The entire Xuan Wu continent knew about the invasion of the sky demons. But those who participated in the war were all powerhouses.
Therefore, all the forces on the continent continued to operate normally and were not affected.
The Mercenary Union was no exception.
This place was bustling with people, and it was no different from usual.
This made Ling Xian sigh in relief. He was worried that the Mercenary Union would not be able to operate normally and he would not be able to complete his mission.
Now it seemed like he worried too much.
"After so many years, I am back here."
Ling Xian exclaimed as he marched into the lobby and arrived at the front desk. Then, he smiled.
Because the lady in charge of reception was the one who helped him register when he first arrived at the Mercenary Union.
"It's you?" The lady was surprised as she recognized Ling Xian.
To her, Ling Xian was merely a passerby and they didn't have much interaction. However, he was someone she would never forget.
Every time she thought of Ling Xian, she felt sad and regretful.
"We meet again." Ling Xian smiled warmly. That, combined with his handsome face and extraordinary temperament, had an indescribable charm to him.
This made the lady blush and she mumbled, "We meet again. Is this the opportunity God has given me …"
"What?" Ling Xian frowned, not hearing what the lady said.
"Ah, nothing, nothing." The lady gasped as she stared at Ling Xian unblinkingly. She was shy and somewhat tempting.
Ling Xian ignored this and said, "I am here to complete my mission."
As he spoke, he handed over his identity card.
The lady took over the card. After a while, she couldn't help but frown, "You don't have a mission either."
Then, she remembered something and her eyes widened, "You … you didn't complete that mission, did you?"
"Smart." Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
That mission's level was far too high and he had no right to accept it. Therefore, he had to accept it as the vice leader of the Moonlight Mercenaries. Now that he had completed the mission, he could ignore the rules of the Mercenary Union.
"Impossible! That mission has existed for 500 years and countless people have failed. How did you complete it? "The lady was in disbelief.
His exclamation also attracted the attention of the crowd.
"A mission that has existed for 500 years? Could it be the spiritual medicine? "
"It has to be. Other than that insane mission, what other mission has existed for 500 years?"
"Based on her tone, could it be that someone completed the mission?"
Everyone chimed in and stared at Ling Xian suspiciously.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The mission of the divine medicine recipe was too difficult to complete. It was unknown just how many experts sighed helplessly. The crowd naturally did not believe it.
Ling Xian faintly smiled at this and took out the Vine of the Dragon from his storage pouch.
At once, the entire hall silenced. Everyone was staring at the Thunderous Dragonization Vine. Some were shocked, some were passionate.
This was just the beginning. After Ling Xian took out the Devious Burial Flower, everyone's shock turned into astonishment.
The woman was stunned as well. However, she still didn't think Ling Xian could collect all seven spiritual medicines.
After all, the conditions for the birth of these seven Godly Medicines were far too harsh. It was already extremely difficult to find three of them. How could they possibly gather all of them?
Right at this moment, three strange divine medicines appeared. They were like suns that soared through the sky, dazzling and resplendent.
The leftmost one was the Dark Fragrance Silk, which came from the Divine Saint Island. The middle one was the Yin Yang Dao Fusion Flower, which came from the Land of Extreme Frost. The third one was the Great Sun Nether Grass, which came from the Demon Sect.
When the three miraculous medicines appeared, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
Everyone else reacted the same way.
Though they didn't know the contents of the recipe, they knew the value of these six spiritual medicines. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that any one of them was priceless.
It didn't matter if they were spiritual medicines or not, the fact that he was able to take them out was shocking enough. If they weren't spiritual medicines required by the recipe, why would Ling Xian embarrass himself by taking them out? Wouldn't that be asking to be humiliated?
Therefore, everyone inhaled deeply. The doubt in their eyes lessened and was replaced by anticipation.
They were anticipating Ling Xian to take out the last one and complete the mission that nobody has completed in 500 years!
"You collected all six …" The woman was a little lost. She stared at Ling Xian without blinking, "The last one … you got it as well?"
"If I didn't get it, I wouldn't have come to complete the mission." Ling Xian smiled and took out the Grass of Extinction.
Instantly, the energy of destruction engulfed the entire hall. As much as everyone's expression changed, they were also shocked.
The woman in particular was in disbelief.
Just like everyone else, she didn't know the exact details of the recipe. All she knew was that there were seven spiritual medicines. However, it was obvious that Ling Xian wasn't here to humiliate himself. Therefore, she was 80% convinced.
"Wait for me, I will go get the leader." The woman panicked and hurriedly marched on.
"There's no need. I am already here."
A calm voice rose. Then, an elegant middle-aged man walked out. His eyes were full of disbelief.
"I am the leader of this branch. Nice to meet you."
"You are being too polite." Ling Xian brandished his hand and pointed at the seven spiritual medicines, "Please, inspect them."
Hearing this, everyone's gaze was fixated on the man. There was anticipation and suspicion.
"You are joking. These seven spiritual medicines cannot be any more real. Why would I need to inspect them?"
The man bitterly smiled. The moment Ling Xian took out the Devious Burial Flower, he had already arrived and was hiding to observe.
Therefore, he was very certain that these were the seven spiritual medicines required by the recipe!
"If that's the case, then can I hand in my mission?" Ling Xian smiled.
"Of course you can." The man spoke in a low voice, his voice was powerful.
"Am I hallucinating? The leader said he can?"
"Unbelievable. The mission that nobody has completed in 500 years was completed by him!"
"This is unbelievable. Just how did he do it? If it was me, I wouldn't have gotten a single spiritual medicine!"
Everyone inhaled a cold breath of air. They were genuinely shocked and even astonished.
The woman, in particular, was completely dumbfounded.
Remember that these seven spiritual medicines were all extremely hard to find. If there was a ranking of the most difficult spiritual medicines to get, every single one of them would be in the top 10. Yet Ling Xian had collected all of them. How unbelievable was this?
It was heaven-defying!
"That's great." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. There was relief and joy.
For these seven spiritual medicines, he had sacrificed far, far too much. There were many times when he was at the edge of despair. Today, it was finally time to reap his harvest. Why wouldn't he be ecstatic?
"You sure are capable. Even I have to admit that I am impressed." The man exclaimed.
"You are flattering me. I am simply lucky."
Ling Xian brandished his hand, making everyone speechless.
This wasn't something that could be achieved with luck alone. It's been 500 years and countless lucky people have tried, yet nobody has succeeded. Yet Ling Xian had done it. This proved that he didn't just rely on luck, he relied more on capabilities!
"Since I have completed my mission, it's about time I get my reward." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Of course. But before that, I have to announce something." The man smiled mysteriously. After everyone's questioning gaze, he uttered out a shocking statement.
"From now on, you are the 10th legendary mercenary of the Xuan Wu Continent!"
