secret dice.

Chapter 772 The Fury of Thunder

The hunchbacked "Cao Cao" brought a small suitcase. After the proprietress opened it, she took out the treasures one by one, piling them up behind the counter into a small mountain, clearly exceeding the size of the suitcase.

"Found it!" The proprietress picked up something that looked like an official seal and placed it on the table with a smile.

Luo Jun picked it up and swept it with his vital energy.

Name: Noble Phantasm Authentication Seal

Grade: Legendary

Synopsis: A highly skilled weapon refiner challenged a formidable opponent to a contest to see who could create more Noble Phantasms faster. After several attempts, realizing he was no match, he devised a way to create this device, winning the contest through near-cheating.

Unique Function: This treasure was created by chance, and there is only one in the world. There are no copies.

Function Two: Treasure Certification: By stamping, an item can be certified as a Treasure. This will not change the item's basic function, but it will be standardized according to the Treasure Rules, with slight enhancements or restrictions, and will grant the ability to be stored in the Treasure Chest. The specific cost depends on the item's quality and the grade after transformation, with a one-hour cooldown.

Note: It can be transformed into a legendary-level Noble Phantasm, but it is ineffective against items with the potential to become mythical Noble Phantasms.

Function 3: Uncertification: Can turn the Noble Phantasm obtained through stamped certification back into a normal item, restoring it to its original state.

Note: If I say you are a Noble Phantasm, then you are a Noble Phantasm!
........................

Upon seeing this, Luo Jun's eyes lit up. With this, wouldn't it mean that as long as the Treasure Box had enough slots, he could bring things into the other world at will?
"How much is this?" Luo Jun asked excitedly. "I want it! Bring out your scales!"

"Well..." The proprietress smiled broadly, not in a hurry to take out the scales: "Logically speaking, all the transactions here should be priced by the scales... But you see, this has a unique characteristic, as the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable, so it's normal for this one-of-a-kind treasure to have a premium, right?"

"Don't give me that!" Luo Jun immediately pulled out the dice and used them to convince the landlady.

The two pairs of dice spun in my mind, and the final result was a successful judgment.

Having made up his mind, Luo Jun sneered, "The words 'unique' are already written in the features. This characteristic has already been calculated on the scale. Asking for an extra premium is a bit like bullying our old customers, isn't it?"

"You can't say that..." the proprietress said with a bitter face, "These rare items are still very hard to get your hands on..."

"Alright, stop complaining about being broke." Luo Jun waved his hand. "I'll buy a couple more items to support your business, so don't worry about your little markup!"

Hearing him say that, the proprietress finally agreed.

After seeing off the deliveryman, "Brother Cao," she laid out the newly arrived legendary and epic items for Luo Jun to choose from.

Luo Jun first placed the official seal on the scale, then placed two newly acquired legendary equipment pieces on his side, but the scale still tipped in his favor.

"Good heavens, this thing is already worth so much, and you're still asking me for a premium?" Luo Jun said irritably.

"Which merchant would complain about having too much money?" The proprietress rubbed her hands together with a smile. Luo Jun sighed and placed another epic item on the table to finally balance things out.

Next, he browsed through the shop owner's other items and was pleasantly surprised to find a fusion evolution component!
This is a treasure! It can support the fusion of two legendary Noble Phantasms with similar effects to create a more powerful new Noble Phantasm!
For ordinary cultivators, there might not be enough legendary items to fuse with, but Luo Jun has no shortage of high-level treasures. For him, even legendary items are valued for their quality rather than quantity, so he must get this thing!

After adding the fusion evolution component, Luo Jun also added four epic items, finally tilting the scales in his favor.

Are there any other good things?
Luo Jun examined each item one by one, and finally noticed this special treasure.

It's a small medicine bottle, about the size of a palm. When you shake it, you can hear a gurgling sound inside, as if it contains a lot of pills.

Name: Happiness Gum
Grade: Legendary

Introduction: This is a Noble Phantasm created by a mysterious being in an attempt to rediscover the emotions of humanity. The final result was somewhat unexpected, but the creator was quite satisfied.

Unique Function: This treasure was created by chance, and there is only one in the world. There are no copies. It will be permanently lost after it is used up.

Function Two: Happiness. When you take out a piece of gum and chew it, you will feel incredibly happy. But just like the flavor of chewing gum fades as you chew, the feeling of happiness will gradually diminish until it disappears.

