"Hmph! Is it threatening? Don't think I'm afraid of you. Yes, I admit that you are much stronger than me, but if you fight to the death, you won't be much better." Hearing Lin Qiang's threat, Tong Liang did not have a trace of fear, but instead exuded a powerful aura and glared at Lin Qiang angrily.

Level 2 innate warrior. From the momentum emitted by Tong Liang, Ou Chuyang judged Tong Liang's strength.

As Tong Liang's momentum broke out, the few people behind Tong Liang took a step forward at the same time, and there was a faint sense of fighting in each of them.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiang's side also met the other side. Judging from the momentum on the field, a big battle is about to be inevitable.

Just when the two sides were in a strong fighting spirit and were about to take action, Lin Qiang and Tong Liang took action at the same time to stop their subordinates who were about to riot. At this time, Lin Qiang said to Tong Liang: "Tong Liang, I advise you to give up this mission, otherwise, you know the outcome, and I will not keep my hand."

Tong Liang put away his momentum, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not decrease at all. He said to Lin Qiang fiercely: "I want me to give up, I tell you, it's impossible."

"Let's go and see." After saying that, Lin Qiang sneered, then waved his hand and turned around and walked first. The subordinates behind him saw the leader leaving, and hurriedly followed him. Before leaving, they did not forget to glar at Tong Liang and his men.

"Boss, let it go?" After Lin Qiang and his side left, one of Tong Liang's subordinates walked to Tong Liang's side and said in dissatisfaction.

"What should I do? This is Qipan Town. Let's go." Tong Liang was also very angry, but he still said helplessly. After that, he left with a group of indignant subordinates.

Looking at Tong Liang and others who were slowly disappearing, Ou Chuyang turned around and looked at Wu Xin and asked, "Who are they all? They look like they have a great grudge."

After hearing Ou Chuyang's question, Wu Xin explained to him: "Brother Ou still knows it. They are all mercenaries."

"Mercenary? What is that?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion.

"Brother Ou, let's talk while walking."

Seeing Wu Xin looking a little anxious, he remembered that Fang Tang was still waiting for him. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk while walking."

While walking, Wu Xin slowly explained to Ou Chuyang: "Mercenary. In the name of some free people in the Brave Martial Arts, they do not have a specific organization and do not belong to any force. They are all strong people."

"And like the two men just now, these strong men spontaneously formed a group and selected outstanding people as leaders. Such groups were called mercenary groups. After forming mercenary groups, they could hunt and kill spirit beasts, or go to places where ordinary people could not go to to collect spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, etc., and rely on selling materials, treasures and other methods to exchange for gold coins to improve their lives. However, this type of people is more for the sake of becoming famous."

"Be famous?" Ou Chuyang obviously didn't understand the reason.

"Yes, sometimes it is difficult for a person to become famous, so they force themselves to practice hard. The most effective way to practice is to challenge their own limits. So they form a mercenary group and go to dangerous places to practice everywhere. If they go alone in those places, the possibility of survival is very small. However, if a group of people go together, the chance of survival will be high. In this way, they can not only exercise themselves to the maximum extent without losing their lives, but also gain wealth. You can give more results. When they have a certain strength through training, they will naturally gain fame and be recruited by major forces, and they will have no worries about food and clothing from now on. This is a good way to become famous."

"There is another kind?" Ou Chuyang asked.

After a slowdown, Wu Xin continued: "Yes, you can see mercenaries appearing in almost every place on the mainland. Among the three empires, there are mercenary associations established relative to people like them. Mercenary associations, as the name suggests, are special organizations established for mercenaries. Mercenary associations often issue various tasks, and there are many types of tasks: those who obtain gold coins, those who increase the level of mercenary groups, those who exchange for treasures, etc. Those who obtain gold coins and exchange for treasures are tasks initiated by some rich people through mercenary associations. Mercenaries will receive rewards after receiving and completing tasks. The task of increasing the level of mercenary groups is initiated by mercenary associations. As long as the task is completed, the level of mercenary groups will be improved to a certain extent. This level is recognized by the whole continent."

