This tavern is nad Tianxiang Pavilion. It looks quite standard. Although it's not the most luxurious in the entire Nanping County City, it's still a high-end place.
Lin Chen casually found a seat near the window, ordered a few dishes and wine, and began to enjoy his al leisurely.
The tavern is the place with the most people and the most noise, where one can gather all kinds of information, which is also one of the reasons Lin Chen ca in to eat.
At this mont, he heard a middle-aged man say to the people at his table:
"You guys have no idea. I heard that just two days ago, a rcenary group found a thousand-year-old Fire Cloud Zhi in the Magic Beast Mountain Range! That's a priceless treasure, even for strong individuals at the divine realm!"
His companion was also showing a surprised expression upon hearing this, and chid in:
"A thousand-year-old Fire Cloud Zhi? That's indeed a heavy treasure!"
The two n spoke quite loudly, and others also heard it. Among them, there were those well-inford who began sharing their tidbits, and soon everyone was all talking at once.
"Isn't that the truth? But obtaining such a treasure like the Fire Cloud Zhi cos with a hefty price! I also heard that the rcenary group that got the treasure was almost entirely wiped out by a giant python, only a few lucky ones escaped!"
"Alas! The losses were heavy to obtain that Fire Cloud Zhi!"
"You can't say it like that. Our Nanping County borders the Magic Beast Mountain Range, where magical beasts roam rampant. Even in the outer areas, divine-level beasts appear, let alone the inner parts and the most dangerous core areas of the Magic Beast Mountain Range!"
"But danger and opportunity coexist. Such a vast mountain range also nurtures many treasures, and those beasts themselves are considered precious materials, so many rcenaries camp long-term below the Magic Beast Mountain Range! Losing their lives in pursuit of treasure is the most normal thing to a rcenary!"
"Indeed, rcenaries live a life licking blood off the edge of a knife. The risks are high, but the rewards are also very considerable. Haven't you seen that at the far south of Nanping County, all the rcenaries gather there? So of them are not very clean, but once protected by a rcenary group, even the city guards of Nanping County cannot confront them directly!"
"That's right. I think rcenaries live quite freely; I even want to beco a rcenary!"
"Hahaha! With your skills, becoming a rcenary might only last a day before you run back with your tail between your legs!"
"Hahaha!"
These words triggered a burst of laughter, while Lin Chen's eyes flickered as he had already acquired the information he wanted.
"The Magic Beast Mountain Range? The far south of Nanping County? The gathering place for rcenaries, huh? I suppose I must take a look!"
Thinking this, Lin Chen settled the bill, didn't linger, and headed south.
This ti, Lin Chen was no longer walking leisurely but was dashing rapidly. After roughly half a day, Lin Chen arrived at a certain place.
Before him stood a massive building, and the people inside all seed to carry injuries, looking like a place for rest and recuperation.
In the open ground outside the building, many figures gathered, mostly in small groups chatting, among whom were quite a number of divine realm individuals, making Lin Chen's expression turn a bit serious.
"White Wolf rcenary Group! Short of three people, the mission is to slay three Black-scaled Tigers! Anyone else want to join? Departing in an hour, those who want to join should hurry up!"
Suddenly, a burly man shouted loudly. His voice, wrapped in divine source, reached everyone's ears.
Seeing this, Lin Chen grew a bit curious and thought to himself:
"They're recruiting? The White Wolf rcenary Group? Those Black-scaled Tigers are not easy to deal with; their strength has reached above the divine realm, and they want to slay three. In such a team, I'm afraid I won't gain any benefit!"
With the White Wolf rcenary Group's man speaking, it seed to trigger others, and other rcenary groups began shouting, looking for reliable teammates. For a while, the large open ground beca quite lively.
It's known that while rcenary groups have fixed mbers, many tis those mbers may not be available, or perhaps the mission rewards don't move them, and the difficulty also affects whether these mbers participate.
So many tis, rcenary groups recruit temporary teammates after taking on a mission just before execution. As long as one's strength ets the requirents, one can join and eventually receive their share of the reward according to the criteria.
At this ti, many people on the field were shouting loudly, making Lin Chen beco indecisive, not knowing which team to join. Besides, Lin Chen thought his seventh-level spirit warrior strength was really not significant here.
In such a dangerous place as the Magic Beast Mountain Range, each rcenary group generally has more than one divine realm expert in it. So powerful rcenary groups have five or six divine realm experts or even more!
So their mission targets are mostly aid at divine realm magical beasts or other tasks of equivalent difficulty; Lin Chen did not want to join such rcenary groups.
On one hand, because with too many people, Lin Chen didn't want too many knowing his true strength. On the other hand, with too many people, doing his own thing would be troubleso, making Lin Chen a bit hesitant.
Just when Lin Chen didn't know how to choose, suddenly a few figures ca into his view.
He saw that leading them was a middle-aged man of the divine realm, and beside him were two n whose strengths had not reached the divine realm, along with a beautiful woman.
At this mont, they were looking around, seemingly searching for suitable teammates.
Then Lin Chen, after so thought, directly walked over.
"Excuse ! May I join your team?"
Upon hearing his words, the few people turned to look at Lin Chen, and the middle-aged divine realm man frowned slightly, saying:
"Young brother! Our task this ti is sowhat challenging. The requirent is that one's strength should reach the eighth level of spirit warrior to join. I see your cultivation seems to be only at the seventh level of spirit warrior, right? I think you'd better find other tasks that suit you; this task isn't very suitable for you, it might be a bit beyond your capabilities!"
