Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 85 Qingshan Town

Different from the experience in the center of the mountain range, Qingshan Town can be regarded as the place where Xiao Yan truly experienced new customs and practices.

Because it is located at the junction of the Tagor Desert and the Monster Mountains, the number of mercenaries in Qingshan Town is far greater than that in Wutan City, which also leads to the fact that the customs and habits of the two places are even more different.

Although it is also full of the atmosphere of fireworks, the rough and fierce style of Qingshan Town dominates it.

The mercenaries, who were willing to risk their lives on the tip of a knife, walked together in groups, and all kinds of vulgar words and dirty talk followed one after another, which made Xiao Yan raise his brows.

"It's quite lively here indeed. If Ruoruo were here, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how many bees and butterflies would be attracted here."

Xiao Yan joked casually, his hands in his pockets, looking around at the novel environment around him.

Because he was carrying the Xuanzhong Ruler, not only was Xiao Yan looking at the surrounding environment with curiosity, but many people around him also cast strange glances at him.

For people who live in such a chaotic place, weapons must be handy and deadly, and this big iron block like a heavy sword...
Looking at the weight, it is estimated that it can't even do a simple run. Looking at the sword edge, it doesn't seem sharp at all. How can you plan to fight with such a burden?

I guess it would be difficult to even swing it?
Thinking of this, the eyes of many mercenaries gradually became teasing, obviously treating Xiao Yan as some green and inexperienced boy who had just started out.

Xiao Yan, who took in everyone's gaze, paid no attention to it. He continued walking slowly towards the street at a moderate pace.

His previous experience made him more cautious. No matter where he was, getting intelligence was the first priority.

You know, last time Xiao Yan almost lost his life at the hands of the bandit leader. He learned from his mistakes and would try not to make such a rash mistake again.

After casually walking through various shops on the roadside, Xiao Yan looked around and gradually fixed his gaze on a rather spacious herbal medicine store.

"Wan Yao Zhai"

After counting the number of Qi-recovering pills in his hand, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and then slowly walked towards the herbal medicine shop.

Unlike the weapon shops that appeared every now and then around here, Wanyaozhai had a larger territory, and from what Xiao Yan could see, it seemed that this was the only drugstore open. Obviously, the status of Wanyaozhai in Qingshan Town was definitely quite high.

As he walked into the shop, Xiao Yan's powerful soul power, which had been cultivated by Hun Ruoruo, instantly sensed something unusual.

He looked in the direction of his soul's perception and saw a pale yellow rectangular object in the corner. Under the gaze of his soul power, it emitted a very light blood-red color.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?" A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged as he smiled at the male clerk who was walking over.

"Coptis essence, one hundred gold." He casually took out the Coptis essence and placed it in front of Xiao Yan. The male clerk didn't even look at Xiao Yan, and continued to take out the medicine to replace the Coptis essence from the cabinet below.

"How about one hundred and fifty gold? Let's be friends." Xiao Yan asked.

"We don't bargain. Wait, one hundred and fifty gold?"

The male clerk was stunned, looking at the young man carrying the huge iron block with a strange look on his face, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Little brother, I've been working in Wanyaozhai for ten years, and this is the first time I've heard you bargain like this."

"Haha, to be honest, I'm new here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. The reason I offered a high price is that I wanted to waste some of your time so that I can ask for some information and news about Qingshan Town." Xiao Yan gave a reasonable explanation for this.

Hearing this, the male clerk looked Xiao Yan up and down, and finally, after seeing the light-reflecting storage ring in the boy's hand, he showed a flattering smile.

"Little brother. Ah no, since the young master is so generous, I will naturally not refuse." He had nothing to gain from the one hundred gold coins, so he showed a disgusted expression before, but now the other party's extra fifty gold coins would not be counted into the account.
In other words, just by answering a few questions, he can get gold coins equivalent to several months' salary!
Thinking of this, the male clerk's breathing became a little heavy, and he completely suppressed his previous expression as if he was being taken advantage of. He began to talk incessantly about all kinds of information in Qingshan Town.

First, the three most famous mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, then Wanyaozhai, and finally the mercenary hiring rules.
Even the secrets of Qingshan Town that had nothing to do with intelligence were something the clerk managed to spin out over a dozen sentences about. His service attitude was simply impeccable.

Slightly deviating from the direction of the other party's spit, a cunning smile flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he silently put the Yellow Lotus Essence in his hand into the storage ring.

What he received was actually not the Yellow Lotus Essence, but an extremely rare variant of it, the Blood Lotus Essence.

Don't underestimate the difference between the two words; the preciousness of the two is worlds apart.

If it weren't for the significant increase in his soul power, even with his eyesight after reading the alchemy manual for a long time, it would be impossible for him to recognize it.

It was a coincidence that this blood lotus essence happened to be one of the core ingredients of the elixir given to him by Hun Ruoruo - the "Blood Lotus Pill".

After listening to the clerk's story, Xiao Yan had a general understanding of the forces in Qingshan Town. Just as he was about to nod in thanks, he found that everyone's eyes were suddenly looking in the direction behind him.

"Wow, the little doctor is here!"

"Look at her waist. Wow, it's so thin."

"You dare to say those dirty words to Little Medical Fairy? Are you looking for death?!"

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said to the male clerk who was also trying to cast a glance at him, "Shopkeeper, this Little Medical Fairy seems to have a very high reputation here."

"Young Master, you may not know this, but the Little Medical Immortal is the specially-appointed physician of our Wanyaozhai that I mentioned earlier."

A doctor, not a pharmacist?
When Xiao Yan heard this relatively obscure word, his understanding of the scarcity of the alchemist profession was further enhanced.

In fact, it is normal. Even Hun Ruoruo, who has a deep understanding of alchemy and extremely strong soul power, cannot become an alchemist due to the threshold, let alone an ordinary girl in a small town.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's impression of this little medical fairy became a little deeper.

More and more people gathered together to join in the fun, causing Xiao Yan to be unable to see the face of the girl who was praised by everyone. However, he did not intend to squeeze into the crowd to join in the fun. Instead, he hurried to the starting point of the Warcraft Mountain Range to purchase the necessary daily necessities.

After previous inquiries, Xiao Yan had already learned that in order to join the team heading to the Warcraft Mountains, one must at least have the strength of a fighter.

Xiao Yan's age is there, even if he only shows the strength of a one-star fighter, it will probably attract excessive attention from people around him.

You have to know that Qingshan Town is not the same as Wutan City. A fighter who is seventeen or eighteen years old is enough to make most mercenaries suspicious, and it is not impossible that they will even become greedy because of this.

Although Xiao Yan was not afraid of this, he now had the information. Instead of following the caravan and being bound by his duties, it would be better for him to set off on his own, appearing free and at ease.

"We've finally arrived at the Monster Mountain Range, where there are monsters. It wasn't easy."

Xiao Yan looked at the figures of magical beasts leaping in the woods from time to time and couldn't help but complain.

Looking at the map in his hand again, he smeared all the bitter grass juice that could dispel the odor on his body, then plunged into the forest and headed quickly towards the location of the Warcraft Mountains.
