This was the first time Lu Ran had seen such a large gathering of Undead Mages.

Back in Black Fire City, he'd only seen a few here and there.

But here.

As far as the eye could see, all were Undead Mages!

In the hall, people were checking and selecting tasks.

Some gathered in small groups, discussing.

Even among the staff, almost all were Undead Mages, except for a few in lifestyle professions.

Cong Yu led Lu Ran to a window responsible for ranks.

There weren't many people here.

This window was responsible for registering new Undead Mages, and it could also upgrade their rank based on the contribution points they earned from tasks.

The higher the rank, the better the tasks and rewards available.

Cong Yu was indeed right.

This was truly a professional welfare institution.

Similar to some profit-oriented Mercenary Union or Adventurer's Guild.

There is a dedicated task board here, and the commissioners of tasks are not limited to Undead Mages.

The rewards themselves aren't very high.

But the Undead Mage Alliance Guild provides official reward supplements.

This combined, makes it much more lucrative than the usual Mercenary Union or Adventurer's Guild rewards.

Inside the window.

Some staff sat idly by.

Cong Yu pulled Lu Ran to the window and directly said, "This is my friend. He's an Undead Mage, came from afar, and needs to register here."

The staff immediately handed over forms for Lu Ran to fill out.

The information required was actually quite simple.

At that moment.

An Undead Mage, who was chatting inside the window, suddenly noticed Cong Yu.

He humorously started, "Cong Yu, you're here for tasks again, why? Old Cong isn't stingy, why are you lacking anything?"

Cong Yu looked up.

And gave a cheeky smile, greeting, "Uncle Wang, what a coincidence, hehe..."

But she did not explain what she was doing here.

Wang Mu understood well.

Cong Yu's talent and profession meant she couldn't be greatly utilized in the Cong Family.

Not that she was marginalized, in fact, Cong Yu and Cong Shuang, these two sisters, received top-tier treatment in the Cong Family.

The old guy, Cong Jixian, didn't show much difference in affection towards the two sisters.

It's just that he placed more expectations on the elder sister, Cong Shuang.

And the guy Cong Yu called Uncle Wang was named Wang Mu, a member of the Celestial Path Alliance, the number one Undead Mage in Longxia!

The Undead Mage Alliance Guild was founded mainly by Wang Mu.

"Indeed quite the coincidence," Wang Mu casually replied, looking at Lu Ran.

Very unfamiliar, never seen him before.

Wang Mu didn't give it much thought.

What's least lacking here are Undead Mages.

After this.

Once registration was completed, Cong Yu took Lu Ran and left.

"These two sisters from the Cong Family, their lives are worlds apart," another Undead Mage across from Wang Mu sighed.

"After all, an Undead Mage, even though that mysterious Undead Mage master elevated our status, it still cannot change the overall environment. As for Cong Shuang, being a Star Mage, her profession is exceedingly strong. The Cong Family hit the jackpot with her," Wang Mu nodded in agreement.

"This time at the Hundred Cities League, Cong Shuang is representing the Imperial Capital as a member of the Tianfu Society. It poses quite a challenge to other students," the other said.

"Challenge? I don't think so. Cong Shuang is definitely the champion. Whoever faces her only has one outcome, which is losing. Just hope they're lucky enough not to encounter Cong Shuang," Wang Mu shook his head.

"In this year's Hundred Cities League, other Main Cities have quite a number of hidden professions too. Wouldn't Cong Shuang feel the pressure?" The other seemed baffled as to why Wang Mu was so confident in Cong Shuang's abilities.

"You only know of Cong Shuang, haven't experienced interacting with her, but I've seen her abilities firsthand. She's too strong. That's absolutely not the level novices in the Hundred Cities League should have," Wang Mu insisted.

On the streets outside.

"Registration was pretty simple, but isn't this emblem a bit crude?" Lu Ran toyed with the button-like emblem in his hand.

"It's free, be content. Besides, this is a local institution, not generated by data, hence the emblem doesn't carry any data support, unlike Guild emblems or Profession emblems," Cong Yu casually replied.

Guild emblems and Profession emblems can be chosen to hide or display.

Not only more exquisite, but their positions are also unchangeable, belonging to the realm of data rules.

As for this emblem in hand.

It's crafted by the local guild itself.

No one manages you everywhere you go.

Besides.

Even if you level up, this thing doesn't automatically upgrade; you need to replace it with a new high-level emblem in the hall.

"And hey, it may look simple, but without someone guiding you, wouldn't registration be a hassle? Nowadays, information is crucial. You helped me out, isn't that fair?" Cong Yu grinned.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help, did you accept the task?" Lu Ran casually asked.

"I did, just follow me," Cong Yu grinned, sighing with relief.

After saying that.

She led Lu Ran out of the city.

"By the way, if your sister is that impressive, and judging from what that Undead Mage uncle suggested, your family's conditions aren't bad? Shouldn't you have some help?" Lu Ran asked out of curiosity.

Even Qin Wuyao, thanks to the Qin Family's connections, could smoothly sail.

Not to mention help, for leveling up, fighting monsters, and clearing dungeons, Qin Wuyao didn't even need to lift a finger.

"How can it be the same? My sister and I are different. Come on, let's go, stop with the idle talk, we have to fight monsters later," Cong Yu seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue.

"Alright, what's the task? You can at least tell me that?" Lu Ran didn't insist, just curious anyway.

"The commission wants something from a wilderness elite. After killing it and collecting the item, we can return and hand in the task. It's quite simple," Cong Yu said without turning back.

Once in the wild.

There were very few people, extremely few.

This was similar to other Main Cities.

The dungeon halls encompassed most people's leveling paths.

Except for some adventurers and those needing special materials, who venture outside, and a portion simply enjoying grinding in the wild.

Most Professionals prefer not to leave the city.

Looking around, just a few.

Some were beginners gathering around the Imperial Capital to grind wild monsters, others just came out to play.

Lu Ran and Cong Yu walked all the way, heading towards a mountain range in the southeast direction.

"That's the Purple Fragrance Mountain Range, our target elite is there," Cong Yu said.

While speaking, taking out two small pill-like things, handing one to Lu Ran.

"What's this?" Lu Ran inspected it.

"Demon-Exorcising Incense, just crush it," Cong Yu said.

While humorously pinching her nose with one hand.

In Lu Ran's view appeared the attribute description of the little pill.

Indeed it was Demon-Exorcising Incense, a buff-type pill that, once crushed, provides a dispersal effect for three hours.
