Everlasting Chapter 119: Scarlet Yang City (1/2)

By relying on the Overwhelming Astral Sword's power, Chen Feng's group flew hundreds of li away and the cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes gave up on chasing them once again (1 li = 0.5 km).

“Brother Chen, we have killed a considerable number of cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes this time. I fear this will be quite a calamity for us,” said Ye Ziming in a concerned voice.

“So what if we killed them? If it were not for how low our strength is, given the many times they kept trying to kill us, we should have just killed them all,” replied Chen Feng with a sneer.

“Besides, in half a year's time, I will be joining Extreme Celestial Sect. With such a powerful backer, there is naturally no need to fear the Six Great Sky Grottoes,” Chen Feng continued.

“Ha ha ha! That is right! The Six Great Sky Grottoes can only be arrogant before ordinary humans. When they meet disciples from the immortal dao sects, they will definitely become as obedient as grandsons!” said Lu Ta with a loud laugh.

After flying for several hundred li, Chen Feng's group landed. Chen Feng kept the Overwhelming Astral Sword back. After all, three Concealed stage cultivators controlling a Prized artefact was too much of a conspicuous sight. Chen Feng had no desire to attract too much trouble.

“There is a small town up front. Let's go there and have a rest and inquire some information,” Ye Ziming suggested.

“Alright.” Chen Feng nodded his head.

The name of the little town was Scarlet Yang City. Size wise, it was far inferior compared to White Cloud City. However, its population size was high and there were plenty of cultivators within it. Even before entering the city, Chen Feng could already see a constant stream of cultivators flying in and out of the city. Some of the stronger cultivators managed to attract even Chen Feng's attention.

“There are so many Concealed stage cultivators here?” Chen Feng exclaimed.

“Maybe something is about to happen. Or maybe, this is due to the emergence of the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. All of these cultivators are probably incapable of stopping themselves from coming out. They are either going to test their luck or join the liveliness,” said Ye Ziming with a smile.

Only after entering Scarlet Yang City did the three of them realize that the number of people going about within the city was even higher than they had expected. Although cultivators at the Training Body and Energy stage made up the majority, there was still a considerable number of Concealed stage cultivators. Back in Black Origin City, Concealed stage cultivators can only be seen once in a blue moon. At present, however, Chen Feng could see at least 10 Concealed stage cultivators with every glance.

As Chen Feng's divine sense was sweeping around, an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man sensed someone probing about and released a soft cough. Immediately, Chen Feng felt his divine sense shudder as a result. He retracted his divine sense and searched through the crowd with gleaming eyes.

I encountered an expert earlier. That person has at least condensed out his Soulflame. How unexpected! To think that an expert of such calibre would appear in this little city. Chen Feng pondered silently.

Finally, the three of them found a relatively luxurious restaurant and entered. After seating themselves, Chen Feng asked casually, “Waiter, why is Scarlet Yang City so lively today?”

“He he! Fellow guests, it seems you have not been to Scarlet Yang City for quite some time. Recently, someone posted a high-paying task here in Scarlet Yang City. Thus, large numbers of cultivators would come here every day. They want to sign up for this task,” said the waiter with a smile.

“Task? What is the task?” Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta became puzzled. They did not understand.

Next, Chen Feng waved his hand and a fist-sized Magic crystal appeared in the waiter's hand.

“This is a Magic crystal! What a big piece of crystal!” The waiter's eyes bulged widely.

A piece of Magic crystal was the equivalent of 100 Basic Yang Pills. As the waiter had yet to cultivate up to the Concealed stage, he could absorb and refine the energy of the piece of Magic crystal for quite some time.

“Yes. Give us the full details of what happened and this crystal is yours,” said Chen Feng heartily. As there were at least over 10 million Magic crystals on his person, he could be considered a rich man in the cultivation world. Thus, he was generous in tipping.

“Thank you! Thank you!” The waiter immediately kept the Magic crystal.

“Some time ago, a mysterious woman came to our city and posted a task. She wants to recruit some Concealed stage cultivators to venture into a danger zone. I think it is to acquire something. Due to the generous rewards, many cultivators have been lured over.” The waiter quickly gave them a general description of the issue.

“So, that is what's going on. Do you know where this danger zone is? And, who is that mysterious woman?” asked Chen Feng after a moment's consideration.

“He he! I do not know that. Back then, the task was issued out by several of our Scarlet Yang City's trade a.s.sociations. As for the destination and ident.i.ty of the person who requested this, I do not know. All I know is that the person is a woman. Additionally, she is an alluring stunner.” The waiter lowered his voice.

“As for the reward, I hear that those selected will immediately be given 100,000 Basic Yang Pills. After the task is complete, there will other treasures as rewards. Tsk! Tsk! So rich! A pity, my cultivation base is insufficient. If not, I would definitely sign up as well,” said the waiter with s.h.i.+ning eyes.

“100,000 Basic Yang Pills!” Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta exchanged glances. There were looks of shock on their faces.

“The other party is truly generous. Right. Did they specify how many people are they recruiting?” Chen Feng asked again.

“I don't know. I can see that you three have high cultivation bases. If you are interested, you fellows may give it a try. You can sign up at any trade a.s.sociation within our city. Please continue with your chat. I will take my leave now.” After saying that, the waiter smiled and walked away.
