Sun, Wangzhetianxia, Xiaorong and others have truly grown into powerful individuals capable of standing on their own.
Watching the exciting battles in the video, Nie Yan felt that he couldn’t have done any better himself, and a sense of comfort and emotion stirred in his heart.
Perhaps it was truly unnecessary for him to reappear—he could just leave Niuren Tribe in their capable hands. Even if he wanted to return to his peak, he might not have the strength anymore, so he might as well enjoy the leisure.
Nie Yan glanced at his pet slots. The Light-Dark Holy Dragon had already hatched, but its level hadn’t increased. There was still another pet slot available. Thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the guild warehouse to get a dragon egg. Previously, their group had wiped out a Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon and obtained three dragon eggs, which had already been claimed by other guild members. However, there was still one Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon egg left in the guild warehouse. It was said to be the offspring of a tamed Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon, a rare occurrence indeed.
Nie Yan decided to take that Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon egg to hatch it and feed it Mutant Crystals, giving him three dragon pets. With the powerful firepower of three dragon pets, leveling up would become much faster.
Currently, in the Chaos Temple, there was a skill book called Mental Shock, a passive skill.
This passive skill could be learned by players of any class. Once acquired, all pets would keep their distance. Therefore, during duels with skilled opponents, pets became completely useless. They were only suitable for leveling. However, with three powerful pets, leveling up could be significantly faster, saving a lot of time. His level had already fallen far behind.
Thinking of this, Nie Yan headed directly toward the warehouse manager, opened the guild warehouse, and used his guild contribution points to exchange for the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon egg. Nearly three million contribution points were unattainable for ordinary players of Niuren Tribe, but for Nie Yan, it was effortless.
The news of Nie Yan redeeming the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon egg stirred quite a commotion among some players. Many had long coveted the egg, but with so many valuable items in the Niuren Tribe guild warehouse, the loss of one dragon egg wouldn’t attract too much attention.
After Hall successfully tamed the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragons, he opened a pet shop in Okolen City. Nie Yan used a fixed-point teleportation to arrive there and hatched the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon egg. Upon consuming the Mutant Crystal, the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon’s growth rate reached only 20 points, which was on par with the Golden Earth Dragon. This fell significantly short of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon’s 30-point growth rate.
After completing all preparations, Nie Yan browsed through the guild warehouse to see if there were any good items. It had been three years, and his equipment had not been updated. Many items in the guild warehouse were far superior to his current gear. Moreover, the guild warehouse was filled with a wide variety of items, including many unique and rare treasures. After finishing his search in the guild warehouse, he could also head to the auction house.
Three years without logging on meant that the equipment had not changed, but his wealth had grown significantly. The amount of gold available for withdrawal from Star Pharmacy alone had reached ten digits, enough to shock anyone.
Nie Yan started rummaging through the guild warehouse. There were indeed many good items, but generally speaking, he was not impressed by ordinary items. He directly scrolled to the special items section. The Niuren Tribe had collected hundreds of thousands of unknown special items, spanning over thirty pages, which was truly astonishing.
All kinds of unknown items were displayed before him, and he began searching through them, hoping to find something that interested him.
Facing all these items was indeed overwhelming when suddenly something caught his eye.
Solid Earth Pearl: Special Item.
Item Attributes: +50 Earth Magic Resistance, +20% Earth Magic Amplification. It also comes with the skill Earth’s Power. Earth’s Power: After using this skill, you will possess the power of the Solid Earth Pearl, making you immune to Earth-type damage. Duration: 30 seconds. Cooldown Time: 20 minutes.
Restriction: Cannot be used by Dark-aligned beings.
This item immediately reminded Nie Yan of the Melted Heart of Fire and Frostball in his possession. It seemed these items were part of the same series.
Nie Yan took the Solid Earth Pearl and immediately began searching for other items in this series. Soon, he found two more: Aqua-Avoiding Gold and Adept’s Stone.
Melted Heart of Fire, Frostball, Solid Earth Pearl, Aqua-Avoiding Gold, and Adept’s Stone—five gemstones the size of pigeon eggs, each displaying a different color, shimmered together in Nie Yan’s right hand. He wondered if there were more items in this series and what the combined effect of these items might be.
Nie Yan was puzzled again. These items were indeed part of the same series, but they might just be five different kinds of accessories.
Items like the Melted Heart of Fire offered 50 resistance points, which was decent but no longer considered top-tier. The skills attached to them were somewhat useful, but they required time to cast. Skills like Earth’s Power and Melted Heart of Fire were practically useless in player duels. When facing a mage, how would you know when they would use fire magic or earth magic? Sometimes they might even use mixed magic.
