Control Gu

Anyang City is the capital of Lian Kingdom, so it is naturally extremely prosperous.In such a big city, the mercenary union is indispensable.

In the guild hall, many mercenaries were browsing the mission panel, looking for missions that suit them.There are also some mercenaries gathered in groups by the tables and chairs in the hall where people can rest.Most of the people who sat leisurely by the side had confirmed their missions and waited here.

"Leader, it's been so long? The publisher hasn't arrived yet?!" Wen Boyuan played with his medal in his hand.The role of this medal is not only to reveal the rank of the mercenary, but also the badge between the tasker and the issuer in the mercenary union will have a sense of touch.Obviously, this small but very delicate badge is the work of a craftsman.

What their mercenary group accepted this time was a task of collecting spirit herbs, collecting Yunli grass, the main medicine of the third-level elixir, Yunling Pill.Yun Ling Pill is a third-level elixir, which can be used by spiritual practitioners after breaking through as a spiritual master. It can increase spiritual power, and the step of absorbing spiritual power is omitted, and the spiritual power can be transformed directly.The speed of practice is much faster than normal practice.

For a long time, Yunling Pill has been in short supply in the city.Even Yunlicao, the main medicine of Yunling Pill, is difficult to buy in the city.In this mercenary guild, there have been many missions to collect Yunli grass recently.In the past, this kind of mission can be completed as long as you bring the things back. This mission is a bit special compared to similar missions. The poster asked him to take him out of the city to collect Yunli grass.

Of course, the reward for this task is also several times higher than that for simple collection.All they had to do was take the publisher with them, they didn't ask them to keep him safe.For them, the danger of the task remains the same, but they can get several times the benefits, and there is no reason to refuse.

"The task time is determined to be today." Dong Xiangyu poured a glass of wine casually, still calmly.If the publisher missed the time, even if they did not complete the task, the reward would not be less.

Dong Xiangyu picked up the full wine glass, and as soon as he put it to his lips, he saw the badges on the chests of several other people light up. "coming."

After drinking the wine in the cup, Dong Xiangyu turned his head to look at the gate of the mercenary union.

Those who had just joined the mercenary union also had a shining badge on their bodies.He was dressed in black, which completely wrapped his body in the skirt, making it difficult to distinguish his figure.There is a one-piece hood on the clothes, which can cover half of a person's face when worn on the head from a distance.

From their positions, they could only see the long black hair flowing from the hood, and the white chin that was different from those of the mercenaries.When he walked, he also had a certain rhythm. They had only seen this kind of behavior in some young masters.The person who issued this task seems to have a high status, and it is very likely that he is a real wealthy nobleman.

Dealing with this type of people usually has both benefits and risks.If the task is completed properly, the income will be higher than usual.If the publisher doesn't like it, it may even bring disaster.Dong Xiangyu and Wen Boyuan exchanged glances, and they could see the caution in their gazes.

"Xuanling mercenary group?" Fang Chimo discovered the existence of their table when he entered the mercenary union. Only the mercenary medals on their chests shone faintly in his eyes.

"I'm Dong Xiangyu, head of the Xuanling Mercenary Corps. I don't know what to call you?" Dong Xiangyu stood up when Fang Chimo walked over. These nobles were very proud.If you are not careful, it may make both parties unhappy.

"Yunmo." Fang Chimo's name was quite well known in Anyang City, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to reveal it.This time he went out, he used his mother's surname.

Dong Xiangyu subconsciously looked at the face of the person who came, but found that they, the task issuer, were wearing the same black mask.It appears and disappears under the hood, even if the hood is pulled off, all they can see is half of their faces.

The mission issuer this time obviously didn't want them to know his identity, and Dong Xiangyu didn't care.They are just the relationship between the employer and the employed. After the task is completed, they can get paid.As for the true identity of the poster, knowing more would not do them any good.

"When are we leaving the city?" Fang Chimo asked.

"You can do it now." Dong Xiangyu has a good impression of Yun Mo, no matter what kind of identity Yun Mo is, it is not difficult to get along with him.People with noble status are usually used to giving orders.They accepted the task this time, and how to carry out the task should be arranged by them.If Yun Mo directly ordered them to set off, they would definitely obey, but they would feel that Yun Mo was overstepping the mark.

Dong Xiangyu glanced at the others, and ordered. "We set off."

"Let's go." Wen Boyuan agreed, and the others left the table one after another, and followed Dong Xiangyu out of the mercenary guild.

Walking out of the mercenary guild, Wen Boyuan and the others no longer had the relaxed and comfortable look on their faces, and were obviously much more serious.They guarded Dong Xiangyu and Fang Chimo in the center without any trace, with a bit of vigilance on their faces.

When passing through the city gate, Dong Xiangyu greeted the guard of the city gate. The guard of the city gate glanced at them and let them go directly.They are very familiar with these mercenary groups that often come and go in and out of Anyang City, so they will not investigate in detail.

Fang Chimo glanced at the guards on both sides. The purpose of his mission was to get out of the city, not the so-called Yunlicao.

For other people, this Anyang city is a place of reassuring practice, but for him, the attraction of this Anyang city is far less than that of the outside of the city.

