Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The 3rd level pill is a rare, yet not precious, item. It can perfectly replace bloodline essence and is used to attempt to open a bloodline node.

It's rare because it only has a small chance of dropping from monsters in the Warcraft battlefield. It's not precious because, after all, at the 3rd level, each bloodline node requires only 450 bloodline essences. So, theoretically, a 3rd level pill, converted proportionally, is only worth 90 yuan.

There are currently just over 10 rank 3 pills left in the Wenren family’s warehouse.

The cultivators of the Dragon Empire generally weren't in a rush to reincarnate. They would slowly purchase bloodline essence from the Chamber of Commerce, eventually amassing enough over time. Therefore, while this rare reincarnation pill was useful, there wasn't an urgent need for it. Due to its rarity, the major clans didn't sell it, but instead stored it for use by their core disciples in special circumstances.

As for the level of reincarnation, in the Dragon Empire, you can reincarnate once at level 50. If you don't reincarnate, your level cap is 70. Similarly, after the first reincarnation, you can reincarnate again at level 70. If you don't reincarnate, your level cap will be 90. And so on, there is a span of 20 levels.

However, few people would immediately pursue the first and second transformations upon reaching level 50 or 70. This is because at lower levels, the success rate of opening up the Bloodline is lowered, leading to repeated failures, just like Brook did before, resulting in a waste of Bloodline Essence. Therefore, the first transformation is typically held at level 60, the second at level 80, and the third at level 100. This way, the success rate of opening up the Bloodline Essence is maintained, ensuring a guaranteed success rate.

Therefore, Wenren Muxue's requirement for Brook was to reach level 100. However, getting from level 70 to 100 in a single week was incredibly challenging. Wenren Muxue didn't intend to use the family's resources on Brook indefinitely. There were rules for how much gold each person could receive each week. With so many members in the family, the rules couldn't be broken; everything depended on Brook himself.

※※※※※※※

Brooke and Wenren Muyue were rushing to the transporter when they received a message from Wenren Muxue.

"Your second sister said: If possible, let me try to upgrade to level 100 within a week." Brook asked.

"Oh my God! Reach level 1 in one week?" Wenren Muyue said in surprise.

"She just said she would try her best. I agreed," Brooke said.

"Are you planning to upgrade without sleep?"

"Do your best and give it a try. Just think of it as a spur. There's no harm in leveling up quickly."

"Well... actually you don't need to go to the 5th continent. I've seen that summoning talisman. The baby summoned has a high blood volume, but the attack power is very weak; the movement speed is relatively slow, and it can only be used as a meat shield; once it dies, it's gone, and even if it doesn't die, it can only last for 2 hours. In short, there are many disadvantages. Although it can improve the efficiency of killing monsters, the current situation is that there are more people than monsters, and there is no use buying a summoning talisman." Wenren Muyue said, she felt that there was no need to buy it.

"There's no monster to fight right now anyway, so why not go and take a look?"

"Okay, whatever."

The fifth-level companion continent.

As soon as I teleported here, I immediately saw a white snow-capped mountain in front of me. It turned out that the snow-capped mountain on the north side of the Dragon Empire was this fifth-level companion continent.

"That's the Snowland Ice Palace, the lair of the Ice City Emperor." Wenren Muyue said.

"The Emperor of Ice City? Isn't he the prototype of the ancient emperor?" Brook asked.

"Correct."

"Then we can go and fight too!" Brook said.

"No. The minimum requirement to enter the Snowy Ice Palace is the fourth level. Even if you reach the fourth level, you still have to face competition from other cultivators. Many fifth-level cultivators will also go there. This is because the Ice City Emperor can drop fifth-level legendary equipment. So it is best to enter after reaching the fifth level, otherwise you will not be able to compete at all." Wenren Muyue explained.

"Forget it. The Underground Abyss is still the best, no one will fight over it."

"The Abyss is great, but it's a pity it only lasts for three months."

"Who will own the underground abyss after three months?" Brook had never asked this question before.

"Then we'll compete in contribution to the Warcraft battlefield. See who kills the most Warcraft within a year. This is a real fight, no cheating allowed. So, in the end, everything will go to the three major families."

"I see."

The two chatted while observing their surroundings. This safe zone was at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Fortunately, the cultivators had magical energy flowing through their bodies, and their physiques were far superior to those of ordinary people, so they were not afraid of the cold air.

Several monks hurried by, most of them fifth-rank monks, their bodies aglow with golden light. Occasionally, a fourth-rank or third-rank monk would pass by. Brooke saw a monk wielding the Taurus Dao Sword arrive at a place called the Sanctuary Illusion Teleporter. After a conversation, he disappeared.

"The Sanctuary Illusion? What is that place?"

"That's where high-level monks level up. If high-level monks level up in the illusion, their experience will decay because the levels of the monsters are relatively low, so they have to level up in the Holy Domain Illusion. In addition, I heard that there are leaders in the Holy Domain Illusion, so some monks will also go there to get equipment. However, the Holy Domain Illusion has a level limit, and there are many monsters in it, and they are relatively strong, so we'd better not go there." Wenren Muyue said worriedly.

