My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 635 Yuanbao Immortal
"You have obtained the clue of the Human Skin Alley."

"According to the fertility temple priest, the Human Skin Alley is located in the north of Jiangnan City and is run by a monster named Human Skin Fairy."

"Because the citizens living there know how to make various items with human skin, it is called Renpi Lane, also known as Renpi Lane."

"The corpse you fished out from the bottom of the river during the day was a dead skin craftsman under the command of the Human Skin Fairy. He roamed the secular world looking for suitable materials. After finding an opportunity to kill his target, he would peel off the skin from the corpse and bring it back to the Human Skin Fairy."

"This dead leatherworker must have offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he got himself into trouble. Not only did he fail to find the right materials, he even lost his own life."

"He had met a leather craftsman by chance before and recognized his clothes and attire, so he was able to identify the other person."

After reading this game text, Jiang Xinghuo finally realized that the corpse was not a river worker under Mr. Huang He, but a monster from the Jiangnan Human Skin Alley.

It seems that the Yellow River token and the river basin map were obtained by this dead leatherworker from other people. Maybe he took them from a river worker after killing him.

Next time you go to Jiangnan, you can visit this Human Skin Alley and maybe you will find something else.

"You learned about the body from the Goddess of Childbirth Temple. When you were about to leave the temple, Shuanwawa, who was rescued by you during the day, suddenly ran over and put something in your hand."

"You have obtained the severed finger of the auspicious boy."

"The broken finger of the auspicious boy (rare material). The auspicious boy evolved from the blessing technique, one of the eight hundred Qilin techniques in the secular world. He has the ability to improve his own luck and fate. Later, he was dismembered for unknown reasons and his body was scattered all over the secular world. This broken finger is one of them. After using it, you can obtain the incomplete Qilin blessing technique. Do you want to use this broken finger?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shuan Wawa could give him such a thing. Although it was an incomplete Qilin magic technique, it was very rare in the secular world, especially this kind of magic technique that was specifically used to improve one's luck.

"You used the severed finger of the auspicious boy."

"Because you have inherited many Qilin techniques, it was effortless for you to refine this severed finger."

"You have obtained the incomplete Qilin Blessing."

"Qilin Blessing Technique (Incomplete), one of the eight hundred Qilin techniques in the secular world, can bless others or yourself, comprehensively improve your various attributes, and there are no side effects. However, because the blessing technique you master is incomplete, you cannot fully activate the power of this technique. It can only have a slight impact and improvement on your own luck."

"Your chance of discovering hidden items and tasks during the next exploration process has increased, +1."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded contentedly. Although it was only an incomplete blessing spell and could not fully improve his attributes, it was enough for Jiang Xinghuo.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Would you choose to stay in the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth and chat with the temple priest by candlelight? Or would you leave the Temple and go to other places in the city? Or would you choose to return to the Temple of the River God to rest and sleep?"

The game gives three options: stay in the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth, go somewhere else, and return to the Temple of the River God.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and did not choose to stay or go back to the River God Temple. Instead, he controlled the character to wander around the city.

Although this map has been developed for quite some time, it has not been explored in detail. It is a good opportunity to take a walk around the city tonight and see if I can find anything.

"You chose to wander around the city."

"In progress, please wait..."

"You have come to Yuanbao Street."

"Yuanbao Street is the place with the most strange rumors in Daliang City. It is said that many years ago, this place was a barren mass grave. But one day, the mass grave suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a clean and spacious street. The man who runs this street claims to be Yuanbao Daxian. If anyone who enters this street can get his recognition, they will receive the Yuanbao Daxian's blessing."

"The gifts from Yuanbao Immortal vary. It could be a treasure, a craft, or even a meal. In short, anyone who catches its eye will gain something."

"But if someone is not favored by it, even if you walk around this street until you die, you will not find any trace of Yuanbao Daxian, let alone see him."

"Some people once wanted to get rid of this Yuanbao Immortal, but those who entered Yuanbao Street found nothing and did not find any trace of Yuanbao Immortal at all. Everyone thought that the matter was over, but in the following nights, those who entered this place and wanted to harm Yuanbao Immortal all died tragically in their homes. Even the people around them did not know how they died."

"Do you want to go into Yuanbao Street to find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it and controlled the character to walk in. As for whether he could meet the Yuanbao Immortal, it depended on his luck.

"You entered Yuanbao Street."

"Exploring, please wait..."

"You found a few open shops on the street. Do you want to go in and see what's inside?"

"You walked into those shops and found a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and collectibles on the tables. They were all valuable and rare items, but there was no one in the house. It seemed that these things were prepared for you. Do you want to go over and collect them all?"

"As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences."

"Once you miss this opportunity, it may not be so easy to find such a good thing in the future."

Tsk, when Jiang Xinghuo read the content of the text, he thought that he really treated himself as a child. This was obviously a trap. It was either a test from the Yuanbao Immortal or some other trap.

This kind of story has been recorded in books for a long time, and various versions of it have emerged one after another.

But the result is always the same: as long as you take these things, you will be the one who is in trouble.

"You were not blinded by the glittering jewels in front of you. Instead, you stuck to your original intention and turned a blind eye to the gold and silver jewels. Not only did you not take a single cent, you also closed the door that was wide open to prevent other greedy people from discovering the things inside."

"Continuing to explore..."

"I have to say that your noble character is rare in today's world, but you did miss a chance to make a fortune. It's too late for you to regret it now." "But this is just like the old saying, fortune and misfortune are closely related, and misfortune and fortune and fortune are closely related. Although you missed a chance to make a fortune, you also avoided a potentially fatal crisis."

