"Baili Hongzhuang, I registered as a mercenary two years ago. You haven't registered yet?" Bai Junyu exclaimed in surprise.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. She had been ordered not to leave the General's Mansion before, so she never had a chance to go to the Mercenary Guild.
"Baili Hongzhuang, how about I accompany you to the Mercenary Guild to register as a mercenary?" Dongfang Yu asked.
"No need, I can go by myself," Baili Hongzhuang replied firmly.
Seeing her resolute tone, Dongfang Yu nodded. "You should register as a mercenary first. We will choose the tasks, and since you don't have any experience as a mercenary, we three will make the decision this time. What do you think?"
"No problem!" Baili Hongzhuang agreed.
"After we decide on the tasks, we'll inform you. You can take this time to purchase the necessary items for the missions. You'll need them then."
"I understand."
After leaving the back mountain, Baili Hongzhuang left Canglan Academy. There was a branch of the Mercenary Guild in Canglan City, and Dongfang Yu had already informed her of its specific location.
The Mercenary Guild was the largest guild in the Holy Xuan Continent, and mercenaries were a profession that constantly hovered on the edge of danger.
The fur, blood, and demon crystals of demonic beasts had various uses for humans. With demand came the creation of a profession to meet that demand.
Some cultivators made a living by hunting demonic beasts and exchanging their corpses for money.
The Mercenary Guild could issue various tasks, and those in need of certain demonic beasts would directly post bounty tasks there.
Mercenaries who accepted and completed the tasks would receive a reward, which often exceeded the value of simply selling the demonic beast's corpse.
Various shops, weapon stores, and alchemists had different demands for demonic beasts. Under such conditions, the Mercenary Guild quickly developed and grew.
Now, the Mercenary Guild had become the largest organization in the Holy Xuan Continent, larger than any sect or faction.
Because any cultivator could register as a mercenary and leave at any time without any constraints, all cultivators didn't mind registering as mercenaries. Even wealthy children needed experience.
For other mercenaries, accepting tasks was often a means of survival, but the students of Canglan Academy didn't receive monetary rewards for accepting tasks. Instead, they earned points.
This was an agreement between Canglan Academy and the Mercenary Guild. Students earned points to get opportunities to cultivate in the cultivation tower, and the monetary rewards were handed over to Canglan Academy by the Mercenary Guild to strengthen the academy.
Students didn't need to pay any fees to enter Canglan Academy, and this arrangement also helped alleviate the school's needs. It was a win-win situation.
The Mercenary Guild stood out in Canglan City, and when Baili Hongzhuang saw the building covered in glazed tiles, she knew it was the Mercenary Guild.
The top of the Mercenary Guild was in the shape of a triangle, and the glazed tiles reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, indicating the rank of the Mercenary Guild.
A mercenary's rank could be improved by completing a certain number of tasks and tasks of higher levels. The higher the mercenary's rank, the less commission the Mercenary Guild would take.
The ranks were divided into five levels: Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Red. Yellow was the lowest, and Red was the highest.
As Baili Hongzhuang walked into the Mercenary Guild, a bustling noise engulfed her ears.
