Chapter 115: Mercenary Guild

(In order to thank the falling flowers for their support, today's three watches!)

Su Aotian also found that the mortals here, although they can't cultivate, but maybe because they have been immersed in the vitality of heaven and earth for a long time, their physique is amazingly good, even the old and young women and children are vigorous, and there are even some martial artists, although they can't fly around, but they can climb mountains and mountains, fly over the eaves and walk on the wall, and their strength is also extremely amazing, not much worse than the supernatural powers of some qi refining cultivators. Only then did Su Aotian understand why cultivators would mix with mortals, because they were really not much stronger than the best among mortals, and under the beating of a group of martial artists, maybe a monk in the first or second stage of qi refining would die. It's no wonder that the handsome man said that Su Aotian's qualifications can't be called a monk, at most, he has more magical powers than mortals, and he has a few more years of life.

In the eyes of these mortals and low-level cultivators, a Jiedan monk like Su Aotian was of course unfathomable, and wherever he patronized, he was all respectful to him, and he was deeply afraid that there would be a slight difference in the pool, which would anger this powerful monk and bring disaster to himself and the whole village. Therefore, where did they dare to hide Su Aotian's question, and they learned from them that they were already very close to Dongqingcheng.

Sure enough, Su Aotian walked for another three or five days, and he saw a city in front of him from a distance.

Su Aotian quickened his pace and walked quickly towards Dongqingcheng. After about a stick of incense, they walked to the edge of the city. He first looked at the appearance of Dongqing City, and saw that although the scale of this city was not small, it was similar to Tianwu City and Xuanwu City, and it was far from being tall and majestic than he imagined. But after thinking about it, this is just a small city in the remote area of Chengtian Prefecture, and the scale is already similar to the largest city in Qinglong Prefecture, so it can't be considered bad.

The entrance tax is usually payable, and it seems that this rule is common everywhere. After Su Aotian entered the city, he saw that the city was also built in a square, with two straight avenues running through the east, west, north and south, and the central gathering place was the most prosperous place in the city, and the pattern was exactly the same as that of Qinglong Prefecture. Su Aotian drove straight to the city center, where there were auction halls, shops and other buildings, and there was a tall building on the right side of the auction hall, with a plaque with the four big characters of "Mercenary Guild" hanging on it. Su Aotian thought to himself that he hadn't heard of this, so he went to see what he was doing first.

After entering the door, I only heard a lot of noise inside, there were counters on three sides of the hall, there were many young female cultivators behind the counters who were busy, and there were quite a few monks standing outside, both in the Dan stage and in the Yuan infant stage, I don't know what they were busy with. More than that, there was a large group of monks seated at hundreds of tables in the hall, all drinking and chatting, and the noise was almost like entering a vegetable market. Among these people, there are not only Taoists dressed as monks, but also many people who are shirtless, with messy hair and burly physiques, not so much cultivators, but more like martial artists in the mortal world, but these people are also a strong breath, and the worst is also the Dan period. The three walls are also inlaid with large crystal plates, the light on them is flowing, the information is flashing, Su Aotian looked at it for a while, and found that it was nothing more than some requests for demon pills, herbs, refining materials, etc., as well as recruiting people to go to a certain place, similar to the guilds and recruiting offices in those cities in Qinglong Prefecture, but it seemed that the two were combined. However, what made Su Aotian feel strange was that the tasks on the crystal board were all demon beasts and demon pills, and there was no word for fierce beasts, Su Aotian knew that if he said too much, he would lose, so he made up his mind not to ask more, and listened to what these people said first.

However, after listening to it for a while, these people were either laughing, or they were talking about some adventure experiences, and what kept bursting out of their mouths was also how a certain level of demon beast was, what kind of cherished medicinal materials and so on, and some people made obscene jokes, causing bursts of laughter. Su Aotian couldn't see any useful information, so he walked to the counter and carefully looked at the tasks displayed on it.

A beautiful female cultivator behind the counter, who only cultivated to build a foundation, saw Su Aotian coming over, and took the initiative to greet him: "The seniors have a task that suits their hearts, and the juniors will register it for you?" Su Aotian said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take a look first." "After looking at it for a while, these demon beasts, medicinal herbs or something, I have never seen them, and it is not beautiful to ask too much, but there is a recruitment task that arouses his interest. This task is to recruit ten Jiedan monks to escort a batch of supplies to Luomei Villa, and the reward is ten low-grade spirit stones. Su Aotian planned to take over this task first, so that he could communicate with the fellow monks to see what useful information he could get from them, and he could also familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and situation first. It's just that this task also evoked his unpleasant memories of Lingcui Villa, Su Aotian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and quickly forgot about it.

