My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 560 Yun Mengze

Jiang Xinghuo remembered that he had seen the same thing in the Volcanic Prison in the underworld. The Martial Lord's little disciple Fangtooth Fairy and the Fire Dragon Gu Master, a disciple of the Nanyang Wanjiao Zhenjun, both died there in their efforts to fight for the origin of the Volcanic Prison.

However, the Fire Dragon Gu raised by the Fire Dragon Gu Master has been cultivated to the Mahayana stage, which is far from comparable to the Gu worm raised by the Ghost-faced Buddha.

But just as described in the game text, being weak also has its advantages. At least there is not so much toxicity in the body, so it can be utilized to the maximum extent.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo activated the Shen Ji Order again and teleported to the blacksmith shop of Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian, and handed the fire dragon Gu larva to the other party.

"The Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian looked at the larvae of the Fire Dragon Gu and said that the scales on its body can be used as forging materials, but its flesh and blood are useless. You can go find a medicine shop or alchemy workshop, maybe they can be of some use."

"Master Shen Ji Bai Lian peeled off the scales of the Fire Dragon Gu and prepared to fuse some of the scales with the silk armor on your body."

"Ding-dong..."

"The scales of the Fire Dragon Gu have completely merged with your silk armor."

"The level of your silk armor has been improved by +2."

"Water and Fire Silk Armor (Excellent Item), this armor has abandoned all defensive capabilities and has improved its temperature resistance. It can not only resist scorching heat, but also severe cold."

"As for the remaining scale fragments, the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian still has some use for them. He asked you to come back in half a month. He is currently working on a new gadget and is in need of an experimenter. If you have time, you can come and study with him."

After the Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian finished his work, Jiang Xinghuo brought the flesh and blood of the Fire Dragon Gu to the Ling Tower and found the incarnation of the Medicine King.

There is probably no pharmacist in the world who is more powerful than the Medicine King. Instead of giving the Fire Dragon Gu to other people, it is better to give it to this big guy, so that he can make the best use of it and maybe he can refine some rare elixirs.

"You gave the flesh and blood of the Fire Dragon Gu to the Medicine King's clone. The Medicine King also asked you to come back in half a month. By then, he can refine the flesh and blood into pills."

After solving the problem of the fire dragon insect larvae, Jiang Xinghuo continued to count several other things.

"Dragon King Buddha Glass Beads (rare item), the prayer beads left behind by the Nanyang Dragon King Buddha after his death, made from snake bones. There is nothing special about them, but because they have been immersed in Buddhism for many years, they have developed a bit of spirituality. Carrying them on your body can prevent snake and insect attacks, and can also be used to control snake creatures."

"A Buddha amulet blessed by the Four-Faced Buddha (a rare item). The Four-Faced Buddha is a native deity of Southeast Asia, also known as the Four-Faced God. He has the power to make wishes and will grant them. However, for every wish that is fulfilled, he will take something from the wisher, perhaps lifespan, perhaps an organ, or perhaps something else."

"The Great Saint Huan Xitian's tattoo baseplate (rare item), a treasure passed down in the Nanyang tattoo lineage, with the Great Saint Huan Xitian's pattern imprinted on it, which can give the tattooer the ability to regenerate broken limbs."

"According to legend, this is the inspiration that the Nanyang tattoo master got from the stone carvings of the dragon-raising technique. All you need to do is cover your body with the baseplate image to gain the blessing of the Nanyang deity, the Great Saint Huanxitian."

"Do you want to use this picture of the Great Saint's Joyful Heaven?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose no.

He already had a peach blossom and thunder pattern tattoo on his body, but he was not interested in getting a tattoo of the elephant-nosed god. Besides, the Nanyang tattoo was too evil and not an upright way of spiritual practice, so it was better to stay away from it.

At this point, all the things found on the Ghost-Faced Buddha have been counted, but because the Ghost-Faced Buddha is a monster from the South Seas, he can basically use none of the things on his body.

The only two valuable things were the larvae of the fire-controlling poisonous insect and the string of glass beads. Jiang Xinghuo hung the rest in the niche shop and sold them.

