My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 612: Master Zhenwu's Secret Cave
"You explored the Tianji Academy, but unfortunately you found nothing."

"Do you want to continue exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't believe it and searched the Tianjiyuan again, but the result was still no change. He didn't find anything useful.

"What are your options next?"

"Would you like to rest in Tianjiyuan first and recover your energy?"

"Or do you choose to leave Tianjiyuan and explore other places again?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options given by the game, thought about it, and chose to continue staying in Tianjiyuan. He didn't believe that in such a big place, he couldn't find anything useful? ?
"You were wandering around Tianjiyuan, doing nothing."

"You were wandering around the Tianji Academy and found some scrapped forging materials. They were already rotten beyond recognition."

"You were wandering around Tianjiyuan and found a secret room with several jars of unknown liquid inside."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the Moon Slurry."

"Moon Flowing Juice (consumable material), the moonlight collected on a full moon night. After drinking it, you can quickly restore your physical strength and it can continue to provide energy for 24 hours."

"You continue to wander around Tianjiyuan, and suddenly you find that the two corpses in the hall are a little strange. Their arms are slightly raised, and they seem to be pointing in a certain direction, as if they are indicating something."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up, and he thought, here I come, after staying here for half a day, I have finally triggered a new interaction.

"Do you want to go to where the body is pointing and see what's there?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately controlled the character to walk over, and new text content popped up.

"You came to the place where the body pointed, took a closer look, and found additional treasure in the crack of the wall."

"You have obtained the remaining pages of the "Secret Records of Dou Muye's Research"."

"When the Tianji Academy was first established, the Lord of the Stars personally invited Dou Muye and entrusted him to be the leader of the Tianji Academy. Everyone obeyed his orders and regarded him as their master."

"It is said that Master Dou Mu has been in Tianji Academy for many years and has developed many magical instruments, one of which is a magical instrument that can be used to suppress the pollution of the fire of insanity. Although it cannot completely eliminate the pollution, it can ensure that the mind is clear and will not fall into confusion and madness."

"But except for the Star Lord, no one else has ever seen this prop. They only know that it looks like a coffin nail and is divided into three parts, which are hidden in the Star Academy, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Library..."

Just as the game text said, it was just a fragment of Dou Muye's secret research record, with only a few lines of text and no other content.

But just these few lines of words allowed Jiang Xinghuo to discover a lot of things. Dou Muye actually developed a prop to suppress the pollution of epilepsy fire, and its appearance was similar to that of a coffin nail.

This reminded Jiang Xinghuo of the coffin nail in his hand, which was a trophy found from the corpse of the Heavenly Ghost King, but Tathagata Zang could not figure out the details of the coffin nail.

If that coffin nail was the one recorded in the remaining pages of "The Secret Records of Dou Mu Ye's Research", then everything could be explained. Even the insane fire caused by the power of the end could be suppressed, so it was normal that Tathagata could not see its true colors.

At this moment, the game interface flashed and new text popped up.

"You learned the origin and function of the coffin nail through the remaining pages of Dou Mu's research record. Do you want to use this coffin nail immediately to suppress the influence of the power of the end on you?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the content of the game text, thought for a moment and made his decision.

"You have used Doumu's creation."

"You took out the coffin nail and, according to the instructions on the torn page, inserted it into your body. There was no pain or scar as you had imagined. You only felt a slight chill, and the coffin nail disappeared into your body."

"But you can clearly feel that the coffin nail has pierced your heart."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to continue to wander around in Tianji Academy? Or will you choose to leave Tianji Academy and go somewhere else?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo chose to leave Tianji Academy and go to explore other places in Xingchen Academy.

More importantly, he wanted to test the ability of the coffin nails to see if they could suppress the pollution of the spirit platform by the power of the end as described in the remaining pages of the secret record.

"You walked out of the gate of Tianji Academy, and the power of the end that permeated the surroundings surged towards you again like a tide."

"But this time, you have Dou Mu's creation in your body. Although the power of the end has flowed into your body, it has not polluted your spiritual platform."

