Chapter 319 Equipment Awakening
Although Ximen Wuxie was a womanizer, he was also quite calculating. Even though he didn't care about the lives of his retainers, he still maintained a good facade to keep them loyal. Each of these direct descendants of the aristocratic families was not to be underestimated.
After the fight just now, Brook clearly felt his own shortcomings: insufficient damage. He was not strong enough and needed to work harder.
"Are you OK?"
Brook and Wenren Muyue met at Qingqiu City Square and asked in unison.
"I'm fine. The strongest of those guys is only at the third level. I'm so tough that they can't do anything to me." Brook said.
"I'm fine too. That Ximen Wuxie is really treacherous. Fortunately, the protective shield blocked some of the damage." Wenren Muyue said.
"Did he see your fire ring?"
"At first I thought so. But then I thought it wasn't right. He must be trying to trick me with words, but unfortunately I didn't react. I might have really been exposed." Wenren Muyue said in annoyance.
"Should we tell your second sister about this? They dared to attack you, so why don't we give them a taste of their own medicine?"
"No!" Wenren Muyue said hurriedly, "If the two families clash, it will benefit no one. My sister is busy enough, and father's health has not recovered yet. Don't cause a big trouble because of my little thing."
Brooke remained silent. It seemed that the Wenren Family had no confidence in defeating the Ximen Family. He thought for a moment and said:
"You need to go to the furnace more often to equip yourself and upgrade Blood Demon and King Kong as soon as possible. My level is sufficient for now, so I'll give you all the gold I've earned in the past few days."
"Okay. Before I reach the third level, I won't dare to go out wearing the flame ring. I want to become as tough as you." Wenren Muyue made up her mind. She was too fragile now.
"By the way, why don't you wear a veil?" Brooke asked.
Although the ordinary veil is not as powerful as the lucky veil, it can also play a certain role in covering equipment.
"We've saved all the veils we've made at home to make a level 8 veil. My sister said we're almost there."
"Looks like we need to fight more ancient bosses. The veil is a good item, you'd better wear it. Although the drop rate is low, as long as you keep fighting, you will get it eventually."
"Well, let's go. Although Qingqiu City is beautiful, the most it can drop is Domination equipment. It doesn't seem to be as good as the suburbs of the Shenlong Empire and the underground palace abyss."
"That's right. We will go to the Abyss first, and then go to the outskirts of the empire to find the ancient leader."
Although Wenren Muyue and Brook are only at the second or third level, because they occupy the underground palace abyss and often fight the fifth-level ice maiden, their vision is naturally high. They don't even look down on the fourth-level fox in Qingqiu City.
Calculating the time, the Ice Girl in the abyss of the underground palace has been defeated. The two left Qingqiu City and headed for the manor.
From day to night, the two of them battled bosses throughout the Abyss and the outskirts of the Empire. Brooke, with his detection necklace, had a natural advantage in finding monsters. The day was quite rewarding, not only finding a lot of equipment but also a common level 1 veil. Wenren Muyue put it on.
A regular level one veil wouldn't be much use against a second-rank cultivator like Wenren Muyue. The mist it created was very thin, and at best, it could only block the detection of a first-rank cultivator. To block a second-rank cultivator, a level two veil would be required. This way, any second-rank cultivator whose level wasn't higher than Wenren Muyue's wouldn't be able to see through the mist, and thus, their equipment.
As for the third-level veil, Wenren Muyue cannot wear it unless she reaches the third level.
The best are, of course, the Lucky Veil or the Poison Veil. These require a Level 8 Veil, along with a Lucky Gem or several Poison Crystals to craft. These two special veils not only block detection by cultivators below Level 8, but also don't require a Rebirth Level, allowing them to be worn by anyone at Level .
The drop rate of the veil is very low. Although it can be dropped by ancient leaders, Brook and Wenren Muyue have only dropped 2 in total so far.
Each level of the veil requires three veils of the same level, making it extremely difficult to combine them to level 3. The Wenren family has accumulated a wealth of veils over the years, yet they have only managed to combine one poisonous veil. It was previously worn by the clan leader, Wenren Tianxiang, and has now been passed down to his eldest son, Wenren Mufeng.
Soon, the Wenren family will be synthesizing their second level 8 veil. According to Wenren Muyue, this time the family is preparing to synthesize a lucky veil.
