The quiet night quietly slipped by. When the sky had just brightened on the second day, Tian Lingxuan, who was in a deep sleep, opened his eyes punctually. This period of living outside had already allowed him to adjust his biological clock to an extremely reasonable level.
After a night of deep sleep, the exhaustion that seeped out from his bones had completely disappeared. In its place was a vitality that was full of vitality.
At the entrance of the town, there were already many mercenaries gathered there. They were shouting and calling out to the lone mercenaries who wanted to enter the mountain.
The mercenaries in the small town were roughly divided into three types. The first type was the mercenary groups that had already formed a tight organization. There were only three such mercenary groups in Qingshan Town. Each of them had around a hundred people. The strength of the members was mostly above that of a Dou Zhe. Moreover, it was rumored that the leaders of the three mercenary groups were all experts of the Dou Shi class. They could be said to be one of the strongest factions in Qingshan Town.
The second type of mercenaries were temporary mercenary groups. These groups would usually disband after completing a mission. The trust and tacit understanding between each other were far inferior to those formal mercenary groups.
The third type of mercenaries were those who traveled alone. These people usually had some life-saving trump cards.
The mercenaries who were shouting at the entrance of the town belonged to the second type.
Standing in a corner, Tian Lingxuan did not immediately join any mercenary group. Instead, he waited for the Little Fairy Doctor's group.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the town. An excited shout sounded,"The Ten Thousand Medicinal House is about to enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range to pick medicinal herbs. The Little Fairy Doctor will also be accompanying them. There are only fifty spots, and their strength must be above that of a two star Dou Zhe. Everyone, hurry up!”
The loud shout caused the noisy entrance of the small town to become slightly quiet. A moment later, everyone looked at each other for a moment. The mercenaries who believed that they had met the conditions immediately rushed towards the middle-aged man wearing the Ten Thousand Medicine House uniform.
Staring blankly at the mercenaries who had suddenly gone crazy, Tian Lingxuan blinked his eyes. He mused for a moment before he desperately squeezed into the crowd.
Tian Lingxuan used his agile body to quickly squeeze to the front and said to the middle-aged man,"I'll go!"
The middle-aged man also noticed Tian Lingxuan." You're still so young. This Magical Beast Mountain Range isn't a place you should go!”
"I'm a nine-star Dou Zhe!" Tian Lingxuan said indifferently.”Tian Ling Xuan understood that he needed to hide a little. However, even a nineteen-year-old nine star Dou Zhe was able to shock the noisy scene until it was completely silent. However, in the next moment, this silence was replaced by ridicule.
"This kid, he doesn't even bother to draft his words when bragging. He doesn't even think about how there is a nineteen year old nine star Dou Zhe.”A burly man laughed loudly.
"Brat, go, go. This is not a place for you to play. Your mother is calling you home for dinner!”A short and wretched man said.
"Forget about us, if you can find a nineteen-year-old nine star Dou Zhe in the entire empire, I will cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball!”A person said confidently.
Tian Lingxuan looked coldly at those mocking gazes. He just turned around and walked out without saying anything. When he reached a big tree, he looked at the crowd that was still squeezing there and slapped the big tree. Boom! The big tree fell. Tian Lingxuan stood there quietly, looking at the crowd that was trying to escape." This should be enough, right?”Clapping his hands, Tian Lingxuan laughed coldly at the stunned crowd.
"Tsk tsk, little brother Xiong's talent is really strong. He has actually trained to a nine star Dou Zhe at such a young age. He is simply a genius.”Nodding his head in amazement, the middle-aged man smiled at Tian Lingxuan and said,"Alright, the last person will be you. The mercenary's remuneration is five hundred gold coins. You will be paid half of the remuneration for escorting the safety of our Ten Thousand Medicine House's herb-picking team back and forth.”
"Alright." Tian Lingxuan smiled and nodded. He did not care about the five hundred gold coins as a reward. He only needed to obtain the Little Fairy Doctor.
When they saw that the last spot had been snatched away by this little fellow who had appeared out of nowhere, the surrounding spectating mercenaries could only leave resentfully. However, they did not forget to cast a strange gaze at Tian Lingxuan as they left.
To be able to become a nine star Dou Zhe at the age of nineteen, this kind of talent was rare even in the entire Emma Empire, let alone Qingshan Town!
In the quiet forest, a large group of people walked quietly. Pairs of vigilant eyes constantly swept across the dark places in the surrounding trees. Their hands tightly gripped the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
As a veteran mercenary who had been in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for many years, even though this was their first time working together, they were able to maintain a basic tacit understanding. When they exchanged glances, they could also discern some signals that represented danger and safety from each other's eyes.
At this moment, this delicate beauty, who was called the Little Fairy Doctor, had just straightened her body slightly. The back of her hand gently wiped the sweat on her forehead. Her slightly panting manner, coupled with her gentle and beautiful face, caused one to feel tender love for her.
