Chapter 247 Taurus Staff
Brooke attacked while observing his surroundings. There were no monsters nearby, and the location was remote, so no one should be coming. But he still had to be cautious.
"You don't have to worry too much. If someone really comes, I will call my sister to help." Wenren Muyue said.
"How many turns has your sister made?"
"Fourth turn, just a little bit away from fifth turn."
"What's missing?" Brooke asked puzzledly.
"Bloodline Essence. Each time you reincarnate, you need to open up 10 bloodline nodes in the human body, which requires Bloodline Essence. The higher the reincarnation level, the more Bloodline Essence is consumed. However, this Bloodline Essence is difficult to obtain, and even the Empire's reserves are limited. After a cultivator reaches level 50, they can purchase it once a day at the Chamber of Commerce. Only during festivals will the Empire allow multiple purchases. This requires gold ingots, which is very expensive, and not everyone can afford it."
"Then where did the empire get this blood essence from?" Brook asked.
"I don't know either. This is a secret of the empire, and we have no way of knowing. My brother and sister once discussed this matter, and they speculated that there might be a hidden cave on a certain continent, which contains special minerals containing the essence of the blood demon." Wenren Muyue guessed.
"Oh, I see. So, even if I reach level 50, I won't be able to reincarnate right away. I need to accumulate blood essence."
"Yes. The first turn is easier, and you can quickly accumulate enough blood essence."
"Mu Yue, since you're a direct descendant of the family, you shouldn't be short of skill books. Why is your lightning skill only level 4? Can't it be upgraded to level 5 or 6?"
“40级开始，可以学4级技能；80级以后，才能学5级技能；120级才能学6级技能。学技能是有等级限制的。”
"I see." Brook thought for a moment and asked again, "All the participants in this underground palace trial are newcomers who haven't reincarnated yet. Could it be that some people, in order to win the trial, deliberately refuse to reincarnate and work hard to level up?"
"Yes! To achieve good results, every family has such people, especially the three major families. But you don't have to worry too much. If you don't reincarnate, level 70 is the upper limit for newcomers."
"The highest level is 70. Okay, I understand."
The two chatted casually, and time passed quickly. An hour and a half later, the Ancient Ice Maiden was left with only a sliver of health. Brooke nervously observed her surroundings, fearing a high-level cultivator would suddenly appear and ruin her efforts. Wenren Muyue was also very excited. This was the first time in her life that she had killed such a high-level ancient monster.
The lightning spell fell, the ancient ice girl's health was reduced to zero, and she exploded.
"Taurus Staff!" Wenren Muyue saw the top-grade equipment that exploded at a glance and ran over excitedly to pick it up.
"Just one Taurus? Oh, what bad luck!" Brook was disappointed. The Taurus equipment was a rank three item, and he had hoped to get a rank five item.
"Isn't it good to get the Golden Bull? And it's a weapon, very rare. Many third-level cultivators in my family still carry Fire Dragon weapons. Just be content!" Wenren Muyue said angrily.
"Oh, I see~ Then we're pretty lucky." Brook said as he picked up other items on the ground.
"Brook, can you sell me this Taurus Staff? Our family needs it." Wenren Muyue said.
Brook turned around and gave Wenren Muyue a strange look, then asked, "Is it you who needs it? Or is it your family who needs it?"
"I need it too, and my family needs it too. We both need it!"
"Then you can take it."
"Thank you. How much gold should I give you?" Wenren Muyue asked.
"No need. It's a mage equipment anyway. You can use it in the future, so it's only natural to give it to you." Brook replied.
"You gave it to me directly? How can that be so? This kind of Golden Bull weapon, the lowest purchase price from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce is 150 Yuanbao. If it were put up at the auction house, even 300 Yuanbao would be quickly bought. Since we won it together, we should split it equally. However, I only have 100 Yuanbao on me, so I'll give you the remaining 50 Yuanbao next time."
"Uh~ no need for that! If we follow your method and get some Taoist equipment next time, won't I have to give you half of it? It's so troublesome to divide it up again and again. We are good friends, so of course the equipment we get together should be given to whoever can use it." Brook had already picked up all the things and started collecting soul materials, but unfortunately he didn't dig up anything.
"What you say always makes sense." Wenren Muyue murmured, "But, such good equipment, I'm afraid there won't be a chance to drop it next time."
"Hey~ Just fight the 5th-level monsters a few more times, and the equipment will continue to drop. Do you know how often the Ancient Ice Maiden refreshes?" Brook said indifferently.
Wenren Muyue was speechless. This Brook had no idea of the Dragon Empire's situation. He made it seem like the Ancient Ice Maiden was just one of his own, ready to be killed at will. Monsters of this caliber were usually kept under observation. Brook was incredibly lucky to have encountered one.
"Ice Girl takes 4 hours to clear."
"Oh. What about the Fire Dragon Cult Leader?"
"The refresh time for the second-level Fire Dragon Lord is 2 and a half hours, the third-level Spider is 3 hours, and the fourth-level Fox is 3 and a half hours." Wenren Muyue said it all at once.
"Okay, I've got that." Brooke said as he opened the map and took a look. Then he said to Wenren Muyue, "I'm going to go find the monsters. You wait here for me."
"Where are you going? Hey~" Before Wenren Muyue could finish her words, Brook had disappeared.
Wenren Muyue stomped her feet in anger and had to wait there.
※※※※※※※
Brook flew to the west of the Dragon Empire, within the Ancient Demon King's territory. According to Wenren Muyue, the Ancient Demon King was also a rank 5 demon beast.
The Ancient Demon King's barrier was located within a dense forest. Brook wandered around in the woods for several minutes but still couldn't find the Ancient Demon King. He probably had been killed and hadn't been spawned yet.
Brook wasn't entirely unsuccessful, however. He found a decent location for locating the monster. The reason for this being a decent location is that, while it's a good location for locating the monster, it's not quite hidden enough. It's located by a river just outside the woods. If someone wanders around and can't find the Ancient Demon King within the woods, they'll find it immediately once they step outside.
If we want to kill this ancient demon king, we have to do it quickly. Brook and Wenren Muyue alone are too dangerous, we really need to call Wenren Muxue over to help.
Since the ancient demon king hasn't refreshed, let's go find the next one.
The compass beeped, a message from Wenren Muyue:
"Hey, are you okay? It's been almost 10 minutes."
"I'm fine. Wait a moment, I'll call you when I'm better." After Brook said that, he flew into the barrier of another 5th-level monster.
The whistling sound of the wind blew past. This place was located on the northern border of the Shenlong Empire continent. Not far away lay a swirling sea of clouds, a truly magnificent sight. Strangely, there were several overturned fishing boats, and in the distance, a rather large dock.
We are clearly in the sky here, so how could there be a dock?
Perhaps long ago, before the Dragon Empire was suspended in the air, this place was a fishing village, located on the seashore, just like Cang Yue Island in Marfa, hence the pier.
Brooke came to the edge of the continent and stopped to watch. The air here was fresh and the scenery was magnificent. It was really a great place to linger. If Wenren Muyue hadn't been waiting, he really wanted to sit down and stay comfortably for a while.
Let’s go and find the monster leader first.
