Chapter 9: Hunter!

Qingyun City occupies a huge area with a population of hundreds of thousands. The martial arts hall is located in the center of the city. There are many venues and facilities for practicing martial arts, and it also takes up a large area.
The purpose of Wudian is to train young warriors and discover outstanding talents for use by the court and sects.
Under normal circumstances, Wudian students will not go out unless they are students who live in Qingyun City.
Martial artist has a pivotal position in this world, in fact, there are many ways to make money.
For example, the alchemist is a very profitable profession. When the value of a few hundred taels of elixir is in the hands of the alchemist, once it becomes an elixir, the value will be doubled.
There is also the formation mage, various auxiliary cultivation, attack, and defense formations are also expensive.
Founders, crafting weapons used by martial artists, are sought after by countless martial arts practitioners.
These three professions are undoubtedly the most profitable among martial artists, but these three professions are not something everyone can do. The first is talent, second is inheritance, and the guidance and teaching of famous teachers.
As far as Luo Xiu knows, there are also a few students from extraordinary backgrounds in Wudian who study alchemy, formation, and casting. The monthly expenses are tens of thousands of taels, which is simply astronomical to him.
But in addition to these three professions, if other warriors want a way out, there is a popular profession, hunter!
There are countless beasts and monsters in the deep mountains. These creatures are naturally strong and blessed. Some of the materials on their bodies have their own purposes and are of great value.
The profession of hunter came into being from this.
In addition to hunting beasts and monsters, you can also find elixir, precious materials, ores and other treasures in the deep mountains. They are also good things for alchemists, magicians, and casters.
There is a hunter guild in Qingyun City. If you want to become a junior hunter, the minimum requirement must be five levels of body refinement. In the past, Luo Xiu's strength was too weak, so he never thought of embarking on this path.
But in order to improve his cultivation strength faster, the only way he could choose was to become a hunter.
Hunters can accept various tasks from the guild and get revenge after completing them. They can also freely form a team to go out hunting. The things they get are handled by themselves or sold to the guild. Some powerful hunters have no more income than those of the three special professions. Poor people.
The Hunter's Guild is located in the downtown area, which is also the most lively and prosperous area in Qingyun City. On the tall buildings, there is a sign of crossed swords.
Luo Xiu was here for the first time. The hall was very spacious, and many warriors held swords in their hands.
"Lots of masters!"
In Luo Xiu's eyes, the life lines of these warriors were in full view. Through the breath of life lines, he could distinguish the strength of these people.
He found that there were a lot of martial artists with eight layers and nine layers of body refining. Luo Xiu also saw several of them.
At the age of thirteen, Luo Xiu's face was still slightly immature, so when he came here, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Haha, boy, look at your skin and tender flesh, this is the Hunter's Guild, is it wrong?"
A nine-layered martial artist pointed at Luo Xiu and laughed. A badge with a double sword crossed on his chest was a symbol of his status as a hunter.
"I think it should be a student of Wudian. I want to apply for a hunter badge. Then I can show it off to other students."
"Hey, how easy is it to get a hunter's badge? I think this kid will definitely fail. Maybe he will have to explain his life!"
"It's not necessarily. Maybe this kid can pass?"
"Lao Zhu, do you want to make a bet?"
Luo Xiu didn't pay attention to these people, but in this environment, he could feel the kind of boldness, unrestrained, free and easy as a martial arts practitioner.
Every hunter here lives a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife. His breath is fierce and savage. However, Luo Xiu is not afraid, but a little eager!
"Maybe there is a kind of paranoid blood and madness in my bones, maybe this is the life I really want!" Luo Xiu clenched his fists and walked toward a counter in the Hunter's Hall.
The person who received Luo Xiu was a woman with a graceful figure, with a professional smile on her face, but when she saw Luo Xiu's immature face, she was also taken aback.
But she recovered quickly and said with a smile: "This little brother, what can I do for you?"
"Little brother?" Luo Xiu's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he was not able to control the issue of age.
"Hello, I want to apply to become a hunter." Luo Xiu said.
"What?" The beauty reception was stunned again, "Little brother, are you sure you want to apply to become a hunter?"
Luo Xiu nodded without hesitation, and added: "My name is Luo Xiu."
Seeing Luo Xiu's flushed cheeks, the beauty receptionist couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckles, "Okay, little brother Luo Xiu."
"Damn!" Luo Xiu couldn't help rolling his eyes because of the naughty reception of the beauty.
"Haha, I said Shanshan, you won't like this kid anymore?"
