41. First Bribe

When Meixiang and the others arrived at the area where mercenary qualification takes place, the whole ground is bustling of different activities of the mercenary groups.

The Mercenay Organization officiates this event day after the mass aptitude test to exhibit their ability especially to the young talents. This is to lure the newly tested cultivators and to invite the powerful cultivators to be part of their powerhouse.

Mercenary groups have their own booths around the area. This event is in a span of a week. The aspiring qualified mercenary groups are to sign up on the first day of the event. The exciting part of the celebration started on the second day where as the participants are to test their abilities to become a qualified mercenaries. Within the last three days of the event, the mercenary groups can challenge higher class mercenary groups to improve the grade of their group.

Today is the first day of the event so Meixiang and the others are now to register their team to participate in the mercenary qualification test.

Because it's still early, the line for signing up for the event is still busy so Meixiang's team decided to stroll around the booths first.

These booths are owned by the mercenary groups, this is also an opportunity for them to exhibit the strength of their group and to cajole talents to become a member of their mercenary group. Each booth have their own activities and small events not only to entice talents but also to earn money.

While Meixiang's team are wandering around, the people's focus are with them as Dan Fai who is now a sensation to the whole Central since he was tested as a double constitution that can practice both martial arts and fire element magic adding he's also with the Zenioh Constitution. This purple eyed wiltt was bought by a gold member of Vian Din Pavillion who is also a sensation to the whole Central.

After looking at Dan Fai, they can't help but look at the little girl on his side. It's the well known 'bored little tycoon' in the stories who bought the wiltt with five million tael worth of beast cores! Not only that, she adopted the purple eyed wiltt even before the wiltt's aptitude test as her little brother!! Not only that, the bored little tycoon is too rich that her shadow guards is a dark magician!!! A powerful rare dark magician as her shadow guard!!!

They can only sigh and envy Dan Fai from afar. When will the little tycoon be bored again and decide to adopt a black haired cultivator this time.

Tian Ling saw a signage to one of the booth with Heavenly Doctor Event. When they saw the rules of the game, Tian Ling look at Meixiang with shining eyes.

"Little Xiang, do you like any of the prices? Your Big Brother Ling will win it for you!"

Meixiang look at the three items displayed.

"The purpled leaf zoin is not bad."

Tian Ling nodded happily and so the group proceed to the booth. Tian Ling paid a beast cores to participate.

"You're the one who will participate?"

Tian Ling nodded.

"You're a Healer? A third grade Healer? And only 16?!"

The spectators look at Tian Ling, their eyes are bulging. Sixteen and already a third tier healer? It's a one stage away to become a pharmacist! They know the talented junior of the Heavenly Doctor Association is already a pharmacist, fourth tier, and currently seventeen. This young man is a third stage Healer and only 16. That means he's in par with the treasured junior of the Heavenly Doctor Association right?

Everyone look intently at Tian Ling who stood up in front of the first elixir.

The game is only simple. The participant only needs to tell the name of the elixirs. Because Tian Ling is only a Healer, the elixirs he'll inspect is only for healer level.

"It's a Class C first tier Goon Zin Elixir."

The onlookers then look at the organizer of the event. When he approve Tian Ling's answer, they can only gulp. The young healer only look and inspect it in a short time right? And he can even tell the quality of the elixir!

Tian Ling went from one pill to another and guess all the elixirs correctly. When it's time to choose the item, Tian Ling pick the purpled leaf zoin just like what Meixiang said. After the organizer gave the herbal plant to Tian Ling, he congratulated him again and didn't forget to advertise their Mercenary Group,

"Our Mercenary Group is named Blue Bird Mercenary, a class B mercenary. Our group is famous for missions for finding rare herbs and we are in need of talented heavenly doctors. The well known Alchemist Yan Mu is also part of our mercenary." the man then look at the lady on his side.

The lady in white robe gently smiled. "I am Alchemist Yan Mu of Blue Bird Mercenary. Not needing to see the young talent concoct elixirs, I can say your talent is top notch. Recognizing the name and the class of the elixir only by looking and smelling only in a short span of time, this alchemist is greatly impressed."

