Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Nine kinds of divine weapons? I'd like to hear more about them." Brook said.

"The nine kinds of artifacts are: resurrection ring, protective ring, invisibility ring, paralysis ring, teleportation ring, flame ring, defense ring, detection necklace, and skill necklace. Each artifact has its own special function. Moreover, over time, the deeper power of the artifact can be developed." said Master Tianhong.

"Memory sets and prayer sets, don't they count?" Brooke asked.

"Suits can only be considered pseudo-artifacts at best. They all have flaws to varying degrees and are unable to unleash their true power. There are also Rainbow Demon Suits and Demon Blood Suits, but they are not true artifacts."

"Saint, what do you mean by deep-level power?" Brook asked again.

"For example, the defense ring. Initially, it could only be used for healing, like a Taoist's level 1 healing spell. It didn't add much health and was pretty useless. But later, I gradually realized its deeper power and discovered that the defense ring can also double my defense and magic resistance. Now, I can even cast a defensive barrier that covers the entire fishing village, making it impossible for ordinary monsters to get close."

"I believe that other divine artifacts should also have similar deep powers, which require the monks who wear them to slowly experience." said Master Tianhong.

"So that's how it is! Thank you for the advice, Saint!" Brook and Bayin thanked him together.

Master Tianhong's words suddenly enlightened the two. It turned out the artifact held a deeper power. With careful study, it would unleash even greater power.

"You're welcome. I'm just telling you what I know. Ultimately, it's up to you. Okay, you guys should leave now. I'm going to activate the formation, and no one else can disturb me right now. Come back to me in 30 days."

The two reluctantly said goodbye to Master Tianhong. This trip to Cangyue Island and meeting Master Tianhong were very beneficial.

Brook and Bayin walked out of the house. It was almost 10 o'clock, and the sun was setting in Marfa.

"Sunset! This is the first time I see the sunset at the seaside." Bayin said.

"Me too, let's go check it out together."

The two came to the plank road at the pier, and imitating Master Tianhong, they sat cross-legged, facing the sea, and quietly watched the sunset slowly set.

Today the sea was shimmering, the waves small and calm. The setting sun in the distance was like a burning torch, a fiery crimson, illuminating the surrounding clouds with a crimson glow. Slowly, the crimson light faded, and the sky and sea were dyed golden by the brilliant glow of the sunset. The sun slowly set, as if it had fallen into the sea. The sea remained boundless, but the sun grew smaller and dimmer, gradually disappearing, leaving only a sliver of golden afterglow in the sky.

The most beautiful and awe-inspiring thing is nature. Like the sun, it rises and sets, never resting, tireless, and fleeting for eternity. Humans pride themselves on being intelligent beings, but compared to it, what are we?

Isn't it just about collecting the 9 great artifacts?

Isn't it just the occupation of Shabak for 6 years?

Isn't it just about becoming stronger and then sealing the Red Star?

This is the responsibility of a monk. There is no need to be pretentious. This is how it should be.

The two continued to watch quietly until the sunset completely disappeared and the stars flashed.

"Brooke, are you there?" asked the shrimp fan in the guild.

"exist."

"Just received news that all members of the "Kingdom of Kings" are heading to the Zuma Temple to kill the Zuma leader. Should we stop them?"

"Are you afraid of them?" Brooke asked.

"Of course I'm not afraid! Even if they hit Zuma's head, so what!"

"Alright, then, leave them alone. Is there any guild activity happening today?" Brooke asked. Even if they were stopped today, they'd still be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Why let others lead them by the nose?

"Old rules, clear the Red Moon first, then level up freely."

"Then carry on as usual. I'll come find you later. I need your help with something."

After finishing the conversation with Xiao Xia Fan, Brook turned to Bayin and said, "Let's go to the Bone Demon Cave."

Bayin replied nonsensically, "Concentrate your magic power into your eyes, and you can clearly see the equipment the person is wearing."

"Oh?" Brook tried it and really saw Bayin's equipment clearly!

"I've been trying, but unfortunately I can't concentrate for a long time. It's very tiring." Bayin said.

"Even for a short time, it's already very useful. It actually has such an effect. Master Tianhong is really amazing. Let's give this move a name, let's call it: Condensation. How about it?" Brook suggested.

"Condensation? Okay."

The two had just returned, anxious to find Master Tianhong, and hadn't even cleaned their backpacks yet. So, they went to the warehouse first, storing items like Dragon Slayer, skill books, Zuma, Wo Ma, and Blessing Oil. They then went to the store to sell the weapons and clothes they'd found, along with other more valuable items. Finally, they were going to the pharmacy to restock on potions.

At this time, the two saw someone at the drugstore merchant's place.

A male warrior, and a Marfa monk; very young, with a very special name.

Brock and Bayin saw clearly the equipment he was wearing.

Sabre, heavy armor, bronze helmet, blue jade necklace, sturdy gloves, large bracelet, bronze ring with 0-1 attack, black crystal ring with 0-2 attack.

He was wearing a mess of equipment, all of which were of ordinary attributes, without a single piece of top-quality equipment.

The male soldier seemed to sense someone was watching him, and suddenly turned around, immediately seeing Brook and Bayin in the distance. He quickly stepped back two steps like a frightened bird, ready to escape at any time.

Ah~ It’s Monk Mafa!

The male warrior finally saw the identities of Brook and the other man and stopped retreating.

Brook and the other man came closer and clasped their fists and said:

"Biqi Ginkgo Village, Level 42 Taoist Priest, Brook."

"Venomous Snake Valley Village, Level 42 Mage, Bayin."

The male warrior calmed himself down and returned the greeting with a fist. "Bichi Border Village, level 24 warrior, long chicken."

It turned out to be a monk from the border village. But why was he only level 24?

As a cultivator, everyone works hard to level up. You know, even if it's just Qinglv, it's already level 35.

"Hello, Brother Changji, why are you...alone on Cangyue Island?" Brook asked.

The chicken's eyes turned red and tears seemed to be about to flow.

Brooke and Bayin looked at each other, what was going on?

"Just call me Little Chicken. I...I have to go to the Bone Demon Cave right away. Can you two talk while walking?" Changji wiped away his tears silently, his face flushed red, and he looked a little anxious.

"Oh, okay." Brooke and Bayin quickly bought some potions, and then followed the long chicken to the Bone Demon Cave.

"Chicken, are we just going to run over there like this? No need to randomly roll?" Brook asked. It would probably take more than 20 minutes to run over there like this.

"I don't have a random scroll. The grocer on Cang Yue Island doesn't have it." Chang Ji replied.

"Oh...I have two bundles here. Do you want me to give them to you first?"

The long chicken immediately stopped and asked again, "Okay, give it to me! Do you have a return scroll?"

"There are only two Portal Scrolls. Here are some for you too." Brooke threw the two bundles of Random Scrolls and the two Portal Scrolls on the ground. Although he had Portal Stones and Random Stones, he always kept a few spare scrolls in his backpack for emergencies.

Changji was overjoyed and immediately wanted to pick it up. However, his backpack was full and he couldn't pick it up. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and threw out four bundles of high-level gold healing potions. Then he continued running forward.

"Chicken, don't you need to be random?"

"Use it later." Changji said softly.

Brook and Bayin looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen anyone so frugal. Considering Changji's equipment and level, everything seemed very abnormal.

"Chicken, tell us, what's going on?"
