Lord of the Earth

Chapter 79 The First Transformation Treasure Chest

【Would you like to perform 'Turn into Gold' on the 'Rare Copper Treasure Chest (Metamorphosis)'? 】

[Note: Since the rules of heaven and earth are not yet perfect at the current stage, the upgrade of mortal-level items by consuming luck will tend to improve their "characteristics, craftsmanship" rather than "materials, power".】

When Xia Tian took out his first "Transformation Treasure Box" from the lord's space, the option of turning stone into gold appeared.

But at the same time, the will of the earth unexpectedly gave an additional reminder.

"Characteristics and craftsmanship, materials and power?"

This information is not difficult to understand.

Because the "Secondary Fusion" has just been completed, the rules of heaven and earth at the metamorphic level have not yet been fully determined.

As a result, those original practitioners in other worlds were also pushed down to the low level of transformation after entering the eternal land.

And for the same reason, even if the golden treasure box is opened, it is impossible to obtain super props that can directly correspond to the "ninth stage of metamorphosis" creatures, or obtain high-level materials equivalent to nine transformations.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the "Tianshichengjin" talent is useless.

Because all metamorphic items will have certain "extraordinary characteristics", the characteristics of a golden object are definitely much stronger than those of white.

Except for "features", though.

There may also be a strengthening direction for items using "Tianshichengjin" which is the "craft" level.

For example, he opened the box for the first time to get the "Warring States Noble Bronze Sword". quality!
"That's why strengthening the treasure chest now is more of a test of 'character'. If the golden item that is opened is rated as gold because of the 'characteristic', it is a good deal. If it is 'craft', it may lose money."

Xia Tian was thoughtful.

In fact, there is a way to avoid "losing money", that is, do not touch the treasure chest, but open it directly first.

Then try to strengthen each of the opened items separately, so that the first time you can strengthen it, you can determine whether the item is strengthened by "craft" or "characteristic".

"However, there are also disadvantages in doing so, that is, some things cannot be opened in low-level boxes, such as 'Wonderful Items'."

"The most important thing is that I have a bit of a talent for turning stones into gold. It always feels like something is missing if I don't open the golden box!"

Xia Tian murmured.

Immediately, "320" points of luck were consumed, and the treasure chest in hand was upgraded to "Silver Treasure Chest (Shadow)", and "640" points of luck were consumed to be upgraded to "Golden Treasure Box (Shadow)".

Thanks to the killing of a large number of bone undead and gnolls, the luck value that was originally stretched has become abundant again.

"Moreover, the consumption of the power of luck has not increased much compared to the ordinary level."

Spending less than 1000 points, Xia Tian was quite satisfied in his heart.

Although it has increased compared to the mortal treasure chest, it is not too outrageous!
Of course, it is estimated that it is also because it has just started.

In the future, as the laws of heaven and earth determine that the items that can be opened in the treasure chest are higher in metamorphosis, the corresponding "turning stone into gold" will consume more and more power of luck!

"So, while it's still cheap, it's definitely not a bad thing to open more gold boxes."

Summer comforted himself.

Well, he had to admit that it was because of the sense of anticipation that he was destined to get gold when he opened the highest-level box that he couldn't give up.

"Turn on!"

This time, two brilliant golden lights appeared in the field of vision.

[Obtained: Dragon Boat (Gold), Thunderbolt Bow (Gold), Water Talisman·10 (Green), Spirit Stone·20 (White)]

"Hey, double gold? This wave is definitely a big profit!"

Xia Tian suddenly showed joy.

It's like playing a certain game back then, producing double yolk eggs ten times in a row, using up the European energy of a lifetime!
Two mortal-level golden items.

The first one turned out to be a boat more than ten meters long, decorated with a lot of gold and white jade on the surface, with a magnificent shape, which made people feel luxurious and noble at a glance.

