Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Wenren Muxue was also surprised. She hadn't expected Brooke to reach level 100 despite missing a day because of the Flame Ring. Then, seeing Wenren Muyue's happy expression, she guessed that she was the one who was helping.

"You two are amazing! Okay, I'll add Brook's name to the list and submit it. As for the 3rd rank pills, you can go directly to the warehouse to collect them."

"Thank you, second sister!"

The two were about to leave when they were stopped by Wenren Muxue.

"Don't leave so quickly, there are two things I need to tell you."

"Brook, you handed in the Flame Ring. According to the rules of the Wenren Family, you will receive a reward of 15 ingots. I will notify the warehouse supervisor to record your reward."

15 gold coins! That's a lot! This is a huge sum of money! Even Brook was shocked.

"Second sister, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wenren Muyue complained, "You have no idea how hard we've been working this week. If I had known there were 15 ingots, I could have gotten a few more good nights of sleep."

"The value of the artifact is difficult to judge, and there is no precedent in the family, so it will take some time to study and discuss. This is the final result. We will follow this standard in the future. I hope you will be satisfied." Wenren Muxue made up a reason to explain.

"Satisfied, we are very satisfied!" said Brooke.

"Also, after the list is submitted, we'll be gathering and setting off for Marfa in one day at the earliest, or two days at the latest. You'd better prepare in advance."

"The people sent by the major families are not just rank 3 cultivators, but also rank 4 and 5 cultivators. In reality, the monsters on the Marfa Continent are not very powerful, and rank 3 cultivators are more than enough. The reason they sent higher-level cultivators is because they are worried that if several people find the artifact at the same time, the higher-level cultivators will have an advantage in snatching it."

"Although the chances of this happening are very small, it's not unheard of. The divine skill necklace obtained during this underground palace trial was found by several cultivators from the three major families. They were evenly matched, and ultimately agreed to give the skill necklace as the prize for the underground palace trial."

"There won't be a rank 6 monk, right?" Brook asked.

"No. Cultivators above the sixth level are too powerful for the divine weapon fragments to bear, so they can only reach the fifth level at most. Furthermore, to prevent vicious competition among the major families, the empire has specifically stipulated the number of cultivators each family can reach at the third, fourth, and fifth levels."

"How many people did our Wenren family send?"

"There are three spots in our family. You, me, and Qin Ziyu."

"Sister Zi Yu? I thought it would be my eldest brother." Wenren Muyue said, and then explained in Brooke's ear that Qin Zi Yu was a 5th-turn mage, her eldest brother's childhood sweetheart, and someone the family absolutely trusted.

"Brother just reached level 6 a few days ago. That's why I asked Zi Yu to come back to help. After completing this mission, I will also reach level 5." Wenren Muxue said.

After receiving the supplies sent by the Tuoba family, many members of the clan received their rewards. With sufficient equipment and supplies, they could confidently and boldly attack the bloodline nodes and reincarnate as soon as possible.

Brook understood. One person each for the third, fourth, and fifth turns, all of whom were direct descendants of the family. After all, the search for Marfa wasn't just for ordinary equipment, but for divine artifacts, so this arrangement was completely understandable.

Although there are many places on the Marfa continent, it is also very likely that he will encounter high-level monks. He still has some things to do and really needs to prepare in advance.

Brook and the others arrived at the warehouse. Sure enough, they learned that his account had been inflated with a special bonus of 15 ingots. Even the warehouse manager who was checking for him was stunned. It was rare to see such a large amount in a personal account. However, since Brook had previously advanced 1 ingots, he currently had 14 in his account.

Brooke thought about it for a moment and asked the warehouse manager to help him get 10 3rd level pills, and then took out 4 in treasures. He gave all 4 in treasures to Wenren Muyue, and explained that he should first pay back the 1 in treasures she had advanced, and use the remaining 3 to buy some supplies.

This time they needed a lot of things, many of which were rare gems and crystals. Even the family warehouse might not be enough, so they planned to go directly to the auction house to buy them.

As for the remaining 10 ingots, Brook didn't plan to use them for the time being. He planned to leave them all to Bayin so that he could quickly improve his strength when he arrived in Marfa.

