The silent night quietly slipped away. Early in the morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Mu Qingxiao habitually opened her eyes.
"That thing is in the Magic Beast Mountain Range near Qingshan Town. I must get it. I'll try my luck and see if I can find the supplementary ingredients to refine a tier three pill."
Mu Qingxiao was speechless. Qingshan Town was too small. She couldn't even find some low-grade medicinal ingredients.
Jumping up from the bed, Mu Qingxiao washed up in the guest room and went downstairs to check out. She then turned around and left.
A moment later, Mu Qingxiao arrived at the entrance of the town. At this moment, there were already many mercenaries gathered here. They were shouting and calling out to the lone mercenaries who wanted to enter the mountain range.
The mercenaries in the town could be divided into three types.
The first type was the mercenary companies that had already formed a tight organization. There were only three such companies in Qingshan Town. Each company had around a hundred members and most of them were Dou Zhe or above.
Moreover, the leaders of these three companies were all Dou Shi level fighters. They could be said to be the strongest forces in Qingshan Town.
The second type of mercenary company was the temporary mercenary teams. These teams usually disbanded after completing a mission. The trust and cooperation between them was far from that of a proper mercenary company.
The third type of mercenary company was the lone mercenaries. These people usually had some life-saving trump cards. The mercenaries who were shouting at the entrance of the town belonged to the second type.
Hiding his presence in the crowd, no one could discover him. Mu Qingxiao was trying his luck. If he remembered correctly, the Little Doctor would also enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range in the original novel.
Just as Mu Qingxiao's gaze swept through the crowd, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the town. Suddenly, there was a burst of excited shouts.
"The Thousand Medicine House is going to enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range to gather medicinal ingredients. The Little Doctor is going with them. There are only fifty spots. The strength of the person must be at least a two star Dou Zhe. Everyone, hurry up!"
The loud shout caused the noisy entrance of the town to fall silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other for a while. The mercenaries who met the requirements immediately rushed toward the middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Thousand Medicine House.
Mu Qingxiao's mouth curved into a smile. It seemed that his luck was not bad. The Thousand Medicine House was where he had bought medicinal ingredients yesterday. Thus, he quietly squeezed into the crowd.
The name of the Little Doctor was more useful than anything else in Qingshan Town. The fifty spots caused everyone to fight over them.
"There is one more spot!" The middle-aged man smiled as he waved the sheepskin scroll in his hand.
"Let me.
"Mu Qingxiao's," Mu Qingxiao, the middle-aged man..
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who looked like the son of a rich family, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, our condition is that you need to be a two star Dou Zhe. Moreover, the Magic Beast Mountain Range is filled with danger. If you meet with any mishaps, we will not take responsibility."
The middle-aged man emphasized the words' not take responsibility '. It was obvious that he had mistaken Mu Qingxiao for the young master of some family. "Looking at your dressing, you don't look like you lack money. Why take such a risk?"
"I have been in Qingshan Town for so many years. How come I have never seen this young master?"
"Tsk tsk, look at his white and tender face. It's just like a girl's. Does he have nothing better to do? Why is he joining in on the fun?"
Mu Qingxiao turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him. He clenched his fist and lightly punched the nearest tree. There were no Dou Qi fluctuations or fancy moves.
"Kacha!"
Following a crisp sound, the thick tree trunk fell to the ground under the shocked gazes of the surrounding crowd. Immediately, a sandstorm filled the air and the scene fell into a dead silence.
"Do you think I have the ability to protect myself?" Mu Qingxiao smiled at the middle-aged man.
"Cough cough, you really can't judge a book by its cover. Young Master has trained to a two star Dou Zhe at such a young age. Your future is limitless."
The middle-aged man exclaimed. Actually, he could not see Mu Qingxiao's cultivation level. However, after thinking about it carefully, he estimated that it was around a two star Dou Zhe. How strong could someone so young be?
"Alright, the last spot is yours. The mercenary reward is five hundred gold coins. You will be paid half of the reward in advance for escorting our 'Thousand Medicine House' medicinal herb gathering team back and forth. The other half can only be paid when we return."
"Alright."
Mu Qingxiao smiled and nodded. Of course, he did not care about a mere five hundred gold coins. Even refining a single pill would cost more than that. His goal was a certain item in the Magic Beast Mountain Range and the mercenary group could show him the way.
Or it could be said that the Little Doctor in the mercenary group could show him the way.
Seeing that the last spot was snatched away by a young man who had appeared out of nowhere, the surrounding mercenaries could only resentfully leave.

In the silent forest, the large group of people quietly walked.
The forest was dark and gloomy. Many pairs of vigilant eyes constantly scanned the dark areas of the forest. They tightly gripped their weapons, ready to deal with any sudden situation.
As veteran mercenaries who had been in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for many years, they were able to maintain a basic understanding even though this was their first time working together.
When their eyes met, they could also identify the signs of danger and safety in each other's eyes.
Walking at the back of the mercenary group, Mu Qingxiao was naturally the most relaxed. It was as if this place was not the Magic Beast Mountain Range. He softly muttered, "So slow. I wonder when we will reach our destination."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" At this moment, a young mercenary on Mu Qingxiao's left asked.
"It's nothing. I just think that the girl in the back is very beautiful."
He turned his head and glanced at the heavily guarded herb-gathering team of the Thousand Medicine House. His gaze finally rested on the girl in the white dress who was like a moon surrounded by stars.
At this moment, the Little Doctor just happened to straighten his body. The back of his hand gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. His lightly panting appearance, coupled with his gentle and beautiful face, made people feel tender affection for him.
Seeing the Little Doctor like this, some of the surrounding mercenaries suddenly had the urge to carry him to the destination. However, they also knew that even if they wanted to, the Little Doctor would tactfully decline with a smile.
As the mercenaries' gazes converged on the Little Doctor, a rather handsome young man walked out from the group of guards with a face full of smiles. He lowered his head and said something to the panting Little Doctor.
The two of them conversed for a while. The Little Doctor smiled and shook his head. A trace of undetectable disgust flashed across his eyes. He then continued on his way.
