Yan Yue calculated her current savings, she still had 51 pieces of middle grade spirit stones left, but she had spent all of her low grade spirit stones, not a single one was left.
Thinking of what the shop assistant had said a moment ago, Yan Yue decided that the next place she would go was the Guang Ming Town.
The Recovery Pill was a Rank 5 Spirit Pill, it required 100 pieces of middle grade spirit stones, although the Rank 5 Spirit Pill was not too high, but this town did not sell it, because very few cultivators used it, the sales were very low, it could only be found in the largest Guang Ming Town in the south.
It seemed that she had to find something to do, spirit stones would not fall from the sky, and she really did not have many spirit stones left.
Yan Yue originally planned to go to other places to stroll around, but after coming out of the pill shop, she suddenly felt that she was very poor, she did not even have the mood to stroll around.
In the end, she decided to go to the Mercenary Building with Morin to look around, doing missions to earn spirit stones, this was one of the faster ways to earn money.
Entering the Mercenary Building from the entrance, there was a huge square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, there were pillars everywhere.
Those empty pillars were for cultivators to post missions, after paying the basic fee to the Mercenary Building, you could get a recording stone jade strip, and record your mission on the empty pillars.
The recorded pillars would show the mission issued by the cultivator, it would record the content of the mission, the level of the mission, the completion reward and other information.
Of course, paying the basic fee did not mean that your mission could be hung there forever, the number of pillars was limited, if everyone went to hang a few missions, then it would have been full long ago.
Therefore, after paying the basic fee to the Mercenary Building, the mission could be hung there for a week.
When the time was up, the pillar would automatically erase the information, there was no need for the owner to personally remove it.
Of course, the owner could also continue to hang the mission, if the mission was hung there for a full year and still no one could complete it, then the owner could apply to post the mission on the first underground floor, of course, the completion reward, the level of the mission and the required fee would all increase.
After the cultivator completed the mission and received the reward, they would also have to pay 1% of the fee to the Mercenary Building, capped at a piece of high grade spirit stone.
Yan Yue looked at the posted missions, there were all kinds of missions, the rewards were also different, of course, most of them were settled in spirit stones.
She didn't go to the underground mission hall. Just looking at the missions on the square was already very difficult for her, let alone the ones below. It would be a waste of time to look at them.
With her current cultivation of Qi Disciple Level 8, there were very few missions that she could accept. If she formed a mercenary team with others, the possibility of completing the mission would be higher.
But Yan Yue really didn't want to do that. She was a female cultivator and only had the cultivation of the eighth level of Lianqi Realm. Even if she could barely fight with a cultivator in the early stage of Zhuji Realm, she was still no match for him. At that time, there would definitely be a cultivator in the Zhuji Realm in a mercenary team. A cultivator in the Zhuji Realm like her would be cannon fodder. When something happened, she would definitely be placed in the front, and the rewards she would get would be very little.
This was not what she wanted. As expected, strength determined everything!
In fact, there were some quests that Yan Yue could accept, but the rewards were too low and it would take too much time. Yan Yue didn't plan to accept them.
But there were still some quests that Yan Yue took a fancy to. They were some quests that required killing Level 4 or Level 5 demonic beasts. Some of them required demonic nuclei, while others required demonic beast blood, skin, bones, or muscles.
These quests were a little difficult for her now. If she encountered a single demonic beast, it would be fine. What if it was a group of demonic beasts?
What if she just killed one demonic beast and was exhausted, and other demonic beasts appeared?
However, Yan Yue still wanted to give it a try. Although she couldn't match the names of the demonic beasts with the ones she had seen before, if she really encountered the demonic beast, she would be able to recognize it and fight it. After all, she didn't stay on the mountain for three years for nothing.
She had killed a lot of demonic beasts, but she couldn't name them.
Because she had just come here not long ago, it didn't mean that her understanding of those demonic beasts was lower than that of the people here. She understood them thoroughly through practice, unlike the people here who only knew about those demonic beasts through jade slips.
This also caused those people to use methods to deal with demonic beasts, which were difficult to adapt.
But she understood a lot of methods to deal with demonic beasts. Even if it was the same type of demonic beast, she could still find a few ways to deal with it.
But this didn't mean that she was much more powerful than them. If she really compared herself, she was still far behind. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles. Those cultivators who chose different ways to deal with different demonic beasts over tens of millions of years of accumulated knowledge were better than her, who had only rolled around in a pile of demonic beasts for three years.
Sure enough, strength and knowledge were indispensable for cultivators.
Yan Yue came out of the Mercenary Pavilion. Originally, she wanted to buy some books that introduced demonic beasts and medicinal herbs to read. But Morin had these basic books, so she didn't.
Without going to other places, Yan Yue led Morin back to the Immortal's Cave.
After instructing him to refine some Detoxification Pills and Spirit Essence Pills, she entered the Immortal's Cave.
