Qingyun City occupies a huge area with a population of hundreds of thousands. The martial arts hall is located in the center of the city. There are many venues and facilities for practicing martial arts, and it itself takes up a large area.
The purpose of the Martial Palace is to cultivate young warriors and discover outstanding talents for use by the court and sects.
Under normal circumstances, Wudian students will not go out, unless they are students who live in Qingyun City.
Warriors play an important role in this world, and there are actually many ways to make money.
For example, being an alchemist is a very profitable profession. Once an elixir worth several hundred taels is in the hands of an alchemist and turned into a pill, its value will increase several times.
There are also formation masters, and various auxiliary training, attack, and defense formations are also valuable.
Forgers, forge weapons used by warriors and are sought after by countless martial arts practitioners.
These three professions are undoubtedly the most profitable among warriors, but not everyone can achieve these three professions. The first is talent, the second is inheritance, and the guidance and teachings of famous teachers.
As far as Luo Xiu knew, there were several students from wealthy families in the Martial Palace who were studying alchemy, formations, and casting. Their monthly expenses were tens of thousands of taels, which was an astronomical figure for him.
But in addition to these three professions, if other warriors want to have a way out, there is another popular profession, hunter!
There are countless wild beasts and monsters in many deep mountains and swamps. These creatures are naturally powerful and endowed with special gifts. Some of the materials on them have their own uses and are of extraordinary value.
The profession of hunter came into being from this.
In addition to hunting wild beasts and monsters, you can also find elixirs, precious materials, ores and other treasures in the deep mountains and swamps, which are also good things needed by alchemists, formation masters, and casters.
There is a hunter's guild in Qingyun City. If you want to become a junior hunter, the minimum requirement must be the fifth level of body refining. In the past, Luo Xiu's strength was too weak, so he never thought of embarking on this path.
But in order to improve his cultivation strength faster, the only way he could choose was to become a hunter.
Hunters can accept various tasks from the guild and get revenge after completing them, or they can freely form a team to go hunting, and process the things they get by themselves or sell them to the guild. The income of some powerful hunters is no more than that of those three special professions.
People are different.
The Hunters Guild is located in the downtown area, which is also the most lively and prosperous area in the entire Qingyun City. On the tall building, there is a sign of two crossed swords.
Luo Xiu also came here for the first time. The hall was very spacious. Many warriors were holding swords, with strong energy and blood, and talking loudly.
"So many masters!"
In Luo Xiu's eyes, the life veins of these warriors were all visible, and through the aura of the life veins, he could tell the strength of these people.
He found that there were a lot of warriors at the eighth and ninth levels of body refining, and there were a lot of them here. Boys like him at the fifth level of body refining were just rookies, and Luo Xiu also saw several warriors in the Qi Sea Realm.
At the age of thirteen, Luo Xiu's face still looked a little immature, so when he came here, he attracted a lot of attention instantly.
"Haha, boy, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. This is the Hunters Guild. Are you in the wrong place?"
A ninth-level martial arts disciple pointed at Luo Xiu and laughed. He had a badge with two crossed swords on his chest, which was a symbol of his identity as a hunter.
"I think he is a student from the Martial Palace. He wants to apply for a hunter badge. Then he can show off to other students."
"Hey, is it so easy to get the hunter badge? I think this kid will definitely fail, and his life may be at stake!"
"Not necessarily. Maybe this kid can pass?"
"Zhu Laoba, do you want to make a bet?"
Luo Xiu ignored these people, but in this environment, he could feel the boldness, freedom, and ease of a martial arts practitioner.
Every hunter here lives a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, with a fierce and evil aura. However, Luo Xiu is not afraid, but is eager!
"Maybe I have a kind of paranoid passion and madness in my bones. Maybe this is the life I really want!" Luo Xiu clenched his fists and walked towards a counter in the hunter hall.
The person who received Luo Xiu was a graceful woman with a professional smile on her face, but when she saw Luo Xiu's childish face, she couldn't help but be startled.
But she recovered quickly and said with a smile: "Little brother, how can I help you?"
"Little brother?" Luo Xiu looked slightly embarrassed, but the issue of age was not something he could control.
"Hello, I want to apply to become a hunter." Luo Xiu said.
"What?" The beautiful receptionist was stunned again, "Little brother, are you sure you want to apply to become a hunter?"
Luo Xiu nodded without hesitation and added: "My name is Luo Xiu."
Seeing Luo Xiu's somewhat red cheeks, the beautiful receptionist couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Okay, little brother Luo Xiu."
"Damn!" The beautiful woman was so naughty in her reception that Luo Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Haha, Shanshan, you don't have a crush on this kid, do you?"
