Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

The third item is a large, heavy black iron machete with a blade as thick as a board and a red cloth tied to the top with an iron ring, exuding a rugged and domineering aura.

Lin Mu used both hands to lift it off the ground.

[Dragon Slayer, Attack 5-42, Requires Level 34]

It has 7 more attack points, making it an excellent item.

In the game, everyone upgrades the main attributes of their weapons, but Lin Mu discovered that here, defeating bosses would directly drop weapons with +7 attributes.

Can Shabak upgrade such a weapon further? If so, how many upgrades are possible? Lin Mu thought about it but couldn't figure it out. He put the Dragon Slayer away and planned to try it out when he went to Mengzhong in the future.

The fourth item is an irregularly shaped, dark red, translucent crystal about the size of a palm. Its surface has a blood-red sheen, like congealed blood, with embedded luminescence and rounded edges.

Lin Mu held it in his hand and could feel a warm force pulsating in his palm.

[Supreme Demon Bloodstone (Small): Restores 1 point of health and 1 point of mana per second; increases the healing effect of potions by 100%]

Lin Mu immediately took off the large Demon Blood Stone that Jiang Mansion had compensated him with and replaced it with the small Supreme Demon Blood Stone.

He looked at the message "[Medicine recovery effect increased by 100%]" thoughtfully, and prepared to spend some mana to test the medicine's recovery effect.

He raised the dragon-patterned sword and, with a thought, "summon the divine beast."

[MP: 350/350 → 322/350]

Five protective talismans flew out from Lin Mu's waist and spun rapidly around him, completing two circles in an instant, creating a whooshing sound.

Then the edges of the amulet began to glow, changing from golden yellow to orange-red, then from orange-red to dark red, and then suddenly burst into flames, the flames enveloping the amulet paper, and within a few breaths it was burned to ashes.

Then the ashes scattered in the wind, and nothing appeared.

As expected, the skeleton is still there, and the divine beast cannot be summoned.

He tried again. He raised the dragon-patterned sword, and with a thought, "Summon the divine beast."

[MP: 323/350 → 295/350]

Five protective talismans flew out from his waist again, spinning around Lin Mu, this time spinning faster and making a louder sound.

Suddenly, the skeleton, which had been standing motionless on the small bridge over the pool, trembled violently. Its bones cracked, and the flames in its eye sockets contracted sharply before suddenly blazing brighter, burning even more intensely than before. The flames leaped out of its eye sockets like two tiny torches.

Lin Mu also felt a jolt of electricity, a "snap" in his mind, as if something had broken off, or as if something had been reconnected. A buzzing sound vibrated back and forth in his mind.

He was momentarily dazed, but the ashes from the burning and decomposition of the five talismans did not scatter. Instead, they spun, condensed, and expanded in the air, transforming into a ball of orange-red light.

As the light faded, a divine beast lay sprawled on the ground, its limbs spread out, the flames on its two small horns flickering, and its tail swaying gently behind it, looking like a dog.

Lin Mu was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

He turned to look at the skeleton, which was still standing motionless in front of the tree spirit with its head down. However, its skeleton was trembling slightly, and its joints were making cracking noises, as if it was adapting to something.

Looking down at the mythical beast again, it was indeed there, not an illusion.

The mythical beast raised its head, looked at Lin Mu, and stuck out its tongue.

Chapter 202 The Supreme Demon Blood Stone, the Vanished Map

Lin Mu shook his head and tried again. With a thought, he summoned a divine beast.

[MP: 299/350 → 271/350]

Five protective talismans flew out, spun, and burned. The divine beast in front of them decomposed into ashes, then reformed in the air. It was still the same divine beast, lying on the ground, with flames flickering on its two small horns.

He turned to look at the skeleton again, and it was still there.

Skeletons and mythical beasts do exist; they are not illusions.

Lin Mu shook his head. Forget it, now is not the time to study this. Let's focus on what's in front of us.

He pulled out a small bottle of magic potion and gulped it down. The blue liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, and numbers started jumping above his head.

+2, +2, +2...

It's not one point per second anymore, it's two points per second. The recovery effect disappears after 15 seconds.

[Small Magic Potion: Slowly restores 30 magic points]

It only restored 30 points of magic before it stopped working.

It seems that although the recovery speed has doubled, the total amount of recovery remains the same.

Lin Mu drank another bottle of Sun Water and tried it out, only to find that the Supreme Demon Blood Stone had no effect on the Instant Recovery Potion. Well, that makes sense, since it was meant to restore health instantly.

But for this kind of slow-recovery potion, it's practically a miracle cure.

The fifth item is a thin bracelet with a red and gold color scheme, strung with burgundy beads and gold ornaments. It is small, delicate, and looks quite elegant.

