AWB Chapter 492 Team Upgrade
Chapter 492 Team Upgrade
Zuo Ci handed the Vacuum Seal to Brook, who took a closer look.
Vacuum Taixu Seal: Increases health by 12, increases unparalleled energy by 200 points, and doubles the attack range!
Brook took a deep breath, took a step back, and bowed solemnly to Zuo Ci.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest! I am deeply grateful!"
"Please stand up quickly! You all found the Azure Dragon Gallbladder, Vermillion Bird Wing, and many other rare items yourselves. I just took action and followed the will of heaven. You two really don't have to be so polite."
"Master, according to our previous agreement, this detection necklace is given to you." Brook took out a primary detection necklace from behind and handed it to Zuo Ci.
"This divine power... seems to have the same origin as the teleportation ring." Zuo Ci said.
"Same clan? Uh, maybe. Taoist priest, where did your teleportation ring come from?" Brook asked.
"I got it from Master."
"Who is your master?"
"My master's name cannot be revealed. People all call him the Nanhua Old Immortal. That day, my master gave each of us, Zhang Jue, and Yu Ji, a heavenly book, and told us to spread the teachings on behalf of heaven and save people all over the world. According to the records in the book, I found this teleportation ring in a cave in Kunlun Mountain." Zuo Ci said.
"Is there a treasure map in "Taiping Yaoshu"? " Bayin interrupted and asked.
"The Taiping Essentials was given to Zhang Jue. Mine is the Dunjia Heavenly Book, and Yu Ji's is the Taiping Qingling Dao."
"Oh~ I noticed that the Taoist priest seems to use the teleportation ring differently from us. Can it only be used once per minute?"
"I use the power of the Dunjia Heavenly Book to forcibly drive the teleportation ring, but my skills are limited, so generally speaking, I will only use it once a minute. Do you know other uses for the teleportation ring?" Zuo Ci asked.
"Master, perhaps you can try our method."
So Brook told Zuo Ci the spells such as @move and coordinates, and also told him the spell to detect the necklace.
Zuo Ci was overjoyed. This kind of spell was much easier than forcing it with his internal energy. Moreover, he knew the exact usage of the detection necklace. He was immediately grateful to Brook and Bayin.
After gaining some favorability with Zuo Ci, Brook and Zuo Ci got up and said goodbye. After defeating the commander of the Shu army at Dingjun Mountain, they returned to the Dragon Empire.
※※※※※※※
The first thing Brook and his companions did upon returning to Wushuang City was check their backpacks. They had indeed successfully brought back the Vacuum Seal! It didn't need to be worn; simply placing it in their backpack would work, making it incredibly convenient. Its value was no less than that of the Resurrection Ring, making it arguably Brook's tenth artifact!
The second thing they wanted to do was to re-enter Changbanpo to see if Adou still had the Qinglong Gallbladder. Unfortunately, the Battle of Changbanpo would not resume for another 4 days, so they could not enter for the time being.
"Mu Yue told me that they were almost successful in the last Battle of Red Cliffs, but unfortunately they made a mistake and failed. Now they have gone to the Battle of Guandu and will not be back for a few days. Mu Yue is very serious now. The White Tiger Secret Stone has been maxed out with 1 attacks, and all the elementary military books are also complete. I have only maxed out 3000 points of the White Tiger Secret Stone, which is still more than half of the maximum." Bayin said with some resentment in his tone.
"Don't worry, it will be more convenient to kill the minions together after we get the Basalt Secret Stone."
"That's true. Otherwise, if we fill up the White Tiger Secret Stone and the Black Tortoise Secret Stone, we'll have to spawn another 50 minions."
"Mu Xue told me that Tuoba Hongfei, an 8th-rank Taoist priest of the Tuoba family, went to the Wenren family half a month ago and asked if they had any extra paralysis rings for sale. The Tuoba family is willing to offer 200 million ingots for the purchase." Brooke said.
