Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Mu Yue!" Bayin called softly outside Wenren Mu Yue's room.

The room was quiet, without any sound.

"Maybe he hasn't woken up yet."

"Mu Yue, get up! It's me, I'm back. I brought you something good!" Brook knocked on the door without any hesitation.

The door finally opened, and Wenren Muyue opened her big watery eyes and looked at Bayin, then at Brook.

"What good stuff?" Wenren Muyue asked softly.

"Mu Yue, long time no see! This is a gift I specially prepared for you, I hope you like it!" Brooke handed over a package with a smile.

Wenren Muyue opened it and took a look. There were 10 fifth-turn pills, 10 sixth-turn pills, a 7th-level medal, a common Primordial Devouring Heaven Demon Shield, two second-level costumes: Beidou*Huangquan and Wushuang*Judgment, and finally 1 ingots.

God!

Wenren Muyue's pretty face flushed red. She had been feeling a little inexplicably sad, but now all that sadness disappeared and she was instantly filled with surprise!

Brooke definitely put a lot of thought into this gift!

"You still have a conscience! It's worth it that I have been alone on the 8th level continent for three days to give you the news." Wenren Muyue said angrily.

"I was really happy when I received your letter! Mu Yue, thank you so much!" Brooke said.

"Mu Yue, Brook said that he would take us to upgrade today!" Bayin said.

"Level up by killing monsters?"

"No, it's the upgrade of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth! Today, we will occupy the Furnace of Heaven and Earth for the whole day! Remember to wear the artifact, your luck will be much better. It doesn't matter even if we are seen by high-level monks!" Brook said.

The three of them went to the warehouse and cleaned up their things. Then they used their teleportation rings to move directly to the auction house. Of course, this time, it was Bayin who brought Mu Yuefei with him. Bayin's teleportation ring had also been upgraded to the first level.

"Buy all equipment below level 3 that's not too expensive!"

"it is good."

Bayin and Wenren Muyue started shopping. Brook also gave Bayin a welcome gift. The items were similar, except that there were 100 million ingots, the medal was level 8, the Primordial Devouring Heaven Demon Shield was excellent, and there was also an 8th level Poison Veil.

Brook was also shopping, but he wasn't buying equipment, he was buying skill books. He wasn't smelting equipment today, he was combining skill books.

Bayin and Wenren Muyue bought a backpack full of equipment, then returned to the square and teleported to the manor. Ignoring the strange looks from the people around them, they went straight to the Heaven and Earth Furnace, continuously throwing equipment into the furnace, and activated the Crazy Furnace.

Brook went to find the skill master. After some inquiries, he finally learned the details of the advanced skills.

There are currently only 7 types of Taoist level 4 skill books.

Level 7 Poison: Increases the damage of poison, and the poisoned person cannot use recovery potions (magic bloodstone or healing stone are still effective).

Level 7 "Soul Fire Talisman": Enhances the damage of the Fire Talisman, and the Fire Talisman is upgraded to the God-Splitting Talisman, which can bounce between different enemy targets. The damage is reduced by 25% each time it bounces, and the maximum number of bounces is 5.

Level 7 "Group Healing": Enhances healing ability, and the amount of healing will be compressed to 4 seconds.

Level 7: [Summon Divine Beast]: Increases the health, attack power, and movement speed of the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast. Furthermore, its movement has an unparalleled afterimage effect.

技能达到7级，就会有质的飞跃。可惜目前只有这4种。其他的7级隐身术、7级嗜血术、7级召唤月灵等，帝国没有研究出来。

Similarly, mages and warriors only have four level 4 skills: level 7 lightning, flash movie, magic shield, ice roar, and level 7 attack swordsmanship, assassination swordsmanship, blazing swordsmanship, and half-moon scimitar.

To synthesize a level 7 skill, you need a skill book of level 6 or higher, plus three divine skill pages. However, the success rate is less than 3%. If you fail, all the synthesis materials will be destroyed.

A level 6 skill book requires 5400 pages, 1 crystal, and 1 epiphany mark. The total market price is about 2500 gold coins, which is not expensive.

