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

Congratulations on reaching level 15!

I'm level 15 now, and I can wear a lot of equipment.

Lin Mu let out a long breath and immediately took out the Crescent Moon Sword. Its Taoist skill level was 1-3. After equipping it, his Taoist skill level reached exactly 24, and the requirement for wearing the Mind Bracelet was 24 Taoist skill points.

He then put on his cloth shoes and animal skin belt, and immediately felt much lighter on his feet. He also had several leather buckles on his waist, which he could use to hang things.

He rummaged through his storage bag and pulled out several bottles of potions, then found the random teleportation scroll that Old Master Qin had given him, and fastened them one by one to his belt. There were exactly six leather buckles, three on the left and three on the right. He fastened them in order from left to right: Sun Water, Potent Sun Water, Eternal Snow Frost, Medium-Grade Healing Medicine, Medium-Grade Magic Potion, and the Random Teleportation Scroll.

[Eternal Snow Frost instantly restores 160 health and 160 mana.]

After he stopped playing with it, he reached out and touched it; it felt very comfortable.

However, no one else can see or touch the medicine and scrolls he carries on his waist; only he himself can sense them.

Now I feel much more confident when I'm fighting with someone.

After changing everything, Lin Mu glanced at his attributes.

Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction and continued grinding monsters.

After another ten hours of grinding, just as his experience bar was about to reach level sixteen, footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the passage. Lin Mu looked up alertly, his hand already touching the medicinal powder.

Over the past few days, he has developed a habit of being on guard at the slightest disturbance, although most of the time, passersby only glance at him and then walk away.

Chapter 41 Giving Away Equipment

The footsteps grew closer, the torchlight flickered, and three figures emerged from around the corner.

"Brother Lin!"

It turned out to be Shi Tou, A Mu, and A Shui. The three of them were covered in dirt and grime, their clothes stained with mud and blood, looking even more disheveled than him.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Mu put away the medicine powder.

Stone walked over with a wry smile and plopped down on the ground next to him: "Don't even mention it. Those guys in the guild think we're too low-level, that we're a burden when it comes to sharing experience, and that we have to run errands to buy supplies. We even have to watch over them when we're resting."

Amu sat down as well, his face not looking too good: "They said they would help us level up, but they just used us as servants."

Ah Shui squatted in the corner, head down, not saying a word, her eyes a little red.

Stone got angrier and angrier as he spoke: "It's one thing to complain about our low level, but we also complain about our poor equipment. We say our damage output is too low and we get in the way when fighting monsters."

Lin Mu glanced at them and asked, "What equipment do you have now?"

Shi Tou scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I'm still using the ordinary Eight Desolations, and Amu's Half Moon is also an ordinary one. Ashui's Sea Soul is a second-hand one that he bought from someone else."

Amu lowered his head and added, "My Taoist skills are only a few points. When I use Poisoning Technique, the poison disappears after a while. It wastes a lot of potion powder and the output is low. I basically rely on my teammates to fight monsters."

Lin Mu nodded without saying anything. He rummaged through his Qiankun bag, taking out the small, top-quality items he had previously taken from those people one by one.

"These are for you."

The group looked at the stone.

[Shura: Attack 0-24, Accuracy +1, Strength +1, Requires Level 22]

……

He also gave away two Woma items that he didn't need himself, as well as some +1 and +2 minor rare items, such as a +1 skull ring and a +2 snake eye ring.

As for why he gave them this equipment, Lin Mu wanted to develop his own team. He couldn't wear the pearl ring right now; he wanted to go straight for the platinum ring. After all, the first Woma Guardian dropped a top-tier platinum ring, and he was getting a little cocky, feeling his luck had improved.

Stone's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother Lin, this...this is far too valuable...this Asura's attributes are almost on par with Purgatory's, and there are these too..."

Amu squatted on the ground, examining each item one by one, his hands trembling: "This equipment is probably worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins..."

Ah Shui picked up the Death Glove and examined it several times. She whispered, "This glove is too valuable..." As she spoke, her eyes reddened again, and she pushed the item back, "Brother Lin, we really can't accept this."

Shi Tou also came to his senses and pushed the equipment toward Lin Mu: "Yes, yes, this is too valuable. You've helped us so much, we can't take any more."

Lin Mu frowned: "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Everyone has their own talents, and even if you spend all your money, it will come back again'? You can always get the best equipment eventually. Take this equipment, it's not of much use to me."

Upon hearing these two lines of poetry, Ah Shui's eyes lit up instantly, and her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to savor every word. Looking at Lin Mu, her gaze held not only gratitude but also a shimmering light, like admiration, or something else entirely.

As for Shi Tou and A Mu, they also thought it sounded good, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why. They just felt that Brother Lin's speech was sophisticated.

"But..." Stone wanted to say something more.

"Take it." Lin Mu pushed the items back. "Don't refuse. This is enough for you until level 25, so people won't say your equipment is bad anymore."

Shi Tou opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Amu tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, Brother Lin's kindness is heartfelt..."

Shi Tou glanced at A Mu, then at A Shui.

Shi Tou gritted his teeth, packed up the items one by one, stood up, and bowed deeply to Lin Mu: "Brother Lin, we are deeply grateful. If there is anything we three siblings can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Amu and Ashui also stood up and bowed to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu waved his hand: "Alright, alright, sit down and talk."

He glanced at the three of them and added, "By the way, be careful with these equipment, especially this Shura. Don't reveal its attributes to outsiders. If someone sees it, just say it's ordinary. This thing is too conspicuous. If someone targets you, you won't be able to handle it now."

Shi Tou was taken aback. He looked down at the Shura in his hand, his expression changed, and he nodded solemnly: "Brother Lin, don't worry, we've got it."

Amu and Ashui nodded in agreement.

Stone carefully stored the equipment deep inside his Qiankun bag, sat down, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Lin, why are you here alone? Haven't you joined a guild?"

Lin Mu shook his head: "No, I've always been alone."

Stone and Amu exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised: "Leveling up alone is so difficult. There are more people in the guild, so you can look out for each other, and things are cheaper. Plus, the guild channel allows for long-distance communication, so you get any news immediately. Good items are traded within the guild; the ones sold at stalls outside are just leftovers..."

Speaking of this, Stone suddenly realized something. The equipment Lin Mu had given them earlier—the Sharpur Bracelet with +2 attack, the Shura with +24 attack, the medium armor with +2 attack… any one of these items was something their guild leader didn’t have.

Stone opened his mouth, scratched his head awkwardly, and didn't say anything more.

Lin Mu listened thoughtfully. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Is your guild still recruiting?"

Stone scratched his head: "We do accept them, but... our guild isn't very good. The guild leader is only level 24. With your skills, Brother Lin, it would be a waste for you to go there."

Lin Mu waved his hand: "I was just asking." He paused, "I need to ask you a favor. Please keep an eye on two things for me in the future."

"what?"

"Blessing oil, and a necklace to bring good luck."

Stone nodded: "Okay, I've got it."

Ah Shui asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, how can I contact you then?"

Lin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Just come to the Qin residence in Bichon City to find me. If I'm not there, find a maid named Chunxing; she will tell me."

Shi Tou paused for a moment, as did Amu, and A Shui looked up, her eyes full of confusion. "Surname Lin, what are you doing at the Qin residence?" But none of the three asked. Shi Tou simply nodded and said, "Okay, we'll remember."

Lin Mu then asked, "How did you level up in the first place? Tell me about it!"
