My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 667 Reincarnation Research Institute
Jiang Xinghuo carefully put away the broken Shennong ruler, intending to go to the Huaiyin Dragon King to ask for clarification after counting all the things to see if he could find the remaining part.

"Broken blue dragon horn (rare material), the dragon horn on the head of a real dragon, can be used as a material for forging and strengthening weapons, and can also be used as a raw material for refining certain elixirs. If swallowed by monsters with dragon blood, it can also increase the purity of their blood."

"Not long ago, the Dragon Lake in the Three Lakes of the Secular World was suspected to overlap with the Huaiyin Waterway, and many broken scales and dragon horns appeared in the water. This blue dragon horn was accidentally obtained by the Huaiyin Dragon King."

"How do you plan to use this Azure Dragon Horn now?"

"Will you choose to integrate it into the Dragon King's Dao Weapon to enhance the level and power of this weapon, or will you choose to give it to Yunlong to swallow to enhance Yunlong's cultivation and level?"

The game gave two options. Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a moment and chose the latter. He gave the Canglong horn in his hand to Yunlong to swallow.

The Dragon King's Taoist soldiers are already strong enough now. Even with the addition of this Azure Dragon Horn, it is just the icing on the cake.

On the other hand, although Yunlong has the body of a real dragon, it is actually the body of a flood dragon. It has just experienced a thunder tribulation, and it still has a long way to go if it wants to truly transform into a real dragon.

I hope this blue dragon horn can be of some help.

"You chose to give the Azure Dragon Horn to Yunlong."

"The Cloud Dragon devoured the Blue Dragon Horn and absorbed the remaining power from it, thus improving its cultivation level."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo only heard a loud dragon roar in his ears. The shadow of Yunlong quickly emerged from behind him, wandered around the room, and finally disappeared behind him.

This was fortunately Yunlong's phantom. If his real body had done this, the whole store would have been destroyed, and the neighbors nearby would have been in trouble too.

After dealing with the blue dragon horn, Jiang Xinghuo looked at other things.

"Dragon Blood Fruit Sapling (Excellent Material), a exotic fruit sapling born in a land watered by dragon blood. It has a hint of dragon blood characteristics. After taking the fruit, it can quickly restore lost mana and also has the effect of removing cold poison."

"Be careful. Although the dragon blood fruit can quickly restore mana, it is tainted with the medicinal properties of dragon blood and a trace of animal nature. Taking a large amount of it can easily affect the mind."

Jiang Xinghuo planted the dragon blood fruit saplings into the magic bag, watered them with fertile soil and spring water, and planted them together with the peach trees and ginseng fruit trees.

When these fruits are ripe, whether you use them yourself or trade them, you can earn a lot of money.

"Night clam pearls (excellent material), there is a creature unique to the Huaiyin water vein, called the night clam, which can swallow and spit out the moonlight and condense it into pearls, which have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin."

"Ice Heart Jade Bed (Excellent Item), a stone bed made of Ice Heart Jade. Lying on it can quickly heal injuries and restore health."

"The Secret History of the Imperial Court (special item), a handwritten copy of some secret history of the Imperial Court. It is quite subjective and should have been written by a frustrated and downtrodden descendant of the royal family. It not only records the unknown past events of the palace, but also contains some methods of practicing evil arts."

"The Huaiyin Dragon King went to great lengths to kill so many people just to practice the evil magic recorded in the book. One of the evil magics can allow one to die and be reborn. Simply put, as long as someone can kill it, it will have a chance to take over the other person's body and be reborn. Moreover, this kind of possession is a subtle influence, not a direct and rough way to wipe out the soul."

"So this method will hardly be noticed until the soul is completely devoured by the other party, and all memories and knowledge are taken by the other party."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this, he immediately understood. No wonder the Huaiyin Dragon King deliberately asked for death in front of him. It turned out that he wanted to use this method of death to transfer his consciousness to himself.

Fortunately, I was more careful, otherwise the other party would have succeeded in their plan and it would have been another troublesome matter.

