Chen Ning calmed his agitated heart down. Then, he opened the Azulet Sword Technique with his mind. After reading it, Chen Ning opened his eyes and muttered to Nan Nan, who was at a loss."Why does this book only have four levels?”It's divided into the Embryonic Breathing Mirror, the Spirit Movement Mirror, the Shattering Mirror, and the Heaven and Earth Mirror. Doesn't it match the six realms from the Mystic Cultivator to the Mystic Thearch that Big Brother Black Panther told me about? Why am I missing two realms? Could it be that my fellow senior gave me an incomplete copy? " F * ck, that shouldn't be the case." Chen Ning was dumbfounded.
However, Chen Ning quickly threw these messy thoughts out of his mind. With the mentality that it was better than nothing, he began to practice according to the description of the sword technique.
"Ah…"
After practicing for half an hour, Chen Ning let out a painful scream. At the beginning, Chen Ning tried to absorb the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth according to the sword technique, but he found that he could not feel it no matter what. When he felt the Xuan Qi being absorbed into his body, Chen Ning felt warm at first, but it did not take long for the Xuan Qi to enter the meridians in his body. The originally small meridians began to swell as if they were being pressed by an external force. Chen Ning let out a miserable cry. The intense pain made Chen Ning break out in a cold sweat, and his body kept trembling.
The pain was as if someone had stabbed a steel pipe into his anus. The tearing pain almost made Chen Ning stop. Fortunately, Chen Ning was tenacious and endured the pain as he continued to circulate the technique.
After a long time, Chen Ning finally stopped sweating and collapsed onto the bed. However, there was no pain on his face at the moment. Instead, his face was full of joy. He knew that he had survived. He could feel the flow of Celestial Chi in his body. It was like seeing a glimmer of light in the darkness. Chen Ning knew that he had taken the most important step towards the immortal dream in his heart.
Ignoring the dirty stains that had spilled out of his body due to the Celestial Chi entering his body, Chen Ning adjusted his posture and continued to cultivate with his eyes closed. From his previous life, he understood that the master led the way, but cultivation depended on the individual. If he wanted to become stronger, he had to work hard.
Chen Ning spent the whole night practicing the Azulet Sword Scroll. When the sun rose slowly and the faint red light of the sun shone into the room, Chen Ning opened his eyes. The night of practice did not make Chen Ning feel tired at all. Instead, he felt more energetic. He felt that his strength was obviously greater than before. Even his vision became clearer. He could see the buildings and dust outside the window clearly as if they were right in front of him.
All these changes came from the Azulet Sword Technique, which made Chen Ning even more determined to cultivate it.
By the time Chen Ning left the room, he had already taken a shower and changed into his own clothes. He went to the mirror in the room and saw a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His long black hair was tied behind his back. Although his simple linen clothes were worn out, they were clean and three-dimensional. Chen Ning was in a good mood. He even posed a few times in front of the mirror. After feeling proud for a while, he went out to look for Heibao.
Black Panther was about to look for Chen Ning when he bumped into Chen Ning who had just left the house. He immediately said,"Brother Chen, I was just about to look for you. Let's go. I'll take you to a place today.”After saying that, she pulled Chen Ning out of the inn.
The two of them arrived at the main street of the Heaven's Wall City. Although it was early in the morning, the Heaven's Wall City was already bustling with activity. All kinds of pedestrians walked by and the sound of business was heard.
The Heaven's Wall City was not a complete place for cultivation. There were also a large number of mortals living here. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. They seemed to be unrestrained, but in fact, they were the lowest existence in the Profound Sky Land where the strong preyed on the weak. From time to time, soldiers and mercenaries would pass by the city.
The two of them went to a bun shop and sat down. They ordered some food to fill their stomachs. Black Panther pondered for a while and said to Chen Ning, who was eating a bun,"Brother Chen, let me ask you, are you willing to follow me and become a mercenary?”He looked at Chen Ning.
"Brother, why are you suddenly asking me this?”Chen Ning, who was eating a bun, was stunned. She did not expect Black Panther to suddenly ask her this question.
"Don't ask why, just tell me if you're willing or not. You have to think about it carefully. Once you become a mercenary with your brother, you might get a lot of benefits, and you might even die without a burial place.”
Ignoring the stunned Chen Ning, Black Panther continued to ask.
