The participants of the off-campus training are all the freshmen, in addition to the teachers, there are also some strong seniors, as well as the law enforcers of Zhongzhou City will go to escort them. The activities co-organized with Fengshan College are Dongli College and Lingyu College in Zhongzhou City, and the three colleges have been cooperating and fighting for many years.

The venue of this joint training is set in the barren desert, which is arid and barren, with robbers running rampant, murderous beasts and ghosts, and worrying about sandstorms and quicksands, which can be described as an extreme test of survival.

Although the living environment of the Barren Desert is harsh, thanks to the unique heat accumulation and dry conditions, it is rich in a unique spiritual energy ore - the Barren Flame Crystal. This kind of spar contains a huge amount of spiritual energy, and it is one of the main energy sources used for all kinds of power devices, although it can be used for cultivation, but it contains the fire poison of the barren desert, and if you don't remove the fire poison, it is easy to go mad.

In this joint training, the freshmen have three tasks: one is to hike through the barren desert and cooperate in a team without restrictions; the second is to remember the location of the barren crystal mine and the robbers' den they encounter, and report them to receive additional rewards; the third is to find the red tokens buried by the teachers in advance, there are a total of 100 red tokens, and the more you hold, the more rewards.

Flame Spartes generally grow on ore veins, and where there are ore veins, the greater the chance of the heart of the earth appearing. Yin Jiuchen's trip to go out to experience is one purpose, and finding the Desolate Flame Vein and the Heart of the Earth is another purpose, as for collecting tokens, there is a fate to get it.

The freshmen who participated in the activity set off for Stormwind City in a spiritual spaceship from Zhongzhou City. Among the more than 300 freshmen in Fengshan Academy, there were about 200 participants, and there were more than 100 people from Dongli Academy and Lingyu Academy, each riding on three spiritual power ships. The route is from Stormwind to the other side of the Desert, Misty City, and is expected to last a month.

Boarding the spiritual power spaceship again, Yin Jiuchen sighed with some emotion, last time he was still a second-order spiritual qi cultivator, but now he is a third-order forging body. However, the changes are not only on the bad side, his soul power is close to the sixth order of the imperial qi, and the level of the elixir master is also approaching the fifth grade, and refining the elixir every day has greatly accelerated his promotion speed.

Regarding his own meridian problems, he and Mentor Tianman, Senior Ye Ning, and other people who helped him pay attention to them have been unremittingly recording and analyzing, sorting out the codex and sorting out a thick book, although he has not yet found a solution to the meridian problem other than the heart of the earth, but such a busy effort has greatly broadened his horizons.

The four-person team got together again, not only Yin Jiuchen, but the other three also made great progress.

Xia Lian's cultivation speed stunned Yin Jiuchen, and it soared to the third order of imperial qi, although Xia Lian usually looked like he didn't care about his strength outside, but he worked very hard in private, and he was distressed that he hadn't found the right beast clan yet; Miyazu Yu had risen to the fourth order of imperial qi, and recently in the refining department, he had also made some new weapons, which seemed to be quite powerful; Qiu Muyi had risen to the third order of imperial qi, and he hadn't seen him say anything about his learning in the rune department.

The three spiritual power spaceships set off from Zhongzhou City together and headed towards Stormwind City. Xia Lian asked the ingenious Miyazu Yu to make a puzzle game called "Mahjong", which was very interesting, and the four of them had a lot of fun on the spaceship, and nine days passed in a hurry.

Yun Xiaoyi didn't come to disturb Yin Jiuchen during this period, she seemed to have her own team.

Arriving at the Stormwind docks, all the participants change their uniforms and put on their usual clothes. This kind of activity is not suitable for fanfare, it is easy to be known by people with intentions, and it is necessary to prepare in advance. Dealing with a prepared enemy, even powerful teachers, seniors, and law enforcers will have a headache.

Disembarking from the ship means that the event officially begins, there is no organization speech, and there is no starting ceremony, these things have been said by the teachers on the spaceship. Each student will have a blue token, which can not only sense the red token buried by the teacher within a certain range, but also allow the protectors to observe the participants' movements at any time and go to the rescue.

The participants in civilian clothes quickly integrated into Stormwind City, and the Silver Jiuchen four-person team didn't even have time to pay attention to the appearance of the participants from the other academies.

Because of the freedom of the rules, the team decided to find food in Stormwind City first and prepare before setting off, as it may take a month to stay in the desert, and it is not okay to prepare well.

While the team was eating food at the roadside stall, a small uncle who looked like a merchant, about forty or fifty years old, walked up to the four of them, looked at the weapons on their waists, rubbed his hands and asked:

"The surname of the contemptible person is Fang, and the leader of the caravan is merely the leader. How many of you are cultivators, are you interested in taking on a guard mission?"

"Guards?" Xia Lian reacted the fastest: "But we're not mercenaries, aren't we?"

"It's not a mercenary who can sign up, how about it? Fang Ling stretched out four fingers: "From Stormwind City Escort to Misty City." ”

"Four gold coins?" Miyatsu asked.

Fang Ling shook his head.

"Forty gold coins?!" Xia Lian exclaimed.

"Forty silver coins is already a lot of money, forty coins are enough for you to live for several months, and we are also responsible for food and shelter during this escort mission. Fang Ling shook his head, as if he felt that the price he opened was very good.

"Not interested. Yin Jiuchen didn't pay attention to him anymore, merchants are businessmen, and when he saw them young, he thought they were easy to deceive, right? But it's a good idea to register as a mercenary, and follow the team directly through the desert, safely and quickly.

"Sixty, sixty, plus help you pay the capitation fee for the registered mercenaries, okay?" Leader Fang was anxious, now the team was ready, but there were many big guilds, and the mercenaries of the big team were afraid of low commissions, so he had to look for the team of mercenaries everywhere, how could he let go of the good opportunity in front of him.

"Eighty, after all, there are four of us, sixty is still too little. ”

"Okay, okay, come with me, I'll take you. Fang led the way in a hurry, and kept looking back for fear that they would fall.

The group came to the nearby mercenary hall, although it was not as lively as the Great Hall, there were many people, and the person who handled the registration window obviously knew Fang Ling, glanced at the four of Yin Jiuchen, and deliberately teased:

"Leader Fang, are you pheating people again this time?"

"Can you speak? What are the pit people, didn't I take the initiative to help them register as mercenaries?" Fang Lingtou suddenly blew his beard and glared, took out some silver money from his pocket, and slapped it on the reception desk: "The head fee for four people, you can take the excess to drink, do it quickly!"

The speed of handling was very fast, and after a while, there was an iron plate in the hands of the four people, with the word "E" written on it. The "E" level mercenary is the lowest level of mercenary, and above it is D, C, B, A, etc.

"Come, come, come with me, and show you the members of the caravan. Fang Ling looked very anxious.

Yin Jiuchen and the four of them glanced at each other, and there was no problem, so they followed.

The caravan led by Fang had more than twenty people, in addition to hiring Yin Jiuchen, he also hired another four-person mercenary team, and the strength of the four-person team was in the Imperial Qi Realm, and the leader was a black-skinned woman with a hot figure and a sexy dress.

The black-skinned woman looked at the four of Yin Jiuchen, staying on Yin Jiuchen for the longest time, and seemed to confirm something, the leader of the other party shouted: "I said Leader Fang, the lack of mercenary guards will not recruit a group of children, right?
