Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 408
It's a group of alchemy monks. In terms of cultivation, they have both early, middle and late stages.

"Brother, our chance has come!"

"After receiving the support from Dongzhou, the Illusion Sect will move in a short time, and launch an offensive against the Huangquan Army in the name of regaining lost ground!"

"At that time, the Yaksha Wasteland will inevitably be empty behind..."

There was a young man with yellow temples wearing a bamboo hat and kudzu clothes, with an excited expression on his face at this moment, and said to a middle-aged man in a white robe with an elegant face.

"Really?" The elegant middle-aged man in white robe was surprised.

"The Spiritual Illusion Sect sent troops, if that's the case...Brother, then we can't miss this opportunity!" Said the fat man next to him who was wearing black iron armor with bulging muscles and was as fat as a ball.

"That's right! It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, let's start early!" the young man with yellow hair said again.

"Wait, don't rush this matter." The elegant middle-aged man shook his head and rejected the proposal of the two. Seeing their puzzled faces, he had no choice but to explain: "With our three brothers alone, even if we successfully entered the depths of the wilderness, Definitely can’t get it... In my opinion, it’s better than this..."

The middle-aged man spoke in a quieter voice, obviously afraid that others would overhear.

After listening to it, Lu Zhong looked thoughtful.

If what the young man with the yellow temples said is true, then the opportunity for him to sneak into the Yasha wasteland and obtain the treasure left by Xuanyang can be said to be close at hand.

At this moment, in my mind, I recalled the conversation between the three of them.

"During the conversation of the three just now, they said that they were going to form a team. Maybe I can borrow one or two of them. After all, the situation in the Yaksha Wasteland is complicated. Instead of breaking in and attracting unnecessary attention, it is better to follow along like this. A team, presumably should be prepared, they will be ready, there is no need to work too hard, it is obviously worth a try!"

Lu Zhong thought about it, and looked in the direction the three of them were leaving.

Soon, the bill will come out as soon as it is answered.

Ten spiritual stones for the quarantine agency, rent for three years and thirty, chocobo maintenance for twenty, good light armor magic weapon, a pair of one hundred and twenty, plus some food for the chocobo, the total is two hundred spiritual stones .

This amount of money is not small at all.

From the attendant's excited expression, one can tell that if there is no accident, he will definitely get a commission from it. Naturally, the more the guests spend, the more excited they are.

Lu Zhong paid quickly, and asked casually:

"You guys, where is the place to gather people?"

"Master Huixian is on the north side of Chengguan District. You only need to go out and turn left, and walk straight to the white wall of the inner city. You will see a Biwa Hall, which is the location of the Mercenary Guild. You can call there Manpower." The attendant restrained his excited expression and replied truthfully.

Mercenary Guild?

Lu Zhong nodded and rewarded the other party with a spirit stone.

After getting such a piece of spirit stone, the servant's face almost burst into laughter. This is his monthly money, so his attitude became more cordial, probably better than treating his parents.

"Fairy Master, please follow me, your chocobo is right ahead."

Follow him and soon come to a shady place.

Lu Zhong glanced at his chocobo.

Compared with before, this chocobo named "Yellow Feather" can be said to have changed a lot. It is wearing a layer of matte silver light armor. The feathers looked extraordinarily mighty, like a bird general.

"Gee! Goo! Goo!"

Seeing Lu Zhong, "Huang Yu" cried out excitedly.

"Master Immortal, this chocobo of yours is really a relative. I guess it's not far from recognizing the Lord, right?"

"almost."

Lu Zhong replied, and then turned on the bird.

He tried it, and found that after changing his outfit, the saddle was much more stable, and there were more places to mount weapons. Moreover, the light armor was well made, and the counterweight was specially adjusted. The center of gravity was very suitable for "Huang Yu ", can reduce its burden while providing protection.

"Yes, it's worth the money!"

Lu Zhong laughed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw several wooden boxes piled up beside him, all of which were chocobo favorites.

Kohlrabi, cabbage, cucumbers and more...

After collecting them together, he headed towards the mercenary guild.

As the attendant said, he soon arrived at the Yibiwa Hall.

Lu Zhong glanced left and right, and found that there was an open space on the right side of the main hall, with rows of carved stone pillars, where many birds and animals had been tied up, obviously a special "parking space".

He doesn't need to do it himself, just throw a spirit stone, and someone will do it for him.

After entering the guild, it was bustling with people, as lively as a vegetable market.

After seeing it, Lu Zhong realized that the mercenary guild here is not only responsible for issuing missions, but also acts as a middleman to bridge the transactions between monks. Those noisy voices just now came from the bargaining and receiving mission window. , On the contrary, it is much quieter.

