My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 593 Dragon Court
Jiang Xinghuo was about to leave Guandong City, but he didn't expect something strange to happen suddenly. Looking at the two options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and made his own decision.

"You chose to go to the source of the sound and find out."

"But you were surprised to find that under this terrifying pressure, the power in your body was greatly suppressed. The power of many spells was greatly weakened. The divine movement method also became extremely slow at this moment, and it could not exert the power it should have."

"And it's not just you who has experienced this change. Other monsters have also sensed something unusual, and the power in their bodies has been suppressed to a great extent."

"But you noticed at this time that the only magic that was not affected was the dragon-raising technique passed down by the imperial court in the secular world."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that Guandong was the birthplace of the secular dynasty, and the dragon-raising technique was a secret secret of the dynasty. Could it be that this sudden change had some connection with the Lord of the Secular World? ?
"You have activated the Dragon Raising Technique: Dragon Vein Chapter."

"Although the Divine Movement Technique has lost its original function, you have made great progress in the Dragon Veins Chapter and can now skillfully use the power of the Dragon Veins to increase your speed when traveling."

"With the blessing of the dragon vein's power, your speed has also been greatly improved. You quickly left the other monsters behind and headed northeastwards where the loud noise came from."

"You have arrived at Jiuding Mountain."

"Jiuding Mountain is a large mountain in the secular world of Guandong. Although countless legends have been spawned from ancient times to the present, there is nothing magical about it on weekdays, not even spiritual beasts."

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Jiuding Mountain feeds countless lives in the surrounding area. During every festival, the surrounding mountain folks would come and kowtow three times to the mountain respectfully and burn a stick of incense to thank the mountain god who may or may not exist."

"But I don't know what happened today. There was such a loud noise all of a sudden. And as time went on, the powerful pressure became more and more terrifying. Many monsters were affected by this pressure and subconsciously knelt on the ground and trembled. The stronger the cultivation of the monsters, the greater the impact."

"However, you found that there are still many people who don't seem to feel the threat brought by this power. Judging from the way these people are dressed, they are all mountain hunters living nearby. Not only are they not affected, but they can move freely. Even the injuries they had previously suffered have healed at a speed visible to the naked eye."

“You even saw a hunter who had lost his arm and eye and then grew his arm and eye back.”

"At the same time, you feel that the power of the Dragon Raising Technique in your body is also increasing slowly and evenly. Although the speed of increase is not fast, it feels very gentle to you, as if it is the power you have cultivated bit by bit, without any sense of awkwardness or rejection."

"You stopped a hunter passing by and asked him what happened and why such a change occurred?"

"While you were chatting with the hunter, he mentioned that there had been signs of this incident. Half a month ago, all the local hunters and mountain dwellers had a dream at the same time in the middle of the night. In the dream, there was a man in a tall hat and a wide belt, who claimed to be the mountain god of Jiuding Mountain. He said that Jiuding Mountain had changed recently, and told all the local hunters and mountain dwellers not to enter the mountain again, lest they accidentally hurt their lives."

"This continued for half a month, with the man appearing in their dreams every night. The villagers knew it was the mountain god who appeared in their dreams to prevent them from losing their lives, so they began to close the mountain and block the road a few days ago to prevent uninformed people from accidentally entering and losing their lives."

Mountain God?
In a dream?

Jiang Xinghuo felt that this matter was a little weird. Could it be that in today's secular world, there really were such noble and upright ancient gods?

If he had tricked these hunters into going into the mountains to die, he would have thought it was normal. However, not only did he not do that, but he had been telling them in their dreams for half a month not to go into the mountains. He also healed the wounds and illnesses of these mountain hunters after the incident at Jiuding Mountain. He did not seem like a god at all in this secular world where rituals and music were in chaos.

Instead, they are somewhat like the characters in ancient mythological novels, who regard the people's will as the will of heaven and the will of heaven as their own, helping the poor and the needy, rescuing lives from water and fire, and saving the people from imminent collapse.

At this time, new game text popped up.

"You triggered it, private investigator's notes."