"I'm willing. As long as you trust me, I'll follow you.”Chen Ning pondered for a while and said slowly. Although Chen Ning had obtained the Azulet Sword Scroll and started his own cultivation path, he wanted to travel around the Xuantian Continent. It was obvious that becoming a mercenary was a good choice. More importantly, he recognized Black Panther and treated him as his big brother from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, good. Brother Chen, from now on, you will follow me. If I have a bite, you will have a bite too. Hurry up and eat. After eating, we will make a trip to the World Chamber of Commerce.”Black Panther seemed to have received a satisfactory answer. He was in a bad mood and laughed loudly.
After finishing their meal, the two of them appeared at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce. From Black Panther, Chen Ning learned that the Chamber of Commerce was also a huge force in the Xuantian Continent. It was not inferior to the Saint Dynasty and the Four Celestial Mountains. There were branches of the Chamber of Commerce in every corner of the Xuantian Continent. Many forces had tried to attack the Chamber of Commerce, but they were all mysteriously destroyed. Gradually, everyone became extremely afraid of the Chamber of Commerce. No one dared to cause trouble in the Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the World Chamber of Commerce was also the place where all mercenaries received orders. The employer would place orders in the World Chamber of Commerce, ranging from one star to five stars. One star was a simple escort like Minister Wang of the Immortal Town. One star was the lowest and five stars were the highest. There was even a saying in the Xuantian Continent that as long as you had enough money, you could even ask the experts of the World Chamber of Commerce to do anything for you. Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to be able to provide the things that those experts needed. However, the things that each expert needed were different. Some of them needed money. Money was divided into copper coins and gold coins in the secular world. Generally, those below the two-star level needed to pay with gold coins and copper coins. Those above the two-star level needed to pay with magnetite, crystal stones, and spirit stones. This was because the missions below the two-star level were generally not difficult. Magnetite, crystal stones, and spirit stones were divided into high-grade, middle-grade, and top-grade. They were used by cultivators for cultivation. Magnetite was the lowest grade, and spirit stones were the best. The better the quality of the magnetite, the purer the spiritual energy contained in it, and it was much faster for cultivators to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, copper coins were the common currency in the secular world, and what circulated among cultivators were magnetite, crystal stones, and the like. Spiritual stones were too scarce, so they were usually in the hands of those big forces.
Although it was early in the morning, the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce was already bustling with activity. Countless people were coming in and out of the place. There were groups of mercenaries and merchants with their servants. Black Panther brought Chen Ning to the hall and stopped by a window."Old Huang, please help my brother get a mercenary token.”Black Panther smiled at an old man sitting by the window.
" Name? What's your cultivation level?"
The old man sitting by the window obviously knew Black Panther as he asked in a lukewarm manner.
"My brother's name is Chen Ning. As for his cultivation, you can write it down as a fifth level cultivator. As for the test, there's no need for it.”Black Panther smiled at the old man as he took out a gold coin and handed it over.
"Aiya, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the main thing is that this is the rule. Cough cough, what are you doing?”
The old man rejected the offer righteously. However, when he saw Black Panther take out the gold coin, a subtle smile appeared on his face. He then quickly put it into his pocket. His hands were fast and his hands were skilled. He finished it in a blink of an eye." F * ck, there's such a thing? It's really easy to get things done with money. Since when did I become a fifth stage cultivator? Also, Brother Black Panther is quite rich. One gold coin is equivalent to a hundred copper coins." While he was surprised, he also felt warm in his heart. Seeing Chen Ning's dumbfounded expression, Black Panther chuckled and raised his eyebrows, as if he was telling Chen Ning to learn from him.
As the saying goes, money makes the work easier. This was true. In less than ten minutes, the old man handed Black Panther a black iron token. It was the size of a palm, and the two words Chen Ning were engraved in the middle. Beside the two words was a line of small words in the fifth level of the mystic realm. Black Panther handed it to Chen Ning and said,"Brother Chen, you're a mercenary now. I'll go find my brothers first, and then I'll return to the inn in the afternoon to teach you the cultivation method I'm cultivating. If you have nothing to do, you can go around and wait for me at the inn in the afternoon.”
The two of them parted ways after leaving the Chamber of Commerce. Black Panther went to look for his brothers. Chen Ning, on the other hand, had nothing to do, so he went to the street where he bought the jade pendant again. No matter what, all his opportunities were thanks to the white-haired old man. He wanted to give the seventy coins to the old man to calm his heart.