Regarding the mercenary union, as an old monster who has rich experience in transforming gods, he knows what the operation process is without asking.

So he went to a window.

"Hi senior, what are your needs?"

Inside the window, a peach-faced woman in a low-cut skirt said with a sweet smile.

"I want to register as a mercenary."

"Okay, please pay the handling fee for the ten spirit stones. There is also this form, senior, please fill it out as truthfully as possible. This is related to the guild's rating of your strength." Said the peach-faced woman from the counter. He took out a form and handed it out the window with both hands.

Lu Zhong gave ten spirit stones, took the watch and looked at it.

"Register as a mercenary, is there any limit to accepting missions?"

"Sorry, the guild does have such a rule that you can only accept missions at will when you reach the alchemy stage, otherwise you have to accumulate contributions to prevent unnecessary casualties, so please forgive me, senior!" The peach-faced woman apologized from her seat. He stood up, bowed and said.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong glanced at the task bar next to him, and saw the three people just now.

An elegant middle-aged man, a young man with yellow temples, and a fat man in iron armor.

The three of them stood next to a notice stating a call for manpower.

Requirements: At least the alchemy stage, good at fighting skills.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhong filled in the early stage of alchemy in the column of cultivation.

The cultivation of pill formation may not be considered low in Qinghe Realm, but in Xiaolinghuan Realm, it is not too high. Just like the mercenary guild in front of you, it can be said that pill formation is everywhere. Among the more than a thousand people in the hall, At least, there are nearly a hundred people whose cultivation base has reached alchemy.

It is not difficult for Lu Zhong to guess the purpose of gathering so many pills.

It must be related to the Illusion Sect.

Where are mercenaries most needed?
Nature is the battlefield.

"Ah, Jiedan!" The peach-faced woman exclaimed, but she quickly realized that her behavior would bring trouble to Lu Zhong, and quickly bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, Senior Chen, but this junior lost his temper. Please forgive me, junior, I will register your identity for you!"

At this time, footsteps approached.

"This fellow Taoist, would you like to accept employment?"

Lu Zhong turned around and found that the elegant middle-aged man was talking, and there were two other people behind him, so he glanced at the three of them before saying:
"If the money given is enough, I will naturally be willing."

He didn't ask what he did specifically. After all, mercenaries had always been paid for their work, and almost all of them were blood-thirsty people. There were no missions they couldn't participate in, only prices they couldn't afford.

Just as the elegant middle-aged man was about to speak, the peach-faced woman at the window called out:
"Senior Chen, your identity has been registered, this is a mercenary token, please keep it!"

Lu Zhong nodded, and took the token into his hand.

He glanced at it. It was a piece of sapphire token. The craftsmanship was similar to that of a jade slip. It could store information. It contained the basic information he filled in, as well as mission experience.

Currently: zero.

"Chen Daoyou, can we talk in detail over there?"

The elegant middle-aged man spoke at this moment, pointing to the teahouse road not far away.

"can."

Lu Zhongben came for them, so there is no reason not to agree.

After everyone sat down, the elegant middle-aged man played a formula to open the restriction in the teahouse to create a private space, and then he took out a contract.

"The next thing to talk about, since it involves some secrets, please also sign this non-disclosure agreement."

Lu Zhong took a look and found that there was no problem.

After the two parties signed the agreement and the elegant middle-aged man confirmed that it was correct, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Let me introduce myself, Mei Shumo, the acting head of the Meishan faction, this is my second brother Huang Bin'er, and This is my third younger brother, fellow daoists, just call him Iron Ball."

"I have seen two fellow Daoists!"

Lu Zhongchong and the two of them bowed their hands one by one, and reported their names.

"I'm next, Chen Dong."

"Meet fellow Daoist Chen!"

"I met Daoyou Chen."

"So it's Daoyou Chen, it's like this..."

Under the premise that Lu Zhong signed the agreement, Mei Shumo began to talk about the purpose of recruiting people this time, but it was to go to the depths of the Yasha wasteland to retrieve something lost on the battlefield.

"The Meishan seal is the token of the Meishan faction, and it is very important to me."

It turned out that the Meishan Sect was also a vassal of the Zixia Sect, and later migrated to the territory of the Illusion Sect, but because of the loss of the Meishan Seal, which was the only token that could confirm its identity, it could not be recognized by the Illusion Sect and was not assigned for a long time. Available places to live are currently drifting.

The current known whereabouts of Mei Shanyin is in the Yaksha Wasteland. .