"Remember the notes left by the private detective in Xishen City? There was a record of such a case. The person involved in that case was from Guandong City. He was also an experienced hunter. He got lost while hunting in the mountains and found several antiques with a long history. He was greedy and killed the hunter who was traveling with him. He took possession of those antiques with a long history alone."

"Later, in order to sell these antiques for a good price, the hunter came to Xishen City. This was because Xishen City was too far away from Kanto. Even if he suddenly became rich here, he would have an excuse to publicize it and avoid bringing trouble upon himself."

"But on the night that the hunter arrived in Xishen City, he encountered an evil spirit in the inn. Not only did it take out his internal organs, but it also wrote the cause and effect of the incident on the wall in blood."

"Afterwards, the Xishen City Police Station came forward to collect the body and took care of the other party's funeral. The antiques and cultural relics also fell into the hands of the police station."

"Later, a private detective used his connections to privately check out those antiques and found that they all came from craftsmanship within the palace."

"And judging from the craftsmanship and style, it should be from the period of Emperor Taizu, so the private detective speculated that there might be a secret treasure or mausoleum left by Emperor Taizu on Jiuding Mountain."

"What are you going to choose next?"

"Because you possess the Dragon Raising Technique, you are not affected by the pressure from all around and can smoothly enter Jiuding Mountain to conduct an investigation."

"But even if you are not affected by these pressures, the creature that may release this kind of pressure will be an extremely terrifying existence. If you encounter it, you may die directly in it. So, do you want to enter Jiuding Mountain to explore?"

The game gives two options, go into the mountains and leave.

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth, feeling that this matter was somewhat difficult. He had no idea what would happen if he went into the mountain, but he would be unwilling to leave.

But if we choose to go into the mountains, no one can predict what will happen next.

Maybe you can get some rich rewards and gains, or maybe you will find nothing and it will be a wasted trip.

But what he was most worried about was what if he got trapped inside?

He now puts all his focus on the City of Origin. The time is almost up. If something unexpected happens, he will be so upset that he won't know how to cry.

In the end, Jiang Xinghuo suppressed the urge in his heart and chose to leave Jiuding Mountain and go to other places.

But at this moment, a message about the Nine Deaths Cicada suddenly popped up in the game text.

"Your Nine Deaths Cicada Shell Taoism has also been improved, and your practice of the Dragon Breeding Technique in the Dragon Transformation Chapter has made some progress."

Seeing the text information about the Nine-Death Cicada, Jiang Xinghuo seemed to have thought of something. He immediately found the Rishui from his magic bag and clicked on it to use it.

"You have activated Risui's talent."

The moment the game text flashed by, Jiang Xinghuo felt his consciousness being infinitely pulled away again. When he came to his senses again, he had already arrived in front of a towering mountain.

A divine light flickered in the small pupil of his right eye, reflecting the name of the mountain.

"Jiuding Mountain..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked back again, and saw many monsters and demons around him.

But most of them knelt on the ground, and only a few could barely maintain a standing posture, with their legs trembling, as if they were carrying a thousand-pound boulder on their backs.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't have any obvious feeling. Then he walked into the lush and verdant Jiuding Mountain in front of him under the gaze of those monsters.

After entering the mountains, Jiang Xinghuo did not explore rashly. Instead, he used the power of the dragon-raising technique to find a hidden cave, then awakened the nine-dead cicada shell and transferred his consciousness to it.

After a moment, the Nine-Dead Cicada Shell slowly opened its eyes, and Jiang Xinghuo, whose body was lying on the ground, felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

But he did not care too much about it. He hid his body representing the game character, picked up the magic bag and put it away carefully, then pasted various talismans around it, and finally sealed the entrance of the cave completely. However, when observing from the outside, you could not tell that there was a cave here.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to walk towards the top of the mountain.

However, before going deeper into Jiuding Mountain to explore, Jiang Xinghuo dissipated Risui's talent, and the projection of his consciousness collapsed and dissipated, returning to the folk shop in the real world.

"Do you want to continue exploring Jiuding Mountain?"

A text interaction popped up on the game screen.

