Chapter 70

Hunting the Beast

Yan Qingyan was wearing a 'freshly-made' mercenary suit, with a wooden sign hanging around her waist, with the word 'Xiao Yao' written on the front and just the word 'Yong' on the back.

From today on, I will officially become a mercenary in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Qingyan, is there any mission you want to take?" Dongfang Huaiwei said, "This is your first time as a mercenary, so it's best to take a simple one to get familiar with it."

Yan Qingyan raised her head and looked around, dazzled by the countless messages.

She pinched her brows and said, "I still have to go to the registration center to register. You can just pick one."

Ye Feichen and the other two are all "old folks" in Wanjiang City, and she has only been here for seven days.

The others nodded in understanding.

Yan Qingyan took the map and walked towards the registration center.

When we entered the hall, as expected, the person in charge was another member of the Xue family.

Xue Lingtian was somewhat taciturn, like an 'ice sculpture', carrying out his 'work' step by step.

Xue Lingtian gave her a piece of 'paper' made of special material to record information.

Yan Qingyan filled it out quickly.

The moment she handed over the registration form, Yan Qingyan noticed with her sharp eyes that the one belonging to Ling Mochen was right below hers.

'The procedures for opening a medicine shop are actually faster than those for forming a mercenary group? 'Yan Qingyan thought.

Xue Lingtian handed her a resident ID card and a piece of information jade talisman, and said lightly: "Wanjiang City Mercenary Rules."

Yan Qingyan took it and took a look.

"The mercenary group must ensure that there are at least four people. If the number is insufficient, they must regroup within three months or register their "lone traveler" information in time to avoid missing out when the City Lord's Mansion counts and miss out on the reward..."

Yes, the Xue family also set up a 'KPI'. If more tasks are completed well, they will be given extra 'benefits'.

It's like a corporate company.

"I understand." Yan Qingyan put the items into the space and walked out.

Xue Lingtian looked at Yan Qingyan's departing back and narrowed his eyes.

Behind him, another staff member of the Xue family came over.

"These two actually came here? They really trust the reputation of our Xue family." The man rolled his eyes and said with understanding: "Yes, there is no better place than our Wanjiang City."

But he was a little surprised that the two of them did not hide anything.

Xue Lingtian retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Don't pay too much attention, treat everyone equally."

The reason why these fleeing cultivators all choose Wanjiang City as their first choice is that the reputation of the Xue family is of paramount importance.

No matter what kind of treasures the visitors carried, there has never been a case of them being robbed.

'Treat everyone equally' is the first family rule set by the ancestors of the Xue family.

"Okay~ I understand." The man shrugged and returned to his seat.

......

On the way back to the mission hall, Yan Qingyan deliberately took a long detour and went back to the cave to take a look.

Amu was still playing in the spiritual field, while Liuhuo was sleeping in the alchemy room.

There is no trace of Mo Chen in the cave. Could it be that the medicine shop has already opened?

Yan Qingyan left the cave and continued walking forward.

Just after walking one kilometer, I saw a shop under construction.

Wow~ Why does that person standing in front of the door look so familiar?

Ling Mochen noticed the gaze and turned around to look.

"Qingyan, have you found the team?" Ling Mochen asked.

"Found it, look!" Yan Qingyan took out the wooden sign and boasted, "It's called 'Xiaoyao Mercenary Group'."

"It's a good name." Ling Mochen praised.

Yan Qingyan looked at the construction team. People in the world of immortal cultivation work fast. In just a short while, they created a two-story medicine shop out of nothing.

After thinking about it, Yan Qingyan handed over a storage bag.

"Inside is the plaque I carved, but I forgot to take it out before."

Ling Mochen took it and took a look.

Wow, a plaque made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood!

Aren’t you really afraid of being stolen?

Yan Qingyan seemed to know what Ling Mochen was thinking and explained, "Don't worry, I added some 'ingredients', so it won't be lost."

"Then I feel relieved."

Otherwise, he would take away the sign after closing the shop every day and hang it up again after opening the shop in the morning.

Yan Qingyan didn't know what Ling Mochen was thinking, otherwise she would have shouted "outrageous".

A plaque, not enough!

......

Qingyang City, Ling Family.

boom!

A loud bang sounded in the Ling family mansion.

What followed were dozens of cries and anger.

The gossip fire in Yan Le'er's heart was ignited, and she quietly ran to the street next to the Ling family to wait and see.

There was a faint sound coming from the distance.

Yan Le'er couldn't hear clearly, and didn't dare to use her spiritual sense to investigate. She only vaguely heard words like "Ling Mochen", "Wanjiang", "Xue family", and "no fear".

She remembered that Yan Qingyan had told her that they went to Wanjiang City.

Yan Le'er thought with a look of surprise, could it be that the Biyue Sect didn't dare to offend Wanjiang City, so they came to cause trouble for the Ling family?

I have to say, Yan Le'er's truth is revealed.

Yan Qingyan and Ling Mochen appeared in Wanjiang City openly, and many people got the news.

Reactions were mixed.

Lord Lei Yang sighed, he didn't expect that even a life-extending pill was not enough to make the two take risks, but it was the two cautious little guys.

The leader of the alchemy event was a real person from the Alchemy Academy. Many outstanding young people came, and he took the opportunity to recruit several of them as guest elders in his City Lord's Mansion.

There is still no suitable disciple.

Luo Zi made a wasted trip and had to return to Feilan City in shame.

The one who was most unconvinced was Yin Siwen, who immediately ordered people to go to Wanjiang City to capture the two men. However, surprisingly, his usually obedient subordinates were unwilling to accept the task no matter what.

Especially Xiang Jiu, who secretly complained in his heart, your father is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, while the Lord of Wanjiang City is in the late stage of Nascent Soul, it would be fine if he just wanted to die, but could you please not bring him along?

So, Yin Siwen, feeling aggrieved, had to vent his anger on the Ling family.

Misfortunes never come singly.

The unlucky Ling Yaozu and his two companions returned home from Leiyang City with great difficulty, but were beaten up again by Xiang Jiu and his companions.

As for the Yan family, perhaps they have been forgotten.

......

Wangjiang City.

After chatting for a while, Yan Qingyan hurried back to the mission hall.

Ye Feichen has already chosen the task.

"Clear the turbid beast?"

Yan Qingyan took the task introduction and looked at it carefully.

The power division of turbid beasts and spiritual beasts is similar, still nine levels.

A level one turbid beast is equivalent to Qi refining, a level two turbid beast is equivalent to foundation building, and so on.

The biggest difference between spiritual beasts and dirty beasts is that spiritual beasts have pure spiritual power in their bodies, and their beast cores are the materials for many alchemy and refining tools, and can also be used directly for cultivation.

Most of the turbid beasts grow in places with mixed spiritual energy, and their beast cores cannot be absorbed directly, so they can only be used as "medicine" for pills such as Hunyuan Qingling Pill.

"Yes, all the major medicine shops in the city have been purchasing Turbid Beast Pills for a long time. This type of task, like the secret realm exploration, is the main task that is posted in the task hall for a long time." Yuan Yizi explained.

Dongfang Huaiwei said: "Most of the mountains here are inhabited by level one and level two turbid beasts, which are just right for us."

All four of them are at the foundation-building stage.

At most, it can deal with a level 2 turbid beast.

Most of the turbid beasts above level three are surrounded by the Endless Mountains, and even the Xue family members dare not go deep into them easily.

Yan Qingyan thought of the shop that Mo Chen had just opened, and subconsciously said, "I want the Turbid Beast Pill too."

"Buy in bulk, buy as many as you can!"
