"Thank you for telling me." Lin Taichu accepted the wooden token and headed toward the western part of the city.
The Training Ground was located on the western side of Yunshui City. It covered a vast area, with dozens of enormous stone tablets erected around it, engraved with the Demon Slaying Army's military achievements and recruitment requirements.
A raised platform stood in the center of the Training Ground. Several armored commanders stood atop it, explaining the assessment rules to the Cultivators waiting in line.
While Lin Taichu queued, he heard the surrounding Cultivators discussing the matter animatedly.
"I heard the Demon Slaying Army has improved its benefits this time. As long as you pass the assessment, you'll receive one low-grade spirit stone as monthly pay right away, and you might even get a chance to enter the royal Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique."
"That's not all. My cousin serves in the Demon Slaying Army. He said that as long as you kill a demonic cultivator, you can exchange it for corresponding military merit. Military merit can be traded for Pills and Dharma Artifacts. It's much better than being a disciple in a sect."
"But I heard the border is extremely dangerous. Just last month, an entire squad was wiped out. They couldn't even bring the bodies back."
"Fortune is found amid danger! The Myriad Treasures Merchant Guild is causing trouble everywhere now. Only by relying on a powerful nation can we stay alive. The Tianshui Kingdom's royal family is immensely strong. Following the royal family is still better than being hunted by the Myriad Treasures Merchant Guild."
Listening to their discussion, Lin Taichu became even more determined to join the Demon Slaying Army.
He needed a safe environment to improve his cultivation, and he needed a powerful backer