"Because the gold, silver and jewelry displayed in the shop are all transformed from a kind of monster called the Gold and Silver Monster. Once someone is attracted to gold and silver and goes over to take it, his body will be contaminated by the aura of gold and silver and turn into a lifeless golden statue."

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that this was indeed the case. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Such a cheap thing must be something fishy.

"You walked around Yuanbao Street twice, but you didn't get anything. Not to mention the Yuanbao Immortal, you didn't even see a living creature."

"It seems that you are not a destined person and cannot gain the favor of Yuanbao Immortal. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to continue wandering here? Or leave Yuanbao Street as soon as possible to avoid encountering other things?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to stay and continue.

"Continue to wander..."

"You have triggered the Qilin Blessing."

"You feel a strange smell in the air, a little spicy, but also mixed with the aroma of oil, as if someone is cooking a dish, but the aroma is mixed with some burnt smell and a hint of an indescribable strange smell."

"Do you want to follow the smell and see what's going on?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved. Was this the effect of the Qilin's blessing technique, triggering an unexpected plot?
I wonder if it has anything to do with Yuanbao Daxian?
While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things in his mind, he controlled the character to walk in the direction where the smell came from.

"You walked towards the source of the smell in the air with your eyes closed. Soon you arrived outside a mansion. The two red painted wooden doors were not closed. The yard was bustling with activity. A fat figure was shaking a large spoon in front of a built stove. The fragrant, sticky, and somewhat strange smell came from this spoon."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered it, Yuanbao Immortal."

"Yuanbao the Great Immortal, it is said that he is a ghost wandering in the secular world. His favorite thing in life is to eat, but he doesn't like food made by outsiders. He only likes to cook by himself. However, his cooking skills are really not that good, and he can't bring himself to ask for advice. He can only figure it out by himself. You can imagine what he makes."

"You saw Yuanbao the Immortal take out the food from the pot, but he only took one bite and spat it out on the ground. He couldn't swallow it at all. He was so angry that he threw the plate into the garbage heap and turned around to look at you outside the door with red eyes."

"What choice are you going to make now?"

"Do you choose to leave this place immediately to avoid offending the other party?"

"Or should I choose to explain immediately and go in to make a dish that is delicious and fragrant to appease the greedy heart of Yuanbao Immortal?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to leave.

He came here just to find the immortal Yuanbao, but unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, he finally found the immortal Yuanbao thanks to the passive talent of Qilin Technique. If he had missed him, his trip would have been in vain.

"You walked into the courtyard under the watchful eyes of Yuanbao the Great Immortal, indicating that you know a little bit about cooking, but your skills are not very proficient. You were attracted by the fragrance outside just now, and hope that the senior with excellent cooking skills can give you some pointers."

"As the saying goes, flattery never gets worn out. Your compliments made Yuanbao Daxian's expression much more relaxed. He indicated that all the materials are available here. You can try them out here. It will naturally tell you if there are any deficiencies."

Jiang Xinghuo found the text a little funny. Sometimes, flattery is quite effective, at least it seems to be effective on the surface.

"Although your cooking skills are not very sophisticated, they are after all derived from the three great food masters of the secular world. The dishes you make are all delicious and much better than those of Yuanbao Immortal."

"Moreover, you deliberately slowed down the speed of each step so that Yuanbao Daxian could see clearly and remember each step firmly in his mind. However, for the sake of his own face, Yuanbao Daxian did not look at you favorably, saying that your skills still need more practice."

"It just so happens that there are enough ingredients here. After you use these things, you will be able to get started with cooking."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo entered a semi-hang-up state.

This situation continued until almost dawn, when the subsequent plot popped up on the screen.

"You used up all the ingredients prepared by Yuanbao Daxian, and you also performed all the skills and dishes you mastered in front of Yuanbao Daxian, and he learned a lot from you."

"All the dishes you have prepared for half the night have gone into Yuanbao Immortal's stomach. Yuanbao Immortal touched his stomach contentedly. It has been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food."

"But it can't show this emotion in front of you. It just said that your talent is pretty good. If you continue to work hard, there is still a lot of room for improvement. It hopes that you can come here more often in the future, so that it can always teach you if you have any shortcomings."

"You have obtained the Yuanbao Order."

"This is a token made by the Great Immortal Yuanbao using his own skin. You only need to use magic power to activate this Yuanbao token. As long as you are still above the secular world and not far away, you can be teleported to it anytime and anywhere."

Jiang Xinghuo understood it at a glance. This was a prop of the same nature as the Divine Machine Order of Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian, and could be used for teleportation to a fixed point.

"Also, the Great Immortal Yuanbao said that your diligence is worthy of praise. It took out something from its body and gave it to you. It hopes that you can continue to work hard and live up to its expectations. Learn some new dishes as soon as possible and let it taste and guide you."

"You have obtained the talisman that can eliminate disasters and save all karma."

"The Causal Talisman for Eliminating Disasters and Saving All Beings (a rare item), an item that Yuanbao the Great Immortal accidentally obtained from the underworld. It can erase the causal lines caused by killing. After integrating it into your body, deduction techniques and items below the mythical level will not be able to locate your existence based on the causal lines."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the fragment of the law of cause and effect +1."

"Do you want to fuse this 'Disaster Elimination and Universal Salvation Karma Talisman'?"

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He thought he had read it wrong, but after reading the text again, he suddenly felt ecstatic!
