Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brooke walked out of the Skill Master's place with satisfaction and arrived at the Second Transformation Companion Continent, the Manor.

The sun had already set, but the area north of the Manor Square, near the Forge of Heaven and Earth, was still crowded with people.

"They're still melting?!"

"Yes, it has been melting since this morning."

"How much equipment have they melted down? This must have cost 200 to 300 thousand ingots, right?"

"More than that! The total is definitely over a million!"

"A million! No way?"

"No? Haha~ They've been melting it since 7am and have been doing it for a full 10 hours! Do you know what's going on at the auction house today? They've sold out the stock several times over! Now the lowest price for a Fire Dragon is 25 Yuanbao, the second-level Fire Cloud has gone up to 40, and the Taurus starts at 80 Yuanbao. Even the ordinary Lord and Legendary jewelry has been bought up by them!"

"Oh my god! So rich!"

"The average person spends a hundred or two hundred Yuanbao to smelt a dozen or so pieces of equipment, just to try their luck and have fun. The richer ones spend five or six hundred. The children of aristocratic families usually spend two or three thousand. Even the direct descendants of the three major families spend only ten or twenty thousand at most. Even the richer ones take their time. How can they smelt millions of Yuanbao at once like them?"

"Who says it isn't? Today is really an eye-opener!"

"You know Wenren Muyue, right? She's the most favored fourth daughter of the Wenren family, and she even wears a divine weapon on her hand!"

"Are you really wearing a divine weapon?!"

"Of course it's true! Even though she's wearing a rank 6 veil, several rank 6 and even rank 7 masters have just come to confirm that she's indeed wearing the Wenren family's divine artifact, the Flame Ring!"

"Can a rank 6 expert see through a rank 6 veil?"

"Of course, rank 6 is equivalent to rank 6. As long as your level strength is stronger than hers, her rank 6 veil will not be able to hide it."

"Oh, I see. But Wenren Muyue is truly amazing. She's only at rank 4, and yet the Wenren family has given her their most precious artifact, the Flame Ring. She's truly favored! Aren't they afraid of it being snatched away?"

"Who dares to steal it? Everyone knows that the flame ring belongs to Wenren Muyue. Will the Wenren family let me off if I steal her artifact? Besides, it's not easy to steal it. She's already more than 4th level."

"Huh? Isn't she a 4th level?"

"Brother, be smart! I've melted down so much equipment, and I can level it up 5 or 6 levels right away. I'm afraid I'll go back and level it up th or even th time right away!"

"Oh, brother, you're right! Then what about Bayin next to them? She's not the daughter of the Wenren family."

"Hehe, that Bayin is even more incredible. She's a guest official of the Wenren family, but not just any guest official, but the most distinguished one! According to reliable sources, Bayin lives and eats with Wenren Muyue, making her the equivalent of a legitimate daughter of the Wenren family."

"So amazing! Who is she? I've never heard of her before."

"What's her background? Haha, did you see her veil? Let me tell you, several rank 6 and 7 masters came over just now, but they couldn't see through her veil. A rank 7 master said she was wearing an 8th-level poisonous veil!"

"Poisonous veil! Is it more powerful than Wenren Muyue's veil?"

"That's not all. I know an even more incredible secret. But I promised others not to tell it. I can only tell you that her equipment is better than Wenren Muyue's! And I'm not just talking about the veil."

"Better equipment, not a veil... Ah! I see! You mean God..."

"Shh~ Don't say it! I see through it, but I won't say it out loud! Just keep it to yourself."

"Ohhh~ Brother is really amazing! He knows everything!"

"I'm not that powerful. It's those two who are powerful, and it's the Wenren family who are powerful..."

"High price for skill books: 25 Yuanbao each. High price for equipment: Fire Dragon 12 Yuanbao, Tongyun 25 Yuanbao, Golden Bull 60 Yuanbao. Only valid today, no more after this period!"

"Damn! He's still yelling! This guy's been yelling all day, and the price of the equipment at the auction house has almost doubled, and he doesn't even know how to raise the price!"