"It's done!"

After Jiang Xinghuo saw this text, he knew that his plan was successful.

It was after he saw the text of the Nine-Death Cicada that he came up with this idea, which was to use the Nine-Death Cicada's molt to explore Jiuding Mountain. The body represented by the game character was hidden in a hidden and safe place.

In this way, even if any accidents occur during the exploration process, only the Nine-Lives Cicada Shell will be affected. Even if it is trapped somewhere else, as long as the consciousness is transferred back to the original body, it can leave Jiuding Mountain and go to other places without causing any impact. Afterwards, just come back and collect the Nine-Lives Cicada Shell.

Moreover, even if the Nine-Lives Cicada Shell died in Jiuding Mountain, the Substitute Straw Man and Dog Food would trigger the corresponding effects and would not become unusable.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xinghuo dared to use the Nine-Death Cicada Shell to step on the thunder. The main reason was that he was worried about being trapped inside Jiuding Mountain and missing the opening of the City of Origin on the Jingzhe Day.

Now that he has no worries, he can naturally let go and explore.

"You chose to continue exploring deeper into Jiuding Mountain."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You walk to the middle of the mountain, and suddenly you see a foggy cloud in front of you. A headless creature slowly emerges from behind the fog. On its neck is a red vortex of eternal confusion, and dark red flames are burning all over its body. The trees and stones it passes by will instantly turn into ashes and dissipate..."

"You found an immortal chef who was contaminated by the fire of insanity. His official robe with flower feathers was already tattered. He was walking towards you. His unconscious wandering could contaminate everything in his path."

"How do you plan to deal with this immortal chef who has been contaminated by the fire of insanity?"

"Will you choose to temporarily avoid its edge and make way for it to pass, or will you activate the power of the Golden Law and help it break free from its crazy confusion?"

The game gave two optional answers. Jiang Xinghuo took a look and chose the latter without much thought.

"You activated the fragments of the Golden Law in your body. The Golden Law that once protected all living beings in the secular world once again exerted its original authority and power, freeing this poor man of madness from his confusion."

"You saw the body of the Immortal Chef gradually turning into ashes under the Golden Law, but its soul was relieved and relaxed as never before. You took the opportunity to touch the corpse before its ashes completely dissipated, and you found something on its remains."

"You have obtained the key to the Immortal Kitchen."

"The Immortal Kitchen is the predecessor of the Imperial Kitchen. It is also the birthplace of the Guanglu Temple and the Shang Food Bureau. The three major food organizations in the secular world all originated from this place. Legend has it that this is the food organization established by the first imperial dynasty in the secular world, the Dragon Court. All the major food organizations in later generations are its disciples."

"It is said that the reason why the ancestors of the Lord of the World were able to successfully destroy the previous dynasty and establish their own worldly dynasty was because they obtained the legacy left by the Dragon Court in the past, including the nine secret techniques of raising dragons, which were also obtained by Emperor Taizu from the ruins of the Dragon Court."

"But although this rumor has been circulating for a long time, no one knows whether it is true or not."

"You now have the key to the Immortal Kitchen, which means that as long as you can find the Immortal Kitchen, you can enter freely and explore it."

"Moreover, judging from the direction this Immortal Kitchen Officer is wandering from, the Immortal Kitchen is most likely hidden behind the fog ahead, and even the Dragon Court Ruins may be in it."

“Do you still want to keep going?”

Jiang Xinghuo chose to move forward without hesitation.

He has already come here, why should he retreat?

Moreover,

He was also very interested in the newly opened map of Longting.

Before this, no other player should have triggered this map. I just happened to be in Kanto Castle at that time, so I was able to get here in the shortest time possible.

I believe that it won’t be long before the news of this map spreads, and players from other places will surely come here in an endless stream.

He must take advantage of this rare opportunity and find a way to enter the Dragon Court ruins and take away the precious things inside.

There isn't much time left for him.

Guandong City is the most prominent city in the world, not much inferior to cities in Jiangnan, Beiping, Lingnan and other places.

There are probably quite a few players entrenched here.