"Haha, this Tuoba Hongfei is quite polite. It was obviously the paralysis ring that exploded in their family that was picked up by you, but he didn't say a word." Bayin said with a smile.
"Among the remaining rank 8 masters from the three major families, Tuoba Hongye seems to be the only warrior. Since the Tuoba family is so polite, we will give him this face. There are still three paralysis rings in the warehouse, so it won't hurt to give him one." Brook said.
Tuoba Hongye had dropped a paralysis ring that was about to reach the second level, and Bayin was currently using it. Of course, this second-level ring would not be returned to the other party, and Brook would at most give them a primary one.
"Yes. And there's Wolong Villa. When are you planning to go there?" Bayin asked. With the Vacuum Taixu Seal, Brooke had enough confidence.
"No rush. Before we go to Wolong Villa, let's go back to District 10's Light. We should also go see Uncle Fu, Master, Baili Feijian, Shangguan Yanling, Xiao Shuai, Qinglu and the others."
"Okay. We still have quite a bit of equipment in our warehouse, so we can bring back some extra gifts."
"kindness."
When the two of them returned to Area 10, they no longer needed the Divine Weapon, because Brook's teleportation ring had reached the top level and could be used to teleport directly from the Dragon Empire.
With a whoosh, Brook and Bayin landed on Phoenix Terrace and then flew to the entrance of the King's Forest. They could fly directly to Biqi Ginkgo Village, but they had to meet the mysterious old man first.
"Senior, long time no see!"
"Brook, Bayin, you have already reached the 7th level?!" the mysterious old man said in surprise.
Brook Bayin chatted with the mysterious old man and reminisced about the past. He gave him hundreds of gems, crystals, magic blood stones, random stones and return stones, and also left more than 10 six-turn pills.
The mysterious old man was quite powerful, at level 150, 5th rank, arguably the strongest force in Area 10. At level 150, he could already reach the 6th rank, though he wasn't at level 160 yet, so he might fail when attempting to reach a bloodline node. But it didn't matter; Brook still had plenty of 6th rank pills, so even if a few failed, it wouldn't matter.
After giving so many gifts, the mysterious old man was also very polite. He did not give them shabby clothes anymore, but gave each of them a set of level 40 professional heavy equipment.
Brook changed into the Taoist robe of Tianzun, and Bayin put on the colorful feathered robe. After changing clothes, the two were teleported to Biqi Ginkgo Village.
The ginkgo tree in the square is more than two people tall, standing in the morning mist, like a fan that has not been fully unfolded; the leaves have not yet been dyed with the gilded autumn colors, and the translucent emerald green leaves are covered with dew, dancing lightly in the breeze, full of vitality.
Brook met the village chief, the proprietress of Gao's cloth shop, the owner of the weapons shop, the owner of the grocery store... Finally, surrounded by everyone in the village, he entered Xu's pharmacy and saw Uncle Fu and his two new alchemist apprentices.
There was laughter and joy in Xu's Pharmacy.
Now Uncle Fu is already a level 30 Taoist priest. Not only can heal illnesses and save lives, but he can also wield a sword to kill monsters. His reputation has spread far and wide, and his pharmacy business is also very good. He is so busy that he recruited two apprentices.
Brook also vividly recounted to the villagers his experiences of wandering outside, the cruelty of the Zuma leader, the eerie horror of the Red Moon Lair, the difficult and arduous journey through the Demon Dragon's East Gate...
"...And so, Bayin and I worked hand in hand, using poison to constantly drain the opponent's health. After three days and three nights of bitter fighting, the evil centipede was tortured to death by us, unable to burrow back into the burrow. Finally, it could no longer bear it, and with the last bit of its health exhausted, it exploded with a loud bang, revealing the legendary Dragon Slaying Sword!"
"Good!" Finally, the boss, the evil centipede, was killed and the villagers applauded.
"Everyone, Bayin and I came back this time with two dried chickens from Dark Palace Chicken! Since the quantity is limited, we can only split it up. Everyone, take it back and make soup!"
