The Gift of the Mercenary Corps

  Ouyang Jinqi quickly returned to the inn, took out his horse, and prepared to head home. Who would have thought that on the way, he would run into that small merchant named Luca again, who was also the sales manager of the Hague Mercenary Group...

  "Miss, you're back from the Monster Forest!" Luka adjusted his collar, thinking about how Ouyang Jinchuan had miraculously absorbed the magic crystal, a feat that was truly unheard of and unseen. He couldn't help but feel an overwhelming urge to rush over and beg for guidance from this exceptional master.

  "Uh-huh." Ouyang Jinqiu nodded.

  "Thinking back to the first time she came into contact with the magic crystal, and also the spatial backpack Lucas gave her, she smiled with interest and said: 'What new toys do you have here that I can take a look at?'"

  As she spoke, she also planned to give Luka a gift. Ouyang Jinchuan was ruthless towards her enemies, but she wouldn't be stingy towards those she respected. As she said this, a pile of spiritual medicine slid in front of Luka, leaving him shocked.

  "My heavens!" Luca's mouth was agape, heaven help him, he wasn't seeing things, was it really the legendary Wild Mountain Ginseng?! That was a high-grade spiritual medicine from deep within the Demon Beast Forest! My god, had this little ancestor actually gone into the depths of the Demon Beast Forest?!

  Luka was instantly petrified at the sight before him, completely unaware of his own appearance, with drool dripping down his chin and wetting his clothes.

  Ah ah ah, what is this? Ambrosial Herb!!!!! This is a priceless treasure that can't be bought with all the money in the world and is now being sold on the black market at an astronomical price. My god, this young lady who single-handedly defeated the demonic beast and saved those mercenaries from the jaws of death, just what kind of power does she have!!!!!!!

  Luca barely calmed his mind, these spiritual medicines were too precious, he didn't dare to accept them, so he refused with a heavy heart: "Miss, don't mention that you saved our mercenary group's lives before, just these spiritual medicines alone, our mercenary group really doesn't have the financial resources to take them."

  Ouyang Jinqiu didn't care at all. For these things, she originally didn't have anything to worry about and could just go get them again if needed.

  "Take it." Ouyang Jinqiu casually pushed the spiritual medicine over and said, "Let me see what other treasures you have. The magic stone crystal from last time was pretty good, if the supply is sufficient, get me a whole box of them." Compared to these spiritual medicines, the magic stone crystals were not that expensive after all. Lu Ka hastily said, "Yes, the team leaders just returned, thanks to your blessings, our harvest this time is quite large."

  Nick immediately brought up some strange things, some of which he couldn't even recognize himself, but if they could be appreciated and liked by the big shots, it would be even better.

  "But miss, these things are worthless, one thousand-year-old wild mountain ginseng would be enough, this fragrant sacred grass is too precious, I really can't accept it."

  Ouyang Jinqiu burst out laughing, "Don't worry, these spiritual medicines are of no great use to me. I have many more!" As he spoke, he began to scan the strange objects Lu Ka had taken out, and only heard Jianjian's excited howls in the space, "Ahhh, what did I see!!!!"

  "Miss, a few days ago our team leader specifically instructed me that if I met you, I must give this to you." As he spoke, he took out a delicate small box from his bosom and handed it over to Ouyang Jinqiu.

  Ouyang Jinqiu took over the brocade box, slowly opened it, and picked up a green gemstone that looked like a crystal ball. The gemstone sparkled in the sunlight, looking very beautiful. Even with spiritual power sensing, nothing unusual could be felt.

  "This thing has been passed down in our mercenary group," Luca continued, "A treasure for a hero, the captain said to give it to you, thanking you for saving his life in the Monster Forest."

  "'Overflowing nourishment', this is indeed a great thing to enhance one's spiritual power! Those mercenaries really are generous!" Jiǎn jiǎn hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: "It's also possible that they only know it's a treasure but don't recognize its value, haha"

  "Is it really as exaggerated as you said? If you dare to cheat me, believe it or not, I'll burn your barbecue tonight. You've grown up so big and never eaten phoenix before!"

  "Waaah, Master, you're so cruel! Can't you show some respect to an old man like me? I'm a phoenix, a divine beast!! How can you bear to do this to me!!! Poor me, I haven't even married yet, waaaahhhh......"

  The cheap ones were flying around in Ouyang Jinqiu's space, dropping a space of phoenix feathers. Ouyang Jinqiu looked at them and thought to himself, "If I sell these phoenix feathers, won't they be very valuable?" As he said this, he looked at the cheap ones as if he had seen a treasure.

  Jiang Jiang looked at Ouyang Jinqiu with a not-so-good intention, flapped her wings and covered them, Oh my god, Master is so scary, Jiang Jiang is so pitiful!!

  At this moment, the green crystal ball in Ouyang Jinqiu's hand turned into powder under her spiritual power, and a strand of green ** drilled into her skin along with Ouyang Jinqiu's skin.

  In an instant, Ouyang Jinqiu's spiritual power increased by more than 10%, and his original body, which had been tempered through the washing of his marrow, suddenly became transparent and incomparable. It seemed as if every pore could feel the infinite spiritual power in nature. At this moment, the spiritual power of heaven and earth surrounded Ouyang Jinqiu, layer upon layer, rushing towards him like a lost child rushing towards its mother.