Now it seems that the Huaiyin Dragon King cannot be killed, at least he cannot let him die in his own hands. He does not want to kill the Huaiyin Dragon King and then have to engage in a tug-of-war with it for its soul.

At this point, everything has been accounted for.

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Right now, the entire Huaiyin Dragon Palace has fallen into chaos. Those evil spirits attracted by the changes here are taking advantage of the situation to plunder the Huaiyin Dragon Palace. If you go out now, it will be easy to conflict with them."

"So, are you planning to hide away in a safe place? Or are you planning to take advantage of the chaos and quietly leave the Huaiyin Dragon Mansion?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and realized that since he had already found the things here, there was no point in staying any longer, so he decided to leave first.

Anyway, the Huaiyin Dragon King was buried under the dragon vein by it, and no one could find him.

"You chose to leave Huaiyin Dragon Mansion."

"You wandered towards the waters outside the Dragon Mansion, and ran into Bao Jiangzi who rushed in to search. He raised his huge palm, which was as big as a mountain, and slapped it towards your head."

"You summoned the River Guardian Boy. Underwater is the River Guardian Boy's home turf. The fists of the two big guys collided, and half of Baojiangzi's body was shattered. The blood instantly dyed the river red."

"You have killed Bao Jiangzi."

"You gained incense +300."

"When you were about to continue hunting down other monsters, you discovered a huge monster with bloodshot eyes approaching you quickly. With just one move, it severely injured the River Guardian Boy, who retreated back into the Sea of ​​Thunder to heal his wounds."

"You have discovered it, King Crocodile."

"King Crocodile, this monster from other waters was originally an ordinary pig fish. For some reason, it was enlightened by a master and transformed into a powerful monster."

"You sensed a familiar aura on it. If nothing unexpected happens, this crocodile dragon king was able to transform from a pig fish into a dragon king, which should be a gift from the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord."

"When the Alligator King saw you, he immediately pounced on you. His sharp teeth left you no way to avoid him. You were torn into pieces in his mouth and became his meal."

"You were dismembered and devoured by the Alligator Dragon King."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the scapegoat to resurrect on the spot?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

The fighting power of this crocodile king is quite strong. I am no match for it. Even if I were to resurrect, it would be a waste of time. It would be better for me to take this opportunity to escape and explore other places to avoid a head-on fight with these powerful characters.

"You used dog food."

"You woke up next to the shrine on the Huaiyin Waterway."

"Where are you going to explore next?"

"Would you choose to go somewhere with a purpose? Or would you choose to just wander around the Huaiyin waterway?" "Over the years, there have been countless shipwrecks in the Huaiyin waterway, and some of them contain valuables."

Jiang Xinghuo chose to wander around and sightsee. In the next few days, he did not rush back to find the Huaiyin Dragon King, but slowly explored the Huaiyin waterway.

We also found a lot of shipwrecks and material props. Although there were no valuable items, there were enough of them, and the accumulated amount was a considerable income.

That's it.
Jiang Xinghuo patiently explored the Huaiyin waterway for more than half a month.

After making sure that the situation at Huaiyin Dragon Mansion had come to an end and that no more evil spirits or other players were causing trouble, he slowly controlled his character and returned to Huaiyin Dragon Mansion.

He came here every day to take a look during this period, and would leave after making sure that the Huaiyin Dragon King had not been dug out. He would never stay here for too long to avoid attracting other people's attention.

Especially since the Alligator King was related to the True Lord of Mountains and Rivers, he didn't want to be involved in it. In case the True Lord of Mountains and Rivers had nothing to do and turned his attention here, he would appear in the other's field of vision.

"You have returned to Huaiyin Dragon Mansion again."

"The Huaiyin Dragon Mansion is now in ruins and in disrepair. It has long lost its former luxury and elegance."

"You activated the power of the Dragon Raising Technique and dug out the Huaiyin Dragon King that was buried underground."

"Although the Huaiyin Dragon King has been severely injured, it still maintains its tenacious vitality. After seeing you dig it out from the ground, it started to speak harshly in an attempt to provoke you to kill it."

Tsk, he is still a thief with such evil intentions that he wants to use the method of dying to replace his life and take over my body.

