After a brief introduction, Ling Feng learned that the na of the authority is Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang was originally from the Jungle Tribe, but after arriving in Xuantian City, he gained the recognition of the Golden Armor soldiers because he was clever and sensible. Eventually, he t the City Lord and earned his trust, which led to his rise.
Now he oversees the First Layer. Not only is he prominent, but his subordinates must also contribute from ti to ti. This state can already be considered the Peak of life.
Ling Feng complinted him a few tis without asking much about Xuantian City’s situation, then inquired, "Lord Xiang Yang, you ntioned you wanted my help. What is it?"
"It’s like this: I have a friend who is an authority in the Second Layer. He has so chronic ailnts. I just recovered from a major illness and forgot about it until my wife reminded , so I sent Lai Fu to find you," Xiang Yang said.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ling Feng thought to himself, I’m just thinking about going to the Second Layer, and now the opportunity arises!
It’s truly like soone brought a pillow right when I felt sleepy - whatever I wished for just cos!
So, without even asking about the illness, he nodded imdiately: "Alright, I can go check on the Lord later!"
"Great!"
Xiang Yang hadn’t expected him to agree so readily, and his face lit up with joy!
Then, he turned to glance at his wife.
That middle-aged beautiful woman smiled, reached from her waist, and handed him a piece of green jade.
Xiang Yang directly passed it over to Ling Feng: "Divine Doctor Ling, this is my personal Token. As long as you are on the First Layer, seeing this is the sa as seeing personally. Keep it!"
"Oh, is this really appropriate?"
Ling Feng was stunned upon seeing it.
"Brother, if you’re willing to help , then we’re as close as family and brothers!" Xiang Yang said.
Thus, Ling Feng could only smile and say: "Then I can only accept with gratitude."
He wasn’t planning to just co and gather information and then leave. If he could stay and develop so of Ling Family’s forces here, it would be ideal!
Now that he had this Token, it was like he had secured a footing on the First Layer of Xuantian City, which was certainly a good thing!
After sitting for a while, Xiang Yang and his wife asked about his background and origins. Ling Feng didn’t hide and directly ntioned he was from Ling Family Village.
Actually, whether he said it or not didn’t matter much, as Ling Family Village is too small and rely an insignificant village within the Xuanling Realm that few outsiders have heard of.
But after all, in making friends, it’s essential to be open and honest.
After chatting for a while, Ling Feng got up to take his leave, and Xiang Yang specifically instructed Lai Fu to accompany him to the Second Layer to find the authority there.
After the two left, on the way to the Second Layer, Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Brother Lai Fu, is it alright if I call you this?"
"Please, Divine Doctor Ling, calling that is too much! Just call by my na!" Lai Fu said.
"But how could I!"
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "Your age is greater than mine, calling you brother is certainly appropriate!"
"Brother, you are too polite!"
Lai Fu looked deeply moved.
Ling Feng laughed and then asked: "By the way, brother, how many layers does Xuantian City have, and what are the differences between each layer?"
Having arrived at this place, what he most wanted to do was thoroughly understand the environnt and various cultural aspects here.
So things are useless to ask ordinary citizens about; it must be from people with authority to gain so insights.
Therefore, earlier Ling Feng gave Lai Fu dozens of Gold Beans, and that certainly wasn’t for nothing.
This trick is called winning people’s hearts.
Clearly, Ling Feng executed it very successfully.
Lai Fu was now openly communicative with him, ready to share whatever was asked.
Very soon, Ling Feng learned many things from him, including so secrets unknown to outsiders.
Xuantian City is divided into ten layers, with eight lower layers occupied by ordinary people. The Ninth Layer is ho to the Dragon Clan, and Lai Fu doesn’t even know their exact statuses.
While the City Lord resides on the Tenth Layer, where there are few buildings—all belonging to his domain.
Among these eight lower layers, there’s a division between the lower four layers and the upper four layers.
This differentiation also essentially creates a sort of hierarchy.
The upper four layers hold a sense of pride due to their proximity to the Dragon Clan and often look down upon the lower four layers.
After understanding these circumstances, Ling Feng thought, in order to recruit more people into Ling Family’s forces, the best choice in this place would certainly be the lower four layers.
However, here is evidently not as convenient as Ling Family Village, a small village. While developing his forces, he also needs to guard against anyone reporting to the Dragon Clan or the City Lord, which is quite troubleso.
Ling Feng thought, with limited ti, can he gather a force here capable of resisting the Dragon Clan?
It’s quite challenging!
While pondering this, Lai Fu had already led him to the Second Layer. After a check, they were allowed to enter.
This Second Layer is similar to the First Layer, with the only difference being far fewer thugs and ruffians. The streets are crowded with ordinary people.
Their lifestyle here is significantly better than below; they are self-sufficient and don’t need to exploit those in the slums.
Then, Ling Feng followed Lai Fu to the ho of the Second Layer’s authority and t an elder in his sixties.
This person is nad Mu Xi. He has been an authority in Xuantian City for years, and from his eyes alone, one can tell he is very shrewd.
Before even discussing his illness, he thoroughly inquired about Ling Feng’s background, nearly asking about his ancestors down to eighteen generations.
Aside from being from Ling Family Village, everything else about Ling Feng was fabricated, yet he answered fluently.
After finishing his questions, Mu Xi finally started talking about his illness.
In his younger years, this elder was quite reckless, indulging in various escapades throughout the Second Layer. He lived a more adventurous life than the emperors Ling Feng had heard of, which eventually led to physical exhaustion. As a result, in old age, he suffered from kidney failure and ongoing chronic illness.
After understanding the situation, Ling Feng didn’t personally treat him. Instead, he casually prescribed a formula, asking him to send soone to find the ingredients. Once acquired, he could ensure the ailnt gets cured from its root.
Upon hearing Lai Fu’s introduction, Mu Xi knew Ling Feng’s dical skills were exceptional, so he swiftly sent soone out to find the herbs.
Fortunately, Ling Feng had studied the herbs here sowhat after arriving, so the prescribed formula contained common items, allowing them to be gathered quickly.
Later, Ling Feng requested a sealed space for refining the dicine, and Mu Xi complied.
Soon, Ling Feng produced several dicinal Pills and handed them to Mu Xi, instructing: "Lord Mu, take three of these pills daily—one each at morning, noon, and night. After consumption, you’ll personally experience the effects!"
Mu Xi’s eyes glead as he eagerly asked: "Will my capabilities in that area still recover sowhat?"
