Things are going well. Li Yuanchun explained his intentions to the old man named Mu Tuo, and even if Mu Tuo completed the formalities and handed Xia Yan a blue mercenary medal, he didn't even need a handling fee.
Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, someone is really easy to handle. If brother Li Yuanchun didn't know this person, the assessment would have to be delayed for at least ten days and half a month.
Of course, what Mutuo gave Xia Yan was only the lowest first-class mercenary medal.
Inside the blue medal, a word 'one' is inlaid in it.
Mercenaries are also divided into nine grades, one, two and three poles are blue medals, four, five and six are yellow medals, seven and eighty-nine are red medals.
Mercenaries with red medals are rare! If you want to upgrade from a first-level mercenary to a seventh-level mercenary, you need to complete many difficult tasks. Many mercenaries lost their lives in the process.
The missions in the mercenary hall are also divided into nine levels. Generally speaking, mercenaries will accept tasks according to their own strength. Although advanced tasks can also be claimed, doing so may not be a good thing. Without enough strength, even if you receive advanced tasks, you cannot complete them.
The task cannot be completed after receiving it. Mercenary points will be deducted.
One hundred mercenary points are required for a first-level mercenary to be promoted to a second-level mercenary. Level 2 mercenaries need 1,000 points to upgrade to level 3. To advance from a third-level mercenary to a fourth-level mercenary, 10,000 points are required. By analogy, the higher the level, the harder it is to upgrade. Of course, the higher the task level you complete, the higher the points you get and the richer the rewards.
"If you have time, you must ask me for a drink! It's been half a year, haven't we had a drink together? Hehe, have a drink with you, have a good time!" Mu Tuo patted Li Yuanchun on the shoulder and said loudly.
Li Yuanchun immediately said: "It's a deal, I'll find you when I deal with my brother's affairs!"
After Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun bid farewell, they left the room where the mercenaries were registered.
"With this little medal, Xia Yan, if you buy a yard in the city, you can save tens of thousands of gold coins at least!" Li Yuanchun said with a smile, pointing to the blue medal in Xia Yan's hand.
Xia Yan also smiled, "Yeah!"
"Brother, then let's go to the temple to buy a house now?!" Xia Yan wanted to get these trivial matters done as soon as possible, preferably within one morning.
"Okay, now go to the temple. The temple is only two streets away from the mercenary hall, and we will be there in a flash." Li Yuanchun said with a smile.
"Hush..."
At this moment. Suddenly, a mercenary with a yellow medal on his chest rushed in from outside, and then whispered 'shh' to everyone nervously!
Many mercenaries all looked at him!
"Red Soldier, here we come!" The mercenary said in a low voice to everyone with an excited look on his face.
"Red soldiers?!" Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat.
When those mercenaries heard these two words, their faces shook, and some of them even shook their bodies violently.
"Red soldiers are mercenaries above level seven, who have red medals!" Li Yuanchun was also shocked, and immediately told Xia Yan beside him in a concentrated voice.
"Why are these mercenaries so nervous when they hear the word "red soldier?" Xia Yan frowned in confusion.
The mercenaries in the hall were talking and laughing loudly just now, but at this moment, there was silence. Even those staff members looked towards the gate with their eyes wide open.
Before Li Yuanchun could speak, a figure flashed in from the gate. This person was wearing a black robe with bright eyes. After entering, he casually glanced at the hall. Then he walked quickly towards the counter. The breath is calm, but there is a murderous aura looming on his body. Only mercenaries walking on the edge of life and death can condense this kind of murderous aura that is as real as it is!
Everyone held their breath and looked at the red medal mercenary who had just entered.
"The status of the Red Soldier, to a certain extent, is higher than that of the Hall Master!" Li Yuanchun whispered to Xia Yan, "If it is a ninth-level Red Soldier, hehe, even if the Temple Master sees you, you must Three points of respect. According to rumors, the ninth-level Red Soldier and the Holy Emperor of the Holy Land can talk and laugh."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's body shook violently.
The status of the Red Soldier is simply too terrifying!
"The president of the mercenary hall is a ninth-level red soldier. And the number of nine-level red soldiers in the entire continent is probably no more than five. I have only heard of ninth-level red soldiers, but I have never seen them. Hehe, even seventh-level red soldiers are rare." Li Yuanchun's voice was very low.
"The real high-level mercenaries are all elites who have survived the experience of life and death. Everyone has a good fighting style. Even if the strength is lower than yours on the surface, you may not be able to defeat him!" Did not stop.
Xia Yan listened and nodded from time to time, Li Yuanchun was right. Strength can't just be seen on the surface, some people are good at attacking and killing. Even if the superficial strength is a little weaker, once you make a move, you can often kill your opponent with one blow.
The mercenaries I met in the Sin Forest before were all low-level mercenaries. The real high-level mercenaries are elites who often go deep into the evil forest for hundreds or even thousands of miles!
