Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Several people quickly picked up the items on the ground, including the corpse of the ancient emperor, but no soul materials were found.

"I accept this Hero Gem on behalf of the Wenren Family. Brook, this time it all depends on you. I will give you a reward of 1000 Yuanbao and record it in the family warehouse account."

"Thank you!" Brooke didn't refuse. He really needed the gold ingots. The market price of the hero gem was between 1600-2000 gold ingots. Wenren Muxue was quite generous.

"Can I ask a question? Why can hero gems be sold for up to 2000 yuan, while lucky gems can only be sold for more than 800 yuan?" Brook asked.

Among the six gems, the most expensive are the Hero Gem and the Supreme Gem, followed by the Soul Gem and the Blessing Gem, then the Mayan Gem, and the cheapest is the Lucky Gem.

"Because Hero Gems and Supreme Gems are used to forge weapons above rank 6. Soul Gems and Blessing Gems are used to forge clothing above rank 6. As for Maya and Lucky Gems, they can be used to forge jewelry above rank 6. However, as for jewelry, certain high-level monsters have a chance of directly dropping it, so relatively few people forge jewelry, so the prices of Maya Gems and Lucky Gems are naturally lower."

"In addition, Mayan gems have other uses. For example, together with the other four types of gems, they can be synthesized into a special skill called "Body Shield". Therefore, Mayan gems are more expensive than lucky gems." Wenren Muxue explained.

"Body Shield?"

"This is a passive defensive skill that can be learned at level 85, regardless of class. It reduces damage by 50%, blocking approximately 5 hits, and has a cooldown of approximately 30 seconds. It's a very practical skill, and the difference between having and not having it is worlds apart."

Brook's eyes lit up when he heard this. Mages had magic shields, warriors had high HP, but Taoist priests were neither good nor bad, appearing rather mediocre. The Dragon Empire actually had a skill as powerful as "Body Shield," practically tailor-made for him. He had to learn it!

Brooke thought for a moment and said, "Muxue, can I ask you for another favor?"

"You said."

Brooke took out two pieces of paper and handed them over: "This is the IOU written by Xuanyuan Xingyu and Duanmu Ci. Could you please send someone to collect it?"

Wenren Muxue took it, opened it, and looked through it curiously. She asked with a smile, "Why would Xuanyuan Xingyu and Duanmu Ci be willing to write such an IOU?"

"Just think of it as the underground palace trial. In order to snatch the second level of sponsorship from the Tuoba family, Brooke gave them an idea. This IOU is the reward." Wenren Muyue explained on the side.

"Oh~ I understand. I will send someone over. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back now." Wenren Muxue said.

"Um... please keep the sealing formation and the artifact a secret for me," Brooke pleaded. This was the reason why only Wenren Muxue was allowed to come here, rather than the entire team.

"I will." Wenren Muxue nodded, told the two of them to be careful, and then left.

Brooke explored the other ancient monsters in the wilds of the Dragon Empire and found that many had been killed, leaving only a single mutated Fox Moon Dzi Bead. This monster was difficult to defeat. It wasn't that it was unbeatable, but because it couldn't move, it was easy to be discovered and robbed. For now, he had no choice but to give up.

"No more monsters for now," Brooke said.

"Then let's go to the Chamber of Commerce to buy blood essence. We can't forget this." Wenren Muyue said.

"it is good."

The two returned to the city and teleported to the Chamber of Commerce.

血脉精华每天只能购买一次，分为三种价格。2000神龙币购买10个血脉精华；10元宝购买50个血脉精华；50元宝购买250个血脉精华。

Both of them chose the 50 yuan one.

For cultivators, the demand for Bloodline Essence is enormous. According to Mu Yue, Wenren Muxue is currently progressing from Rank 4 to Rank 5, having unlocked all nine of her Bloodline nodes, save for the final one. Each Rank 9 requires 5 Bloodline Essence. Wenren Muxue finally managed to accumulate enough Bloodline Essence, but luck ran out, and she failed twice in a row, preventing her from reincarnating.

Therefore, you should buy blood essence every day, and try to buy the most expensive one. Slowly save it, it will come in handy in the future.

"Where are we going next?" Wenren Muyue asked.

"Let's go to the fantasy world to level up. I hope that next time we meet Tuoba Xiongwei, we can stand in front of him with dignity instead of hiding from him." Brook said.

