"Five?" Qiu Shaofeng laughed loudly, "Stop joking around. Do you think you're the Sword God Feng Jiu? Five soul stones a day is a reward that even Elder Chen doesn't dare to mention."
The young master sat on the sedan chair and looked at Yan Li for the first time, "Oh? Five soul stones a day, your appetite is not small. Although five soul stones is only half a month's profit of the least profitable shop in the Lian family's industry. As for the Sword God Feng Jiu, I can't invite him. As for you, if you're really a disciple of the Court Of Sword, I'll hire you with five soul stones. Otherwise … "
"Then get out of here immediately!" He suddenly changed his expression and scolded fiercely, "Why don't you find out who I am? Do you believe that I won't let you stay in White Water City?"
Yan Li ignored him and stared at Chen Tai, "Hunter Chen, will you hire me or not?"
Chen Tai narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Yu Wenfei walked over and whispered to Yan Li, "Brother Yan, why did you suddenly make such a request? Paying according to cultivation is the rule of the hunting group. Or is Brother Yan's cultivation not only in the Cultivation Realm? "
The corner of Yan Li's mouth raised slightly, "I'm new here. Don't talk to me about rules. If you want to hire me, five soul stones, not one less. Otherwise, we'll meet again if fate allows it." Then he turned around.
"Wait!"
Just when everyone was happy to see this happen, Chen Tai suddenly shouted loudly.
"Five is really too much." He seemed to be facing a mischievous grandson, feeling both helpless and having a headache. "Little Brother Yan, this old man doesn't see that you're an unreasonable person. How about this, this old man will personally add another fifty portions of Shadowless Starthread, making up a soul stone for you."
Qin Siming sneered, "Elder Chen is really generous. But spending money to hire a useless person, are you stupid?"
Chen Tai smiled disapprovingly, "Just think of it as helping the younger generation. It's really not a big deal."
Yan Li crossed his arms and said, "Since you're helping me, Hunting Leader Chen, you might as well add another 150 to make up two soul stones. After all, this is my first time here."
"You're being unreasonable. I think you're really courting death!" All of a sudden, Qiu Shaofeng flew into a rage and rushed forward. True Qi gathered in his hand. It seemed that this slap was not light.
Yan Li did not speak or move. He only looked at Chen Tai indifferently.
Chen Tai squints his eyes and stares at him. Just as Qiu Shaofeng's hand is about to touch Yan Li, he grabs it with lightning speed. "I agree."
"Old Chen?" Everyone was shocked.
Young Master Lian was also a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
"Let's go." Chen Tai's expression was not as easy-going as it was at the beginning. He looked a little cold. He seemed to be irritated by Yan Li's unreasonable pestering.
At this time, another three people came from the other side. One of them shouted, "Elder Chen, we found the thing." As he said that, he waved the Qiankun bag in his hand.
"Didn't we agree to meet on the way?" Yu Wenfei walked over and put away the Qiankun bag.
"We passed by here and found that you guys haven't set off yet, so …"
…
The hunting group finally set off. On the way, Yan Li learned that the three who joined later were like him. They were also independent cultivators recruited by Yu Wenfei. After meeting up, they were sent out by Chen Tai to find the thing, so they were not present.
All three were in the upper realm of cultivation. Normally, independent cultivators at this realm either have to worry about the advancement of their treasured artifacts: lack of materials or the difficulty of finding the materials needed for advancement; or they have to face the problem of enlightenment: empowerment pills and the Blessed Enclave.
There is no need to talk about the advancement of treasured artifacts. Li Ya had only advanced to the Spirit Grade, and it cost almost a thousand soul stones. Yan Li had spent more than half a year to repay the debt. Even a normal treasured artifact would cost about 200 soul stones. As for the higher Moon Grade, there is no need to mention it. That was something that independent cultivators didn't even dare to think about.
Enlightenment requires empowerment pills. In this world, probably only Yan Li can avoid it. Empowerment pills usually cost about five soul stones. Although it is not particularly expensive, it is still a considerable cost. There is no need to mention the Blessed Enclave. What is slightly better than the Mortal World is that in White Water City, there is a special place for "renting". It is a man-made Blessed Enclave that is surrounded by Spirit Gathering Talismans. However, the effect is not good and it is very expensive. Depending on the effect of the Blessed Enclave, it costs between 80 to 500 soul stones for each use.
The appearance of the man-made Blessed Enclave has given birth to more Human Immortals of Martial Arts. However, it is also because of this that in White Water City, the real masters must be above the Insight State.
Among the so-called Five Tycoons of Changzhou, there are three Human Immortals of Martial Arts.
On the way, the three of them learned that Yan Li's reward is actually two soul stones, which is four times more than theirs. Coupled with the embellishment of others, in their minds, Yan Li has become a gangster who takes advantage of Chen Tai's "kindness" to extort money.
Yan Li is not aware of this at all. On the way, he still holds the shameless spirit of "ask if you don't understand". Ignoring the wishes of the members of the Hunting Group, he asks questions here and there, and gradually outlines the picture of Juque Mountain in his mind.
First, they have to enter the mountain. They have to go through a very long mountain path to climb the cliff. When they reach the very high primitive forest, they begin to really enter the range of the hunting ground.
Juque Mountain is divided into the periphery and the hinterland.
The periphery is thousands of miles long. The destination of this trip is the most dangerous place in the periphery — Divine Dream Lake.
It is a huge lake that stretches for thousands of miles. The natural scenery is beautiful. It is a scenic spot second only to Ningbi Lake. However, there are all kinds of Star Fallen Beasts living around the lake. It is also the most dangerous lake in the world.
Yan Li also learned the identity of the employer.
The employer's name is Lian Murong. He is the eldest son of the Lian family, a famous merchant family in White Water City. He is involved in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. This time, he was also persuaded by his two favorite concubines to hire someone to see the scenery of Divine Dream Lake.
Since he had become a hated figure in the Hunting Group, he did not get much information from them.
The hunting group's itinerary is not decided by the head hunter Chen Tai. As a matter of fact, as soon as the eldest young master Lian says he is hungry, he has to stop to make a fire and cook before he sees the Star Fallen Beasts.
Chen Tai immediately called Yan Li over. "Little Brother Yan, we do not have much food. We have to trouble you to go hunting. There are wild beasts a few miles ahead."
It seems that he is still holding a grudge against Yan Li's "sky-high price."
Yan Li has no reason to refuse.
Yue Shaofeng's expression changed. He seems to have some ideas.
Chen Tai suddenly added, "Let Ma Jun accompany you. The two of you can take care of each other."
Ma Jun is one of the three cultivators. He seems to be around 27 or 28 years old. In order to get a better effect, he is saving money to enter the Blessed Land.
Seeing Ma Jun and Yan Li disappear into the jungle, Yue Shaofeng secretly snorted and pulled Qin Siming aside. "Big Brother, what does that old guy mean?"
