Xiao Lingyu went to the second floor with the token given to him by the fairy and entered a room.
The room wasn't big and the decorations were very simple. There was only a middle-aged cultivator sitting behind a wooden table.
At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator looked at Xiao Lingyu and then pointed to a wooden chair in front of the table. He smiled and said, "Please sit."
Xiao Lingyu sat down calmly and then repeated the mission he wanted to post.
"This kind of mission not only involves a lot of people, but it also takes a long time. Generally speaking, we don't accept this kind of mission because it takes a lot of effort just to help you post this mission to the various continents."
The middle-aged cultivator frowned and continued, "However, the person you're looking for is just a cultivator who has just ascended. It's not very difficult to find him. As long as you can take out enough immortal stones, this mission can still be posted."
"How many immortal stones do I need?" Xiao Lingyu asked without changing his expression.
"Five million immortal crystals."
The middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment as if he had quickly calculated and said.
Xiao Lingyu's sword-like eyebrows squeezed together when he heard this.
If it was five million demonic crystals, he could take it out now, but he really couldn't take out five million immortal crystals.
Xiao Lingyu originally didn't have any immortal stones on him, but in that independent space, he killed dozens of Heavenly Dao Sect disciples and collected a lot of immortal stones from their storage magic treasures. However, the total number of immortal stones was still far from five million immortal crystals, and a part of it was even returned to Luo Zhe.
"This is already the lowest price. If you don't have that many immortal crystals on you now, you can wait until you have enough before posting the mission. In any case, you won't be able to complete this mission in a short time." The middle-aged cultivator saw Xiao Lingyu's difficult expression and knew that he didn't have enough immortal stones, so he said this.
"Sorry to disturb you."
Xiao Lingyu stood up apologetically and left the mercenary building with a gloomy expression.
"I didn't expect that when I first ascended to the Demon World, I was in a hurry to earn immortal stones to buy materials. Now that I've just arrived in the Immortal World, I have to earn immortal stones first."
At the entrance of the mercenary division, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Xiao Lingyu had a few million Demonic Crystals, but he needed Demonic Crystals for his cultivation, and Demonic Crystals were worthless in the Immortal Realm. He couldn't exchange them for Immortal Crystals, so he had to think of another way.
There were many good things in his storage Dharma treasure, but they were either useful to him or useless to Immortals. Even if he sold them, he wouldn't be able to get many Immortal Stones.
Whether it was in the Cultivation World or the Demonic World, Xiao Lingyu's wealth had grown rapidly. He believed that it would be the same in the Immortal World.
Amongst all the methods to earn Immortal Stones, robbing others was the fastest, or taking out high quality goods to auction …
After pondering for a while, Xiao Lingyu suddenly turned around and entered the mercenary building. She glanced at the screens on both sides of the wall.
If he wanted to rob, he could only rob the powerful cultivators because they would have a large amount of Immortal Crystals. Xiao Lingyu, who had just arrived in the Immortal Realm, didn't want to incur the wrath of the Immortal Realm's experts. As for high quality goods, Xiao Lingyu felt that it was better to keep them for his own use.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lingyu decided to earn Immortal Crystals by doing missions.
Five million Immortal Crystals wasn't a small amount. Ordinary missions didn't have high rewards, but missions with high rewards were naturally more difficult and dangerous.
After looking for a long time, he once again went to the counter and waited in line.
Another hour passed, and Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of the counter. Without waiting for the pretty girl to ask, he spoke first. "I'm here to accept a mission. It's the mission to collect ten Sand Crystals."
Although the pretty girl recognized Xiao Lingyu, she didn't ask much. Instead, she said, "The mission's deposit is five thousand Immortal Crystals."
Although the missions issued by the mercenary group were open to anyone, they had to pay a deposit. This deposit was actually a handling fee. Regardless of whether you completed the mission or not, this deposit would not be refunded. However, if you completed the mission, the mercenary group would give you the full reward and no other fees would be charged.
It was said that in the past, there was no deposit. When the cultivator completed the mission and came to receive the reward, the mercenary group would deduct the handling fee from the reward. However, later on, many cultivators directly found the person who issued the mission after completing the mission and received the reward in private. The person who issued the mission later came to the mercenary group branch to cancel the mission. This saved the handling fee for the mercenary group. Later on, the mercenary group set the rule that one had to pay a deposit before accepting a mission.
Originally, the cultivator who accepted the mission couldn't get in touch with the cultivator who issued the mission. However, some missions required the cultivator who issued the mission to contact the person who issued the mission. The mercenary group couldn't hide the information of the cultivator who issued the mission to ensure that every cultivator who completed the mission would pay the relevant fees.
After paying five thousand immortal crystals, Xiao Lingyu received a jade token and left the mercenary group's building.
First, Xiao Lingyu purchased a jade slip with a map of the Zoowaru Continent engraved on it from a shop in the city. Then, he left Zoowaru City.
