Chapter 474: Chapter 474: The Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage Four Months Later

Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building!

When Shi Feng heard the young man mention this name, he knew it must be a commercial power, an entity primarily engaged in business.

In the Tianheng Continent, there were many commercial forces, some of which were so massive that they had existed for tens of thousands of years and their influence was comparable to that of a Sacred Land!

It was truly a treasure trove that everyone coveted! However, if one wanted to delve into these treasure troves, they had to consider their own strength.

Wealth was also a formidable weapon. In the history of Tianheng Continent, there was once a Martial Emperor who offended a massive commercial power, and in the end, that commercial power issued a bounty using an Emperor Artifact for the Martial Emperor.

Ultimately, lured by the Emperor Artifact, countless powerful individuals were tempted, and the Martial Emperor was tragically killed by someone even stronger!

Looking at the young man in front of him, although he came from a commercial background, Shi Feng had already discerned that this person’s Martial Arts Realm was at the level of a Two-star Martial Venerable.

Seeing that the person had no malice towards him and had specially invited him, Shi Feng nodded to the youth, who called himself Shi Jinsuai, and said, "My name is Shi Feng!"

"Oh!" On hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shi Jinsuai’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I never expected that! Our ’Shi’ surname is rare; aside from my relatives, I’ve grown up without encountering anyone with the same surname. But to think, in this vast sea, I’ve met Brother Shi, truly it is fate.

Come, Little Brother Shi, we should definitely drink a few more cups together!"

Shi Jinsuai gestured towards a white jade small table in front of him as he spoke, which was set with dishes and fine wine. In front of Shi Feng, too, wine glasses, chopsticks, and a jade chair were already arranged.

Seeing this host’s hearty demeanor, which seemed genuine, Shi Feng walked over and sat down opposite the young man. "Come on, pour wine for Brother Shi!"

Upon seeing Shi Feng sit down, Shi Jinsuai quickly instructed a beautiful maid behind him.

"Yes!" The maid, hearing Shi Jinsuai’s command, quickly stepped forward, took up the wine pot, and poured a full cup for Shi Feng.

The cup was green, radiating a bright green light, and when the wine was poured into it, it turned a deep red, emitting a shimmering blood light.

"What is this!" Looking at the wine in the cup, Shi Feng was slightly startled.

"Hehe, Brother Shi, don’t be surprised. This wine is called Blood Mulberry Wine. Its main ingredient is made from the Eighth Grade Saint Level Spiritual Medicine, the Blood Mulberry Fruit. Unfortunately, I only have this one pot. This wine is beneficial for nourishing the blood and strength, and it has many health benefits. Little Brother Shi, you can rest assured and give it a try." Seeing the surprise on Shi Feng’s face, Shi Jinsuai explained with a smile.

Shi Feng’s surprise was actually not because of the color of the wine but rather the power of Blood and Qi emanating from it. After Shi Jinsuai’s explanation, he had not expected the wine to be made from Eighth Grade Saint-level herbal ingredients.

Looking at the young man in front of him, drinking wine made from Eighth Grade Saint Level Spiritual Medicine, his identity and this merchant building must be extraordinary!

Then, without any hesitation, Shi Feng grabbed the cup placed in front of him and drained the wine in one gulp.

Wine flowed down the throat, a fiery sensation coming from his stomach. Shi Feng secretly activated the Nine Nether Technique. As he absorbed the wine’s energy with his physical body, he noticed that the power of his physical body, which had reached the level of a Two-star Martial Emperor, was experiencing slow growth.

Although the growth of physical power was very slow, it was indeed increasing after absorbing the energy from the blood.

This wine, truly worthy of having been brewed from Eighth Grade Saint-level Scripture Spiritual Medicine.

"Excellent wine!" As he placed the cup on the white jade table, Shi Feng couldn’t help but remark to Bai Jinsui sitting opposite him.

"If it’s excellent wine, then Brother Shi should keep me company and drink a few more cups!" Shi Jinsui said to Shi Feng with a generous smile.

At this moment, Shi Feng couldn’t have hoped for anything better; he wouldn’t refuse a wine that enhanced his physical power.

The beautiful servant poured the wine, and soon the two men had downed two more cups. Then, Shi Jinsui spoke again, "I see Brother Shi heading this way, I presume you are also heading to the Tianlan Empire?"

"Yes, indeed, I am heading to the Tianlan Empire," Shi Feng nodded and responded.

"Hehe, I didn’t expect that although Brother Shi is young, you are also a kindred spirit like me!" Hearing Shi Feng’s response, Shi Jinsui showed a meaningful smile.

"Kindred spirit?" Shi Feng said, shaking his head somewhat confusedly after hearing Shi Jinsui’s words.

Seeing Shi Feng’s expression, Shi Jinsui let out a sound of surprise and then said, "Eh? Isn’t Brother Shi heading to the Tianlan Empire for the Emperor’s youngest and most beautiful daughter, Princess Linglong, and the selection of the Prince Consort?"

"No, I’m going to the Tianlan Empire for another matter," Shi Feng said.

"Oh! I see!" Shi Jinsui nodded after hearing Shi Feng’s words, then added, "However, since you’re going to the Tianlan Empire, Brother Shi, you might as well take a look. I heard that in four months, the Emperor of the Tianlan Empire is setting up a stage to invite strong fighters from all over to contest for his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Princess Linglong is said to be a beauty of stunning grace. This contest is likely to attract famed individuals, including disciples of Emperor Nine Nether and Emperor Xiaoyao, Mo Xiaoyao!"

Hearing Shi Jinsui’s words, Shi Feng’s lips twitched involuntarily; this Mo Xiaoyao in the hearts of the people of Tianheng Continent was almost synonymous with being hopelessly libidinous.

Many people, when mentioning a beautiful woman, would inadvertently think of Emperor Xiaoyao, Mo Xiaoyao. If this fellow really dared to attend such a contest and embarrass himself, and if Shi Feng happened to encounter him in the Tianlan Empire, he’d definitely break his legs.

Continuing, Shi Jinsui said, with a spirited look upon mentioning the contest, "Since I’ll be in the Tianlan Empire, I must also go to watch and see Princess Linglong’s beauty.

It’s just a pity, with this event gathering strong fighters, not to mention peerless Martial Emperors, even Martial Saints are likely to appear. With our level in Martial Arts Realm, it seems we can only watch, unable to take a beauty home." Toward the end, a wistful expression crossed Shi Jinsui’s face.

As for winning a beauty or a princess, Shi Feng really wasn’t that interested. Right now, he pursued only strength, sought only power!

With power, he wouldn’t feel powerless in front of others; he could better protect those around him, and crush all his enemies!

Power, ah! Right now, Shi Feng truly desired power immensely!
