My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 674: Incense Shows Power
Jiang Xinghuo found the place where the iodine monsters were lurking deep in Huangwai Mountain, and then used the salt altar to attack them while the iodine monsters were not paying attention.

The salt altars left by the Susha clan were all fine products, which could release large amounts of salt and sand to corrode the opponents. They took the lives of three iodine monsters on the spot, and the rest were also seriously injured.

But just when Jiang Xinghuo was planning to strike while the iron was hot and go for the harvest, he unexpectedly met the king of the iodine monsters, who should be the leader of these iodine monsters.

"You saw a huge iodine monster coming out of the mountains. When it saw its people being killed, it became furious and immediately ran towards you. Its huge rock palm was like a small mountain, hitting your head and body hard."

"Boom!"

"After a loud bang, smoke and dust rose up, and a huge concave palm print appeared on the ground. At the critical moment, you used the Nine Deaths Cicada to make your body virtual, and avoided the heavy blow from the angry King Iodine."

"And you took this opportunity to come behind the Iodine King. The snow-white salt sand in the Salt Altar kept pouring out like a raging wave, sweeping madly towards the Iodine King."

"Salt is the nemesis of monsters like the Iodine Monster. Although the Iodine King is stronger than ordinary Iodine Monsters, it cannot escape this conclusion. Under the constant pressure of salt and sand, it soon lost most of its ability to resist, and its body began to break and crack, greatly reducing its strength."

"You took this opportunity to unleash your innate ability of the Eight Diagrams. The brilliant lightning, under the control of the Dragon King's Dao soldiers, completely submerged the body of the Iodine King."

"You have killed the Iodine King."

"You have obtained, Incense +3000."

"Are you going to step forward and collect the body of the Iodine King?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation and controlled the character to go over and collect King Iodine's body.

"You have obtained the remains of King Iodine's body."

"The remains of the Iodine King's corpse (rare material), the king of the iodine monsters, is a good material for treating goiter. It can also be used as a material for forging protective gear and armor to deal with certain special environments."

Jiang Xinghuo happily collected the corpse of the Iodine King. The corpses of ordinary iodine monsters have poor resistance when used to make biochemical suits, but the corpse of the Iodine King should be able to improve the resistance a little, and perhaps it can help him obtain the radiation Gu placed in the secret room for breeding Gu.

However, to be on the safe side, it is better to collect more materials. Then Jiang Xinghuo went over and collected the corpses of several iodine monsters.

Of course, he did not kill all the iodine monsters. On the one hand, there was no need to do so. Enough would be enough. On the other hand, he was somewhat in the wrong. They were just basking in the sun and singing, and he came over and killed several of them without saying a word. It would be a bit too conscienceless if he killed them all.

Besides, the materials he has now should be enough to make a piece of armor.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was about to control the character to go to Huangwai Mountain immediately, a new text message suddenly popped up on the game interface.

"You are being spied on by someone from an unknown source. The Divine Talisman for Eliminating the Evil Traces of Cause and Effect is in effect. It has successfully severed the cause and effect for you, shielded the secrets of heaven, and isolated you from the other party's spying."

Ok?
When Jiang Xinghuo saw the prompt message of this game text, his eyebrows raised immediately, not understanding where this deduction and spying came from.

Was it because he killed the Iodine King that the deduction and spying were diverted? Or were those masters who had offended him before trying to deduce his whereabouts?
In past gaming experiences, many masters wanted to deduce his whereabouts, such as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of Shifang Zen Temple, and those Taoist masters he had offended, such as Tianzai Taoist and Jingshi Tathagata, as well as ancient powerful men such as Empress of Heaven and Master Fushuai Baoyun, who were also looking for his whereabouts.

It’s only because he is a product of the law of cause and effect that those masters are unable to find out his whereabouts. Otherwise, he would have been found by those people long ago.

Is this another sudden urge for them to deduce their whereabouts?
While he was thinking about this, the game text underwent new changes.

"Your magic talisman for eliminating the evil traces of cause and effect cut off the deduction of cause and effect. You were about to leave Huangwai Mountain, but suddenly you felt a terrifying aura approaching quickly."

