Chapter 113: Qingshan Town

Qingshan Town can be said to be a place that countless people who transmigrated into *Battle Through the Heavens* must visit, and Xiao Yan was naturally no exception.

Because it was near the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it was also called the Magical Beast Town. In the town, besides some ordinary shops, there were also many weapon shops and medicine shops. Among them, the largest medicine shop was the Wan Yao Zhai.

Xiao Yan walked on the street paved with bluestone, carrying something wrapped in black cloth that looked like a coffin lid, which was disproportionate to his physique. This naturally attracted many strange gazes, but he ignored them, looked at the two sides of the street, and continued to walk slowly along the street.

After walking to the end of the street, Xiao Yan came to another exit of the town, and here was the entrance to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Here, countless mercenaries crowded together, shouting continuously, inviting some people to join the temporary mercenary groups they had formed. Once they felt the number of people was sufficient, these temporarily formed mercenary groups would go directly into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts and obtain magic cores. After obtaining the magic cores, they could be sold directly to the medicine shops, or they could go to the city to sell them themselves.

However, hunting magical beasts was a very dangerous thing, and the failure rate was very high. It was possible that the entire mercenary squad was unlucky and encountered several magical beasts, or a group of magical beasts, and was then wiped out directly.

Only then did Xiao Yan realize that some things were not necessarily findable just because you knew about them. Perhaps Xiao Yan could find it after searching for a year or two and turning the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range upside down. But how could Xiao Yan waste this time! It was better to rely on Little Doctor Fairy entering the mountain to gather herbs!

"Wan Yao Zhai is entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs. There are only fifty spots, and the strength must be above a Two-Star Dou Zhe. Everyone, hurry up!" A voice Xiao Yan had been looking forward to for a long time finally sounded in Xiao Yan's ear.

"Good!" Xiao Yan smiled. Xiao Yan now possessed a huge fortune of tens of millions, so he didn't feel anything about these few hundred gold coins at all.

Therefore, most temporary mercenaries would not enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range directly to hunt magical beasts, but would wait for employers. Helping employers hunt magical beasts could earn them a certain reward.

"Could it be for Little Doctor Fairy?" The middle-aged man seemed to understand why Xiao Yan had been waiting here bitterly for more than ten days, and joined immediately when he shouted that he wanted to hire people.

After Xiao Yan arrived at Qingshan Town, he didn't wait for Little Doctor Fairy at first, thinking that he could fly and that the cave he was looking for should be easy to find. However, he scouted for several days in a row and didn't find any trace of treasure.

"Hehe, thank you for the reminder!" Although Xiao Yan didn't take the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group seriously at all, he still had to thank them for their kind reminder.

"I'll join!" Xiao Yan raised his hand to signal.

Xiao Yan, who was leaning against a big tree, naturally heard the conversation of these mercenaries, but he didn't take it to heart. As long as they didn't provoke him, he couldn't be bothered to care.

Looking at the ferocious-looking Mu Li and the dozen or so mercenaries behind him, Xiao Yan smiled and didn't speak.

It was also possible that the entire squad had worked hard and hunted a few magical beasts, but in the end, they didn't even get a hair, and finally, the temporary squad disbanded. Some with bad tempers even took it out on their companions.

Therefore, most mercenary teams would not take the initiative to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but would wait for employers. This way, they could not only get the reward 100%, but if someone sacrificed themselves, they could also get a generous compensation.

"That strange young man is here again!" A mercenary looked at Xiao Yan, who was leaning against a big tree, and frowned.

"Do you want to know?" Another said teasingly.

It was just that Xiao Yan was also very helpless! He had been here for more than ten days, waiting here every day, but he just didn't see anyone.

As for who Xiao Yan was waiting for, did that even need to be asked? Of course, it was Little Doctor Fairy. Without Little Doctor Fairy, he couldn't find the treasure!

It was just that Xiao Yan was so young and had such strong strength, his status and position must not be low. The middle-aged man couldn't figure out why Xiao Yan wanted to be a temporary mercenary. If you said it was for that five hundred gold coin reward, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't believe it.

Xiao Yan waited for a while, but didn't wait for Little Doctor Fairy, but instead waited for a handsome young man.

There were also some employers who needed to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs and needed mercenaries for protection. This was when these temporary mercenary groups came into play.

Xiao Yan didn't care about the shouting of these mercenaries, found a big tree at random, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in Wan Yao Zhai clothing not far away. With a flash of his figure, he had already arrived by his side.

"Although your strength is very strong! But Little Doctor Fairy has already been taken a fancy to by Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group. So I advise you to give up this idea. After all, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake, and his father is a Two-Star Dou Shi," the middle-aged man whispered to Xiao Yan.

Others saw that Xiao Yan didn't even say a tough word, and immediately despised him.

"I don't want to! I don't want to! The last person who wanted to know seems to be still lying in bed! And in these ten-plus days, everyone who came up to provoke him didn't end up well! Either they had broken arms or broken legs." This mercenary shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"Looking at him, it seems like he is waiting for someone." One of the mercenaries gave his judgment.

"What do you think he is carrying on his back?" another mercenary asked.

"But it's been more than ten days, and we haven't seen him wait for anyone!" a mercenary couldn't help but mutter.

"I advise you to give up the unrealistic idea of pursuing Little Doctor Fairy, otherwise I will make sure you can't walk out of Qingshan Town." Mu Li was furious when he heard that Xiao Yan had been waiting here bitterly for more than ten days just to pursue Little Doctor Fairy, and he threatened him.

"Are you sure you want to join?" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan and asked in confusion. He naturally knew Xiao Yan and had heard of Xiao Yan's deeds; after all, Qingshan Town was not big. In the ten-plus days Xiao Yan had been in Qingshan Town, he had beaten up many mercenary troublemakers, so the middle-aged man naturally recognized his strength.

"Why do you say he comes here every day? He doesn't enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range when he comes here, nor does he join a temporary mercenary group, he just stands there foolishly, and stands there for a whole day." Another mercenary whispered.

"That's good! The commission this time is five hundred gold coins. You only need to protect the safety of our Wan Yao Zhai herb-gathering team. I'll pay you half first, and the other half when we return." The middle-aged man saw that Xiao Yan had listened to what he said, nodded, and said to Xiao Yan.

"I thought this youth was a great hero, but I didn't expect him to be a coward." A mercenary saw that Xiao Yan's courage became small as soon as he met Mu Li, and he was not arrogant at all like when he first came to Qingshan Town. He only felt that Xiao Yan was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

"What a coward! It was in vain that I admired him before!" another mercenary spat and said disdainfully.
