Chapter 242 Resonance
Brook waited in the Maya City Square. Five minutes later, someone from the Wenren family came towards him.
Moreover, the person who came was Wenren Muyue.
"Why are you here?" Brooke smiled.
"I came to deliver the materials to you. You just ran away without saying a word. Are you still a good friend?" Wenren Muyue said angrily.
"Your sister is too powerful, and she doesn't seem to like me very much. If I make her angry, she can kill me in seconds with a bolt of lightning. Tell me, should I leave quickly?" Brook said with a smile.
"My sister isn't that kind of person. In fact, although the underground palace trials offer generous rewards, battles often occur, and many cultivators die in the trials every year. If you're not strong enough, you'll suffer greatly. That's why my sister wants you to reach level 50 quickly. She made that offer for your own good."
"I don't blame her. It's just that I'm just a newcomer with limited strength, so I can't really help with the big issues between your families."
"Don't say that. Strength does not only refer to level and skills, but also depends on intelligence, wisdom and luck. Anyway, I think you are very powerful. Our family has not been in the top three for many years. I will lead the team this time, and I hope you can come to help me." Wenren Muyue said.
"What? Your family asked you to lead the team? Um, I want to ask, how old are you this year?" Brooke was a little surprised.
Since the trial is so important to the family, why would the Wenren family let such a young and inexperienced girl lead the team? Brook was puzzled.
"I'm already 16 years old, only two years younger than you. I know what you mean, but the rules of the underground palace trial state that if a family wants to participate, there must be a direct family member leading the team. I'm only the captain in name only. In fact, after entering the underground palace, there will be other people taking command." Wenren Muyue explained.
"Oh, I see." Brook nodded. This made sense. He then asked, "The underground palace trial you're talking about is the trial in the novice underground palace?"
"That's right, the location is in the Novice Underground Palace. However, in addition to the Novice Underground Palace, there will be two additional maps. These two maps are the key to determining victory or defeat." Wenren Muyue said quietly, "I heard that the rewards for this Underground Palace Trial are very generous. The reward for the first place individual may very well be a divine artifact!"
"Artifact?"
"Well, it seems that the people of the three major families obtained it in the Marfa Continent in the lower world."
"The Lower Realm of Marfa? Don't you have any artifacts in the Dragon Empire?"
"You don't know. Ever since our Dragon Empire used the suspension formation to fly into the air, although the magic power between heaven and earth has increased a lot, and the equipment, skills, and levels have all been greatly improved; but for some reason, no artifacts have been dropped again. It seems that artifacts can only be bred in the lower world of Marfa." Wenren Muyue explained.
"So the Empire can only send people to Marfa Continent to collect artifacts?"
"Yes. However, due to the interference of the Red Star and the Bronze Gate of the Otherworld, the Empire cannot send anyone into the Netherworld at will. Only under special circumstances can one enter the Marfa Continent, and then the time is very short. In addition, the drop rate of artifacts is extremely low, so even the Empire has difficulty obtaining artifacts."
"The empire finally obtained the artifact this time. Why didn't they keep it well, but instead gave it out so generously as a reward?" Brook asked.
"I'm not too sure about this. I'm afraid only people from the three major families know the reason. However, my sister said that no matter what the specific reason is, it is most likely just a distribution of interests among the three major families. Because in previous trial competitions, those who won the top few places in individual points are basically people from the three major families. It depends on who gets the first place this time." Wenren Muyue replied.
"Which three families? Are you the Wen family one of them?"
"The three major families are: Xuanyuan, Tuoba, and Duanmu. My Wenren family was once a first-class family, but now it is no longer as good as it used to be."
"Why?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I have time. I still have to go to the Fire Dragon Temple with my sister. I'll give you the soul materials first." Wenren Muyue said, taking out some materials and handing them to Brook.
"Huh! So many?" Brook asked in surprise. Wenren Muyue had given him five soul materials, not two.
"These two were given to you by my sister, and the other three were secretly given to you by me when my sister wasn't paying attention. They are all relatively good materials." Wenren Muyue said quietly.
"You stole it!" Brooke asked worriedly, "Does your family have any family rules? Will you be punished according to the family rules?"
"No, it's just some soul materials. At most, my sister will glare at me. It's okay." Wenren Muyue continued, "I originally wanted to get a few skill books from the family warehouse for you, but my sister found out. She won't let me give you anything else, wuwu~"
"That's great, thank you very much. Leave the rest to me," said Brooke.
"So, you will come to help me, right?" Wenren Muyue stared at Brook and asked seriously.
Brooke looked at Wenren Muyue pretending to be pitiful and couldn't bear to refuse, so he said:
"Okay. Since you don't mind, then I'll come. However, the team cannot restrict my freedom. If there is a disagreement, I have the right to leave the team."
"What disagreement? What leaving the team? You can't say something nice? It really makes me angry. Don't worry, with me here, no one in the team will bully you." Wenren Muyue said unhappily, "Okay, it's settled. My sister is urging me to leave, I have to go. Let's add each other as friends first, and we'll contact each other if there's anything."
The two of them added each other as friends, and Wenren Muyue left in a hurry.
Brooke looked at Wenren Muyue's departing figure and smiled. What a warm-hearted girl! They had only just met by chance, but she really treated him as a good friend.
The annual Underground Palace Trial happened to be a good opportunity, so of course I had to participate. In that case, why not join the Wenren Family team and see how it goes?
Brook opened his backpack and looked at the soul material that Wenren Muyue gave him.
The token of the Fire Dragon Cult Leader, the handprint of the Demon Dragon Cult Leader, the hammer of the Demon Dragon Warrior, the jaws of the Dragon God, and the sebum of the Red Moon Demon.
Wenren Muyue said these materials were relatively good, and Brooke understood what she meant. Some monster bosses were lower level, making them easier to kill, respawning quickly, and not dropping loot. Therefore, there wasn't much competition among cultivators, making their materials easier to obtain. Other monsters were relatively rare or highly valuable, leading to fierce competition and making their soul materials even more valuable.
In addition, there are two kinds of materials in Brook's backpack: Stone Tomb Corpse King and Demonic Dragon Tree Demon, which now adds up to 2 materials.
Brook teleported to the manor and entered the Soul Hall. He infused the statue with the soul materials of four demonic beasts: the Dragon Toucher, the Crimson Moon Demon, the Stone Tomb Corpse King, and the Demonic Dragon Tree Demon. Combined with the material from the Demonic Dragon Cult Master, he now had infused the statue with the soul materials of five bloodthirsty demonic beasts, achieving the first level of bloodthirsty soul resonance.
Brook sensed a faint vibration coming from the five demon beast statues. Then, a trace of Qi and blood flew out from the statues and directly penetrated his body. Brook instantly felt his Qi and blood become full. A closer look at his stats revealed that his health had indeed increased significantly, reaching 5 points.
This soul resonance is truly magical. It actually uses the power of resonance vibration to forcibly extract the qi and blood from the monster statue's body and use it to increase the cultivator's life value.
These demon beast statues were indeed no ordinary statues. They were likely real demon beasts, and it was unknown how they were sealed here by the Dragon Empire.
Brick withdrew his gaze from the statue, then took out the remaining three soul materials from his backpack and fed them directly to the detection necklace.
