"Hehe, brother, this Vast Ocean Forest is boundless. Even if we fly in the sky, it will take us a few days to leave this place."
"These are the best rations I brought with me. Normally, I can't bear to eat them, but today, in order to repay brother for saving my life, I took them all out. Brother, don't stand on ceremony!" Seeing Xing Jue's speechless expression, the young man chuckled and explained.
"Ha, my dear brother, you are treating me like an outsider. These are already the best delicacies in the world to me."
Xing Jue chuckled. Without hesitation, he grabbed the largest leg of lamb and started munching on it. The grease in his mouth made him very satisfied.
"Come, brother, have a cup of wine." Seeing that Xing Jue was eating so happily, the young man was also very happy. He hurriedly raised his wine jar and poured wine into Xing Jue's bowl.
Xing Jue was really starving. He swept away all the wine and meat on the table. The young man did not eat much, but the more Xing Jue behaved like this, the happier he was.
Because Xing Jue saved him when so many people did not save him, he was sincerely grateful to Xing Jue and wanted to repay Xing Jue.
While chatting, Xing Jue also found out that the young man was called Jiang Tian. In terms of age, he was about the same as Xing Jue. He was not from any race, but a person with no status or background. However, he was unwilling to be a nobody.
He had a profession here, and that was a mercenary.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the Mercenary Punishment Technique. Back in the Martial Sky Continent, there had been such a profession. It was nothing more than working for someone else. However, their masters were constantly changing, and they would work for whoever gave them more money.
"Brother Jiang, do you know which direction to go to the Sacred Alliance?" After getting familiar with the place, Xing Jue asked.
"Brother Xing Jue, could it be that you are also planning to join the Sacred Alliance?" Hearing the words "Sacred Alliance", Jiang Tian's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"That's indeed my intention. It's just that I'm new here and I don't know much about this place." Xing Jue nodded his head.
"Haha, then you've found the right person. I know the Sacred Alliance very well because I'm also preparing to participate in this year's entrance test." Jiang Tian patted his chest and said proudly.
"Is the entrance examination held annually?"
"Yeah, brother, don't you know? The Sacred Alliance only recruits one batch of disciples every year, and the assessment is only ten days long. "
"Right now, there's less than a month left until the disciple recruitment. That's why many people are here to save up for the examination fee to join the Sacred Alliance."
"Examination fee? Do we need such things to join the Sacred Alliance? "Xing Jue was surprised as he had never heard Hun Ming mention this before.
"This is a new rule in recent years to prevent people with poor qualifications from causing trouble. Therefore, regardless of whether you pass or not, you have to pay the examination fee first."
"Moreover, regardless of whether you pass or not, the examination fee is non-refundable. This can be considered as an overbearing rule. However, the temptation of the Sacred Alliance is too great. Many people are willing to pay a huge sum of money to give it a try."
"So what's the examination fee?" Xing Jue did not know how the examination fee was calculated.
"10,000 Rank Five Immortal Herbs!"
"Pfft ~ ~"
When he heard this, he spat out every single drop of the strong liquor that he had just drunk.
Rank Five Immortal Herbs? 10,000 Rank Five Immortal Herbs? What did this mean? This was far beyond Xing Jue's imagination.
What was a Rank Five Immortal Herb? In the Soul Source World, treasures that could attract top experts to fight over were priceless.
However, the examination fee of the Sacred Alliance was 10,000 Rank Five Immortal Herbs. This made Xing Jue speechless. To Xing Jue, this was an astronomical figure.
"Sigh, 10,000 Level 5 Immortal Herbs. To those powerful clansmen, it's nothing."
"But to people like us who have no background, it is an astronomical figure. To be honest, I have been in the Western Saint World for ten years."
"In order to accumulate the examination fee, I have been doing mercenary missions all year round. But even so, I am still lacking," Jiang Tian was not surprised by Xing Jue's reaction. Instead, he recalled his own tragic experience.
Ten years here? This caused Xing Jue to suck in a breath of cold air. Jiang Tian was currently in his thirties, which meant that he had come here when he was in his twenties. Spending ten whole years just to pay for the exam was truly pitiful.
However, Xing Jue was a little worried. 10,000 Rank Five Immortal Herbs was also an astronomical figure to him.
However, Xing Jue did not despair because he still had a high-grade Honorable Tool.
This was the ruler forged by Dao Kunlun. Back then, it was used by the man from the Dao Clan. After it was killed by a half-step divine tool, it fell into Xing Jue's hands.
A high-grade Honorable Tool was not to be underestimated. At the very least, Xing Jue did not find anyone here using an Honorable Tool. Perhaps, that high-grade Honorable Tool could be exchanged for some Rank Five Immortal Herbs.
"Brother Xing Jue, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask." Suddenly, Jiang Tian seemed to hesitate.
"Brother Jiang Tian, if you have something to say, just say it." Xing Jue could feel that Jiang Tian was not a bad person. Thus, he did not mind making friends with him.
"Earlier, someone opened a spatial gate in the Ocean Forest. That person should be you, Brother Xing Jue, right?"
