After putting on the Brilliant Garment, Lufeng's attributes increased significantly, especially his health, which rose by over three thousand. Additionally, he had a Level 2 Red Crystal rewarded by Peng Huaiyu that he had not yet used. This reward was one of the most generous before reaching level 90. Lufeng couldn't help but check the Level 2 Red Crystal:
【Red Crystal】(Wisdom Gem)
Gem Level: 2
Description: A red crystal that can be embedded in offensive equipment (weapons, Wrist Guards, rings, amulets, Necklaces, Hidden Weapons, Martial Souls, Dragon Patterns). Once used, it cannot be embedded with similar gems again.
Embedding: Fire Attack +15
When it comes to attribute stones, one must be careful not to embed them randomly. Nowadays, without binding stones, they can be circulated and used. If one makes a wrong choice, they can still sell it; however, if they embed them randomly, it becomes a disaster—not only wasting high-level embedding symbols but also achieving no effect at all.
However, there are various opinions on choosing Attribute Stones. Some spendthrifts opt for a four-attribute build, which is simply a waste of money and achieves no real effect.
It is well-known that the Top Ten Sects have mutual restraining relationships, similar to Bagua. Different sects with the same level of attributes do not have a true first place under the same expert gameplay. Therefore, in pursuit of this balance, players can only compete with stones and equipment. In Asking Heaven, it’s even about "competing with one's father." Not only must the equipment be good, but the skills must also be sharp and reflect various abilities from real life!
Considering all these factors, Lufeng believes that players who choose attributes from other sects are foolish. Players who pursue a four-attribute route are just showing off unless they are from Heavenly Dragon. There was once an Emei player who chose to cultivate four attributes; it was quite pretentious. As for the stones that resist four attributes, the Top Ten Sects can also choose to resist four attributes; the higher the better—though it varies from person to person. For instance, Aunt Wang faced opponents with collective fire resistance during the Martial Arts Tournament and was defeated because of it; this remains Aunt Wang's lifelong regret. Thus, there is no absolute answer regarding which stones to use; players should choose resistance stones based on their enemies and opponents.
To play a game well, one must deeply understand it; otherwise, instead of playing the game, you become played by it. From the moment he entered Asking Heaven, Lufeng understood its entirety.
Choosing a sect means understanding its attribute growth:
Shaolin is only suitable for the Mystic Attack route; the Attribute Stone can only be Yellow Crystal. All sect attribute resistances (ice resistance, fire resistance, Xuan Kang, poison resistance) vary from person to person.
Ming Jiao is suitable for the Fire Attack route, choosing Red Crystal.
Beggar's Sect is suitable for both Fire Attack and Poison Attack, but Fire Attack Beggar's Sect is very rare. Its sect skills are more suited for Poison Attack, so generally, there are only poisonous Beggar's Sect, choosing Green Crystal. If a fire Beggar's Sect appears, it must be an oddity!
Wudang is suitable for Ice Attack and Mystic Attack. Generally, in terms of Dungeon, players will choose Xuanwu Island, selecting Yellow Crystal, because the monsters in Swallow Dungeon have strong ice resistance, making Ice Wudang ineffective.
Emei, like Wudang, is also suitable for Ice Attack and Mystic Attack. Conversely, Emei is more suited for the Ice Attack route, choosing Blue Crystal.
Starry Lodge, as seen in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, is known for using poison, so it’s obviously on the Poison Attack route, choosing Green Crystal.
Tianshan, true to its name, is like an ice cellar, naturally following the Ice Attack route, choosing Blue Crystal.
Xiao Yao is suitable for both Fire Attack and Poison Attack. For those who dual cultivate with Lufeng, both attributes need to grow simultaneously, giving players with lower fire and poison resistance a greater chance of winning.
Murong, like Shaolin, is only suitable for Mystic Attack. Players who attack with other attributes are either foolish or pretending to be clever. As for the Heavenly Dragon, a sect where all four attributes can be chosen is not something ordinary players can handle; it doesn't matter what you choose.
