"Help me find the path?"
Liu Changqing pondered these four words, his expression gradually returning to calm.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange, and both of them fell silent.
After a long while, Liu Changqing took another sip of wine, smiled faintly, and said, "It seems you have other experiences in Daohai."
"Yes, I see... there's more than one path."
Shen Qian nodded slowly, "So I was thinking..."
"Perhaps the path you see is the one that suits me, isn't it?" Liu Changqing nodded gently, indicating that he understood.
Then Liu Changqing glanced at Shen Qian with a half-smile, "You've told me this secret. Do you know what the consequences would be if I went out and spread it?"
"...Perhaps even your teacher can't save you!"
He fell silent before sinking down.
Liu Changqing was not exaggerating.
Everyone knows that seeking the Way is difficult; beneath mountains and seas, all are but ants.
Even among the powerful beings of the Mountain and Sea realms, there is still a considerable number who are "integrated with the Mountain and Sea realms," meaning they directly inherit the path that others have already traversed, which is tantamount to destroying their own future.
If someone can easily help others find the Way, it's equivalent to having the possibility of mass-producing those who can pave the way through mountains and seas.
How terrible this is!
"I believe in my sixth senior brother."
Shen Qian knew he shouldn't easily reveal his secrets, but if it could really help Liu Changqing, he wouldn't mind revealing some of them appropriately.
"You trust me that much?" Liu Changqing laughed.
"Didn't Sixth Senior Brother also tell me the secret of the primordial energy?" Shen Qian smiled as well.
"You little brat... Alright, two grown men, stop with the sentimentality. It's giving me goosebumps."
Liu Changqing tossed another bottle of wine to Shen Qian, saying, "Drink this and then leave."
"The matter of seeking the Dao..." Shen Qian paused, startled.
"My name is Liu Changqing, the Changqing of 'eternal green.' Of course, I'll walk my own path. Do I need you to nag me from the sidelines?"
Liu Changqing chuckled, "Have you ever seen anyone become a king or nobleman by relying on someone else's guidance?"
Shen Qian's body trembled, not expecting Liu Changqing to reveal his ambition so casually.
Your Majesty!
At the same time, a complex feeling welled up in Chen Qian's heart.
So, am I considered a puppet supported by the system?
The boy was momentarily confused, but quickly suppressed the thought.
"I see."
Before sinking down, he said no more and chatted casually with Liu Changqing, asking him some questions about the Martial Arts Association and the restricted area. After finishing a dozen beers, he said goodbye and left.
...
As soon as I got back to the 99th floor, the bracelet I had been holding rang.
Shen Qian glanced at the caller ID, then answered the phone, "Zifang?"
The person who called was Gu Zifang.
Since the college entrance examination results were released, Shen Qian and Gu Zifang, Ouyang Fei and others have not seen each other much, but they still keep in touch online.
"Shenqian, are you in Jingcheng?" Gu Zifang asked.
"certainly."
"That's good... I thought you'd forgotten!"
"...Uh, what are you talking about?" Shen Qian asked uncertainly.
"You really forgot?!" Gu Zifang's voice suddenly rose. "Didn't we agree to go on a training trip together?"
"Of course I remember that. I thought you were talking about something else." Shen Qian coughed lightly. "When are we leaving?"
"Meet at the Martial Arts Association headquarters in three days. I'll send you the exact time later. Don't be late. We're not qualified enough, so we can only be affiliated with someone else's 'Sword Farming Team.' Chen Peng has already made arrangements!"
Gu Zifang gave her instructions.
"Understood." Shen Qian nodded.
"By the way, did you pass your hunter's professional assessment?" Gu Zifang asked as if she remembered something.
“...Of course.” Shen Qian affirmed.
After chatting for a few more minutes, and then hanging up the phone, Chen Qian couldn't help but pat his forehead.
He remembered the training he had received, but he had almost forgotten about the professional assessment.
To enter the restricted area for training, one must have the corresponding professional badge, with hunters being the most common. Having the corresponding badge makes it much easier to move around in the restricted area.
For example, Wang Shuo is a mid-level hunter, which is why he is qualified to buy a high-powered psionic gun. Although he cannot use it in the city, there are no restrictions in the restricted area.
The "Slash-and-Grind Squad" is actually an officially recognized hunting squad, with registration and management falling under the Martial Arts Association.
Gu Zifang's so-called "affiliation" was also a last resort.
When venturing out for training, forming a slash-and-burn team is the best option. The official team will provide certain resource support, such as real-time map resources and rapid rescue in emergencies, which are all very useful.
However, the conditions for forming a slash-and-burn farming team are quite strict; hunters alone are not enough.
Speaking of slash-and-burn farming teams, we must also mention the existing professional system.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and a slash-and-burn team is a team with an exceptionally clear division of labor. The formation of a slash-and-burn team must be based on a complete division of labor.
According to Shen Qian's understanding, there are currently nine major secondary profession systems in martial arts.
Alchemists, alchemists, scholars, beast tamers, array masters, hunters, physicians, singers, and scouts.
Even the lowest-level slash-and-burn team needs at least four different job specializations to register.
As for Ouyang Fei and the others, it seems that, apart from Ouyang Fei who is being assessed as an alchemist, the others can probably only choose to be hunters.
After all, hunters only need to brush up on their knowledge of forbidden zones, and if their own cultivation level is not bad, it is the easiest way to get certified.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Qian quickly opened the Martial Arts Association's official website and booked a professional assessment for two days later.