"To be honest, Brother Jiang, it was indeed me, Xing Jue." Xing Jue admired Jiang Tian's observation skills. However, he did not hide anything.
"Brother Xing Jue, where are you from? You should know that no one has opened that receiving formation for the past ten thousand years! "
After verifying his thoughts, Jiang Tian was still a little shocked. The gaze he looked at Xing Jue became even more heated. There was even a hint of reverence in his eyes.
After hearing Jiang Tian's words, Xing Jue finally understood why so many people had surrounded him when he had appeared. It turned out that he had inadvertently caused quite a commotion.
"Heh, if Brother Xing Jue does not want to say, just pretend that I never asked. Don't worry, I will definitely keep this a secret for you."
However, before Xing Jue could answer, Jiang Tian seemed to realize that he had spoken too much. He quickly explained with a smile.
As for Xing Jue, he smiled without saying anything. In reality, even if he answered, he would not tell Jiang Tian the truth.
Because the influence of the Sacred Region was too great and there was not enough power, Xing Jue did not want to reveal his identity as a member of the Spirit Eater Clan.
"Brother Xing Jue, I have to say that you are very lucky. Do you know why tens of thousands of young experts have gathered in this Ocean Forest?" Jiang Tian suddenly asked mysteriously.
"Why?" Xing Jue was also very curious.
"Because of a mercenary mission. And the reward for this mission is a total of five thousand fifth-grade immortal herbs, which is equivalent to half of the examination fee."
"Five thousand fifth-grade immortal herbs? What kind of mission is that? "
Xing Jue knew that five thousand immortal herbs might not be much for a clan like the Dao Clan.
But for someone like Jiang Tian, who had no background. For someone like him who had come from a declining world, it was an astronomical figure.
Five thousand immortal herbs had attracted tens of thousands of Asura Wu Zun here. This meant that this number was definitely not a small number, even in this place.
But more often than not, the higher the reward, the more dangerous it was. That was why Xing Jue really wanted to know what kind of mission could earn such a high reward.
"Capture a young girl with an Evil Spirit Body!!"
"What did you say? A young girl with an Evil Spirit Body? "
Xing Jue was shocked. When the Evil Spirit Body was mentioned, the first person Xing Jue thought of was Xue Mei. She was one of the people Xing Jue was most concerned about.
When Xing Jue, Xue Mei, and Hun Ming had been attacked by the meteor shower, Xing Jue had also been hit. But only his strength had been sealed, and he had not been seriously affected.
That was why the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Hun Ming and Xue Mei were most likely fine. And if they were fine, it was very likely that they would have gone to the Western Sacred World.
Perhaps because his strength was too weak, Xing Jue had been in a daze ever since the Space Gate had been opened. His senses were in a mess, and he could not remember the time. He did not know how long it had taken him to arrive here.
That was why Xing Jue could not guarantee that Xue Mei and Hun Ming were safe and sound, or if they had already arrived here before him.
But now that he had heard about Xue Mei, Xing Jue was both happy and shocked. He was happy that he had heard about Xue Mei, but he was shocked that she was wanted.
"Brother, don't be afraid. Although the Evil Spirit Body is fierce, it is just a young girl. I heard that her strength is only at the level of a mid-level Asura Wu Zun."
"Some time ago, she broke into the Bai Clan, the most powerful clan in Ocean City, and injured people there. That's why the Bai Clan has put a huge bounty on her head."
"Recently, people have found traces of the Evil Spirit Body here, and they have been attacked by her."
"That's why more and more people are coming here to capture the young girl with the Evil Spirit Body." Seeing the change in Xing Jue's emotions, Jiang Tian thought that Xing Jue was afraid, so he quickly explained in detail.
"Bai Clan? How strong is the Bai Clan? " Xing Jue was more concerned about the Bai Clan's power at the moment because he needed to know what kind of existence Xue Mei had provoked.
"The Bai Clan is just a small clan at the bottom of the Western Sacred World, but in this area, they are an overlord."
"At least, we can't provoke them because the Eldest Young Master of the Bai Clan is now a mid-level disciple of the Sanctuary Alliance. He is a low-level Asura Battle Spirit."
"Mid-Level disciple? Asura Battle Spirit? "Xing Jue was confused again.
"Heh, Brother Xing Jue, the disciples of the Sanctuary Alliance are divided into four types: low-level disciples, mid-level disciples, high-level disciples, and Sacred disciples."
"The low-level disciples are the disciples who have just entered the Sanctuary Alliance. As for the mid-level disciples, they already have a certain status in the Sanctuary Alliance."
"The high-level disciples are even more impressive. For example, the Sanctuary Alliance's sub-palace in the Western Sacred World. The high-level disciples here are the treasures of the elders."
"However, it is very difficult to become a high-level disciple because the test is very abnormal."
"I heard that the mid-level disciple test can only be passed by an Asura Battle Spirit, and the high-level disciple test requires an Asura Battle Spirit." Jiang Tian explained the ranking of the Sanctuary Alliance's disciples in detail.