Unfortunately, this won't do what you want.

"You turned a deaf ear to the words of the Huaiyin Dragon King. You just took out the broken Shennong ruler from your magic bag and asked the Huaiyin Dragon King where he found it. As long as he tells you the specific location, you will fulfill his wish."

"I don't know if the Huaiyin Dragon King was injured too badly, so his mind became unclear. After hearing your promise that was obviously a lie, he actually believed your lies and told you where he found this thing."

"That place is not far from Huaiyin Water Palace. It was discovered by accident under the mud."

"The Huaiyin Dragon King also condensed the water flow into a map. As long as you follow the route marked on the map, you can find that place."

"You have obtained the map of the Huaiyin Dragon King."

"What are you going to do with the Huaiyin Dragon King next?"

"Will you choose to kill it with one blow? Or seal it up again and bury it in the underground dragon vein?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

"You buried the Huaiyin Dragon King underground again and placed several seals on the crystal coffin to ensure that the Huaiyin Dragon King would not break out of the ground. At the same time, with the nourishment of the dragon vein, it would not die completely and could only be imprisoned in the crystal coffin forever."

"The Huaiyin Dragon King saw that you broke your promise, and issued the most vicious curse in the secular world. It cursed you, an exile despised by the secular world, that you would die miserably. It swore to make you pay the most painful price in the world!"

Jiang Xinghuo ignored the Huaiyin Dragon King's impotent rage. After all, if the other party was really capable, he would not have pinned his last hope on those unorthodox magic.

However, he really had to find a way to completely get rid of the Huaiyin Dragon King, not because of anything else, but mainly for the reward from the water ghost river god.

The game text states very clearly that only by killing the Huaiyin Dragon King and avenging the water ghost and river god can one obtain the inheritance left by the other party. Now the other party has just been sealed up, and there is only one step left to complete the task.

He had to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

"What are your plans next?"

"Do you want to go to the location marked on that map?"

"On the way, please wait..."

"You followed the map left by the Huaiyin Dragon King and came to the outside of the Huaiyin Water Palace. This is where he discovered the Shennong ruler."

"You triggered Kakui's insight."

"You triggered the ability to see clearly."

"You observed the surrounding environment through two unique perspectives and soon discovered a stone door hidden under the mud. Do you want to try to open it?"

found it!
Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it was really effortless as he found the place he wanted to explore so quickly.

"You walked over to block the surrounding river water and cleared the mud and sand covering the stone door. You found that the mechanism on the stone door had long been out of order. Under the accumulation of mud and sand, a palm-wide gap had opened up. The broken Shennong ruler flowed out through this gap."

"You used both hands to forcefully open the stone door. Because you were carrying water-repellent beads, the surrounding river water did not spread into the stone door."

"But the moment you open the stone door, you still feel a strong damp smell. It's pitch black behind the door and you can't see anything clearly. Do you want to go in and find out?"

"You lit a torch and threw it in, and the fire did not go out, which means there is a vent inside. You then entered the stone door without any worries."

"You walked forward with a torch in your hand, and found that the walls on both sides were covered with murals. Upon closer inspection, you discovered that the medical skills of all schools from ancient times to the present were all painted on the murals without reservation."

"Your Tathagatagarbha level has been slightly improved, +1."

"You come to the end of the secret passage, and what comes into view is a laboratory. All the instruments are covered with a thick layer of dust."

"You have discovered the Reincarnation Research Institute."

"You found the experiment log of the Reincarnation Research Institute nearby, and learned the history of this institute by reading it."

"This research institute is a legacy of the last civilization. At that time, most of the experts who were proficient in medicine gathered here. They wanted to integrate their knowledge through science and technology with traditional techniques, so as to eliminate the dross and retain the essence for further development, so as to cope with the impending end of civilization."

"But no one knows whether it succeeded in the end, and no detailed information has been passed down. There are only some fragmentary clues scattered in some ancient books."

"At this moment, you feel that the Shennong ruler in the magic bag is ready to move, as if it has sensed something. Do you want to release it?"