The kind of person who fights with ferocious beasts, even powerful spirit beasts!
When meeting people from the Dark Night Continent, they will fight to the death!
The Red Soldier submitted the task very quickly. After only a few breaths, he submitted the completed task, took a piece of paper from the staff, and left. That piece of paper is obviously the reward for the mission.
From the beginning to the end, he did not greet the mercenaries here, nor did he stagnate in any way.
Likewise, no one came forward to greet him.
It wasn't until the red soldier left that the people in the hall began to discuss again.
"Let's go!" Li Yuanchun turned to Xia Yan and said.
Xia Yan nodded quickly.
The appearance of the red soldier just now shocked Xia Yan a lot.
"The last time I went to the Sin Forest to practice, it helped me a lot in cultivation. Although the number of battles was not too many, it greatly improved my experience and spirit! In the future..."
Xia Yan is also human, so of course he hopes to become a Red Soldier! Xia Yandu saw the expressions of the mercenaries when the seventh-level red soldiers appeared just now.
If one day I can do the same...
The procedures for buying a house are very simple, in Purple Leaf City. There are also quite a few vacant houses built by the temple. After signing the agreement and paying the money, Xia Yan successfully got the key to the yard.
The original price of the house was 120,000. Because of his status as a mercenary, Xia Yan bought it for less than 110,000 gold coins, saving more than 10,000 gold coins.
The yard is not big, with a main hall, two wing rooms, and a kitchen. Compared with the small courtyard of the Xia family in the past, the area is about twice as large.
"Xia Yan, now you go back to the academy and take out your salute. Then go to Fangshi to buy some necessities. As for me, I will leave first and come to you after the assessment in a few days!" Li Yuanchun looked at the yard, Turning around, he said to Xia Yan.
"Okay, bro, go get busy!" Xia Yan said with a smile!
I just bought the yard, and the rooms are empty. Some furniture and other things have to be bought now.
Although Xia Yan is not worried about spending money, buying these trivial things makes Xia Yan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Who should I ask to help buy it?!" Xia Yan sat down in the yard, shaking his head a little sadly.
If you ask him to buy it himself, he probably won't be able to do it. It’s okay to buy a single item, but you have to buy so many bits and pieces...
"Forget it, let's work together for a few days first, and take time out in a few days to write a letter to pick up Xiaoqing, and let Xiaoqing rearrange this yard!"
In the end Xia Yan let out a sigh of relief and gave up!
"Take out the box first, so I don't have to go to the academy before the special academy assessment." Xia Yan walked out of the yard and locked the door.
In the past, there was no need to lock the door at Xia's house, but now it's different!
Around this yard, there are often strangers coming and going. If you don't lock the gate, you will lose something if you don't keep it clean.
Touching the Lingluo ring in his hand, Xia Yan called out 'Grandpa Holy Emperor' twice in his heart, but the old man Shenghuang still did not appear. A lot of time has passed since the last time I showed up.
Xia Yan didn't know why the old man Shenghuang hadn't shown up!
For this alchemy, Xia Yan must have the guidance of the old man of the Holy Emperor, and it will get twice the result with half the effort.
After moving the box from the college to his small courtyard, the earth dog naturally followed Xia Yan to the small courtyard. Xia Yan took out the heart of clear water, and then took the address given by the dean, and ran to the address along the alley.
Xia Yan's small courtyard is also in the west of the city, not very far from Ziye College, it would probably take a little more time for ordinary people to walk. For a cultivator like Xia Yan, this distance is not considered a distance.
The landlord on the note is Dongcheng, and the distance from Xicheng to Dongcheng is not close. If it is an ordinary person. It is estimated that it will take at least an hour to get there.
The address was very remote. After arriving in Dongcheng, after passing through more than ten small alleys, Xia Yan saw a relatively obvious mark on the address.
"It should be nearby, look for it carefully!" Xia Yan said with bright eyes.
"I really don't understand why you want to live in such a remote place!" Xia Yan muttered, "Master's friend is really not an ordinary person. An ordinary person must open a shop directly on the street, so as to have more business. And this People, actually live in this corner, where do you go to pick up business?!"
Shaking his head, Xia Yan went from house to house to check carefully.
Some doors were locked, Xia Yan jumped on the wall.
The earth dog also jumped up and down following Xia Yan's figure, very happy.
"Keng... Keng... Keng..."
One sound came faintly into Xia Yan's ears, very rhythmic.
"There is the sound of iron striking ahead!" Xia Yan's face was filled with joy, he couldn't help speeding up, and ran towards the direction of the sound.
After half a cup of tea time, Xia Yan came outside a small courtyard. The sound of iron striking came from this yard.
The gate of the courtyard was ajar, Xia Yan looked in through the crack of the door, a man with bronze skin exposed from the top of his body was swinging a huge hammer, beating a sword embryo in front of him!