Note: Do not chew two or more at once, do not spit them out before the taste disappears, and do not swallow them.

Remaining quantity: 8/60
Note: Have one, you won't be able to stop!

........................

The Happiness Gum, judging from its description alone, should be a magic-type Noble Phantasm that makes people feel happy. It neither increases combat power nor heals injuries, so its practicality is extremely low.

But ironically, this thing is a legend, and it has unique attributes!
Moreover, judging from the remaining quantity, this thing will soon be discontinued!
How happy must one be to earn such a simple special effect legendary status?
Luo Jun noticed it entirely because of this rare attribute.

There are only eight left, and the effect is so ordinary. It shouldn't be expensive, right? I'll get it and keep it as a collectible.

Thinking of this, he picked up the almost empty Happiness Gum and placed it on the scale. The scale tilted to the other side instantly, so fast that it even made a clanging sound.

"Is it that heavy?" Luo Jun was taken aback and blinked.

"I've said it before, things that are unique are very precious..." the proprietress said with a smile.

"How expensive can it be?" Luo Jun tried to put the treasures on his side, one, two, three... He put all four treasures he got from Long Hui on the scales, but the scales did not show any signs of wavering.

"Hey, I don't believe it!" Luo Jun didn't know if he was aroused by his competitive spirit or curiosity, but he picked up the protective talisman and put it on!

This time, the scales finally wavered, but after swaying a few times, they eventually settled back down.

Even adding a protective talisman didn't work?
These are only eight, yet they weigh so much? If there were a complete set of sixty, how many legendary items would they be worth?

Luo Jun was shocked by the price of the Happiness Gum, which made him even more eager to get his hands on it.

The scales don't lie. If they determine that something is so valuable, then there must be a reason why it is valuable!
Thinking of this, Luo Jun gritted his teeth and put the deadly antidote back on.

This was the reward he received in the "Conquer Yourself" mission last time. Although the effect was very suitable for him, it was completely covered by the emergency medicine kit, so he simply took it out and put it up for a higher price!
With the deadly antidote placed on the scales, the balance finally began to tilt in Luo Jun's favor, swaying a few times before almost balancing. This meant the deal was done!

Finally, he got them. Luo Jun spent three legendary items and nine epic items to exchange for two legendary treasures, which is enough to prove the value of these two items.

As for the proprietress, she couldn't stop smiling.

These two unique treasures, though pricey, offered virtually no benefit in boosting combat power. Their high price actually became a burden, easily becoming unsellable inventory. Who would have thought she'd encounter such a "foolish" investor as Luo Jun, who bought both at once, leaving her with only practical, marketable "good stuff"—how could she not be happy!

After saying goodbye to the landlady, Luo Jun returned to the cave in the [Martial World] and sorted out his gains from the trip.

The first thing was the official seal. He took it out and stamped it on the small bottle that the God of Wealth had given him.

According to the information from the official seal, authenticating this item requires consuming over 1,800 breaths of vital energy!
There's so much! Just this amount of energy is enough to give most peak cultivators a hard time. Ordinary cultivators can forget about it; they basically can't gather that much energy.

But for Luo Jun, it was all a piece of cake. He offered his vital energy, and a light shone on the bottle. After it faded, no change could be seen. But when the vital energy swept over it, a clear description of its functions appeared.

Name: Essence Collection Bottle
Grade: Legendary

Introduction: This treasure was specially crafted by a powerful being in order to collect the essence of immortals who have ascended to heaven. After being stamped and certified, it was formed.

Function – Essence Collection: When used on a deceased corpse, it extracts essence, which is then condensed into an essence liquid in a bottle. The closer the corpse's time of death, the more essence can be extracted; after 24 hours, no more essence can be extracted. The energy consumed for extracting essence depends on the amount extracted, and there is no cooldown period.

Note: This treasure can only collect the essence of cultivators at the Feather Transformation level. It is ineffective against cultivators at other levels or other creatures. The collected essence can only be used after being transformed by a secret technique; otherwise, it cannot be used.

Note: This humble monk comes from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on his way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek enlightenment...

........................

Luo Jun was initially pleased to see the treasure take effect, having obtained a treasure that could absorb essence. However, upon examining its function, he nearly fainted from anger.

