Half a year later, when the lights were on, the hunter tavern on Lijiang Street was full of people.

Aunt Zhang was bartending and preparing food in front of the bar, and Jingzi was helping to collect the money. In the lobby, Hongzi and Qiangzi held wooden plates, delivered wine and meat to the guests like water, and cleaned up the leftovers on the table. In the private seat next door, Uncle Zhang's loud laughter was heard from time to time.

Aunt Zhang had already sold her steamed bun shop, and then opened this hunter tavern on Lijiang Street, and the business was not ordinarily good.

The name of the Hunter Tavern was taken from Uncle Zhang's Hunter Mercenary Group. To say that this hunter mercenary group is not the hunter mercenary group half a year ago, it is not that the scale has expanded much, but its fame has completely started, and even merchants from Luoyang City, thousands of miles away, will come here.

It is said that the first task that made this mercenary group famous was the soul grass collection task released by the Luoyang Lingdan Hall, which was a task with a difficulty of up to four stars.

The Lingdan Hall is entrusted by the major sects to refine a large number of Soul Fixing Pills every year, and the main medicine of this Soul Fixing Pill is Soul Grass. The quantity of soul grass is already scarce, and with its own psychedelic effect, the difficulty of collecting can be imagined, and the price in the market has always been high.

Since the Lingdan Hall in Luoyang City issued the mission, there were several mercenary groups willing to give it a try at first, but they either failed or disappeared since then. After more than a year, no mercenary group was willing to take on this task.

Lingdantang had no choice but to entrust merchants to buy soul grass from other city-states, but basically they all returned in vain, and only one city-state actually succeeded in purchasing more than a dozen plants, and that city-state was Blackstone City.

Black Rock City has a superior location and abundant output, if you want to say that the output of soul grass, there are more than ten plants in a year, which is a drop in the bucket, and most of them are specially sent by Dantang and medicine shops in the city to collect them in the mountains, where is the turn to be purchased by foreign merchants?

Unexpectedly, half a year ago, the merchants unexpectedly discovered that there were actually people in Black Rock City selling soul grass, and the price was still parity, which was simply too happy. But when they bought out all the soul grasses at a high price, they found that it was only more than ten plants, which was still a drop in the bucket.

In desperation, with the mentality of trying it out, the task of collecting soul grass was released in Black Rock City, and the difficulty of the task was as high as four stars, and of course the reward was quite considerable.

After this mission was released, just like Luoyang City at the beginning, there were several mercenary groups who wanted to try it, but there was no news of them all. Later, the merchants took the initiative to find the hunter mercenary group, and it is said that their leader was the one who sold the soul grass last time, so the merchants agreed to pay a deposit in advance.

This mercenary group really lived up to their expectations, and in just a few days, they collected hundreds of soul herbs and a large number of other elixirs and herbs, which caused a sensation in the entire Black Rock City for a while.

The shrewd merchants did not deliberately lower the price because of the huge number of medicinal herbs, except for the soul grass that was traded at the agreed price of 50,000 gold coins per plant, other elixirs and medicinal herbs were also purchased at a price that rose by 20% of the market price, in order to befriend this magical leader.

The Hunter Mercenary Group also lived up to the expectations of the merchants, and in the next few missions, they collected a large number of soul grasses and other rare elixirs for them. The completion of these tasks completely launched the reputation of the Hunter Mercenary Group, and at the same time, every member of the Mercenary Group made a fortune, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang used this money to open this Hunter Tavern.

Today, the Hunter's Tavern is a favorite spot for other mercenaries and merchants. The mercenaries wanted to try their luck here, or meet the amazing leader, and some even joined the Hunter Mercenary Regiment directly.

As for the merchants, they can't afford to make no profits, and Pepsi comes first, so they naturally come here for the scarce things in the hands of the regiment leader. I heard that the hunter mercenary group has gained a lot from these few visits to the mountain, and in addition to the elixir herbs that have been sold, they also have a lot of good things hidden in their hands, so the merchants naturally hope that they can get ahead of the curve.

Uncle Zhang does have a lot of good things on hand, in addition to the scarce soul grass, there are also elixirs such as Phantom Heart Grass, Thousand Illusion Jialan, and Rotten Bone Spirit Flower are also rare things, if you meet a Dan master who is in urgent need of this thing, it is also very common to have a hundred gold plants.

These elixirs, of course, were taken from the abandoned ancient medicine field of the Ecstasy. The encounter half a year ago is still terrifying, but the rest of their lives after the catastrophe have also brought them huge benefits, the medicine field is simply a cornucopia, the sale of soul grass alone is enough for everyone to buy a good set of courtyard houses, not to mention the income from other elixirs and herbs.

After Lao Liang paid a bail of 30,000 gold coins, his son Zihao was finally released, and Lao Liang also took his son to kowtow to Ah Jian a few times.

Uncle Jin didn't buy a real estate shop, but he used the money to ask the enchanter master in the city to create a fire soul giant sword, which is said to inspire several flame dragons as long as he inputs fighting qi, and the attack power is more than dozens of times greater than the original steel giant sword.

The other mercenaries are similar, either using this money to solve emergencies, or buying weapons to improve combat effectiveness, and then buying houses and land to improve the quality of life, these days are getting more and more prosperous.

Of course, they all know how this good day came about, so they are all grateful to Ah Jian, and they have to promise to repay the favor.

Let's say that Ah Jian and Shishi, since the last time they came back from Ecstasy, the two have been unhappy, because the old demon has never appeared again.

Of course, they didn't believe that the old demon was dead, at least the meteorite heated up from time to time to remind them that there must be something wrong here, and maybe the old demon was still fighting with those ghosts inside.

Ah Jian and the brothers wanted to find out, so Ah Jian also asked the dean teacher about the construction principle of soul magic, and was severely criticized by the old man of the wind, saying that except for high-level magicians of the light or dark departments, soul magic should not be easily touched.

Ah Jian couldn't tell Dean Feng about the old demons, you must know that the temple is never merciful to yin gods, evil ghosts, etc., and the so-called good and bad ghosts are simply a joke for the priest who is like a ghost.

In desperation, he had to ask his classmate Yu Xin for advice. Because of her extraordinary talent, she was favored by the high priest of the temple three months ago, and was selected as the training object of the next temple priest, and began to learn some simple soul magic.

Yu Xin had a good impression of this senior brother, who was also from a civilian background and had extraordinary qualifications, and a few months of studying and living together made them have a certain hazy affection between them.

Therefore, despite the fact that the temple had a ban on soul magic, she still quietly told Ah Jian the principle of soul magic. Of course, she also gave Ah Jian the words that the high priest had warned her as they were, which was nothing more than that those who were not firm in their beliefs should ban soul magic, and those who did not cultivate well should use soul magic with caution, otherwise there would be endless troubles and so on.

But in order to find out the life and death of the master and the old demon, where did Ah Jian care so much, after mastering the principle of soul magic, he tried to use simple soul magic, such as the Divine Soul Separation Technique. The result of the attempt was that when his soul was just close to the meteorite, he was almost sucked in by the strong gravitational force inside, but fortunately, the stone came in in time and pushed his body, and he finally broke free.

This accident touched Ah Jian a lot, and sure enough, there was no shortcut to any success, he had to practice his skills step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and the longing for the master and the old demon became the biggest motivation for him to meditate and build magic every day, and half a year passed quietly unconsciously.
