My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 602 Tracing the Light
Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it was fortunate that he ran fast. If he had been blocked by it, he would not have had time to escape and would have died a miserable death.

"What are your options next?"

"Would you choose to find a safe place and count the spoils in your pocket? Or would you sneak back and continue exploring Xinglong Villa?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that the little yellow fox had gone over for a stroll, so any good stuff he had would probably have been brought back by him.

However, it is not ruled out that there are some valuable things covered in dust that cannot be detected by the naked eye. In that case, you can only use your own Tathagata storehouse to find them.

But there is no need to rush. It won't be too late to go back after the old yellow-skinned man leaves. Going back now would be walking into a trap, in other words, seeking death.

"You found a relatively well-preserved building, walked in, locked the door from the inside, and began to count the items in the big bag. You also counted the items you found on Huang Xiaojiu's body."

"After a careful investigation, you have gained something and found some rare objects."

"You have obtained: a meat Tai Sui bag (rare), an undried mountain god spring branch (excellent), 30 bags of Xirang divine soil fertilizer (rare), a peach tree seed (rare), a ginseng fruit sapling (super rare), a silent flame mountain origin (rare), a quick-healing stone marrow ice jade bed (rare), a thousand-year-old ice heart jade coffin (rare), a copy of the dragon-raising technique (rare), a corpse of a foot fairy (rare), a secret book of the human skin fake shape technique (excellent), a protruding ear organ (excellent), and a book of strange ways to die (special)."

Wow, Huang Xiaojiu looked insignificant, but I didn’t expect him to have such a pair of good things on him. If he hadn’t been caught by me, he would have made a fortune.

But in the end, these things still benefited himself. Huang Xiaojiu worked in vain. Apart from sacrificing his own life, he got nothing else.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was about to look at these descriptions in detail, a piece of game text popped up on the screen again.

"You have triggered the talent of Kakui-no-Mimi."

"You accidentally pass by the wall next to you and accidentally discover that there is a layer behind the wall. It seems that there is something hidden. Do you want to open the wall to see what is hidden behind it?"

Any unexpected gains?

This discovery was somewhat beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations, so he immediately controlled the character to smash open the wall.

"You have obtained the Peach Color Secret Records of the Lord of the Dragon Court."

Um? ?

Jiang Xinghuo slowly typed out a few question marks, thinking how could this thing still be kept? Doesn’t the Lord of Dragon Court mind?

Or is this a private version compiled by myself?
"Open this history book that records the secret history of the Dragon Court Lord. As we all know, unofficial history may not be authentic, but it can be guaranteed to be wild enough."

"This book is written in a self-transmission style, and it records in detail the romantic affairs of the Lord of Dragon Court when he was young. Some parts are even too explicit to read, as if it was really written by the Lord of Dragon Court when he was free."

"But the signature at the end exposed the real author of this 'autobiography'. He was actually the most trusted sworn brother of the Lord of Dragon Court, and the Grand Historian who recorded and compiled the past history of Dragon Court."

"The Grand Historian of the Dragon Court and the Lord of the Dragon Court met when they were both in humble circumstances. They have saved each other's lives more than once, and they are all very familiar with some of the ridiculous things that happened to each other when they were young."

"So, although this book is mostly nonsense and is just a romantic novel to kill time, it also records some secrets unknown to the world. When you meet people or things related to the descriptions in the book, more interactive options and plots can be automatically triggered."

This is another regional prop, which may be helpful in the exploration process in the next mission.

As for what this Grand Historian did, Jiang Xinghuo did not want to comment.

All I can say is that having such brothers is a blessing for the Lord of Dragon Court, and it is the kind of blessing that you cannot obtain in eight lifetimes.

After putting away the secret record of the Lord of Dragon Court, Jiang Xinghuo began to count the things he had found.

"Meat Tai Sui Hundred-Number Bag (rare item), a pocket made from the skin of a mortal alien species called Meat Tai Sui. It can hold items far beyond its capacity and has the ability to self-repair."

"You can integrate it into your Tai Sui race's Taotie magic bag to improve the level and quality of the Tai Sui magic bag."

"Do you want to merge the two immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously wanted to choose yes, but when he was making the final choice, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly had an idea. Since Rou Taisui's magic bag can repair itself, can it be like some earthworms, which can be split into two parts and then recover independently, turning from one earthworm into two earthworms? ?

He had this idea when he first obtained the Tai Sui magic bag, but he was worried that it would cause irreversible damage to the magic bag, so he simply put the idea aside.

Now is a good time to verify this possibility.

He also specifically looked up relevant information about earthworms. There are about 2000 species of earthworms in the world.

Some of them do have a certain probability of regrow the missing parts after being cut off, and even become two living individuals. This is also a characteristic of annelids, which have super regenerative abilities.