This task showed that there were still three places that had not been filled, so Su Aotian pointed and said, "This task still needs manpower, register it for me." The beautiful nun said, "Yes." Seniors have accepted missions in this guild before?" Su Aotian said, "No. The nun said, "Then you have to trouble the seniors to wait a while, and the juniors will register for you first." Then he asked Su Aotian's name, sect, etc., and Su Aotian said a few words of nonsense except for his real name, only saying that he was a casual cultivator and came from a small mountain village. The nun didn't ask in detail, but asked him about his attribute level, etc., and after inputting the aura into a bronze medal, the bronze medal emitted a glow, and the goddess's consciousness surged, and after pouring it into the bronze medal for a while, the light disappeared. Then he handed the bronze medal to Su Aotian and said, "Okay." The seniors have no previous record of serving in the guild, so they can only be registered as bronze mercenaries, and when the seniors complete more tasks, they will be promoted according to merit. ”

Su Aotian asked, "Do you have any branches in other cities?" The female cultivator said in surprise: "Seniors are ascetics, and they can't come here for the first time?" The guilds in Chengtian Prefecture are all one, and they can accept tasks with mercenary cards, not only in Chengtian Prefecture, but also in the other three states. If the seniors have become successful and don't want to be mercenaries, you can return the mercenary card and destroy the seniors' information. Su Aotian didn't expect to show his feet as soon as he spoke, so he had to smile and say, "Exactly." This is my first time in the guild, and if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it. The nun said, "It's all right. Seniors and what questions do you have, despite the commands. ”

Su Aotian didn't dare to ask anymore and said, "It's nothing." I don't know when I will leave?" The female cultivator took out another jade plaque, handed it to Su Aotian, and said: "The senior holds this jade plaque, and the employer will inform everyone of the specific matters of departure after the manpower is full, and then the senior only needs to come here to hand over the jade plaque." If you don't have a place to stay in the city, you can wait here, and the cost here is much cheaper than the inns in the city. Su Aotian took the jade plaque first and said, "I'll wait here for a few days, and if it's a long time, I'll go out for a walk." With that, he found an idle table and sat down, closed his eyes and listened to the nonsense of the others.

Most of these mercenaries are casual cultivators, living a life of licking blood all day long, and it is rare to have leisure to be full of nonsense, Su Aotian listened to it for a long time and had no useful information, so he had no choice but to leave the mercenary guild and go out to find a cheap inn to settle in. After moving in, Xiao Er came to serve, and Su Aotian asked him about some situations. Hearing Su Aotian's inquiry, Xiao Er came to the spirit, sprinkled with enthusiasm, and his mouth was like a river, and he was very happy to say the general situation of the city, the nearby terrain and landforms, and the cultural anecdotes, if it weren't for the shopkeeper's beckoning him to do things, I was afraid that he couldn't finish talking about it. After he said so much, Su Aotian also had a preliminary impression of Dongqingcheng.

After settling down, Su Aotian stayed at home and waited for the notice. After a few days, the light on the jade plaque flickered, and the monks who had accepted the task were notified to gather at the west gate early tomorrow morning, and set off together after assembling.

After a while, everyone arrived, and the ten monks of the Jiedan were in charge according to the level of cultivation, and one monk of the late stage of the Jiedan took the lead, and the rest of the people were matched according to their attributes, and they were simply divided into three teams, the front, middle and back, and Su Aotian, the monk of the early stage of the Jiedan, who had a low cultivation, was unsurprisingly arranged into the pathfinder. Su Aotian also felt helpless, although this is Chengtian Prefecture, not Qinglong Prefecture, the environment has changed, his situation is still the same as before, and he can't do any good things, he often rushes to the front line, acting as cannon fodder.

It's just that the cultivation realm pays attention to cultivation, whoever has the biggest fist is justified, and since his own cultivation can't be used, he can only accept his fate. Su Aotian didn't say much, silently accepted the task, and explored the path with another earth-attribute early stage cultivator. This person's spiritual roots belong to the earth, but he is very talkative, and he soon became enthusiastic with Su Aotian, talking non-stop along the way. Su Aotian released his divine sense to investigate carefully, and talked with him over and over again, learning about some situations sporadically.

At first, there was no incident for two or three days, and then the team entered the mountainous area, and everyone became alert, even the earth spirit root monk who was exploring the way, and there was a lot less talk. Su Aotian noticed that there were many fierce beasts in this mountain along the way, but the level was not high, that is, the Dan period was very good, and he didn't say anything, but was secretly on guard. The farther he went, the fierce beasts came out to attack from time to time along the road, and every time Su Aotian deliberately pretended not to find it, it was the monk of the earth attribute who took the lead in issuing a warning. Each time he shouted, "There are monsters!"
