Chapter 852: Mercenary Monk
Before there was no Divine Stone, Qiao Heng naturally really had a lot of pressure, but now with the Divine Stone, it has become a happy trouble. In Phoenix Ridge, there are not a few monks who can work hard for the Divine Stone, and there is a place for such monks to be organized, which also leads to more monks who want to work hard to have something to do, and the bigwigs or ambitious people who need combat power naturally have a place to squander the Divine Stone.
The cultivation environment on Phoenix Ridge is very good, and with the help of the Divine Stone, the cultivation of the monks here is generally very high, so it seems that the appearance of mercenary monks on Phoenix Ridge is not an uncommon thing. The biggest difference between this and the Xuanyuan Continent is that if a monk on the Xuanyuan Continent wants to cultivate to the Gathering Spirit Realm, he needs to have a certain amount of resource support, and it is generally established that the monk has grown up under the cultivation of a family or a big force. Since it is using the resources of those families or big forces to grow, of course, there is no reason to defect to other forces. As for higher-level monks, this is naturally even more so, no monk can cultivate to a very high level without consuming too many resources on his own.
Even if it was Han Xiao, he had consumed countless cultivation resources along the way, and he himself never denied this, so he always had extreme disdain for those who kept saying that they didn't want to borrow big forces or family resources, and just wanted to go out alone, and those who didn't use the resources were the stupidest people.
However, in Phoenix Ridge, because of the abundance or special cultivation resources here, it has led to a group of people who are not too good in origin and have no cultivation resources, but they can also stumble to a good realm, such as the Yuan Spirit Realm, or even the Tongxuan Realm, and these monks cannot continue to improve their cultivation purely by refining the spiritual power between heaven and earth after reaching this realm, and they also need a certain amount of divine stones and flesh and blood to make themselves grow better. However, they really didn't have a place to get resources, and they were not willing to let their cultivation stagnate and then die of depression, so they all chose to become mercenary monks, at least so that they could get resources, and they didn't really sell themselves.
The biggest difference between a mercenary monk and a monk who really takes refuge in a force is freedom, mercenary monks are responsible for helping their employers fight one or several big battles at least according to the amount of divine stones they get, and they are still free after the battle, and they will not be less paid. It is precisely because of this situation that the number of mercenary monks on Phoenix Ridge has always been extremely high, which seems to be a very good thing for both Phoenix Ridge and mercenary monks.
Of course, where there are people, there must be contradictions, although these mercenary monks are exchanged for divine stones with their own hands and the courage to fight for their lives, but after all, they are still crowned with the title of civilian monks. After all, this title is indeed well deserved, if it weren't for the fact that he had no background and no backing, who would have worked hard for the divine stone alone, and still worked hard again and again. And this title will be passed down, and it is from the mouth of the opposite of the common monks, the sect monks.
Obviously, Qiao Heng is a sect cultivator, he has grown up and cultivated in the Heaven Splitting Sect since he was a child, and the resources required for cultivation are all obtained from the sect, but this is also destined for them to fight for the sect all their lives, which cannot be changed. In the final analysis, in fact, there is not much difference between the sect monks and the civilian monks, they are all desperate for resources, but the sect monks can say that they have faith, and the mercenary monks are indeed lacking in this regard, but they also have one more thing than the sect monks, that is, freedom.
In Han Xiao's opinion, this ridiculous distinction has no meaning at all, if the sect cultivator is strong enough, freedom will naturally not be too precious. In the same way, as long as the combat power of the civilian monks is strong enough, even if you are a big man in the sect, you can't help but be a little polite when you meet. There are no absolutes in the world, and those who are obsessed with it are those ordinary monks who are not high enough to cultivate and have not yet escaped from the ordinary people.
Point Shokaku.
No matter how much the sect monks sneered at the mercenary monks, at least the name of the general pavilion was still very good. The Dianjiang Pavilion is very large, and strictly speaking, this can no longer be regarded as a pavilion, because more than ninety percent of the places in the Dianjiang Pavilion are just a square, and only a three-story stone building stands at the end of the square, but this seemingly inconspicuous three-story stone building is valued by many people in Qian'an City.
"General, are you here to get some generals?" Qiao Heng and the others had just walked into the stone building when a monk greeted them. Qiao Heng didn't react, but Han Xiao and Qin Wuyue felt interesting, which was really interesting.
They can see that the huge square outside should actually be built according to the secular school field, there are stone houses on the school field, and these stone houses should be military tents, and I think it is because of the special stone houses of Phoenix Ridge, after all, if the real military tents are really used, these mercenary monks will really be miserable after night. And the monk who came up now should be just a small guy, but he was wearing a suit of armor, but he didn't know if this armor was made of jade spar or some other strange material, thinking that it must not be metal, but Han Xiao couldn't see what the specific material was for the time being.
