Joined the hunting team at 5:4
However, the loose cultivator did not continue to shout prices, presumably because he was short of funds. He had just made a desperate bid to suppress the two sect disciples at once, but failed.
Now only Tai Xing Men and Da Feng Men disciples were left in the fierce bidding, neither of them willing to give in. The price of this Hua Sheng Dan quickly rose to 120,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
"Master, this Huasheng Dan may not be useful to you now, but when you reach the peak of the Condensing Spirit stage, it will eventually come in handy. Do you want to take action and compete for it?" asked the guard in the VIP hall.
"This elixir of rebirth may be a lower grade one, but it's extremely rare. Since I've encountered it, I naturally can't let it go."
"One and a half million mid-grade spirit stones!" The young man immediately shouted out an astronomical price.
When they heard this price, the disciples of Tai Xing Men and Da Feng Men were all shocked in their hearts. The highest prices they had set for themselves were not as high as this price, and it was clear that the person who made the offer was extremely powerful and wealthy, far surpassing themselves. Their spirits were dampened, and they all lost the desire to compete.
After the auction ended, Liu Bo was led to a separate reception room where he received the auctioned spirit stones and all the items he had bid on.
The old man in charge of reception was still the same, and he was now even more enthusiastic towards Liu Bo. He directly handed him two storage bags and said: "Honorable guest, after deducting our commission and the total value of the auctioned items, you are left with 23,236,600 lower-grade spirit stones. These spirit stones and the items you bid on are in these two lower-grade storage bags. These two lower-grade storage bags are a gift from our company, and we will not charge extra for them. Please check them carefully."
Liu Bo took over the storage bag, quickly checked it with his divine sense, and said: "There is no discrepancy at all. I am very satisfied with this auction, hoping to have another opportunity to cooperate next time, and bid farewell for now."
"This bank attaches great importance to the confidentiality of information for each customer. If you have any items to auction in the future, our bank hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate again." The old man said sincerely.
Liu Bo walked out of the auction house in the afternoon.
He sought out a secluded place with no one around, and restored his original appearance. He soon arrived at the Monster Beast Valley Hunting Association.
The Hunter's Guild is crowded with people, some of whom have come to register, others who have returned from hunting to hand in quest items, and many hunting parties are openly recruiting members they lack.
Liu Bo registered his identity information at the registration office and then began to carefully observe those hunting teams that were recruiting team members.
These hunting teams have a huge difference in the number of people and overall strength. Some hunting teams have many members, with all team members adding up to over 100 people; while some small-scale hunting teams only have a few or dozens of people. The strengths of each hunting team also vary greatly, with some having more than a dozen condensed spirit stage experts, making them extremely powerful; while others don't even have one condensed spirit stage expert and can only hunt and practice in the outer areas of the Monster Beast Valley.
Liu Bo, after careful consideration, chose a hunting team called "Baofeng" to join. The Baofeng team currently has only eight people, six of whom are in the Qi Refining stage, and only the captain and vice-captain of the team are two Condensing Spirit stage experts, which meets Liu Bo's requirements.
"I want to join your team, I don't know if it's possible?" Liu Bo said to a middle-aged man who was explaining non-stop.
"I'm Jiang Luge, deputy captain of the Stormtroop. Our team's recruitment conditions are quite strict, what realm are you?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I am at the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm, I don't know if it meets your requirements?" Liu Bo said calmly.
"It's actually the 9th level of Qi cultivation! I didn't expect a young brother like you to have such a high level, welcome to join the Storm Squad." The middle-aged man was extremely surprised.
"It's also an honor for me to join Storm Squad." Liu Bo humbly responded.
"I'm going to recruit one more team member, and after that's settled, we'll head back to the base together, and I'll introduce you to the other team members." Jiang Lugang said with a smile.
It wasn't long before Jiang Lugang recruited a member of the Qi Gong Eight Layers team, Lin Hongda, who was around thirty years old. Jiang Lugang happily took the two back to their base.
The Stormtrooper's residence is a two-story single-family courtyard, the area is not very large, but the environment is quiet and elegant, and there is also a wide martial arts training ground.
"Captain, these two are the new recruits I got today, Liu Bo and Lin Hongda. Liu Bo is at the 9th level of Qi training, and Lin Hongda is at the 8th level." Jiang Lugang said to a sturdy middle-aged man in the courtyard.
"Welcome, both of you, to Storm Team. I am Captain Han Guangyuan." Han Guangyuan said with a faint smile on his face.
When he saw the deputy captain bring in two new recruits, other team members in the yard also gathered around. Under Jiang Lu's introduction, Liu Bo and the two of them greeted each other one by one.
The Storm Team now has a total of ten members, except for the captain and vice-captain who are two condensed spirit stage experts, the other eight are all in the Qi Refining Realm, namely: Qi Refining 9th layer realm's Yin Shuhan, Wei Qiang, Di Wenghan, Shi Mengda, Liu Bo, Qi Refining 8th layer realm's Fang Handou, Zhang Changkun, Lin Hongda. Except for Yin Shuhan who is a woman, the rest are all men.
After joining Stormtroopers, Liu Bo moved out of his original residence and settled in the Stormtrooper's base.
On the first night of their stay, Liu Bo took out the dan medicine and refining materials he had bought at the auction, one by one, and began to refine them slowly. After several days of rest, the members of the Storm Team all recovered to their best state, and began to plan another round of hunting.
Apart from Liu Bo and Lin Hongda, the members of Storm Team were all seasoned hunters who had prepared everything they needed for hunting.
"Liu Bo, you and Hongda are both participating in the hunt for the first time, and neither of you have any experience. You must listen to my instructions and act accordingly. Don't be eager to show off just yet. What's most important for you now is to understand your teammates' characteristics and do a good job coordinating with them. Only by working together seamlessly can we bring out the strengths of all team members and achieve the best results." Captain Han Guangyuan was not at ease with the two new recruits, and he repeatedly reminded them in detail.
"Don't worry, Captain. We two will definitely not act privately and guarantee everything to follow your command." Liu Bo and Lin Hongda hurriedly made the guarantee.
"This time we've added two new team members, so let's not go directly to the depths of Yao Beast Valley to hunt and kill Nascent Soul stage Yao Beasts. Let's first hunt and kill some Qi Refining stage peak Yao Beasts in the outer areas of Yao Beast Valley, and when Liu Bo and Hong Da can coordinate with us seamlessly, we'll then go to the depths of Yao Beast Valley to hunt and kill Nascent Soul stage Yao Beasts." Han Guangyuan arranged.
"The number of demons in the Qi-refining stage is much more than that in the Condensing-stage, we haven't hunted Qi-refining stage demons for a long time, with our current strength, hunting Qi-refining stage demons is too easy, as long as we increase the number of hunts, the final harvest may not be less." Jiang Lu also agreed.
Since both captains agreed, the other team members naturally did not object, and so a line of ten people came all the way to the boundary between the outer and inner parts of the You Shou Valley, where they finally stopped.
