While walking, Wu Xin slowly explained to Mo Ran: "Mercenary. On the Brave Continent, it is a name for some free people. They have no specific organization and do not belong to any force. They are all strong people."

"And like the two men just now, these strong men spontaneously formed a group and selected outstanding people as leaders. Such groups were called mercenary groups. After forming mercenary groups, they could hunt and kill spirit beasts, or go to places where ordinary people could not go to to collect spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, etc., and rely on selling materials, treasures and other methods to exchange for gold coins to improve their lives. However, this type of people is more for the sake of becoming famous."

"Be famous?" Mo Ran obviously didn't understand the reason.

"Yes, sometimes it is difficult for a person to become famous, so they force themselves to practice hard. The most effective way to practice is to challenge their own limits. So they form a mercenary group and go to dangerous places to practice everywhere. If they go alone in those places, the possibility of survival is very small. However, if a group of people go together, the chance of survival will be high. In this way, they can not only exercise themselves to the maximum extent without losing their lives, but also gain wealth. It can be said that they can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop. When they have a certain strength through training, they will naturally gain fame and be recruited by major forces, and they will have no worries about food and clothing from then on. This is a good way to become famous."

"There is another kind?" Mo Ran asked.

After a slowdown, Wu Xin continued: "Yes, you can see mercenaries appearing in almost every place on the mainland. Among the three empires, there are mercenary associations established relative to people like them. Mercenary associations, as the name suggests, are special organizations established for mercenaries. Mercenary associations often issue various tasks, and there are many types of tasks: those who obtain gold coins, those who increase the level of mercenary groups, those who exchange for treasures, etc. Those who obtain gold coins and exchange for treasures are tasks initiated by some rich people through mercenary associations. Mercenaries will receive rewards after receiving and completing tasks. The task of increasing the level of mercenary groups is initiated by mercenary associations. As long as the task is completed, the level of mercenary groups will be improved to a certain extent. This level is recognized by the whole continent."

After listening to Wu Xin's explanation, Mo Ran understood a little, "The higher the level of the mercenary group, the greater the reputation, right?"

"Haha, Brother Mo is so smart, you can understand it at a glance." Wu Xin naturally praised.

"What's so smart?" Mo Ran laughed at Wu Xin's praise, shook his head, and asked indifferently: "How are the mercenary groups divided?

"On the mainland, mercenary groups can be divided into eight levels, from one star to seven stars. The more the mercenary groups go, the harder it is to improve. As far as I know, there seem to be only a few dozen five-star mercenary groups in the Brave Continent, and there are only five six-star mercenary groups."

"Where is the Seven Star?" Before Wu Xin could finish speaking, Mo Ran continued to ask.

"Seven Stars? It doesn't seem to be there." Wu Xin thought about it and answered.

"No? Why? Is it difficult to complete the mission of the Seven-Star Mercenary Group?" Mo Ran was a little surprised.

Wu Xin smiled and said, "It's very difficult, but no one has completed it yet. It's just that when a mercenary group grows to a certain level, it will definitely be paid attention to by the empire or powerful sects and forces, and thus recruit them. If you want to serve the empire or sects and forces, the organization of this mercenary group must be disbanded. After all, no sect or force will allow a group within it, let alone an empire."

After listening to Wu Xin's explanation, Mo Ran suddenly realized that indeed, if he was the leader of a force, he would not allow such unstable factors to exist within his own force, and it would undoubtedly be as difficult as an unstable bomb.

"Then they just now...?"

"Oh, you are talking about the two mercenary groups of Gangya and Renyi." As soon as Mo Ran spoke, Wu Xin immediately knew what he wanted to ask.

"Steel teeth? Benevolence and righteousness?"

"The mercenary group led by Lin Qiang is called Gangya, and the other mercenary group is named Renyi. They are all famous two-star mercenary groups in Ziyun City, but the mercenary group is just older. I heard that once, Renyi mercenary group went to Rimu Forest to hunt a second-level spirit beast: Huoqing Lion, it took a lot of effort, and finally finally grind the Huoqing Lion to death bit by bit. As soon as Huoqing Lion died, the steel mercenary group appeared and saw Huoqing who was already dead.

