Walking into the city, Lin Yufeng couldn't help but was slightly stunned. Although this city is not big, there is still a lot of people. It is not an exaggeration to use the words "busy traffic" to describe it. Everywhere is full of noises and shouts.
Cultivators, businessmen, children and people from various professions can be seen everywhere. Lin Yufeng couldn't help but secretly sigh at the prosperity of Tongcheng, which was far more lively than the ancient village selection competition.
This was his first time coming to the city, so he was naturally quite curious and amazed.
After a rough sweep of Tianlei's soul power, he suddenly discovered a dozen or so quite powerful auras. Some of the auras even made Lin Yufeng feel a trembling feeling in his heart. He was even more surprised. He thought that this Tongcheng was also strong.
A place where people gather
"No wonder Tongcheng has been able to exist on the outskirts of the ancient forest for so long. Is there probably a strong man at the level of a spiritual king in Tongcheng?" Lin Yufeng thought slightly.
During the past few days of traveling, Qing Zhan also told Lin Yufeng some knowledge about the Lu Kingdom. Even if he looked at the entire Lu Kingdom, the powerful Ling King would not exceed ten fingers!
Of course, whether there is a strong Spirit King in Tongcheng is just Lin Yufeng's guess. Anyone who can build a city outside the ancient forest must have a strong person in charge.
Qing Zhan, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around, smiled apologetically at Lin Yufeng, and said, "Brother Yu Feng, I'm really sorry for what happened just now."
"It's okay, it's all over." Lin Yufeng shook his head
Qing Zhan looked around and saw Ye Zihuowu and others arranging the animal skins. He immediately walked next to Lin Yufeng and whispered: "Yu Feng, that Ling Yue must have formed a quarrel with you just now. You should be more careful in the future."
"
Lin Yufeng thought for a while and asked: "What is Ling Yue's strength?"
When he was at the city gate just now, he was only thinking about what happened, but he forgot to use the thunder soul power to check Ling Yue's cultivation.
After hearing this, Qing Zhan's face became a little solemn and he said: "I'm afraid that my strength has reached the seventh or even eighth level of the spirit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yufeng raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "So strong?"
During the conversation with Qing Zhan, he also learned about the ranking of Tongcheng's strength. At the sixth level of spirit, he is already a pretty good cultivator. As for the sixth level and above, he is already among the top.
Based on the cultivation level of the eighth level of Ling Yue Lingren, if the estimation is not wrong, he must be able to rank among the top ten in Tongcheng.
"As a commander, that guy is really not weak," Lin Yufeng said to himself.
With his current third-level spiritual strength, even with the three trump cards of Tianlei Origin, Physical Treasure, Taixu Ancient Book, etc., it is difficult to have a 30% chance of winning.
After all, the three aces are all just starting out, and even against a cultivator at the sixth level of the spiritual realm, Lin Yufeng would still have a hard time.
Of course, although it is impossible to compete with Ling Yue for the time being, Lin Yufeng has a lot of confidence in escaping. Besides, don't forget that he also has You Fei, a super killer.
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Qing." Lin Yufeng nodded solemnly: "I will pay more attention in the future."
His current strength is only mid-range in Tongcheng. Facing Ling Yue, a strong man who is ranked in Tongcheng, there is still a lot of gap.
At this time, Ye Zilieyang and others also tidied up the animal skins and walked towards them.
"Little brother, we are going to the mercenary club to hand over the task. Would you like to come with us? Maybe you can consider joining our mercenary group."
Qing Zhan patted Lin Yufeng's shoulder and chuckled.
Hearing that Qing Zhan wanted to recruit Lin Yufeng to join the army, Ye Zi was also a little excited: "Brother Yu Feng, please join us. It will be very exciting to perform mercenary missions!"
Lieyang and Huo Wu also looked at Lin Yufeng with hopeful eyes. After all, they knew Lin Yufeng's strength very well. A spiritual person who could kill a first-level spirit beast in one move was enough for them to respect.
Lin Yufeng smiled and refused: "Uncle Qing, I'm used to being free on my own, and I don't like doing this kind of mercenary mission"...
He knew that Qing Zhan was trying to get close to him, but he really didn't like to join any organization. He didn't like to be restrained by others by nature.
After a pause, Lin Yufeng said again: "Uncle Qing, I'm going to buy some things. You go and hand over the task first. I'll find you at the mercenary club later."
Qing Zhan and others were slightly disappointed. After all, it is difficult to meet young people like this. If they are included in the team, their strength will definitely improve a lot.