However, the Divine Skill Book Pages are quite expensive. Each Divine Skill Book Page requires 3000 pages and 3000 Creation Gems to synthesize, which is worth about 1 Yuan treasures. Three Divine Skill Book Pages is 3 Yuan.

Taking into account the 20% success rate, the cost of a level 7 skill book would be at least 15.

Finally, the level 7 skill is randomly assigned within your class. This means you might want a level 7 poison spell, but end up with a level 7 summon beast. And you might already have this skill, so it's not what you were looking for.

This can be awkward, as the synthesized Level 7 skill book is bound and cannot be traded to others, leaving it for your own use. What can you do? You can use it as a crafting material, replacing the Level 6 skill book and continuing to craft Level 7 books. Or, you can save it and use it to craft the more expensive Level 8 skill book later when you have more money.

A level 8 skill book requires a level 7 or higher skill book, plus five divine skill pages. Similarly, the success rate is less than 5%. Therefore, the cost of a level 20 skill book is approximately 8 million!

Before leaving the Warcraft battlefield, Brook had already sorted through his warehouse. Aside from the three gifts, he had sold almost everything else. This included various equipment, crystals, medals, Domination Shields, some Reincarnation Pills, and even three first-tier costumes. Only then did he collect enough gold ingots. After giving the gifts to Mu Xue, Mu Yue, and Bayin, he still had one million left.

I hope to use this 100 million to create a satisfactory skill book.

Brook ran back and forth many times and bought all the more than 5 level 35 skill books sold in the market, with prices ranging from 20 to 40 yuan.

Each skill book can be split into 100 pages. I bought enough creative gems to combine 12 pages of divine skill books. With 4 sets of materials ready, I started to combine them.

Success. A Level 7 Soul Fire Talisman was created.

I was lucky enough to spend 12 yuan and successfully synthesize one.

The skill books at the auction house have been sold out. After they are sold out, the major families and monks with extra skill books in their warehouses will naturally put them on the shelves again.

The next step is to wait. But you can't just sit and wait, you have to be a little more proactive.

Brook flew to the square, looked around, and found his target.

"Brother! That rank 6 monk appears again. He seems to be walking towards us!" The three new monks were still in the square.

"Oh no! Did he notice you pointing your finger at him just now?" said the second brother.

"Calm down! This is a safe area. At most we won't leave the city!" The eldest brother was relatively calm.

Brook walked up to the three of them.

"Hello! Are you three interested in making some extra money and doing me a small favor?"

"What...what extra income...what favor?" the eldest brother bravely stepped forward and asked.

"I want to buy some skill books and equipment. But the auction house is sold out. So I'd like you to help me make a call in the square."

"Shout?"

"Yes. If you help me shout, I'll give you a reward. 100 Yuanbao. 100 Yuanbao for each of the three of you."

100 Yuanbao per person! Enough for their weekly income! The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

"How do you shout?"

"Just shout: Buying skill books at a high price of 25 yuan each. Buying equipment at a high price, Fire Dragon 12 yuan, Tongyun 25 yuan, Golden Bull 60 yuan. Only for today, no more after the deadline!"

This price is 2% higher than the market price and is relatively reasonable.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. The three of you will shout in the Dragon Empire, the first-level continent, and the second-level continent respectively. Just shout every two or three minutes until 6 pm. If you shout well, I will give you extra rewards. Of course, after the boss you are waiting for is spawned, you can go out of the city to kill monsters, and then come back to continue shouting."

"OK, alright!"

"Here are 300 Yuanbao for you. Please keep them. Goodbye!" Brook paid the money and smiled at the three of them. Then he teleported away. He was free now and planned to go to the manor to see Bayin and Muyue.

The three people in the square accepted Brook's gold ingots, still a little stunned.

"He really gave 300 yuanbao! He is so rich. And he looks so young, he looks only a few years older than me." said the younger brother.

"He's already reached level 6 at such a young age. He must be from a prominent family! He even smiled at us when he left." said the second brother.

"That's not a smile! That's a warning! If you take the money, you have to do the job. Otherwise, huh! That's what he meant." The eldest brother is more experienced.

"Ah? Is that so?" the younger brother asked in confusion.

"Big brother is right. High-level monks are always rude and won't be so easy to talk to. If we mess things up, maybe... he will kill us instantly with one skill!" After the second brother said this, the younger brother was shocked!

