Entered the mercenary union, and there was a lot of traffic. Although Lin Chen came for the first time, he still easily found the 'news trading' place.

The Mercenary Guild not only receives and publishes tasks, but is also responsible for the sale and dissemination of 'news'.

"Hello, do you need to buy news or sell news?" Lin Chen approached the 'news trading' place, and a young girl in it asked politely.

"Buy the message. ”

"Yes, what news do you need?" the girl asked bluntly.

"In this realm, how many gates are there leading to the East Water Realm, where are they?" Lin Chen asked his own question.

"Please wait, my lord, I'll make an inquiry. The girl smiled sweetly, and after speaking, she inquired in the huge information cabinet behind her.

After a while, the girl had already finished her reception and said, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time. This question is worth ten medium-grade spirit stones, and after payment, we will give you the answer. ”

"Ten medium-grade spirit stones, so expensive?" Lin Chen was shocked, although he had already prepared in his heart, but hearing this price at this moment still made Lin Chen startled, and he couldn't believe it.

"My lord, our mercenary union has been in business for hundreds of years, what kind of news and what kind of price, this is definitely not daring to deceive your lordship. The girl's reception was very polite, and she still kept a smile when she heard the words, neither humble nor arrogant.

In the end, Lin Chen was not able to negotiate successfully, and obediently paid ten medium-grade spirit stones.

After receiving the spirit stone, the girl received her and said, "In this Qingye Realm, there are countless gates, but there are only three in total that lead to the East Water Realm. The first one is located in the Abyss Jedi, in the easternmost part of the Aoba Realm, at the bottom of the Hell Abyss, if the adults want to go, they need to worry about the abyssal storm there, and if they are swept in, the powerhouses of the Divine Sea Realm will not be able to get out. ”

Hearing the girl's reception, Lin Chen directly vetoed this place.

"The second boundary gate is in the hands of the Ye family. We don't know exactly where it is. "The girl's reception is reasonable.

Lin Chen was just about to get angry, but he heard her say: "Because the situation of the second realm gate is unknown, the adults can get this news with ten medium-grade spirit stones." ”

"The third realm gate, in the Demon Refining Tower of Aoba Academy, is rumored to open once every three years, and there is still a year and a half before it opens. After the girl finished speaking, she took a sip of water and said, "What else do you have with your lordship?"

"What are the requirements for entering this Demon Refining Tower?"

"Two medium-grade spirit stones. ”

Lin Chen: "......"

"My lord, there are still two hundred low-grade spirit stones left!"

Lin Chen rummaged through his things, but in the end, there was still no trace of the spirit stone, so he could only ask tentatively: "Why don't I be cheaper?"

"My lord, no, if the steward finds out, he will deduct my wages. The girl was unmoved.

"This is the Zhuyan Dan, it's enough to exchange you for this news!" Lin Chen was helpless, took out the Zhuyan Dan worth ten medium-grade spirit stones, and said.

The girl took the hand, carefully appraised it, and found that it was genuine, and immediately smiled.

"The Demon Refining Tower belongs to Aoba Academy, and if you want to enter, the first step is of course to join Aoba Academy and become a student. However, only gifted and intelligent students were eligible to enter this alchemy tower. The girl paused, and then said, "Every three years, the academy will select a group of students to hold a demon hunting competition and enter this demon refining tower. If an adult can join Aoba Academy and become a gifted and intelligent student, he will naturally be able to enter it and find the boundary gate at that time. ”

After listening to the girl's words, Lin Chen was helpless. According to the current view, the hell abyss where the first boundary gate is located is too dangerous, if he is alone, he can break through, but with Hua Shuirou, he can't do this. And the second realm gate is controlled by the Ye family, one of the two major families in the Aoba realm, and it is wishful thinking to enter the realm gate in front of this behemoth.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Lin Chen has no other choice than entering Aoba Academy.

But this is okay, according to Lin Chen's previous meaning, she originally planned to let Hua Shuirou study in it, and with her cultivation talent, she will definitely be able to shine.

And now there are two sisters by his side. Although Tang Fangfang didn't want Xiao Tangyuan to come into contact with martial arts, Lin Chen planned to let Xiao Tangyuan embark on the path of cultivation.

Because this is a world where martial arts are respected, if you don't have the strength, you can only passively meet birth, old age, sickness and death, which Lin Chen doesn't want.

The location of Aoba Academy is in Aoba City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from Blue Leaf City, but you don't need to walk over it with your legs. Because there is a special manned demon beast - the griffin.

This griffin can travel 3,000 miles a day, and the journey of 10,000 miles is only a matter of days. It's just that this kind of griffin is not easy to tame and expensive, so the road fare is not cheap.

Lin Chen can be said to be penniless now, and he doesn't even have a spirit stone left.

The few bottles of pills obtained in the ancient tomb, the Pulp Cleansing Pill and the Blood Clotting Pill had already been exhausted by Tang Fangfang. And the Phantom Beast Pill was given to Xiaobai, this pill can provide it with demonic power and help it condense the Beast Pill. Zhenyuan Dan, Qi Gathering Dan, and Zhuyan Dan are still left.

But these pills are hard to find, and if you really change them to spirit stones, they will inevitably be too tyrannical and not worth it.

"From Blue Leaf City to Green Leaf City, there is a distance of 80,000 miles. If you take a griffin, you need at least fifty medium-grade spirit stones for one person. Moreover, the conditions for joining Aoba Academy are harsh, if you have average talent, you have to pay a huge amount of tuition, and it is difficult to do without three hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"

Maybe it was because of Lin Chen's Zhuyan Dan, and the girl received and saw that no one noticed here, so she revealed some more news and helped Lin Chen estimate the next price.

"Are you worried about the spirit stone?" the girl said to herself, "Blue Leaf City recently had a competition for the king of mercenaries, the purpose of which was to select the latest mercenary group rankings. The reward for the first place is a high-grade spirit stone and a supernatural spirit treasure. The second place will be rewarded with 500 medium-grade spirit stones and supernatural spirit treasures, and the third place will be rewarded with 300 medium-grade spirit stones. If you have the strength, you can fight for it. ”

"The King of Mercenaries?"

"That's right, as long as you bring your own mercenary group, you are eligible to participate. ”

"I don't have a mercenary group!"

"Then you don't qualify. The girl rolled her eyes and said as a matter of course.

Lin Chen: "......"

The situation of the boundary gate has been known, but now the cost of the road is a problem in front of us. Lin Chen took Hua Shuitou Tang Fangfang and the others, and was about to leave, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl in red submitting information at the registration office of the 'King of Mercenaries' not far away.
