On the third day of Lin Xuan's arrival in North Guard City, there was still no progress on the Hundred Herb Hall mission.
During this period, many warriors went out to kill enemies and earn battle merits. Lin Xuan found the scarred man again and told him his thoughts.
"What? You want to repair weapons to earn battle merits?" The scarred man was surprised. I didn't expect you to be a weapon nurturer.
"How about this? Follow me," said the scarred man.
Lin Xuan followed him to the center of the city. After passing through the residential area, the two of them arrived in front of a hexagonal pavilion. The scarred man didn't stop as he led Lin Xuan to the third floor.
"Master Mo, this is Lin Xuan from the Black Heaven Sect. He wants to repair weapons here to earn battle merits," said the scarred man respectfully.
"Oh, the Black Heaven Sect?" Master Mo looked at Lin Xuan with interest. A smile appeared on his aged face. "You know how to nurture weapons?"
"A little." Lin Xuan smiled.
"Try this." Master Mo handed Lin Xuan a long saber. The blade was full of gaps and looked like it was about to be destroyed.
"Ordinary treasured weapons are worth repairing. If an ordinary weapon is damaged, it's better to forge a new one," said Lin Xuan after taking a glance.
"Good. You do have good eyesight. This saber is indeed an ordinary item." Instead of being angry, Master Mo was delighted. "Here are some low-grade human-rank treasured weapons. If you can repair them, I'll give you a satisfactory amount of battle merits."
Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and began to carefully repair the damaged human-rank treasured weapons. He didn't use the Sword Pool Manor's techniques. Instead, he used the techniques taught to him by Lord Alcohol to slowly repair them.
Two days later, all six human-rank treasured weapons were repaired. They shimmered coldly under the sunlight.
Master Mo was very happy and directly gave Lin Xuan 30 battle merits. Over the past two days, Lin Xuan had a certain understanding of battle merits.
Killing a rank one demonic beast would give him one battle point, a rank two demonic beast would give him five battle points, and a rank three demonic beast would give him twenty battle points. After all, rank three demonic beasts were already equivalent to Sea of Souls Realm warriors.
Lin Xuan repairing six artifacts was equivalent to killing six second-order demonic beasts.
Don't underestimate a little bit of battle merit. In the Martial Hall, one battle merit could be exchanged for a 100-year-old ginseng, while ten battle merit could be exchanged for a low-grade Profound Rank martial art, and twenty battle merit could be exchanged for a mid-grade Profound Rank martial art.
Lin Xuan's 30 battle merits could be exchanged for a high-grade Mystic-ranked martial art or a low-grade Man-ranked Artifact.
In the Martial Hall, if you had enough battle merits, you could even exchange them for Spirit Level martial arts. There were also some natural treasures that would definitely attract people.
Lin Xuan was excited. He was looking forward to this mission.
Five days later, Lin Xuan came to the Combat Martial Hall once again.
"Is everyone here?" A majestic figure stood with his back facing the crowd.
"Reporting to the general, all sixteen youths have arrived," a soldier said respectfully.
Huo!
The majestic figure turned around and looked at the crowd. His gaze was mixed with a great pressure.
Everyone who was looked at felt as if they had been electrocuted. A sense of fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. This wasn't intentional. Rather, the years of living on the battlefield made his every move carry an invisible killing intent.
"In this mission, we must rescue Divine Doctor Du." General Zeng's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Following that, General Zeng began to lay out the battle plan. In fact, it was very simple. General Zeng would lead people to pin down the main firepower of the demonic beasts, and these sect youths would be responsible for rescuing the patient. Once they succeeded, they would immediately retreat.
Although it was simple, there couldn't be the slightest mistake in the execution of the plan. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to save the patient, they might even lose their own lives.
General Zeng led seven soldiers as the vanguard. The sixteen youths were divided into four groups. They would break out from four directions and finally meet at the Hundred Herb Hall.
Everyone was given a shield, a signal flare, and three recovery pills. After Lin Xuan received these, he set out with the crowd. The group quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
Each of the four small groups had a ninth-level condensing martial artist as the leader. He was responsible for controlling the entire group. Lin Xuan wasn't in the same group as Fan Chong. Instead, he was in a mixed group.
The one with the highest cultivation was Lotus Glory Sect's Feng Bufan. His cultivation had reached ninth-level condensing. The remaining two were Zhang Hao, a disciple of Lotus Glory Sect. The other was Liu Lan, a disciple of Zixia Sect.
Among the remaining three groups, there were disciples similar to Fan Chong. In comparison, Lin Xuan's group was the weakest.
Feng Bufan's cultivation was the highest, so he was temporarily leading the group.
"Our group is relatively weak, but as long as we are united, I believe we still have a chance," Feng Bufan said. "We'll go around the forest. Everyone, be careful."
After the four of them left North Guard City, they entered the forest. Fan Chong's group also took a similar route to them.
"Feng Bufan, you have to be careful. Don't let some people in the group drag us down," Fan Chong sneered at Lin Xuan and then quickly left.
Feng Bufan was fine, but the other two disciples looked at Lin Xuan with strange eyes.
"It's okay. Let them go first and help us scout the way," Feng Bufan said indifferently.
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't explain. The four of them ran south together.
After an hour, Lin Xuan suddenly frowned and said, "Senior Martial Brother Feng, there's a wolf pack ahead. We'd better go around it."
"Wolf pack? How is that possible? There's clearly no movement ahead! "Zhang Hao's face was full of disbelief.
Feng Bufan was also puzzled. However, when he saw Lin Xuan's confident face, he took a cautious action.
"Junior Martial Brother Lin, lead the way. We'll go around it."
"Follow me," Lin Xuan immediately commanded.
Feng Bufan was fine, but the other two disciples were somewhat dissatisfied. They didn't have any objections to Feng Bufan's command, but they were somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't care about what they thought and quickly led the way.
The reason why he knew was because of Lord Alcohol's reminder. Although Lord Alcohol couldn't directly help Lin Xuan, he could still sense things like that.
Lin Xuan and company made many turns as they carefully walked through the forest.
Zhang Hao was displeased as he snorted. "There's clearly nothing, but …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Chong's angry roar sounded not far from their side. Following that, there was an intense spiritual energy fluctuation.
"What? How can this be? " Cold sweat dripped down Zhang Hao's face. If they hadn't followed Lin Xuan's instructions, they would have arrived at the place where the roar came from.
The three of them looked at Lin Xuan with a change in expression. Zhang Hao lowered his head and didn't dare say a word. Feng Bufan said gratefully, "Thank you for leading the way, Junior Martial Brother Lin."
He knew that Lin Xuan and company had avoided a calamity.
"It's nothing. Let's hurry!" Lin Xuan said indifferently.
