Guo Shier understood what A Handsome Old Man was worried about. Entering Gu Mi Continent was the most dangerous place. They would have to face the siege of countless hotshots on the altars. Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan weren't a problem, but Guo Shier's group was in danger. This was the real reason why A Handsome Old Man wanted to increase Guo Shier's competence.
A Handsome Old Man continued, "I can help you control the other sacrificial treasures, but you have to use the Moon Blade yourself. It's rank 5, so it's hard for you to control it well. Only when you reach the fourth level of the altar can you control the Moon Blade perfectly. That way, you can use the full power of the Moon Blade. Your competence will increase by at least thirty percent."
Guo Shier nodded. He knew that his control of the Moon Blade wasn't perfect. Most of the time, he just relied on the power of the Moon Blade to slash. He didn't use any techniques. It wasn't that he didn't like it, but his competence wasn't enough. He said, "Alright, we'll increase our power in the shortest time possible."
Falconer walked into the room and said, "Shier, I'll guard outside. If you need anything, just call me..."
Guo Shier smiled. "Alright, Uncle Falconer, this is for you." He took out two refined soul beads and handed them over, saying, "These are refined soul beads, they can quickly increase soul power, and are a little different from the previous soul beads, they were refined by the handsome old man. This time, I also want to fuse with some soul beads, when the time comes, come in and sit beside me."
Falconer nodded. "Alright." He was so excited. "I'm about to level up. Just a little bit more. Haha, with these two soul beads, I can level up smoothly. I've prepared the materials. Too bad... we don't have enough time this time. I don't have A Handsome Old Man to help us."
Guo Shier said, "Increase your soul power first. This trip to Gu Mi Continent will be very dangerous. The more power you have, the more you can protect yourself."
Falconer said, "I'll sit by the door. Call me if you need anything." He turned around and closed the door.
Guo Shier exhaled in relief. "Let's begin!"
A Handsome Old Man smiled. "Eat a soul bead first." A light cyan soul bead flew in front of Guo Shi 'er. It was only the size of a thumb, and it emitted extremely pure soul power.
Guo Shi 'er was slightly surprised and asked, "Is this also a refined soul bead? Why is it different from the bead you took out earlier? "
The handsome old man said, "Nonsense, these are refined from the souls of altar-level professions, and there are only two of them. What do you think they are? If the Hawk Devil eats it, his soul will explode. If you eat it … you can barely digest it, but you still need to use your soul fluctuations to regulate it. "
Guo Shier said, "Yeah, this soul bead contains an extremely powerful soul. No wonder … It's refined from the souls of altars." He swallowed it in one gulp. After staying in this world for a long time, his ideas from his previous life had changed. Now, he didn't mind devouring other people's souls. If he had just reincarnated, he wouldn't have been able to accept it.
As soon as the soul bead entered his soul, it stirred up a storm. Guo Shier felt his entire soul boiling. He couldn't help but shout, "Holy sh * t! It's so f * cking powerful …" Then, he started to chant scriptures. He felt like he was grilling on a bonfire. His entire body was about to be cooked.
Outside the altar, A Handsome Old Man wasn't affected much. However, he could feel the changes in Guo Shier's soul. He felt lucky. If it wasn't for Guo Shi 'er's mystical soul fluctuation, this soul bead would have been enough to destroy Guo Shi' er's soul.
Repeatedly chanting the soul scriptures, waves of soul fluctuations began to adjust his soul. Each fluctuation would calm down a little. After a while, Guo Shier's soul gradually calmed down. The power of the soul bead also gradually melted and fused with his own soul.
Falconer could feel the soul fluctuations from outside the door. He walked in without hesitation and swallowed a soul bead. He sat down next to Guo Shier. This was his benefit. Although his potential wasn't bad, without Guo Shier's soul fluctuations, he wouldn't be able to reach his current level. He understood this very well.
After a full two days, the two of them finally woke up.
Guo Shier was surprised to find that his soul had improved a lot. If he couldn't quickly form the fourth layer altar, this soul force would gradually dissipate. It would be difficult to advance in the future. Shi Yan hurried to ask, "A Handsome Old Man, how is it?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "Soon, soon … Don't rush me. Just wait for a while. We will work hard together. You should take a rest and eat. Once I start to build the altar, I won't eat or drink for several days."
Guo Shier left the altar in the room. At this moment, he couldn't move the altar. A Handsome Old Man controlled the altar completely. He had built the foundation of the fourth layer. He needed Guo Shier to join hands with him for the next step. Anyway, it was Guo Shier's altar. Without his participation, they couldn't level up.
"Uncle Falconer, let's go to the yard to eat something."