The rare quality items sold for quite a bit of money, so I didn't lose money and the value of the neurotoxin was justified.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the time, strolled around Beiping City for a while, and then entered a semi-idle state, busying himself with opening the shop.

It was not until dusk that Jiang Xinghuo simply dealt with the things he had obtained during the day, using what needed to be used and selling what needed to be sold. Then he activated the shrine and returned to the mining city in the northwest.

"You have arrived, Mining Town."

"Please select where you want to go:"

Jiang Xinghuo ignored the sub-map option that popped up, and wandered around the city gate. The purpose of his coming here was to see the old farmer selling melons, to see if he could get any clues from him.

"You were wandering around the city gate, which attracted the attention of patrolmen. They suspected you had ill intentions and came over to ask if you were okay. You replied that you had nothing to do and just wanted to take in the scenery."

"You continued to wander around the city gate, and the patrolmen came over to ask you what was going on, but you still said that you had nothing to do."

"This time the patrolmen got angry and said you are a sick idiot."

"You wanted to continue... You saw the patrolman holding a machete and walking towards you, so you fled the scene in a hurry."

Jiang Xinghuo was not afraid of what would happen to them, but he was worried that if a conflict broke out, he would be put on the mining city's blacklist.

If we delay the things at hand by then, it will not be worth it.

Tsk tsk, Jiang Xinghuo curled his lips, what a bunch of violent people, I will definitely kill you if I get the chance.

"In order to avoid conflict with the patrol soldiers, you found a safe place where you could see the city gate and hid there."

"Waiting..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about an hour before new changes and content appeared in the game text.

"You see a figure coming out of the mining city. It is the old farmer you saw during the day. He is carrying two loads of melons on his shoulders. He staggered out of the city gate. After he walked out of the city, he stopped and looked around as if he was looking for something. In the end, he didn't see what he wanted to see. He shook his head in disappointment, picked up the melons and wanted to leave. Do you want to show up and see him off?"

"It's better to follow him quietly and reappear in a deserted place. No one will see you in the wilderness anyway. Even if you kill him in the mountains, it won't bring you any trouble."

The game gives two options: either show up and give the old farmer a ride, or follow the old farmer quietly.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. He directly controlled the character to walk out and collided head-on with the old farmer selling melons.

"You walked out of the woods beside the official road and took over the burden from the old farmer. When the old farmer saw you, a smile appeared on his face. He thought you would not come here again."

"You gave a brief explanation, saying that you had to hide in the nearby woods to avoid those troublesome patrolmen. But when you saw him coming out, you came over immediately."

"The old farmer said that he lives not far from here. He is old and weak now and has no strength. He hopes you can help him carry the burden back. Do you want to follow the old farmer to his residence?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and thought about it carefully. He felt that there shouldn't be any problem. The worst result would be death at the hands of the opponent.

Besides, if they really turned against each other and started fighting, how could he not beat an old farmer? Although he didn't know what race the other party came from and he didn't have the talent of Tathagata, he still had some confidence in himself. Even though he couldn't fully show his strength because of the effect of Xiantian Tufo Pill, the evil spirits in the acupoints were not vegetarians.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinghuo clicked yes and followed the old farmer back to his residence.

"On the way, please wait..." But after walking for half an hour, the game progress has hardly advanced. Every five minutes or so, a reminder that the game is on the way will pop up.

Jiang Xinghuo waited patiently for another half an hour, but still did not reach his destination. During this time, he even took the time to prepare himself a sumptuous dinner.

Until about 7:30 in the evening.

When Jiang Xinghuo was watching a video on another phone, the game suddenly made a sound and a new message popped up on the screen.

"You have arrived at the wooden house of the old melon farmer."

"The old farmer asked you to put down your burden and invited you to sit in his home. Do you want to go in with him?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes.

"You followed the old farmer into the wooden house. The old farmer brought you a bowl of soup, saying it could clear away heat, quench thirst and eliminate fatigue."

"Do you want to drink this bowl of soup?"

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the real secret of this seemingly plain soup."

