Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 551 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

Hearth Home.

Aoun and Chengnan stared at each other blankly.

Although Aoun knew that Chengnan was a woman, he had not expected her to be so delicate and youthful. Judging from her appearance, she could not be over 30. A mortal woman under 30 actually had such forging skills. It was truly incredible that she was gifted by nature!

Although Cheng Nan knew that Ornn was a monster and a god among monsters, he never expected that his body would be so huge and powerful, like a mountain. It was incredible that such a rough giant could forge such exquisite equipment!

Cheng Nan took a deep breath and spoke first: "Your Highness Orn, I can teach you the art of attribute transfer, but you must also teach me your forging skills! I'm not just talking about weapons, but also armor and accessories!"

Aon was stunned upon hearing this. He had never kept his forging skills secret, even to those outside the Lu family, and he taught them all he knew. However, their aptitude was limited, and none of them could grasp the essence. If anyone could truly master his skills, they would be more than happy to help!

"Haha~ As long as you can learn it, I can teach you all my forging skills!"

"I have another request. If one day I want to leave, if I want to go back to Marfa Continent, you cannot restrict my freedom!"

"Haha~ Why would I restrict your freedom? In the Hearth House, you can do whatever you want. If you are willing to be my apprentice, then even in the entire Red Star Continent, you can come and go freely, and no one dares to stop you!"

"Then it's settled! Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!" Cheng Nan was very smart. He knelt down directly, finalizing the relationship between the two parties.

"Haha~ Good~ Good~ Good disciple, that's enough, get up!" Ornn was extremely pleased with Chengnan. He could tell at a glance that Chengnan had received Soraka's starlight blessing. This showed that Chengnan not only had extraordinary talent, but also an extremely pure mind. Ornn was naturally delighted!

"Master, what's the best piece of equipment you've ever made? Can you show it to me?" Cheng Nan went straight to the point. Both of them were masters of forging, so naturally, they were most interested in equipment.

"The best?" Ornn thought for a moment, then said, "That should be the weapon in my hand. Let me show you!"

As Ornn spoke, he quickly shrank his body to about 5 yards, and then placed the equally shrunken hammer in front of Chengnan.

"I made this hammer, and it works great! I named it, Hammer!" Ornn explained.

Brooke and Xiaobai looked at each other. This seemed like nonsense. They didn't understand.

Cheng Nan carefully observed the divine hammer and nodded silently. "Master, what you mean is that this is the first hammer of the Red Star Continent. Master often uses it to forge equipment. After all these years, it is still as good as new. Not only is it not worn at all, but it has become even stronger through countless hammerings. At the same time, because it has been used to forge various top-grade equipment, it is full of a special divine power. It is truly the best hammer in the world!"

"Haha, good disciple, you really have a good eye! Indeed, this hammer is ten thousand years old! Back then, I was the first god to arrive on the Red Star Continent. At that time, monsters and beasts had not yet fully civilized, humans were still eating raw meat and drinking blood, and Freljord was not a world of ice and snow. I cut down the largest tree on Red Star and built a large wooden house. But one day, I was sleeping and seemed to sneeze twice in my sleep. Then I felt warm and comfortable. When I woke up, I found that most of the wooden house was burned down. So I drew the cold water from the north to put out the fire, but I didn't expect that this alternation of cold and heat would cause strong winds and heavy snow all year round. You know, although I have thick fur, I don't like ice and snow very much. I had no choice but to move to this cave. It is connected to the underground lava of Red Star, which is more convenient for forging equipment, and it is not too cold..."

Ornn rambled on for a while, then finally said:

"Since you like this hammer, I can give it to you!"

"Um~Master, I feel it's too heavy, I may not be able to lift it." Cheng Nan said helplessly.

"Oh, it's okay! I'll make you a smaller hammer right away!"

As Ornn was about to start working, he was stopped by Brook.

"Your Highness Ornn, wait a moment! I think the most important thing now is not the hammer, but to solve the problem that Chengnan is a mortal. Your Highness, look, it was so cold outside just now, but it is so hot here. Chengnan's face is red, and he seems to have a little fever." Brook said.

"Oh~ I actually forgot such an important thing! Disciple, come here and sit cross-legged. I will now grant you the bloodline of the Shanyin clan!"

Ornn did what he said and drew his arm, slowly condensing several drops of bright red blood in the air.

"Chengnan, open your mouth!"

As he spoke, his blood and essence were injected into the man's body drop by drop.

"That's enough. Now you have the blood of my Shanyin clan. As long as you reach the 8th turn, you can enter the ranks of demigods." Ornn said.

"So powerful?! But Chengnan is only level one now, with 1900 HP," Brook said. While having so much HP at level one was impressive, it wasn't enough on the Red Star Continent.

"This is easy! There are many spirit-gathering beads and reincarnation pills there... Brook and Xiaobai, you guys take the adult man to upgrade and reincarnate first. I'm going out for a while and will be back soon!" After saying this, Ornn left in a hurry.

"...Why do I feel like His Highness Ornn is walking a little lightly? Could it be that he just released too much blood and essence and is feeling a little unwell?" Xiaobai asked.

"That shouldn't be the case? His Highness Ornn is so strong... He must be too happy." Brook said.

"Master asked you to help me level up? Are we going to kill monsters to level up?" Cheng Nan asked.

"That's not necessary! There are better ways to level up. Chengnan, come with us!"

Brook brought Cheng Nan to the corner of the Hearth House where miscellaneous items were stored. Piles of spirit beads, reincarnation pills, crystals, gems, and equipment were piled here like small mountains.