【Dragon Boat (Gold)】

[Level] Transformation

[Characteristics] Fubo (very stable on the water surface, able to suppress the invasion of hurricane waves)
[Description] It is built with the keel of a dragon as the core, and ordinary aquatic creatures will not dare to approach it.And the whole body is finely polished with master-level skills, magnificent and magnificent, and can drive water at high speed with the help of spirit stones!
And the second golden item.

It is a war bow with a very strange shape and a pitch-black material, only the bow body but no bowstring.

【Lightning Bow (Gold)】

[Level] Transformation

[Characteristics] Thunder Arrow (can withstand the power of thunder, and transform the power of thunder into the arrow in large quantities)

[Description] A war bow made of lightning strike wood requires spiritual power or abnormal power with the attribute of thunder to be used...Because the power of thunder is huge, every time it is used, it will cause certain damage to the arrow. Arrows will be destroyed directly).

[Remarks] This item is quite special. If it is used in thunderstorms, there is a risk of causing lightning.

"Good guy, are you sure?"

After Xia Tian saw the attributes of the second golden item, he was astonished.

This is the first time he has seen equipment with such a strong negative effect, not only will it destroy the arrow when shooting, it even has the risk of being struck by lightning.

"This thing, most people don't dare to use it at all."

"However, I can think about it. My power itself is the 'power of thunder', which can be improved by absorbing and exploring the same type of power in the 'Land of Eternity'...It is not necessarily a bad thing to be struck by lightning!"

Xia Tian took back the bow in the hand to the lord space.

Although "Dragon Boat" has a golden name, it obviously has a little water in it. It belongs to the kind of items that are relatively flashy and rely more on craftsmanship to become golden.

But this "Lightning Bow" is truly the top equipment at the current stage.

With this Bow of Transformation, I can fully exert the effects of "Piercing Clouds and Cracking Stone Arrows" and my own superpowers, even if I face silver-level alien heroes, I will not be afraid at all, and may even gain the upper hand.

After all, the different power itself belongs to the power of the golden heroes!
Then, Xia Tian's eyes fell on the remaining two items.

Ten green quality "Water Treading Talismans" have the effect of allowing people to walk on water for a certain period of time, but each talisman paper can only be used once.

The spirit stone is the product of the fusion of heaven and earth.

The previous rain of spiritual energy filled the entire world with abundant spiritual energy.

But with the passage of time, today's aura has gradually become thinner, and the speed of cultivation by absorbing the spiritual energy in the air alone will be very slow.

Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to obtain additional spiritual power supplements.

Among them, the most direct way is to devour food that contains spiritual power, including the meat of mortal beasts, or some spiritual fruits that absorb spiritual energy that were born after the fusion of heaven and earth.

In addition, it is to look for the "spiritual stones" and "spiritual veins" that were condensed after the rain of spiritual energy fell into the ground.

Because spirit stones not only provide cultivation, but more importantly, many artifacts of the mortal level also need to be powered by "spirit stones", such as the golden quality "Dragon Boat" he just obtained.

It can be said that the pursuit of the spirit stone veins will become the target of many races and forces, and whoever can capture it first will gain the advantage of increasing their strength!
Of course, for human lords, being able to get spirit stones directly from the treasure chest is much better than many alien races from other worlds.

"Although the medicine for curing fire poison I wanted was not prescribed from the treasure chest."

"But the 'Dragon Boat' and the 'Water Talisman' among the four items are all related to water. Is it the will of the earth that reminds us that we need to go to places related to water to find a solution?"

Afterwards, Xia Tian pondered.

After the second fusion of heaven and earth, the surrounding environment has undergone tremendous changes.

I don't know if some areas with water have been added in summer.

But he knew that the river near the territory must be used for boats.

Because of the fusion, that river is now only one mile away from the edge of his territory, and even through the dense forest, the sparkling light on the water surface can be vaguely seen.

"I just don't know the solution. It's some kind of spiritual thing that grows in water and can cure fire poison. It's a person who has a way to relieve fire poison!"

In Xia Tian's heart, of course is more looking forward to the latter.