Maybe those players are rushing here. Under the premise that most spells are suppressed, I, who have mastered the dragon-raising technique, am the real cheater. It would be too embarrassing if I fall behind others.

"You walked into the fog in front of you without hesitation, and a collapsed ruin appeared in front of you. Judging from the scale and structure of the ruins, it is even larger than the Forbidden City, but most of the buildings are in ruins. There are also many creatures that have suffered the same fate as the Immortal Food Officer, wandering unconsciously among the broken walls."

"Do you want to mobilize the power of the Golden Law to free them from their suffering?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes.

He controlled the game character to activate the power of the Golden Law, freeing those monsters from their confusion while also gaining a lot of things from them. However, not many of them were really useful, and only a few might be helpful for the next exploration.

"You have obtained the Dragon Court Order."

"Dragon Court Order (special item), a token given by the Lord of Dragon Court to his offspring. With this order, one can freely enter and leave the Dragon Court Palace without being affected by the power of the end of all things."

Jiang Xinghuo noticed that the game text mentioned the term 'the power of the end of all things'.

He remembered that this term was mentioned many times in the game text related to the Forbidden City. He thought that this so-called power of the end of all things was the power of madness that permeated the Forbidden City. It was the power of the end that was derived after the death of the Lord of the Secular World.

But judging from the description of this Dragon Court Order, it seems that this is not the case. This kind of power seems to have always existed and is lingering in the royal court! !
Jiang Xinghuo continued to push the plot forward with this doubt in his mind.

"You pass the collapsed ruins around you and continue walking along the ancient bluestone road under your feet..."

"A magnificent ancient city gradually appears in front of your vision. It is a huge city that is more magnificent than the Forbidden City. It stands in the mist in the distance. You can vaguely see countless decaying gray-white dragon qi circling above and around the ancient city, releasing a terrifying pressure like the waves of a raging sea."

"And the grayish-white decayed dragon energy you felt was exactly the same as the dragon-raising technique you practiced. It seemed to be the dragon veins that the master of the dragon-raising technique transformed with his own aura."

"You have discovered the ruins of the Dragon Court."

"This is the ruins of the imperial city left by the first dynasty of the ancient secular world, 'Longting'. It is also the beginning of all dynasties on earth. The first secular master was born in this ancient imperial city."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to enter this ancient dragon court to explore? Or will you just search outside and not step into the dragon court ahead?"

The game gives two options, go in and leave.

If the real body was here, Jiang Xinghuo would really have to hesitate whether to enter the Dragon Court to explore.

But now he is using the body of a nine-death cicada, so there is no need to worry about these problems.

Especially after the upgrade, the Nine-Death Cicada can make its own body virtual and avoid most attacks, which provides a strong guarantee for the subsequent exploration.

"You chose to explore the Dragon Court ruins in depth."

"Although you have the power of the Dragon Raising Technique to be immune to the pressure released by the gray-white dragon energy, the closer you get to this ancient city, the more you can feel the pressure brought by the ancient city itself. It is as if what is standing in front of you right now is not a lifeless goose, but a ferocious dragon that has been dormant for who knows how many years, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap."

"You have been affected by the power of the end of all things."

"You have triggered the Dragon Court Order."

"A power that is of the same origin as the power of the end of all things gradually emanates from the token, making you immune to the influence of the power of the end of all things. At the same time, you find that this power is very similar to your Golden Law, but it is fundamentally different." "The core power of the Golden Law is blessing and protection. It is the fundamental power to maintain the rules and order of the secular world."

"But the power of the end of all things that you sensed is full of the power of killing and ending. It runs completely counter to the power of the Golden Law and goes in two extreme directions."

"You try to activate the Golden Law in your body, and the power of protection and protection spreads out. The moment it comes into contact with the power of the end, a violent conflict immediately occurs. The terrifying power sweeps out, razing everything around it to the ground."

"If you hadn't transformed your body into nothingness at the critical moment and avoided most of the direct impact, you would have been reduced to ashes. But even so, you were seriously injured and had to stop and rest for a while."

