Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook woke up from meditation, clenched his fists, and felt full of strength.

Finally made it to 6th turn!

Over the course of ten days, Brook, Yuan Bufan, and Ximen Kongmie slew countless monsters and obtained a wealth of supplies. Brook had now reached level 10, successfully completing his sixth level. He even had some extra gold ingots, allowing him to upgrade Xiaobai to level 160, completing his fifth level.

The reincarnation levels of demon beasts differ from those of cultivators. For example, cultivators can reach the fifth reincarnation level at a minimum of 130, while demon beasts must reach 5. In this Warcraft battlefield, perhaps due to the dense demonic energy, Xiaobai has an easier time leveling up. With similar spirit gathering beads, Brook only reached level 200, while Xiaobai reached level 5.

Brook donned a full set of Hot-Blooded gear. Besides the increased stats compared to Legendary gear, each piece of Hot-Blooded gear also gained an additional stat: a 1% increase in Power/Magic/Taoism. Weapons and clothing received a 3% increase. With a full set of Hot-Blooded gear, the total Power/Magic/Taoism stats increased by 14%.

Now, Brook's health has reached, Taoism 1762-4306, Defense 1083-2292, Magic Defense 930-1969.

Xiaobai also changed into legendary equipment, and these legendary equipment were fused through Nirvana. Xiaobai's health reached 5, his attack power was 1500, and his defense and magic defense were around 500.

Finally, Brook took out the rare 6th job skill book from his backpack and learned it directly.

Summon the Moon Spirit!

As the incantation was chanted, the talisman spontaneously ignited, transforming into a wisp of green smoke that rose into the sky. The moonlight seemed to be drawn to it, condensing into a silver beam. Within this beam, a petite, graceful figure gradually took shape. It was an elf, roughly the size of a palm, radiating a soft silver light. Its face was round and lovely, its eyes large and bright, gleaming with innocence and spirituality. Its limbs were slender, and a pair of wings sprouted from its back, casting tiny drops of silver light as they gently flapped.

Baby Moon Spirit flew lightly around Brook and then landed on Brook's shoulder.

"Hello!" Brooke greeted it. Moon Spirit Baby simply tilted its head and looked at Brooke, smiling. It understood what Brooke meant, but it seemed unable to speak.

The Moon Spirit baby is very beautiful. I wonder how strong it is? Brook flew out into the wild and found a magic frog.

attack!

Brook's mind moved, and the Moon Spirit Baby immediately launched a series of white light balls at the Magic Swamp Frog.

1250, 2500 (frozen), 2500, 1250 (frozen)...

Moon Baby is a ranged attack with a high rate of fire, even faster than Brook's Bloodlust. It also appears to have inherited Brook's Zodiac Freeze ability, triggering a freeze every two attacks. While its current damage is low at 1250, it can deal double critical damage. If Brook uses Poison, the damage can reach 1500. Its base attack power is similar to that of a level 6 Qiankun Shenglong Beast, with a 50% higher critical chance.

The Moon Baby had a meager 700 HP. But like the Holy Beast, it possessed absolute defense. The Gromp could only knock off 30 HP at a time. Furthermore, the Moon Baby was actually retreating while attacking, kiting and moving without Brook's orders. It was a shame the Gromp was a ranged monster; if it had been a different melee monster, it might have been able to kill it without taking damage.

Brook was very satisfied with the performance of the Moon Spirit baby. So he ordered Qiankun Shenglong Beast and Xiaobai to attack together. With his own bloodthirst, he quickly killed the Magic Frog. Then he turned to another wild monster...

Early in the morning, Brook returned to the safe zone square and walked towards the huge vortex transmission channel more than 200 yards away.

Yesterday, Ximen Kongmie finally received news from the empire. It was good news.

At Xuanyuan Daren's request, the Ximen family's guilt was significantly reduced once again. In recognition of Ximen Kongmie's outstanding performance, his service was reduced from 50 to 25 years. Furthermore, given the deaths of Ximen Wuqing and Ximen Wuxie, leaving the Ximen family's younger generation of direct descendants dwindling, the empire granted Ximen Wudi a pardon and released him today. It seems the Shenlong Empire doesn't want the Ximen family to be truly exterminated.

Today is a good day. Ximen Kongmie made an appointment with Brook and Yuan Bufan to see Ximen Wudi off together.

"After you go back, tell your father that I'm doing well here. It's said to be 25 years, but I'll probably be out in one or two years." Ximen Kongmie said.

"Okay, second uncle."

