As the largest Mercenary Acropolis in the southern border region of Great Zhou Empire, Inaba Mountain was close to the neighboring Hou Blessing Empire.

Among the Five Great Empires of the Wu Ji Continent, Hou Blessing and Great Zhou Empire were both states focused on martial arts, and they both had a Martial King.

As a result, the two countries would often ignore each other, and although there were no wars or conflicts, all sorts of minor conflicts and border banditry occurred frequently.

In order to stabilize the border, Mercenary Acropolises were born. On the other hand, the mercenaries received various missions to exterminate bandits, and if there was conflict within the mercenaries, it was resolved in the arena!

In this way, the southern border became relatively stable, but at the same time caused an inevitable consequence, that was, neither Great Zhou nor Hou Blessing Empire, could manage the Mercenary Acropolis.

In front of the bloodthirsty and aggressive mercenaries, the officials and border troops could only turn a blind eye. Law and order in the Mercenary Acropolis was completely left in the hands of the mercenaries organized by the Mercenary Union branch.

When Yun Sheng bade farewell to Feng Kuo and took Xiao Hei with her to the market, she encountered many Hou Blessing Empire mercenaries and merchants along the way.

Whether or not they were from Hou Blessing Empire could be seen at a glance.

The people of Great Zhou Empire looked the same as the people from Z country of Yun Sheng's previous life, they all had yellow skin and black hair, and were relatively moderate in size.

Hou Blessing Empire was closer to North Caucasian looks, with brown hair and blue eyes, high noses and tall bodies, fair complexions and deep contours.

When Yun Sheng entered the market, she immediately put on her Illusionary Earrings to hide her appearance.

She still had the 10,000 gold coins she had won at the Wanlong Gambling House, and with the money she gathered from selling medicine, she was considered to be a bit wealthy.

As she passed by spell scroll shop, Yun Sheng walked in, intending to see if there were any spell scrolls useful to her.

Yun Sheng planned to return to Yujing City to raise her magician rank after helping Feng Kuo and the others raise their rank. She had learned a Fire Intermediate Spell and an Earth Intermediate Spell, if possible, she also wanted to learn the remaining Wind and Water Intermediate Spells as well.

The layout of the spell scroll shop was very similar to that of a normal bookstore, except that on the shelves were spell scrolls made from a variety of animal skins.

Seeing a customer come in, a magician greeted her, after looking at the magician badge on his chest, she saw that the other party was a Great Magician.

After hearing that Yun Sheng wanted to purchase Water and Wind Intermediate spell scrolls, the magician couldn't help looking at Yun Sheng a few times, despite her Illusionary Earrings, listening to the small person's voice and the magician badge her chest, he could deduct that this person was still a new magician and not that old.

"Distinguished guest, the price of an intermediate spell scroll is not cheap. The price of just the spell scroll of the Water Intermediate Spell Eye of Mist with a bewitching effect is as high as nine thousand gold coins," the spell scroll shop owner kindly reminded Yun Sheng.

He saw that although Yun Sheng was young, her attitude was calm, plus there was a small dog besides her.

He could see that the dog was no ordinary beast at a glance, but a battle pet.

Those who could afford to raise a battle pet must have some background.

Nine thousand gold coins!

This price really surprised Yun Sheng, who thought that she was already a little rich woman, but how would she have known that the price of a spell scroll was so expensive.

Yun Sheng did not know that drawing an intermediate spell scroll was very complicated.

It needed to be made from the skins of demon beasts of mid-rank or higher, with special beast blood, using a special writing method. It was naturally expensive.

"Then one Water Intermediate spell scroll, preferable one with defensive effect," Yun Sheng had to settle for the second best. She had already been blessed by the wind elves and was only a little slower in agility.

Yun Sheng had heard her instructors occasionally mention in multi-elemental cultivation, balance was important. You can't only focus on one element, otherwise the overall strength of the magician would be affected and only at half power.

However, multi-elemental magicians possessed an inherent advantage, most would specialize in a certain element. Of Yun Sheng's five magic attributes, fire was the strongest, followed by the dark magic, then earth and wind, with water being the weakest.

But Yun Sheng didn't buy the Eye of Mist, which had the effect of confusing enemies, because she already had Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei's 'Swallowing the Sky', which directly swallowed everything in blackness, was much better than Eye of Mist.

"We also have Sky Blizzard, that's a large-scale intermediate attack spell," the spell scroll shop owner recommended enthusiastically.

Yun Sheng was still shaking her head, large-scale magic sounded impressive, but with her current magic power, she was afraid that after using it once her magic power would be directly used up.

There was no time for her to recover with meditation water mid-fight.

In the end, Yun Sheng chose the intermediate spell Water Binding.

This intermediate spell could transform water elements into a snake-like vapor and bind the enemy.

"The scroll of Intermediate Spell Water Binding costs 10,000 gold coins, if you buy it, I can give you a discount, just 9,500 gold coins," the magician made a deal, smiling brightly.

Yun Sheng's flesh ached, but she still took out her Infinity Card and paid.

While waiting for the boss to settle Yun Sheng's transaction, a boy came in.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, do you buy spell scrolls here?"

The boss raised his head to look at the boy. He didn't seem to be a magician, and looked like a villager from a nearby village.

"Finished, what attribute of spell scroll? Is it an elementary or intermediate spell scroll?" The boss inquired as usual.

But the boy touched his head and vaguely replied, "I'm not sure ah, you can see, what kind of scroll it is."

The boss halted after hearing that, "Let me make this clear first, I don't accept scrolls of unknown origins here."

The boss asked this because the boy was neither magician nor warrior. Where would he get a spell scroll from?

"Boss, don't worry, this scroll appeared when I cleaned my family's ancestral hall. My family was so poor that I couldn't take it out there, that's why I'm here, please take a look," the boy said and shoved the spell scroll into the boss' hands.

Yun Sheng retrieved her Infinity Card, but was in no hurry to leave. She also glanced at the boy's spell scroll.

It seemed to be a spell scroll of unknown origin.

However, as an experienced spell scroll merchant, the boss still checked the teenager's spell scroll.

After inspecting it, the boss shook his head, "This spell Scroll isn't worth much. It's just the most basic earth magic, earth spike. A hundred gold coins, do you want to sell?"