"So, we have to shout seriously. If he says to shout every two minutes, we should shout every minute. He said we can go out of the city to fight monsters, so we must not be fooled! Little brother, you go to the manor on the first level continent; second brother, you go to Maya City on the second level continent; I'm at the Shenlong Empire Square. Let's act quickly! Remember to shout louder!"

"Yes, big brother!" The second brother and the younger brother set off immediately.

"Skill books are purchased at high prices: 25 yuan per book. Equipment are purchased at high prices: Fire Dragon 12 yuan, Tongyun 25 yuan, Taurus 60 yuan. Only valid for today, no waiting after the deadline!" A loud shout came from the square, and the person shouting was still walking around.

Excellent! I combined two of these skills in a row. Together with the three I combined, I now have five level 2 skill books.

I got four skill books: Level 7 Poisoning, Level 7 Soul Fire Talisman, Level 7 Divine Beast Summoning, and Level 7 Mass Healing. I spent a total of 80 ingots, which went much more smoothly than expected. I even got an extra Level 7 Soul Fire Talisman.

"Master, how effective is the level 8 skill?" Brook asked again.

"Of course it's stronger! Based on the level 7 skill, it additionally increases damage and healing." The skill master explained in detail.

Level 8 "Poisoning": Enhances the damage of poisoning, and loses an additional 2.5/ of the poisoning value every seconds.

Level 8 "Soul Fire Talisman": Enhances the damage of the fire talisman. The fire talisman has an additional 2-second burning effect, and loses one tenth of the magic value per second.

Level 8 "Group Healing": Enhances healing ability. During the 4 seconds of recovery, the healing amount increases by an additional / of the magic value per second.

Level 8 "Summon Divine Beast": Enhances the health and attack power of the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast, and can perform a teleport attack every 10 seconds.

Brook thought for a moment and then asked, "Are there any level 9 skills?"

"No. Level 8 skills are the limit of what the Empire has been able to develop with all their efforts." The Skill Master shook his head, but then changed the subject and said, "It's not like there aren't any. There is only one level 9 skill! You know, the Artifact Defense Ring can increase the level of healing. If combined with the level 8 Mass Healing, it can reach level 9! Rumor has it that level 9 Mass Healing can restore a certain percentage of the target's health."

"The percentage of people being treated! How much can it be increased?"

"I'm not sure about that. If you get a divine weapon defense ring in the future, you can give it a try."

In that case... Brooke ran to the auction house again.

After a day of continuous shopping by Brook, the price of skill books has risen higher and higher, with the cheapest starting at 50 yuan treasure. Brook did not mind and directly bought 6 yuan worth of skill books and creation gems, combining 5 pages of divine skill books.

Brook gave the level 7 Soul Fire Talisman and 5 divine skill pages to the skill master.

"Master, come on! Help me combine the level 8 skill book."

"Are you sure? I won't be responsible if you fail!" the Skill Master said. These materials are worth over 20 ingots, which is not cheap.

Brooke had known him for a long time, and today he had spent a whole day at the Skill Master's place. The two of them were already very familiar with each other and spoke quite casually.

"It won't fail. Not only will it not fail, it will also be a book called "Group Healing". I believe it! It will succeed this time!" Brook said calmly and firmly.

"Haha~ Okay! 'Group Healing Technique', give it to me!"

The skill master unleashed his magic power, and the level 7 soul fire talisman and five divine skill books flew into the air, slowly spinning and merging together, bursting out with dazzling light!

After a long time, the light faded, and a new skill book appeared in the air!

"It's done!" The skill master grabbed it, took a look and laughed.

"You are so lucky! It's just as you wish!" The skill master handed the skill book to Brook.

It really is the Level 8 "Group Healing Technique"!

Brook was delighted. It was like upgrading his weapons in the weapon shop on Marfa Continent. It might succeed, or it might fail. At this point, you just had to believe. Believe firmly, and you'll succeed!

Many times, many things are very strange. If you think you can't do it, it's very likely that you really can't do it. On the other hand, if you think you can do it, that this thing will definitely succeed! Who else but me! It will really succeed!
