that's about it for usefulness," Xiangyao replied as he nodded. For him, those were the only things that mattered, so there was no point in worrying about anything else.The words of the carefree one s...Chapter 245 Lion Power 1
Therefore, no one would choose to go to the side where freedom reigns; they always冒險在這個麵，並且得到的利益也不錯，甚至不會弱於那邊，何必拿生命去冒險呢。
And with these martial artists appearing, naturally it would bring prosperity to this town, improving all aspects of life. Martial artists are generally rich and usually don't stint on themselves; eating big fish and meat, drinking good wine is quite normal.
A place where so many martial artists appear must have a branch of the martial artists' alliance, and this town definitely wouldn't be nameless but would show up on maps because the martial artists' alliance also provides them. Virtually no one dares to go places that are off-limits, these being explored by the martial artists' alliance.
Soon enough, Freedom knew where he was located, and this place was Baihe Town situated in a kingdom called Lion Kingdom while behind lay the Boundary Mountains which separated many nations. Inhabitants on either side of the mountain range wouldn't interact as it's difficult to cross due to danger; there might only be a few martial artists passing through.
Freedom also didn't know why he ended up in this mountain range as he shouldn't have entered Boundary Mountains, so he would've noticed on the map. It seems that the unnamed mountains where Freedom was previously located connected with these Boundary Mountains; some branches might not be known which is normal.
Arriving at Lion Kingdom didn't seem strange to Freedom since it was close to his calculated position and he had been heading in one direction all along, making it hard for him to deviate greatly given his abilities.
Lion Kingdom was a rather interesting place with lions as its totem. The king is called the Lion King, and citizens of Lion Kingdom supposedly have peculiar bloodlines referred to as lion heritage; everyone possesses varying degrees of lion power and extraordinary strength beyond ordinary people’s capabilities. Their martial arts and techniques mainly focus on strength.
The Lion Kingdom's king isn't controlled by a single family either, which is special about it. The Lion King is chosen among all citizens, and the rule is simple: whoever lifts the golden lion in Lion Square will become the king; this golden lion weighs over ten thousand catties and isn’t something an ordinary person can lift.
However, if a practitioner of lion power trains to perfection, they could indeed lift it. In terms of strength alone, techniques and inherent talents from Lion Kingdom make them the strongest across the continent.
Freedom wanted to study Lion Kingdom's lion power as well; while he had seen their techniques before, they weren’t outstanding. Training didn't seem to have a particular effect either, yet people in Lion Kingdom were different. Could this technique be specifically designed for honing bloodline abilities
This is quite normal as the Demon Magic Technique also cultivates bloodline strength. However, Demon Magic Technique requires a specific bloodline to practice while lion power can be trained by ordinary people but won't yield such results.
As a result of this, martial arts culture in Lion Kingdom flourishes; even if not for the king, training in lion power alone grants immense strength beneficial to their lives. Almost everyone knows something about it.
But right now, he just wanted to find somewhere to take a bath and sleep and eat some food!
The moment Freedom entered Baihe Town, he caught some people's attention, all looking at him. Most of them were martial artists.
"" Freedom was puzzled as to why everyone was staring at him.
“Young brother, what’s your name” someone suddenly asked.
“Damn it, you got there first!”
“Idiot, getting there first doesn’t matter. We know too; whoever completes the mission gets paid...” Although Freedom was puzzled, hearing this he understood that he seemed to be related to a mission. Someone must have posted on the martial artists' network asking for information about him. Since that’s the case, why not earn it himself
"Sorry, I’m busy and need to go!" Freedom politely excused himself, planning to get away from them.
“Wanting to leave Think again!” Immediately, everyone surrounded Freedom.
To this, Freedom had already thought of a solution; he showed something which caused everyone to step back, clearing the way for him with some grumbling...
"Damn it! This kid is also..."
"No chance now, we won’t be getting that money!"
“Argh, so annoying; posting a message on the network to find our own martial artists...” Freedom displayed his martial artist token, proving he too was a martial artist. Since it's him himself, this mission will surely be assigned to him, earning him a reward!
Sigh, shouldn’t have been in such a hurry just now; they saw through me!
