Chapter 64 Navigator and Mercenary

"No. 38, Haitu Road, Binhai City, that's right."

Xu Mingxi took the information about the great soul master and compared it with the doorplate hanging outside. Oh no, it wasn't even a doorplate, it was just a number written on the wall.

The brick and stone house, with its badly faded and even dilapidated wooden door, made it hard for Xu Mingxi to believe that this was the home of a great soul master.

Although the Great Soul Master is only the lowest level among many soul masters, as long as one successfully awakens the martial soul and possesses the innate soul power to become a soul master, even if he only obtains a ten-year soul ring, he has already surpassed a large number of ordinary people. He shouldn't live like this.

Now that he was here, he might as well meet this great soul master named Miao Nong first. Xu Mingxi was a little hesitant, but still knocked gently on the shabby door. If he used a little more force, the door would probably fall down.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, the door was slowly opened from the inside with a creak, and an old man with dark skin, a hunched body, a head full of white hair, and a face full of small scars appeared in front of Xu Mingxi.

"Old man, I'm here to look for Miao Nong. He's here."

"That's me. May I ask who you are?"

Xu Mingxi didn't react for a moment. The intelligence clearly stated that Miao Nong was only in his forties, so how could he look so old? Yes, if he hadn't encountered any trouble, he wouldn't have risked his life to exchange for money.

"I saw in your intelligence that you are an old navigator, and you are willing to go to the open sea, right?"

After hearing this, Miao Nong's hunched body straightened up all of a sudden. A gleam of light flashed in his cloudy and dull eyes, and he quickly invited Xu Mingxi into the house.

As he walked in, Xu Mingxi subconsciously wanted to cover his nose with his hands. A strong herbal smell went straight into his nasal cavity.

Looking around, it is no exaggeration to describe the Miao farmer's home as bare and empty. Apart from a bed, there is only a pot of boiling herbs in the middle of the house.

When Xu Mingxi saw a teenager who looked to be in his teens lying on the bed and an old woman taking care of him, he roughly knew what this family had been through. No wonder the Miao farmer aged prematurely and no wonder he would exchange his life for the gold soul coins.

When the woman saw Xu Mingxi coming in, she even stood in the corner at the end of the bed a little stiffly. Miao Nong wanted to find a chair for Xu Mingxi to sit on, but was embarrassed to find that there was not even a chair in the house.

"You're welcome. I came here just to confirm whether you can sail to the high seas and what your sailing skills are."

Miao Nong suddenly seemed to be relieved, as he had finally arrived at an area he was familiar with. He described his experiences over the past few decades in vivid detail, hoping that the noble-looking man in front of him would agree to his request. This was his last hope.

Xu Mingxi listened to Miao Nong's experience in general. He didn't expect that he had worked on a pirate ship. Although his strength was not enough, his navigation skills should be okay.

The most important thing is that they simply can't find anyone willing to go to the open sea. Anyway, all he wants is a thousand gold soul coins, so let it be a loss.

"Okay, I agree to your terms. I can give you the money first, but I don't even know if I can come back alive on this trip. You have to be mentally prepared."

Miao Nong was overjoyed and sent Xu Mingxi out the door. It was good to have money, it was good to have money. His son's disease could finally be cured. As long as his son was fine, his life would be fine even if he died.

Xu Mingxi gave Miao Nong a bag of gold soul coins, told him to wait for notification, and returned to the hotel, waiting for news from the elders.

A reminder would be good enough. Xu Mingxi didn't care about the situation of Miao Nong's family, his son's illness, where the gold soul coins were used, and so on. As soon as he returned to the hotel, the three elders also came one after another. Seeing their smiling faces, it seems that they have gained a lot today.

"Mingxi, we didn't find the crew, but we found a group of mercenaries. They are willing to go to the open sea, and they are all sea soul masters with barely acceptable strength."

Xu Mingxi's eyes lit up. The mercenary group was great. Before he left today, he asked Miao Nong to mobilize his network of connections to help him find some people who had knowledge of navigation.

What they lack now is a strong soul master who can resist the sea soul beasts, and this team of mercenaries came at the right time.

"Elder, what are their strengths, and what do they require of us?"

"Their leader is a Soul Emperor, and their deputy leader is a Soul King. They are a married couple, and it was them who agreed to our request. As for how many members they can bring, it is not clear yet.

In addition to the gold soul coins, we gave away the soul bones we got from the Min clan."

"Well, then all we need is a good ship."

Xu Mingxi wished he could go to the auction right now. The soul bone of the Min clan was only eight thousand years old, so he would just give it away. As long as it could allow him to sail to the end safely, even a ten thousand year soul bone could be discarded.

The next day, Miao Nong brought him good news. There were also several navigators and sailors at the second or third ring level who were willing to go out to the high seas, and Xu Mingxi offered them a price of eight hundred gold soul coins.

What surprised him was that there was actually a person among them who could draw nautical charts. This time he didn't have to worry about knowing how to get there but not being able to find the way back.

Xu Mingxi watched the gold soul coins in the storage soul guide constantly decreasing and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, they brought a lot of gold soul coins from the sect this time, otherwise they might have to play the role of unknown robbers and rob the rich to help the poor.

On the other side of Hanhai City, in a house that could barely be considered luxurious, a fierce quarrel was breaking out.

The SEAL Mercenary Group, led by Song Jiang, is a level 69 offensive war soul emperor, with the martial soul of a sharp-toothed seal. The entire mercenary group is considered middle-class in Hanhai City.

The reason for their quarrel this time was that the entire mercenary group was about to fall apart. In order to break through to the Soul Saint level, the group leader was tempted to join a high-sea sailing team. That was the high seas.

"Brothers and sisters, I won't say much. If you want to leave, I will give you a sum of gold soul coins. Let's part ways in peace."

How could people who make a living in Hanhai City not know how dangerous the ocean is? The near sea is like a man-eating beast, not to mention the distant sea. They become mercenaries to make money, not to seek death.

Song Jiang watched coldly as the team members left one by one without trying to stop them. Staying alive is the truest wish in everyone's heart. Even him, if it weren't for that soul bone, he would never go to the open sea.

In the end, in the entire house, besides the leader and his wife and their adopted son, there were only two people left, a pair of brothers.

"Xu Jiang, Xu He, you two should think carefully. I can't guarantee your safety on this trip."

The two brothers looked at each other and nodded. Their lives were saved by the captain and his wife in the first place, so what would it matter if they returned them?
