Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The escort vehicle slowly entered the outpost camp.

One of the watchtowers that was previously breached has been rebuilt, and the other is about to be rebuilt.

The supplies were successfully delivered to the camp guards, and the transportation mission was completed. Ximen Kongmie and his companions returned to the quarry in the middle camp with the escort cart.

Brook immediately returned to the main city. Now that he had collected 10 fifth-level pills, he was ready to start the fifth level.

These fifth-level pills cannot be used immediately. Currently at level 133, they must be upgraded to level 140 before they can be fifth-leveled. Otherwise, there is a chance that they will fail when opening the bloodline nodes.

From level 130 to level 140, each level requires 1 million experience points. Leveling up is no longer as easy as it used to be.

The fastest way to level up is to get Furnace gear. This requires a sufficient supply of ingots. Fortunately, Brook has numerous artifacts and exceptional luck. The drop rate from bosses and monsters in the Warcraft Arena is inherently higher than in the outside world. Even humanoid monsters, in addition to Nirvana gear, can drop items like Fire Dragon and Taurus. So, Brook has earned quite a bit of money from monster hunting these days, and with the ingots he brought in, he's already saved a full 5.

Now, it’s time to spend money, and I don’t know if it’s enough.

Brooke went to the nearby auction house and bought a large number of equipment, including Fire Dragon, Tongyun, and Taurus. As long as it wasn't too expensive, he bought everything! Then he went to the Heaven and Earth Furnace and began to smelt equipment. He sold all the crystals and enlightenment marks he obtained from smelting, and continued to buy equipment and smelt.

I finally saved up enough spirit beads and spent all my money.

Brooke arrived in the city and rented a room in the inn with his last eight gold ingots. He sat down cross-legged, using up all of his 8+ spirit beads. A golden light flashed around him, and he instantly reached level 800!

Keeping his composure and concentration, Brooke took out his fifth-level pills and slowly used them one by one, breaking through each bloodline node. After an hour, all ten nodes were finally opened.

Finally, he took out the Reincarnation Stones. To upgrade from 4th to 5th level, he needed a total of 10 Reincarnation Stones. Brook had already prepared them. He absorbed them one by one, and his energy reached its peak!

Now is the time! Break through and charge!

Brook's breath expanded, then contracted rapidly; then expanded again, then contracted and solidified again. He repeated this 10 times before his breath finally settled down and stabilized.

Brook opened his eyes and felt full of strength.

Finally reached the 5th level and entered the ranks of high-level monks!

It's time to upgrade your equipment.

Brook had already equipped himself with the two legendary Dao rings, legendary shoes, a legendary Dao belt, and a legendary Dao helmet he'd found recently. He still needed clothes, a weapon, two bracelets, and a necklace. He had a large collection of creative gems, which he planned to craft directly with the corresponding Domination equipment.

Arriving in the safe zone, he found the forging master there. To upgrade a Overlord to Legendary, jewelry requires 300 creative gems, while weapons and clothing require 600. Brook spent over 2000 creative gems to upgrade his clothing, weapons, necklace, and other items to Legendary.

Then take out the Nirvana equipment from the backpack and fuse them one by one onto the legendary equipment.

Brook's current attributes: Level 140, 5th transformation, Taoism 1150-2643, Defense 872-1820, Magic Defense 736-1640, Health.

Nirvana equipment is indeed powerful. After fusion, it adds a lot of attributes, especially Taoism and health points, which are almost doubled.

But now he was broke, so he had to go kill monsters and earn money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford the daily bloodline essence. Brook teleported to the river and began his hunt for the day. Chiefs, humanoid monsters, and magical beasts, anything that could drop equipment and could be defeated, he would take them all!

※※※※※※※

The next morning, it was just dawn.

The beeping of the compass woke Brooke from his restful meditation in the tent. He opened it and saw a message from the mission officer.

"Brook, there's an urgent team exploration mission today. The rewards are 5th and 6th rank pills. Do you want to try it?"

"almost there!"

Brook started to return to the city and flew to the main city's safe zone square.

Brook found the mission officer and immediately saw the exploration mission that rewarded the Reincarnation Pill. This mission required exploring the Monster Wild Area. The number of people currently assigned to the mission was 7/11, indicating that seven people had already claimed it and that a full team of 7 was required before the mission could be carried out. Brook had seen this situation before; it was usually only important missions that required a specific team size. This also reflected the mission's danger level.

"The battle for the crypt territory between the right outpost camp and the monster beast has entered a critical moment. In order to cooperate with the Imperial Guard to completely occupy the monster beast's frontier crypt, the Imperial Guard urgently summoned a team of independent cultivators to explore the wild area on the right side of the monster beast and obtain the latest intelligence on the monster beast. You must decide quickly, there are only two spots left." The mission officer reminded.

