However, it was fate that Ye Feng and Nie Xiaolan were able to meet at the inn, and it could also be considered Nie Xiaolan's good fortune.

For Ye Feng, it was just a small favor; helping her was nothing out of the ordinary.

After finishing their private meal, Ye Feng finally returned to the inn in the city with Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.

"I have a feeling that someone is following us?" Sun Muqing frowned.

“There is indeed someone following us. It seems we’ve been targeted by that Wu Yueheng,” Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

Jiang Lingxuan said with a smile, "Wu Yueheng is probably worried that we will take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he sent someone to keep an eye on us."

Sun Muqing thought for a moment and asked, "Should we take those Medicine King Sect disciples who are keeping watch over us...?"

As Sun Muqing spoke, he raised his right hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Ye Feng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "There's no need for that. If they want to keep an eye on us, then let them. It won't affect us anyway."

Sun Muqing then said nothing more.

Night Wind raised his hand and cast a barrier, isolating the inside from the outside.

The Medicine King Sect disciples who were hiding in the shadows and keeping watch could no longer see into the room, but they did not panic.

As long as they can ensure that Ye Feng and the others are still in this inn and still on Linghuang Island, that's fine.

As long as Ye Feng and the others don't run away, there's no need to specifically notify Elder Wu Yueheng.

Days passed by.

Ye Feng taught the alchemy technique of True Fire Melting to the poor people of Huangyun Street, and even made eight alchemy furnaces for them.

The alchemy furnace crafted by Ye Feng was nothing more than an ordinary alchemy furnace, merely a third-grade spiritual artifact.

Moreover, the materials Ye Feng used to refine the alchemy furnace were all the most common materials he had obtained through adventures and explorations in various worlds.

Therefore, the creation of these alchemy furnaces had no impact on Ye Feng.

However, even though it was the most ordinary alchemy furnace, it was enough for the poor people of Huangyun Street to use.

After all, after several days of Ye Feng's teachings, out of thousands of poor people in Huangyun Street, only a little over twenty became martial artists, and Nie Xiaolan was one of them.

Even fewer people became alchemists; there were only three, and Nie Xiaolan was the best among those three.

Therefore, eight alchemy furnaces are more than enough, at least for the foreseeable future.

Similarly, Ye Feng also passed on the prescription for Tianqing Huoxue Dan to Nie Xiaolan.

In this way, Nie Xiaolan and the other poor people of Huangyun Street can pick Tianqing mushrooms to refine Tianqing Huoxue Pills, and their future and destiny will be completely changed from then on, and they will no longer have to live that kind of poor and lowly life.

"Alright, I have taught you what I needed to teach you. Now it is up to your own destiny."

"Starting tomorrow, we will no longer be coming. You all need to work hard and take care of yourselves."

Ye Feng looked at Nie Xiaolan and the thousands of poor people from Huangyun Street in front of him and said calmly.

Nie Xiaolan's eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry.

The poor people of Huangyun Street at the scene all showed expressions of reluctance.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your help. You have changed our destiny!"

"You are a benefactor to our entire Huangyun Street!"

We will never forget you!

The poor people of Huangyun Street all cried out, and a sorrowful atmosphere filled the air.

Li Fengyue smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you have gone to great lengths to teach these poor people martial arts and alchemy. Your actions will surely become a legendary tale!"

“Yes, I think so too,” Zhao Qingyun agreed.

Sun Chaozhen, who was always arrogant, said at this moment, "I have never been convinced by anyone in my life, not even my master. But now I really admire you, Mr. Ye. You are extraordinary!"

Hearing Sun Chaozhen's arrogant words, Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

"Thank you very much."

Qiu Miaozhen, standing to the side, covered her mouth and laughed: "Mr. Ye, registration starts tomorrow, and the first round of the competition is the day after tomorrow. Perhaps we'll run into each other at the martial arts tournament?"

"I'll go easy on you then," Ye Feng said.

Qiu Miaozhen chuckled incessantly, saying, "Mr. Ye, you seem quite confident. But perhaps I'll go easy on you then?"

The night wind smiled without saying a word.

The registration period for the martial arts competition has arrived.

Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing left the inn together and arrived at the central square of Linghuang City.

The central square of Linghuang Island was bustling with activity. Although the martial arts competition was not officially scheduled to begin until tomorrow, the arena and spectator seats were already being set up today.

Moreover, some impatient residents of Linghuang City also came here to watch the excitement.

So the square was packed with people, with even children running around and shouting, just like a festival.

"It's so lively!" Sun Muqing said with a big smile.

Jiang Lingxuan said, "It seems that the martial arts competition is no different from the New Year for the people of Linghuang Island."

A middle-aged woman standing nearby immediately said, "Of course! The martial arts competition is unique to Linghuang City; no other island has such a grand event! Just you wait, there will be even more people tomorrow; people from other islands will come to watch!"

Seeing the proud expression on the middle-aged woman's face, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing exchanged a smile.

"Alright, stop dawdling, let's go register now," Ye Feng said.

At the registration desk, dozens of martial artists were queuing up.

These martial artists varied in strength, but all were below the True Essence Realm, with the highest being only at the Separation and Union Realm.

It's understandable, really. A rogue cultivator who can reach the Separation and Union Realm is already considered quite powerful, not to mention someone who can reach the True Essence Realm.

A martial artist at the True Essence Realm is qualified to serve as an elder in sects such as the Medicine King Sect, the Wind Spirit Sect, and the Qinghe Sect. How could they possibly condescend to participate in the Martial Arts Competition?

These martial artists come to participate in the martial arts competition, aren't they hoping to make a good name for themselves in the competition, and then be noticed by various sects and recruited into their sects?

Perhaps for this reason, very few martial artists from various sects came to register for the competition.

However, Li Fengyue, Qiu Miaozhen, Zhao Qinghe, and Sun Chaozhen will likely sign up.

Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing didn't see them, so they didn't know if they had already registered or hadn't come yet and would come to register in the afternoon.

Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing stood quietly in the queue, waiting to get in line.

Not long after, it was the night wind's turn.

"Name?"

The person in charge of registration looked up at the night wind.

"Night Wind," Night Wind replied calmly.

"Age?" the man asked again.

"Twenty-two," Ye Feng said casually.

"Are you a martial artist from a sect?" the man then asked.

"Just a rogue cultivator."

"Where did you come from?"