"You still retain your ability to think clearly. The power of the end is gradually dissipating like dust and can no longer have any effect on you."

"Be careful. Dou Mu left behind three coffin nails. You only have one of them now. You cannot completely suppress the pollution of the Mad Fire on you. You can only maintain clarity for a certain period of time. If you exceed this time limit, you will still be attacked by the Mad Fire."

"But at the same time, you can also use the coffin nail that has merged into your body to sense the location of the other two coffin nails. When you have completely gathered all three coffin nails, even if you are in the midst of the fire of insanity, you can stay awake enough and have a small chance of obtaining the method to control the fire of insanity."

Jiang Xinghuo had anticipated this. If one coffin nail could withstand the invasion of the power of the end, then there would be no need for Dou Muye to make three.

Moreover, he could also sense the whereabouts of the other two coffin nails by using the coffin nails fused into his body.

This is equivalent to having two positioning maps. He can go directly to look for it without having to search slowly in the city.

"Where are you going next?"

"You were wandering around the academy, and suddenly you felt a trance in front of your eyes. The paths were crisscrossed and disordered, and a hidden secret cave appeared silently in front of you."

"You have discovered the secret cave of Master Zhenwu."

"Master Zhenwu's secret cave (cave heaven). When Master Doumu was in Tianji Academy, his good friend Master Zhenwu came to visit him. At the invitation of Master Doumu, he left a hidden secret cave in the academy, and left some treasures and inheritance. If a destined person can find his folded space secret cave, he will have the opportunity to enter it and obtain his legacy."

"You have discovered a secret cave that Master Zhenwu left behind at the Xingchen Academy. Do you want to go in and explore it right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo is now very grateful to the player named "Burning Incense Man".

If the other party had not wanted to trick him and sent him an item like Fortune Incense that greatly enhanced his passive attributes, he might not have had such good luck in the City of Origin and could encounter a hidden paradise as soon as he went out.

"You chose to explore the secret cave."

"You have gained something and discovered something." "You have obtained: a broken piece of Yaochi blessed land (rare), a broken piece of thousand-year-old tomb (rare), a broken piece of Xiaolong Palace (excellent), 10 bags of Xilu soil (rare), a Dachun sapling (legend), a Fusang sapling (legend), a Dongtian well water spring (legend)."

Jiang Xinghuo blinked and read the game text again. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he couldn't help but gasp.

Well, Master Zhenwu is really rich and powerful. He actually hid so many things in the cave he left here!

And there are several legendary quality materials! !
Master Zhenwu, are you not going to get through this?

Or is it really that rich? ?
But no matter what, these things are his now, and Jiang Xinghuo began to count them with great interest.

"Broken Yaochi Blessed Land (rare material), a fragment of Yaochi among the ten great blessed lands, contains the power of life and death. It can not only be used to promote the growth of trees, flowers, and agricultural spiritual objects, but also has the property of resurrection. Any dead plant can be revived in the shortest possible time as long as it is planted on Yaochi."

"According to unconfirmed rumors, if the body of a dead person is buried in the Yaochi blessed land, there will be a day when the dead will come back to life, but no one knows whether this rumor is true or not."

"You can choose to integrate this blessed land fragment into your trick bag. Do you want to integrate it immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much thought and merged the fragments of Yao Chi Blessed Land with the magic bag.

"In the process of integration..."

"Please wait……"

"Successful integration."

"The level of your Tai Sui race's Taotie magic bag has been improved by +2, and the quality of the cave space in the magic bag has also been slightly improved by +1."

"The ripening time of peaches and ginseng fruits has also been slightly improved."

As soon as the Yao Chi fragments were integrated into the magic bag, feedback appeared. Not only the level and quality were improved, but even the two planted fruit trees were affected. It will probably not take long for them to fully mature.

"Broken Millennium Tomb (Rare Material), a broken cave that Master Zhenwu accidentally discovered. There are a dozen low graves piled on it. I don't know who is buried there. It can slightly improve the quality of the cave space."