"But in a flash, that breath arrived above Huangwai Mountain. Endless Yin Qi spread behind it, and the sharp sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were endless. Finally, it turned into a huge hand that covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire Huangwai Mountain."

"You have discovered it, Patriarch Shouchi."

"You have triggered the storyteller's golden collection of books."

"Searching for your terms."

"Please wait……"

"Searching for the term."

"Search complete."

"Loading..."

"Editing the entry for you."

"You have obtained the clue of Shou Chi Patriarch."

"Ancestor Shouchi is the ancestor of the Shouchi lineage in Guandong. He existed for a very long time. When the Lord of the Secular World ruled the secular world, he had already become famous and left a great reputation in the secular world."

"On the night of dawn, Patriarch Shouchi also went to the Forbidden City to get a piece of the pie. In the end, he had a great battle with Tai Sui God, one of the thirteen Dao masters. Although he was defeated and fled, he also took away more than a dozen palaces from the depths of the Forbidden City."

“Later, the Shouchi Patriarch forged these dozen halls into thirteen Shouchi Spiritual Halls. Legend has it that they were cages prepared for the thirteen Dao masters. The Shouchi Hall in your hand is one of them.”

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that when he came to Kanto before, he met a man called Shouchi and rescued a believer of the Secret Keeper from being imprisoned. It was at that time that he acquired Shouchi Hall. (Chapter 316)
"This attack by Shouchi Patriarch contains a powerful force, as if he wants to exterminate all the creatures in the mountain. You subconsciously want to resist, but you find that the mana in your body has been imprisoned. It seems that Shouchi Patriarch has been prepared and has set up means to imprison mana near Huangwai Mountain."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw this text, he knew that he was in trouble and that he might not be able to save his life.

"You were beaten into a pulp by the palm formed by the Yin energy."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the scapegoat, dog food and grave cakes. These three props were still grey.

He could only wait a few more hours.

However, Jiang Xinghuo really didn't expect that Patriarch Shou Chi would play such a trick. Why did the other party do this?

Is it just to silence the witnesses?
Whose mouth are you trying to silence?

my own?
Jiang Xinghuo thought of letting those people who were collecting the pond go. Could it be that they went back and figured out the ancestor of collecting the pond?
But on second thought, it seemed unlikely. The attack from Patriarch Chi was obviously aimed at the entire Huangwai Mountain. It seemed like he was being affected.

Correct!
He is the fish in the pond!
Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone. Since the resurrection item could not be used, he could only wait for the 8-hour cooling time to pass.

But at this moment, the black screen suddenly lit up and a new text message popped up.

"You have been blessed by the Black Mother, and have been led back to the world of the living from the underworld by her power."

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and wondered what was going on.
Did Black Mother's blessing bring me back to the world from the underworld?
its not right!
Didn't Black Mama die a long time ago?

According to the background setting of the game, the three ancestors outside the Guanwai had died many years ago. How could they bring themselves back?
Black Mama is not dead?
This sudden change left Jiang Xinghuo puzzled, so he had to pin his hopes on the game text that followed.

"The remaining spirit of Black Mother sensed that Huangwai Mountain was about to face a catastrophe. Its remaining spirit could no longer protect the creatures on Huangwai Mountain, so it could only place its hopes on you."

"The remaining spirit of Black Mother sensed the power of Incense in you. It is a technique to harness the power of incense. As long as there is enough incense, you can use this spell anytime and anywhere without any restrictions."

"Mother Hei gave you the last bit of her incense fire. I hope you can use the power of the incense fire formula to defeat the Shouchi Patriarch and protect the thousands of creatures and races on the entire Huangwai Mountain."

"You have obtained, Incense +75000."

Jiang Xinghuo blinked his eyes and looked at the incense offerings carefully. It turned out that the remaining spirit of Hei Mama gave him nearly 100000 incense offerings.

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to follow the wishes of the remaining spirit of Black Mother and use the power of the Incense Art to force the old man Shouchi to retreat? Or will you run away with the 75000 incense sticks that Black Mother gave you?"

"Anyway, the lives of those monsters on Huangwai Mountain have nothing to do with you. Aren't you here to reap the lives of those monsters?"

