"How about it, Master, after resting for three days and feasting to celebrate obtaining the Map of Mountains and Rivers, are you now ready to properly experience it?"
After Jiang Liu had recorded the corresponding copies designed by Sun Wukong into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Sun Wukong, curious, asked Jiang Liu.
All this way, Jiang Liu had never been lax a single day concerning his cultivation; Sun Wukong had observed this thoroughly.
However, it was precisely because of this that, this ti because of celebrating the acquisition of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the Master actually allowed himself to eat, drink, and rest for a full three days and nights, which filled Sun Wukong's heart with surprise and gave him a deeper appreciation for the importance of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to Jiang Liu.
"Enter, of course, we must enter and properly experience it!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu's face bore a smile as he nodded in agreent.
In his previous life, he had played many online gas, designing several instances, and having recorded them, not only could he properly relive them, but it also added more choices of instances for himself; naturally, Jiang Liu was eager to dive in and experience it.
However, after resting for three days, there were still many work-related tasks that needed to be addressed.
During the conversation, Jiang Liu reached out and took out a beautifully crafted treasure chest, an epic level treasure chest.
Originally, the experience points needed for Jiang Liu to level up were not many, and naturally, upon the revelation of Empress's identity, the quest related to "the truth" was also completed.
The hefty sum of 70 million experience points was credited, instantly elevating Jiang Liu's level to the heights of level 58.
Apart from the 70 million experience points, Jiang Liu naturally also received an epic level treasure chest as a quest reward.
But during these three days, he was indulging himself, neither fighting monsters to level up nor sitting in ditation to cultivate, and he even managed to resist the temptation to open this epic level treasure chest.
Now, as the three days had passed, with a mind full of anticipation, Jiang Liu took the treasure chest out again.
"An epic-level treasure chest, who knows what it will yield!?" Looking at the chest before him, Jiang Liu's heart was filled with expectation.
Equipnt, potions, items, scrolls, and so forth, any of these could potentially erge from the chest, but given the wide variety, Jiang Liu found that the chances of getting equipnt from it were rather slim.
Like the essential oils that he previously obtained, which he had used to enhance Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu slowly lifted the lid of the treasure chest and was montarily stunned, then overjoyed, for inside the chest was a pair of crescent moon white boots.
Since they were boots, they obviously must be epic-level equipnt, right?
Epic-level equipnt, of which he had very few on himself, this ti was rare as he managed to get a piece of equipnt instead of so other type of item.
However, upon seeing the boots, Jiang Liu felt a bit disappointed.
Up to this mont, Jiang Liu's level had already advanced to level 58, yet the Flashing Brilliance Shoes on his feet were still equipnt from when he was level 20, long overdue to be replaced.
It was only because the Blink ability of the Flashing Brilliance Shoes was so valuable to him that, despite encountering many quality boots along the way, Jiang Liu hadn't swapped them out, and he wondered about the attributes of these epic-level boots.
With a heart three parts disappointed yet seven parts hopeful, Jiang Liu took the crescent moon white boots out from the epic-level treasure chest and examined them closely.
Naturally, the corresponding attribute information also appeared before Jiang Liu.
Tiger Charge Boots (Epic-Level): Required Level 60, Defense 14800, Special Effect: Tiger Pounce, enables a burst underfoot, propelling the user forward within a radius of a hundred ters instantly, and inflicting 120% of the user's attack power as damage to the point of impact, cooldown ti 120 seconds, durability 99/100.
"What a treasure!" Seeing the attribute information of the boots, Jiang Liu was both shocked and elated.
Epic-level boots for level 60, because the Black Jade Prayer Beads can lower the level requirent by 5, he could just manage to wear them now, and a defense of 14800 was far superior to the re 400 of the Flashing Brilliance Shoes.
Moreover, the main feature was this Tiger Pounce special effect, which seed even more practical than Blink, not only providing an instant rapid movent capability but also incorporating an attack effect?
"Wow, Master, these boots are so pretty!" Seeing the Tiger Charge Boots Jiang Liu had taken from the epic-level treasure chest, Zhu Bajie by his side lit up, cheekily edging closer.
"Scram! These boots are for my own use!" Jiang Liu, of course, knew Zhu Bajie's intentions, but currently, his level was around 60, so the equipnt that dropped was also within about 5 levels of his own, which did not suit Zhu Bajie.
Ignoring Zhu Bajie's cheeky deanor, Jiang Liu quickly swapped out his long-worn, tattered Flashing Brilliance Shoes for the brand-new Tiger Charge Boots.
With a durability of 100, now at 99 points, these glistening Tiger Charge Boots looked brand new.
Of course, the most noteworthy feature was still the special effect of the Tiger Charge Boots.
After putting on the Tiger Charge Boots, Jiang Liu's heart stirred, and he directly activated the Tiger Pounce special effect.
