Live Strong in the Wilderness

However, right now he didn’t have the opportunity or the suitable place to tame the other party.

After extracting some memories about Yunqi Luotian, Xu Yi arrived at the Mercenary Union.

Yunqi Luotian wanted to form his own mercenary team; for the past year, he had been striving to hunt down the Demon Race.

The Demon Race was much more formidable than the Fierce Beasts.

A Divine Master of level 16 could only hunt the level 13 Demon Race.

The demon crystals of the Demon Race contained spiritual power, which was a treasure that Divine Masters could moderately absorb.

Therefore, demon crystals were extremely valuable.

Upon arriving at the Mercenary Union, Xu Yi went to a window, then took out 100 demon crystals of level 10 Demon Race from the Star Ring he got from Yunqi Luotian.

"I want to establish a beginner mercenary team." Xu Yi pushed the demon crystals and his identity token inside, bending down to speak to the staff inside.

The reason Xu Yi chose Yunqi Luotian was because he was relatively tall, standing at 170 cm.

Because Yunqi Luotian had royal blood from the Jialan Royal Family in his veins.

The Jialan Royal Family often mingled with people of other races, but they wouldn’t formally marry those women into the family, nor give their children the royal surname and status.

Therefore, there were actually quite a few Jialans like Yunqi Luotian who had royal blood, at least over a million people.

Each person had their own soul token, which was impossible to forge.

The laws of the Jialan Civilization were still very strict, and lawbreakers were quite rare.

"Name." The person inside asked mechanically.

"Qin Fan Mercenary Corps." With these words, Xu Yi pushed a piece of paper inside.

The staff inside glanced at the text, then at Xu Yi, and continued to handle Xu Yi’s procedures.

After ten minutes or so, three gold cards were thrown out from inside.

The cards were inscribed with the words ’Qin Fan Mercenary Corps.’

With these cards, Xu Yi’s mercenary corps was considered established.

However, he still needed to hand one of the cards to the Mercenary Bank. Then, he could recruit personnel and form a real mercenary team.

Setting up a mercenary corps required the identity of a senior citizen.

This senior citizenship mainly depended on bloodline, and the other way was by achievements. Achievements were gained by hunting the Demon Race.

Demon Race level 10 and above held achievement points, level 10 was worth 1 point, level 11 was worth 1.1 points.

To become a senior citizen, 500,000 achievement points were needed.

Therefore, Yunqi Luotian relied on his bloodline to obtain his senior citizen status.

Because his mother was a senior citizen, and his father was of the royal family, he naturally obtained senior citizen status.

Within the Jialan Civilization, there were still fewer than 5 million senior citizens.

Therefore, his status was quite valuable.

Otherwise, Xu Yi wouldn’t have targeted him.

After giving a mercenary card to the Mercenary Bank, Xu Yi returned to the academy where he had previously been lying low.

Luojia Nana was a team member that Yunqi Luotian wanted to recruit.

It was well known that Yunqi Luotian liked Luojia Nana, but Luojia Nana wasn’t interested in Yunqi Luotian.

Because Luojia Nana felt that Yunqi Luotian was too gentle, not domineering at all.

Additionally, it was because Yunqi Luotian was relatively poor.

According to Yunqi Luotian’s plan, after establishing a mercenary team, he would rope Luojia Nana into joining.

Luojia Nana had a good partner named Jialan Xuefei.

This was something Xu Yi valued highly.

Royal bloodlines couldn’t establish mercenary teams, but they could join mercenary teams.

Xu Yi felt that the Jialan Royal Family’s situation was completely different from other Jialan people; even their cultivation techniques and knowledge were different.

Thus, the only way to understand the deeper secrets of the Jialan Civilization was by becoming a member of the Jialan Royal Family.

Since Xu Yi wasn’t familiar with this, he didn’t directly target the royal family.

Life is only once, if he was exposed, everything could be over.

Being cautious is never wrong.

Speaking of which, the Jialan Civilization was quite similar to humans, only that the average Jialan person was somewhat shorter.

"Yunqi Luotian, why are you at my father’s academy again? Didn’t I warn you not to come?" A cold voice rang out, and then Xu Yi saw a less than 150 cm tall Luojia Nana holding a long sword, looking fiercely at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi took out the mercenary gold card and said, "I’ve already established a mercenary team, and now I’m inviting you to join."

Luojia Nana was taken aback, for her strength was relatively weak, being only a level 12 Divine Master.

Such a Divine Master would unlikely be accepted by any mercenary team.

Furthermore, Luojia Nana’s biggest dream was to become the most powerful Mercenary Empress.

Thus, she had always thought of joining a mercenary team.

Unfortunately, her talent didn’t match her dreams.

Put bluntly, she wouldn’t achieve becoming a Mercenary Empress in her lifetime.

However, her good friend Jialan Xuefei did have the strength to reach that level.

At 16, she already possessed the strength of an 18-level Divine Master, which made her outstanding even among the royal family.

"No, it’s impossible, how could you, being so poor, have the demon crystals to establish your own mercenary team?" Luojia Nana was unwilling to believe that Yunqi Loutian before her was a potential young talent.

Xu Yi couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, thinking: No matter which world, there’s no future in being a sycophant.

"You don’t need to worry about that. Anyway, this mercenary gold card is real, and no one would dare to fraudulently reproduce it. So, are you willing to join my Qin Fan Mercenary Corps?" Xu Yi was not Yunqi Luotian, so naturally, he didn’t need to continue pandering.

His goal was to get close to Jialan Xuefei.

"Qin Fan Mercenary Corps, what a strange name. Didn’t you say before you wanted to name it Nana Mercenary Corps? Why change the name?" Luojia Nana asked, frowning.

"People always change, don’t they?" Xu Yi chuckled, knowing that Luojia Nana would surely join.

For someone who aspired to become a Mercenary Empress but remained teamless was quite ridiculous, wasn’t it?

So, she would definitely join.

"Although the name is a bit odd, I can still join your mercenary team for your sake. However, I need to become the deputy commander, and any future recruitment needs my approval." Luojia Nana confidently stated.

Xu Yi smiled slightly and said, "As you wish, Deputy Commander Nana."

"Deputy Commander Nana?" Luojia Nana was momentarily stunned and then satisfactorily said, "Good title, Commander Luotian."

"Our mercenary team currently is just us two, a bit too few, so I need to go see Xuefei and have her join our team. You don’t mind royals joining, do you?" Luojia Nana asked, glancing at Xu Yi.

Since if a team had royal members, a 5% tax would be levied. So, most mercenary teams were hesitant to accept royals.

"Of course, as she’s your friend, I naturally welcome her. Money doesn’t concern me; my dream is to become the King of Mercenaries." While speaking, Xu Yi couldn’t help but mimic Yunqi Luotian’s signature expression.

"Great, I’ll go see Xuefei now. Quickly, hand me the commander gold card, otherwise, Xuefei won’t believe it." Luojia Nana exclaimed excitedly.

So, Xu Yi handed the gold card to Luojia Nana.

The first step was considered successful for him.

Next, it was about how to establish a strong relationship with Jialan Xuefei and uncover the secrets of Jialan, as well as those of the Divine Race.

The Jialan Civilization wasn’t seen as a major threat by Xu Yi, it was those incarcerated Divine Race members that were the most dreaded enemies.

If the Divine Race regained their freedom, Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star would be in peril.

Xu Yi’s target was the Divine Race; only by understanding their situation would Xu Yi know how to proceed.