"Shanshan is the number one beauty of our Qingyun City Hunter Branch. People who want to chase her can travel from the south to the north, from the east to the west. Do you like the tender grass?"
"Don't ah Shanshan, this kid has short arms and thin legs. Where can I be strong and reliable?"
Quite a few hunters who knew each other in the hall joked.
This beauty reception called Shanshan was also blushed by these guys. He rolled his eyes and opened his lips lightly. He said: "I want to be my Jiang Shanshan man, wait until you become a four-star hunter. Right."
"Gosh, four-star hunter? It seems that I have no chance in my life..."
Many hunters beat their chests and feet, and they were laughing and playing.
"Hey, I want to apply to be a hunter!" Luo Xiu patted the table, feeling that he was ignored.
Luo Xiu's actions made the hunters in the hall burst into laughter again.
Jiang Shanshan also looked at Luo Xiu, with a smile on his face put away, and said with a serious face: "Little brother Luo Xiu, the hunter application is not a joke. For your personal safety, I hope you can think carefully before making a decision."
"Why? It's dangerous to be a hunter?" Luo Xiu asked in surprise.
"Haha, this kid is not just a rookie, he is also the best of rookies, he doesn't even know the most basic rules."
"Young man, go home and have milk, hunters are not so good."
From the discussion of hunters nearby, Luo Xiu learned that if he wants to become a hunter, it is not enough for his cultivation to meet the conditions, and he needs to be assessed.
There will be a certain degree of danger in the assessment process. Without sufficient strength and courage, even a martial artist with the seventh level of body refining may not be able to pass the assessment.
"I want to participate in the assessment." Luo Xiu said firmly after understanding.
Quiet!
The entire lobby of the Hunter's Guild fell silent.
"Boy, don't you have a fever? Since three years ago, a Wudian Intermediate Class Refining 7th grade student failed and died in the assessment, except for some senior class students with the 8th grade or higher ability to pass the exam, isn't it? understand?"
"Yes, Luo Xiu, you are still young, you can wait a few years for the assessment." The beauty receptionist Jiang Shanshan also persuaded.
This time she didn't address Luo Xiu's little brother, and her expression became more serious.
But more hunters have a cold expression. They have seen more life and death, and they have long been familiar with them. There are not many people who are really enthusiastic.
"The hunter's assessment is not the cultivation level, but the actual combat ability. What you have to face is a first-level monster, not a beast!" Jiang Shanshan persuaded again.
"I have decided." Luo Xiu's eyes were firm.
"This kid is so spine, let him try it." A burly man said after taking a sip of wine.
"Zhou Long, shut up, you will kill him!" Jiang Shanshan glared at the strong man.
"As long as the conditions are met, the guild should have no reason to reject my appraisal application, right?" Luo Xiu tapped the table with his fingers, "Furthermore, are you so sure that I will go to the appraisal to die?"
"Haha, the guy is quite stubborn, I like it!" The strong man named Zhou Long laughed, "If you pass the assessment, I will let you join my team!"
"Joke, can a kid with no full fur pass the exam? If he passes, I will twist his head and kick him a ball!" On the other side, a man with a slightly whiskered face said disdainfully.
"Zhou Long, dare you to make this bet?" the slightly whiskered man said loudly.
"Fucking, what do you mean Guo Xiu?" Zhou Long yelled.
In Luo Xiu's perception of life context, Zhou Long and Guo Xiu's cultivation should be in the air-sea state. The two people were on the bar because of their own assessment problems, which made him unexpected.
But in any case, it is imperative for Luo Xiu to become a hunter, because whether it is accepting a mission or buying and selling items in a guild, he must be a hunter.
Under Luo Xiu’s repeated insistence, Jiang Shanshan took out a few pieces of paper, one of which was a form for applying for an assessment, and he had to fill in his own corresponding information, and the other pieces of paper were a contract, which probably meant an application. The hunter's guild will not be responsible for any accident in the assessment.
Luo Xiu didn't hesitate. He believed that he could pass the test with his own strength. Otherwise, if he couldn't even pass the test of this degree, how could he talk about entering the higher realm of martial arts in the future?
With a swipe of the pen, Luo Xiu signed his name, and then a receptionist from the Hunter's Guild took Luo Xiu to the assessment site.
"I bet this kid will not pass the test!" In the lobby, Guo Xiu patted the table, yelling and staring at Zhou Long, and said, "Zhou Long, dare you bet?"
Both of them have a small team, and they don't look at each other on weekdays, and they often face each other.
With so many people present, Zhou Long was also a little angry seeing the arrogant old rival Guo Xiu, stood up and kicked the stool away, and said angrily: "I bet you!"