"It's obvious that this guy is shouting to help Wenren and Muyue acquire equipment. Hey, when will you wake up? My brother..."

Everyone was talking about it. But many people remained silent, watching Bayin and Wenren Muyue melt their equipment. Some people did nothing at all, staring at them from morning till now.

They stared at the scene, but the people sent by the Wenren family were watching them secretly.

Wenren Muxue had already researched these people's names; they all belonged to various major families. They included the Xuanyuan, Duanmu, Murong, Ximen, and Linghu clans, with the Tuoba clan being the most numerous. The remaining few were from Wolong Villa.

Whether it was to gather intelligence or to plot something bad, Brook said, let them see. The entire manor was a safe zone. Even the three major families would not dare to seal the square in public and start a robbery.

"Captain, are you there?" Yuan Bufan sent a message.

"Here I am."

"I'm going to the Ximen family to return the Moon Zodiac. Do you want to come with me?"

"OK, wait for me."

Brook and Yuan Bufan came to the Ximen family and explained their purpose. Soon Ximen Wudi came out to greet them.

Ximen Wudi was very polite and insisted on pulling the two of them in to sit down. Brook and the other man sat in the outer hall for a while, handed over the zodiac and the bag Ximen Kongmie had entrusted to him, and then said goodbye and left.

The inner courtyard of the Ximen family.

When they opened their backpacks and looked at the bag full of high-level equipment, crystal gems, various reincarnation pills, 8 fashion fragments, and more than 20 gold coins, Ximen Kongjue and Ximen Wudi fell into deep thought.

The last time Ximen Wudi came back, he had brought back items worth 50. This time he came back with even more, worth more than a million!

Was he just wandering around there? Or was he just picking up equipment? It was impossible to get tens of thousands of gold in a single day just by playing with equipment. It could only be said that he was picking it up.

"Father, my second uncle left you a letter!" Ximen Wudi found a clue under the bundle.

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Ximen Kongjue opened it and saw Ximen Kongmie wrote:

"Brother Kong Jue: I'm doing well in the Warcraft battlefield, don't worry. I'm writing only to discuss Brook. He possesses many artifacts, is extremely powerful, and has profound wisdom. You must not set your sights on him. From my observation, he's similar to the legendary nobleman favored by heaven and earth, blessed with great fortune. My Ximen family acts without regard for trivial matters to achieve our goals; we only consider success or failure, not right or wrong. But with Brook, you can only be a friend, not an enemy; those who approach him will prosper, those who oppose him will perish. Remember this! Also, the Wenren family is bound to rise in power, so it's advisable to befriend them, perhaps even arrange for a marriage between our nephew Wudi and Wenren Muxue."

Multiple divine artifacts! The favor of heaven and earth, the convergence of luck? A noble person! My second brother actually has such a high opinion of Brooke.

Could it be that all these equipment were obtained because of Brook? !

Ximen Kongjue slowly closed the letter.

"Father, what did my second uncle say in the letter?"

"Oh, Second Uncle said that you are not young anymore and it's time for you to get married and start a family. What do you think of Wenren Muxue?"

"..."

※※※※※※※

"Captain. Do you have any missions to do today?"

"I don't. It looks like you do?"

"I want to go to the Zodiac Temple. I decided to stay there and spend some time to get a set of zodiacs. I found a lot of incomplete and scattered zodiacs in the Wenren family's warehouse. I asked the warehouse manager, and he said these zodiacs are not for sale. I can apply directly to the clan leader or exchange them for zodiacs of other attributes. Before I go to the Warcraft battlefield next time, I have to find a way to get a set of zodiacs, more than one month old." Yuan Bufan said.

"What ambition! To be honest, I haven't been to the Zodiac Temple yet. I'll go and see it later." Brook praised.

"Then I'm going to the 5th Continent first. Captain, call me if you need anything."

"Okay. Go ahead!"

Yuan Bufan said goodbye and left.

