundreds of golden talisman papers will all be yours. Whether you use them yourself or sell them to others, you can earn a considerable amount of money."

“But if you do this, the ancient star god trapped in the cage will break free, and then there will be another bloody storm.”

"But what does that have to do with you? You are a creature of a race exiled from the secular world. The life and death of the secular world has nothing to do with you. You can even cooperate with the other party and jointly complete your revenge on this world."

"So, what choice will you make? You know, once you do something, there is no chance to turn back. Even if you are willing to pay the corresponding price, the past can never be undone."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. If it were when he first entered the game, he might really be able to help the other party out of the predicament.

But he can't do that now, because based on the clues and discoveries known now, all the circumstances indicate that what happened back then might have a mystery behind it and it's not as simple as the game background says.

He once suspected that this was a conspiracy between the Lord of the secular world and those human strongmen, a conspiracy to compete with those ancient strongmen such as Shanhe Jishi Zhenjun, and even third-party forces.

But these were just his guesses and speculations, and he had not found any definite evidence to prove them. Perhaps only after entering the Forbidden City would he have the opportunity to find evidence to prove those things.

"You chose to bury the cage underground again, using the power of the dragon vein to drag it hundreds of feet underground. There is also a dark river rushing above it, which can cover up the sound coming from the cage. In particular, there are many monsters wandering in the dark river, some of which are terrifying beings with hundreds of years of cultivation. Anyone who wants to dig out this prison will have to face their anger and interception."

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo left the secret room and controlled the character to restore it to its original state.

"Where are you going to explore next?"

"Be careful. After losing the Xiantian Qi Mother, the fog in Qianlong Mansion will also disappear. It will soon attract the attention of others. Within three days, this news will spread throughout the entire Beiping City. By then, many people will come here to explore, and Qianlong Mansion will be completely exposed to everyone."

Three days?

enough.

Jiang Xinghuo planned to use the remaining two days to explore all the places that could be explored in Qianlong Mansion, and then leave here to let others come and explore the mines.

But before that, he had to go to the Eight Directions Spirit Tower first and hand over the Innate Qi Mother and Ambergris to the clone of the King of Medicine, so that he could help him refine the Innate Restoration Pill, so as to avoid any further trouble and other accidents.
