Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Drinking strong sun water may not be enough to withstand it, but if you have a more advanced instant recovery potion, such as deer antler, which can instantly restore 100 health and 100 magic points, you can withstand it.

Of course there is no deer antler, but there are two other similar potions in the continent of Marfa.

Situ Haoyun once mentioned in his notes that the monsters in Bai Rimen would drop a kind of instant recovery potion called healing medicine, which could restore 100 health and 160 magic points, and was more effective than deer antlers.

The other is the Eternal Snow Frost from Cangyue Island, which instantly restores 100 health and 100 mana, and has the same effect as deer antlers.

Brooke naturally chose to go to Bairimen first. He was running low on poison, and Zhengnan had said that he could buy poison there. He could also find out about his master there.

However, the passage to Bairimen is now blocked, so it is better to ask the veteran Biqi to help teleport there.

Brook and Bayin arrived at the Temple of Death. Veteran Beech and five others were sitting in the formation, meditating with their eyes closed.

"Why are you here?" Sensing someone coming in, the veterans opened their eyes. Now it was just the spatial magic of maintaining the formation, and with five people working together, it was relatively easy. It didn't prevent them from chatting.

"We want to go to Bairimen. I wonder if Senior Soldier Bitch can help us with the transportation." Brook said respectfully.

"Of course." Veteran Beech smiled. This was just a small matter for him.

"Senior, now that we've gone to Bairimen, how can we go back to Fengmo Valley?" Bayin asked.

"The old man guarding the White Sun Gate and the passage to the Woma Forest is my friend. I will greet him. You can come back without worry."

"Thank you, senior!" Brooke and Bayin thanked the veteran.

"Haha, don't be polite. Are you ready? I will teleport you to the Daylight Gate right now." With a wave of his hand, veteran Beech disappeared.

With a whoosh, Brook and Bayin appeared in an open space, which was Bairimen Square. They looked around carefully.

Unlike Biqi and Fengmocheng, Bairimen is not strictly a city, but rather a vast courtyard. Bairimen is divided into two courtyards: the front courtyard, which is larger and has three guarded exits. The back courtyard, which is smaller, also has guards at the connecting entrance. Numerous houses, constructed of green bricks and green tiles, are built around the courtyard, creating a truly elegant atmosphere.

The square they were standing in was paved with neatly arranged stone bricks. At one end of the square stood a small, three-story gray stone tower; at the other end, a similarly luxurious, four-story golden stone tower stood.

To the north of the square, several martial arts students were practicing horse stance, led by a man called the Wushu Instructor. To the south, several Taoist students were also practicing, led by a man called the Taoist Instructor. These students all looked relatively young, seemingly new to the profession.

Brook decided to first inquire about his master's whereabouts. He walked up to the Taoist instructor and saluted, "Respected Taoist instructor, do you know Situ Haoyun?"

"He knows him. What do you want from him?" The Taoist instructor looked at the two of them curiously.

"I want to ask him something. I wonder where he is now?" Brook asked.

"I don't know about that. You can go to the backyard, Lord Tianzun will definitely know." The Taoist instructor replied.

"Thank you."

Brook told Xiaobai to rest and wait in the square. There were guards at the gate leading to the backyard; Xiaobai would be attacked if he followed them. These guards were different from Bicchi's; they were called "Knife Guards." They didn't wield broadswords, but rather scabbarded katanas. There were four, not two. Presumably, the Bairi Gate's monsters were more powerful, so they needed more guards.

The two came to the backyard and saw from afar a man wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, holding a folding fan, sitting leisurely on the ground. It was Tianzun.

Brooke and Bayin hurried forward to greet him: "Brother Bayin of Mafa, Brooke, we pay our respects to the Lord Tianzun!"

"You're welcome, just sit anywhere." Tianzun has a very easy-going personality.

Brook and the other two did not dare to approach the Tianzun as an equal, but stood respectfully to the side. This Tianzun looked like an ordinary person, but the two knew that his strength must be extremely powerful, but they could not tell the depth.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you about the whereabouts of Situ Haoyun. He is my master." Brooke asked.

"Haoyun mentioned it to me. He said he had accepted a disciple, and it turned out to be you." Tianzun looked at Brook and smiled. "Your master went to the Red Moon Canyon. Do you have something urgent to ask him?"

"There's nothing urgent. They're all small matters... It's just that I haven't seen my master for a long time and I miss him very much." Brook originally wanted to find Situ Haoyun to ask some questions in the notes, such as the level cap, detailed attributes of monsters, warriors from other worlds, etc., but these are not urgent.

"Something has happened to the Red Moon Demon. Your master has gone to clear out the Red Moon's nest and may not be back for several days. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me." Tianzun said.

Brooke did have a question, so he asked, "Master Tianzun, can the Taoist skill of summoning divine beasts and summoning skeletons coexist? I already have a baby skeleton. Can I summon a baby divine beast and have both of them fight for me at the same time?"

