MEIWITA Chapter 609: Mercenary Union

---

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly and pondered for a while.

“Young Miss Leng, do you know where you can buy Dragon Beard Herbs?”

Leng Yi shook her head and said: “Although the Dragon Beard Herb is only a grade 7 spiritual herb, but because of how special its growth conditions need to be, and the fact that it’s the main spiritual herb for refining several advanced-level grade 7 pills, so very few has been on the market on the continent. The moment they appear, they’d be bought by high-level alchemists or top forces.

“Even the headquarters of our Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance doesn’t have Dragon Beard Herb in stock.” She added.

Lou Mu Yan rubbed the teacup gently with her fingers, then raised her eyes after a while and asked: “The season for the Dragon Beard Herb to multiply is arriving soon, so where will there be Dragon Beard Herbs?”

“Deep in the core of Qing’yuan Forest is a place where Dragon Beard Herbs grows more.” Leng Yi thought for a while and said: “I also came to Qing’zhou City this time to buy Dragon Beard Herbs and some other types of spiritual herbs only grown in Qing’yuan Forest.”

“Thank you, Young Miss Leng, for telling me.” Lou Mu Yan said with a slight smile: “Then I will trouble you to gather all the other spiritual herbs I need, as many as you can.

“By the way, if there are seeds and seedings of spiritual herbs, I also want to buy them together.” She paused, then added.

Leng Yi wondered why Lou Mu Yan bought so many grade 7 spiritual herbs. Could it be that she was already a grade 7 alchemist?

But after thinking about it, she thought that the possibility wasn’t high. After all, it hadn’t even been a few years since she received the mission to descend a projection avatar on Tian’ling Continent and seeing Lou Mu Yan again now.

When her avatar descended last time and cooperated with Monarch Ming to collect the spiritual herbs and several special spars in that independent competition space, she paid special attention to Lou Mu Yan who liked to buy spiritual herbs. At the time, she judged that her alchemy skills might be around grade 4.

In such a short period of time, it was impossible for Lou Mu Yan to have advanced to a grade 7 alchemist so quickly.

Could it be that that special hobby she liked of collecting spiritual herbs started again?

“Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.” Questions be questions. Leng Yi didn’t have the hobby of probing into other people’s privacy.

Lou Mu Yan held a silver distinguished guest token and was qualified to purchase rare spiritual herbs below level 8, plus she had a good impression of her, so she still had the authority to trade all their inventory here to the other party.

After a while, Leng Yi reappeared in the private room with an interspatial ring.

“Young Miss Lou, this is what you want. The total is thirty-eight million five hundred thousand low-quality spiritual stones. Since you’re a silver-level distinguished guest, we can take off the five hundred thousand.” Leng Yi said with a smile.

With a thought, Lou Mu Yan put thirty-eight million low-quality spiritual stones into an interspatial ring that was used solely for trading and handed it to Leng Yi, “Take a look.”

After Leng Yi took the interspatial ring, she thought for a bit, then took out one of her own Communication Talismans to give to Lou Mu Yan, “Young Miss Lou, this is my Communication Talisman with my aura. If you need something in the future, you can come to me.”

“Sure!” Lou Mu Yan took the Communication Talisman and said with a smile: “Thanks!”

“You’re welcome.”

“By the way, Young Miss Leng, does your Chamber of Commerce have any books or maps that introduce Guang’ling World?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“Yes, but the entire Guang’ling World is very vast. The records of the three other races are only rough, and the records of the Human Realm are more detailed, but they’re only limited to a general understanding.” Leng Yi replied.

“I want a copy.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t know much about the Human Realm, so it was nice to have at least some general information.

Leng Yi gave instructions to that blue-clothed messenger behind her, then the man took out a jade slip and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “Young Miss Lou, this is the highest-level map and introduction of the Human Realm.”

“Alright!” Lou Mu Yan looked at Leng Yi and asked: “How many spiritual stones for this jade slip?”