Of course, a veil, while rare, was far less valuable than a divine weapon. It was, at best, a luxury item. Having one was always best, but not having one was irrelevant. Unless, like Brooke and Wenren Muyue, they wore a divine weapon and needed a veil to conceal it.
In short, the veil can only be accumulated slowly, there is no point in being impatient.
Wenren Muyue returned to the family warehouse and exchanged the supplies he had harvested today for over 100 pieces of Fire Dragon equipment. He then went to the Heaven and Earth Furnace to smelt the equipment.
Before smelting, she specifically borrowed the Lucky Veil from Brook and donned the Flame Ring, a divine artifact. As expected, her luck improved significantly, yielding two Fire Crystals. Based on the current market price, she'd earned back 2 Yuanbao. Of course, the items were just the icing on the cake; her primary goal in smelting was to obtain the Spirit Gathering Orb, Blood Demon Essence, and Diamond Essence, all in order to increase her level and strength.
"The level has increased by 1, and the Blood Demon and King Kong have also increased rapidly. Now the health volume has reached 2240." Wenren Muyue said happily.
"Not bad, keep up the good work."
"By the way, we have saved a lot of awakening stones. Let's go awaken our equipment." Wenren Muyue said.
"How to awaken?" asked Brook. He had saved more than 300 awakening stones.
"Go to the West Market and find the Equipment Awakening Master."
The shop owned by Master Juexing was located in Anju Lane, West Market. It was still brightly lit and open for business. The two of them walked in.
Equipment awakening is similar to equipment power stars. Only six special equipment items—the jade pendant, shield, medal, veil, bamboo hat, and healing stone—can be awakened. Wenren Muyue mentioned that the bamboo hat and healing stone can only be worn after level 6.
Awakening equipment requires Awakening Stones. Each level increases Taoism, Magic, or Attack by 0-3. For the first five levels, only one Awakening Stone is needed; at level 5, three Awakening Stones are needed, and at level 1, nine. The more you advance, the more Awakening Stones you'll need. Fortunately, they both had a good stockpile of Awakening Stones, which was enough for now.
Brook awakened the jade pendant, shield, medal, and veil to level 10. Every 5 levels of awakening, a special effect will appear.
After the jade pendant awakens to level 10, the damage caused increases by 2%.
After the shield awakens to level 10, the damage received is reduced by 2%.
After the medal awakens to level 10, the critical hit damage caused will increase by an additional 325.
After the Veil awakens to level 10, when fighting with a monk, as long as the Veil awakening level is higher than the opponent, it can increase the damage by an additional 5%.
4 pieces of equipment, a total of 80 awakening stones were used up. The attack and Taoist attributes increased by 120 points in total, which is a very good effect.
The Veil is a bit special. Its damage increase is only effective against cultivators, not monsters. Furthermore, the special effect of the Level 5 awakening is the same as the Level 10 awakening, increasing damage by 5%.
Brook wanted to continue awakening, but was rejected by the awakening master. It turned out that Brook's level was not high enough. In order to awaken to level 11, he had to reach level 105.
Wenren Muyue is now level 82 and can only awaken his equipment to level 6.
"Master, what is the highest level that the equipment can be awakened to?" Brook asked.
"The highest level is 30. Assuming you can reach level 200."
"What is the effect of awakening equipment to level 30?"
"You will know when the time comes."
"Um...how many people have awakened their equipment to level 30?"
The Awakening Master glanced at Brook indifferently and replied in a cold voice: "Imperial secrets, no comment."
"Um...Okay. Master, how many gold ingots should I give you in total?"
"No need. The awakening equipment is free, and the empire will pay me a salary. It's already late, if you two have nothing else to do, please go back." The awakening master ordered them to leave.
Perhaps it was because it was too late and disturbed the Awakening Master's rest; perhaps Brook asked questions that shouldn't have been asked, which displeased the Awakening Master; of course, it could also be that the Awakening Master himself was simply cold and aloof. Brook was unable to get any information and had to give up.
Some people prefer solitude and quiet, while others prefer crowds and bustle. People have their own personalities. Different personalities can lead to a mutual attraction, creating a sense of familiarity, or repulsion, creating a deep dislike. Even if you're exceptional, you can't expect everyone to like you.
The two walked out of the store.
The compass in the backpack was beeping. Brooke opened it and saw that it was a message from Wenren Muxue.