As for the reason, it was because thousands of years ago, when the Zixia Sect was finally destroyed, all the forces had been assembled and there was a bloody battle with the Huangquan Army. Unfortunately, it ended in a disastrous defeat. The head of the Meishan Sect who was recruited at that time also Therefore, he fell here, and Mei Shanyin was buried with him.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Zhong murmured in his heart.

The Yaksha Wasteland was once the site of the Great War.

Then, will the Xuanyang relics I was looking for still exist?

According to that document, the location where Xuan Yangzi buried his treasure happened to be on the edge of the battlefield, a place called Moon Moon Mountain.

When the war broke out, the two-day pattern in the sky had not yet been formed, and the strength of the monks had not been weakened. The fight could be said to be devastating, enough to sink mountains, seas and lands.

On the side, Mei Shumo saw that Lu Zhong was silent, so he couldn't help asking:
"Chen Daoyou, what doubts do you have?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong thought for a while, organized his words and said:
"Fellow daoist, Chen came to Beiliu Mountain this time because he knew the news, and he also wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of the Yasha wasteland to find the lost things of the master's school. I don't know how the situation is there. If The mountains and rivers have been hit so badly, it is estimated that the thing cannot be found, and Chen will naturally not venture in."

"So that's how it is. You and I have similar goals..." Mei Shumo accidentally glanced at Lu Zhong, then at the other two, and waited for them to nod before smiling wryly, "Fellow Daoist, you are really worrying too much, you may not know that A secret, the reason why Zixia Shangzong failed back then was because of unexpected factors!"

"Just like today, when the unknown accident happened, the strength of both sides of the battlefield was greatly weakened. Except for the cultivators who have transformed into gods and above, they can maintain a little strength, and everyone else is like ordinary people."

"That's why we, who originally had the upper hand, were defeated by Huang Quan!"

Having said that, Mei Shumo sighed heavily.

If it wasn't for this battle, he wouldn't have been displaced and forced to stay under the fence.

Immediately afterwards, he added:

"So, there is a high probability that the battlefield area is still well preserved! I just don't know if the thing that fellow Taoists need is a magic weapon, or a valuable thing that can be seen at a glance. If so, then don't bother too much, it will probably It was searched by Brother Huang Quan. It seems that the Meishan Token I am looking for, in the eyes of outsiders who don't understand, is at best a piece of broken iron, so the three of us will try to get it back."

Hearing this, Lu Zhong pretended to be relaxed and said:

"You don't need to worry about this, Fellow Daoist."

Since the two parties are on the same road, naturally there is no employment relationship.

that's it.

After making a contract that he could leave the team at any time, Lu Zhong joined the team.

After waiting for more than half a month, the team recruited three more people.

They are: a heroic female cultivator who calls herself Honggu, who is in the middle stage of alchemy; a boy with a white face who is no more than five feet tall and carries a gourd on his back, named Li Yingshi, who is in the early stage of alchemy; the last one, It is a bald Buddha cultivator "Jieyun Tutuo", whose strength is equivalent to the middle stage of alchemy.

Looking at these three people, Lu Zhong couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

I don't know whether Mei Shumo and the others have good luck or bad luck, or they went to the Yasha wasteland, there are no normal people.As a result, only four people were summoned, but all of them had concealed their cultivation.

Other than him, the three recruited were all Nascent Soul monsters.

What's more interesting is that the breath restraining skills of these three people seem to be so great that they can't see through each other's cultivation, and they all regard each other as alchemy monks.

Is it a spy, or...

Lu Zhong was too lazy to think about it, no matter what purpose they had, since the three Nascent Souls had mixed in, it would be of great benefit to him, at least he could fish for a while.

Simply get together to exchange notes.

As the initiator, Mei Shumo said at this time:
"It's still some time before the official start of the Spiritual Illusion Sect. Let's make an appointment to set off in three days. If the four of you have something to deal with, try to take advantage of this time to deal with it. On the day of departure, at sunrise, Just meet at Xianyuan Inn in Chengguan District."

Lu Zhong smiled slightly and agreed.

Taking advantage of this time, he happened to be able to take a turn.

The other three had different reactions when they heard the words.

"I have no objection." Hong Gu said indifferently.

"Haha, me too." Boy Li Yingshi nodded while hugging the big gourd.

Only Jie Yun Toutuo frowned, touched his bald head, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Mei, it will take at least ten days and half a month to go from here to the Yasha Wasteland. I think... it's better to start as soon as possible, so as not to encounter accidents on the way and delay the time to enter?"
