Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Shi Feng Takes an Apprentice (Part 2)

"Ghost Wolf, throughout the time you were with me, we fought side by side in battle," Shi Feng said to Ghost Wolf, pausing for a moment as he saw Ghost Wolf’s expression change and his head hang low in disappointment. Shi Feng continued, "However, I won’t accept a disciple without potential. But I hope, Ghost Wolf, that you can prove yourself to me!"

"Ghost Wolf, for now I will take you as a Registered Disciple. The day you break through to the Seventh-stage Venerable-Level Realm, I will officially accept you as my disciple!"

"Roar!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Ghost Wolf quickly nodded its head and let out a low roar, but Shi Feng saw a resolute look in Ghost Wolf’s eyes.

Afterward, Shi Feng turned his head to look at Earth Fiend, who had completely submitted to Shi Feng’s display of tremendous strength.

When Shi Feng had accepted Dark Evil as his disciple, Shi Feng had also seen a hopeful expression on Earth Fiend’s face, just like Ghost Wolf’s.

"Master!" Earth Fiend called out softly as he saw Shi Feng looking at him.

Shi Feng nodded and said, "You have only just started following me, but I have seen your talent in battle. Like Ghost Wolf, I will take you as a Registered Disciple for now, how about that?"

"Yes, Master! Earth Fiend will surely grow stronger!" Earth Fiend replied solemnly.

"Good, be on your way! Take Blood Fiend with you, and when I see you next time, I hope to see your growth!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Roar!"

Dark Evil, Earth Fiend, and Ghost Wolf responded with respectful roars. Then, under Shi Feng’s gaze, two corpses and a wolf soared into the sky and flew towards the desert in front of Shi Feng, quickly disappearing from Shi Feng’s sight and from this region of the wilderness.

"Roar!" Just then, the Purple Serpent Body hovering in the Void dove towards Shi Feng. With a thought from Shi Feng, the Purple Serpent Body diving towards him rapidly shrank in size, and by the time it was close to Shi Feng, it had become as small as a loach and shot into the space on Shi Feng’s little finger.

"Brother Shi Feng!" From ahead came Zi Ya’s delicate cry. Shi Feng then saw Zi Ya and Priest Kaley gliding towards him with the movement of their serpentine tails. Following behind Kaley was a tall, blue, scale-covered Snake-man Monster; it was Kaley’s grandson, Yi Xin, who had mutated due to ancestral power.

Shi Feng gave Zi Ya a slight smile, but with Shi Feng’s bloody and flesh-stricken face, the smile was not only lacking warmth, but it was also somewhat scary.

Zi Ya had also joined the battle just moments before and still held the Fifth Grade Mystical Thunder Sword that Shi Feng had given her. "Brother Shi Feng, your injuries..." Zi Ya said with concern as she neared Shi Feng, looking at his face and his equally mangled hands.

"It’s nothing, just superficial wounds," Shi Feng replied.

"But, you will have scars. Your face was so handsome before, and now... now... for me, for our Snake-man Race, you’re hurt like this." Zi Ya spoke with a hint of guilt, blaming herself for Shi Feng’s injuries.

Hearing the young girl’s words and seeing the expression she revealed, Shi Feng’s bloodied and indistinct face once again showed an unsettling smile as he comforted her, "It’s okay, with my cultivation technique, it won’t take long to heal to my original state. You don’t need to worry."

"Really?" Although Shi Feng had said so, Zi Ya was still somewhat anxious.

"Rest assured, young girl, a man of Shi Feng’s remarkable abilities will certainly be fine," Kaley also reassured Zi Ya.

"Right! Brother Shi Feng will be okay!" Zi Ya nodded, then looking at Shi Feng, she sincerely thanked him, "Brother Shi Feng, thank you so much for everything this time."

After Zi Ya finished speaking, Kaley also hurriedly followed with sincere gratitude, "Mr. Shi Feng, my Snake-man Clan will never forget the grace you have shown us, generation after generation."

In this battle, thousands of years later, the progeny of the Snake-man Clan still passed down from generation to generation the tale that, thousands of years ago, the great Snake God sent a messenger to lead the Snake-man Clan to victory over the most powerful race in the desert back then—the Dark Elf Clan!

"It’s time for me to leave now that things here are settled!" Shi Feng said to Zi Ya and Kaley.

"Ah! Brother Shi Feng, you’re leaving so soon? You could stay with our Snake-man Clan for a few more days!" Hearing that Shi Feng was leaving, Zi Ya’s face showed a reluctant expression as she spoke to Shi Feng.

"Forget it, I still have a very important matter to attend to, and there’s not much time left. If I have a chance in the future to enter the desert again, I will definitely stay with you for a while," said Shi Feng. At the moment, Hong Yue was still in a coma, and only ten of the ingredients for the Heavenly Injury Life Extending Pill had been found. There was no news from Long Chen and the Alchemy Master Guild’s Qin Yuan, so time was very pressing.

"Right!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Kaley remembered something and hurriedly took out a dark black Jade Box from his storage ring and handed it to Shi Feng, "In the midst of battle, I killed a powerful Dark Elf and found one of the items on your list inside his storage ring."

"Oh?" Shi Feng lightly exclaimed as he took the dark black Jade Box from Kaley’s hand and gently opened it, suddenly a red glow shone out from the box, "This is the Red Cauldron Flower!" Shi Feng looked at the small flower in the box that resembled a tiny red cauldron, quietly growing inside.

The Red Cauldron Flower was one of the materials required for Shi Feng to refine the Heavenly Injury Life Extending Pill. With this Red Cauldron Flower, Shi Feng had collected eleven out of the thirty-seven required ingredients.

"Thank you!" Shi Feng thanked Kaley, then handed him a Jade Scroll, saying, "Should you find any of the materials listed on that scroll in the future, break the scroll immediately to notify me."

"Whatever Mr. Shi Feng entrusts, I will surely accomplish!" Kaley hurriedly accepted the Jade Scroll and responded.

"Also, if the Snake-man Clan encounters any difficulty in the future and needs my help, you can also break the Jade Scroll I gave you at any time, and I will definitely come over as soon as possible!" Shi Feng added.

"Mr. Shi Feng... there’s actually one more thing right now," Kaley spoke up, "The powerhouses of the Dark Elf Clan have mostly been eradicated, but if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Shi Feng, it seems that the Dark Elf Prince Asc managed to escape from your hands by using a mysterious Dark Artifact from Ancient Times!"

As the Priest of the Snake-man Clan, Kaley naturally had considerable knowledge. When he saw the Blood-colored Flame burning Asc and then saw a dark-colored Puppet Doll fall out after the flame disappeared, Kaley thought of the object described in an ancient book, a mysterious artifact from the Ancient Period.

Having heard Kaley, Shi Feng nodded and said, "That’s correct, Asc indeed didn’t die. I also don’t know where he ended up through that Dark Artifact. However, in that case, I will leave the Purple Serpent Body with the Snake-man Clan to protect you, how about