Regarding attributes, Qin Shou has always been conflicted. After receiving the level 2 Yellow Crystal reward, he finally couldn't help but ask Lufeng: "Boss, I've always had a question I wanted to ask you. What exactly are Xuan Kang and Reduction of Xuan Resistance? I only know they relate to Mystic Attack, but I'm clueless about resistance. Please enlighten me!"
Lufeng couldn't help but chuckle: "Who are we to each other? There's no need for guidance; we learn together! As far as I know, Xuan Kang pertains to Mystic Attack! If you pay attention to others' data, it's not hard to see how much is marked as related to Mystic Attack. And Mystic Attack takes effect without using skills; it works directly through normal attacks. So, Xuan Kang directly counters or 'negates' the opponent's Mystic Attack. The attack acts as an additional form of damage that occurs when wearing corresponding equipment with a focus on Mystic Attack. Therefore, monsters cannot have it! If monsters don't have Mystic Attack, then Xuan Kang won't work against them because it's unnecessary. On the other hand, Reduction of Xuan Resistance directly reduces the opponent's Xuan Kang. For example, if I have a Mystic Attack, and you have a Xuan Kang, then if I have a Reduction of Xuan Resistance, your Xuan Kang becomes weaker or even completely negated. My attacks will hurt you more and cause more damage!"
"So does that mean that Reduction of Xuan Resistance is even better?" continued Qin Shou.
Lufeng shook his head: "Not necessarily; they complement each other! Both Xuan Kang and Reduction of Xuan Resistance are meant for combat. It depends on what attribute the opponent is attacking with. If the opponent uses a Mystic Attack, then you should use this type of resistance. Thus, there’s no fixed choice for resistance among the various sects; attribute attacks are fixed. Each sect has its suited attribute attack and should develop that specific attribute attack. As for the oddity that is the Heavenly Dragon, it belongs to a moderate sect. Its main feature is that its stamina growth is very high, making it quite resilient but also the most expensive. If you can't equip all four gems, don't play as a Heavenly Dragon. Generally speaking, attribute gems focus on single attribute gems. As for equipment, if you have money, try to choose gear that supports four attribute attacks. In group fights, being resilient is quite good; therefore, the Heavenly Dragon is best suited for group battles with four attribute attacks and four types of resistance—relatively speaking, they all grow in balance."
Qin Shou was a bit frantic: "What you said really makes me feel conflicted!"
"Well, at least you didn't choose Wudang, otherwise you'd be even more conflicted," Lufeng smiled slightly. "Wudang is arguably the most controversial among the Heavenly Dragon Ten Professions, and it has the most diverse paths. There's Blood Wudang (full Stamina build), Lightfooted Wudang (full Mobility), Ling Wudang (full Spirit), and Qi Wudang, along with many 'Blood Qi' Wudang builds explored by great players (like jay and Consort X), as well as 'Blood Qi Resistance' Wudang! With so many paths, you might end up even more frustrated!"
"So~" Qin Shou nodded repeatedly: "For the sake of my first Shaolin advancement, I want to be the thickest-blooded Blood Cow!"
After listening to Lufeng's explanation, Qiu Han immediately said, "Based on what you said, those players who don't follow the rules, like those taking the three-path route in Wudang or the four-attribute route in Emei, are all considered Brother B?"
"Hehe~" Lufeng chuckled lightly but did not directly answer Qiu Han.
Understanding attributes was essential, and soon Lufeng and the others confirmed their respective attribute paths. Lufeng chose to dual cultivate Fire Poison, Murong Xiaoxiao went for ice attack in Emei, Wang Xiaojing focused on poison attack in Beggar's Sect, and Gaochao Mingjiao specialized in fire attack. As for Qin Shou, he opted for mystic attack in Shaolin, while Qiu Han took ice attack in Tianshan. The specifics of resistance would depend on the situation; naturally, equipment would prioritize attack, with defense being secondary. If the attack was high enough, the choice of resistance would be more flexible.