[Holy War Bracelet, Defense 0-4, Attack 2-6, Requires Attack Power 40]

This is a warrior's Crimson Moon level bracelet, which has 3 more points of defense and 3 more points of attack than the ordinary one.

Yes, this is another top-tier item. Lin Mu was numb to it. Having defeated so many bosses, Lin Mu had summarized some patterns: anything dropped by a big boss was bound to be a top-tier item.

The sixth item is a plain jade ring with a warm, emerald-green hue.

Lin Mu picked it up and turned it around. The ring face was smooth and translucent, with a faint green glow.

The ring has no ornamentation or extra metal rim; it is simply a pure jade ring, simple yet elegant.

[Celestial Venerable Ring, Defense 0-2, Magic Defense 0-2, Taoist Magic 2-10, Requires 25 Taoist Magic]

It's top-tier, with 2 extra points of defense, 1 extra point of magic resistance, and 3 extra points of Taoist magic.

Lin Mu immediately took off the Titan Ring of Dao 7 on his left hand and put on the Celestial Venerable Ring.

His Taoist skills improved again, and he felt very pleased with himself.

The seventh item was a necklace with a thin chain strung with blue-purple beads and an oval-shaped dark blue gemstone hanging at the bottom. The necklace was delicate and exquisite, shimmering with a faint blue light.

[God of Magic Necklace, Accuracy +3, Magic 1-12, Requires 28 Magic]

Excellent item! It has 1 point more accuracy and 4 more magic points. Keep it safe.

The eighth item is a pair of short combat boots with a metallic texture featuring gray and white patterns. The boots have subtle patterns on the surface, are thick and sturdy, and have a faint gray sheen.

[Soul-Avoiding Boots, Defense 1-6, Attack 0-2, Magic 0-2, Taoist Magic 0-2, Requires Level 35. Can relieve leg fatigue.]

It has 3 more points of defense than the normal version, and 2 more points each in attack and magic.

Lin Mu looked down at the pair of deerskin boots on his feet and put them on without hesitation.

The boot shafts fit snugly around my ankles, making walking much easier and quieter, like walking on cotton.

He stamped his foot and nodded in satisfaction.

The ninth item was a thick metal belt, dark iron in color, with rivets and patterns, heavy and imposing.

[Steel Belt, Defense 0-5, Magic Defense 0-4, Attack 0-1, Magic 0-1, Taoist Magic 0-1, Requires Level 35. Commonly used medicines or scrolls can be attached to the belt for easy access.]

It adds 2 points to defense and 2 points to magic resistance, and 1 point each to attack and magic.

Lin Mu patted his belt and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he untied the iron belt around his waist, put on this outfit, and clipped the potion and random teleportation scroll to the appropriate positions.

What's left is a bunch of useless +1 or +2 Zuma and Woma equipment.

There are also skill books, potions, and 50 acorns.

Lin Mu picked up an acorn, brown in color, about the size of a thumb, with fine lines on its surface, like a miniature pine cone.

[Acorn, 100000 experience points, requires level 0.]

This is a good item; one is worth 10 experience points, and the usage level is so low. He picked up 50, which is 500 million experience points.

And its level is 0. Lin Mu's lips slowly curled up. The more he thought about it, the more valuable this acorn seemed, far surpassing any Spirit Gathering Pearl of equal experience.

For example, if he sold it to a low-level rich person who was eager to level up, or a wealthy mortal who was a descendant of an awakened being who had accidentally obtained a Grade D talent, he would sell the acorn for 10 experience points for 10 gold coins. He carefully collected the acorns one by one.

After tidying up everything, I had nearly a million gold coins again.

After finishing organizing all this, Lin Mu checked his own condition.

[Level: 36]

Experience: 368137/48000000

HP: 320/320

[MP: 369/369]

……

[Taoist Arts: 15-59]

……

Below that is the skeleton status, and further down, there's another column—the status of mythical beasts.

[Mythical Beast (Rest)]

HP: 100/100

Attack: 20-30

[Defense: 25-25]

[Magic Control: 20-20]

With a thought, Lin Mu caused the divine beast's orange-red body to swell, allowing it to stand up from the ground, its limbs supporting it, and the two flames on its head to burn even brighter.

The health bar in the attribute panel also changed accordingly.

[Mythical Beasts (Battle)]

HP: 300/300

……

It really is a level 0 divine beast, but it can already be of some use.

At least it can handle orc warriors and skeletons from orc tombs without any problems, and with a little training, it can grow even better.

At this moment, Lin Mu looked at the skeleton.

The skeleton, still wearing its equipment, stood there motionless, with the Dragon Slayer at its feet, the dark red light on its blade flickering.
