60: Peijiafang City
The Cultivation World of Zheng Country is basically the same as Great Xin and Wei Country; there is very little connection between the mundane world and the Cultivation World. Only in major cities can one find clues about Cultivators. Therefore, Lin Feng came to Fengjun City in Zheng Country. Here, Lin Feng Cultivated while searching for rumors about Cultivators and Immortals in Fengjun City.
Although Lin Feng found some legends, he never found any traces. Finally, Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to directly approach some of the major forces in the area.
Fengjun City has two major Gangs that have always been at odds but each occupy their own territory. The local government cannot control them. These two major Gangs are called the Small Knife Society and the Fierce Tiger Gang.
The Small Knife Society mainly deals in prostitution and theft within the city, while the Fierce Tiger Gang is responsible for shipping at the docks and gambling. There isn't much conflict of interest between these two major Gangs, but small skirmishes are constant. However, there has never been a major bloodbath. Lin Feng has been here for a month and has already figured out that these two Gangs have backers.
Lin Feng first found Gang Leader Meng Tasha of the Fierce Tiger Gang. Gang Leader Meng Tasha had just finished his activities with a woman and was lying in bed savoring the moment. At this time, Lin Feng, without his knowledge, had already entered Gang Leader Meng Tasha's room and was sitting at a table, asking with a hint of teasing:
"Gang Leader Meng, are you done with your business? I have some questions for you."
He, who was embracing his concubine in bed, suddenly opened his eyes, extremely shocked. Someone had broken into his room, and he didn't know how long he had been there. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his head. He got up, drew the precious saber by the bed, and looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression.
At the same time, he pushed the frightened concubine aside, looking at Lin Feng with a serious expression, yet not daring to make a move. He tentatively asked:
"Your Excellency, who are you? What do you want with me, Meng Tasha?"
Lin Feng glanced at Gang Leader Meng Tasha, then at his concubine, signaling Gang Leader Meng Tasha to send her away.
Although Gang Leader Meng Tasha didn't know why Lin Feng was there, he understood that it was inconvenient to talk with a woman present. He waved his hand, telling the woman to leave. The woman, thinking herself alluring, still wanted to act spoiled and have Gang Leader Meng Tasha attack Lin Feng.
That Gang Leader Meng Tasha, being able to become a Gang Leader, naturally had some discernment. He slapped her across the face and said fiercely, "Scram!"
The woman covered her face and ran away, crying. Lin Feng and Gang Leader Meng Tasha exchanged glances, signaling each other to sit down and talk.
Gang Leader Meng Tasha's vigilance towards the mysterious Lin Feng greatly increased, but he was also someone who had experienced many trials. He readily sat opposite Lin Feng, looking at him with an unfriendly expression and saying, "Your Excellency, just say what you want quickly, don't dilly-dally."
Lin Feng did not get angry. Instead, he casually performed a few spells in front of him. At this moment, Gang Leader Meng Tasha immediately understood Lin Feng's identity. He quickly came before Lin Feng and hastily knelt down:
"Immortal Master, please forgive me. This lowly one was blind and failed to recognize a great person. Please, Immortal Master, forgive me!"
At this moment, Gang Leader Meng Tasha no longer showed any of his previous displeasure. He knelt before Lin Feng, head bowed, not daring to look up at him.
Lin Feng's purpose in coming here was to understand the situation of the place. He looked at Gang Leader Meng Tasha and asked:
"Gang Leader Meng, since you know I am an Immortal Master, can you tell me about the Immortal Masters here?"
Gang Leader Meng Tasha hesitated when he heard Lin Feng asking about Immortal Masters. Immortal Masters were not something he could discuss. He became somewhat hesitant for a moment.
Lin Feng saw that Gang Leader Meng Tasha had reservations, so he said:
"Gang Leader Meng, there's no need to worry. I'm only here to find some fellow Daoists, not to cause trouble. Tell me about the background of the Immortal Master you rely on."
