That night, Jiang Chen left the mayor's mansion and started his journey to Red city alone.
Jiang Chen had changed into a clean, spotless white robe. His hair was tied into a bun, with two strands of black hair hanging down from each side. A golden ribbon was tied around his waist, and he was holding a white paper fan in his hand. His face was delicate and handsome, and he was dressed like a young master from a wealthy family.
The distance between Fragrant Sky City and Red city was thousands of miles. Apart from the mountains, there was also a city in between. This city was called Grand Sky City, and it was about the same size as Fragrant Sky City. There were Qi Hai warriors guarding it, but compared to Red city, Grand Sky City was much weaker.
The sun was rising from the east, and soon the land was lit up. Jiang Chen walked for a day and two nights before arriving at Grand Sky City. If he wanted to go to Red city, he had to pass through Grand Sky City. If he chose to take a detour, not only would the mountain road be bumpy, there would also be demon beasts lurking around, which would delay his journey. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to enter Grand Sky City first, and then go through it to reach Red city.
Jiang Chen entered Grand Sky City, but he did not look around. He was not interested in a city that was about the same size as Fragrant Sky City, and he knew that he would not be able to find what he was looking for here.
Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to go straight through Grand Sky City and go straight to the city.
On the other side of Grand Sky City, near the city gate, there was a huge square. There would be a lot of people here every day, especially in the morning. Today, there were a lot of people, and they were all attracted by the square.
"The Mercenary Square!"
At the edge of the square, there was a huge rock that was about three meters tall. There were four big red words written on it. Groups of people were standing in different places on the square, and there were different kinds of carriages. Some of the carriages were very well disguised, and no one could tell what was inside.
"Brother, what is this Mercenary Square for?"
Jiang Chen stopped a man and asked. This man looked like he was in his thirties, and he had a strong body. He was shirtless, and he was at the ninth level of the Qi Realm.
"Fuck, you don't even know what the Mercenary Square is? Are you trying to make fun of me? Go away!"
The man waved his hand and said disdainfully.
F * ck you! What's going on?
Jiang Chen glared at him. This was the first time he came to Tianhui City, so it was understandable that he didn't know.
"You, you, and you, three Human Elixir pills each. Alright, we have enough people. Let's go."
Not far away, a luxuriously dressed old man picked three people and pulled a huge carriage out of the plaza.
Those who were picked were all in high spirits and followed the group. Those who weren't picked couldn't help but sigh. However, this situation was obviously very normal, and no one was upset. These people immediately looked for other targets.
After asking around, Jiang Chen finally understood that this Mercenary Square was a place for mercenaries to trade.
Since Tianhui City and Red city were neighbors, it was a place where caravans going to and from Red city had to pass through. Therefore, the mercenaries here were very popular. Some caravans would spend money to hire mercenaries in Tianhui City and deliver their goods safely to Red city in case of any problems along the way. The more valuable the goods, the stronger the mercenaries.
Although Tianxiang City was about the same size as Tianhui City, it didn't have the same terrain as Tianhui City. Therefore, the mercenaries here weren't very popular. Plus, the original Jiang Chen was a spoiled brat who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He never cared about the Mayor's estate, so he didn't know anything.
Looking around, the mercenary business in the square was booming. Many caravans were carefully selecting strong and capable mercenaries. There was only one caravan that was extremely quiet. Jiang Chen looked over and saw that there were only seven people in the caravan. Behind them was a simple carriage, but these seven people were all very strong, especially the old man in the front. He had a serious expression on his face, and his Qi was very strong. He was a late Qi Hai warrior. Although he was not as strong as Jiang Zhen Hai and Mu Rong Zhan who were at the peak of the Qi Hai realm, he was still very strong.
The other six people were also Qi Hai warriors. Most of the other caravans were Qi Hai warriors. These seven Qi Hai warriors standing together was very eye-catching.
"Look, that caravan has been waiting here for two days, and they still haven't left."
"Shh! Don't talk, that's the caravan from Red city's Misty Rain Tower. Do you see that old man? He is a Late Qi Hai warrior from the Yan family. I don't know what they are transporting this time, but I heard that they need eight Qi Hai warriors before they leave. They are still missing one. "
"It's not that easy to find a Qi Hai warrior. In my opinion, even if they wait another day, they might not be able to find one."
Many people were discussing.
"Brother, is the Misty Rain Tower very powerful?"
Jiang Chen asked.
The man rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen and said, "Little brother, you look like a talented man. Why are you asking such a stupid question? Everyone knows about the two most powerful families in Red city. One is the Misty Rain Tower, and the other is the Lee family."