"You have used up all your resurrections. Once you get out, turn 6 as soon as possible to get another chance to save your life. Don't be reluctant to use the 6th turn pill. I'm here and you can get it every day."

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

"Also, I'll give you your set of lunar zodiac signs later. Yuan Bufan from my team needs it."

"It's okay, Brother Yuan, feel free to use it."

The arrogant Ximen Wudi in the past has now become a completely different person, humble and polite.

At this time, Captain Tao Yu came over and said, "The identity has been verified. Ximen Kongmie, you can go out. Let him pass!"

The guards guarding the vortex passage made way for it.

"Go back! Wuqing and Wuxie are gone, and the family will depend on you from now on. Wuque and Wuhui are still young, so you need to teach them more."

"I understand! Second Uncle!"

Following Ximen Kongmie's instructions, Ximen Wudi stepped into the vortex passage with a backpack full of reincarnation pills, gems, crystals, and high-level equipment given to him by Ximen Kongmie.

The three of them walked towards the square.

"Senior, excuse me for asking. Are Ximen Wuque and Ximen Wuhui your descendants?" Brooke asked.

"No. They are all the children of my eldest brother, Ximen Kongjue."

"how about you?"

"I made a vow in my early years that I would not get married before I reached the seventh level! Although I have reached the seventh level now, I am already forty-five years old. I am old and used to being alone, so I have no plans to get married." Ximen Kongmie said.

"What! Senior is already 45 years old?! I don't believe it! Looking at your appearance, you are tall, mighty, and heroic. Anyone who sees you will only think that you are a -year-old young man." Brook praised.

"That's right! Boss Ximen is in his prime. Not only is he powerful, but he also has a distinguished family background. It's the golden period for him to start a family and build a career. Many female cultivators dream of marrying into a wealthy family like you. I know quite a few single female cultivators, and there are two of them in the Warcraft battlefield right now. Why don't I call them over so that I can catch your eye first?" Yuan Bufan echoed.

"You two, stop flattering me! Have you ever seen a 28-year-old with gray hair on his temples? And you, Yuan Bufan, honestly, if I had half your luck, just give me a few 7th rank pills, I would definitely reach 40th rank before I turn 7. Anyway, how long will it take you to reach 7th rank?"

"Hey, almost there! I've already got enough for the 7th level pill. I'm level 172 now, all I need is experience points. As long as I follow the captain and you two, with the monster drop rate, I'll definitely reach the 7th level within a year!"

Although he could attempt the 170th Transformation at level 7, there was a chance of failure. The 7th Transformation Pill was so precious that it couldn't be lost, so Yuan Bufan planned to wait until level 180 before attempting the 7th Transformation.

The later you progress, the more experience points you'll need to level up. From level 160 to 170, each level requires 12 billion experience points; from level 170 to 180, each level requires 16 billion experience points. If you kill monsters and complete experience quests regularly every day, you'll only get 2000 million experience points. It will take nearly three months to accumulate the 3 billion experience points needed to reach that level.

If you want to level up quickly, you must smelt equipment. This requires a large amount of gold ingots. Previously, Brook, on a lucky break, smelted 1.26 million experience points with just 2.6 gold ingots. At this rate, to advance directly from level 160 to 180, you'd need at least 138 million gold ingots. Furthermore, not everyone has Brook's incredible luck. Under normal circumstances, even 300 million gold ingots might not be enough.

How long would it take for an ordinary casual cultivator to earn 300 million ingots? Perhaps 10 years; perhaps, a lifetime.

Reaching level 180 wasn't easy. It had to be a gradual process. Even if Yuan Bufan followed the right Brook, he estimated it would take at least a year.

"Have you got "Mad Thunder and Purple Lightning"? " Ximen Kongmie asked again.

"...No. I'll have to wait until the 7th revolution to figure it out."

"You can't get the ultimate skill book just because you want it. It depends on chance. After hundreds of years of accumulation, my Ximen family has only two ultimate skill books left. Don't ask, I will never give it to you even if you ask, because it was left to the direct descendants of my Ximen family by our ancestors. Back then, I bought my warrior ultimate skill book "One Kill in Ten Steps" from a casual cultivator with 2 ingots at the ore auction at Wolong Villa. A 21th-turn cultivator without the ultimate skill is not considered a true 7th-turn cultivator. You still have a long way to go!" Ximen Kongmie said earnestly.

Yuan Bufan, who had been in high spirits, was instantly doused in a bucket of cold water. Ximen Kongmie was absolutely right. Where could he possibly get "Mad Thunder Purple Lightning"?
