The Famous Woman, Nalan Yanran

In a dense forest, there is a babbling brook. Two people are sitting beside the brook, and one person is lying down. Two men and one woman.

Of the two men, one was older and the other younger.

The old man looked quite advanced in years, but he was in excellent spirits, leaving no doubt that he could still devour a whole sheep in one meal. Lying beside the old man was a young man of about twenty years old.

"He's awake," the old man said.

Upon hearing this, the girl stood up from the ground and walked to the side of the other person lying on the ground.

The unconscious young man opened his eyes, looking at the two people beside him with unfamiliar expressions. He was certain he didn't recognize them. "Who are you? Where am I?"

The old man stroked his beard and replied with a hint of pride, "I am Ge Ye, a steward of the Yunlan Sect. This is our Young Sect Leader Nalan Yanran."

"Yunlan Sect? Nalan Yanran?"

The young man stared in disbelief at the girl beside him.

The young woman possessed a cold and aloof appearance; her beautiful and delicate face could only be compared to that of Xiao Xun'er, who was as pure as Azure Lotus. She wore a moon-white robe, her exquisite figure curvaceous and alluring. Green jade pendants dangled from her delicate earlobes, emitting a clear, melodious sound as they swayed slightly, revealing a touch of noble elegance.

"I've arrived at Battle Through the Heavens?"

Five words came out of the young man's mouth.

"Battle Through the Heavens?"

Ge Ye raised an eyebrow and corrected, "This is not Battle Through the Heavens, this is Fallen Phoenix Slope outside Wutan City."

"Wutan City?"

The young man murmured, his eyes fixed on Nalan Yanran.

Memories surfaced in the young man's mind. Nalan Yanran had appeared in Wutan City to try and break off her engagement with Xiao Yan, a transmigrator from Wutan City. The young man wondered if Nalan Yanran had already broken off her engagement with Xiao Yan: "You've been to Wutan City?"

"Not yet," Ge Ye replied.

Nalan Yanran was rather aloof. Noticing the young man's gaze fixed on her, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She subconsciously categorized him as a philanderer.

"So you're going to..."

"Wutan City".

Ge Ye answered the young man's question, she asked curiously, "What's your name? How did you end up falling from the sky?"

To fall from the sky, and from a height of ten thousand meters, and still survive—such an extraordinary event was something Ge Ye had never heard of before.

Moreover, a ball of energy within the young man prevents Ge Ye from probing his cultivation level. Ge Ye still doesn't know the young man's origins or his exact cultivation level.

However, Ge Ye thought that only Dou Wang level Dou Zhe had the ability to fly high in the sky. He figured the young man must have Dou Wang cultivation. Given how young the young man looked, Ge Ye assumed he had just entered the Dou Wang realm. He assumed the young man had fallen from the sky because he wasn't proficient in practicing Qi Transformation Wings.

"Ye Feng," the young man replied.

"Ye Feng?" Ge Ye murmured, repeating the young man's name.

"The leaf of a tree, the peak of a mountain. Ye Feng," the young man replied in detail.

"Ye Feng," Ge Ye continued, repeating the young man's name.

Ge Ye sized up the young man.

Anyone who reaches the Dou Wang realm will become a prominent figure in the Gamma Empire. Currently, among the top ten strongest individuals in the Gamma Empire, there is Dou Wang realm Dou Zhe.

Ge Ye wondered how, since the young man had reached the level of Dou Wang, he had never heard of Ye Feng in the Gamma Empire or any of the surrounding empires.

Ge Ye felt that the young man might not have revealed his real name.

"How did you fall from the sky? Which sect are you a disciple of?" Ge Ye continued to ask the young man.

"Did you save me?" The young man changed the subject, clearly not wanting to answer the related question.

"It was our Young Sect Leader who saved you. Miss saw you fall from the sky to the ground, and by the time she arrived, several jackals were trying to eat you. It was the Young Sect Leader who fought off those jackals," Ge Ye explained in detail.

"Oh."

The young man looked at Nalan Yanran. Wasn't this implying he owed Nalan Yanran a life?

The young man tried to sit up from the ground, but gasped. The simple act of sitting up felt as if a muscle had been pulled out of him.

Ge Ye sensed from the young man's expression that he didn't want to talk about his affairs. He wisely refrained from pressing further and smiled, saying, "Brother Ye Feng, your injuries are quite severe. Don't move around too much. The Young Sect Leader has already sent Liu Ling to a nearby village to hire a carriage."

"Um."

The young man nodded.

As they spoke, the sound of a cow came from the other side of the stream. A farmer and a young man were driving a cow toward them.

"An oxcart?" Nalan Yanran raised an eyebrow.

"Liu Ling".

Ge Ye questioned, "Didn't the Young Sect Leader tell you to hire a horse-drawn carriage? Why did you bring an oxcart to haul goods?"

"There's no other way. The nearest city is Wutan City. It takes a whole day to travel there and back. I could only get this oxcart from a nearby village," a young man in a moon-white robe replied to Ge Ye.

"Liu Ling?"

Ye Feng sized up Liu Ling Liu Ling, recalling relevant information about her in his mind.

Liu Ling was a disciple of Pill King Gu He. She was ultimately defeated by Xiao Yan in the Grand Tournament of the Gamma Empire's Alchemist Guild. Importantly, her opponent was an alchemist.

Ye Feng came from the Douluo Continent, and he certainly didn't know how to refine medicine. Thinking of this, Ye Feng's lips curled up, and he sighed inwardly, "Sigh, I really envy Liu Ling. She's an alchemist at such a young age. But me? Besides being good at fighting, I'm nothing."

"Ding-dong!"

"The system senses that the Host is envious of Liu Ling being an alchemist. The Host Host that apart from being good at fighting, he is nothing. As the Host of the system, the system is very dissatisfied with this. The system has decided to enlighten the Host and grant him five major professions: alchemist, Formation Master, Talism Master, Tomb Raider, and weapon refiner."

"Alchemist, Formation Master, Talism Master, Tomb Raider, Weapon Refiner!"

Ye Feng was amused.

Ye Feng originally thought that he would only gain the profession of alchemist, but he never expected that he would also have four other professions: Formation Master, Talism Master, Tomb Raider, and weapon refiner.

Moreover, the proficiency in each profession is at its peak. That is to say, it is at the tenth rank.

Aside from the five major professions, a massive amount of information was also poured into Ye Feng's mind. Ye Feng discovered that he had acquired countless methods for alchemy, formations, talismans, tomb raiding, and weapon crafting.

"Brother Ye Feng, look..." Ge Ye knew that Ye Feng had a cultivation level above Dou Wang, but he still addressed Ye Feng as brother with respect. He glanced somewhat embarrassedly at the very simple oxcart.

The oxcart had only one ox pulling it. It was clearly an oxcart used by farmers to haul goods.

Ge Ye was unsure whether Ye Feng would humble himself and be willing to ride in this oxcart.