When he heard about the Lee family, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. He then walked towards the caravan from the Misty Rain Tower. They were both powerful families in Red city, and the relationship between the Misty Rain Tower and the Lee family was similar to the relationship between the Mayor's mansion and the Mu Rong family. Jiang Chen had offended the Lee family, but the Misty Rain Tower was a good friend.
Of course, this was not the main point. The reason Jiang Chen wanted to contact the Misty Rain Tower was not to deal with the Lee family, but for himself. The purpose of his trip to Red city was to find the medicine and spiritual items that could heal his soul. The Misty Rain Tower was one of the most powerful families in Red city, so it was his target.
Seeing a young man walking towards them, a muscular man couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, are you here to join the mercenary army?"
"That's right."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"Haha, little brat, you look so fair and clean, you are not suitable to be a mercenary. You should go home and drink your mother's milk."
A bearded middle-aged man teased. The others also laughed at Jiang Chen. They could tell that he was at most 15 or 16 years old. Rich kids like him were usually cowards.
On the other hand, the Late Qi Hai warrior kept looking at Jiang Chen. His instincts told him that this young man in front of him was not simple. That calm demeanor was not something that a normal young man would have, and it was not faked either.
"This is the Misty Rain Tower's caravan. They don't look at age, only strength. Are you at the Qi Hai realm?"
The old man asked.
Boom!
An aura suddenly burst out from Jiang Chen's body. It was the aura of a Qi Hai warrior. Once this aura was released, the mercenaries stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
The others also noticed this. When they saw that the Qi Hai warrior was a young man in white, they were all shocked, especially the ones who had mocked Jiang Chen earlier.
"Damn it, where did this little brat come from? How could he reach the Qi Hai realm at such a young age?"
"I just mocked a genius at the Qi Hai realm."
…
Seeing that Jiang Chen really was at the Qi Hai realm, the old man was startled for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up, and his expression softened, "My name is Yan Meng, may I know your name?"
The old man told Jiang Chen his name. He might not care about a Qi Hai warrior, but a 15 or 16 year old Qi Hai warrior was a different story. This kind of person would be a rare genius even in the Yan family.
"Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"Alright, little brother Jiang Chen, this time we will be escorting you to the Misty Rain Tower in Red city. The mercenary fee is 20 Human Elixir, are you willing to accept it?"
Yan Meng asked.
"Brother Jiang Chen, hurry up and accept it. If you accept it, we can leave immediately. I have been waiting here for almost two days."
The man who had mocked Jiang Chen's protector hurriedly said.
"I accept."
Of course, Jiang Chen accepted the offer. He didn't really care about 20 Mortal Restoration Pills, since he was going to Red city anyway. However, he didn't know anything about Red city, and following the Misty Rain Tower's merchant group would help him learn more about Red city.
"Alright, let's go."
Yan Meng said in a deep voice. The caravan of eight people walked out of the square with a carriage in the front and back, heading towards the outskirts of Sky City.
"Old Yan, what kind of treasure are we escorting this time? Why do we need so many Qi Hai warriors?"
On the way, the man who mocked Jiang Chen before asked. His name was Wang Ting, and he was a straightforward man.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The old man next to Yan Meng stared at Wang Ting and continued on their way. In this caravan of eight people, besides Yan Meng, there were two other old men from the Yan family. One of them was at the Mid Qi Hai realm, and the other was at the Early Qi Hai realm.
Wang Ting was not angry at being scolded. He just smiled and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you have reached this level of cultivation at such a young age. Looking at your clothes, you must be a young master from a big family. Why are you following us rough mercenaries?"
Wang Ting asked. The others also looked at him. Even Yan Meng was interested. Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.
"My dad told me that young people need to experience more."
Jiang Chen laughed.
Yan Meng turned his head and smiled at Jiang Chen, "Your dad is a reasonable man. Young masters like you are like flowers in a greenhouse. No matter how talented you are, you don't have any practical experience. You should come out and experience more. Oh right, is Brother Jiang Chen also from Sky City?"
"Fragrant Sky City. I'm going to Red city too. It's on the way."
Jiang Chen said.
"Fragrant Sky City? I heard that something big happened in Fragrant Sky City. It seems like the young master of the Lee family was killed. Yesterday, the Lee family rushed through Sky City. "
Wang Ting said with great interest.
"Really? I've been out for a few days. I really don't know. "
Jiang Chen replied with a smile. It looked like everything that had happened in the Fragrant Sky City would soon be known by all 28 cities in this region, and his name would soon be known by many people.
The caravan was talking and laughing. The atmosphere was relaxed. Because they were not traveling fast, they only arrived at the outskirts of Red city in the evening. There were many bandits and bandits along the way from Sky City to Red city. There were also a few demonic beasts. However, the caravan was made up of Qi Hai warriors. None of the bandits dared to attack them. The bandits were not stupid. Attacking these people was the same as seeking death.