Wow, that's weird! !

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text, found the medicine gourd in the magic bag, gave himself a sip of it, and made up for the lost blood.

This time, Jiang Xinghuo had learned from his last experience and lessons and no longer actively activated the power of the Golden Law.

This also reminded him that although the Golden Law was the power left by the Lord of the secular world and could maintain order in the secular world, there might be forces that could counter it, just like the power of the end of all things was enough to counter the Golden Law.

"What are you going to do now??"

"Do you want to explore deep into the Dragon Court ruins?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes and controlled the character to continue rushing forward. With the Dragon Court Order on his body, the power of the end that permeated the ancient city could no longer cause him any harm.

However, he has the Dragon Court Order to ensure his own safety, but other monsters and players are not so lucky.

"You are walking towards the Dragon Court in front of you, and suddenly you hear footsteps coming from behind you. Several powerful monsters have also arrived here, followed by several exiles from the same tribe as you."

"After they saw the ruins of the Dragon Court, their eyes flashed with excitement and they immediately ran towards the ancient city. However, when they were still about a hundred meters away from you, they were enveloped by the power of the end of all things. The exiles instantly turned into ashes and dispersed. The remaining monsters held on for a while longer, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being reduced to ashes."

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, thinking that this death was too quick. If he didn't have the Dragon Court Order, his end would not have been much better.

I just don't know if those players in the real world will also be affected after being killed by the power of the end.

.........

Beijing, headquarters of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

Three floors underground.

Several investigators who were sleeping in the machinery cabin suddenly groaned in pain, and various instruments around them also made dripping sounds.

Immediately afterwards, dark red flames began to burn on the bodies of those investigators, and the heads on their necks instantly exploded into a vortex of dust.

But the next moment, a golden light emanated from the mechanical cabin, enveloping the investigators who were contaminated by the epilepsy fire. In just a few minutes, the epilepsy fire on the investigators' bodies dissipated, and the dust vortexes on their necks returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, other investigators came over and helped the person out of the engine room.

"How about it?"

A white-haired old man came over and asked.

"It's okay, but this feeling is a bit scary..."

An investigator touched his neck with lingering fear and said, "At that moment, I really thought I was going to die. The power of the end of all things is too terrible. Without the Golden Law, it would be difficult to resist that power."

Another investigator added: "Even if there is the Golden Law, I think it will be difficult. The power of the end in the Dragon Court Ruins feels very similar to the Golden Law. Maybe they come from the same source. It may not be able to resist the invasion of the power of the end."

"Moreover, this is only the power we felt outside the Dragon Court Ruins. There is still a long distance to the interior of the ruins. If we really enter the ruins, even the Golden Law may not be able to save us."

"Professor Zhou, there is one more thing I need to tell you..."

At this time, the investigator who spoke first said, "Besides us, there seemed to be another player there. He didn't seem to be affected by the power of the end. Not only was he very close to the ancient city, but the dragon energy around him also had no effect on him."

"you sure??"

The white-haired Professor Zhou's face suddenly froze.

"Sure!"

The investigator said in a decisive tone.

"There are basically three possibilities for this situation. First, he has obtained some kind of token from the Dragon Court, so he is not affected by the power of the end. Second, he is a practitioner of the dragon-raising technique of the secular dynasty, so the dragon energy has no effect on him. Third, he has a sufficient number of golden laws."

Professor Zhou looked at the document in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I personally tend to think that he has all three. At least he meets two possibilities. Otherwise, he would not be able to resist the dragon energy and not be affected by the power of the end."

"Immediately have our people project their consciousness over there and guard the area around Jiuding Mountain. When he comes out, we will stop him and try to bring him into our camp. Even at the worst possible outcome, we must ensure that he remains neutral and we absolutely cannot allow him to join other organizations."

"Also, draw his appearance immediately and see if you can find him in real life."

But after a moment, everyone in the research room fell silent.

Because the portraits drawn by these investigators are completely different. Not only are their ages and appearances different, but their heights, weights, and even genders are also different.

Such an obvious difference cannot be a problem of painting technique.

