He used to live with his mother in the Qiu City at that time. His grandma and grandma loved him very much, and his mother's position in the Ding Clan was not that high, but by relying on her identity as a genius, she could call the wind and summon the rain in the Ding Clan. She was still a little tyrant.

It had been four years since his maternal grandma, grandpa, and mother had gone missing. Four years ? He hadn't come to Qiu City for so long in such a long time. Bai Chen followed the crowd and enjoyed the scenery of Qiu City. For four years, Qiu City hadn't changed much.

After renting a shabby little house with Yan Le, Bai Chen followed him to the Adventurer's Guild. If one were to mention the most bustling place in a city, it would definitely belong to the Adventurer's Guild.

The plaza was filled with a clamor, and one spirit user after another laughed and conversed with each other. If one looked carefully, they would see that most of the spirit users were carrying spirit weapons that were still stained with blood, and every one of them had a kind of aggressive aura that could only be found on a magical beast.

After yesterday's battles, coupled with the fact that he was a body practitioner, Bai Chen also had his own aura. He did not look like a novice, and no one dared to look down on him.

Yan Le skillfully found a seat and sat down. He took out a wine jug and gulped it down. He then exchanged information with a small group of adventurers.

"The 30-man team of Silver Maple Trading Company is purchasing a variety of magical beasts at a fair price. The one who wants to make a fortune should hurry up and register."

Yan Le, hearing the commotion, slapped Bai Chen in the face and said, "Ah Chen, let's go. Silver Maple Trading Company's reputation is pretty good. We might even be able to earn quite a bit of money this time."

The most valuable thing about a magical beast was naturally the magical crystal, but the value of a magical beast's fur, muscles, bones, even its internal organs and flesh was not small, and could not be separated from the production of medicines, spiritual weapons, and clothing. But after entering the mountain range, the adventurers could not bring a magical beast forward, they could only take away the magical crystal, and the rest of the magical beasts were thrown away, one had to know, a magical beast's corpse was not much cheaper than a magical crystal.

This was a common mode of purchase for caravans. The caravan hired 30 ordinary people to drive the Hunchbacked Beasts, and then recruited some adventurers to go together to the Dark Night Mountain Range. The adventurers only killed the magical beasts, and then brought back the corpses, and the ordinary people would then dismember the bodies, leaving behind the parts needed for the shop. There were two meters high Hunchbacked Beasts carrying the goods, and among the ordinary people, there were three to five Spirit Apostles to activate the formation, making it very easy for the magical beasts to not rot.

A team of adventurers would not accept these kinds of missions. There were ordinary people in the team, and it was a very big backpack, and with so many people walking together, there had always been a lot of strange people. In fact, the most important thing was that no one would be able to trust a stranger with their back!

If not for Bai Chen, Yan Le would never have taken part in these kinds of missions. But now, these kinds of missions were very suitable for rookies like Bai Chen. After all, there were many people around.

As soon as Yan Le left, the people from the Silver Maple Trading Company became interested. A storekeeper personally came to receive him.

"Haha ?" "Welcome, welcome! I am Liu Danian, the owner of Silver Maple Trading Company."

"Yan Le, this is my brother, Bai Chen." Yan Le introduced.

The shopkeeper glanced at Bai Chen and did not seem to mind. Advanced Spirit Apostles would not even be qualified to enter the caravan if not for Yan Le.

"Manager, how many people are still missing?"

Perfect. Including you eight Spirit Hunters this time, there are five primary level Spirit Masters and one intermediate level Spirit Master. With a high level Spirit Master like you, the strength of the hunting team will greatly increase.

"Sure, sure. When will the caravan depart?"

"Everyone is here. Since it's early today, the rations and water caravan has made some preparations. If you're fine, then it's best for you to leave today."

Yan Le thought about it for a moment. The two of them were fine, so he nodded in agreement.

The caravan was not small; there were 30 ordinary people chasing the Hunchbacked Beast and the other six people in the hunting team stood together. It was clear that the six of them were a small team, and when they saw Bai Chen and Xiao Chen, the six of them did not even take a glance at them.

"Psykers respect strength. Here, Yan Le is the most powerful. This time, we'll just let Yan Le be the leader of the caravan. Do you have any objections?" Liu Danian said confidently.

"Humph!" I'm sorry, but the five of us are used to listening to our boss. If he thinks he can beat us, then we will naturally listen to whatever he says. "

Liu Danian's face turned dark as he looked at the six of them. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay, in that case, the five of you better listen to your boss. Brother Yan Le, I will leave the rest of the caravan to you."

"Sure, sure." Right now, he truly regretted joining Silver Maple Trading Company. He hadn't expected that such a small caravan would have so many things to deal with.

The merchant caravan had supplies, and they did not have a single person. After replenishing their supplies, Bai Chen followed the merchant caravan into the depths of the Dark Night Mountain Range.

Even though it was daytime, the Dark Night Mountain Range was still full of danger. Wild beasts' howls could be heard from far away, and the dense forest blocked out the sunlight. This was because Bai Chen had been taught carefully on the road, otherwise he wouldn't even know where to go.

After walking for a long time, the caravan finally stopped. Seeing that it was not too late, the spirit cultivator led by the six people laughed and said, "Brother Yan, we just happen to have eight people here from all sides. Two people in a team, how about that?"