After all, the Meat Tai Sui is an extraordinary life in the mortal world. Its vitality and regenerative ability should be stronger than that of the earthworm, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo gave up on integrating this pocket into the magic bag. Instead, he took it into reality, then took out the Evil Star Bite from his backpack and evenly divided the meat bag into five parts.

He did not dare to divide the things into too many pieces, for fear that it would exceed the self-repair ability of the Meat Tai Sui. Then he found a few unused boxes, put the pieces of Meat Tai Sui into the boxes, and placed them in different places in the magic bag.

And then it will just take time to slowly repair it, and I don’t know how long it will take.

But whether it succeeds or fails, it is no loss for Jiang Xinghuo, because it can be used as material to be incorporated into the magic bag anyway.

Continue counting.

"Undried Mountain God Spring Branch (Excellent Material), a branch of the Mountain God Spring, contains a trace of life essence. Drinking it regularly can increase your lifespan and also help crops grow faster."

"You can integrate this branch of the Mountain God Spring into the Medicine Fairy Gourd, thereby increasing the number of times the Medicine Fairy Gourd can be used and its level."

"Your Medicine Fairy Gourd's level has been increased by +2."

"You can use the Medicine Fairy Gourd to obtain the Mountain God Spring Water."

Jiang Xinghuo continued to push forward the text with satisfaction.

"Xiran Divine Soil Fertilizer (rare consumable material) can be used to accelerate the maturation of grain crops, allowing them to grow quickly in a short period of time, and there is a chance that ordinary grain crops can be transformed into spiritual roots."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the 30 bags of Xirang divine soil fertilizer, and then looked at the following peach tree seeds and ginseng fruit seedlings. It was just right to plant these two plants in the cave space, and then irrigate them with the mountain god's spring water. He should be able to see ripe fruits soon.

"Peach tree seeds (rare material), if planted in soil that contains spirituality, will grow into a peach tree. Eating the fruit can not only nourish the body, but also increase one's own magic power."

"Ginseng fruit sapling (super rare material), if planted in soil that contains spirituality, it can grow into a tree that can grow ginseng fruit. Eating the fruit can increase your lifespan and regulate your body's mechanisms."

"Please note that the growth cycle of peaches and ginseng fruits has a lot to do with the soil they are planted in and the quality of the water used."

"Moreover, peaches and ginseng fruits are the dragon beasts' favorite foods. As long as they see these two fruits, they will ignore everything in front of them. Even if the sky falls, they will choose to eat the fruits first."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description in the text and planted the two saplings in the cave space inside the magic bag, just outside the two-story building, one on each side, using soil fertilizer and mountain god spring water to plant and water them.

Oddly enough, as soon as the fertilizer and spring water were arranged, the peach seeds and ginseng fruit seedlings sprouted and took root quickly.

It grew so fast that it seemed as if it had been cultivated for several years. In just a few minutes, it had grown much taller than Jiang Xinghuo, and even unripe fruits could be seen.

"So fast?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Xirang fertilizer and the Mountain God Spring were so powerful. If he planted ordinary crops, it would probably take more than a week for them to mature.

Jiang Xinghuo was about to continue the inventory, but the game text was suddenly interrupted by a new message, and another text content popped up.

"The origin of the Silent Flame Mountain Range (rare material). This is what the Dragon Court Lord used the Dragon Breeding Technique to forcibly plunder an active volcano..."

"You suddenly heard light footsteps outside, and it seemed that someone was coming towards you."

"The other party exudes a light but pure killing intent, and accurately locks onto your breath. Even the room you are hiding in is blocked by the other party's power, becoming as insurmountable as a copper wall and iron wall." "Then, a terrifying and familiar force spreads over you, and you feel your body start to become red and swollen, and festering pustules appear on the surface of your skin at a speed visible to the naked eye..."

"You have been cursed by the evil sore of the Yellow Immortal Patriarch."

At the same time, as the text prompt flashed in the game, Jiang Xinghuo also felt the change in reality. He felt a foul odor in the living room, and a fishy wind filled the air! A gust of cold wind came from nowhere! !

In the aftermath of the gusts of cold wind, Jiang Xinghuo saw a two-meter-tall yellow-skinned shadow appear in the raging and rolling cold wind, looking at him with resentment.

It was also the first time that Jiang Xinghuo intuitively felt the meaning of the word "resentment", as if he wanted to eat his own flesh, drink his own blood, and peel off his own skin.

"Ancestor Huang Xian?"

Jiang Xinghuo lowered his head to glance at the game text, then glanced at the yellow-skinned man's shadow that was looming in the gloomy wind.

My dear,

The impact of a two-meter-tall yellow fox on people is much more terrifying than facing a gorilla.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the palm thunder came out in response, but it did not cause any harm to the old yellow-skinned man.

At the same time, the cold wind also swept towards Jiang Xinghuo.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Xinghuo only felt a tightness in his chest, and his breath was almost suffocated in his chest. Dense red rashes began to appear on his body, and they quickly connected into one piece, then turned into sores and pus, ulcerated and broken the skin, and an extremely serious infection occurred.