After all, if he guessed correctly, the doctor who can come to his territory is most likely to be the top potential golden hero he is looking forward to, Hua Tuo!
……

"Are you really Hua Tuo? The genius doctor Hua Tuo!"

At the same time, in a hidden jungle on the other side of the river.

The sloppy swordsman who said "you need to pay more" before is looking suspiciously at the old man carrying the medicine basket on the opposite side!
"This old man is indeed Hua Tuo. I don't dare to be called a miracle doctor. I can only say that he has some medical skills."

"You want to chop off my arm, is this just a bit of medical skills?"

The sloppy swordsman pointed to his purple-black arm, which was swollen to the size of his thigh, and looked at the old man carrying a medicine basket who called himself "Hua Tuo" with a very unfriendly expression.

The process must start from the meeting between the two before.

Not long ago, with a physique that reached the limit of the ninth-level human body and a scarred seedling knife, the sloppy swordsman won the final victory even in the face of ten mortal-level seventh-level scorpions.

But immediately after, his face changed color.

Because, a scorpion man who was much taller than ordinary scorpion men, with a dark purple armor-like carapace on the surface, appeared, holding a two-meter-long pitch-black saber in his hand, and slashed at him. come over.

This is an extremely powerful alien race, even stronger than him who has reached the limit of human beings.

In just the first fight, the already dilapidated Miao Dao was cut to the ground by the pitch-black saber in the opponent's hand.

If he hadn't reacted so quickly and retreated, he would have been cut in half by the opponent with a knife!

"Be careful, it's a foreign race who has broken through the limit and entered the stage of 'transformation'!"

Even when he was hunted down before, the old man with a relaxed expression suddenly became serious.

At the same time, he took out a large bag of unknown medicine powder from his medicine basket, and threw it towards the purple scorpion who was about to further chase and kill the sloppy swordsman.

"Humph……"

As a powerhouse at the mortal level, the purple scorpion reacted very quickly, splitting the flying medicine bag with a backhand in the air.

Bang.

But right away, a large piece of powder spilled out of the exploded medicine bag hit him head and face, followed by the purple scorpion man's originally fierce movements, which suddenly became a little slow and uncoordinated.

"This packet of Fanji Mafeisan can only affect him for a while, hurry up, and attack the vital three inches above his abdomen with all our strength!"

The medicine basket old man shouted.

As a master who can survive in the wild for seven days alone, the sloppy swordsman will naturally not miss the opportunity to fight.

The half seedling knife left in his hand, under the blessing of the limit of human body strength, tried his best to slash at the part mentioned by the old man with medicine basket.

"Chong!"

The sound of the blade breaking through the carapace with difficulty, accompanied by the purple scorpion man's purple blood splashing everywhere.

However, at the same moment when the scruffy swordsman's broken knife hit the target, the purple scorpion also forcibly broke away from part of the influence of "Mabosan", and a layer of black light appeared on the tail with a one-foot-long poisonous needle It also pierced his arm at the same time, piercing even the bones!

Of course, after the key point was penetrated, the other party immediately stopped moving.

But the sloppy swordsman's arm, which was stabbed by the purple scorpion's tail needle, also swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a terrifying purple-black in an instant.

Fortunately, there is a doctor by my side.

The old man in the medicine basket immediately took out a pair of silver needles, and after just a few needles, the spreading toxin was sealed.

"However, the poisonous needle of this degenerate scorpion alien pierced your bone, so that the toxin invaded the bone marrow. The old man cannot pull it out with this silver needle alone, it can only suppress the blood on your arm. Toxicity prevents spread."

It's just that what the elder medicine basket said next made him frown unavoidably.

"Is there no way to completely treat it?"

Ding Xiu's face sank.

As a top swordsman living in the late Ming Dynasty, he has seen too much life and death.

Because the only junior brother died, he didn't care much about the original world. Being able to enter this eternal place is a blessing or a curse for him!
But now, he has a new pursuit in his heart, and he wants to see the transformation, and even the scenery at a higher place. If he loses one arm now, the road ahead will be difficult.