After wiping away the disappointment in his heart, Qing Zhan did not force himself and could only smile and nodded: "Okay, let's go and hand over the task. You can come to us after you finish the purchase."
After that, he pointed out to Lin Yufeng the location of the mercenary club and the stores in the city.
After Lin Yufeng knew the location, he said goodbye to Qing Zhan and his party for the time being.
Following the direction pointed by Qing Zhan, he found the grocery store, bought some daily necessities, and then threw them all into the Qiankun Ring.
Then he was about to set off for the Mercenary Association. Passing by a clothing store on the road, Lin Yufeng stopped hesitantly, rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then walked into the clothing store.
As soon as I walked into the clothing store, I was greeted by a pretty maid. She said with a sweet smile: "Master, what clothes do you want to buy?"
Lin Yufeng smiled and said: "Do you sell cloaks here? They are the kind of coats that look like cloaks."
The maid nodded respectfully, took Lin Yufeng to a place, and asked, "What kind of cloak does the master need?"
Lin Yufeng glanced at the colorful coats on the hanger and said without thinking: "Just the black ones. I want ten pieces. You can pack them for me."
The maid was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Lin Yufeng to ask for so many items when he opened his mouth. However, she didn't ask any more questions and immediately said excitedly: "Master, please wait a moment, we will pack it for you right now."
After paying the money and walking out of the clothing store, Lin Yufeng found an uninhabited corner. After looking around, he took out a black cloak and threw the rest into the Qiankun Ring.
Putting on the cloak, it felt quite suitable. Lin Yufeng adjusted the clothes and said with a smile: "Not bad, but the sleeves are a bit long. There is a hat on the back of the cloak, which can be used to cover it if it rains."
At this time, Lin Yufeng looked like a sword in a sheath, hiding its edge and giving off a cold and unrestrained temperament.
He bought this thing so that he can travel around the mainland. The Longfeng Sword behind him is a rare treasure. If it is seen by some discerning people, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
And because of You Fei, he couldn't put the sword in the Qiankun Ring, so he had to carry it with him. Moreover, this black cloak was easy to hide. If you didn't pay attention, you would not know that Lin Yufeng had a peerless sword tied to his waist.
The most important thing is that in battle, it can also give the opponent unexpected and fatal attacks. This is why Lin Yufeng wants to buy this kind of clothes.
Of course, Lin Yufeng's white shirt was knitted by his mother with so much hard work, and he didn't want it to get damaged.
In general, wearing a black cloak does give Lin Yufeng a lot of benefits.
"It seems that there is no money left. It seems that we have to go to the pawn shop. Uncle Qingzhan and the others should have almost finished handing over the task. I have to hurry up and can't keep them waiting for a long time." Lin Yufeng thought for a moment and thought in his heart
He thought of the various store addresses Qing Zhan told him. After searching for a while, he finally found the pawn shop. Lin Yufeng looked up and saw a plaque on the door of the pawn shop that read: 'Tongcheng Pawn Shop'
After a slight hesitation, Lin Yufeng's consciousness moved, and a slightly larger cloth bag appeared in front of him. He picked up the bag and stepped inside.
Seeing a guest coming in, an old man over sixty years old hurriedly came out to greet him, smiled kindly at Lin Yufeng and said: "This little brother, what do you want to do?"...
Lin Yufeng also smiled and said hello to the old man. He must be the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, "It's just some spiritual cores and animal skins. Shopkeeper, just give me a suitable price."
After saying that, he put the cloth bag on the table and opened it. Inside was some spiritual cores and animal skins.
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised and looked at the young man in front of him curiously. It was not that he had never seen so many spirit cores and animal skins before, but it was a bit shocked that these spirit cores and animal skins appeared on such a young boy.
He didn't think that this boy, who looked less than eighteen years old, could hunt so many things by himself.
However, it was only a brief surprise. The shopkeeper returned to his original calm appearance and said with a slightly respectful tone: "Little brother, these spiritual cores of yours are all first-level low-level and intermediate-level spiritual cores. Each low-level spiritual core costs 100 gold coins. The intermediate ones cost 100 gold coins each."
Each one is worth 200 gold coins and the hides together are worth 500 gold coins."
After a pause, the shopkeeper calculated carefully and said: "Brother, you have a total of 8 first-level low-level spiritual cores, 5 intermediate-level spiritual cores, and 13 animal skins. If you want to pawn them all, the total will be 2,300 gold coins.
, I wonder if you are satisfied?"
