Arcanist World.
Xu Ning had passed through the world membrane with the help of the giant fruit shell and arrived at the Arcanist World.
The giant fruit shell fell from the sky to the ground. Luckily, Xu Ning was protected inside it, so he was not injured.
He pried open the giant fruit shell from the inside and walked out.
The moment he walked out, the giant fruit shell behind him quickly melted at a visible speed.
‘Is this the Arcanist World…’
Xu Ning felt an inexplicable sense of mystery in his heart when he sensed the environment of this new world.
From the memory crystal given by Duan Huiyao, Xu Ning had a relatively detailed understanding of the Arcanist World.
Whether it was the customs, language, or the division of superpowers, Xu Ning knew everything.
After all, although Duan Huiye did not comprehend the origin of this word, he had also reached the realm of a rank six arcanist.
In this world, a rank six arcanist was equivalent to a high level void realm master back in his original world.
From rank one to rank nine, they corresponded to the elementary, mid, and high level of the mortal realm, void realm, and the dao realm.
‘My purpose in coming to this world is to strive to be the strongest under the rules of the Arcanist World, to become a rank nine arcanist, and to completely comprehend the origin of the Arcanist World…’
Xu Ning was very clear about his goals here.
‘However, according to the information given by the Core Sea Demon Lord, to become an arcanist is a difficult task for ordinary people to do. It is unlike the martial arts in his original world, where as long as one is willing, almost everyone can practice martial arts…’
Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘If I want to become an arcanist, I have to join an arcanist institution, or obtain some scattered arcanist inheritances. It’s just that these so-called “arcanist inheritances” are extremely difficult to encounter. Moreover, even if I do encounter one, I may face some dangerous encounters when entering an arcanist’s inheritance. Although the destruction of my clones won’t hurt my foundation, it will take a lot of time to repair my true origin and materialize a clone for myself again.’
‘Forget it, I’m new here so I should focus on surviving first…’
Xu Ning had no pressure to survive in the Arcanist World.
Although the Arcanist World was also full of danger, ordinary mortals still occupied most of the land.
Although there was no way to easily open up a martial arts path in the Arcanist World, Xu Ning’s body was at the limit of a mortal’s physical strength. Coupled with the foundation of martial arts techniques, it was not difficult for an ordinary person like him to survive.
‘I landed in the wilderness…’
Xu Ning looked around.?‘Next, I have to find a way to get closer to the human population.’
Humans in the Arcanist World were almost the same as the humans in his original world. Although the language was different, it was not a problem. Xu Ning had already mastered it in advance.
Afterwards, Xu Ning walked alone through the wilderness.
Arcanist World.
Barren Wind Region.
In a city.
There were a total of eight regions in the Arcanist World, and the Barren Wind Region was one of them.
Every region was basically controlled by one or several top-notch arcanist institutions.
However, whether it was these top-notch arcanist institutions or ordinary middle-sized arcanist institutions, they were not directly involved in managing mortal affairs. They were more like those hidden hands behind the curtains that controlled everything.
Instead, the ones responsible for managing the mortal world were the various mortal organizations, and behind these mortal organizations, there were basically shadows of the arcanists and even arcanist institutions.
Inside a mortal armed escort agency.
“Big Brother, the goods this time are too precious. We have to find a top-notch expert to escort us.”
In a room, several men wearing the uniforms of the escort company were gathered together. The first one to speak was a skinny man.
“That’s right, the goods this time are to be transported to the Black Willow Institute. If anything happens to the goods, the master arcanists of the Black Willow Institute will put the blame on us, and our escort agency will be destroyed.”
Another person echoed.
After finishing what they wanted to say, they all turned and looked at the burly man in the center.
The burly man frowned when he heard this. His expression was serious. “You are right. The goods this time are not only expensive, but more importantly, they are what the master arcanists over there deeply need. We must be careful when transporting them…”
“It’s just that… It is difficult to recruit a top expert in the city. Most of them have their own forces, and they are not short of money either…”
The burly man was in a dilemma.
In the world of arcanists, the power of arcanists was unmatched by ordinary people.
And in order to survive in the competition between mortals, some mortal experts were born.
However, these mortal experts could not touch transcendent power, but they had learned many martial arts techniques, similar to warriors in the martial arts world who did not practice internal skills but only external skills.
“Big Brother.”
The man who spoke the most said, “I heard that recently, a top-notch swordsman has appeared in the city. This swordsman has taken on a few solo business deals and is extremely strong. He has been gaining popularity in the city recently. And luckily, he is unmoved by the recruitment of various large forces. Maybe we can ask him to escort the goods for this mission.”
“Oh?”
The burly man heard this and said, “In that case, go find him. You will handle this matter.”
The burly man pointed at the person who made the suggestion.
“Yes, Big Brother.”
The man stood up and cupped his fists.
…
Ever since Xu Ning walked out of the wilderness, he entered a city where people gathered and lived.
While adapting to the new world, he inquired about the opportunities to come into contact with arcanists.
Although in Duan Huiyao’s memory crystal, there were also paths for arcanists to advance, relying on these paths to grow meant one must touch upon the resources of the arcanists.
In this world, arcanists needed external help to advance.
However, because he was a mortal, if he wanted to survive, he had to rely on food.
In order to earn food and find a place to stay, Xu Ning displayed the persona of a swordsman to the public to earn some living expenses for himself.
Thump thump thump!
At this moment, Xu Ning heard a knock on his courtyard door.
Xu Ning walked over and opened the door.
A man in a green outfit stood outside with a long sword on his back. He was obviously a martial artist.
“Are you Swordsman Xu Ning?”
When the green-clothed man saw Xu Ning, he felt that Xu Ning had an extraordinary temperament.
“I am.”
Xu Ning invited him into the courtyard.
“I am Du Xiao from the Fierce Wind Escort. I came here to ask you to assist us in an escort mission.”
Du Xiao went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
“An escort mission?”
Xu Ning was expressionless.
“That’s right.”
Du Xiao said, “This trip should take around four months. We are willing to offer 500 taels of silver as your payment.”
“Where are we going?”
Xu Ning asked again.
Du Xiao hesitated. “This…”
Du Xiao paused for a moment before saying, “The goods will be escorted to the Black Willow Institute.”
“The Black Willow Institute? Is it an arcanist institution?”
Xu Ning’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard him.
“Yes it is.”
Du Xiao gave an affirmative answer.
“I’ll take up your offer.”
Xu Ning responded.
