Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 59 Two Pairs of Brothers and Sisters

"No problem." Luo Feng did a quick calculation and immediately put it into the pocket on his chest.

And that Great Void Fiery Grass Fruit, I closed the lid and took it all.

He glanced around briefly again; his focus was solely on the place selling medicinal herbs, and he wasn't particularly interested in the others.

After leaving Tianyan Trading Company, Luo Feng headed straight for the caravan heading to the nearest prefecture city, Yaoshi County.

Yaoshi County is a county seat directly connected to Daji Town, with a population of nearly ten million. The quality of its strong individuals is even higher. Perhaps one could find a way to obtain cultivation techniques there.

Caravans gathered in the northeast of the main market town, where a multi-story building with openwork had been set up. Many caravans were stationed there, and in the distance, mules were being fed.

This wasn't ferocious; rather, it had been tamed by the Qi Spirit.

Luo Feng walked to the spot where the vehicle dispatch list was posted.

"Safely arrived in Yaoshi County. The fee is three Qi Sands. That's it." Luo Feng glanced at them and saw that the fee offered by 'Mar' was the highest.

It's not that I'm greedy for the item itself, but rather that there are more skilled escorts available, so even if trouble arises, it will be easier to handle.

What seems more dangerous may actually be safer.

"Marse." Luo Feng's gaze swept over the caravan again, and he saw the name of the team flag on the carriage team.

Arriving in front of the convoy.

An elderly man dressed in light blue stepped forward: "You're here to protect my Mar's caravan, right? We need to do a simple test of your strength. Please unleash your full power with one punch."

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Feng channeled his inner energy and punched the air, shattering it.

"True Enlightenment Realm, not bad. You can become a member of my caravan." The old man nodded slightly. "I am the caravan manager for this trip. You can call me 'Luo Ming,' or just call me Elder Luo. This is your number; we won't remember your name. We'll address you by your number."

"This is a piece of Qi sand. Pay the rest when you reach your destination."

"Thank you, Elder Luo." Luo Feng nodded.

I received the Qi Sand, which also had a number: number four.

In other words, there are at least three experts at the Awakening Spirit Realm ahead of them.

"I didn't expect that such a large market town could gather so many Awakening Realm experts. With the four of us included, it seems this trip might not be easy."

Luo Feng muttered to himself.

He wasn't after that single grain of Qi sand; they were simply on the same path.

"Go rest over there, we're still one person short," Old Luo said, pointing to a spot.

Looking over, Luo Feng saw three figures sitting there with their eyes closed. They all looked quite old, probably at least forty or fifty years old.

Luo Feng walked over, and one or two of them opened their eyes.

"Number four, so young." The one who spoke was number two, and he already had that number pinned to his chest.

"Let's go out and practice." Luo Feng smiled simply.

Both of them withdrew their gazes, and Luo Feng also closed his eyes to rest.

After about an hour and forty minutes of waiting, the fifth Awakening Realm expert was finally summoned. The newcomer was an elderly man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties.

Luo Feng and the others simply nodded to each other in greeting.

The old man looked at Luo Feng, who was so young that he stood out.

Old Luo walked over: "Everyone, everyone's here. Get ready to set off with me."

Luo Feng and his four companions followed behind. Number Five asked in a low voice, "This Mar clan isn't part of our Great Market Town's forces. Do they know what they're escorting this time?"

Clearly, this number five is someone who frequently takes on missions.

"I don't know. The employer has the right not to disclose that information." Number One shook his head.

The five of them followed the door to a courtyard, knocked on the door, and then a young man and a young woman came out. Luo Feng glanced at them and saw that they looked three or four parts alike, so they should be a brother and sister.

The two young men looked only slightly older than Luo Feng, probably not even twenty-six years old.

Behind the two young men were two middle-aged men. Luo Feng sensed that they were not simple men, especially from the aura they exuded, which gave him the feeling that they were almost as strong as him.

"These two guys, to be able to cultivate to this level, they must have some connections."

"And then there's this brother and sister..."

Luo Feng had a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.

If the escort is for these twins, then this escort mission might have some issues, he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Let's go."

Before Luo Feng and the others could think about it, Elder Luo spoke up.

At this moment, three carriages also arrived.

"Number one, number two, you drive the first carriage; number three, number five, you two drive the third; number four, you drive the second."

Elder Luo glanced at Luo Feng and his group of four and gave the orders directly.

Subsequently, one of the middle-aged men led a young man and a young woman into the middle carriage, while Old Luo got into the first carriage, and the last middle-aged man got into the last carriage.

Luo Feng got into the second carriage. Unexpectedly, the young couple was in the same carriage as him.

The young man and woman remained silent, as did the two middle-aged men; he had no idea what they meant.

but.

The fact that it needs so many experts to protect it means that it must be something very important, perhaps even more important than a magical artifact.

"Let's go."

The first carriage carried Luo Lao's voice, and then the two horses, number one and number two, set off.

Luo Feng's carriage automatically followed.

Luo Feng remained calm. In any case, if something happened and he was no match for the enemy, he would simply choose to flee. If he arrived safely, of course there would be no problem.

……

From Daji Town to Yaoshi County, at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage, if one travels two-thirds of the day and rests for one-third, it would take about twenty days.

From the starting point of the market town, there were hardly any powerful bandits or anything like that. Those who tried to intercept them all retreated on their own after sensing the presence of Number One and Number Two.

The first ten days passed by peacefully.

After traveling halfway, the bandits gradually became stronger, and many of them were even villagers from nearby villages, making them quite powerful.

It took some effort to resolve those problems.

When the nineteenth day arrived and they were approaching Yaoshi County, Luo Feng realized that something was wrong.

People came to cause trouble for them in waves, intercepting them almost every day. They weren't just simple bandits; on one occasion, it took the intervention of two middle-aged men to resolve the problem.

……

As night fell, shooting stars continued to streak across the sky.

Mar's troops set up camp in an open area to rest, and they lit a fire.

Luo Feng was resting and breathing in one spot when he suddenly sensed someone approaching. He opened his eyes and saw the brother and sister. He couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

He hasn't spoken for over ten days. Now that he's come over, is he going to reveal something about his background?