Yuan Bufan has always been following Brook in the Warcraft battlefield, but don't think he's just a follower. You have to know that Yuan Bufan is a well-known Rank 6 cultivator. As a solitary cultivator, he relies on himself for everything. Without a certain level of ability, it would be impossible to reach Rank 6 on his own. He has his own set of rules.

Yuan Bufan's purpose for returning to the Shenlong Empire was clear. First, he was looking for the 7th Job Ultimate Skill Book, which he would have to wait until early next month to try his luck at the auction at Wolong Villa. Second, he was looking for the Zodiac Set. The freezing effect of the Zodiac Set was extremely useful, especially against monsters with high HP that required long-term slowing and control. Of course, joining the Wenren Family was also crucial, as it would allow him to grow closer to Brook. Now, he had to follow the plan and execute each item one by one.

※※※※※※※

At 6 pm, Brooke received a message from Bayin. She had finally filled up a Spirit Gathering Pearl, which was equivalent to 162 billion experience points, allowing her to level up directly from level 105 to 160. However, her gold ingots were almost used up, with less than 2000 left.

Wenren Muyue had also used up her 50 ingots, and had saved more than 8000 spirit beads, equivalent to more than 80 billion experience points, which could allow her to directly upgrade from level 133 to level 154.

"You guys go back first and wait for me in the family square for 1 minute."

After replying to the message, Brook came to the Dragon Empire Square and walked towards the novice monk who was shouting and advertising.

"Buy at a high price..." the novice brother was still shouting with all his might.

"That's enough, stop shouting!" Brook's voice suddenly came from behind, and the novice brother quickly turned around.

"Senior...we are not lazy! We have been shouting and have not left the city to fight monsters." The novice brother said in panic.

"is it?"

"Yes! Many people came over today to ask who told us to shout. I refused to tell anyone! I absolutely did not betray my senior!"

"Okay, well done. That's all for today. I'm very satisfied with your performance. This is an extra reward for you, keep it. I'll ask for your help next time I have the chance. Goodbye!"

Brook vanished with a whoosh, leaving only the newbie brother, who looked down at the 1000 yuan that Brook had given him, motionless like a statue.

After a while, the novice brother suddenly came to life, took out the compass and shouted:

"Second brother! Little brother! Come back soon! We've made a fortune! We can reincarnate together!"

※※※※※※※

Brook returned to the Wenren Family Square, where Bayin and Wenren Muyue were waiting for him arm in arm.

"Tired?" Brooke asked.

"Well, it's quite tiring. It feels even harder than fighting monsters. The key is that there are so many people watching. It's really not suitable for me at the beginning." Bayin said with a smile.

After smelting equipment for a whole day, Bayin and the other man were indeed very tired.

"Go back and rest first. After you've rested, you can upgrade and reincarnate."

"it is good!"

"Brook, I've spent all the gold ingots you gave me! I've also spent the 1 gold ingots I saved. I calculated that I can only level up to 154. I'm still 6 levels away from the 6th turn." Wenren Muyue said.

"It's okay. I still have 14 ingots here. You can take them first. When the prices come down in a couple of days, we can continue smelting them." Brook said.

If you want to level up 6, you have to reach level 160 to be safe. Although 154 is only 160 levels away from 6, each level requires 8 million experience points. A total of 48 billion experience points, I'm afraid I'll have to spend another to thousand ingots.

"Wow! How do you still have so much money?"

"No. That's all I have left. I'll give it all to you."

"But it's still not enough, there's still a shortfall of more than 10 yuan."

"Take your time. If you're in a hurry, you can only ask your second sister for help."

"Well, no rush! Hey, you see, once I upgrade and reincarnate, my third brother will be surpassed by me, and my second sister will be caught up by me. Will they be envious, jealous and hateful?" Wenren Muyue asked with a smile.

"It's possible! Forget it, you'd better not ask your second sister for help. Just kill monsters and save money slowly." Brook nodded.

"No! Your second sister loves you so much. Even the monks watching are saying that you are the most favored daughter of the Wenren family." Bayin said.

"Ha ha...."

The three of them talked and laughed as they crossed the square, walked up the corridor, and headed towards the backyard.
