Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Siyuan recovered from his injuries and successfully broke through to the third realm.
Just recently, he said goodbye to everyone at Lingyao Peak and left Qingyun Sect.
The disciples of Lingyao Peak escorted Li Siyuan to the foot of the mountain.
Huang Zhenyi said reluctantly, "Master Li, the world outside is dangerous and unpredictable. I hope you take good care of yourself. Here are the special pills made by my Spiritual Medicine Peak. They are all for recovering spiritual energy and external injuries. I hope you don't mind."
Xue'er came up and handed Li Siyuan a brocade bag filled with small jade bottles. Her eyes were also reluctant to leave, and she said, "Brother Li Siyuan, will you come back?"
Li Siyuan took the pill, patted her head, and smiled, saying, "I want to break through to a higher realm. I need to go through more trials and tribulations and strive to leave Jiuyouzhou as soon as possible. You should also work hard. I hope that one day we will meet again outside Jiuyouzhou."
Thinking back to the day when he was defeated by Yan Feihu of Jidao Sect with one move, the gap in strength between the two sides was extremely obvious.
Li Siyuan knew that his current strength was far from enough and he had to become stronger!
"Yes! We will definitely meet again!" Xue'er nodded in agreement.
Cao Gao also came to see him off. When he saw Li Siyuan approaching, he called out, "You are the Second Elder, right?"
Li Siyuan turned around and smiled: "Find me a good family to take care of that little girl."
“Okay!”
In fact, during the sect competition, Cao Gao guessed that the second elder was Li Siyuan.
Now that he had received Li Siyuan's recognition, he smiled with relief.
After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Li Siyuan waved and turned away.
whoosh!
In the distance, a red-haired fox ran out and jumped onto Li Siyuan's shoulder in a few seconds.
Li Siyuan touched its little head and smiled slightly.
Ever since it was rescued that day, the fox demon has been at Lingyao Peak, being cared for by Xue'er.
Now that his injuries had healed, he heard that Li Siyuan was leaving Qingyun Sect, so he followed him out.
A man and a fox left Qingyun Sect.
…
Yancheng, located 18,000 miles south of Qingyun Sect and in the center of Jiuyouzhou, is the most important place for resource trade among the seven major sects and is extremely prosperous.
The top of Luyun is thousands of miles away from Yancheng.
If you want to reach the top of Luyun, you must pass through Yancheng.
Therefore, as the day of the Seven Sects Alliance draws closer, the more disciples from the major sects in Yancheng gather, and even other large families and secret forces gather.
It can be said that at this time, Yancheng was a place where good and bad people mixed together, and undercurrents were surging.
From Qingyun Sect to Yancheng, there is a Jiuyou Mountain Range separating them.
The Jiuyou Mountains are full of peaks and ridges, and the winding peaks are like a huge dragon lying on the earth.
Monsters are rampant in the area, and they often come out to cause trouble, making it impossible for ordinary Qi-refiners or ordinary humans in nearby villages to live a normal life.
In order to avoid the threat from monsters, the villagers raised funds and issued a reward.
Thus, a special organization was derived, called "mercenary organization".
Mercenary organizations were created specifically to solve this kind of trouble.
They took the bounty and formed a group to enter the Jiuyou Mountains to hunt monsters and dig out core materials for huge profits.
Jushi Town is the village closest to the Jiuyou Mountains.
Soon, Li Siyuan arrived at Jushi Town.
Looking up from the entrance of Jushi Town, you can see the majestic and vast Jiuyou Mountains, with clouds and mist shrouding the top of the mountains and an eerie atmosphere.
Just one glance at it can make people feel the pressure from the mysterious power of nature.
Li Siyuan adjusted his mood and walked into the town.
If you want to go to Yancheng, you must pass through the Jiuyou Mountains!
Li Siyuan randomly found an inn to rest.
Starting from Qingyun Sect to Jushi Town, Li Siyuan rode at full speed for three days and three nights, and the horses were exhausted to death. He even walked the last part of the journey by himself.
Now that he had a place to stay, Li Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day.
Li Siyuan was resting when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
He stretched, walked to the window and looked out from the second-floor window of the inn.
Two demonic lions were seen swaggering down the town's main street.
The two demonic lions were pulling a carriage behind them, and guards in red iron armor stood on both sides, holding spears with a cold and sharp light.
The guard leader shouted as he walked, "A reward of 3,000 sixth-grade spirit stones per mercenary is offered. Please escort us out of the Jiuyou Mountains and head to Yancheng."
"Three thousand sixth-grade spirit stones per person?"
"Wow! This reward is quite attractive."
"But it's quite difficult. They have to leave the Jiuyou Mountains and head to Yancheng. Little do they know that it's at least ten thousand miles from the Jiuyou Mountains to Yancheng, passing through the heart of the mountains. The monsters there are ridiculously powerful and dangerous..."
"If you don't have the strength above the third realm, don't even think about it."
There was a lot of discussion on both sides of the street, but no one dared to step forward to accept the reward.
grumble!
The fire-swallowing fox paced along the windowsill, looked at the group of people, and let out a low groan.
Li Siyuan said in a low voice, "You want me to accept their reward, right? Firstly, I also want to go to Yancheng, and we're going the same way. Secondly, there are so many of them, who will protect whom? Right?"
The Flame-Swallowing Fox nodded quickly.
Li Siyuan smiled. These three thousand sixth-grade spirit stones were too simple.
But if you think about it, the fact that these people were able to offer three thousand sixth-grade spirit stones as a bounty in one breath is enough to show how powerful the foundation behind them is.
You know, even the Qingyun Sect, in order to motivate its disciples, could only reluctantly take out the sect’s savings, a thousand fifth-grade spirit stones!
Now this group of people directly gave each of them three thousand sixth-grade spirit stones!
"We'll take this reward!"
Suddenly, the crowd stirred and seven or eight middle-aged men and women walked out, all wearing strange clothes and with different faces.
The leader of the guards glanced at them and asked, "Which mercenary organization are you from? Please tell us your respective realms."
The burly man leading the group of seven or eight shook off his black bear-like flesh and chuckled, "We are the Blood Moon Mercenaries, and our stronghold is in the Nine Nether Mountains. I am the deputy leader, Li Mao, and I'm at the peak of the Third Realm. The others are at the Second and Third Realms, making us a major force of the Blood Moon Mercenaries. It will be easy for me to escort you out of the Nine Nether Mountains!"
After the burly man who called himself Li Mao introduced himself, the guard leader nodded slightly, walked to the side of the carriage, and said softly, "Young Master, how is it?"
A woman's soft voice came from inside, saying, "General Shu Zhang, just do whatever you think is appropriate."
"yes!"
Shu Zhang clasped his fists and accepted the order.
He turned his horse and said to Li Mao and the other mercenaries, "Follow behind us."
"good!"
Li Mao said happily, waved his hand, and the other seven mercenaries rushed forward.
The team instantly became stronger, and they continued to move forward, looking for other mercenaries.
In just one morning, thirty mercenaries were gathered, and their realm strength was basically between the second and third realms.
Obviously, Li Siyuan also got in.