The supposedly fluttered Tian Ling is now in complicated position knowing his Little Master can hear these nonsense praises. Tian Ling can only scold them inwardly. What greatly impressed? What top notch? What young? My 11 years old Little Teacher can recognize the grade and name of an elixir from afar by only it's smell okay!

He still remember when he concocted his first successful elixir. Tian Ling excitedly inform their Little Xiang of the good news and invite her to see it herself. Can you guess what the perverted genius said? Their little Xiang said casually, 'Brother Ling is good. An E class elixir of Jinion Kin is a good start.' SHE DIDN'T EVEN STOOD UP AND ENTER THE ROOM WHERE HE CONCOCTED THE ELIXIR TO SEE IT HERSELF!!!

Meixiang's subordinates can only sigh inwardly. This people of Central is too ignorant and haven't seen the world.

"If you still have not yet part of any organization, this alchemist is inviting you to be part of our mercenary group. This alchemist is also in need of an apprentice."

"Cough. I am already part of a group and also already cough have a master. An amazing beautiful talented master." And she's five steps away from us okay. Tian Ling after rejecting their offer, walks toward Meixiang.

"Little Xiang, Big brother Ling took a long time. This is my first bribe to Little Xiang."

Meixiang simply nodded and let Tian Ling carry the herb first. She can't place it inside the sacred book as it's a basic knowledge for everyone that living things can't be placed inside the interspatial rings.

The onlookers are paying attention the whole time. Did the little tycoon also adopt this talent? Did the little tycoon provides the resources and also bought a master for the young third stage healer to achieve this level of talent? We're envious. We're very envious!

Meixiang's team didn't stay long and wander around.

The other onlookers simply followed their team.

Bai Zihan also wanted to give his first bribe to Meixiang so when he saw an archery booth, he also ask Meixiang if the price bow and arrow is to her liking.

"The item used for the head of the arrows is a rare ore, it is good to Little Fai to adapt it in the future and the rest can be Meixiang's accessories."

"Then your Older Brother Zihan will get it for Little Xiang and Little Fai."

Bai Zihan then participated to the archery contest and easily defeated the other contestants. Just like at the first booth, they ask Meixiang's subordinate to participate on their mercenary group and the same answer of Tian Ling, Bai Zihan rejected it without a second thought.

When Meixiang put the high grade weapon on her interspatial ring, the onlookers can only feel complicated once they remember what is the little tycoon planning to do with the spiritual weapon. An accessory! She'll dismantle the spiritual weapon to turn the head of the arrow to become her accessory!

Meixiang's team once again wander around the booths. During these walks, Meixiang's subordinates tried their best to 'show off' and 'bribe' their Little Xiang.

Xian Ji easily tamed a fifth tier warlock using a simple beast taming technique.

Ping Chunhua and Tian Feng easily won a pair battle against two members of Buliant Mercenary.

Uncle Tian easily won the price for the weight lifting contest.

All of them are invited to these mercenaries. All of them rejected these offers.

The followers of Meixiang increased from one booth to another and witness the talents of her 'adopted' brothers....and uncle? Can you adopt an uncle? THE LITTLE TYCOON IS TOO BORED AND ADOPTED AN UNCLE!!!

Their followers are now in a noticeable number.

When their team encounter a booth with a contest for refiners, their followers gulp and didn't make a noise even lower their breath to hear if ever one of the little tycoon's subordinate includes a refiner.

Tian Ling excitedly said, "Brother Lei."

Brother Lei look at the booth and to Meixiang.

"A pity the booth for the registration for the tomorrow's event is now soon to close."

When they heard Meixiang, they almost forgot they are here to register for the mercenary qualification test.

Meixiang's team left the area leaving their followers at loss processing the little tycoon's words.

Register? Register! They are here to participate in the Mercenary Qualification Test!

Words spread.

The next day, the Mercenary Organization's event is in unusual number of audience.