Brooke remembered that when he saw Situ Haoyun before, he only had a divine beast behind him, no skeleton. That's why he asked this question.

"You can only bring one of the Skeleton and the Divine Beast. If you already have a Skeleton, when you use the Summon Divine Beast, the Skeleton will die."

"Skeleton will die? Can't two babies coexist? The wizard can recruit 5 babies." Brook asked puzzledly.

"Due to the rules of Marfa, a Taoist priest can only have one baby." Tianzun said slowly:

"The principles behind the babies summoned by Taoist priests and mages are different. Taoist priests use amulets and spells to sign a contract with the monsters, ensuring that the baby won't rebel, while also limiting themselves to only one baby."

"The mage has mastered five types of spells: fire, thunder, air, ice, and space. The Light of Temptation is a combination of thunder and air. It uses weak lightning to temporarily paralyze the monsters, then uses the power of air to resonate with the monsters. Essentially, it confuses the monsters' minds and makes them fight for the mage. Each type of spell controls one monster, so the maximum number is five. However, there is no contract between the two parties, so the monsters will betray once they wake up."

So that's how it is. Brook and Bayin suddenly realized. But if that were the case, wouldn't Brook be unable to summon the beast?

"Your Excellency, how can we terminate the contract between the Taoist priest and the level 7 baby?" Brook asked.

"Huh? Why do you ask this?" Tianzun asked curiously.

"I want to learn how to summon divine beasts, but I can't bear to see the skeleton baby die."

"The Taoist's mutated skeleton baby is just an ordinary monster. You can't bear to see it die?" Tianzun asked.

Brook nodded silently: "The Skeleton Baby has fought hard for me for many days, I really can't bear it."

Tianzun chuckled. He thought for a moment and said, "There is a way. But it comes at a price. Do you know the Prayer Set? If someone wears it, strange phenomena will occur on the Marfa continent, breaking the rules of the contract with the babies, and the babies will rebel. However, not all of them will rebel. Those babies that have leveled up will still be attached to their masters. Not only will they not rebel, but to protect their masters, their strength will increase for a short period of time. However, after all, the contract rules have been broken, and the bond between the baby and the master has become very fragile. If you take the initiative to sever this last link, you can terminate the contract with the Level 7 baby."

Brooke thought for a moment and asked again, "What's the price you're talking about?"

"One of the costs is that all the babies will rebel and turn against their masters, potentially causing casualties among the monks.

"The second price is that once you wear the prayer set, you need to randomly sacrifice one of the prayer equipment. This will trigger a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth, and the sacrifice is often a rare piece of prayer equipment." Tianzun explained.

Brooke nodded slightly. If that was the price, it wasn't insurmountable.

"Thank you, Lord Tianzun. I will find a way to collect the prayer set. I will inform you before I wear it," Brooke said, bowing to Tianzun. He would then inform not only Tianzun but also King Biqi, and make sure the Marfa monks were prepared. As for the alien warriors, they wouldn't be a problem; they would be resurrected and at most drop some equipment. It wouldn't be a big deal.

Tianzun didn't expect Brook to really want to collect the prayer set. Just for a skeleton baby, is it worth it?

"Since you must wear the prayer suit, it's up to you. Remember to notify all the major cities a few days in advance." Tianzun raised his head and looked at the sky. Everyone has obsessions in his heart, just like him.

"Master Tianzun, do you like sitting on the ground in the inner courtyard? Why don't you go inside to rest?" Bayin asked curiously.

"What's the difference between inside and outside the house. I like to sit outside, maybe one day I can see the stars in the sky. I haven't seen the stars for a long, long time." Tianzun said.

Brooke and Bayin looked up at the sky. It was daytime, so where did the stars come from?

"Do you know why this place is called Bai Ri Men?" Tianzun suddenly asked.

Brook and the other shook their heads.

"Originally, this place was not called Bai Ri Gate, but Ri Hong Gate, which means the rising sun and its brilliant glory. Later, the red star descended and hung in the north; Ri Hong Gate happened to be located in the northern part of the Mafa continent and was directly illuminated by the red star, so it was as bright as day even at night. That's why it was renamed Bai Ri Gate." Tianzun closed his eyes, shook his folding fan and spoke slowly, as if trying to hide the sadness in his eyes.

Brook and Bayin looked at each other and sighed slightly.

Although places like Biqi and Mengzhong were illuminated by the red star at night, it was not as bright as during the day. It was still possible to distinguish between day and night, and the stars in the sky could still be seen at night. But in this daylight gate, not even a single star could be seen.

"We've tried many methods, but we've been unable to seal this Scarlet Star. You two are cultivators from this realm, and in just two months you've already reached Level 2. Your strength is quite impressive," Tianzun encouraged. "I hope you'll work hard and reach Level 35 soon. In the future, you'll surpass us and seal the Demon Star."