Even though his meridians have been connected now, he has no intention of practicing other methods besides Gu art.The practice method of Gu art is very different from other spiritual power cultivation methods. Its essence lies in "poison" and "worm". Poisonous plants and insects that can satisfy him are rare in the city.

The mainland attaches great importance to alchemists, and most of the low-level spirit herbs and medicines can be bought in the city.Poison is something that can only be used by people with sinister thoughts. Even lower-level poisonous weeds are very rare in the city, so he can only look for them by himself.

The Fang family has completely given up on Fang Chimo, and the Xuanheyuan where he lives is hardly guarded by anyone.Xuanhe Garden happens to be located on the easternmost side of Fang's house, and you can leave directly by climbing over the courtyard wall.

It's easy to get out of Fang's house, but it's impossible to climb over the wall when you go out of the city.The walls of all cities in the entire Lingtian Continent have fixed formations.Only those who have reached the holy rank can come and go freely, and those with low cultivation can only walk through the city gate obediently.

If he went out of the city alone, he would have to spend a lot of effort, and might even reveal his identity.It's much easier to follow these mercenaries.

Not long after leaving the city gate, Fang Chimo saw a fur grass.Fur grass contains a small amount of toxin, if ordinary people accidentally eat it, it will cause short-term paralysis of the body.It has no effect on spiritual practitioners, and in the eyes of others, it is not much different from weeds.

Fang Chimo reached out and picked up the fur grass. If someone observed carefully, he would find that his movements seemed random, but he didn't damage any leaves of the fur grass.His fingers shuttled between the blades, and his eyes never left.

When Dong Xiangyu saw Yun Mo's behavior, he smiled, "Brother Yun probably seldom goes out."

"Yeah." Fang Chimo did seldom go out. In the past, he almost always worked hard to practice spiritual power.Occasionally, I have some free time, and I mostly drink and have fun with the young masters of other families.His life is quite enjoyable, even a bit extravagant.

"People who go out often will not be interested in fur grass. There are a lot of these things in the Yangtong Forest. Let's walk a little longer and we will be able to reach the outskirts of the forest." Dong Xiangyu said.He still didn't say a word, if it weren't for people who were somewhat interested in elixir, they wouldn't care even if they saw fur grass.

This fur dust grass is common and has no effect.But it happens to be somewhat similar to cloud bamboo grass, which is a blind adjuvant of Yunling Pill.

Naturally, Dong Xiangyu would not think that Yun Mo misunderstood the medicinal herb, they were not pharmacists, and they could tell just by relying on their daily mission experience.Yun Mo announced the task of Yunli Cao, even if he is not a pharmacist himself, he must be very close to the pharmacist, and he will only be more familiar with the properties of the medicine than they are.

Even if it was just a fur grass, Yun Mo looked at it very seriously, which shows how much he attaches importance to medicinal herbs.Such a person is more likely to be a pharmacist himself.

Of course, in addition to the pharmacist, someone who knows the properties of medicine very well may also be the pharmacist's assistant.The aura around Yunmo really doesn't look like an assistant.This one may have been automatically ignored by Dong Xiangyu.

Fang Chimo used the trace of Gu seeds in his blood to circulate in this fur dust grass, and then took away all its medicinal properties, and the toxin was deposited in the fresh blood.The Gu species in his bloodline also grew a little bigger.Throwing the fur grass down casually, "Let's continue on our way."

Fang Chimo's eyes shone slightly, and he regretted that this bit of poison didn't help his cultivation much.Even if it is used to raise Gu, the effect of the raised Gu insects is pitifully small.It is true that a single Fur Grass has no effect. If there are more than ten or twenty Fur Grass, or even a piece of Fur Grass, it is conceivable how terrifying the medicinal effect will be.

"Okay, then we'll use our spiritual power to make our way." Dong Xiangyu's speed was obviously much faster.

Yangtong Forest is not far from Anyang City, mercenaries like them who lick their blood with their swords for money, naturally cannot hire spirit beast mounts for comfort.

Fang Chimo circulated the trace of Gu in his body into the meridians.Ordinary spiritual practitioners mainly rely on the meridians to absorb spiritual power. Although there is spiritual power stored in the flesh and blood, it is not much, and it cannot be used without authorization.The Gu technique he practiced relies on the blood to store power, which can also be mobilized into the meridians.

Once the Gu species enters the meridians, it can also act as spiritual power to use spiritual skills.Even when using it, there will be unique fluctuations in spiritual power.

Dong Xiangyu noticed a trace of spiritual power appearing on Yun Mo's body, and the smile on his lips became more real.Yun Mo's mission with them this time seems to be to familiarize himself with the properties of the medicine, but Yun Mo does not have any spiritual power fluctuations.A person who cannot use spiritual power is naturally impossible to be a pharmacist.

He speeded up. If Yun Mo wanted to keep up with them, he would naturally have to use his spiritual power.Even if he carries a cherished spiritual weapon on his body, it can hide the fluctuation of spiritual power.Once he used his spiritual power, the spiritual weapon would no longer have any effect.

Sure enough, it wasn't that Yun Mo didn't have spiritual power, but the spiritual power was hidden.This Yunmo is very likely to be a pharmacist.A pharmacist, even if he can't make friends, don't offend him.
