Chapter 45: Nine Soldiers Mercenary Regiment
"Drink!"
"Hah!"
In front of an abandoned ruined temple, there are four men and two women who are cooperating with each other to practice, although the strength of several people is limited, the highest is only ten layers of body refining, but every move is full of seriousness and ruthlessness.
Suddenly, a man in Tsing Yi ran in the distance, his face was full of excitement, and he shouted loudly while waving the small porcelain bottle in his hand: "Lazy brother, look what I brought back!"
Several people who were practicing stopped when they heard the sound and surrounded them curiously.
One of the youngest girls was the first to speak: "Fifth brother, take it out and see, what kind of good thing is it?"
The man in Tsing Yi looked even more proud: "Hmph, guess what." β
A man who was the strongest in the audience, two meters tall, stretched out his hand to grab it, but when he saw that the other party was still hiding, he went directly up to a man in Tsing Yi who was suppressed by a bear hug and couldn't move.
"Hey, hey, third brother, let go!
Hearing this, Dahan also quickly collected some strength, and said in a somewhat urned voice: "That...... Then you're ...... Say it. β
"Hehe...... the man in Tsing Yi smiled mysteriously, and no longer sold Guanzi, but carefully opened the small porcelain bottle, and suddenly a strange fragrance wafted out of it.
The fastest reaction was still the girl who spoke before: "It's Qi and Blood Pill!" After speaking, he immediately tiptoed his little head over, "One, two...... Wow, there are twelve!"
The rest of the people also smiled, and they could see that they were in a good mood, but they saw that the man in Tsing Yi immediately turned pale: "Stupid ninth sister, it's obviously thirteen!"
"Huh, yes? I'll count again. The girl hurriedly took the small porcelain vase, and was also very careful.
And the rest of the people asked the man in Tsing Yi how this elixir came from.
Only the middle-aged man known as the lazy brother stood aside and did not make a sound, although there was a smile on his face, but his heart was full of thoughts.
This is a mercenary group called the Nine Soldiers, which means nine kinds of weapons, originally composed of nine natives of Lieyun City, but when performing a mission a month ago, there was a conflict with a local big family surnamed Hu, so two members were folded, but afterwards the other party did not let them go, and let out the words Whoever dares to issue a task to the Nine Soldiers Mercenary Group is against their Hu family, on the one hand, the Hu family, which is quite powerful in the local area, and on the other hand, there are several cultivators in the refining period who have no background, and everyone naturally understands how to chooseγ
As a result, the nine soldiers, who could still support themselves, lost all their sources of income for a while, no one gave them tasks, there was no place for them to take on tasks, and even the major commercial houses were unwilling to accept the materials they provided, and even for food, they had to cover their faces to buy them back.
What was handed over to Qiu Nanping this time was all the gains they had made in the past month, the usable materials on the bodies of the nineteen demon beasts in the refining period, but in the end, they only exchanged for thirteen lower grade pill qi and blood pills, which were obviously squeezed by the other party.
In fact, except for their nine sisters, who are not deeply involved in the world because they are young, how can the rest not understand the cattiness of this, but this is indeed the only successful transaction they have made in the past month, although they are unfair and unwilling to fight each other, at least there is an improvement at best, isn't it?
"Didn't they always refuse to accept our goods before? Why are they so angry now?"
Qiu Nanping explained with a smile to his fourth brother's doubts: "I don't know the specifics, but I tell you, it is true that Linlang Pavilion is now more bullish than before, and today I also saw people from the City Lord's Mansion entering and leaving them, and their attitude was quite low-key, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it at all." β
Qiu Nanping took a slight breath and continued: "Moreover, after I sold everything today, the person who paid the money specially greeted me, saying that in the future, if there are any materials for refining medicine, just go to them, there will be nothing they dare not accept." β
"Sizzle...... It seems that this is on the thighs, and I don't know who gave them such confidence, you say, could it be the Yan family?"
There is only one Yan family in Yan Kingdom, and everyone understands who he is talking about.
Lao Qi Kong Yong shook his head and analyzed: "It's unlikely, how can the Yan family take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, if you want me to say, it is more likely to be Jubao Zhai." β
As soon as the words fell, Su Hui shuddered: "Old Seven, are you stupid or are you stupid or are you stupid?
"Hey, sixth sister, you can tell me, why are you beating me, am I stupid? β
Ninth Sister Yun Xinyue is completely different from their focus: "Oh, why do you always discuss these useless things, let's discuss how to distribute such an elixir, and when our strength improves, we can exchange it for more things next time, if you want me to say give it all to Brother Lazy first, as long as he breaks through to the Qi refining period, we can go hunt more advanced demon beasts!"
Hong Dazhuang, the third child who had not participated in the discussion before, was the first to speak out this time, still angry: "I...... I agree!"
"I'm okay with that!"
"Yes!"
Everyone also expressed their support.
And Hao Lazy himself shook his head: "I understand your kindness, but my current situation has reached a bottleneck, if I want to continue to break through, I have to rely on my understanding, the Qi and Blood Pill has lost its effect on me, according to me, the ninth sister has the best qualifications, she takes three, and the remaining ten are divided equally between the five of you." β
This is half-true, the Qi and Blood Pill is useless to him, but he understands that what he needs is not understanding, but a real exercise, just the cheapest mortal-level lower grade exercise also requires hundreds of spirit stones, even if their entire mercenary group does not eat and use, they have to save for a year and a half, and now facing such a predicament, of course he will not say this.
So everyone happily divided the harvest this time, and at the end, Qiu Nanping suddenly remembered something, and said casually: "Oh, by the way, this time I also heard a news in Linlang Pavilion, saying that a new task release point has appeared hundreds of miles away from us, it seems to be called Fort...... Boom, well, that's the name. β
"Castle? Listening to the name, it should be a small force, I'm afraid it's not even a village, what kind of mission can it issue. Kong Yong also talked casually.
The speaker had no intention of listening, and Hao Lazy, who had been thinking about the way out of the nine soldiers, suddenly raised his spirit and asked with a serious face: "Are you sure you haven't listened to the fork?"
Qiu Nanping frowned and recalled for a long time before he confirmed: "Well, that's right, I just heard from a person who sells materials in Linlang Pavilion, saying that if it weren't too far away, he would definitely sell the materials, and the purchase price over there seems to be higher." β
Su Hui saw Hao Lazy's pensive look, and asked tentatively, "Brother Lazy, do you mean you want to try?"
Hao Lazy nodded slightly: "Well, it's worth a try, after all, our current situation in Lieyun City is really not good." β
"But......" Kong Yong hesitated, "I heard that there used to be a forest over there with a lot of demon beasts, but in the past half a year, I don't know how to see any of them, and many mercenaries who were originally begging for life there have moved to us." β
Hao Lazy still nodded: "I've also heard of this, but since it's a mission release point, there must be other tasks besides demon hunting beasts, didn't the fifth child say it, and there are also alchemy materials over there." β
Qiu Nanping saw that there were still a few people who hesitated and were not determined to get angry: "What is there to hesitate, it's just a few hundred miles, at most two days' journey, if you can't do it, you can come back, what a big deal." β
Yun Xinyue immediately raised her hands high: "I approve of it, I approve of it!" The fifth brother is right, the Nine Soldiers Mercenary Regiment, do what you say, the goal is the same as Qianbao, and you will set off tomorrow!"
