Chapter 71

" We're about to enter the Red Sun City. Once we get our reward, let's all go to the Drunken Immortal Tower for some fun, ha ha, what do you think?"

These few mercenaries had become quite familiar with Ye Feng over the past few days. Every night, in the cold and chilly wind, they would find Ye Feng to drink.

"Sure, if I have time, it wouldn't be bad to check out that Drunken Immortal Tower."

Ye Feng smiled, took a pot of wine from a tall mercenary, and drank a few big gulps.

These mercenaries, though they were all people who lived on the edge of death, had good hearts and were very热情 to their friends.

Ye Feng did not resist them; instead, he enjoyed listening to their stories about the Great Wasteland.

"Who's telling the story tonight?" Ye Feng took another sip of wine and asked with a smile.

"The legend of the man who entered the Great Wasteland Snowfield alone with a gun and challenged a giant dragon wasn't finished last night." A mercenary immediately became interested.

He took several big gulps of wine, his face turning red, and then said, "It is said that at the time, this legendary figure, clad in golden armor, ran into the depths of the snowfield in the Great Wasteland with a long spear, to challenge the ferocious dragon that once terrorized the entire Great Wasteland. Just see..."

At this point, the mercenary spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The other mercenaries, including Ye Feng, listened with great interest.

Because in this vast Great Wasteland, there were countless legends and stories that had been passed down through the ages.

"Is Master Ye Feng here?"

Suddenly, a martial artist from the Shen family walked up to the group.

Ye Feng was a bit puzzled and stood up, saying, "Yes, I'm Ye Feng. What's the matter?"

"You are Master Ye Feng!"

The martial artist from the Shen family was very respectful and said, "Master Ye Feng, our family head of the Shen family requests your presence."

"Family head of the Shen family?"

The surrounding mercenaries all showed signs of surprise.

The head of such a large and powerful merchant family was a person of great power and influence.

Why did he suddenly seek out Ye Feng tonight?

Ye Feng's heart stirred, as if he had some idea.

His expression remained unchanged, and he said to the Shen family member in front of him, "Lead the way."

...

Following the Shen family member, Ye Feng passed through layer after layer of the caravan, heading towards the core area.

Many members of the Shen family looked at him with surprise, unsure why this seemingly ordinary young man could enter the core area of their caravan.

After a short while, Ye Feng finally arrived at the center of the caravan.

There, many powerful core members of the Shen family were guarding a large bronze carriage.

The massive carriage was entirely made of bronze, with spiritual patterns engraved on it.

These patterns seemed to be defensive arrays that would release protective forces when attacked by powerful forces, protecting the bronze carriage.

This massive bronze carriage, which resembled a mobile palace, was incredibly heavy and was pulled by nine giant ink jade horned horses.

Ye Feng's eyes flickered; such a massive bronze carriage was probably worth a fortune.

The Shen family caravan was indeed incredibly wealthy.

"The family head is inside the bronze carriage. Master Ye Feng can go in directly."

The Shen family member who led the way stopped here.

Several dozen powerful Shen family members guarding the bronze carriage looked at Ye Feng with disdain.

They seemed to think that a young man like him couldn't be that powerful.

However, with the family head's instructions, these dozen or so Shen family members strictly followed orders and made way for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng didn't care about their opinions. He was willing to meet the family head of the Shen family to understand something.

That was whether his previous guess was correct.

The Shen family seemed to know before the caravan set out into the Cloud Sky Wilderness that they might encounter a major crisis.

"Step... step... step..."

He slowly climbed onto the bronze carriage and pulled back the curtain.

Immediately, Ye Feng saw two figures sitting inside the bronze carriage.

One was a middle-aged man in green robes with a stern expression.

The other was a beautiful young woman in a golden-patterned silk dress with a graceful figure.

Although the young woman had a beautiful face, it was pale and unhealthy.

The interior of the bronze carriage was spacious, more like a luxuriously decorated small palace than a carriage.

"You are Master Ye Feng, who slew the Dragon-Scaled Demon Ape with a single sword strike. Today, I see that you indeed have a noble and handsome appearance and an extraordinary aura!"

Seeing Ye Feng enter, the middle-aged man, who was the family head of the Shen family, Shen Juefeng, immediately stood up and greeted Ye Feng with a smile, without any airs of a high-ranking official.

Clearly, this family head, Shen Juefeng, also understood that slaying the Dragon-Scaled Demon Ape with a single sword strike indicated great strength, far surpassing many in the Shen family.

Seeing Shen Juefeng bow to him, Ye Feng also smiled and returned the gesture.

"Family head Shen, you are too kind. I wonder why you have called me here today?"

Shen Juefeng immediately stepped forward, pulling Ye Feng closer, and said, "Master Ye Feng, you have extraordinary skills and a powerful sword. I will be honest with you; our entire Shen family caravan may face a major crisis tonight."

At this point, Shen Juefeng's eyes showed fatigue as he pleaded, "I want to ask Master Ye Feng to personally protect my daughter. If we really encounter an insurmountable crisis, please take my daughter away immediately. I am willing to offer Master Ye Feng a generous reward."

Before Ye Feng could say anything, Shen Juefeng carefully took a pill emitting a faint golden light from his storage ring.

He handed the pill to Ye Feng and said solemnly, "This pill is a Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill that I bought at a huge cost from an auction in Ancient Yuan City."

"Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill?"

Ye Feng's eyes widened. He had read about this pill in the Ye family's alchemy books.

It was a very rare and precious spirit pill, reaching the Earth grade, just below the legendary Heaven grade.

The Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill had a significant effect on martial artists below the Sealed Title Realm, capable of refining the body, strengthening the bones, and enhancing one's aura, making it extremely valuable.

Ye Feng asked, "What if we don't encounter any major crisis tonight?"

Shen Juefeng smiled and said, "Then this Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill will still belong to Master Ye Feng."

"Alright, I agree."

Ye Feng held the Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill in his hand, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

He didn't expect to receive a Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill by joining the Shen family caravan.

What a pleasant surprise!
