Chapter 106: Nadutong Caravan

Tianhuang City, Fanlou.

Tonight, Fanlou is decorated with lights and is extremely lively because its owner, Shen Qiu, is holding a celebratory banquet for a distinguished guest.

This distinguished guest was none other than Lu Daocheng from Tianhuang City.

Just three days ago, Lu Daocheng successfully refined the sixth-grade elixir "Huitian Pill" and was promoted to a fifth-grade alchemist, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire Tianhuang City.

In order to celebrate his promotion to the sixth-rank alchemist, Lu Daocheng specially set up a banquet in Fanlou and invited friends from all walks of life in Tianhuang City, including some powerful figures who were rarely seen in normal times.

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of Fanlou, guests gathered, toasted each other, and the sound of laughter and joy could be heard everywhere.

"Master Lu, congratulations! In just six years, you have been promoted from a fourth-grade alchemist to a sixth-grade alchemist. You are truly a genius!"

"Yes, Master Lu, once your Heavenly Pill comes out this time, I'm afraid you will make a lot of money."

"Haha, Master Lu, please take good care of us old guys in the future!"

Everyone toasted and congratulated Lu Daocheng, their words full of envy and admiration.

Lu Daocheng was wearing a green robe, with a gaunt face and three long wisps of beard. Facing the congratulations from everyone, he just smiled calmly, bowed his hands and said in return: "You are too kind. I just made a breakthrough by luck, and I don't deserve such praise."

Although he spoke modestly, Lu Daocheng could not conceal the pride in his eyes.

At this moment, a burly middle-aged man in a golden robe, surrounded by a group of people, walked into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

It was the Lord of Tianhuang City, Su Yue!

As soon as Su Yue appeared, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, with awe in their eyes.

"I've met the Lord of the City!"

Su Yue nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the whole place, and finally landed on Lu Daocheng. He laughed and said, "Master Lu, congratulations. This city lord has long heard that you have an extraordinary talent for alchemy. After seeing you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord City Lord." Lu Daocheng bowed quickly.

"Haha, Master Lu, there's no need to be so polite."

Su Yue stepped forward, personally helped Lu Daocheng up, patted his shoulder, and said in a friendly tone: "You are the treasure of our Tianhuang City. You must refine more pills for us in the future!"

"Don't worry, City Lord. I will do my best!" Lu Daocheng vowed.

"Haha, great! With Master Lu's words, this city lord feels relieved!"

Su Yue laughed loudly, then turned to look at Shen Qiu who was standing in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you really took the trouble to organize this banquet today."

Shen Qiu quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Su, you are joking. Master Lu has been promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist. This is a great joyous event. I am just showing my hospitality as a host."

"Haha, Brother Shen, we are brothers, so there is no need to say these polite words."

Su Yue patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder, then turned to look at Su Qingying who was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Qingying, why don't you come and meet your brother Shen."

Su Qingying was wearing a light pink dress tonight, her long, shiny black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her delicate facial features were flawless as if they were carefully carved, especially her big watery eyes, which were clear, bright, lively and lovely, as if they could speak, making people couldn't help but feel pity for her.

At this moment, she heard her father's words, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed gracefully, and said crisply: "Brother Shen!"

Shen Qiu smiled slightly, revealing a smile that made Su Qingying's heart beat faster, and bowed and said, "Sister Qingying, you are polite."

The word "sister" made Su Qingying's cheeks slightly red, and her heart was beating like a deer.

Su Yue laughed loudly, put his arm around Shen Qiu's shoulders, and said to everyone: "Today, everyone can eat and drink as much as they want. All expenses will be charged to me, Su!"

"The city lord is generous!"

Everyone cheered and the atmosphere became lively again.

……

After a long time, the noisy banquet finally ended. The guests, slightly drunk, supported each other and staggered out of Fanlou.

Shen Qiu had a polite smile on his face as he sent these "breadwinners" away one by one.

After seeing off Su Yue and Su Qingying, Shen Qiu turned around and returned to the top floor of Fan Building.

He sat on a large mahogany chair, crossed his legs, and opened the system interface. "System, exchange one hundred martial artists for me, the kind that are ruthless and don't ask for reasons!" Shen Qiu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

"Ding, it will cost one hundred thousand taels of gold to exchange for one hundred martial artists with martial arts cultivation. Do you confirm the exchange?" The system's cold voice sounded.

"confirm!"

Shen Qiu said without thinking.

One hundred thousand taels of gold was no longer a problem for him.

A flash of light flashed across the system space, and a hundred warriors in tight clothes appeared out of thin air in front of Shen Qiu.

These one hundred warriors with the cultivation level of a martial master are all strong and powerful, with firm eyes and a cold murderous aura.

They were dressed in uniform black tights, with long swords on their waists, and knelt on one knee, like lifeless machines, waiting for Shen Qiu's instructions.

Shen Qiu looked at the powerful force in front of him, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart.

"From today on, you will be called 'Sky Wolf Guards'. You have only one duty, and that is to protect the safety of the Nadudu caravan." Shen Qiu ordered.

"understand!"

One hundred warriors responded in unison.

……

The next morning, outside Tianhuang City, a convoy was moving towards the northern border.

The three big characters "那都通" (Go Anywhere) were embroidered on the motorcade's flag, fluttering in the morning breeze.

This was the caravan that Shen Qiu had formed, preparing to go to the northern border to sell all kinds of modern food and things.

This time when he went to the Northern Frontier, he only brought Jiuxuannu, a hundred Tianlang Guards, and Shangguan Lie. The rest of the people stayed in Fanlou.

Qingluan, dressed in white, walked up to Shen Qiu in a heroic manner and said respectfully: "Master, everything is ready and we can set off at any time."

"Okay, let's go!"

At this moment, Shen Qiu was riding his Shadow Howling Moon Tiger, bouncing along at the front of the team, yawning out of boredom.

Nine women rode on tall horses, surrounded Shen Qiu, and vigilantly observed any movement around them.

One hundred Wolf Guards, each with a powerful aura and piercing eyes, protected the caravan tightly.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s some important person traveling.

The silver-winged eagle in the sky was also watching from the sky.

There was no conversation along the way. In a blink of an eye, the caravan had walked out of the influence of Tianhuang City and entered a deserted grassland.

As the sky gradually darkens, the afterglow of the setting sun covers the vast grassland with a layer of golden gauze.

In the distance, a few dead trees stand alone, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of time.

Shen Qiu lay bored on the broad back of the Shadow Howling Moon Tiger, pulling the tiger's fur from time to time.

The tiger's fur was smooth and comfortable to touch, but the bumpy road made him drowsy.

"Qingluan, how far is the northern border?" Shen Qiu suddenly turned around and asked.

Qingluan rode a tall horse with an upright posture. When she heard Shen Qiu's words, she tilted her head slightly and replied respectfully: "My lord, according to the map, we still have about two days of journey to reach the northern border."

"Two days?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu looked at the endless grassland and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shaking tremor coming from the front.

"Well, what's going on?"

Shen Qiu suddenly started awake. He turned over and sat up from the back of the Shadow Howling Moon Tiger, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
