Chapter 685: Super Qilin Stone (1/2)

Resurrection Art granted me a 30% chance to revive on death, and even if it didn’t trigger, I could still forcefully revive myself at the cost of 1 level. It was a much more tolerable price, and it made sense that death must have a penalty. Also, the item penalty when dying was removed, meaning that I wouldn’t drop any equipment no matter how many times I died. Now that, was seriously incredible.

Moreover, my attack power was increased by 10% per death, and there was no cap on the increase. If I died 25 times in a row, my attack power would be increased by 250%! How amazing was that?

Of course, losing levels to increase attack power was still a pretty terrible trade-off. The ideal scenario was still to murder the shit out of my enemies without losing any level.

Despite its flaws, I still adored this Resurrection Art. I had always been fond of Daredevil Third Brother skills like this, and I knew full well that sometimes there was no such thing as absolute power, only giving it your all and hoping for the best. The fruits of such labor were usually some of the sweetest as well.

……

Still holding my arm, Xinran asked me smilingly, “This Resurrection Art isn’t bad, right big brother?”

“Yes, it’s very good!” I smiled back.

“In that case, I’m going back to the God Domain ruins now!”

“Okay…”

I reluctantly bade Xinran goodbye and watched her summon the Winged Silver Dragon and fly away. Then, I looked at Rinser and realized that the old fellow was shooting me unfriendly looks.

I was still no match for Rinser right now, so I quickly crushed a return scroll and teleported away to safety!

Swhoosh!

After I appeared at Sky City, I checked the time and noted that it was 2 pm in the afternoon. My stomach was growling in hunger, so I logged out of the game and chowed down the high-quality boxed lunch I had asked the girls to buy for me earlier. After lunch, I immediately went back into the game and continued the good fight. It was time to refine some Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potions, and the more the better considering how valuable they were!

Ice Dragon Ridge was now gone. I would have to find harder maps if I wished to gather more Divine Dayflowers. The good news was that I had already gathered a ton before I ran into the ice dragon, and they should last me a very long time.

Standing on the eastern plaza of Sky City, I opened my palm and summoned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. It was time to embed a certain gem into my Level 150 Earth Rank mount, haha!

Ding~!

System Notice: You have successfully embedded the Qilin Stone into your mount, ”Armored Ice Qilin Horse”!

I quickly brought up the mount’s stats. The stat changes were absolutely massive—

Stamina: +820

Attack Increase: +45%

Defense Increase: +40%

Embed Attribute (Qilin Stone): Max HP increased by 20000, attack power increased by 25%, defense power increased by 20%, mount tenacity increased by 120%, and resistances greatly increased.

……

Once again, this Qilin Stone was seriously amazing. Not only did it increase max HP by 20000, it also increased mount tenacity by 120% and resistances to mount-damaging skills such as Mountain Stagger Arrow by 75%. With the Armored Ice Qilin Horse’s new stats, I could charge an entire army alone and no longer fear being demounted by any archer or mage.

Even a top-tier archer like Beiming Xue would have to spend five whole minutes shooting me with Mountain Stagger Arrow to knock me off my mount. By then, she would have been long dead already.

Tsk tsk, the trip to Ice Dragon Ridge was truly a rewarding one. This Qilin Stone I got from the ice dragon’s anus especially was even more valuable than I had anticipated at the beginning!
