Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Dear clothing store owner, hello. Are you open so early?"

"Hello, respected monk Mafa. It's getting late now, so we have to open for business." said the clothing store owner.

"This Cang Yue Island has not been officially opened yet, and it seems that there are no other cultivators here. Boss, you guys are really dedicated." Brook said with a smile.

"There are indeed not many monks, but there are still a few. We are open for business and cannot be picky. Whether it is one customer or 1 customers, we must provide good service wholeheartedly." said the clothing store owner.

It turns out there are already monks here!

"The boss is amazing! I admire you. We just came from Bi Qi and are not very familiar with Cang Yue Island. There is something we find very strange and we would like to ask you for advice." Brook said.

"You're welcome, go ahead."

"In our village of Bi Qi, there is usually only one entrance and exit, and there are guards with big swords to prevent the invasion of monsters. But here, the village is open on all four sides, and there are no guards with big swords. Aren't you afraid of the monsters on the island?" Brook asked.

"Haha, although our fishing village doesn't have sword guards, we have the Rainbow Mage guarding it. Ordinary monsters don't dare to get close to it!" said the clothing store owner proudly.

"I see! Where is Master Tianhong? We were just about to go and see him."

"The Saint is usually at the west pier." The boss pointed in the direction of the pier opposite.

"Thank you boss!"

Following the direction given by the clothing store owner, Brooke and Bayin came to the dock and followed the wooden plank road forward to search.

Several fishing boats were moored at the pier. The waves rippled, the tide rose and fell, white seabirds flew back and forth, chirping melodiously. The sun shone on the clear water, creating a dazzling array of colors, a scene as poetic as it was picturesque.

After searching for a while, they finally spotted a figure on the outermost wooden path. When they approached, they saw it was none other than Master Tianhong.

At this moment, Master Tianhong was sitting comfortably facing the sea, and seemed to be holding an exquisite jade flute in his hand.

"Brook and Bayin, monks of Mafa, pay their respects to Master Tianhong!" Brook and Bayin bowed respectfully.

"You're welcome, both of you. Are you... the cultivators of this session?" Master Tianhong asked.

"Exactly."

"You've reached level 42 so quickly. You're really formidable young people. You're much stronger than I was back then. Hey, a teleportation ring, a protective ring! You guys are really amazing!" It was obvious that Master Tianhong was very powerful. Not only could he know the levels of the two people accurately, he could even see through their equipment.

"I just got lucky and happened to get it. I came here this time because I have a question about the artifact and I want to ask the Saint for advice." Brook took out the resurrection ring and continued, "The durability of this resurrection ring has dropped to 0. I wonder if the Saint can repair it?"

"There's actually a resurrection ring!" Mage Tianhong exclaimed as he took it and examined it carefully. After a while, he asked, "Where did this ring come from?"

"I got it by killing Zuma leader." Brook answered truthfully.

"Oh~ Are there any other magical artifacts?" Master Tianhong asked again.

"Well... there's also an invisibility ring, which was given to me by a senior." Brook paused and continued, "Actually, there's also a paralysis ring, but it's been stolen by a warrior from another world."

Master Tianhong looked at the two of them intently and muttered to himself:

"Could this be true? The artifacts all appeared one by one, and they were all found by the same person. This actually happened..."

Master Tianhong suddenly burst into laughter again:

"It seems this is God's will! Good! Very good! Marfa Continent is saved!"

Brook and Bayin looked at each other, wondering what Master Tianhong was talking about.

Mage Tianhong looked back at Brook and the others and explained, "Before the Great Celestial Venerable died, he said intermittently: In the future, a man of great fortune will appear on the Marfa Continent. With powerful magic power, he will ascend to the northern sky and seal the Red Star in one fell swoop."

"We all thought this was just Tianzun's last wish before he died, but unexpectedly, his wish came true!"

Mage Tianhong looked at Brook with joy and said slowly, "It seems that you are the one with good fortune!"

"Ah?!" Brook was stunned. This was praising him too much. He quickly explained, "Saint, it's not what you think. These artifacts were not obtained by me alone. Most of them were obtained by Bayin and I teaming up to kill monsters. Moreover, most of the damage to the monsters was contributed by Bayin. In addition, there was another warrior. It was only by working together as a team of three that we were able to collect so many artifacts."

Brook was just a mortal from Ginkgo Village. If Situ Haoyun hadn't unexpectedly taken a liking to him and forcibly initiating him, he would have barely become a Level 1 Taoist priest. In terms of qualifications, Brook couldn't compare to Bayin and others.

"Haha, that's not what I said, but what the Great Heavenly Venerable said." Mage Tianhong laughed, "Actually, if three Marfa monks from the Battle and Mage Dao team up together, it can indeed increase the drop rate of items, but it won't be so easy to drop artifacts."

"You know, over the past hundred years, among all the demonic beasts killed by so many Marfa monks, only one artifact has been discovered. It is this defensive ring I wear, and it is just the most insignificant of all the artifacts."

"It's only been a little over four months, and you've already acquired so many artifacts! Tell me, does this count as good fortune?"

Brook and Bayin didn't know what to say. As Master Tianhong said, it really couldn't be explained by just luck or coincidence.

Is it really good luck?

Am I the one destined by fate?

Brook quickly shook his head. He was not such a superstitious person.

Thinking back to what the Demon Veteran had said to him, even the Demon Sealing City Lord's strength was unfathomable. And he was just a clone. He couldn't imagine how powerful the original body on the Red Star was.

He was asked to fly to the Red Star and seal such a powerful monster? Even if he restored the durability of the resurrection ring to 100 points, he would probably die.

Perhaps I did have a little bit of luck. But in many things, luck isn't enough. Ultimately, strength is what matters most.

"Ahem... Lord Saint, actually, the other warrior in our team seems to have better luck than me. Not only is he prone to dropping top-quality equipment, he is also a genius at drinking blessed oil. It is very likely that he is the person with good luck that you are talking about. If there is a chance, I can bring him to see you." Brook said.

"Haha, I'm not interested in top-grade equipment and blessed oil. They are not magical artifacts. Well, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. Don't feel pressured, just think of it as if I saw it wrong. Some things will be revealed in the future." Master Tianhong said with relief.

"We'll talk about the future later. Now let's talk about this resurrection ring." Master Tianhong returned to the topic.