Yan Yue planned to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining within this month. At that time, the difficulty of the task would be relatively lower.
After closing the stone door, he turned around. A pair of big round eyes stared at Yan Yue and turned around. It looked very cute.
"Master, how many years do I have to drip food?"
The Tuantuan looked at its master pitifully. It had been hungry for a while. If it didn't eat, it would go on strike. Uh!
Well, although it didn't seem to be helping its master with anything right now.
Gently stroking her forehead, Yan Yue remembered this time that she seemed to have forgotten about this matter to Mars.
Using her Divine Sense, she probed the storage bag. The food inside was only enough to last for twenty days. But if the Tuantuan slightly controlled it, it shouldn't be a problem to last for a month.
"I forgot. You control your appetite. After a month, there will be a big meal for you to eat."
The Tuantuan originally planned to act coquettishly and beg its master to buy it more. But when it sensed the coldness of its master, it immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of its mouth into its stomach.
Although it was a little afraid of its master, it still liked its master very much. Although its master's temperament was a little cold, she was still good to it. In short, it just liked its master. From the moment it broke out of its shell, it treated its master as its own family.
Yan Yue threw some food to the Tuantuan and entered into cultivation.
Originally, she had reached the critical point of breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining, so it only took her more than twenty days to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining and reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Taking out the jade slip that she got from Morin, Yan Yue carefully read it. These books that introduced the basic history of the mainland and the basic medicinal herbs and demonic beasts were very important to her.
Yan Yue had spent three years in the He Yi Mountain Range and safely returned to the small town of human cultivators. It could be said that it was a small miracle. She, who did not even have the strength of Foundation Establishment, was actually still alive. Needless to say, her luck was very good.
Of course, on the way down the mountain, she deliberately avoided dangerous demonic beasts and dangerous swamps and jungles. Otherwise, she would not have the life to be so leisurely.
But now, she had no choice but to enter the dangerous mountain range again. She could not recklessly rush in without knowing anything.
That was not called courage, it was called stupidity.
Yan Yue thought for a moment. She still had seven days left to renew the Immortal's Cave!
Now that she had just stepped into the ninth level of Qi Refining, there would not be much progress in cultivation. It was better to learn more and lay a good foundation for the task in a few days.
Yan Yue was still a rookie who had just stepped into the Cultivation World. Her reading and memory ability was only a little better than mortals. Therefore, Yan Yue memorized the knowledge in the jade slip into her mind. After memorizing it for a day, she would review it in her mind and improve her reaction ability.
She did not want to have to think for a few seconds in her mind when she really encountered a problem. It must be known that sometimes, a second could determine life and death.
If a cultivator at the same level as Yan Yue memorized the jade slip, it would only take two or three days to finish memorizing it. However, Yan Yue spent a full six days.
She did not know how the people here memorized it, but Yan Yue believed that it was more important to let the body remember those things than to let the brain remember.
Yan Yue believed that the knowledge she learned on Earth was also useful here. She wanted to let the knowledge she learned be like a conditioned reflex, making the most appropriate choice in the shortest time.
On the last day, Yan Yue lay on the only bed in the Immortal's Cave. She did not think about anything else.
Instead, she thought about her future.
She had penta spiritual roots. Compared to ordinary cultivators, she needed to spend more time to improve her cultivation. If she did not cause trouble, she would definitely encounter a bottleneck at a certain height. Her lifespan would run out and she would die.
Besides, this was the Cultivation World. How could it be ordinary?
Even if you knew your place and did not provoke others, it did not mean that you would not be bullied by others, right?
In this world, strength spoke. The truth would always stand on the side of the strong.
The weak did not get sympathy, but disdain. Being bullied by the strong was a very common thing in this world.
There was no other way. This was the law of this world.
It seemed to be overbearing and unreasonable, but it still had its Heavenly Dao.
In this regard, Yan Yue still liked the rules of this world. The fist spoke, right?
Then, let's see whose fist was bigger!
The more one learned, the higher one's cultivation would be. It was not to defeat more people, but to not be defeated by more people.
Just like martial arts, it existed to protect oneself.
Wasn't the magic that Yan Yue was practicing now also a kind of martial arts?
She had to make herself stronger. She had to become so strong that no one could bully her. She did not want to be so naive as to not hurt others. That way, others would not hurt her. Could it be that she had to be hurt by others to learn a lesson?
If it was only a serious injury, then yes, you learned a lesson and could become stronger to take revenge.
But what if the lesson was fatal? How could a dead person take revenge on the person who hurt you?
She had seen a lot of other people's stories in the modern world. Since she had seen so much, she could not just treat it as a story and forget it.
What happened to others was to let the person who saw it learn the lesson and experience!
Yan Yue opened her eyes. Her gaze was still cold, but it was much more resolute than before. In the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of unyielding, calm, and unswerving determination that disappeared in an instant.