Pain filled every cell in his body. With Jiang Xinghuo's endurance and physical fitness at the moment, he could not help but let out a beast-like growl from his throat when facing this kind of pain.

But fortunately, the strength in the body also responded and started to fight against this foreign evil sore virus.

Jiang Xinghuo endured the burning pain and watched the ulcerated skin on his body gradually recover, but it continued to ulcerate and break again, over and over again, caught in a tug of war.

Jiang Xinghuo did not immediately activate the Dead Tree Resurrection or the Golden Law, but instead planned to use his own physique to resist this power, which might greatly increase his resistance to the Yellow Immortal Evil Sore.

Unless it is absolutely necessary,
Otherwise, Jiang Xinghuo would not intend to use other powers to eliminate the Huangxian evil sore.

I kept doing this for about ten minutes.

Jiang Xinghuo found that the evil sores on his body began to fade, the damaged and ulcerated skin recovered as before, and the pain disappeared without a trace, as if all the symptoms had never appeared.

At the same time, text message prompts came from the game.

"Your physical fitness level has been improved, +7."

"Your resistance to the Huangxian virus has been improved, +5."

"The Yellow Immortal Patriarch roared angrily and crushed your body to dust, burning it to ashes. Although it did not completely kill you this time, it will keep staring at you until the day it completely kills you. It guarantees that you will die miserably and will make you regret coming to this world."

Jiang Xinghuo's evaluation of this can be summed up in four words: impotent and furious.

But then again, this level of Yellow Immortal Evil Sore is far beyond the reach of ordinary immortals, and its power is beyond imagination.

If it were him in his original form, if he wanted to completely remove the curse of the Yellow Immortal Evil Sore, he would probably have to activate the power of the Golden Law, or he could only rely on the Law of Burial to make the power of the curse fall into silence.

Patriarch Huangxian wanted to kill him, but on the other hand, he also wanted to kill the other party, but both sides were temporarily unable to do so.

Patriarch Huangxian had the ability to kill him, but the endless starry sky separated him, so he couldn't use his power.

He can contact the Yellow Immortal Ancestor, but he does not have enough power to kill him. Unless he can become the master of a certain law, he may be qualified to confront the Yellow Immortal Ancestor head-on.

This was the first time the two faced off, and it ended in a draw for various reasons.

But Jiang Xinghuo comforted himself in his heart that while so many of Huangxian's disciples died, he only killed one of his projections. Judging from the losses, he still had the upper hand.

Jiang Xinghuo comforted himself with the spirit of Ah Q, and then began to move the plot forward.

"Do you want to activate the Fall Guy effect?"

Jiang Xinghuo wanted to choose yes, but then he thought about it and realized that he seemed to have overlooked a question: how did Huang Xian Patriarch find him?

When he was at Xinglong Villa, he was not blocked by the Yellow Immortal Patriarch.

So the other party has no reason to know my whereabouts.

But among so many buildings, it managed to find the room where it was hiding accurately and killed itself efficiently.

It didn't even bother to test it, as if it already knew everything.

Is there any mark on my body?
Or does Huang Xian Patriarch have some special props or magic that can track his remaining breath and mana fluctuations? ?
Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. He felt that he had to survive first.

"You used a scapegoat."

"You managed to come back to life in the place where you died, but the house you were hiding in has completely collapsed. There is also a clear palm print on the ground, which was obviously shattered by the other party's palm."

Okay, Tathagata Palm, right? ?

Jiang Xinghuo complained and continued to push forward the text.

"You carefully checked your body and found nothing similar to a mark."

"But you found some unburned paper ashes at the edge of the ruins. They were still warm, so they must have been extinguished not long ago. You could vaguely see some cinnabar cloud sedge on them."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the remnants of the Light-Tracing Talisman."

"The Light Tracing Talisman (ordinary item) is a necessary medium for performing the Light Tracing Technique. It is drawn with cinnabar and yellow talismans, but the talisman itself does not have any other abilities and can only be used as a medium."

"The Light Tracing Method?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the red font, clicked on the entry and checked the detailed information.

"The Great Light Tracing Technique was created by the Light Tracing Immortal in ancient times. It can trace back the time of events in a fixed area and view all the events that have ever happened here."

"So theoretically speaking, this technique can trace back things that happened countless years ago, but time is a forbidden force. The further back in time you trace back, the greater the cost to yourself."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately understood what was going on. He didn't expect that this old yellow-skinned man had this ability to trace back the lost time and space information of the past.

Since it understands this magic, it can naturally go back in time and find its hiding place.

No wonder it can find its own position accurately. For the magic power of Huangxian Patriarch, it is too easy to trace back what happened a few minutes ago, and the energy consumed must be minimal.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little yearning for this kind of magic.

You have to know that any means related to space and time have always been opportunities that can only be encountered by chance, and I don’t know if I have the chance to obtain this technique.
