"From now on, you are the 10th legendary mercenary of the Xuan Wu Continent!"
The man's expression was serious and his tone was powerful.
Everyone froze at this. Then, they revealed a look of shock.
Remember that there were only nine legendary mercenaries in the Xuan Wu Continent. They were extremely rare. Yet before their eyes, Ling Xian had become the 10th legendary mercenary. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Ling Xian was a little surprised as well, "I don't think that's appropriate. I only completed one mission."
"It's true that you only completed one mission. But what you completed was a legendary mission. A legendary mission."
"According to the rules of the Mercenary Union, anyone who completes a legendary mission will be promoted to a legendary mercenary."
"With your capabilities, you are worthy of this title."
The man revealed a smile. There was respect and exclamation.
He was an experienced member of the Mercenary Union, but he has never seen anyone become a legendary mercenary after completing a single mission. Or in other words, he has never even heard of such a thing.
This was simply too shocking. Even the other nine legendary mercenaries had been promoted bit by bit. Ling Xian, on the other hand, only completed one mission and received this great honor!
"This is unbelievable. This has never happened since the beginning of time!"
"Even if this doesn't happen in the future, this is unprecedented. How insane."
"Compared to him, I'm simply too ashamed to show my face."
As much as everyone expressed their shock, they couldn't help but reveal some jealousy.
A legendary mercenary. Not only was this a great honor, but it was also the highest position in the Xuan Wu Continent. Why wouldn't they be jealous?
Sadly, no one could be jealous.
The reason why Ling Xian received this honor was because of his own capabilities. Of course, luck played a part as well. But without capabilities, one cannot take advantage of opportunities.
"I see. Then it would be impolite of me to decline." Ling Xian softly smiled. He didn't decline, nor could he.
Whether or not he admitted it, he was the 10th legendary mercenary. From now on, he was the goal of all mercenaries!
"Haha, congratulations!" The man laughed brightly.
Everyone followed suit and congratulated him. More than half of them were hypocritical, but some of them were sincere.
This was all because they personally witnessed the completion of the spiritual medicine and the birth of a legendary mercenary.
This made them feel honored, so they naturally congratulated him sincerely.
"You are too kind." Ling Xian waved his hand. He didn't care about the fame, what he cared about was the reward.
He smiled faintly and said, "President, please send a message to the person who issued the mission."
"I've already sent him a message, and he said that he would arrive within three days."
The man smiled and said, "During this period of time, please stay here."
"Alright, thank you," Ling Xian said in a low voice.
"Please." The man extended his right hand and walked to the back door of the hall.
At this, Ling Xian marched forward to catch up.
Soon, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.
This made the woman feel a sense of loss, but there was nothing she could do.
It wasn't that she didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity, but after the man announced that Ling Xian would be the tenth legendary mercenary, she gave up on the idea.
The gap was too big, so big that it was unrealistic.
Therefore, the woman gave up. She chose to bury Ling Xian deep inside her heart. Occasionally, she would think about him and smile warmly.
…
The sun rose and shone on the earth.
Inside the guest room of the Mercenary Union, Ling Xian was breathing in and out spiritual energy to nourish his body and strengthen his cultivation.
However, after three days of training, he didn't improve at all.
This was normal. At his level, it would be great if he could improve even a little after three years of training. How could he improve in just three days?
"Luckily, the Soaring Immortal Swordsman gave me the Source of the World. Or else I don't know how many years it would take for me to break through to the advanced stage of the seventh level."
Ling Xian exclaimed, but he didn't plan on consuming the Source of the World right away.
This object was far too dominating. Even if it was only one out of ten thousand, it wasn't something he could absorb. If he were to forcefully devour it, he would only end up exploding.
Therefore, he had to first increase his physique before he could absorb the Source of the World.
As for his physique, Ling Xian had a way to increase it. It was the Dan of Indestructible from the underground palace.
However, he didn't want to use it.
The Dan of Indestructible was extremely useful and was best used during critical moments, like when he was breaking through to the eighth level. That way, the Dan's effects would be maximized and it could even give birth to an indestructible spiritual energy.
If he consumed it now, it would be a waste.
"I'll keep it for now. If it really doesn't work, I'll take the Dan of Indestructible." Ling Xian thought about it and decided to find another way.
Then, he stopped thinking about this. Instead, he thought about the person who gave out the mission.
It had been five days and that person hadn't made a single move. If the man didn't promise him, he would've thought he was being played.
"Not punctual, not trustworthy." Ling Xian frowned, not happy.
Just as he mumbled to himself, his expression changed.
This was because he sensed a powerful force approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
"So it's here … it's not weak."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. He waved his hand and the door opened, waiting for this person.
After a few seconds, a white and chubby young man appeared at the door.
He looked like he was seven or eight years old, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. There was an ancient vibe to him.
"You know the etiquette and know how to open the door."
The young man's eyes were deep as he stood with his hands behind his back. He had the temperament of a master. But his white and chubby appearance, no matter how one looked at it, was hilarious.
"I said I would arrive within three days. Today is already the fifth day."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He sat on the chair and didn't get up.
"I'm only two days late. It's not a big deal." The young man's expression was emotionless, "Based on your tone, it seems like you are not happy with me."
"That's true. I am not a trustworthy person." Ling Xian admitted. He wasn't afraid of offending this person.
Even though he had the recipe, even though he was at the peak of the Reasoning Realm.
"Interesting. You don't want the recipe anymore?" The young man frowned.
"I think you don't want the seven spiritual medicines anymore."
Ling Xian smiled, "We are on equal footing and we are trading to get what we want. So, don't think about suppressing me."
"Trading is divided into the active and the passive. I think I am the active one." The young man glared at Ling Xian.
"You are wrong. I am the active one."
Ling Xian grinned, "You have waited for 500 years. I bet you can't wait any longer."
"That is true. But I think you are more impatient than me."
The young man's eyes shone and he smiled, "After all, your life is hanging by a thread."
Hearing this, Ling Xian wasn't surprised.
This person's cultivation level was extraordinary and it was obvious that he was well-versed in medicine. It made sense for him to see through the Curse of Heaven Abyss.
"You are right. My life is hanging by a thread. But aren't you the same?"
"Though I don't know what you are under, I can tell that you have no more chance of survival and are in desperate need of the seven spiritual medicines."
"So, your desperation is no less than mine."
"Even so, why are you trying to show me who I am? Isn't it better to trade peacefully? "
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. The young man's expression was dark.
