"We can only blame us for being late."

"Now we can't buy land in Xincheng, where are we going to settle down? We already have some grudges with the Lou family, and we just got into Xixing Pavilion..."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, we brothers can just die together!"

"That's right, even if we can settle in the new city, we can't sit there and eat the whole country and keep huddling in the city. We have to go out sooner or later, we have to meet the Lou family sooner or later, and we will get involved in other forces..."

Xiao Lingyu followed patiently and deliberately listened to the comments that the monks suppressed a lot.

After walking through a few streets, he quickly walked to the front of the team.

"Please stay here, I have a business to talk to you." Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.

"You go outside the city first to wait, and I will discuss business with this fellow Taoist first." The bearded monk in charge said to the brother behind him.

This team of monks is like a mercenary team. They will accept the tasks of some employers, but most of the time, they will take the initiative to hunt star beasts in the Tianxing Forest to maintain their practice.

Now that an employer comes to him, they naturally won’t refuse. At least they have to understand the difficulty of the task. If it is really suitable, they will be happy to take on a business.

"Haha, there is a pretty good restaurant in front of it. It's very spacious and the food and drinks are delicious. I saw that everyone was a little tired, so let's go and sit together. Of course, I'll treat you." Xiao Lingyu smiled politely.

"Thank you for your kindness, but how can you spend money on the first meeting? Let them wait outside the city first." The bearded monk refused.

As the saying goes, "I will not receive any kindness and the business is not negotiated yet. How can I ask my employer to invite so many monks to eat and drink?" Besides, the person has short hands and short mouths. If my brothers really go to eat and drink together, it may affect the price negotiation for a while.

Xiao Lingyu didn't think so much, and he didn't insist. He took the bearded man to find a restaurant, ordered a private room on the third floor, and ordered a lot of wine and dishes of great value.

Not long after, Mi Ling, who received the news, rushed over and sat next to Xiao Lingyu.

After the wine and food were served, Xiao Lingyu raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink three first."

But the bearded man didn't give him face. He said, "I won't drink before talking about business, please forgive me."

The bearded man looks rough but he is very cautious in doing things.

Drinking mistakes also apply to monks in the world of cultivation. After all, the wine that monks drink is not comparable to those in the world.

"Where is Xiao Lingyu, how dare you ask about the name of a fellow Taoist?"

Xiao Lingyu put down the wine glass, his expression was still very calm, and he did not feel dim on his face.

"Lu Jian."

The bearded man nodded and greeted him.

"I think Brother Lu is also a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."

After a moment of pause, Xiao Lingyu said seriously: "My Xiao family has just gained a foothold in Xincheng for a while and is interested in attracting some experts to join..."

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Xiao, we have no intention of guarding any family."

Before Xiao Lingyu could finish speaking, the bearded Lu Jian took over the conversation, looking very firm.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry. I am not asking you to come to my Xiao family to protect the house. I live in this new city. Of course, there are city guards who can help protect the house. I will not do this in one go."

Xiao Lingyu shook his head and smiled, and then said, "We want to cultivate a team that is tacitly in line with combat effectiveness. The main purpose is to go to the Tianxing Forest to hunt the star-pole realm."

Lu Jian frowned and pondered without saying a word.

Xiao Lingyu continued: "For this team, our Xiao family will do its best to train it. Not only will it provide generous salary, but it will also build a piece of land in the city to provide them with life and cultivation."

Hearing this, Lu Jian's eyes flashed clearly. He knew very well that it was necessary for them to gain a foothold in the new city first and continue to wander.

Brothers don’t have to think too much. Even if they offend major forces, they can have the attitude of dying at the worst. But as the boss of everyone, Lu Jian must think more. He has to worry about his brothers’ lives and future. He will never take everyone to death without having to force them.

"Any monk in this team can be valued by my Xiao family. The family does not lack Yang Jing, so this team does not need to go out to perform tasks all day long. They spend more time practicing. As long as they can break through, the family will devote their efforts to help them break through..."

"etc!"

Lu Jian suddenly waved his hand and asked, "It is very easy to recruit monks in the Nirvana realm with such generous treatment. Fellow Daoist Xiao has a lot of ambitions and must recruit many monks. My brothers have special temperaments and may not be sociable and cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Xiao Lingyu shook his head and smiled, saying, "Our Xiao family has no intention of becoming a big force like Xingge. We are recruiting brothers with blood and loyalty, not a group of mobs. We just want to build an elite team, a fearless elite team! We only recruit a hundred Nirvana cultivators at most."

Lu Jian asked again: "What obligations does this elite team as Fellow Daoist Xiao have to bear? Just go to the Tianxing Forest to hunt the Tianxing Beast at the Star Realm?"

Xiao Lingyu replied: "Apart from hunting the star beasts in the Star Pole Realm, there is indeed no more important task. Of course, if my Xiao family encounters danger, this elite team will naturally have to help."

Lu Jian was silent again.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Lingyu added: "My Xiao family can do everything to cultivate this elite team, but this elite team must have two characteristics: loyalty and courage!"

"This matter is very important, and I can't represent the whole group of brothers. Can Fellow Daoist Xiao allow me to go back and discuss with the brothers before giving a reply?" Lu Jian said then.

"Haha, no problem."

Xiao Lingyu smiled and raised his glass, saying, "How many drinks can Fellow Daoist Lu drink now?"

Thinking that they might get together in the future, Lu Jian did not refuse anymore and immediately raised his glass to drink with Xiao Lingyu.

After only a few drinks, Lu Jian said goodbye without even moving his chopsticks.

"Do you think they will come?" Xiao Lingyu asked Mi Ling with a wine glass.

"Only half possible," Mi Ling said.

"Oh? Are the conditions we gave are not good enough?" Xiao Lingyu asked.

"It's not that the conditions are not good enough, but because of their personality. They shouldn't like to live under someone else's roof, otherwise they would have been in the hands of other big families or major forces long ago." Mi Ling shook his head and said.

"I just followed them a few streets and found that they were still very disciplined. Even in this crowded new city, their formation has always been well maintained, and there have always been people on guard. In this team, even if everyone is of ordinary qualifications, they will definitely have strong combat power." Xiao Lingyu commented.

"Haha, from Lu Jian's words and deeds just now, it can be seen that the leader, the leader, is not a mediocre person. He should have a very stance and principle. He is a strict and steady monk, worthy of trust." Mi Ling praised with a smile.

"Continue to look for it. The new city has been quite lively recently. There are many monks coming and going, and there are also many people in groups. With our generous treatment, it is not difficult to find a team of 100 people to join." Xiao Lingyu said relaxedly.

After eating and drinking with Mi Ling, Xiao Lingyu squeezed into the crowded streets of Xincheng again.

Emperor God pays off and searches in the city for nearly a hundred years. Mi Ling finally found a team of fifty-six. After hearing what Xiao Lingyu said, his team leader pretended to think about it for two days, but he came to the Xiao family early on the third day and agreed to join the Xiao family with his brothers.