The lion took action and snatched it. At that time, the members of the Renyi Mercenary Group had just passed a big battle, and most of the members were injured more or less. Even those who were not injured had exhausted their internal energy, including their leader Tong Liang. The Renyi Mercenary Group, which exhausted its internal energy, was no match for the Steel-Take Mercenary Group, but the result was that the Steel-Take man snatched Huo Qingshi's body. The Renyi people took a lot of effort but let the Steel-Take man pick up a bargain, and this revenge was settled." Wu Xin explained.

"Despicable." Hearing this, Mo Ran whispered.

"Haha, the strong in this world are respected, and if you have strength, you have the right to speak. There is nothing despicable or not despicable. If you have strength, you can rob it. If others can't beat you, you can only swallow your anger." Seeing Mo Ran's angry expression, Wu Xin smiled and realized.

"I heard that the man with steel teeth got a spiritual crystal when he cut open the body of the Huo Qingshi. After the Renyi people found out, they were even more angry. Oh~, the treasure he got flew away like this, and it would not be a good idea to put it on anyone." Wu Xin shook his head, feeling regretful for the Renyi Mercenary Group in his tone.

"Ling Jing?" This is the first time Mo Ran heard about the word Wu Xin said.

"Well, spiritual crystals, spiritual crystals are not available in every spirit beast. The number is too small. Spirit crystals are the crystals of spiritual energy in the spirit beast's body. Just like the dantian where the strong store internal energy, it carries almost all the spiritual energy of a spirit beast. Spirit crystals can be used for pharmaceuticals, elixirs, and can also be absorbed and increased internal energy by the strong. They can also use secret methods to make it into special items. Anyway, they have many functions and are very valuable."

Listening to Wu Xin's endless explanation for himself, Mo Ran's eyes gradually became strange when he looked at him. He couldn't help but wonder, how could this uncle's subordinate who only gave him food and drink every day know so much?

"By the way, last time I heard that a first-level spirit beast's spirit crystal was auctioned at the auction house of the Marin Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that he had sold four thousand gold coins." As if he had not seen Mo Ran's strange eyes, Wu Xin continued to speak with relish.

"Four thousand gold coins? So valuable?" After hearing this, Mo Ran was surprised. One gold coins have been enough for farmers in a small village to live for two years. How much does it cost to have four thousand gold coins? This spirit crystal is a bit valuable. And this is just the spirit crystal of a first-level spirit beast, what if it is the spirit crystal of a second-level spirit beast.

Immediately, Mo Ran sighed for the Renyi Mercenary Group and whispered: "Renyi and the others are really unlucky, no wonder they saw their tense posture just now. If it were me, I would have rushed up to take action long ago."

"It's not that they don't want to, but they dare not. There are no fighting in Ziyun City. If the city guards find that they are fighting in this city, they will be caught in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion. After all, with their strength, in such a place, they are a little stronger than ordinary people. Any strong man from the city guard's mansion can defeat them. Haha." Seeing Mo Ran's emotion, Wu Xin immediately answered the question, and at the same time, he also sounded the alarm for him, reminding him not to take action casually in Ziyun City.

Mo Ran heard the meaning of Wu Xin's words, and then turned his head and smiled gratefully to the latter. Everyone is smart, so some words don't have to be said on the table.

After laughing, Mo Ran suddenly stared at Wu Xin. The latter felt a little scared when Mo Ran looked at him. He smiled and asked Mo Ran, "What's wrong? Brother Mo, why are you looking at me like this?"

After looking at it for a while, Mo Ran said, "Brother Wu, I really can't tell you. You know so much." The words were a little joking, but actually contained a very deep meaning.

"Well~, this is the time for the director of the hall to be in charge of the work. I just know a little, haha." How could I not hear anything in Mo Ran's words? Wu Xin answered vaguely, and after saying that, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Brother Wu." Mo Ran shouted.

"Yes." The latter agreed distractedly.

"Uncle..." Mo Ran was about to continue saying something. At this time, Wu Xin interrupted Mo Ran and said, "Brother Mo, we are here."

Mo Ran looked up and saw that the two had arrived at the door of Renhou Antique Store. He turned to look at Wu Xin, and Wu Xin said, "Brother Mo, go in by himself. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you. If you don't understand anything, Brother Mo should ask the hall master. Some words are not good to say from me."

Mo Ran nodded in understanding, and bowed to Wu Xin with a smile: "Okay, thank you Brother Wu."