Brook nodded and quickly looked at the specific content of the task.

Explore the area: Bring your mission-specific compass and explore the latest situation in the Monster Wild Area in the upper right corner of the map. Report back by 12: PM at the latest.

Mission rewards: 1100 Yuanbao, 1100 Merit Points, 2 fifth-turn pills, and 2 sixth-turn pills.

The rewards for this quest are indeed excellent. The current buyback price for a rank five pill is around 1 gold coins. A rank six pill is definitely more expensive, estimated to be at least 2. Also, the map in the upper right corner of Brook is still completely dark, so this is a good opportunity to light it up.

Brook immediately accepted the mission. Currently, the number of people on the mission is 8/11, with only 3 people left.

As soon as he received the mission, Brooke automatically joined a team. It turned out that the team members were standing or sitting on the lawn not far away, resting.

"Look, here comes another one. Wow, it's a fifth-level Taoist priest. The overall strength of the team has been dragged down again."

"A fifth-level Taoist priest dares to go to the monster wild area. He is really not afraid of death."

"Please persuade him, for the sake of others and yourself. Don't let anyone take over this time."

There were whispers in the team.

"Brooke! You...are at the fifth level?!" A familiar voice came, and the sixth level mage Yuan Bufan stood up.

"Brother Yuan! What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to take this task." Brook said with a smile.

"Yuan Bufan, do you know this Taoist priest? From what you said, this Taoist priest had not reached the 5th level two days ago? So, he was just promoted? I'm dizzy." said the monk next to him.

"Xiong Dalin, don't look down on others. Brook is my friend. If you dare to bully him, I won't forgive you!" Yuan Bufan said bluntly.

"Oh my~ I'm so scared! Don't think you're so powerful just because you reached level 6 a year earlier than us two brothers. Look carefully, we are also level 6 now, and we have the same hot-blooded equipment as you!" The mage Xiong Dalin shouted.

Yuan Bufan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just waved to Brook, indicating Brook to come and sit next to him.

At this time, a tall and mighty warrior walked towards Brook and said coolly:

"Hello, Brooke. I'm Cullinan, a high-ranking guest of the Duanmu family, a powerful rank 6 warrior, and the temporary captain of this team. Although your cultivation is a bit low, it's more than enough to serve as a scout sentinel. In the future, if you encounter any danger, you can stand behind me; if you encounter any problems, you can ask me for help. Finally, welcome to join us!"

"...Okay, thank you!" Although Brooke felt that this person was a little strange, he still responded obediently.

Cullinan nodded in satisfaction and turned back.

Brook came to Yuan Bufan.

"Don't listen to Cullinan's bragging. The temporary captain title is self-proclaimed. He says this to everyone who comes to him, just wanting others to support him. He really wants to be the captain." Yuan Bufan said in Brook's ear.

The captain not only has the command of the team, but also has the initiative in the final distribution of the spoils.

Anyone with even a little ambition here would want to take command, including Brook himself. However, he was only at Rank 5, so he couldn't grab the captain position.

After a while, three more people came over. Two were at the sixth level, and one was at the fifth level. They seemed to be together and were quite powerful.

Cullinan stepped forward again.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Cullinan, a high-ranking guest of the Duanmu family, a powerful rank 6 warrior, and the temporary captain of this team... Welcome aboard!"

Sure enough, it was the same rhetoric again.

Unfortunately, this time it didn't go so smoothly. These three people were very shrewd and seemed to have strong backgrounds. They didn't take the Duanmu family's high-ranking guest status seriously. One of the rank 6 warriors said:

"The three of us are from the Xuanyuan family. The mission officer just said that the captain hasn't been appointed yet. We'll have to wait until we're all assembled to determine the captain and vice-captain based on their ranks and strengths." Rank 6 warrior Qin Shan ignored Cullinan and spoke to the resting group, "The team is full. Everyone, please follow me. Meet at the mission officer's desk!"

After Qin Shan finished speaking, he walked back first without waiting for anyone to respond.

Cullinan was exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He shouted to everyone in a familiar manner: "Everyone, get up and gather quickly!"

Everyone lined up, waiting for the mission officer to speak.

"This mission is very important. Therefore, the Imperial Guard has specially prepared two mission compasses, which are interconnected. Wherever one of them is explored, the other will light up. I will give them to the captain and vice-captain, respectively. As long as you explore the entire mission map and bring back either compass, the mission will be completed. Now, I will designate the captains for this mission based on your rank and strength. Cullinan, you are the captain; Qin Shan, you are the vice-captain. Step forward."

The mission officer handed the mission compass to the two captains and said:

"Remember, you must return before 12 noon. Even if you can't explore the entire wild area, I can give you a mission reward based on your completion of the map exploration. Time is running out, so hurry up and set off."