He stomped heavily, and suddenly, it was as if an explosion erupted at his feet, causing the ground to shake.
The spot he stomped on blew open into a big hole.
And Jiang Liu? He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next thing he knew, he was already a hundred ters away; the speed was so fast that one couldn't react in ti.
"Very good, in terms of speed, it's almost comparable to the special effect of the Flashing Brilliance Shoes!" What was most important was the speed of the Tiger Pounce effect, which pleased Jiang Liu imnsely.
At the sa ti, seeing the destructive power unleashed after stomping his foot, Jiang Liu felt even more satisfied.
This Tiger Pounce skill, if launched on soone's body, would be equivalent to 120% of his attack power, which was enough to be considered a decent attack skill.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late! Let's set off now!" After testing the effects of the Tiger Charge Boots, Jiang Liu felt satisfied and spoke up.
While talking, Jiang Liu mounted his horse, and after resting for three days, he, along with his disciples, continued on their Journey to the West for Scriptures.
...
Walking intermittently, cooking als, and clearing dungeons, this Journey to the West had indeed beco like a leisurely tour for Jiang Liu.
Especially since he had incorporated so scenes from gas he knew in his previous life, it made Jiang Liu feel like he was grinding monsters in a ga while still greatly elevating his cultivation level.
As they travelled, Jiang Liu lost track of ti, only aware that the weather was getting hotter.
Calculating carefully, it should be almost fall by now, right? Why was the weather becoming unbearably hot instead? This made Jiang Liu feel a bit puzzled.
Walking for a while, Jiang Liu happened upon a small town and naturally decided to visit. If possible, it would be best to replenish so needed supplies thoroughly.
"Master, there's a tea shop ahead—the weather is so hot, I, Old Pig, am almost roasted, let's hurry and drink so tea!" Zhu Bajie wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves and spoke up.
"You pighead, if you really got roasted, let Master sprinkle so chili powder and cumin powder on you, and tonight I, Old Sun, will have pig ears to eat!" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Sun Wukong chuckled and replied.
"You plague-smitten monkey, always thinking about my pair of ears! I rember Master ntioned a famous dish called monkey brains—I, Old Pig, want to try that too!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie bristled and retorted without holding back.
Amidst the squabbling of the two brothers, Sha Wujing just walked with his head down, showing no intention of interjecting.
"Hmm, the weather is indeed oddly hot, just like midsumr!" Sitting on the White Dragon Horse, Jiang Liu also wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.
As for the fact that Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong still had the energy to argue, he admired them imnsely in his heart.
"Fortunately, there's a tea shop ahead, let's sit down and drink a couple of bowls of tea!" Jiang Liu nodded and said and, during the talk, he walked to the tea shop ahead and everyone sat down.
Soon, a thin old man ca out and greeted everyone.
Jiang Liu spoke up and ordered a bowl of tea, of course, not forgetting Little White Dragon either.
"Alright, sir!" The thin old man nodded his head, albeit weakly, and during the conversation, he took out a few bowls and poured tea for each of them.
The tea seed to contain sothing like mint leaves, and drinking a bowl really was refreshing and very comforting.
"Old man, this tea is good, pour another two bowls for , Old Pig!" After downing his bowl of tea, Zhu Bajie followed up by saying.
"Alright!" The old man nodded and then poured two more bowls.
While drinking, Jiang Liu noticed that the tea shop was very quiet, seemingly only serving him and his disciples.
However, given the sweltering weather, there weren't many people in the town; most stayed inside and didn't go out, so Jiang Liu didn't think too much of it.
Drinking tea and chatting with his disciples, they each ended up drinking several bowls without realizing it, feeling thoroughly refreshed afterwards.
"Old man, let's settle the bill!" Jiang Liu spoke up. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
"Great master, the total is eight pieces of silver!" The old man approached and replied.
"Oh, eight pieces of silver!" Jiang Liu nodded his head, ready to pay without a second thought, but then he paused slightly.
"That's not right, eight pieces of silver in Chang'an City could buy four or five hundred buns!"
Upon this realization, Jiang Liu looked at the old man with surprise and said, "You wouldn't be trying to swindle us, would you? Just a few bowls of tea, and you've marked up the price by dozens of tis?"
"You old man, are you asking for a beating!?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong and the others also ca to their senses and angrily glared at the old man, looking ferocious.
"Great master, you must be from far away, right?" Seeing the fierce looks from Sun Wukong and others, the old man stepped back in shock and spoke up.
"Indeed, we have co from afar, but does that an you can take advantage of us because we are strangers?" Jiang Liu nodded and asked.
"Great master, you flatter . You have a demon in your party; this humble old fool wouldn't dare to offend you. However, water here is extrely scarce; the price is comparable to at. You drank more than a dozen bowls just now, and these eight pieces of silver are already a discount I gave you!"