When they saw the Fairy Doctor reveal this manner, some of the surrounding mercenaries immediately had the impulse to carry her to their destination. However, they also knew that even if they wanted to carry her, the Fairy Doctor would only politely decline with a smile.
A handsome young man walked out from the guards by the side with a smile on his face while everyone's eyes gathered on the Little Fairy Doctor. He lowered his head and said something to the panting Little Fairy Doctor.
The two of them chatted for a while before the Little Fairy Doctor smiled and shook her head. After which, she continued to rush forward.
The face of the young man did not reveal the slightest anger after being rejected by the Little Fairy Doctor. He smiled faintly, waved his hand and cried out,"Wolf Head's men, pay attention. We're about to enter the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Don't fail in the gutter!"
"Yes, Young Guild Leader!"
The surrounding dozens of large men immediately responded in unison when they heard the young man's cry. Their orderly voices attracted the attention of everyone, including the Little Fairy Doctor who was walking forward. He also glanced back.
He was very satisfied with this reaction. The young man smiled. He took two quick steps again. He walked side by side with the Little Fairy Doctor. He protected her with great eagerness.
"Damn it. Wasn't it just because his father was the captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company? Could it be that he thought that he could obtain the Fairy Doctor's heart just by doing this?”Seeing the young man who was able to get close and chat with the Little Fairy Doctor. A mercenary man beside Tian Lingxuan. He immediately cursed in a low voice. In his tone. The sour smell is very strong.
He narrowed his eyes. Tian Lingxuan's gaze swept across the youth. In the end, it stopped at a badge on his chest. Inside the badge. It was carved with the head of a one-eyed wolf.
His gaze skipped over the young man. He looked at the 30 mercenaries with the same badge. Tian Lingxuan blinked. It seemed like…These people. It should be the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, one of the three major mercenary companies in Qingshan Town.
Looking at the degree of protection these Wolf Head Mercenary members gave to the herb gathering team. Clearly, they were also guards hired by the Thousand Medicine House. Moreover…It seemed that the Ten Thousand Medicine House trusted the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. They were much stronger than the scattered soldiers in front of them. Otherwise…They wouldn't have let them be his personal guards.
He slowly retracted his gaze. Tianling Xuan could only wait, wait for that time.
He stomped heavily again. They headed towards the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
Outside the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Everything was still calm. However, not long after the group entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a small scale Magical Beast attack cruelly appeared in front of Tian Lingxuan.
The attackers were three Class 1 Magical Beasts called Scarlet Ice Snakes. This type of Magical Beast was quite common in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. It had the attribute of ice, and the ice contained frost poison. If the poisoned person is not treated within half a day. The blood in the body would be frozen by the cold poison until death.
Three Class 1 Magical Beasts, Scarlet Ice Snakes. As he hung on the tree trunk, he took advantage of the fact that the people below were not prepared and easily injected the cold poison into the bodies of the three mercenaries in a lightning-like manner. Immediately, the hands and feet of the three men, whose faces were as pale as ice sculptures, became ice-cold.
Everyone immediately attacked in anger after being attacked. A moment later, the three rank one Magical Beasts were beaten to death as expected. However, after killing the three rank one Magical Beasts, they were unable to find even the slightest trace of a Monster Core within their bodies. The mercenaries could only sigh with some regret in this regard. It was not rare for them to return empty-handed after paying a heavy price for killing a Magical Beast. Therefore, they were not too disappointed.
After the Scarlet Ice Snake was dealt with, the three mercenaries who had been poisoned by the cold poison were swiftly sent to the medicinal gathering team at the back. The Little Fairy Doctor personally helped them expel the cold poison from their bodies.
After the Scarlet Ice Snake's attack, the mercenary group, which had suffered a loss once, became even more cautious. However, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was densely packed with Magical Beasts, it was clearly impossible to completely avoid the Magical Beasts.
The group had not even traveled five hundred meters when they were attacked by three waves of Magical Beasts. Fortunately, the mercenaries had the advantage in numbers. At the cost of a dozen mercenaries suffering light injuries, they repelled the three waves of Magical Beasts.
Tian Ling Xuan, who had nowhere to hide in the exploration team at the front, also directly participated in a battle. During a head-on collision with a rank two Magical Beast, Tian Ling Xuan casually sent it flying a few steps away with a palm strike. His body flipped a few times before it stopped moving.
The strength that Tian Lingxuan displayed at this moment undoubtedly made the surrounding mercenaries look at him in a different light.
"Little brother Xiong, you're amazing. You can actually kill a snake tailed leopard that is famous for its strength with a single palm!”
"Tsk tsk, he's already so strong at such a young age. What will happen in the future?”
"Ha ha, this little fellow is the youngest person in the group but his strength is a nine star Dou Zhe, right? Looking at his strength, it's indeed true."
The cheers of the surrounding mercenaries caused a small commotion in the team. In this circle where status was determined by strength, as long as you showed a shocking strength, you would be respected by others. This was a very simple and direct rule!