However, when Chen Ning arrived at the street, the old man was nowhere to be seen. He searched everywhere but could not find him. After searching for a long time, he could not find Chen Ning, so he had to give up. Just as Chen Ning was about to return to the inn, a man's voice came from a carriage and stopped him." Hey!" Little brother, I didn't expect to see you here.”Chen Ning looked at the person who had called out to him. It was a young man dressed in white. He looked to be in his twenties and was extremely handsome. His face was like a crown, and he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was looking at Chen Ning with a smile on his face. It was obvious that the person who had called out to him was the man in the carriage.
Chen Ning felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before. After a moment of recollection, he remembered that this man was the man in white who had helped them out of trouble in the restaurant that day. Why is he here too? But it's all thanks to you that day, or else I would be in trouble. He said,"It was all thanks to Young Master's help that day, helping me and my brother out of the predicament. "After saying that, Chen Ning extended his hand and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Little brother, you don't have to be so polite. It was just a little effort, not worth mentioning. However, little brother's words about a real man doing something and not doing something made this one quite admire it.”Obviously, the man in white only smiled and did not care about Chen Ning's gratitude. It was obviously a small matter to him.
"I have nothing to do, so I'm walking around." Chen Ning paused for a moment before replying with a smile.
"Since there's nothing else, this one would like to boldly invite little brother to take a walk with me at the World Chamber of Commerce. Today, the World Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction once a week.”The white-robed man continued to ask.
Chen Ning thought for a moment and nodded at the man in white's invitation. He was fine anyway, and it was all thanks to him that day. Chen Ning could not refuse his kind invitation.
Under the invitation of the white-robed man, Chen Ning sat in the same carriage as the other party. Chen Ning learned that the other party was the eldest son of the Ouyang Clan in the Heaven's Wall City, Ouyang Xin. The Ouyang Clan was one of the six major clans in the Heaven's Wall City and had a huge influence. The head of the clan, Ouyang Ke, was the Minister of War of the Jason Kingdom and had great power. Even the City Lord would not offend the Ouyang Clan. Guan Jie, who had a conflict with Chen Ning that day, was also the butler of one of the six major clans. Although the butler was not an official in the court, However, the head of the housekeeper, Divine Engineer Guan, was one of the few third tier Armament Masters in the Jason Kingdom. Armament Masters were extremely rare in the Xuantian Continent. This was because Armament Masters required the cultivator to be born with a Pill Fire in their body to cultivate. It could not be formed after birth. Therefore, Armament Masters were the most popular occupation in the Xuantian Continent. The weapons in the Xuantian Continent were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Each grade was divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, and the difference between the highest grade. Divine Engineer Guan had once refined a highest grade Black Rank Spirit Weapon and became famous. Every year, countless cultivators would look for him to refine spirit weapons. He was very popular. In the Xuantian Continent, many people would rather offend a Mystic King expert than offend a Great Mystic Master Weapon Refinement Master. This was because there were too many people who wanted to find a Weapon Refinement Master to refine spirit weapons. If one offended a Weapon Refinement Master, they would casually let out a word and countless experts who wanted to refine weapons would come to take one's life to please the Weapon Refinement Master.
The two of them soon arrived at the World Chamber of Commerce. Along the way, Chen Ning heard a lot of useful things from Ouyang Xin, which increased his experience. It would be of great help to him when he traveled in Xuantian Continent in the future. When Ouyang Xin learned that Chen Ning came out of Fairies Town, not only did he not look down on him, but he also nodded at Chen Ning's neither servile nor overbearing way of talking and his talent in speaking. His good impression of Chen Ning increased greatly.
"Eh? Wasn't this the trash from the restaurant that day? Why? Ouyang Xin saved your life that day, and now you're Ouyang Xin's dog?”Just as Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin alighted from the carriage, a sarcastic voice rang out in Chen Ning's ears. The speaker was none other than Guan Jie, who had almost crippled Chen Ning and Black Panther in the restaurant that day. Beside Guan Jie was the man in green who had been with him that day. Behind Guan Jie were the two old men who had attacked him that day.
Hearing this, Chen Ning frowned slightly and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Just as he was about to retaliate, Ouyang Xin beat him to it."Guan Jie, what do you mean? Brother Chen Ning is my guest today.”
Hearing Ouyang Xin's words, Guan Jie did not restrain himself. Instead, he laughed even louder,""Aiyo, isn't this Young Master Ouyang? Why, did you lose to me in poetry that day and caused you to lose face in front of Qing Yixuan?”After saying that, he immediately let go and laughed loudly, not caring about Ouyang Xin at all, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Hearing Guan Jie's words, Ouyang Xin's originally calm face became slightly angry. Just as she was about to refute Guan Jie, Chen Ning snorted coldly.
"That mad dog is barking wildly here…"