“Just a jade slip, consider it my gift to you.” Leng Yi said with a smile: “Young Miss Lou, what are you going to do next? Do you need any help?”

“Thank you for your good will, Young Miss Leng. I want to venture out alone a bit.” Lou Mu Yan declined with a smile.

Although she didn’t know why Leng Yi was so friendly to her, but she didn’t plan to trouble others.

“Alright, then see you again another day!” Leng Yi didn’t force it either.

“Mm, Young Miss Leng, see you again.” After they finished chatting, Lou Mu Yan took Wu Nuan and left the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

As soon as the two left, a black shadow loomed in the private room.

“Why are you so polite and friendly to that little fellow with the strength of a Sword Sovereign?” The voice of that person sounded like a middle-aged man.

“She’s a very interesting little fellow. I rather like her vigorous and resolute style and temperament.” Leng Yi glanced at the black shadow lightly, “If she could venture out and make of her own in Guang’ling World, we can also recruit her to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.”

“Leng Yi, aren’t you thinking too highly of her.” The black shadow said indifferently.

Leng Yi said with a playful smile: “Whether I think too highly of her or not, we’d know in the future.”

Her like for Lou Mu Yan was purely a feeling. She always felt that this little girl would be extraordinary in the future.

Most importantly was that this little girl made her feel good. She always did things as she pleased, and didn’t mind taking care of those she liked, while she could also stab people that she didn’t like in the back a few times.

The black shadow knew Leng Yi’s temperament and guessed that she probably just liked that little girl.

“What’re you doing here?” Leng Yi asked.

The black shadow said: “I’m going to Qing’yuan Forest to find a kind of spiritual spar.”

“Mm, I came to Qing’zhou Prefecture this time to buy several kinds of spiritual herbs that are unique to Qing’yuan Forest. If you see any mercenaries selling some, please help me buy them.” Then Leng Yi threw a list to the black shadow.

“Got it!”

After Lou Mu Yan came out with Wu Nuan, she went to several places that sold spiritual herbs, but she couldn’t find the Dragon Beard Herb.

She heard that recently, it was the season for the Dragon Beard Herb to multiply, and many large mercenary parties would organise to search deep in the core of Qing’yuan Forest.

However, once they were found, they’d be monopolised and acquired by the Pill Tower or several major chambers of commerce through special channels, and they wouldn’t be on the markets at all.

The Dragon Beard Herb was a kind of companion herb to the Dragon Beard Beast. It was one of the main materials for several grade 7 and initial-level grade 8 pills, was seasonal, and it only grew in places where the Dragon Beard Beast lived, so it was very rare.

“Mu Yan, do you urgently need Dragon Beard Herbs?” Wu Nuan asked.

“Mm, let’s go take a look at the Mercenary Union.”

“Mercenary Union?” Wu Nuan asked in befuddlement.

“The Mercenary Union may have a mission to go to the depths of Qing’yuan Forest. I want to take a look.” Lou Mu Yan replied with a smile.

According to her recent understanding, the top forces on Guang’ling World not only included the Pill Tower, the Smithing Pavilion, Array Alliance, and Tamer’s Pagoda, but the Hidden City and the Mercenary Union were also two major organisations that stood its ground against the four major forces.

The Hidden City in Guang’ling World was also an underground dark organisation, but it wasn’t controlled by the devils like on Tian’ling Continent, and instead, it was a true human force.

The status of the Mercenary Union on Guang’ling World was also much higher and stronger than in Tian’ling Continent, and its power to rally supporters was even higher than that of the four major forces.

She had a plan in mind, so she decided to visit the Mercenary Union.

Random Note: Ahem, er, Leng Yi (and I guess black shadow), I don’t know how to break it to you but… I think, you know, I just have a tiiiny feeling that that little fellow might just become your… well, perhaps ‘Monarch Lou’ HAHA… Just a tiny feeling. XD