After listening to Wu Xin's explanation, Ou Chuyang understood a little, "The higher the level of the mercenary group, the greater the reputation, right?"

"Haha, Brother Ou is so smart, you can understand it at a glance." Wu Xin naturally praised.

"What's so smart?" Ou Chuyang laughed at Wu Xin's praise, shook his head, and asked indifferently: "How are the mercenary groups divided?

"On the mainland, mercenary groups can be divided into eight levels, from one star to seven stars. The more the mercenary groups go, the harder it is to improve. As far as I know, there seem to be only a few dozen five-star mercenary groups in the Brave Continent, and there are only five six-star mercenary groups."

"Where is the Seven Star?" Before Wu Xin could finish speaking, Ou Chuyang continued to ask.

"Seven Stars? It doesn't seem to be there." Wu Xin thought about it and answered.

"No? Why? Is it difficult to complete the mission of the Seven-Star Mercenary Group?" Ou Chuyang was a little surprised.

Wu Xin smiled and said, "It's very difficult, but no one has completed it yet. It's just that when a mercenary group grows to a certain level, it will definitely be paid attention to by the empire or powerful sects and forces, and thus recruit them. If you want to serve the empire or sects and forces, the organization of this mercenary group must be disbanded. After all, no sect or force will allow a group within it, let alone an empire."

After listening to Wu Xin's explanation, Ou Chuyang suddenly realized that indeed, if he was the leader of a force, he would not allow such unstable factors to exist within his own force, and it would undoubtedly be as difficult as an unstable bomb.

"Then they just now...?"

"Oh, you are talking about the two mercenary groups of Gangya and Renyi." As soon as Ou Chuyang spoke, Wu Xin immediately knew what he wanted to ask.

"Steel teeth? Benevolence and righteousness?"

"The mercenary group led by Lin Qiang is called Gangya, and the other mercenary group is named Renyi. They are all famous two-star mercenary groups in Qipan Town, but the mercenary group is just older. I heard that once, Renyi mercenary group went to Rimu Forest to hunt a second-level spirit beast: Huoqing Lion, it took a lot of effort, and finally finally grind the Huoqing Lion to death bit by bit. As soon as Huoqing Lion died, the steel mercenary group appeared and saw Huoqing who was already dead.

The lion took action and snatched it. At that time, the members of the Renyi Mercenary Group had just passed a big battle, and most of the members were injured more or less. Even those who were not injured had exhausted their internal energy, including their leader Tong Liang. The Renyi Mercenary Group, which exhausted its internal energy, was no match for the Steel-Take Mercenary Group, but the result was that the Steel-Take man snatched Huo Qingshi's body. The Renyi people took a lot of effort but let the Steel-Take man pick up a bargain, and this revenge was settled." Wu Xin explained.

"Despicable." Hearing this, Ou Chuyang cursed in a low voice.

"Haha, the strong in this world are respected, and if you have strength, you have the right to speak. There is nothing despicable or not despicable. If you have strength, you can rob it. If others can't beat you, you can only swallow your anger." Seeing Ou Chuyang's angry expression, Wu Xin smiled and realized.

"I heard that the man with steel teeth got a spiritual crystal when he cut open the body of the Huo Qingshi. After the Renyi people found out, they were even more angry. Oh~, the treasure he got flew away like this, and it would not be a good idea to put it on anyone." Wu Xin shook his head, feeling regretful for the Renyi Mercenary Group in his tone.

This is the first time Ou Chuyang has heard of the word "Ling Jing?" Wu Xin said.

"Well, spiritual crystals, spiritual crystals are not available in every spirit beast. The number is too small. Spirit crystals are the crystals of spiritual energy in the spirit beast's body. Just like the dantian where the strong store internal energy, it carries almost all the spiritual energy of a spirit beast. Spirit crystals can be used for pharmaceuticals, elixirs, and can also be absorbed and increased internal energy by the strong. They can also use secret methods to make it into special items. Anyway, they have many functions and are very valuable."

Listening to Wu Xin's endless explanation for himself, Ou Chuyang's eyes gradually became strange when he looked at him. He couldn't help but wonder, how could this uncle's subordinate who only gave him food and drink every day know so much?

