Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Lu Renfeng put the lucky gem on the market for 900 Yuanbao. Although the auction house would charge a 2% handling fee once the transaction was completed, this percentage was completely acceptable.

As for the Ice Roar book that Brook had picked up earlier, no one mentioned it again. The gems were already in hand, so a mere skill book didn't matter.

"Brothers, if you have nothing else, I'm going to take on a mission," said Brooke.

"Well, thanks to you this time, Brother Brook, it's a pleasure to work with you!" Lu Renfeng said happily. They were still in a state of excitement. Not only did they get something good, but more importantly, it felt like their luck had returned!

"It's been a pleasure working with you. Goodbye!" Brooke clasped his fists and turned to walk out.

The three of them watched Brook leave. Lu Xiaolong asked, "Why don't you add him as a friend?"

"From the moment he picked up the lucky gem, I never thought of adding him as a friend." Lu Renfeng said.

"That's right! He's just a cultivator from the lower realm, but he refuses to hand over the things when asked? Humph, he really doesn't know how to appreciate it!" Lu Renhu said.

Lu Xiaolong shook his head helplessly. He actually thought Brook was pretty good, especially when he was pulling the Ancient Demon Dragon. Although Brook's Taoist skills were low, he pulled it very steadily. As a fellow Taoist priest, he could sense Brook's level.

Unfortunately, the opponent is only level 46, and the lucky gem should not be something a newcomer can get his hands on.

People should not be greedy. For a level 46 monk in the lower realm, he should be content with picking up a copy of "Ice Roar".

"At least he picked up something and didn't run away. Forget it." Lu Xiaolong said, "The lucky gem will probably have to be on display for a few hours before it can be sold. Should we go look for other monsters?"

"Of course! Now that our luck has returned, it's time to strike while the iron is hot! Let's go find the Ancient General and the Ancient God of War. Maybe there will be a surprise!"

The three returned to the Imperial Square and ran towards the Ancient Generals area outside the east gate, full of hope and confidence.

The quest hall was right next to the auction house, also a magnificent building. It was bustling with people coming and going.

There are many mission officers in the hall, but because Brook's level is too low, he can only accept two tasks: Bravely Breaking Through the Heavenly Gate and Daily Experience.

It was 7 o'clock in the evening. Brooke thought about it and found the experienced mission officer first.

"Hello, sir. I want to receive the daily experience task."

"Here are 12 blank experience scrolls, corresponding to 12 rounds of tasks. They will guide you to different locations and kill a specified number of monsters. Wait until all the experience scrolls are stored, then come back and give them to me. After you complete it, I will reward you with 2 activated experience scrolls." said the experience task officer.

"Does the experience scroll need to be activated?" Brook asked.

"Of course, the blank experience scroll I gave you, even if it's full, still needs to be activated using a special method before it can be used."

"After completing the mission, you only gave me two experience scrolls. What about the remaining 2?"

"You can buy them with ingots. Since you have contributed to their production, I can give you a discount. It's not expensive, 1 ingot per piece. But you can only buy 10." said the experience task officer.

Brook was speechless. He had to spend gold ingots to buy the experience scroll that he had participated in producing.

But there was no other way, since I had to level up anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take on an experience quest. So I took the quest and received 12 blank experience scrolls.

Brook checked and found that the first round of tasks required him to go to the first floor of the illusion and kill any 20 monsters.

To go to the Fantasy Land, one must use the teleporter at the Empire Square. Brook did not go to the Fantasy Land immediately, but instead followed the instructions in the Beginner's Guide and teleported to the East Market, where he found the Skill Master.

Brook took out nine level 9 skill books from his backpack and gave them to the skill master, who decomposed them into 35 pages. He then used these pages to combine a level 900 "Summoning Divine Beast" and learned it on the spot.

Summoning a divine beast. With a whoosh, a sacred beast appeared before him. It was a bit more burly than the divine beast, and its health reached 1680.

The Divine Beast's Defense and Magical Defense both reach 120 points, granting it absolute defense. Even if it takes damage, its HP will be reduced by a maximum of 30 points. Furthermore, the Divine Beast's Attack Power also reaches 120 points, and its fire is true damage, ignoring the enemy's Defense and Magical Defense.

Furthermore, Brook could sense that the Holy Beast's damage was related to his own Daoist skills. The higher his Daoist skills, the stronger the Holy Beast's attack power would be.

Brook's current Dao skill level was only around 60, still too low. A quick way to improve his Dao skill was to enhance his equipment. The equipment enhancement master happened to be in the East Market. Brook rushed over and removed the Enhanced Stars from his equipment one by one.

The Enhance Star doesn't always succeed. If successful, the equipment will gain one star and a point of Taoism. If it fails, you will need to spend double the price to restore the failed Enhance Star and then continue to Enhance the Star.

The Thunderbolt and War God equipment Brook is currently wearing can only be strengthened up to 8 times.

The price of strong stars increases gradually. The first star is only 1, the second star is 3, then 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, and the eighth star is 33.

Fortunately, the only cost was gold coins, which Brook had brought with him. In the end, all 10 pieces of equipment were upgraded to 8 stars, which cost a total of more than 6000 million gold coins.

Brook's current Daoist magic has reached 23-142, a significant improvement. However, his health is only 482, his defense is 11-32, and his magic resistance is 10-24, pitifully low. Even with the temporary defense from the Holy Armor, it barely reaches 40. If encountered by a more powerful monster, such as an ancient dragon, a single hit would essentially kill him instantly.

You have to work harder and upgrade as soon as possible.

Brook returned to the Imperial Plaza and found the young teleporter from before.

"Sir, I have to trouble you again. Please teleport me to the illusion." Brook said.

"The illusion is in Maya City on the second-level continent. I can only teleport you to Maya City first, and then you can find the teleporter there to enter the illusion." said the teleporter.

"The Mayan city on the second-level continent? Are you talking about the companion continent of the Dragon Empire? Is it dangerous there?" Brook asked.

"Haha, if you just go to the fantasy world to complete the mission and don't go to the dangerous area, there shouldn't be any danger." The teleporter laughed.

"Yes, thank you, sir. Please help me teleport."

With a whoosh, Brook's vision went dark. After a few seconds, light returned, and he was now in an unfamiliar square.