Yan Le nodded and said, "That's right. To the east, west, south, east, and north, they all depend on luck. Let's draw lots."

The six of them did not have any intention of becoming enemies with Yan Le. They were a caravan now, and none of them were foolish enough to make enemies everywhere. Yan Le and Bai Chen captured the east side, and a few of them amiably said a few words, each looking for their own spirit beasts.

Although Yan Le was a Spirit Master, Bai Chen was from the Spirit Sect. With his powerful Spiritual Awareness and the Spiritual Qi traces in the air, Bai Chen could easily discover some clues.

Releasing his Spiritual Sense, he continued walking as he walked. Bai Chen suddenly discovered that there was a small blade of grass emitting a faint spiritual energy, so he ran over to peel it apart. He saw a palm-sized herb that was blood-red, and it was very beautiful.

"Big Brother Yan, this herb looks very much like Blood Qi Grass."

Yan Le's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Not bad, it's a stalk of Blood Qi Grass. Although it isn't very old, it can still be sold for a good price. Ah Chen, I didn't think that you would have such great knowledge on spirit medicines."

Blood Qi Grass was only a Grade 1 Intermediate Elixir and was a common elixir, but it was not cheap to obtain. Blood Qi Pill made from Blood Qi Grass was a holy medicine for healing, and the demand was huge, so even though Blood Qi Grass was common, its value was not low.

"Luck, just luck." Bai Chen happily harvested the Blood Qi Grass and patted his backpack in satisfaction.

Seeing that Bai Chen was very knowledgeable about spirit medicine, Yan Le was not in a hurry. He took Bai Chen around for a stroll so they could find spirit medicine. If they could find enough spirit medicine, even if they didn't hunt spirit beasts, the two of them would still be able to earn a lot.

Bai Chen squinted his eyes and released his Spiritual Sense to feel the fluctuations from the surrounding Spiritual Qi. After walking for a short distance, he actually found another stalk of Blood Qi Grass. This made the two of them extremely happy.

"Hmm?" Bai Chen furrowed his brows as he looked in the direction of the tyrannical aura. At this moment, Yan Le's aura also changed. The long blade in his hand was slightly drawn out, as he solemnly pointed it in the direction of the violent aura.

One must know that the reason why he could sense Spiritual Beasts approaching him was because of his strength as a High Rank Spirit Master. In addition, he had the sixth sense that he had been stuck at the border of life and death for countless days and nights. Moreover, Bai Chen was clearly a fledgling; his experience in life and death was basically zero and his Spiritual Energy was just that of a High Rank Spirit Apostle.

Yan Le was in front, Bai Chen was behind, the two of them vigilantly stepped step by step towards the trees, suddenly a black shadow appeared, Yan Le shouted out, the long blade in his hand suddenly moved, Bai Chen was not slow, the moment the Spirit Beasts attacked, he used his Spirit Awareness to check, and the long blade in his hand also quickly came out.

The Spirit Beast's sneak attack failed, and it dodged Bai Chen's blade. However, Yan Le cut open its back, causing blood to flow out. The Spirit Beast let out a roar of pain, its eyes glaring at the two of them.

"Be careful, Ah Chen. It's a Black Shadow Leopard, at the level of a High Rank Spiritual Master." Yan Le flexed his shoulders, and his long saber was filled with spiritual energy as he swung it forward.

Bai Chen did not rush forward. Instead, he stood behind Yan Le and watched the fight between the black shadow leopard. It was just a black shadow leopard and was more than enough for Yan Le alone.

The black panther soon discovered that Yan Le was a tough nut to crack, it let out a roar and was about to run away, but how could Yan Le let it go? Bai Chen also detected the black panther's actions and turned around to block it. The black panther's body suddenly blurred, as if it had turned into a shadow, and it quickly escaped from Yan Le.

The black shadow leopard's ability could confuse Yan Le, but it could not confuse Bai Chen who spread out his spiritual sense. Bai Chen did not hesitate to slash out, the black shadow leopard roared and clawed at Bai Chen.

"Bam!"

Bai Chen retreated three steps, blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, the black shadow leopard was cut by Bai Chen's blade, its claws were also bleeding, Yan Le took the chance to injure the black shadow leopard heavily, then, the long blade in his hand continued to press down, the injured black shadow leopard struggled for 10 minutes, in the end, Yan Le's blade cut off its throat, the blood sprayed out a meter high, the black shadow leopard was lying on the ground, blood spurted out from its neck, and its body stiffened up shortly after.

"Ha ha!" Yan Le happily laughed towards the sky. This black shadow leopard's strength was extremely high and was in no way inferior to his. To be able to kill it unharmed, it was simply unimaginable.

"Ah Chen, are you alright?" One must know that the black shadow leopard was a High Rank Spiritual Master level Magical Beast. Let alone a High Rank Spirit Apostle, even if it was him, he would have to be careful of that claw.

"It's just a small wound, it's no longer a problem." Bai Chen smiled but did not say anything. The claw just now was truly powerful. Luckily, his body was tough enough. If an ordinary High Rank Spirit Apostle were to take this blow, even if they didn't die, they would still be seriously injured.

"There's no justice, there's no justice." Seeing that Bai Chen was only slightly injured, and could recover in one day, Yan Le continuously shook his head and cursed. Damn, is this a High Rank Spirit Apostle or a High Rank Spirit Master?