"By the way, last time I heard that a first-level spirit beast's spirit crystal was auctioned at the auction house of the Marin Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that four thousand gold coins were sold." As if he had not seen Ou Chu's strange eyes, Wu Xin continued to talk with relish.

"Four thousand gold coins? So valuable?" After hearing this, Ou Chuyang was very surprised. One gold coins have been enough for farmers in a small village to live for two years. How much does it cost to have four thousand gold coins? This spirit crystal is a bit valuable. And this is just the spirit crystal of a first-level spirit beast, what if it is the spirit crystal of a second-level spirit beast.

Immediately, Ou Chuyang sighed for the Renyi Mercenary Group and whispered: "Renyi and the others are really unlucky, no wonder they saw their tense posture just now. If it were me, I would have rushed up to take action long ago."

"It's not that they don't want to, but they dare not. Fighting is not allowed in Qipan Town. If the city guards find that they are fighting in this city, they will be caught in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion. After all, with their strength, in such a place, they are a little stronger than ordinary people. Any strong man from the City Guard's Mansion can defeat them. Haha." Seeing Ou Chuyang sighing so much, Wu Xin immediately answered the question, and at the same time, he also sounded the alarm for him, reminding him not to take action casually in Qipan Town.

Ou Chuyang heard the meaning of Wu Xin's words, and then turned his head and smiled gratefully to the latter. Everyone is smart, so some words don't have to be said on the table.

After laughing, Ou Chuyang suddenly stared at Wu Xin. The latter was a little scared when Ou Chuyang saw it. He smiled and asked Ou Chuyang: "What's wrong? Brother Ou, why are you looking at me like this?"

After watching for a while, Ou Chuyang then said, "Brother Wu, I really can't tell you. You know so much." The words were a little joking, but actually contained a very profound meaning.

"Well~, this is the time for the director of the hall. I just know a little bit, haha." How could I hear something in Ou Chuyang's words? Wu Xin answered vaguely, and after saying that, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Brother Wu." Ou Chuyang shouted.

"Yes." The latter agreed distractedly.

"Uncle..." Ou Chuyang was about to continue saying something. At this time, Wu Xin interrupted Ou Chuyang and said, "Brother Ou, we are here."

When Ou Chuyang heard this, he looked up and saw that the two had arrived at the door of Renhou Antique Store. He turned to look at Wu Xin. Wu Xin said, "Brother Ou, go in by himself. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. If you don't understand anything, Brother Ou should ask the hall master. Some words are not good to say from me."

Ou Chuyang nodded understandingly, and bowed to Wu Xin with a smile: "Okay, thank you Brother Wu."

"Brother Ou, please be polite." After returning the greeting, Wu Xinjing walked away.

After watching Wu Xin leave, Ou Chuyang slowly walked into Renhou Antique Store. The two old and young men were still busy in the store.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, the two men in the store looked up and found that the young man who came in was the young man a few days ago. The young man didn't say anything, and kept his hand on the work. The old man walked quickly to Ou Chuyang and said enthusiastically to Ou Chuyang: "Little brother, come in, come in with me."

Seeing the old guy's actions, Ou Chuyang immediately understood that this must have been arranged by Fang Tang. So Ou Chuyang didn't ask anything, but just said politely: "Oh, that's the old man."

"You're welcome. Haha." As he said that, the old guy reached out and pointed inside, made a "please come in" gesture, and then walked inside first. Ou Chuyang didn't say anything, but just followed the old guy silently.

When he walked to the backyard, the old guy found an excuse to retreat and threw Ou Chuyang into the yard alone. As soon as the old guy left, he squeaked, Fang Tang walked out of the room, smiled and nodded at Ou Chuyang and said, "Here you come."

The second time he saw Fang Tang, he immediately gave Ou Chuyang a different feeling. The first time Fang Tang was wearing a brocade robe, giving people a gentle and deep feeling. Today Fang Tang was wearing a slightly tight blue dress, giving people a shrewd and capable feeling. From the look he observed himself, the look of vigilance and doubt at the first time had disappeared, replaced by care and appreciation.
