After leaving the Vast Snow Mountain, Ling Xian headed straight to the nearest Mercenary Union.
Coincidentally, the Mercenary Guild closest to this place was the guild that he had registered for previously. The person in charge of greeting him was also the pretty woman.
"We meet again."
Ling Xian greeted her with a smile. The woman was a little startled, but then she revealed a look of joy.
Though she had to greet hundreds of people every day and usually forgot about them, the impression she had of Ling Xian was deep in her bones. What could she do? His temperament was far too outstanding. One look at him was unforgettable.
Therefore, he was still fresh in her memory. She smiled, "Yes, we meet again. Are you here to accept a mission?"
"That's right. I want to accept the mission that nobody has completed in 500 years." Ling Xian grinned and handed over the white jade token.
"Didn't I tell you already? Black-Iron mercenaries can't accept legendary missions." The woman shook her head and laughed.
"Take a look at the token first." Ling Xian's lips curled up into a smile.
"Token?"
The woman suspiciously accepted the token. After seeing the moon symbol on it, she fell into a state of shock.
This is … the token of the vice leader of the Moonlight Mercenaries?
The woman was shocked. She checked the token again and again. After confirming that there was no mistake, her heart was in turmoil. The way she looked at Ling Xian was like she was looking at a monster.
She remembered very clearly that three months ago, Ling Xian had just completed his registration and became the lowest ranked black iron mercenary. Yet now, he had transformed into the vice leader of the Moonlight Mercenaries. This change was far too shocking and unbelievable!
"How is it? The token is not fake, right?" Ling Xian smiled.
"No, it's not …" The woman stuttered. She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak properly.
Though her status was low, the Mercenary Union had a special technique that allowed them to accurately determine the identity of any mercenary. For a giant like the Moonlight Mercenaries, even if their identity was forged exactly the same, it could not escape the Mercenary Union's eyes.
In other words, this token was real. Ling Xian really was the vice leader of a legendary mercenary group.
To the woman, this was far too hard to believe. She fell into a trance and only regained herself after a long while.
"As long as it's not fake." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and his eyes were full of anticipation.
He wanted to see what exactly those seven divine medicines were, and why no one had managed to gather them in the past five hundred years.
"How the hell did you do it? That's the Moonlight Mercenary Corps. This is unbelievable." The woman let out a long sigh of relief. Her eyes were filled with shock.
A few months ago, he was just a lowly Black-Iron Mercenary. Now, he had become one of the top figures of the Black Tortoise Continent. Was there anything more unbelievable than this?
"Nothing much. I just helped the Moonlight Mercenaries out a little." Ling Xian waved his hand and said casually.
Naturally, the woman did not believe this. How could such a small favor be enough to obtain the Vice Captain's token? It must be a great favor.
However, she didn't ask any questions. She merely stared at Ling Xian with admiration.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Ling Xian showed any interest in her, she would warm his bed at night.
"Can I accept that mission now?" Ling Xian grinned.
"Of course you can. As the Vice Captain of the Moonlight Mercenaries, you have the right to accept that mission." The woman blinked and winked.
Ling Xian turned a blind eye to this and signaled her to hurry up.
Seeing this, the woman revealed a look of disappointment. "Wait for me. I will go get the scroll."
Then, she left her seat and disappeared.
After a while, the woman turned around with a black scroll in her hand.
Then, she handed the scroll to Ling Xian. The moment they touched, her fingertip lightly scratched his palm. Her intention was self-evident.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. He didn't think he would have the ability to make a woman throw herself into his arms.
However, he ignored it and smiled, "I'll take my leave."
Then, he turned around and left. The woman stomped her feet in anger.
"What a pity. I will never meet such an excellent man in my life."
…
After leaving the Mercenary Union, Ling Xian went outside the city and found a hidden cave.
"Let me see just what seven spiritual medicines can stump the Black Tortoise Continent for 500 years."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered with curiosity. He opened the black scroll and read the descriptions of the seven spiritual medicines.
Then, he fell into a state of shock.
This was because out of the seven spiritual medicines, he only recognized the first two. He has never even heard of the other five.
One was the Thunderous Vine of the Dragon, which was inside his storage pouch. The second was the Devious Burial Flower, which he once owned.
The two had one thing in common, and that was their rarity. The Devious Burial Flower, in particular, may not appear even once in a few lifetimes!
From this, it became obvious that the other five spiritual medicines were extremely rare as well!
Though he had predicted this, after seeing the seven spiritual medicines, Ling Xian still felt bitter.
Putting everything else aside, just the Fiendgod Burial Flower alone was already impossible.
This flower was extremely rare. In terms of rarity alone, it was comparable to immortal spiritual medicines. It may not appear even once in a few lifetimes. What was even worse was that he once owned it. In other words, it will not appear again in this lifetime.
"If the seven spiritual medicines are ranked according to their rarity, then that would be terrifying."
Looking at the seven names on the scroll, Ling Xian smiled bitterly. Because the Devious Burial Flower was only ranked second.
In other words, the other five spiritual medicines were even rarer than the Devious Burial Flower!
"It is no wonder nobody has completed it in the past 500 years. This is far too difficult."
Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. He finally understood why Shen Yue and Zhong Ling Yue told him not to get his hopes up.
Ignoring whether or not the recipe would work, finding all seven spiritual medicines was as difficult as climbing up to the sky. The hope was minuscule!
However, Ling Xian did not want to give up.
It was not his personality to give up so easily. No matter how hopeless the hope was, he had to persist until the end!
"I have already acquired the Thunderous Vine of the Dragon. That is a blessing in disguise." Ling Xian softly sighed. His gaze turned determined.
He memorized the names of the seven spiritual medicines. Then, using the vice leader's token, he sent a message to Zhong Ling Yue, asking her to help him find out.
What could he do? If he searched by himself, he would not be able to complete it even if he searched until the end of time. He didn't know many people in the Black Tortoise Continent, so he could only ask Zhong Ling Yue for help.
"I hope there will be news."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. He didn't have much hope.
These spiritual medicines were far too rare, especially the last five. He had never even heard of them.
Luckily, the scroll recorded the appearance and characteristics of the five spiritual medicines. Or else it would be even more hopeless.
Then, in a flash, Ling Xian left the cave and headed towards the Mercenary Union.
When it comes to finding something, it is best to put up a reward for everyone in the world to find it. That was the only way to find it.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to put up a reward mission and gather the resources of the Black Tortoise Continent.
A day later, six reward missions were hung in the mission hall. The high rewards made all the mercenaries' hearts waver.