It can only be used on corpses that have undergone metamorphosis. The collected essence cannot be used without specialized technology... With so many restrictions, it's only good for working for the God of Wealth, right?
With such significant limitations, how did you manage to reach legendary quality?
But on second thought, aren't these restrictions a kind of extraordinary quality? Perhaps it is precisely because of these restrictions that its extraordinary concentration exceeds the standard, reaching the legendary level?
Well, since the transformation was successful, Luo Jun put the bottle into his treasure box. Since becoming a saint, his boundless magnanimity has filled the treasure box with countless slots. Sometimes he even thinks that with this chapter, he might be able to bring a large number of treasures from the other world to the main world all by himself.

With the bottle issue resolved, Luo Jun then took out the fusion evolution component.

When he saw this thing, he thought of a possible combination.

Holding the fusion evolution component, Luo Jun stepped out of the cave, opened the treasure box, and took out the Free Mech and... the Rage Mech!
That's right, Luo Jun wanted to try to fuse these two treasures. They were both humanoid mechs, one being a large, maneuverable mech and the other a human-sized mechanical creature, but overall, they still had something in common.

Luo Jun gave it a try and found that it could actually activate the fusion evolution component!
The fusion evolution component decomposed into a semi-liquid state, enveloping the two Noble Phantasms, and finally fused together, shining with a dazzling light.

Within the light, one could vaguely see the newly fused treasure growing taller and larger, surpassing all the trees and even almost reaching the mountain peaks, while gradually revealing a humanoid form.

Finally, as the light faded, a brand new mecha stood before Luo Jun.

"Wow, it's huge!" Luo Jun looked up at the colossal object before him. "It's more than ten times taller than before!"

That's right. After the fusion, the mecha is over 100 meters tall, almost as big as the ordinary angel mecha that Wu Yingjie and his team had built before that Luo Jun had seen!
"Although it can't compare to the giant mechs that fought against Yu Hua, this size is still outrageous!" Luo Jun couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing it. "Just the fact that it can support such a huge body moving freely means that the material of this behemoth must be of high quality... Speaking of which, how did it grow to such a size? Even with the support of the fusion components, it shouldn't be this big..."

Thinking of this, Luo Jun suddenly widened his eyes: "Could it be..."

He immediately scanned it with his spiritual energy, and the information of the giant mecha appeared before his eyes.

Name: Thunderfury

Grade: Legendary

Description: Composed of two legendary mechanical artifacts, this mech is enhanced and imbued with additional power, providing it with powerful propulsion and a massive size, making it the most terrifying weapon of war!

Once the function is activated: After the user is bound to the master, they can sit in the driver's seat and directly control the Thunder Fury mech through brainwaves. Since Thunder Fury has a strong energy reserve, there is no need to consume additional energy.

Function 2: Self-repair: After the Thunder Fury mech and related accessories are damaged, they will slowly repair themselves over time.

Function Three: Hellfire: When activated, Thunder's Fury is engulfed in raging flames, damaging all who approach, while also providing protection against external damage. It consumes 100 breaths of energy per minute and can be activated and deactivated at any time.

Function 4: Magic Energy: The Thunder Fury Mech's energy core comes from a powerful demon king. It can automatically absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to replenish itself, but in places where spiritual energy is scarce, it also needs additional charging to maintain operation. The maximum storage capacity is 100,000 breaths of primordial energy.

Function 5: Dimensional Equipment: The Thunder Fury Mech can summon its own weapons and equipment to assist in battle through dimensional gates. Each time the dimensional gate is opened, it consumes 100 breaths of energy, with no cooldown.

Function Six: Ferocious God and Demon: When activated, it can cover the entire body with rage and murderous intent, transforming into a giant killing god to fight, using a butcher's knife and grappling hook. The transformation consumes two hundred breaths of vital energy per minute and can be activated and deactivated at any time.

Functionality Module Attachment: This Noble Phantasm can serve as a combat weapon framework, equipping itself with Noble Phantasms possessing corresponding abilities and functions as modules to assist in battle. Currently, it can equip four module interfaces: Perception Module, Strength Module, Speed ​​Module, and Spirit Module.

Current equipment status:

Perception module: True Sight Glasses.

Power module: Not equipped.

Speed ​​module: Not equipped.

Spiritual module: Not equipped.

Function 8: Automatic Combat: In the absence of a pilot, the artificial intelligence onboard the Thunder Fury armor can control the mech to engage in automatic combat.

Note: On that day, humanity remembered once again the fear of being dominated by the wrath of thunder!
