Meanwhile, in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's council hall, two burly mercenaries were reporting on Nalan Sheng to a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face.

After listening to his two subordinates' report, the middle-aged man subconsciously tapped the armrest of his chair with his finger and said, "According to you, that kid is not only alone, but he is also carrying at least 100,000 gold coins with him."

"Yes, Commander, that's a once-in-a-century opportunity to find a fat sheep."

"Commander, there's an old saying that goes, 'The bold get rich, the timid starve.' It would be such a waste to let him leave like this!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was tempted, the two mercenaries who had come to deliver the message quickly pressed their advantage and urged him on.

"..."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then turned to the young mercenary beside him and said, "Li'er, you personally lead a group to keep an eye on that kid. If he stays in town, or if any family elders come to meet him, then bring your men back directly!"

If that kid really is some young master who ran away from home and foolishly ventured into the Monster Mountain Range, then he's just unlucky.

"Don't worry, Father, I know what to do."

A cold glint flashed in the young mercenary's eyes. He quickly took a few trusted men and went to secretly monitor Nalan Sheng's every move.

On the other side, after purchasing the supplies, Nalan Sheng did not rush into the Monster Mountain Range, but instead found an inn to stay temporarily.

Nalan Sheng had never entered the Monster Mountain Range before. If he were to directly enter the Monster Mountain Range to search for treasure, he would be playing with his life.

Therefore, Nalan Sheng planned to wait until nightfall before sending the shadow ninjas with the map into the Monster Mountain Range to search for the Fighting King's Cave from the original story.

Although the shadow ninjas are weak, they can move around as shadows.

As long as the Shadow Ninjas don't provoke the monsters in the Monster Mountain Range, it will be difficult for those monsters to find their tracks, making it the most suitable time for them to scout ahead.

[System, I want to purchase Huanglong Dan.]

After arriving at the luxurious room on the second floor of the inn, Nalan Sheng first locked the door from the inside, then summoned the system shop and silently recited a prayer in his mind.

"Clatter!"

With a soft sound, a pill the size of a thumb landed out of thin air in Nalan Sheng's palm.

This pill is called the Yellow Dragon Pill, and it is one of the newly added items in the system shop. Its attributes are as follows:

【Name: Huanglongdan】

[Effect: A sacred medicine of the martial arts world, refined from several centuries-old medicinal herbs, which can greatly enhance the user's cultivation level.]

[Price: 1000 Villain Points]

"Gulp!"

Nalan Sheng subconsciously leaned closer to Huanglong Dan and took a sniff. He was immediately invigorated by the rich medicinal aroma and couldn't help but swallow.

Feeling the surging battle qi within his body, Nalan Sheng did not hesitate at all and swallowed the Yellow Dragon Pill in one gulp.

Not long after Huanglongdan entered his stomach, Nalan Sheng felt a powerful and pure medicinal force rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Nalan Sheng quickly sat cross-legged and fully activated the Thunderclap Technique, continuously refining the medicinal power into battle qi.

Time passed slowly, and before long, night fell.

Apart from the two shadow ninjas left behind by Nalan Sheng to protect him, the other eight shadow ninjas took the map he gave them and headed to the Monster Mountain Range to find the Fighting King's Cave.

Because the shadow ninja could move stealthily in the shadows, Mu Li and the others, who had been secretly monitoring Nalan Sheng, did not discover its existence.

After Nalan Sheng had been using the Thunderclap Technique at full power for most of the day, he finally refined the last trace of the Yellow Dragon Pill's medicinal power.

With the complete refinement of the Yellow Dragon Pill, Nalan Sheng's cultivation level increased dramatically from a one-star Dou Zhe to a five-star Dou Zhe, saving him at least one or two years of arduous cultivation.

Unfortunately, there was only one Yellow Dragon Pill available in the system shop; otherwise, Nalan Sheng would definitely have bought several more to further improve his cultivation.

For the next few days, Nalan Sheng remained in seclusion in his room to cultivate, so as to avoid the problem of his cultivation breaking through too quickly and causing instability in his foundation.

Seeing this, Mu Li, who was hiding in the shadows, began to feel a little irritated.

Mu Li was unaware that Nalan Sheng was consolidating his cultivation. He thought Nalan Sheng had sensed danger and was deliberately hiding in the inn.

If Nalan Sheng had continued to hide in the inn, Mu Li and the others really wouldn't have dared to do anything to him.

After all, killing and robbing in secret is a completely different concept from killing and robbing openly.

If the Wolf Head Mercenary Group dared to intercept and kill Nalan Sheng in public, they would probably have nowhere to hide in the entire Gama Empire.

Just when Muli was about to give up, Nalan Sheng, who had been hiding in the inn, suddenly left Qingshan Town and plunged into the Monster Mountain Range.

Upon seeing this, Mu Li was overjoyed and hurriedly followed with several trusted men, while also sending someone to inform his father.

At first, Mu Li was a little worried that Nalan Sheng might be pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

However, Mu Li quickly dismissed the idea, because after Nalan Sheng entered the Monster Mountain Range, he showed no signs of vigilance whatsoever, as if he were out enjoying a leisurely outing.

It is important to know that the Monster Mountain Range is fraught with danger. Even experienced mercenaries need to remain vigilant at all times after entering the Monster Mountain Range to avoid being attacked by monsters that suddenly appear.

As a result, after entering the Monster Mountain Range, Nalan Sheng swaggered along, occasionally slipping into bushes, completely disregarding the monsters living in the Monster Mountain Range.

It's hard to say whether it's a case of fools having good luck or not. Despite Nalan Sheng's extremely dangerous and reckless behavior, he didn't encounter a single magical beast, leaving Mu Li and the others speechless.

"Young Commander, we're already far enough from Qingshan Town, and that kid is clearly a rookie. Should we just take action directly?"

After traveling through the Monster Mountain Range with Nalan Sheng for half a day, one of the young mercenaries with a hideous scar on his face couldn't help but whisper to Mu Li.

"..."

Mu Li pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright! Then we won't wait for Dad and the others. You and Xi Mu will take a detour to flank them from the front, and don't let that kid get away."

"Yes, Young Commander."

Upon hearing this, the scarred mercenary quickly led another mercenary to take a shortcut and block Nalan Sheng's path.

"Shhh..."

Nalan Sheng, who was on his way, suddenly stopped, took out his Desert Eagle with a playful expression, and looked at the bushes ahead from which the strange noise was coming.

Soon, two mercenaries dressed in leather armor and wearing wolf head badges emerged from the bushes with ill intent.