Falconer smiled and agreed. His harvest wasn't less than Guo Shier's. This soul bead had reached his goal. The next step was to build the altar as well. He had collected all the materials he needed to build the second layer. However, he didn't have time to focus on leveling up. If he could take his revenge in the Gu Mi Continent this time, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the second layer of the altar.
The two walked out of the room and went to the yard. They saw Luo Jie and the others sitting under a tree. There was a table with all kinds of food on it. They had bought all of them in Wild City.
Guo Shi 'er cheered and said with a smile, "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Ha-ha, it saves me the trouble of cooking." He flew to the table, picked up a piece of cooked meat and ate it. Luo Zhan smiled and scooped a bowl of hot soup for him. He said, "Nan You bought this. Haha, this guy had a fight outside."
Falconer also grabbed a piece of cooked meat. While eating, he asked, "Who did he fight with?"
Luo Zhan said, "An ignorant professional of the Gu Mi Family. He should be a Great Saint Master. Nan You beat him up."
Luo Jie raised his head and asked, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Nan You smiled bitterly, "This is Wild City. We can't kill people randomly …"
Qi Nanshan said, "It's good to kill him. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."
Nan You knew that these people hated the Gu Mi Family. However, he didn't hate them too much, so it was hard for him to kill them. He said, "I hit him with a Soul Shock. If nothing unexpected happens, he won't be able to reach the altar level in the future. Isn't this worse than killing him?"
Luo Jie said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. This time, I learned that the Gu Mi Family has been recruiting altar level professionals in many places. It seems like they are guarding against us. Haha, as long as we can sneak into the Gu Mi Continent, I believe … this family will be finished."
Luo Zhan said worriedly, "We don't know how many altar level professionals they have. If there are too many of them, it will be hard for us to win."
Guo Shier drank a mouthful of hot soup and said, "Uncle Luo, don't worry. Once some altar level professionals die, those hired experts will immediately retreat. They won't risk their lives for the Gu Mi Family. It's not worth it."
Qi Nanshan said, "We need to disguise ourselves a little so that the Gu Mi Family won't recognize us." He took out a few black cloaks with hoods on them and said, "When the time comes, everyone will wear these. I believe … no one will recognize us."
Luo Jie stared at Guo Shier for a while and asked, "Shier, are you going to rank up?"
Guo Shier nodded and said, "In a few days. So before I leave, I won't leave this courtyard."
Nan You couldn't help but smile bitterly. Guo Shier's rank up speed was really fast. It seemed like he could easily build an altar. According to his past experience, it would take at least half a year to a year to build an altar layer. However, Guo Shier had completely broken this rule. He didn't know that it was because Guo Shier had a super diligent assistant in his altar who had already solved most of the problems for him.
Luo Jie nodded and said, "Yes, there are about ten days left. Can you rank up in this time?"
Guo Shier said, "It's not a big problem. I have already laid the foundation."
Luo Jie said, "That's good. I hope it won't delay our departure time. This is a rare opportunity. Otherwise, it will be hard for us to sneak into the Gu Mi Continent."
…
Ten days later, Guo Shier completed his rank up as scheduled. Although it was still a little unstable, with A Handsome Old Man silently adjusting it, Guo Shier didn't need to worry about it.
A flying car stopped above the courtyard. Luo Jie and the others put on black cloaks and black masks to cover their heads. The six of them flew into the air and entered the flying car. Inside the flying car was Wan Ruoyu. She brought two Professionists with her to escort them to the meeting point.
Wan Ruoyu was a little confused seeing everyone's heads covered in masks. However, she was smart enough not to ask. She only signaled for her subordinates to start the flying car and fly towards the meeting point.
Luo Jie asked, "How many people are hired this time?"
Wan Ruoyu answered, "I don't know about the other branches, but our branch has eleven people."
Guo Shier asked, "Including us?"
Wan Ruoyu answered, "Of course. This time, the Altar level experts hired by our branch are the strongest." She was very happy. Because she introduced Luo Jie's group to the Mercenary Association, she received a big reward that could be exchanged for some urgently needed materials. Six Altar level experts weren't that easy to hire.
A moment later, the flying car landed. Wan Ruoyu smiled, "We're here, please!"
Walking out of the flying car, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. There was a huge teleportation formation here, several times bigger than the one in Nathan City. It was a bit similar to the one in Gu Hirong Clan. Countless flying cars rose and landed, and groups of people walked out of the flying cars.
Guo Shier pointed at a group of people not far away and asked, "Are they all Professionists going this time?" At a glance, there were at least a hundred Altar level Professionists. There was also a large group of normal Professionists following them, many of which were Great Saint Masters.
Luo Jie frowned, "Their strength isn't high, but there are a lot of people." He turned around and asked, "Are they all going to Gu Mi Continent?"
Wan Ruoyu smiled, "This is only one group, a group has already gone."