"You have discovered it, Huiyuan Tang."

"Hui Yuan Soup (a precious consumable item) is a soup made from a mixture of hundreds of flowers and fruits mixed with royal jelly. After drinking it, you can quickly restore your physical strength and the mana you have consumed. It can also nourish the blood in your body. It has a hundred benefits and no harm."

"According to some unreliable rumors in the secular world, Huiyuan Soup seems to have come from the legendary Yunmeng Lake, but there has never been any definite evidence."

"You have triggered the storyteller's golden collection of books."

"You want to know the entry information about [Yunmengze]."

"Searching for terms, please wait..."

"The search is complete."

"Based on your existing storyteller permissions, a new entry is being edited for you. Please wait..."

"Entry editing completed."

"You have obtained relevant clues about Yunmengze."

"Yunmengze is one of the three great swamps in the world. Its exact location is unknown. Only the real creatures of Yunmengze know the location of this mysterious place. It is suspected to be a relic left over from the old secular world."

"In the lost books of the old secular world, there are also records about Yunmeng Lake, which is also called the [Yunmeng Fairyland]."

"It is said that all living creatures in the secular world, as long as they have a chance to become immortal, can go to Yunmeng Lake and gain immortality. They can roam freely in the sea of ​​clouds, and nothing in the secular world can affect them."

“However, the word ‘fate’ is illusory. There have been many high-level Taoists and immortals who have wanted to find the trace of Yunmeng Lake, but they have spent their entire lives trying to find its location. Some people stumbled upon it by accident, and when they woke up from a dream, they were already in Yunmeng Lake, thus getting rid of the pain of birth, aging, sickness and death.”

After reading the description of Yunmengze, Jiang Xinghuo was also shocked. This Yunmengze has a very impressive origin. It is actually a relic of the previous secular civilization and is also known as the fairyland.

More importantly, according to the entries in the Golden Chamber Collection, as long as you enter the Yunmengze, you can gain the ability of immortality. I am afraid that no one can resist this temptation.

There are also the so-called three lakes in the world. Lei Lake is one, Yunmeng Lake is also one, so what is the remaining big lake?
Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the Golden Chamber Collection and wanted to search for relevant information, but to his surprise, the Golden Chamber Collection gave a prompt that the authority was insufficient.

"You are unable to directly query the relevant information for some special reason."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. According to his inner guess, there were roughly two reasons for this situation.

Either the level of the remaining swamp is too high, and its danger and rarity are greater than Yunmengze and Lei Ze.

Or maybe there aren’t enough clues, so the information about the last Daze cannot be triggered.

Jiang Xinghuo thought it was most likely the latter. The reason why he was able to trigger the plot of Lei Ze and Yunmeng Ze was because during the exploration of the game, he obtained clues related to these two swamps, thus triggering the subsequent plot interaction.

It seems that if we want to know the information about the last big swamp, we will have to wait for future exploration.

but……

Back to the topic.

Jiang Xinghuo took another look at the description of Huiyuan Decoction. Since this prescription might have come from Yunmengze, how did the old farmer get it?

by chance?

Or……

This old farmer is actually from Yunmengze?
Thinking of this,

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling as if he had discovered a clue to a high-level copy mission by accident.

Of course, these were just his guesses, and the game text did not give a clear explanation. Perhaps all of this was just his own random guessing, and it was not the case at all.

However, this bowl of Huiyuan soup is something you cannot miss.

"You drank the Hui Yuan Soup in the black porcelain bowl. The warm power gradually spread throughout your body and began to restore your lost strength and energy. Even the medicinal properties of the Xiantian Fu Tai Dan were refined by this power, shortening the time it takes to transform your Xiantian power."

"Your physical strength is slightly improved, +1."

"Your energy is slightly increased, +1."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Should I take the initiative to bring up the topic of Yunmeng Lake? Or should I just have a casual chat with this old melon farmer?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it would be better to be cautious. The other party had taken the trouble to lure him home, and if there was something, he wouldn't have to worry about it, as the other party would take the initiative to mention it.