"Oh~ Dark Palace Chicken!" The villagers were very excited. It was said that Xu Fu had acquired the physique of a Taoist priest because of eating Dark Palace Chicken. It must be very nourishing!
So, under the personal care of the village chief, two air-dried dark palace chickens were cut into several portions, and every household in Ginkgo Village got one. The villagers happily went home carrying the chicken.
The three of them sat down in the inner hall of the pharmacy, and Brook began to talk about the Dragon Empire.
"It's easier to upgrade in the Dragon Empire, and you can even be reborn...Uncle Fu, come with us to the Dragon Empire!" Brook said.
Uncle Fu shook his head and refused.
"The Tianzun of Bairimen once told me that although I accidentally gained a Taoist physique thanks to the Snake King's Gallbladder and the Dark Palace Chicken, I am old after all, my foundation is unstable, and my potential is limited. I can only reach level 35 at best. Even if I go to the Shenlong Empire, I will not be able to reincarnate."
"Oh?" Brooke grabbed Uncle Fu's right hand and examined it carefully. As the Celestial Lord had said, Uncle Fu's body was like an old tree. Although new branches had sprouted from it, the roots at the bottom had stopped growing and even withered in some places.
"Uncle Fu, don't lose heart. Come with me to the Dragon Empire and slowly recuperate. There will always be a way to reach level 50 and be reborn." Brook persuaded.
"You know your own body best. Don't forget that I am a pharmacist. In fact, since I became a cultivator, I have more energy than before, and my life span is longer than that of ordinary people. What else can I be dissatisfied with? I have lived in Ginkgo Village for half my life and have long been accustomed to it. You know, I am now a famous person in Biqi City and I live a very comfortable life. If I follow you to the Shenlong Empire, there will be high-level cultivators everywhere, and it will be full of dangers. How can it be as comfortable as here? I will not go to the Shenlong Empire. When you and Bayin are free, come back to Ginkgo Village to see me." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Brooke had no choice but to give up, but in his heart he was silently thinking about how to change Forber's foundation and make the dead tree reborn.
Brooke and Bayin accompanied Uncle Fu for a good dinner and then spent the night at the Xu family pharmacy. The next morning, Brooke handed Uncle Fu a defensive ring and urged him to wear it constantly. Perhaps this magical artifact could subtly and completely transform Uncle Fu's fundamental constitution.
The two left Ginkgo Village and found Situ Haoyun, Baili Feijian, and Shangguan Yanling in the Stone Plain. They were currently clearing out the demonic beasts in the Stone Plain. The demonic beasts of the Marfa Continent spawned periodically, and if left unchecked for a long time, they could mutate. While this was generally possible in otherworldly maps, where warriors from otherworlds could help slay them, the Stone Plain map was not yet open to otherworldly warriors, requiring only Marfa monks to clear it.
Situ Haoyun and the other two were now level 70, just reaching the minimum level requirement for the second transformation. Brook took out the second and third transformation pills, the reincarnation stone, equipment, and a large amount of gold ingots and handed them to the three of them.
"Master, you wasted an opportunity to reincarnate and revive when you opened up my cultivator's physique. Now let me do something for you. You can use these second-level pills to reincarnate first, and leave the monsters in Ishihara to me and Bayin." Brook said.
Situ Haoyun already knew that Brook Bayin had reached the seventh level. With them helping to clear out the monsters, why would he be worried? So he immediately sat cross-legged in meditation and used the second level pill to attack the bloodline nodes.
An hour later, Situ Haoyun and the other two had broken through to the second level. Brook and Bayin had also cleared the monsters in Ishihara and even the nearby Disaster Ridge.
"Finally made it to the second level, that's great! Haoyun, you really have a good disciple!" Shangguan Yanling said happily.
"That's right! Now that we have so many gold ingots, when we go to the Dragon Empire again, we can directly upgrade to level 100 and directly turn 3!" Baili Feijian said.
"Master, if you want to go to the Dragon Empire, I can take you there now." Brook said.