Martial artists abide by their own rules and can't take over another martial artist’s mission progress. If caught, one would be expelled from the martial artists' alliance and face penalties.
Freedom is a martial artist so other martial artists couldn’t ask him about his knowledge of this mission anymore; it was now his personal business.
For this mission, if Xianyao were to object, the Jianghu People's Alliance wouldn't be able to take it up because the alliance has a responsibility towards its members and won’t let others get information about them unless it is public or agreed upon by the individual.
Xianyao soon found out where the Jianghu People's Alliance was distributed. He then spoke with a person in charge there, and as he had guessed, things were exactly how he imagined they would be.
Actually, Xianyao suspected that someone reaching out to him at this moment must have something to do with Qinglong Club. If it wasn’t them, the other party wouldn't approach him without knowing his name, unless those people from Qinglong Club doubted his identity and thus asked for detailed information about his name.
Xianyao felt that someone from the Qinglong Club must have found out who he was somewhere, thought he had the biggest suspicion, and then posted his avatar to find him.
Now, this result proved exactly what Xianyao was thinking. The person posting the request was indeed those people from Qinglong Club, wanting the Jianghu People's Alliance to look into Xianyao’s identity and provide information on where he is located.
The reason behind it they didn't explain since mentioning this would only make them look like fools; after finding out where Xianyao was, they would definitely send people over for a hunt.
"If you are from the Jianghu People's Alliance, then tell me what to do: take on the mission or refuse," asked the person in charge. He had already understood the situation and usually let someone like Xianyao decide under such circumstances; furthermore, Xianyao was a fourth-level member of the alliance.
The person in charge seemed to not have expected that Xianyao would be from the Jianghu People's Alliance and also have quite a high level.
"What exactly are they asking for" Xianyao asked.
“They want to know who you are, all your information; more detailed info will fetch higher payment. We’ll evaluate that ourselves; as for where you are located, it’s a thousand taels of silver!” the person in charge said.
"In that case, I'll tell them my info and if they think it's not enough, they can add more money to get what they want. This commission is mine, and they can have my current location too, for a price!" Xianyao casually replied.
“Are you sure about this” the person in charge asked cautiously. It was good that he could earn some money from this, but he had to ask carefully since the matter wasn't simple.
"Yeah, let's do it like this; there’s no point in not taking the money. My information and whereabouts are actually quite valuable! How interesting!" Xianyao said with a smile.
“Alright then, we'll report your situation to them!” the person in charge stated. "For this mission, would you like the reward now or left here”
"I’ll leave it here for now since I don’t have room to carry more," Xianyao replied.
The Jianghu People's Alliance offered their members a service where they could claim rewards at any time and place, even deposit them and earn interest. This was part of the benefits being a member brought.
Because of this system, the Jianghu People's Alliance also provided loans to its members to benefit them further. That’s why it always enjoyed such support from the people in jianghu.
"Alright, your reward will be placed under your account and you can claim it anytime with a token. Is there anything else I need to do for you If not, then I’ll go tend to other matters," the person in charge said politely.
“Nope, I don’t want any missions right now; where should I stay” Xianyao asked casually.
"Jianghu People’s Inn! Your cozy home…"
"Ugh!"
Xianyao knew the answer was going to be like this. It would naturally be the Jianghu People’s Inn since it belonged to them!
“Let's head over then. There are benefits too…” Xianyao said nonchalantly and walked out of there, heading towards Jianghu People’s Inn for a stay.
After all, the alliance was definitely the most cost-effective place, and generally speaking, their inn facilities were pretty good with friendly service, especially to members!
In addition, he was also from jianghu himself; naturally, he had to support his own organization's business!!
Soon enough, Xianyao arrived at the Jianghu People’s Inn here. The inn looked quite imposing—perhaps due to cheap land prices or a large number of people in jianghu living there.
In fact, there were indeed many members of the Jianghu People's Alliance living here for extended periods, leading the inn to grow larger and more impressive over time!t made them feel a bit strange was what Xianyao did after everyone had left—the activation of a mechanism to seal off the entire room.What is he trying to do Doing this would make it harder for him to...
