My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 6 A Map of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains

"You choose to go to the antique market in Wanghai Lane."

"But not long after you set out, you ran into a peddler dealing in medicinal herbs on the street."

"You found that the peddler's wooden cart had a problem and the herbs were scattered all over the ground. You were so anxious that you kept spinning in circles."

"Will you choose to go over and help him? Or will you choose to leave without seeing anything?"

Looking at the options provided by the game, Jiang Xinghuo pondered carefully for a while. Given the malice this world had towards players, he felt that if he helped, he would be framed and might even lose his life.

However, it might also trigger an unexpected incident. After thinking about it, Jiang Xinghuo decided to help. At worst, he could just wait another eight hours. It was no big deal.

"You chose to step forward and help."

"Thanks to your generous help, the problem with the wooden cart was quickly solved. You helped to load the scattered herbs onto the cart. The medicine seller was very grateful to you, and he prepared some gifts for you as a thank you."

Seeing this line of text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. There is true love in the world. It seems that there are still good people in this world!!!

"The medicine seller is very grateful for your behavior. He decided to give you some gifts to repay your kindness. You can choose two from the following options."

"Dogskin plaster (excellent consumable item), the medicine seller uses tiger bones from outside the Great Wall as raw materials to make a plaster that has the ability to activate blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, dispel cold and remove toxins, strengthen the body, and delay the failure of the five internal organs."

"King Kong Da Li Pills (excellent consumable item), the medicine seller used earth dragons and bear bile from outside the Great Wall as raw materials, and spent thirteen days refining this pill. It can strengthen the muscles and bones, strengthen the body's immunity, and achieve the effect of increasing strength."

"Aphrodisiac (top-grade consumable item). The medicine seller used Cynomorium songaricum, Polygonum multiflorum, and Tripterygium wilfordii as raw materials. It took 49 days to refine the elixir. It can strengthen the body and kidneys, nourish yin and strengthen yang. It has the effect of lasting for seven days and helps to create a harmonious family atmosphere."

"Qingxin Shunqi Pills (Excellent Consumable Item), a pill developed by the Medicine Seller himself. After taking it, it can eliminate all desires and distractions in the heart in a short period of time, and achieve a state of mind as calm as water."

"Diet Pill (Excellent Consumable Item), a slimming pill made by the Medicine Seller himself. It can help people not be affected by their appetite. Even if they eat a lot, they can digest it cleanly. There is no need to worry about gaining weight due to overeating."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised when he saw the content of the text. He didn't expect that he would get such a generous reward just for helping.

Five options, let him choose two from them.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and ruled out aphrodisiacs and heart-clearing pills.

He was in good health and looked up at the sky every morning when he woke up. He didn't need that thing at all. Besides, he had no intention of becoming a monk, so why would he want to be ascetic?

Diet pills are useless to him.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo directly chose "Dog Skin Plaster" and "Vajra Pills".

"You made your choice."

"Before the medicine seller left, he told you where he was staying. He won't leave Longcheng in the short term. If you have any herbs you want to sell, you can go to the inn and find him."

"The medicine seller left the medicine behind and walked away with his cart."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game information and clicked on the text of "Dog Skin Plaster". A dog skin plaster emitting a strong medicinal smell appeared in his hand.

He did not hesitate and simply lifted up his clothes, put the plaster on his chest, and continued the game.

"You said goodbye to the medicine seller."

"You have come to Wanghai Lane, located in the south of Dragon City."

"This is the largest cultural and art market in Longcheng, and also the largest cultural and art market in the entire north. Its scale is even larger than that of Liulichang in Beiping."

"But it's hard to tell the authenticity of the collections here. It all depends on your personal vision. Once you sell them, you'll get the money and the goods. If you make a profit, it's your ability. If you make a mistake, it's your lack of skills." "You've entered the antique market."

"You met a mysterious half-immortal who told you that you would have a bloody disaster today. If you give him 1000 taels of silver, he will perform a ritual to help you break the disaster."

"You ignored it and kept walking forward."

"You met another scavenger. He waved his hand and called you over. He took out a yellowed scroll from his bag mysteriously."

"It said that this was the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" handed down from the previous dynasty. It had been collected by countless scholars for thousands of years, and later ended up in the imperial palace. After the night of dawn, the old dynasty was overthrown, and the painting also drifted into the rivers and lakes, and it was purchased by chance in the countryside."

"It's in urgent need of money now, so it's busy selling this painting."

"You have triggered the talent of Tathagatagarbha."

"You have seen the secret behind this painting."

"This is not a painting left by a famous artist from the previous dynasty, but a fake he made the day before yesterday using soy sauce and strong tea. You can still smell the faint aroma of tea and soy sauce."

"You saw through its disguise."

"The scavengers left in a hurry, covered in dust and dirt."

"You chose to leave the stall."

"But you saw through the scavenger's trick, so it became jealous of you. It blocked you in an alley and wanted to take revenge on you."

"But you are no longer the same person you were before. You knocked the scavenger to the ground with just three punches and two kicks. The scavenger fled out of the alley in a panic, and even dropped the bag he was carrying on the ground."

"Do you want to pick up the bag?"

Jiang Xinghuo was delighted, this was truly a boy who brought wealth, rushing to give him things.

"You have obtained the scavenger's bag."

"The Hundred-Neck Bag (a broken and excellent item), a hundred tricks of fish, dragon and acrobatics, containing the universe. It was originally the magic bag of the Caimen School among the eight major schools in the martial arts world. It contains the magic of the universe and is the magician's signature skill. After it was broken, it was discarded by the magician. It was accidentally found by a scavenger and became his Hundred-Neck Bag for scavenging. Now it has been ravaged by you, and its storage capacity has weakened again. It can no longer be brought into reality."

"However, if you can find the descendant of the Divine Craftsman Clan, you may still have a chance to restore it. As for the storage space of the magic bag, it is only about one cubic meter."

Jiang Xinghuo sighed. Well, he had just painted a big picture for himself. But no matter what, it was better to be able to use it than not to be able to use it.

"You opened the bag."

"You found something in there."

"You counted them one by one and found a fake painting of a vast landscape, a hand-copied copy of the Book of Songs, a blood-stained rag, a chipped dagger, and a large piece of longevity cream."

"Tathagata's talent is triggered."

"You found something wrong with that book of poetry."

"Your Tathagata-garbha talent has enabled you to discover the clues behind this Book of Songs. It turns out that in the interlayer of the cover of the Book of Songs, there is actually a handwritten note by a Feng Shui master."

"You have obtained the handwritten letter from Mr. Feng Shui."

"You have learned of a mysterious legend that has been circulating in Dragon City for many years..."