"Shanshan is the most beautiful woman in our hunter branch in Qingyun City. People who want to chase her can line up from the south of the city to the north of the city, and from the east of the city to the west. Could it be that she likes the taste of tender grass?"
"No, Shanshan, this kid has thin arms and short legs. How can he be as strong and reliable as me?"
Many familiar hunters in the hall joked.
The beautiful woman named Shanshan couldn't help but blush when being greeted by these guys. She rolled her eyes, opened her red lips slightly and said: "If you want to be the man of me, Jiang Shanshan, wait until you become a four-star hunter."
Bar."
"Oh my God, a four-star hunter? It seems that I have no chance in this life..."
Many hunters beat their chests and stamped their feet, laughing and having fun.
"Hey, I want to apply to become a hunter!" Luo Xiu patted the table, feeling that he was being ignored.
Luo Xiu's actions made the hunters in the hall burst into laughter again.
Jiang Shanshan also looked at Luo Xiu, the smile on her face disappeared, and she said seriously: "Brother Luo Xiu, applying for a hunter is not a joke. For your personal safety, I hope you can think carefully before making a decision."
"What? Is it dangerous to become a hunter?" Luo Xiu asked in surprise.
"Haha, this kid is not only a rookie, but also the best among rookies. He doesn't even know the most basic rules."
"Young man, go home and feed yourself. It's not that easy to be a hunter."
From the discussions of nearby hunters, Luo Xiu learned that in order to become a hunter, it was not enough just to meet the conditions in terms of cultivation. He also needed to pass an assessment.
There will be certain dangers during the assessment. Without sufficient strength and courage, even a martial artist at the seventh level of body training may not be able to pass the assessment.
"I want to take the assessment." After Luo Xiu understood, he still said firmly.
quiet!
The entire hunter's guild hall suddenly fell silent.
"Boy, are you not burning? Since a student at the seventh level of physical training in the intermediate class of Wudian failed and died in the examination three years ago, except for some students in the advanced class who are above the eighth level of physical training who can pass the examination, don't you kid?
clear?"
"Yes, Luo Xiu, you are still young, you can wait a few years before taking the assessment." The beautiful receptionist Jiang Shanshan also persuaded.
This time she did not call Luo Xiu little brother, and her expression became more serious.
And more hunters have indifferent expressions. They have seen too much life and death, and have long been used to strange things. There are not many people who are truly warm-hearted.
"Hunters are not tested for cultivation, but for actual combat ability. What you have to face is a first-level monster, not a wild beast!" Jiang Shanshan advised again.
"I have made up my mind." Luo Xiu's eyes were firm.
"This kid is so brave, let's give him a try." A burly man said after taking a big sip of wine.
"Zhou Long, shut up, you will kill him!" Jiang Shanshan glared at the strong man.
"As long as the conditions are met, the guild should have no reason to reject my assessment application, right?" Luo Xiu tapped the table with his fingers, "Besides, are you so sure that I will die if I take the assessment?"
"Haha, the young man is quite stubborn, I like it!" The strong man named Zhou Long laughed, "If you pass the assessment, I will let you join my team!"
"It's a joke. Can a boy with no hair on his head pass the test? If he passes, I'll twist his head off and play it as a ball for him!" On the other side, a man with slightly beard said disdainfully.
"Zhou Long, do you dare to make this bet?" the bearded man said loudly.
"Damn it, Guo Huzi, what do you mean?" Zhou Long glared and shouted.
In Luo Xiu's perception of life's veins, the cultivation levels of Zhou Long and Guo Huzi should both be in the Qi Sea realm. He did not expect that these two people came into conflict because of their own assessment issues.
But no matter what, becoming a hunter is imperative for Luo Xiu, because whether he is accepting tasks or buying and selling items in the guild, he must be a hunter.
Under Luo Xiu's repeated insistence, Jiang Shanshan took out a few pieces of paper. One of them was a form for application for assessment, and she had to fill in her corresponding information. The other pieces of paper were a contract, which probably meant applying.
The Hunters Guild will not be held responsible if any accident occurs to the person taking the assessment.
Luo Xiu did not hesitate. He believed that he could pass the test with his own strength. Otherwise, if he could not pass this level of test, how could he enter a higher realm of martial arts in the future?
With a swipe of a pen, Luo Xiu signed his name, and then a receptionist from the Hunters Guild took Luo Xiu to the assessment venue.
"I bet this kid will fail the test!" In the hall, Guo Huzi slapped the table, yelled and stared at Zhou Long, saying: "Zhou Long, do you dare to bet?"
Both of them have a small team, and they usually dislike each other and often confront each other tit for tat.
There were so many people present, and seeing his old enemy Guo Huzi being so arrogant, Zhou Long became a little angry. He stood up and kicked the stool away, saying angrily: "I made a bet with you!"