"Yes, I can cut off your poisoned arm and replace it with the arm of this mortal-level demon scorpion. In this way, not only will your strength not decrease, but you will also be able to improve!"

The old man in the medicine basket said immediately.

"Heh, are you kidding me?"

"Hey, I'm really not kidding. Maybe, I should report my family name first. Hua Tuo, a native of Peiguoqiao County..."

If someone else said that directly, Ding Xiu probably wouldn't believe it.

But when he heard the other party claiming to be "Hua Tuo", Ding Xiu immediately believed it.

After all, apart from the miracle doctor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who tried to open Cao Cao's skull, which doctor would use this kind of treatment method of beheading and changing hands?

"Actually, you don't need to worry about the failure of changing hands."

"I have tried to join the limbs of different creatures before, but it seems to have a special repelling ability, not only can't cure diseases, but can cause diseases."

"However, compared to our original world, this eternal land does have a lot more mysteries. The old man discovered that a kind of 'extraordinary power' that appeared on his body can eliminate the repulsion between different creatures, and even replace blood and organs. It can make you transform directly. This is much easier than relying on self-cultivation to break through, strong man, don’t you really think about it?”

Hua Tuo had a look of hope on his face.

"I still don't want it anymore. I would rather lose a hand than change the arm of this monster."

"By the way, why on earth are you going to dissect the corpse of this scorpion monster? Don't tell me it's just because of an itchy hand!"

Ding Xiu shook his head, and then asked the old man in front of him with a deep tone.

"In fact, when I saw the group of scorpionmen, they had just killed a group of humans. They cut out the hearts of men, women, children and children alive, saying that they wanted to sacrifice to their 'gods'!"

"The old man couldn't help it, so he used Mabosan to knock them all down. Then, in front of them, he disemboweled a scorpion man in the same way, and fed his heart to a wild man passing by. dog……"

Ding Xiu, who had killed many people, was taken aback by Hua Tuo's answer.

The old man in front of him gave him a sense of immortality, and even spoke a bit humorously.

His identity is even more of a famous doctor with skillful hands and a benevolent heart. He did not expect to kill people because of anger, even in the "bloody" way of retaliation!

"It's a pity that the potency of Mabosan prepared with mortal medicinal materials is still too weak, and this kind of scorpion is very resistant to Mabosan, and the body is too hard, so I only cut off one of them, and the rest Woke up...fortunately, strong man, you killed them all."

"Well, since the strong man is not willing to change hands."

"Then, we must find a safe place to stay as soon as possible. I can prepare medicine to remove the poison in the flesh and blood of your arm, and then find another way to remove the poison that penetrates deep into the bone marrow..."

Afterwards, Hua Tuo said again.

"Actually, I do know of a 'Sanctuary', just across the river."

Ding Xiu covered his arms, and turned his head to look at the place on the other side of the river where the "star" was hung to represent the human territory.

However, it may be very difficult to cross this river now.

Because in the river whose width has exceeded a kilometer after the flow surge, apart from some huge and hideous underwater monsters, there are also alien races similar to the scorpion race just now!
He who was crippled by one hand and Hua Tuo who didn't have much fighting ability could not cross this river at all.

Could it be that we can only change the direction and look for another "human race, sanctuary"?
"Well, look, there is a boat on the other side of the river, and there seem to be people on it!"

Just as the two of them observed for a while, and were helplessly ready to give up, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Finally found you, the murderer who killed my brother and his clansmen. Unexpectedly, it was just two lowly humans!"

However, just as they saw the ship, a voice (common language) sounded behind them at the same time.

A large group of scorpionmen wearing black armor and dangling poisonous needles on their tails emerged from three sides, besieging them by the river.

And a purple scorpion at the mortal level stared at the two with extreme killing intent.

Especially the dark saber of the purple scorpion that Ding Xiu picked up after the weapon was broken during the battle!