As he was thinking, Nie Yan suddenly had an idea—what if he put all five items into the Pandora’s Box for synthesis?
It was a good idea, though he didn’t know if it would work. Without the correct synthesis formula, these five items might be ruined.
But considering that items like the Melted Heart of Fire weren’t that valuable, he could afford to lose them.
With that thought, he placed the five gemstones into the Pandora’s Box.
The five gemstones gleamed brightly, emitting dazzling light.
System: Are you sure you want to synthesize?
Yes!
A blinding beam of light suddenly illuminated, almost blinding Nie Yan.
Nie Yan quickly shut his eyes. He could almost feel five completely different forces constantly transforming before finally colliding, unleashing intense heat.
It was probably going to be destroyed, Nie Yan thought. He wasn’t holding out much hope, as he had never obtained such a synthesis formula before. Synthesizing items in the Pandora’s Box had strict requirements; you couldn’t just randomly combine items. Nie Yan had once tried combining several low-grade gemstones, but nothing came out, and all the gemstones shattered.
This time was just an experiment. He didn’t know if it would succeed.
The intense heat lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding. Then, a crisp system prompt sounded.
Nie Yan’s heart stirred—this was the sound of a successful synthesis! If it had failed, the system prompt wouldn’t have been so crisp.
Nie Yan quickly looked inside the Pandora’s Box. A multicolored gemstone had appeared. It was the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear and translucent, with five-colored lights constantly flickering across its surface. At times, it emitted scorching flame energy, while at others, it transformed into white frost, continuously shifting.
This gemstone looked extraordinary. Nie Yan wondered what its attributes were.
He checked its properties.
Philosopher’s Stone: Special Item.
Item Attributes: +500 All Magic Resistance, +50% All Magic Amplification. Comes with the skill Sage’s Insight, a passive skill that significantly reduces damage from magic attacks and has a 20% chance to completely negate them.
Restriction: Cannot be used by Dark-aligned beings.
Even by current standards, a +500 All Magic Resistance was among the best. The skills like Melted Heart of Fire and Earth’s Power had disappeared, replaced by the Sage’s Insight skill, which significantly reduced damage from magic attacks and had a 20% chance to completely negate them. This item was a top-tier accessory.
Nie Yan placed the Philosopher’s Stone into his accessory slot. For a powerful player, having good accessories was also very important. Each accessory slot should be fully utilized.
Many items in his accessory slots needed to be replaced. This time, he could go out and find some better items to reforge his equipment.
He continued searching through the guild warehouse. Seeing the abundance of items available, Nie Yan couldn’t help but marvel. The changes over the past three years were indeed significant. The guild warehouse had acquired so many special items, many of which were even better than what he currently had. It was evident how much the players of Niuren Tribe had improved during this time!
Suddenly, Nie Yan spotted something and his body trembled—it was them!
He saw three gemstones: Light Inheritance, Darkness Inheritance, and Fire Inheritance. They were probably obtained by some players from Niuren Tribe who didn’t know their use and had placed them in the guild warehouse.
The Shadow of Darkness contained instructions on how to obtain the Abak Set. Following the clues, Nie Yan had gone through great lengths to find all the components of the Abak Set, forming a complete set. Later, he obtained the Shadow of Light, which described how to obtain the five Inheritance Gemstones used to enhance the Abak Set. This indicated that the Abak Set could undergo further evolution!
Although the Abak Set was a legendary set of level 180 and still decent by current standards, it had fallen somewhat behind some of the top-tier equipment. Nie Yan wondered what level it could reach after being enhanced with the Inheritance Gemstones.
Thinking of this, Nie Yan collected the three Inheritance Gemstones.
He now had Light Inheritance, Darkness Inheritance, and Fire Inheritance. Two more remained: Life Inheritance and Adept Inheritance.
After acquiring the three Inheritance Gemstones, Nie Yan received two task prompts.
System: The Life Inheritance Gemstone has been stolen by the Chaos Warden of the End Times Canyon. Punish this despicable thief—it is your honor. May the gods bless you.
System: The Adept Inheritance Gemstone has been lost in the Sinful Mire of the Underworld. It is filled with danger. Fearless warrior, embark on your journey and reclaim it!
The other two Inheritance Gemstones also had clues now. Nie Yan wondered what changes would occur to the Abak Set once all the Inheritance Gemstones were collected.