"The remaining spirit of Black Mother cannot leave the Black Mother Temple at the foot of the mountain. Even if you take all the incense and escape from Huangwai Mountain, Black Mother will not be able to do anything to you. On the contrary, if you were to confront the Shouchi Patriarch, you would not only offend him, but you would also be regarded as a mortal enemy by the Shouchi lineage."

The game provides two options: escape from Huangwai Mountain with the incense, or fight with the ancestor Shouchi.

It must be said that this option really touched Jiang Xinghuo's heart. Nearly 100,000 incense points were deposited into his account. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.

But if he accepted the incense money and escaped from Huangwai Mountain, he couldn't get over it in his heart. In the end, he suppressed his greed and decided to use the incense money to fight with Patriarch Shou Chi.

Not for anything else, just to vent my anger.

He wanted to see if he could deal with the ancestor Shou Chi with these incense sticks!
Jiang Xinghuo still had a lot of incense on him. The incense he got from the Huangpizi Temple was an astronomical figure. Although he used some of it later, together with the incense he collected, it was still a considerable amount.

"You decided to follow the wishes of the remaining spirit of Black Mother and stay here to protect all living things on Huangwai Mountain."

"You have activated the power of the Incense and Fire Technique."

This technique is just a technique of excellent quality, and its quality alone is not worth mentioning at all.

However, this magical skill of scattering money consumes incense as a medium to exchange for powerful strength.

Theoretically speaking, this technique has no limitations at all. As long as there is enough incense as a medium, it can exert infinite power.

This is also the most powerful killer weapon he currently possesses.

But Jiang Xinghuo never intended to use this kind of magic unless it was absolutely necessary. The amount of incense consumed was beyond the ability of ordinary people to bear. He might have to use most of his incense.

But now there is no good way to deal with Patriarch Shou Chi.

“The incense burns quickly in your body, and a terrifying aura gradually emanates from it, attracting the attention of Patriarch Shouchi.”

"It originally thought that its attack just now could destroy the entire Huangwai Mountain, but it didn't expect that Huangwai Mountain was protected by a mysterious force."

“Even you, an exile from the Exile Land, were unharmed under the protection of this power. This is equivalent to giving it a hard slap in the face. Especially when I saw that you dared to resist, Patriarch Shouchi was furious.”

"Ancestor Shouchi has launched an attack on Huangwai Mountain again. The amount of incense in your body is also burning rapidly. The incense given to you by the residual spirit of Black Mother has been burned out. Do you still want to continue burning your own incense?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it quickly and chose yes without much hesitation. Either he didn't do it, or he would do it to the extreme. He would offend this ancestor Shouchi both inside and outside, so he would give it a hard blow. Even if he couldn't kill it, he would have to let it go back and lie down for a few years. In the future, he would feel the pain when he thought of himself!
"The incense in your body is also starting to burn rapidly."

Jiang Xinghuo watched the incense value changing rapidly, and soon invested 25000 incense points. Including the incense given by the remaining spirit of Black Mother, it just made up an integer.

I believe that even the master of Taoism would have to retreat away from the power gained from the burning of a hundred thousand incense sticks.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo invested another 10000 incense sticks.

At this point, the power gained from the burning of 110000 incense sticks was also directed towards the ancestor Shou Chi.

"The power of the incense turned into a ferocious angry dragon with bared fangs and claws, roaring and rushing towards the Shouchi Patriarch in the sky, instantly tearing apart the ghosts that were transformed by the yin energy, and then continued to strangle the Shouchi Patriarch without stopping."

"Ancestor Shouchi felt threatened by this force, but it was too late to evacuate. He found himself locked in by the angry dragon, and had no other choice but to resist head-on."

"The power of the incense and the old man Shouchi collided with each other. The old man Shouchi roared and took the blow with his own strength. However, blood rained from the sky. The old man Shouchi was bathed in blood and quickly disappeared into the sky with his broken body."

"This blood rain is made from the blood of the old man Shouchi. It is a good material for refining some elixirs. Do you want to collect it?"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the prompt in the text, he immediately found the container from his magic bag and began to collect the blood rain.

"You have obtained the blood of Patriarch Chi."

"Collect the blood of Chi Laozu (legendary material). Collect the blood essence in Chi Laozu's body, which contains strong and rich spiritual energy. It can greatly improve the success rate and quality of refining pills."