Lin Yufeng didn't expect that he could sell it for so much money. When he was in the ancient village, he didn't use gold coins much, so he didn't have a big idea about money.
However, 2,300 gold coins is not a small amount. Most people do not have this kind of income in a year. Lin Yufeng soon nodded in agreement and said: "Shopkeeper, I will pawn them all."
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. This young man didn't bargain like others. You know, spiritual cores are quite rare. Some first-order spirit beasts cannot be condensed at all. Only second-order intermediate spirit beasts and above can successfully condense them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some special first-order spirit beasts can also be successfully condensed, but they are much inferior to the spiritual cores of second-order spirit beasts.
Although as a pawnshop owner, I have seen the spiritual cores of first-order spiritual beasts in recent years, but this is the first time I have seen so many at once.
The shopkeeper ignored Lin Yufeng's refusal to bargain and directly put away the bag, then took out a heavy bag of gold coins and handed it to Lin Yufeng respectfully.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." After thanking Lin Yufeng, he picked up the bag and walked out directly.
After seeing Lin Yufeng's back disappeared, the shopkeeper was silent for a moment. After a moment, he said to himself: "This young man seems to be not simple. He can actually take out so many first-order spiritual cores at one time. It seems that he must report it to the superiors."
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind the shopkeeper. Perhaps because of the darkness, people could not see his true face clearly.
"The city has not been peaceful recently. You should pay more attention to this mysterious young man," the black shadow said in a low voice.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded respectfully.
——
Walking out of the pawn shop and throwing the bag in his hand into the Qiankun Ring, Lin Yufeng clapped his hands and said to himself with a smile: "I finally have some savings now. Uncle Qing should be waiting for me at the mercenary club. It seems I have to hurry up."
Suddenly, there was a wave of fluctuation in my mind, and You Fei's light, sweet but cold voice said: "Someone was watching you just now."
"I know" Lin Yufeng responded. With his thunder soul power, as long as his strength is not higher than that of the Spirit King, he can also observe it.
Lin Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "People who shouldn't come will still come. Try to be more careful in the future, but if they bring me trouble, I won't be polite."
You Fei did not reply. She knew that Lin Yufeng was not an easy loser. With Lin Yufeng's current strength, if he did not meet a strong person above the seventh level of the Spiritual Body, he would still have a chance to fight. But if he met a strong person above the Spiritual Guard level,
Even if you can't beat him, at least you'll have plenty of chances to escape.
Moreover, Lin Yufeng also has You Fei, a terrifying trump card, but Lin Yufeng does not want You Fei to help until the critical moment. After all, her identity is too special, and being seen by some interested people will cause a lot of trouble...
After asking some pedestrians on the roadside, he found out the address of the mercenary association. Lin Yufeng smiled and thanked him, then disappeared under the doubtful eyes of the man.
The mercenary club was in the north of Tongcheng. In order to hurry up, Lin Yufeng quickened his pace. Soon he arrived at the mercenary club. He looked up and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
This mercenary association is quite grand. Perhaps because there are many mercenaries around, the mercenary association looks heroic and passionate.
"Although this mercenary life is dangerous, it is very exciting. If I were not in a hurry, I would definitely experience what it is like to be a mercenary."
Lin Yufeng sighed slightly, surrounded by burly mercenaries, handing in tasks, taking tasks, and forming temporary teams everywhere.
After a rough sweep with the power of the thunder soul, there were quite a few souls of the fifth level, and there were also a few above the fifth level. Some of the auras even made Lin Yufeng feel a little dangerous. It seemed that they should be souls of the eighth level or above.
Yes, of course, the majority are those with five-star or lower spiritual beings.
"I didn't expect that the mercenary guild in this small town would be of such a scale. Even the door guards have a second level of spiritual beings."
Lin Yufeng looked at the big man standing expressionless at the door, exuding murderous aura and holding a huge ax in his hand, so that no one around him dared to look directly at him.
"What would it be like if it were a mercenary association in a big city?" Lin Yufeng sighed slightly. These guards are elites selected from a hundred, and they are not comparable to ordinary cultivators.
Lin Yufeng tidied up his messy black cloak and slowly walked into the mercenary club under the cold gaze of the guard.
As soon as he entered the spacious hall, he didn't have time to sigh at the grand scale of the mercenary club hall, when he saw a group of people watching something.
Hesitating slightly, Lin Yufeng pondered for a while, then walked over and heard a burst of noise. When he pricked up his ears, he suddenly heard some sounds that were quite familiar.
Lin Yufeng frowned slightly: "It seems that things are a little troublesome?"