Professor Zhou sighed and said, "It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time. He should have props that can change his physical features, so that no one else can find him."

"Now what?"

"We will proceed as planned and try to win them over to our side. If that doesn't work, we won't allow them to join other organizations."

"Yes!!"

.........

Inside the folk shop.

Jiang Xinghuo was half sitting and half lying on the sofa, completely unaware of what was happening in the Public Opinion Survey Bureau. He had already entered the interior of the Longting Ruins.

"You have entered the Dragon Court Ruins."

"You walked into this ancient city that has existed for who knows how many years. Everywhere you look are simple yet luxurious buildings. Some are well preserved, but many have collapsed and fallen into disrepair over the years."

"But when you go over and take a look, you'll find that only a few of the collapsed ruins are damaged because of the passage of time, with the pillars and beams broken. Most of the remaining buildings were smashed by external forces, and there are still a lot of remains buried under the ruins."

"This means that a long time ago, a world-shattering war took place here. Judging from these remaining traces, everyone who participated in the war could easily kill you. With the strength you have shown at this moment, you are not qualified to participate in that battle at all."

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo was speechless, thinking to himself, if you want to talk to me, just talk nicely, why did you drag me into this? I was shot for no reason even when I was lying down.

But this also shows how brutal the battle that took place here was.

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly thought of the Forbidden City.

The battle that took place in the Forbidden City that year changed the history of the secular world. The Lord of the secular world fell in the night of dawn, and the dynasty he ruled also disappeared in history. Only an empty Forbidden City was left, located in the center of the secular land of Peking, showing its former glory and majesty, just like this dilapidated ancient city of Longting.

"You continue to explore further..."

"You have come to the Immortal Kitchen in the northwest corner of the Dragon Court. The dusty door is locked tightly with an iron chain. After being tempered by the power of the end, it has long become indestructible. If you don't have the key, you can't enter at all."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description of the game text, he immediately took out the key from the magic bag and clicked to use it.

"You have used the key to the fairy kitchen."

"You opened the immortal kitchen that had been sealed for a long time."

"The Immortal Kitchen is nominally the place in charge of the meals of the royal family, but in reality it is as big as a town. It sells oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, melons, fruits, five flavors, and vegetarian dishes. All the raw materials are produced and sold by the company. They are never purchased from outside. As a result, the Immortal Kitchen is rich in products and you can basically find all kinds of trades here."

Wow, what a grand ceremony!
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Lord of Dragon Court was really particular. He even moved the entire vegetable market into his home and produced and sold the special products himself.

If this happened to the ancient emperors of Earth, the wolf-hair brush in the historian's hand would definitely not let them off.

"Where do you choose to explore first?"

"You have now successfully opened some of the sub-maps of the Dragon Court Ruins, including the Food God's Tasting Shop, the Grain Shop of the Grain Fairy, the Salt God's Altar of the Salt God Shusha, the Buddha Jumping Temple of the Monk Xianxiang, the Shaobing Building of the Taoist Fire Spoon, the Firewood Field of the Woodcutter... In total, there are about 365 sub-maps to explore."

I'm good!

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the number of maps displayed behind the text, his eyes widened in shock.

He still underestimated the scale of the Immortal Kitchen. There were more than three hundred or nearly four hundred maps. Even if he explored and opened up ten maps every day, it would take more than a month to explore all the maps in the Immortal Kitchen.

Moreover, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Longting ruins.

A cooking place is so large, if it is replaced by more important places, such as the place where the Lord of Dragon Court handles government affairs, or the three palaces and six courtyards of the Lord of Dragon Court, the two north and south floors, and the seventy-two halls, how large would it be? ?
Judging from the information currently known, this Xianshanfang is enough to compete with Guandong and Jiangnan, and its scale is even larger than these two major cities in the north and south.

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly understood why the ancestors of the Lord of the Secular World were able to overthrow the rule of the ancient emperor of the previous dynasty and establish such a large secular dynasty.

Even if it only obtained one percent of the treasures of the Dragon Court, it would probably be enough to have the ability to dominate the secular world.

