Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 69 "Gazetteer of Liaodong"

Marquis Yangwu, Xue Lu, whose original name was Xue Liu, was from Xuejiadao in Jiaodong.

More than a hundred years ago, he followed Emperor Yongshun in raising an army to restore the world and revitalize the Great Shun Dynasty.

He participated in several northern expeditions and oversaw the construction of Yanjing (present-day Beijing), eventually rising to the rank of Right Vice-General and being granted the title of Marquis of Yangwu.

He died at the age of 72 and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Yin and the posthumous name of Zhongwu.

Legend has it that when he was born, the roof was leaking, and flocks of crows and magpies gathered on it, vying to cover the leaking parts with their wings.

Just then, two commanders, who were on orders to inspect the sea route, passed by here and took shelter from the rain at Xue's house.

Upon learning of the birth of their son, they exclaimed in surprise, "This child is destined for greatness! Otherwise, why would he have two commanders like us guarding his home?"

After reaching adulthood, Xue Lu took his wife to Liaoyang to serve in the army. After taking shelter from the rain on a towering cliff, the cliff collapsed.

People from nearby villages saw a tiger leap out from under the cliff, attach itself to them, and then disappear.

From then on, Lord Xue became exceptionally brave and his demeanor was immediately different from before.

Later, due to his outstanding military achievements, he was granted the hereditary title of Marquis of Yangwu by the imperial court...

“叮~你阅读了《辽东风物志》第11卷第6章，你获得500历练值、500功法修炼值、500百工熟练度。”

In the game "Da Qian Hong Meng", there are many ways to gain experience points, such as reading books.
This "Records of Customs and Scenery in Liaodong" consists of 12 volumes, each with about a dozen or twenty chapters. The content varies from volume to volume, and the benefits of reading it also differ.

Items disappear after being viewed once in the game; they are consumables.

There are also players in the game who don't like fighting and who prefer literature and history, and they've collected all 12 volumes. It covers everything from human geography to mythology and legends.

This chapter was purchased by Chen Xiuxian for a small amount of money based on a post on the forum.

I bought two boxes of books just for this one chapter tucked inside.

However, he tried it, and although the chapter didn't disappear after he finished reading it, and nothing changed, he showed it to Lao Niu, Dou Zhongde, Mimi, and even Hama Jinzi, and they all gained nothing.

It was as if this were just a normal fragment of an ancient book.

Chen Xiuxian: I really am a player with unparalleled talent!
Lately, he's been following the latest updates and live streams on the forum.

what:
"How Zombies Are Made" and "My Date with a Zombie" are about zombie making, niche spiritual paths.

"The Grand Canal Chronicles: Twenty Years of the Canal Gang" tells the story of a player who joined the canal gang.

"My Seven Days of Being Kidnapped by the Demonic Path" is purely fiction, but the plot is very exciting! Especially the parts about the witch~
"The Thieves Company - Empty Gate" is a player's account of their serendipitous experience joining the Empty Gate. What a master thief!
"Immortal Destiny: Bald-Tailed Old Li from Wendeng, Shandong" is a collection of mythological stories gathered by players from Shandong, which are also related to Liaodong. Many people are researching below to see if this bald-tailed old Li is the Dragon King of that river.

"Recommended Sects for Beginners" is a strategy guide that lists the advantages and disadvantages of many cultivation sects.

After reading this, Chen Xiuxian felt even more that the sects were difficult to deal with.

"Starting with a Dog: The Self-Cultivation of the Beast Taming Style," Chen Xiuxian can now be considered half a beast taming style practitioner, right?
"Where Does a Gambler Lose Every Day: Upgrading Magic Weapons Live Stream" features live streams of upgrading magical artifacts, with a high gambling element! One hand can make you poor, the other rich!

All I can say is that the players are incredibly resourceful!

There must be tens of thousands of people making a living just from game streaming!
……

Besides this leisure and entertainment, Chen Xiuxian also collected three other pieces of useful information.

One of them he thought would be very useful!
The first piece of information is about a ghost.

This ghost isn't high-level, but it has unique abilities, and players in the game who need it will try to farm one.

Chen Xiuxian thought that if he had time, he could go and take a look. After all, one adventure could yield two rewards!
The second one is about intelligence concerning an organization.

The game's timeline is now almost three years in the future, and many things are beginning to surface.