  In an instant, the heavens and earth were transformed, with a change in the colors of the wind and clouds.

  Luca's gaze towards Ouyang Jinchuan had changed, this... could it be a divine demon? Could he be a top-tier god from the realm of gods?

  Good heavens, I, Luca, never thought I'd actually cross paths with a master from the Divine Realm. Overwhelmed by the majestic aura of heaven and earth, Luca had intended to pay respects but ended up fainting from excitement instead.

  Ouyang Jinqiu entered a state of meditation, and layer upon layer of heavenly spiritual energy flowed unceasingly along his meridians, surging in, condensing, and tempering.

  Ouyang Jinqiu's every bone had been tempered by the heavenly spiritual energy for millions of times. It can be said that from ancient to modern times, no one has ever heard of someone who can temper a single bone for millions of times.

  At this time, the masters on the mainland could no longer sit still. They saw that such a majestic heavenly energy was sweeping towards the direction of the Demon Beast Forest, one by one, their faces turned pale, trembling non-stop. Could it be, could it be that someone was going to ascend to the Divine Realm? Heaven, wasn't the passage between the Divine Realm and the mortal world already sealed off? One by one, mysterious masters rushed towards the place where Ouyang Jinchuan was located at high speed.

  Ouyang Jinqiu didn't know that his short period of cultivation would attract the attention of people all over the continent. He just felt so comfortable and warm, and in his mind, he was thinking without any politeness, if he could upgrade like this every day, it would be great, and he still had to cultivate knitting!

  "Congratulations, Master! You've leveled up!" Jianjian was also excitedly dancing and cheering on the side, with a strange Phoenix language coming out of his mouth: "Pheew! Perfect!!!"

  If others knew Ou Yang Jin Xi's thoughts, they would probably be so jealous that they'd jump into the river. This kind of thing only happens in legends, and you've already experienced it once, which is a huge blessing. Yet this girl is still so ungrateful, wishing she could experience it every day.

  It was just five minutes later, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. Ouyang Jinqiu stretched his waist comfortably, saw that the surrounding trees and buildings were all reduced to powder, and Ouyang Jinqiu was stunned.

  Could it be that all of this was caused by me? No way, I'm a good citizen who loves the country and the people, I really didn't intentionally harm public property! Ouyang Jinqiu muttered to himself as he hastily retreated with Lu Ka, not wanting to be discovered.

  It took a long time for Luca to wake up, "Miss, what happened just now? Did you save me again?"

  Ouyang Jinqiu adjusted his clothes and said seriously: "Just now, a master from the Divine Realm accepted me as his apprentice. I have such a mysterious master, you must keep it a secret for me! If my master finds out... you understand."

  Seeing Ouyang Jinqiu's solemn and deep feelings, that cold breath, that majestic momentum, Luka didn't understand where he was, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, I know nothing, I haven't seen anything."

  "My god, the master of the divine realm is too awesome! Too amazing! I, Luca, actually know a future top expert in the divine realm. Oh my, no one would believe me if I told them!"

  After fooling Luca, Ouyang Jinqiu put all the strange objects in Luca's hand into his own spatial ring to let Jianjian identify them, and then threw a bunch of spiritual medicine that Luca had never seen before back at him, before leaving this place.

  All the way, I heard non-stop screams of "cheap" and "unbelievable". What kind of magical elixir is this? What kind of weird crystal is this? At first, Ouyang Jinqiu was still quite excited, but later on, he became numb to it. He couldn't have imagined that these top-notch treasures were all unrecognized by anyone. The weirdest thing was that all these treasures were in one person's hands.

  If Luca knew, he would have regretted it till his intestines turned green. He actually sold these treasures at the cheapest price.

  "Master, you still remember that book I gave you? Now you can start practicing alchemy."

  "Remember? It was that tattered book, didn't seem like much just by looking at it," said Ouyang Jinqiu with a smile, recalling their previous conversation about the same book.

  "Trash! You actually call it trash!" Jiǎn jiǎn wailed, "That's the masterpiece of the former Medicine Emperor of the Divine Realm, unfortunately, the Medicine Emperor saved too many people who should have died but didn't back then, which led to heavenly punishment, and that's why this book wasn't passed down. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen into my hands."

  "Haha, I was just teasing you!" Ouyang Jinqi smiled and said: "Is it really that fierce?"

  Jian Jian smiled complacently and said, "Of course, alchemy is rare on the distant mountain roads, and it's even harder to get books that have been passed down. With this book and these spiritual medicine treasures, I can finally practice my alchemy skills."

  Ouyang Jinqi took out the book and smiled lightly, saying: "That day I wanted to throw it away, but thinking about how uncomfortable it is to sit anywhere, I can use it as a cushion, so I didn't throw it away..."

  "Shameful shamefulness overflowing on his face."

  Ouyang Jinqiu also just found out that the tattered book given by Jianjian was actually so awesome, and started to pick it up while hurrying on the road.

  Hehe, new book is out, seeking votes and rewards! Let those who envy me turn green with envy! I love you guys, muah muah...