So, the two of them split up. Wenren Muyue went shopping, while Brook returned to his room to attack the bloodline nodes.

In the second transformation, each impact on the bloodline node will consume 140 bloodline essences, and finally you will need to absorb 3 reincarnation stones.

When it comes to the third level, 450 blood essences are consumed each time. The effect of the third level pill is equivalent to 3 blood essences.

Brook remained calm and focused, continuously attacking the bloodline nodes, successfully attacking all ten nodes at once. As expected, the higher the level, the higher the success rate of attacking bloodline nodes. Finally, he absorbed the energy of five more reincarnation stones and finally succeeded in the third transformation.

After the third transformation, he gained a 20% increase in health and put on the prepared full set of Taurus equipment.

In the past few days, Brook's jade pendant and formation have been upgraded to level 4. In addition, when Brook was equipping the furnace, he obtained a large amount of Blood Demon Essence and King Kong Essence. The levels of Blood Demon and King Kong have also been greatly improved again, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Currently, Brook's level is 100, his Taoism is 231-663, his Defense is 353-832, his Magic Defense is 289-676, and his HP is.

His Taoist skills are not very high because the level of jade pendants and formations have not yet been raised; but his defense and magic defense are very strong, thanks to the smelting of a large number of equipment, so the levels of Blood Demon and Vajra are much higher than those of people of the same level.

At this time, Wenren Muyue also came back. The two distributed supplies in Brook's room.

There are five kinds of rare gems: Blessing, Maya, Soul, Hero, and Supreme, 3 of each kind of gems; there are five kinds of crystals: Fire, Thunder, Ice, Gas, and Poison, 7 of each kind of crystals; in addition, there are more than 100 skill books.

Gems are used to redeem the skill "Body Shield", which requires 1 of each of the five gems, plus 500 book pages.

Crystals are used to exchange for the level 75 Taoist skill "Bloodthirst" and the level 75 mage skill "Heavenly Fire Extinguishing". Each skill requires 3 of each of the five types of crystals.

As for the remaining five gems and five crystals, Brook had specifically asked Wenren Muyue to buy more. Now that he had money, if he could return to the light of Area 5, he planned to give these supplies to the mysterious old man. Brook had promised him that.

100 skill books, 50 each, equals 5000 pages. These pages are used to upgrade skill levels. Going from level 4 to 5 requires 2400 pages, so for now, the two can only upgrade two key skills.

"After using up all 3 Yuanbao, there are still 600 Yuanbao left. We'll split it in half," Wenren Muyue said. The two of them were very poor now. After paying off the Yuanbao they had advanced, they only had this little pocket money left.

"Let's go improve our skills."

The two found a skill master and exchanged the skills they needed.

Brook learned "Bloodlust" and "Body Shield".

Bloodthirst is a Taoist ranged attack spell. It directs the amulet towards the enemy's body, dealing damage. While doing so, it also drains a small amount of the enemy's health, replenishing its own health. Bloodthirst is more powerful than the Soul Fire Talisman of the same rank, and only slightly less powerful than Thunderbolt. And, like Thunderbolt, it ignores obstacles and terrain.

The "Body Shield" can harness the magic power within the body to form an invisible shield to protect the body. This is a passive skill, not requiring active activation. According to Wenren Muxue, this skill is extremely powerful. The specific effects still need to be verified in actual combat.

Brooke also raised Summon Divine Beast to level 5. He wanted to use the remaining pages to raise Bloodlust to level 4, but the skill master told him he didn't have enough materials. Bloodlust was a special skill, requiring more materials than normal skills. While a normal skill only required 4 pages to reach level 900, Bloodlust required 1500 pages and three Ice Crystals.

Similarly, Wenren Muyue learned the level 5 "Magic Shield", and if she wants to upgrade the "Sky Fire Extinguishing" skill, she needs 3 Fire Crystals.

The two of them had no choice but to go to the auction house again. The price of crystals had increased recently. They used to buy 120, but now it was 150 each. They had just enough gold to buy two each. The remaining ice crystal and fire crystal had to be borrowed from the supplies Brook was preparing to bring back to Marfa.

After finally upgrading their skills, they were left penniless. But things would get better tomorrow, because tomorrow was payday.