"Where do you plan to explore first?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the maps given in the game text, glanced at them from beginning to end, and the first thing he set his sights on was the entrance to the Salt Altar of the Susha clan.

The reason is very simple. Among all the maps he has never touched, only the Salt God has some contact with him.

When the Yellow River Underground Palace was being explored, a thief named Ye Feilong came from Guandong. He worshipped the salt god Susha in his own lair.

Later, when he went there, he found the Salt Altar, which really helped him a lot. It can be said to be the best weapon for killing people and robbing.

However, it was later contaminated by the crazy fire, and many props were burned to ashes, including this salt altar. Since then, he has not touched the same props.

I can take this opportunity to visit the Salt Altar and see if I can get another Salt Altar.

It would be better to get a few more, and then unfold the limbs to form a Dharma image, with each arm holding a salt altar.

No matter what kind of monster it is, it will turn you into a salt statue. Even if you can withstand the invasion of salt and sand, you will surely be severely damaged, and you will be the one who benefits in the end.

"You chose to go to the Salt God Altar of the Salt God Susha clan."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You came across several corpses of spoon-tumbling thieves whose bodies were half broken along the way. Do you want to go over and search their bodies?"

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and walked over.

"You searched the bodies of those spoon-twisting people and found something."

"You have obtained the corpse of the chef (common), the secret book of controlling the temperature (excellent), the eight-treasure pot (excellent), the thousand-year fire (excellent), the key to the back door of the Xianshan Building (special), and the robes of the chief chef (rare)."

"The corpse of the chef who stirs the food (common material). The chef stirs the food in the kitchen of Shanxianlou. Because he stirs the food in front of the stove all year round, he not only has a strong body, but also his skin is a place where all kinds of flavors converge. He is most popular among those diners who like heavy tastes. He can also be used as a raw material for refining pills. It has the effects of stimulating the appetite, relieving fatigue, and increasing appetite."

"The Secret Book of Controlling the Heat (Excellent Item). The chef in the kitchen of Shanxianlou is the best at controlling the heat. One point more will make the food overcooked, and one point less will make the food raw. This is also the skill that Shanxianlou apprentices dream of. After using this, you can easily master the experience of controlling the heat."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

The place he is exploring now is Longting's Xianshanfang. Who knows when this ability will come in handy. At worst, leaving here and heading to the south of the Yangtze River will also be helpful when exploring the Guanglu Temple.

"You have used the secret of controlling the temperature of fire."

"You have successfully mastered the control of the heat and the ability to stir the wok with the oil temperature. Your cooking skills have also improved slightly, +2."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded with satisfaction and continued to look at other things.

"Eight Treasure Pot (excellent item) is a kitchen utensil that can automatically adjust the temperature according to the user's wishes, and can ensure the freshness of food to the greatest extent possible, while reducing the loss of moisture inside the food. In addition, it can automatically adjust the temperature according to the user's habits."

"Millennium Fire (excellent material), a special kind of fire developed by the Hunxiang Monk. Although the surface temperature released is not high, it can ensure that it will not go out for a long time. It is most suitable for stewing meat dishes. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is the specialty of the Hunxiang Monk, is stewed with this flame."

Tsk, after all, he is the master chef cooking in the kitchen, and everything he does is very traditional.

"Key to the back door of Shanxian Building (special item). Shanxian Building is a place where the royal family prepares meals. Outsiders are not allowed to enter through the front door. Only the back door is left for transporting goods in and out of the kitchen. This key is used to open the back door."

Jiang Xinghuo knew that this was the key prop to unlock the new map, so he put it into his magic bag.

Finally, only the chef's robe was left.

This prop actually made Jiang Xinghuo feel quite strange. The fact that a chef's apron could reach rare quality was enough to show how extraordinary this prop was.

"The chief chef's robe (rare item). This is the robe worn by the chief chef of Shanxianlou. It is not only a symbol of status, but also a proof of power. All chefs and cooks will obey his orders. It is made of the skin of rebellious ghosts and gods. The surface is smooth and soft, and it is stain-free.