"Now? Our mission is to defend Ishihara for half a year, so we can't leave for the time being. And I don't know if the mysterious old man has any extra fallen divine weapons."
"Even without the fallen divine weapon, you can still go to the Dragon Empire. You can join my team." Brook said.
The top-tier teleportation ring, in addition to being able to teleport over extremely long distances, can also be used for group teleportation. As for the monsters in Ishihara, they had just been cleaned out by Brook and the others. Even if they would spawn in a short period of time, they wouldn't spawn too many.
"Oh, right! Wait a minute, I'm going to bring two more friends over."
Brooke said, and vanished in a flash. Moments later, Xiao Shuai and Zhici Qinglu, who were clearing monsters in Dragon Ridge, were brought over by Brooke.
"Oh my god! Bayin, you're already level 180! You two ungrateful guys have completely forgotten about me. I've only just reached level 50..." Xiao Shuai was almost crying.
"Okay, don't be sad. I'm going to take you to level up! Everyone, join my team and let's go!"
Brooke led everyone to the Shenlong Empire and headed straight for the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the manor. He then called in a group of Wenren family members for help. Brooke Bayin was responsible for paying, and they were responsible for buying equipment from the auction house. Situ Haoyun, Xiao Shuai and the other three were only responsible for smelting the equipment.
The furnace only had three openings, so five people couldn't melt anything at once. They had to wait in line, throwing their gear into the furnace. The flames burned relentlessly, never quite this intense, even when Brook and Bayin were smelting. The onlookers were stunned, fearing the furnace would explode from overload.
Xiao Shuai and his companions still had a mission to complete in the Marfa Continent, and their time in the Dragon Empire was limited. They ignored the strange looks from the people around them and just kept on smelting.
"Damn it! Have these guys never seen the Heaven and Earth Furnace? They're in such a hurry, they can't melt it tomorrow, right?"
"Who are they? So rich? I've never seen them before."
"Didn't you see the Wenren family sending them equipment?"
"No wonder, it turns out he's from the Wenren family..."
"How long will this be melted? It's taking up all three furnace openings..."
"You just arrived, and I've been waiting for an hour! Just wait patiently, we're teaming up to level up..."
The noise even attracted the attention of the people in the manor.
"What's so noisy outside?"
"Reporting to the owner of the manor, five low-level cultivators have occupied the Heaven and Earth Furnace, causing dissatisfaction among the people."
"Have you checked your background?"
"I've checked. According to the information obtained by the Wenren family, those people are friends of the Dragon Knight Bayinbuluke..."
"Oh~haha, this is what they call when one person succeeds, everyone else benefits. Let them be."
By noon, the flames of the furnace of heaven and earth finally subsided.
"Master Brook, a total of 632 million ingots have been spent so far. All the equipment in the auction house has been sold out, and all the equipment below level 5 in the family warehouse has been taken out. In addition, we have borrowed from the Linghu family and the Ximen family... I heard that Master Brook is familiar with the three major families. Do you want to borrow some from them?" asked a member of the Wenren family.
"Forget it, let's stop here today. We'll melt it again when we have the chance. You guys have been busy running around, and it's really hard work. Thank you very much! This money can be used to buy tea for you all." Brooke gave the team leader 2000 yuan as a fee for running errands.
"Thank you, Master!"
After the smelting was completed, Brooke brought Situ Haoyun and the others back to the light of Area 10. They then began to consume the Spirit Gathering Pearls, and the five of them flashed with golden light, constantly upgrading.
In the end, Situ Haoyun, Baili Feijian, and Shangguan Yanling reached level 132, and Xiao Shuai and Zhici Qinglu also reached level 130.
Level 130 was the minimum threshold for the 5th level. Brook distributed Reincarnation Pills to the five people and then sent them back to Ishihara and Dragon Castle, where they each found a place to meditate and reincarnate. Reaching the 5th level in a row took quite a while.
Brook and Bayin flew to Shabak.
Little shrimp fan, waiting at the Shabak warehouse.