Facing these cheers, Tian Lingxuan only smiled casually. There was no coquettishness or pride in his smile. He just followed the group and continued to silently walk towards the herb picking location.
"Everyone, we are close to the herb picking area. Please take a rest. After walking for so long, everyone is tired.”The lady's soft and crisp voice suddenly sounded in the quiet group after they had walked for a distance.
Their advancing footsteps paused slightly. The entire group came to a halt in unison. They turned their heads and looked at the white-dressed lady, whose smile did not contain the slightest impurity, before nodding their heads in an extremely honest manner.
After a quick discussion, a dozen mercenaries spread out to guard the surroundings. The others sat on the spot, recovering the energy they had expended from the journey.
Sitting on the ground, Tian Lingxuan slowly exhaled. With a flick of his finger, a light green Energy Recovery Pill appeared in his palm again. His gaze swept across the surroundings. Tian Lingxuan tilted his head slightly and yawned. He gently patted his mouth with his palm, and the pill was thrown into his stomach without leaving a trace.
As the medicinal pill entered his body, the medicinal strength quickly dissipated. Tian Lingxuan leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, allowing the medicinal strength to quickly replenish the Dou Qi in his body.
With the help of the Qi Returning Pill, when Tianling Xuan returned to its peak state, the surrounding mercenaries were still whispering to each other, waiting for their physical strength to slowly recover.
After muttering in his heart that having medicinal pills was a pleasure, Tian Lingxuan stood up and told the mercenaries beside him to go out to relieve himself. After which, he slowly walked towards the small forest by the side.
This was because Tian Lingxuan knew that this was his first encounter with the Little Fairy Doctor. Following Tian Lingxuan's probing, he went deeper and deeper into the small dense forest. After walking for a distance, his dim vision suddenly brightened. He raised his eyes and saw that he had already passed through the small dense forest. What appeared in front of him was a somewhat steep cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a lush green forest that was quite beautiful.
Then, he stopped in front of a plant with pale white flowers on the edge of the cliff. This plant had a faint white flower blooming. Within the faintly blooming flower, there was a scarlet red fruit that was faintly discernible. A faint medicinal fragrance was emitted from it.
Tian Lingxuan's gaze swept across the plant in detail. Without hesitation, he extended his hand toward the plant, wanting to pluck it.
Just as Tian Ling Xuan touched the plant, a small jade-like hand suddenly extended from the cliff in front of him. It also grabbed at the plant. However, it grabbed Tian Ling Xuan's hand. This person was naturally the Little Fairy Doctor.
Just as her jade-like hand made contact with Tian Lingxuan's palm, she was stunned for a moment before she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
Tian Lingxuan smiled as he looked at the beautiful face that had suddenly popped out from the bottom of the cliff. Who else could it be but the Little Fairy Doctor?
Tian Lingxuan did not speak. He only stared at the Fairy Doctor. The Fairy Doctor did the same. However, Tian Lingxuan had been staring at the Fairy Doctor's beautiful face that resembled Venus. The Fairy Doctor was simply stunned.
On the cliff, two pairs of eyes stared at each other in a daze. The scene was quite strange.
"Can you give me a hand?"
The Little Fairy Doctor took the lead to break the awkwardness after exchanging glances with each other for a moment. Her voice was a little gentle as she spoke.
Blinking his eyes, Tian Lingxuan nodded his head as if nothing had happened. He grabbed the Little Fairy Doctor's jade-like hand and exerted a little strength. The latter leaped up from the bottom of the cliff. Her body drew a beautiful arc in the air as she nimbly leaped onto the mountain peak.
"Ah!"
Tian Lingxuan had done something to the Fairy Doctor. She lost her balance and fell into Tian Lingxuan's embrace. The Little Fairy Doctor was shocked. She screamed and hugged Tian Lingxuan tightly.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Tian Lingxuan spoke in a sanctimonious manner. However, he used one hand to hug the Fairy Doctor's waist and forcefully pressed her into his embrace. He felt the softness of the Fairy Doctor's body as he ate the tofu without leaving a trace.
"Ah…Thank you."
The Little Fairy Doctor cried out when she saw that she was being hugged by Tian Ling Xuan. She softly thanked him and quickly broke free from his embrace. An alluring blush surfaced on her face. Immediately, her gaze swept over the edge of the cliff without leaving a trace. Her delicate finger brushed past the black hair on her forehead as her gaze moved over Tian Ling Xuan's face. She softly said,"You, you are the mercenary guard hired by the Thousand Medicine House, right?”
"Yes."
Tian Lingxuan recalled his earlier gentleness. He smiled and nodded. He looked at the somewhat shy Fairy Doctor and his heart blossomed with joy.
Before they left, Tian Lingxuan had beaten the Amethyst Winged Lion half to death before keeping it as his mount. It had even helped it reach the seventh rank!