Xiao Lingyu had already read the contents of the jade slip and knew where he should go. After identifying the direction at the city gate, he jumped up and flew toward the northeast of Zoowaru City.
After leaving Zoowaru City, Xiao Lingyu gradually increased his speed. After flying at full speed for three days, he stopped at the edge of a desert with countless sand dunes.
This desert was very famous on the Zoowaru Continent. It was called the Sand Eagle Dunes because there were many sand eagles in it.
All the sand eagles whose cultivation reached the Mystic Demon Realm had sand crystals in their heads. Sand crystals were a kind of high-quality material that contained soul power.
Xiao Lingyu came here to hunt sand eagles.
Once he obtained ten sand crystals, he would be considered to have completed the mission. Then, he could go to the mercenary group's branch to receive a reward of two hundred thousand immortal crystals.
However, the sand eagles were bird-type demonic beasts. Their speed was extremely fast and far surpassed human cultivators of the same stage. The speed of an early-stage Mystic Demon Realm sand eagle was comparable to that of a late-stage Mystic Demon Realm human cultivator.
Generally speaking, it was very difficult for cultivators whose cultivation had not reached the Immortal Monarch Realm to hunt sand eagles of the Mystic Demon Realm. They could not catch up to them at all. How could they hunt sand eagles?
Moreover, the sand eagles most likely did not move alone. Most of the time, they were in groups. If one's cultivation had not reached the Immortal Monarch Realm and arrived at the Sand Eagle Dunes, they would probably become the sand eagles' food before they could even kill a single sand eagle.
If they encountered a group of sand eagles, even an Immortal Monarch Realm expert could only choose to retreat.
It was also because hunting sand eagles was more difficult and dangerous. Moreover, sand crystals were high-grade soul materials that the reward for this mission was very high.
After stopping outside the Sand Eagle Dunes for a while, Xiao Lingyu waited for her condition to be at its peak before flying into the depths of the Sand Eagle Dunes.
The Sand Eagle Dunes covered a vast area. There were countless sand dunes that were not very tall. Looking down from mid-air, those sand dunes looked like layers upon layers of waves.
Countless sand eagles whose cultivation had not reached the Mystic Demon Realm were flapping their wings and flying between the sand dunes. They were either chasing and playing around, not realizing that they were being hunted.
Sand eagles with weak cultivation did not have sand crystals in their heads. Therefore, no one would hunt them. The experts of the Wayowan Continent even ordered the restriction cultivators to kill the weak sand eagles.
Ordinary sand eagles had earthy yellow feathers. Their appearance was not much different from ordinary large eagles. They had sharp claws, iron hook-like beaks, and very sharp eyes … If they were not moving, it would be very difficult for cultivators to discover their existence just by looking at them with their naked eyes without carefully scanning with their immortal senses.
The higher the cultivation of the sand eagle, the better it would be to hide among the sand dunes.
In this desert, there was a type of sand mouse demon that was the prey of the sand eagles.
Sand mouse demons, like other demonic beasts of the mouse clan, had an astonishing reproduction rate. Moreover, most of them hid in underground nests and only came out at night.
Like the sand mouse demons, the sand eagles also lazily crouched among the sand dunes during the day to sleep or play around. At night, they would flap their wings and hover in the air. When they discovered a sand mouse demon, they would shoot down like a sharp arrow.
Mystical Demon Realm Desert Eagles were also active at night and only hunted Gerbil Demons with similar cultivation bases. Although the Desert Eagles had a natural advantage, they still had to go through some trouble to deal with Gerbil Demons with similar cultivation bases.
Experienced falconers would set out at night. Usually, they would hunt the Gerbil Demon first, and then use the Gerbil Demon as bait to lure the Desert Eagles.
This experience was not a secret. There was a relevant introduction in the map jade slip.
After Xiao Lingyu entered the depths of the sand eagle hill, he concealed his aura and hid in a cave, quietly waiting for the arrival of night.
Eight hours later, the sky was completely dark. The rustling sounds of the sand mouse demons that left the cave and came to the surface were not very obvious in the whistling wind of the sand eagle hill. As for the sand eagles, who were quietly gliding and hovering in the air and staring at the ground with sharp eyes, they hardly made the slightest sound.
The Gerbil Demons had very good hearing. They could clearly distinguish all kinds of movements when the wind was raging. Whenever a Desert Eagle pounced on them, they could sense the danger through the sound of friction between the Desert Eagle and the air. This was an important method for the Gerbil Demons to avoid being killed by the Desert Eagle.
Xiao Lingyu's hearing was not as good as the sand mice's, and his eyesight was not as good as the sand eagles'. However, he spread out his mind to cover a large area around him. Whether it was the sand eagles in the air or the sand mice on the ground, he could see them clearly.
Xiao Lingyu naturally did not care about ordinary sand mice and sand eagles. Even if a sand mouse passed by him or a sand eagle flew over his head, he did not move at all.
After waiting for an entire night, not a single Mystic Demon Realm sand mouse or sand eagle entered the range of his mind.