"Do you want to incorporate this fragment into the trick bag as well?"

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the broken Little Dragon Palace again. He didn't know where Master Zhenwu got so many broken paradises.

In short, he integrated all of his energy into the magic bag, raising the grade of the magic bag by half a level.

There is nothing much to say about the Xiran soil. It is the material for growing grains and crops, and it is directly spread within the cave space.

The remaining three things are what Jiang Xinghuo is most interested in. The reason is very simple, because of their legendary quality.

"Dachun sapling (legendary material). In ancient times, there was a sacred tree called Dachun. It was eight thousand years old for spring and eight thousand years old for autumn. Legend has it that it can make people immortal. However, it is extremely difficult to grow. Not only does it take a lot of time, but it also needs to be watered with spiritual springs."

"Fusang sapling (legendary material), a sapling with pure Yang aura. When planted on the soil, it can grow pure Yang fruit. After taking it, you can greatly increase your magic power and gain the innate ability of 'Pure Yang Fire'."

"The Cave Heaven Well Water Spring (Legendary Material), a spring formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as it is embedded in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the spring water will automatically spread to the entire Cave Heaven space, greatly increasing the spiritual energy in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land."

After Jiang Xinghuo counted all the things, he used what he could on the spot, and the entire cave space suddenly looked brand new.

This time they discovered the secret cave left by Master Zhenwu, but after Jiang Xinghuo sorted it out carefully, he found that most of the materials were for improving the quality of the magic bag, and there was almost nothing for himself.

Is this a coincidence?
Or did Master Zhenwu do it on purpose? ?

It must be a coincidence, right?

Perhaps Master Zhenwu just had a whim and left the bits and pieces he didn't need here.

"Where are you going next?"

The game text gave several options, and Jiang Xinghuo began to explore step by step.

Because of the protection of the coffin nails left by Master Dou Mu, his movements within the Star Academy became much easier. At least he didn't have to worry about being wiped out by the power of the end.

But with only one coffin nail, he couldn't stay awake for long, and could only explore for about five hours a day at most.

For more than half a month after that, Jiang Xinghuo stayed in the Xingchen Academy.

But the harvest can only be described as mediocre. Basically, there is nothing good to be found. Instead, if you die several times every day, you can collect some ashes of unknown purpose.

Two more days passed,
After Jiang Xinghuo finished his work and closed the store at night, a prompt message came from the idle game. He finally encountered a positive event that brought him some gains.

It has been almost a month, and since he discovered Master Zhenwu's secret cave, he has not triggered any other plots.

At one point he thought that he had overdrawn all his good luck, which led to his unlucky days. Even the lucky incense could not reverse his bad luck.

"You entered a crisscross alley. This was originally where servants lived. There were a lot of houses scattered and crowded. Normally, there shouldn't be people here, but you saw a house with a light on. Do you want to go over and check it out?"

Ok?
Is there anyone still living here?

Jiang Xinghuo immediately became interested and immediately controlled the character to walk over, wanting to see who was there.

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo was also prepared to die.

Anyway, the time is almost up today, and the suppression time of the coffin nails is almost reaching its limit. It won’t be long before he will be burned to ashes again.

"You walked outside the lighted room and felt a scorching breath coming like a wave. You looked inside through the half-open door and saw a humanoid creature with flames all over its body sitting on a chair, staring at you quietly and waving at you, as if he wanted you to come in and tell you something."

"The Star Lord of Mars has invited you. He sensed that you were walking freely in the Star Academy, but you were not contaminated by the Mad Fire and turned into a walking corpse in confusion. Instead, you survived smoothly."

"It expressed great interest in this, because it has spent its entire life here studying the power of the end, and it is willing to sacrifice its own life for this, and is trapped in prison and unable to extricate itself."

"But it still hasn't found the source of this power, so it hopes to have a good chat with you. It wants to know...why you are not troubled by the power of the end."

Today we have a sweet and sour pork competition here. I went to watch the fun and ended up updating late. Sorry...