"Order?" Han Xiao muttered, and then said, "How many Divine Stones do you need to invite a monk here?"
"Please?" The little guy was slightly stunned, but then he didn't hesitate and immediately said, "What kind of cultivator is the general planning to hire, does he want elite soldiers or good generals?"
"What's the difference, let's hear it. Han Xiao said very casually, he knew that even if he was in a hurry to go to the Heaven Splitting Battlefield, he would not be in a hurry for a while, not to mention that according to Qiao Heng, even if they returned to the Heaven Splitting Sect now, but because the time for the trial had not yet arrived, they would not be able to enter the Sky Splitting Battlefield in advance, since this was the case, it was better to choose a good choice. In any case, they are all allies on the same front as Qiao Heng, and the mercenary monks hired now will definitely be their temporary comrades-in-arms in the future, of course, it is better to be careful.
The little guy over there had already introduced Han Xiao to Han Xiao eloquently, but Qiao Heng walked away with no interest, and went directly to grab the jade slips hanging on the wall one by one and observe them. Han Xiao listened to it with relish, he still didn't know enough about the situation here after all. It's just that after hearing the price of the different pro-army monks that the little guy said, Han Xiao was completely taken aback. It's not that the little guy is asking for a sky-high price, but Han Xiao really can't believe that the increase will be so low.
After Han Xiao had made it clear that he was going to hire some mercenary monks to fight in the Heaven Splitting Battlefield, the price quoted by the little guy was still ridiculously low, at least in Han Xiao's opinion. A Yuan Spirit Realm monk can only have a hundred Divine Stones, and a Xuan Realm monk only needs three hundred Divine Stones, and even a cultivator who has cultivated to the fifth level of the Xuan Realm and has a lot of combat experience is only worth four hundred Divine Stones, and this situation is what shocked Han Xiao the most.
Han Xiao naturally knew that the cultivation level of the monks here was generally high because of the excellent cultivation environment on the Phoenix Ridge, but even so, not everyone could cultivate the cultivators of the Xuan Realm, and if they entered a war with a high probability of death, they only offered themselves three or four hundred divine stones. In this way, they were not even as precious as the flesh and blood of the several demon beasts that Han Xiao had cut. Han Xiao had only walked on the Void Eclipse Desert for three days, and the demon beasts he killed and the flesh and blood he cut out were already worth thousands of divine stones, and they were definitely valuable and marketable, but these Tongxuan Realm monks could only exchange for these divine stones by selling their lives, and Han Xiao couldn't see through this matter anyway.
It's just that things that can't be seen through are real, whether it's the little guy in the general pavilion or Qiao Heng, or the mercenary monks who occasionally wait here to be hired, they all think that such a price is very appropriate, and in the face of such a situation, Han Xiao can only keep silent.
Qiao Heng seemed to have found some treasures among the jade slips on the wall, walked up with a smile, and saw the slight unnaturalness on Han Xiao's face, and finally showed a somewhat smug expression, and said, "How about senior, I said that a million divine stones can do a lot of things here." ”
Han Xiao nodded, expressing his agreement. After all, if it was only calculated according to such a price, Qiao Heng and they could even hire two or three thousand Tongxuan Realm cultivators, and there was no shortage of Tongxuan Realm fivefold cultivators with outstanding combat power. However, obviously this matter still made Han Xiao think simply, although the mercenary monks would help them sell their lives because of the Divine Stone, but Han Xiao's situation was still a little special after all, because it was not yet the time to enter the Heaven Splitting Battlefield, but they needed to recruit the mercenary monks together now. In this way, they need to give the resources used by the cultivators in charge of these monks from now on. After careful calculation, if the cultivators they selected were all Tongxuan Realm cultivators, before they really wanted to enter the Heaven Splitting Battlefield, Qiao Heng would really need to spend nearly a thousand divine stones on almost every monk.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao looked at Qiao Heng differently, so it seems that this man who looks big and smug actually has his delicate side, and thinks that this should also be the side he is good at, but he didn't expect this guy to be an insider. It was precisely because of this discovery that Han Xiao, who had not planned to meddle in this matter, became more relaxed, looking at the few jade slips Han Xiao was holding in Qiao Heng's hand and asked with a smile: "What, these are all the fierce generals you have chosen?"
Seeing Qiao Heng nodded, Han Xiao was also interested, and said, "Go out and take a look, see what your vision is." ”