"Yeah. Let's go level up!"

The two of them arrived at the illusionary realm, scouting monsters on the third, fourth, and fifth levels. It was already 5:200 p.m., and the monks were few and far between. Many small monsters, unattended, gathered in groups, offering Brook and his companions a good opportunity. Their leveling efficiency was high, and their experience points were steadily increasing. By the end of the last hour, they had earned over million experience points.

At this time, the mutated Fire Dragon Master spawned in the Underground Abyss. The two went over to kill it, and after getting the Fire Dragon equipment, they returned to the Fantasy Realm to level up again.

The two of them went back and forth between the Abyss Underground Palace and the Illusionary Realm to kill the bosses, and then leveled up until after 9 o'clock in the evening. However, as they practiced, Wenren Muyue's movements became slower and slower, and finally he even fell asleep with his head down.

Brooke couldn't help but laugh. Wenren Muyue was still young and easily sleepy. But she could actually fall asleep while standing. It was really hard for her.

"Mu Yue~" Brooke woke her up softly.

"Yeah~ I'm fine, just take a nap."

"Almost done, time to go home. It'll be the same if I get up early to level up tomorrow."

"Oh~ okay..." Wenren Muyue was really tired. She usually went home after 6 o'clock. Today she was busy with Brook all day and she really couldn't hold on any longer.

The two returned to the family square. Brooke sent the somewhat confused Wenren Muyue back to her courtyard and handed her over to the care of her maid before turning around and leaving.

Brook didn't return to his courtyard. It was only 9 p.m., and he wasn't sleepy. He also didn't continue leveling in the fantasy realm. Without Wenren Muyue's group attack skills, his leveling efficiency was only half as good as before, which was not worth it.

Brook came to the Wenren family warehouse and found the family warehouse official stationed there.

"Hello, are you here to pick something up so late?" asked the administrator.

"Yes. Please help me check how many gold ingots are in my account."

"Please show me your family token." The administrator didn't know Brook and thought he was an ordinary guest.

Brook took out the white jade token.

The administrator immediately became respectful: "VIP!! Ah~ Master Brook! Excuse me, excuse me! I, I'll check for you right away, please wait... There are a total of 2020 Yuanbao in your account."

Brook nodded. It seemed that Wenren Muxue had already added 1000 yuan of hero gems.

"I want to extract them all. If possible, convert all these ingots into Fire Dragon equipment and give them to me."

"...Okay. That's 202 Fire Dragon Equipment pieces in total. I'll get them right away."

"Wait a moment. Let me ask again, how many Fire Dragon equipment are currently in the family warehouse?"

"...In reply to Master Brook, there are currently 782 pieces of Fire Dragon equipment in the family warehouse."

"Hmm..." Brook paused and asked, "What about the second-level equipment such as Tongyun and Nihuo?"

"There are 248 pieces of rank equipment in total."

Brooke calculated silently in his mind and continued to ask: "Can I get an extra item worth 1 ingots?"

"...Yes, the Wenren family has a rule that direct family members and distinguished guests can advance 1 yuan in treasures. They can slowly return it to the warehouse when they have money in the future." The family warehouse manager replied.

"Okay then. The 2020 Yuanbao just now, plus the 1 Yuanbao you paid in advance, will all be converted into Fire Dragon equipment and second-level Tongyun Nihuo equipment. However, my backpack space is limited and can't hold so much, so you should get me 80 Fire Dragon equipment first. Prepare the rest as well, I'll come to get them soon." Brook said.

"...All of it? Yes, Master Brook. I'll do it right away."

Soon, Brook arrived at the manor with a backpack full of fire dragon equipment. At this time, there were not many monks in the manor. The people of the Dragon Empire had the habit of working from sunrise to sunset, and there were not many night owls.

The Furnace of Heaven and Earth was currently unused, so the people who were watching the excitement naturally dispersed.

Brooke arrived at the northern furnace entrance. This location was further from the manor's teleport point, and its view was blocked by the Heaven and Earth Furnace, making it more low-key and less likely to be discovered.

There were many people during the day, so Brook only melted more than 20 pieces of fire dragon equipment. It was just a taste and could only be considered an appetizer.

There are fewer people in the evening, so it’s time for a formal dinner.
