Chapter 52 Team formation
Xiao Yuan looked at the woman in white dress who was already seated and treating the wounded, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The little medical fairy’s current appearance reminded him of four words: angel in white.

Especially the faint smile on her face, which was truly refreshing. No wonder these usually fierce mercenaries became as docile as sheep when facing her.

But good looks cannot be eaten. Xiao Yuan, who had been eating dry food all the way, was almost starving.

After nodding to the clerk, Xiao Yuan walked out of Wanyaozhai and found an inn. After having a good meal, he returned to his room, checked it carefully, and used his fighting spirit to condense some ice crystals in the gaps of the doors and windows. Then he lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.

I haven't had much sleep these days due to the rush on the road. Plus, my strength is low now and my body can't take it.

After all, we are about to enter the Warcraft Mountains, so we need to stay alert.

Silent all night.

The next morning, as soon as a bright light appeared in the sky, Xiao Yuan's biological clock woke him up on time.

After waking up from a good sleep, the fatigue in his bones dissipated a lot, and Xiao Yuan's spirit became full again.

This time point is a good time to practice fighting spirit. The saying that a day's plan begins in the morning also applies to practicing fighting spirit.

The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. Only by moving forward unremittingly can you become stronger.

Sitting upright on the bed, Xiao Yuan slowly closed his eyes, formed a practice hand seal, and began to practice the Wind Roll Technique.

During these three days, he traveled during the day and studied the Wind Scroll Technique at night. Now, the fighting spirit in the Qingmu Qi Palace has been transformed into green wind-attributed fighting spirit.

During the actual practice process, Xiao Yuan could vaguely feel that although both were high-level Xuan-level skills, the quality of Wind Scroll Technique was slightly inferior to that of Profound Ice Technique.

But even so, it is a high-level Xuan-level technique, so the effect is naturally not bad.

In addition, Xiao Yuan can also absorb the energy from medicinal materials through secret methods, so his current cultivation speed is even faster than in Wutan City.

I'm afraid that within a month, Xiao Yuan will be able to break through to the six-star fighter!

After practicing for two hours, Xiao Yuan opened his eyes.

The street outside the window has become noisy, and a new day has begun!

After a simple wash, Xiao Yuan walked out of the inn and headed towards another exit of Xiaoyan Town.

Because, that is also the entrance to the Warcraft Mountains.

When Xiao Yuan arrived at the exit slowly, there were already quite a few mercenaries gathered there, shouting loudly and constantly recruiting lone mercenaries who wanted to go into the mountains.

These people are like a wild team playing a dungeon. Under certain requirements, they will form a team and enter the World of Warcraft Mountains.

The mercenaries they wanted to recruit basically had some life-saving trump cards and dared to enter the World of Warcraft Mountains alone.

Xiao Yuan belongs to the latter, but he has no interest in joining the former's team.

Because he came to Qingshan Town not just to enter the Warcraft Mountain Range for training.

We must also prepare in advance for the expansion of the Xiao family's power.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan's target will be the well-organized mercenary groups in Qingshan Town. There are only three such mercenary groups in the whole town, with about a hundred people in each group. Most of the members are above the fighter level, and it is said that the leaders of the three mercenary groups are all fighters. They can be said to be one of the most powerful forces in Qingshan Town.

With Xiao Yuan's current strength as a five-star fighter, it would not be difficult for him to deal with some low-level fighters if he exerted his full strength.

The problem is how to gather these three mercenary groups under his command and arrange someone he can trust to manage them.

While Xiao Yuan was silently pondering in his heart, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the town, and an excited shout was heard:
"Wan Yao Zhai is going to the Monster Mountain Range to collect herbs. Little Medical Immortal is also going with them. There are only fifty spots available, and the strength must be above that of a two-star fighter. Everyone hurry up!"

The loud shouting silenced the noisy crowd for a moment, but then the mercenaries who thought they had met the requirements rushed towards the middle-aged man in Wanyaozhai's clothes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan did not hesitate at all. He took the Dragon Step and shuttled through the crowd like a spirit snake. He soon rushed to the front.

"I'll come first!"

Xiao Yuan said with a vibrant smile on his face, raising his hand.

"Uh?"

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old and dressed in a somewhat noble manner, the middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, what we need is a fighter, a fighter above two stars!"

Obviously, he did not believe that Xiao Yuan had such strength at such a young age, but because he could not see through Xiao Yuan's background, he spoke politely.

But the mercenaries behind him who were "cut in line" were not happy about it and immediately started to curse:
"Where did this little baby come from? The hair hasn't even grown yet, and it's just wandering around!"

"Get out of the way, kid! Don't waste our time!"

At the same time, a big man with a beard walked towards Xiao Yuan, put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him away.

The smile on Xiao Yuan's face suddenly disappeared. Before the man's arm could fall on him, he leaned down, supported the ground with his left foot, and kicked the man on the chin with his right foot.

boom!
Xiao Yuan did not use that much force in this kick, but the attack position was deadly, and the big man fell straight to the ground and fainted.

The fighting power of this blow that knocked down a fighter shocked the entire audience, and immediately no one complained anymore.

After all, in the eyes of mercenaries, whoever has the bigger fist deserves respect.

"now what?"

Xiao Yuan didn't even look at the big man behind him. A smile reappeared on his face and he asked lightly.

"Young man, you are truly gifted. At such a young age, you have already broken through to the level of a two-star fighter. You are the first one to do so. The reward for a mercenary is 500 gold coins. Your mission is to escort our Wanyaozhai herb-picking team back and forth safely. I will pay you half of the reward later, and the other half will be settled after you return."

There was a flash of surprise in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he said with a smile.

Xiao Yuan shook his head, waved his hands, and said lazily: "Forget it, is it worth giving 500 gold coins separately? Just give them to me all at once when you come back."

"Since the little brother said so, then of course there is no problem."

The middle-aged man nodded and spoke kindly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan stood aside and waited.