Some of them are quite noteworthy, such as the one that later caused quite a stir and even involved many players' "destined paths".

This is something like a grassroots organization or a religion.

I initially thought they were just ordinary folk associations, but I never expected them to actually be quite capable.

Later, this caused a huge embarrassment to Shencheng, which made many players who had been deceived and cheated deeply resentful!

—The players have been terribly scammed!
At first, they thought it was some kind of folk religion that had mastered some magic. Many players even completed related quests, received magic rewards, and some even joined the "Path of Destiny."

As it turned out, when the Boarmen invaded Liaodong and a great battle broke out, it was discovered that this Youyuandao was actually a remote branch of the White Lotus Sect!
They caused a huge mess in Shenyang, ruining the lives of many close players!

This is something Chen Xiuxian should pay attention to, but we have to take it slowly. The information pieced together from scattered posts is not very comprehensive.

Moreover, he felt that his own abilities were somewhat insufficient.

The third piece of information was the one he felt would be of great value.

In the eastern part of Shenyang, there is a place called Longji Hutong. It is said that in the past, the terrain here was higher than other places, and it was raised. Later, it was leveled after the city was expanded.

It is said that on stormy nights, nearby residents can often faintly hear the roar of a dragon!

They say this place is supernatural!
In the game, a player unexpectedly met a treasure hunter from the south.

This treasure hunter surnamed Dou has a "treasure catalog" that records the habits and characteristics of various unborn celestial and terrestrial treasures.

The treasure hunter surnamed Dou rode a black donkey and lived in Shenyang for more than half a year. He finally figured out what the "Dragon's Roar in the Rainy Night" in Longji Hutong was.

It turns out there's an old house in this alley, built before Emperor Yongshun revived the Great Shun Dynasty and reclaimed Liaodong!
The roof beam of that old house was a single, dark piece of wood.

This piece of wood looks ordinary, but it is actually a piece of dragon scale wood.

Located in the feng shui position of Longji Hutong in Shenyang, it absorbed the energy of water and became a treasure over the years.

Although this piece of dragon scale wood is only a level 3 rare item, it can be very useful if used properly.

Even if it's used for refining magical artifacts, it's still a top-quality material, and it's possible to refine a Tier 4 magic weapon!
Then came the treasure hunt... In the end, that player gave the treasure hunter a taste of his own medicine, showing him what a despicable player really is!
That player doesn't think he's being despicable at all!

"I simply chose the one I liked from the two options for the task."

However, the post said that strangely, after he killed that treasure hunter surnamed Dou, not only did the man die without gaining any experience points, but he also didn't get any loot!

Even that black donkey has disappeared!

Chen Xiuxian felt that if he got his hands on this Dragon Scale Ridge, he could try to combine it with his Grass Dragon, which should be quite impressive!

This is really a promising opportunity.

However, to obtain the Dragon Scale Ridge, we must wait until the Grain Rain season in early spring, which is still three months away!
At this juncture, let's try the "Silver Ghost" and the "Path of Fate" first.

……

Chen Xiuxian ran through the Breakthrough Realm dungeon ["Savage Valley" (Blue)] again.

This time, there were still four teammates, two men and two women.

However, this time the teammates weren't very strong.

Especially the two female teammates, one of whom was a newbie, level 17, who had just been able to enter this dungeon.

The other two male teammates weren't very high level either, mainly because their skills weren't good enough.

One of my teammates even followed the path of a martial artist, and he suffered a lot in this Savage Valley.

Just getting past the leeches is tough enough.

The two girls were so scared they almost left the group!
Chen Xiuxian was practically using every ounce of his strength!
I managed to complete the dungeon with four not-so-strong teammates.

I didn't get any valuable information about the game from them, but I did hear a lot about real-world issues.

But Chen Xiuxian has already transmigrated, so why should he care about that?

The two female teammates even wanted to ask Chen Xiuxian for a friend request, clearly captivated by his looks and skills, but Chen Xiuxian's system didn't have that function!

I could only politely decline by saying it was something else.
This dungeon still didn't trigger the "dungeon within a dungeon," but I did get a [Water-Repelling Bead (Blue)] from a magic item. When you carry it, you can create a small, dry space in the water, allowing you to move and breathe underwater.

Other aspects are unremarkable.
