Chapter 56: Qingtian Monster Hunting Station
The start date of Mingzhu Academy is set on September 1st, and there are still two full months left before the start of school.

In the next two months, Xu Mu plans to find something to do.

Like becoming a hunter?

After passing Jing'an Temple, Xu Mu walked along the bustling avenue with lush trees and blooming flowers on both sides. He walked into an old street full of the style of the Republic of China.

At the end of this old street full of Republican style, a signboard sways gently in the breeze, making a creaking sound.

Qingtian Hunting House!

The impression given by this shop is that of a teahouse that combines traditional Chinese and British styles, exuding an antique yet elegant atmosphere.

"Do you want to commission?"

"The starting price for the commission is 300,000, and the price will be increased depending on the difficulty of the commission. We will not accept commissions below 300,000." A cute little girl with long ponytails came out and explained in detail in a childish voice.

The little Lolita's voice is like the melodious wind chimes in the summer night, clear and pleasant, with a hint of purity untainted by dust.

"I'm here to apply for the position of demon hunter." Xu Mu waved his hand and explained why he came here.

"Apply for the job of demon hunter here?"

Lingling looked at Xu Mu suspiciously, and said decisively: "Look at your ordinary clothes, you are obviously an ordinary magician, and you are so young, you look like a student. We don't accept novice magicians here, you should go home."

"You guessed the background pretty accurately." Xu Mu touched his nose and continued, "But I'm not a novice mage."

"We don't accept anyone who is not a novice. We don't recruit beginner mages here." Lingling continued to refuse.

In the Magic City, the Qingtian Monster Hunting House is a well-known and time-honored private hunting house. They don't even bother to take on small commissions. If they are to take a commission, it has to be a big one.

A big commission is no joke, it requires real skills.

The strength of a beginner mage is still a little lacking. Even if he is not a newbie, he must at least be a mid-level mage to be qualified.

"I am a mid-level lightning mage."

Xu Mu showed his cultivation somewhat helplessly. Forty-nine stars poured out of his body and slowly condensed into a gorgeous star map under his feet. However, he did not continue to conduct the magic power. Instead, he took it back after the star map was formed.

"Can mid-level mages apply for the position of demon hunter?" Xu Mu asked.

Lingling raised her little face, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Xu Mu curiously. Before she could say anything, an old man's voice came from behind Xu Mu.

"A mid-level mage, this aptitude is barely enough to handle this job."

An old man walked slowly towards Xu Mu from behind. Although his steps were a little unsteady, he still revealed a calmness and composure.

"Grandpa, should we recruit him?" Lingling turned to the old man and asked doubtfully.

"Well, young man, come in and let's talk in detail." Old Man Bao nodded slightly, then pushed open the door and motioned Xu Mu to come in with him.

Xu Mu followed Old Man Bao's steps and entered the store, while Lingling followed closely behind.

"I have to warn you in advance that the commissions we undertake here are extremely difficult. If you are not careful, you may lose your life, even if you are a mid-level magician."

"The profession of demon hunter is too dangerous and not suitable for fledgling mages like you."

"Personally, I still hope that you can go back to school, practice magic well, and enjoy life, instead of being deceived by those marketing videos on the Internet that say the life of monster hunting is so wonderful." Old Man Bao advised earnestly.

"Do you still want to join our hunting lodge now?"

"Trigger option!"

"After becoming a freshman at the Pearl Academy, you came to the Qingtian Monster Hunting Center. Facing the persuasion of Old Man Bao, you decided..."

"Option 1: Go my own way and join the hunting lodge as usual"

"Option 2: Be obedient and go back to school to enjoy life." "Add." Seeing the two options in the system, Xu Mu decisively chose one.

"You choose one, and get the magic weapon: Soul Vessel (Special Edition)"

"Magic Weapon: Vessel of the Dead Souls"

"Grade: Soul Level"

"Effect: Can absorb residual souls and fuse them into a spirit at a ratio of 300/1"

"A low-profile version of the little loach?" Xu Mu was quite surprised. He had never expected that the system would grant him a soul vessel that could fuse the residual soul into essence.

He had originally planned to travel around the country after breaking through to a higher level, to look for a totem vessel like the one Little Loach had that could fuse the residual soul into spirit.

It seems that it is no longer needed now.

"Our Qingtian Hunting Institute's commissions are usually carried out by one or two-person teams. Since you have chosen to join, let me introduce you to your companions."

"This is my granddaughter Lingling. She will also be your reliable companion in the future." Old Man Bao pointed at Lingling and introduced her to Xu Mu.

"Lingling's previous partner unfortunately died while investigating a case for the Inquisition. Now that you're here, it's a good opportunity for the two of you to get together. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem." Xu Mu shrugged and thought to himself: With such a cute and reliable little loli as a teammate, he really couldn't find any reason to object.

"Well... eighteen years old, your name is Xu Mu, and you are from Bo City?" Old Man Bao put down Xu Mu's resume in his hand and asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"The fact that you can cultivate to the intermediate level in Bo City shows that you have great talent. I hope that disaster will not have any impact on you." Old Man Bao said to Xu Mu with a smile.

"It's just some wind and frost." Xu Mu waved his hand and said indifferently.

After joining the Qingtian Hunting House, Old Man Bao said that there was an empty room in the attic of the hunting house for him to live in, so Xu Mu hurriedly bought some daily necessities and then moved into the Qingtian Monster Hunting House.

……

night!

"I wonder what resources the space department students at Mingzhu Academy have." Xu Mu was sitting in the store, thinking a little boredly.

The Space System consumes a lot of mental energy. If the mental energy is not enough, the Space System cannot even compare to the Light System, which is regarded as a useless system by many mages.

Although his mental power is quite strong, reaching the level of Mo Fan at the intermediate level, this alone is not enough. If he encounters a general-level monster, he will have to rely on lightning magic to save his life.

"Xu Mu, what is your second series of magic?" Lingling's clear and pleasant voice sounded softly beside Xu Mu's ears.

There were only two people in the store. Besides him, there was Lingling, a little girl who was sitting on the sofa and playing with the computer attentively.

Old Bao had something urgent to do, so he went out.

Xu Mu did not answer, but proved it with practical actions.

The star trail flashed by, and then an invisible giant hand suddenly appeared, gently pinching Lingling's childish little face.

Although he couldn't feel it, Xu Mu's intuition told him that it must feel good.

"Space system?" Lingling looked at Xu Mu in surprise.

The second awakening of the space system is very rare. Under normal circumstances, only high-level people can awaken the space system. If one awakens the space system at the initial or intermediate level, it means that this person has a certain talent in the space system.

"That's right." Xu Mu nodded, and then said a little disappointedly: "I have been practicing for a long time, but my mental strength has not improved."