After speaking, he looked at Gang Leader Meng Tasha with an unyielding gaze.
Gang Leader Meng Tasha knew he couldn't avoid it, so he could only honestly confess. He was under the Wang Family of Fengjun City, and the Wang Family was a Cultivation Family in the area.
Lin Feng inquired about the Wang Family's strength. Gang Leader Meng Tasha was unclear about the Realm of Immortal Masters; he only knew that the Wang Family was a Qi Refining Family and some basic information.
After finding out the whereabouts of the Wang Family, Lin Feng rewarded Gang Leader Meng Tasha with a Medicinal Pill for healing, then his figure flickered and disappeared before Gang Leader Meng Tasha.
Seeing Lin Feng disappear, Gang Leader Meng Tasha breathed a sigh of relief and called his concubine to continue what he hadn't finished.
Lin Feng learned about the Wang Family through Gang Leader Meng Tasha and decided to visit them. However, Lin Feng did not directly pay a visit. As a stranger unfamiliar with the place, a sudden visit might cause misunderstandings. So, he simply went outside the Wang Family's residence and decided to observe for a period first.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Through Lin Feng's observation, the Wang Family was indeed, as Gang Leader Meng Tasha said, just a Qi Refining Family. Lin Feng found an opportunity and befriended a Wang Family Cultivator.
This person's name was Wang Zijing, a junior Cultivator of the Wang Family. Wang Zijing and Lin Feng were of similar age, and both were Qi Refining Cultivators, so communication between them was not a major obstacle.
Although the Wang Family was a distinguished Qi Refining Cultivator Family in this area, Wang Zijing had lived in the Wang Family since childhood and didn't know much about the outside Cultivation World. Lin Feng told him some of his experiences from the outside world, which made him greatly admire Lin Feng's experiences.
After some interactions, the two slowly became familiar. Through Wang Zijing, Lin Feng learned that there was a gathering place for Cultivators several hundred miles away, a market town established by the Pei Family of Six-Party Fort.
The Pei Family was a gigantic Family in the surrounding area, with a Golden Core Old Ancestor overseeing it. They had established a market town here. Hearing that this was a market town established by a Golden Core Family, Lin Feng decided to go and see it.
Lin Feng arrived at the Pei Family Market established by the Pei Family. Many Loose Cultivators lived here by renting the Pei Family's spiritual fields. Lin Feng found that there were various shops and also small Cultivator courtyards available for rent.
Lin Feng was new to Zheng Country and did not yet understand its situation, so he simply settled down here, taking up residence as an Alchemist.
Within the Pei Family Market, half of the industries belonged to the Pei Family, while the rest were owned by various Foundation Establishment Families, big and small, who had some businesses in the market town.
Lin Feng rented a small courtyard here and began his life of Alchemy and Cultivation in an Alchemy chamber established within the Pei Family Market. His days passed peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had lived here for three months. News about Great Xin and Wei Country also reached Zheng Country at this time. When Lin Feng heard the news about the Cultivation World of Great Xin and Wei Country, he specifically inquired about it.
Through his inquiries, Lin Feng learned about the subsequent events: a Nascent Soul Cultivator emerged from the Moyan Sect in Wei Country, becoming the foremost Cultivator in both countries. After that Nascent Soul Old Ancestor achieved Nascent Soul and stabilized his Realm, he personally took action, destroying Qianmen Pass and annihilating Spirit Flame Mountain.
The two Righteous Path Sects of Wei Country have now retreated to Great Xin, and the Four Great Sects of Great Xin have also united. The six major Sects merged into one Sect, called the Six Gate Sect.
The Six Gate Sect somehow managed to invite a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor to fight a great battle with the Moyan Sect's Nascent Soul in Wei Country. The two sides shook hands and made peace. From then on, Wei Country belonged to the Evil Path Moyan Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect, while the Six Gate Sect ruled Great Xin.