"Where is the Zodiac Hall?" Brooke made another new discovery.

"This is where you can find Zodiacs. Zodiacs are special equipment that can increase character attributes. There are 12 types of Zodiacs in total. If you collect them all, you'll gain special effects like freezing and shielding. However, you can't wear them until you reach level 4, so let's forget about it for now."

"Oh~ The Dragon Empire is so vast and rich in resources, it has all kinds of strange and weird equipment!" Brook exclaimed.

"That is!"

"Hey, I found the merchant who sold the summoning talisman. Let's go take a look."

The summoning talisman merchant was a young man who looked smart and capable, but at the moment he seemed listless.

"Hello, boss. I heard that you sell summoning talismans here?" Brook asked.

Seeing a customer coming, the summoning talisman merchant immediately became alert: "Yes. I have three summoning talismans here: Mutated Skeleton, Ice Wolf, and Snow Warrior. Which one do you want?"

"This is my first time here. Which one is better? Can you give me some details?"

"Yes. The mutant skeleton has 1 health points and 100 attack power, and costs 2 yuan each; the ice wolf has 5 health points and 200 attack power, and costs 8 yuan each; the snow warrior has 10 health points and 300 attack power, and costs 18 yuan each." said the summoning talisman merchant.

Brooke pondered for a moment and asked, "Why does the summoned mutant skeleton have so much health, 1?"

"Haha, because they are not ordinary monsters, but captured in the Warcraft battlefield."

"Capture? Using the Light of Temptation?" Brooke asked tentatively, because the magician's Light of Temptation only lasts for 2 hours.

"Haha, that's about right." The summoning talisman said vaguely.

Brook continued to ask, "Are these the only three kinds of monsters? I mean, since you can capture these three, I believe you can definitely capture other monsters."

"Sir, capturing monsters is our family's secret, the very basis of our survival. The monsters of the Warcraft battlefield are forbidden to be captured. Our family has passed down the techniques for capturing these three monsters through generations." The summoning talisman merchant clearly wasn't about to reveal the truth. He then changed the subject and enthusiastically began selling, "As tanks, these three monsters are more than enough. Mutated skeletons are cheap, but they have low health and can't withstand the leader's attacks. Many people choose to buy ice wolves, but since you two are both distinguished individuals from aristocratic families, why not try the Snow Region Warrior?"

Brooke smiled and said, "The boss is really good at business. But since this is our first time here, we want to buy a Mutated Skeleton Summoning Talisman to see if it works."

"Sure. 2 Yuanbao each, here you go."

Brooke paid in gold ingots and received a piece of talisman paper similar to the amulets used by Taoist priests, only larger and made of superior material. The talisman paper was intricately patterned with gold thread, faintly radiating magical fluctuations.

"how to use?"

“Just crush it.”

Brook squeezed the talisman paper hard, and it shattered. Suddenly, a white mutant skeleton emerged from it, holding an axe and faintly glowing green.

"How about it? Not bad, right? It can last for 2 hours and can summon at most one person. Also, it can only help fight monsters, not people." The summoning talisman merchant reminded.

Brooke began to understand. This summoning talisman was actually a magically constructed space, housing a previously captured mutant skeleton. As for the two hours, it wasn't a light of temptation, but rather a contract similar to the one a Taoist priest makes when summoning a baby. This mutant skeleton was only willing to fight for its temporary master for a maximum of two hours. The requirement to fight monsters, not humans, was likely part of the agreement, meant to protect the human monks.

"Very good!" Brook nodded. "But boss, you know, sometimes we don't want others to notice our whereabouts. It's not good to have this summoned mutant skeleton following us all the time. So, can you sell me a few blank summoning talismans without any monsters stored in them so that I can keep them?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. To let the monster in, it must be willing to go in. This is my specialty, you can't do it."

"It doesn't matter if I fail. I want to give it a try." Brooke said.

"Okay. Since you want to try it, I'll sell it to you. However, the price is also 2 Yuanbao. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"want!"

"Okay. Take the blank summoning talisman and wipe the front. That's it! The space is now open. The space inside isn't huge, just enough for one demon beast. You see, no matter how much you command, the mutant skeleton won't go in," the summoning talisman merchant said as he instructed. "The time is up, and the entrance to the summoning talisman space is closed. It's a one-time use, so if you want to open it again, you'll have to crush it. The demon beast won't go in, so this blank summoning talisman is wasted."

The method for opening the spatial entrance on the talisman is simple. The difficult part is how to draw the talisman and how to let the monster enter. However, these two things are the secrets of the summoning talisman merchants.

It’s strange to say, not only did the mutant skeletons refuse to enter, but even if the holy beasts were commanded, they were unwilling to enter.

"Thank you, boss!" Brook was already very satisfied. Being able to obtain the summoning talisman and open up the space was enough for him.

"Boss, give me a few more blank symbols. I want to try again when I have time."

"You want more? Haha, sure! How many do you want?"

Brooke looked at the 16 gold coins left in his backpack and said, "8!"