So, Cheng Nan started taking the Spirit Gathering Pearls, which gave him 100 million experience points each. Not long after, he reached level 50, and then started taking the Reincarnation Pill. Within a few breaths, Cheng Nan had opened up 10 nodes and succeeded in his transformation.

Brooke and Xiaobai were stunned. This was too fast. Breaking through a node would take time for others, often requiring hours of meditation, but for Cheng Nan, it was as easy as water flowing into the air!

The bloodline of the Shanyin clan is so powerful!

He continued to consume the Spirit Gathering Pearl and continue to reincarnate. After several hours, Cheng Nan had reached level 200, the 7th transformation. Without wearing any attribute equipment, his health had reached a staggering 128 million!

I can't upgrade any further because I don't have enough 8th level pills.

At this time, Ornn finally came back and took out a large pile of attribute books, more than 5 in total, from his backpack!

"I just went to the Red Star Continent for a trip, and I got all the attribute books from the merchants and some familiar heroes. Chengnan, you use them first, and I will go there again after a while." Ornn said.

Thus, Cheng Nan's HP reached 360 million, his attack was 3, and his defense was 5000. Although it wasn't a lot, it was enough to protect himself.

As for the 8th rank, Cheng Nan wasn't in a rush. She came to Chixing to learn the art of forging, and she wasn't interested in upgrading and becoming a demigod. She wasn't going to fight, so attacking life and other attributes were enough.

In order to communicate, Orn shrank his body and began to make forging tools for his apprentice. Cheng Nan watched from the side.

Brooke and Xiaobai saw this and quietly went over to greet Chengnan. They were about to go to Mount Targon and promised Chengnan that they would visit her often.

As I left the Hearthheart House, night had already fallen. Across the vast snowy plains, all was silent, save for the distant sounds of a few 5th-turn Snow Region Ice Wolves silently stalking the snow.

Brook and Xiaobai were teleported to a high mountain and sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Xiaobai, protect me!"

Brooke said, then took out his magic weapon and pointed it at the sky. Suddenly, the sky grew even darker, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered, gathering more and more, circling overhead.

"Stab it~~"

The sky is filled with lightning and thunder!

After Brook's 8th transformation, the second node has been completed and he begins to overcome the second level of wind and thunder tribulation.

※※※※※※※

On the first floor of Giant God Peak, there were no more monsters under the Demon Sealing Tower, but the merchants selling equipment, potions, and books were still chatting without resting.

Xiaobai walked up.

"Good evening, bosses!" Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Isn't this the Netherworld Arbitrator Xiaobai, the hero who passed the 8th floor of the Demon Sealing Tower and joined the alliance? I'm sorry~ I'm sorry~" said the equipment merchant.

"Sir Xiaobai, we were just talking about you! We have been in Mount Giant God for decades, but we have never seen a hero as agile as you in breaking through the tower. You are really amazing!" The pharmacist followed.

"We have really broadened our horizons today! Sir Xiaobai, you are so majestic today. As a fellow undead, I am also proud of you!" said the bookseller, who was a monk in the Temple of the Undead.

"Thank you for your respect, bosses! Compared to those demigods and true gods, I'm still far behind!"

"You dare to compare yourself to a demigod or a true god? You are really ambitious, Mr. Xiaobai! Haha~"

After a few words of flattery, Xiaobai said:

"Why aren't you guys going to bed so late? Do you have customers this late at night?"

"Yes! Later, there will be monsters projected to the Marfa continent coming to buy supplies."

"oh?!"

"They are the monsters from the Woma Sect, the Zuma Sect, as well as the Red Moon Sect, the Bull Demon Sect, the Yellow Spring Sect, and other sects. They take turns on duty, and at 12 o'clock another large group of monsters will take over. They need to be supplied with a large amount of potions, scrolls, and equipment."

"Where are they working? Can I go and see for myself?" Xiaobai asked.

"They are in the Sky Tower on the 8th floor. Ordinary demon beasts are not allowed to go up there. Only demon beasts registered with these sects can enter. Master Xiaobai, although you can go to the 8th floor, you cannot enter the Sky Tower. If you really want to go and see it, you must obtain the permission of His Majesty Ksitigarbha."

"Okay, I understand!" Xiaobai nodded. "By the way, brothers, can you exchange ordinary gold coins from Marfa Continent?"

"Sure! The ratio between regular gold coins and Jinserkuri coins is 1 to 1. How many gold coins does Xiaobai have?"

"It's not much, just 8000 billion." Xiaobai said.

"What?! 8000 billion?!" Several businessmen were shocked.

"Yes, all converted into Jinserkuri coins. Brothers, is that okay?"

"Um~ Your Highness Xiaobai, it's not that we don't want to exchange, it's just that we don't have enough Jinsekuli coins! We each only have 1000 million Jinsekuli coins, which combined is only enough for half. And we can't exchange them all to you because we need to keep some liquid funds. How about you exchange less? Or wait until tomorrow morning and we can find a few other merchants to discuss it together?"

"Then let's exchange less. Brothers, please help me exchange 1000 million gold Se Curry coins. I want to put the rest all here with the bookseller. You don't have to give me Curry coins. If there are attribute books, just keep them for me." Xiaobai said.

"Mr. Xiaobai, do you mean to use the remaining 70 million gold Securi coins to buy all attribute books? The price of an attribute book is 100 gold per book, which means 7000 attribute books are needed. Even if I find several other book owners to cooperate with me, I can't get enough in a short time. You have to wait at least 4 or 5 months." said the bookseller.

"Then wait five months! I'll come back next month and give me whatever you have."

"Okay. I'll try my best!"

"Sorry, brother!"

Xiaobai said goodbye to the merchants and then met up with Brook in the distance, and together they teleported to the 8th floor of Mount Targon.

It's time to meet Ksitigarbha.
