37: Fame

When Ling Feng saw the Aptitude Modification Spirit Medicine, his eyes narrowed.

It was unbelievable that such a treasure had appeared in an Earth-Grade draw.

One's Cultivation talent is innate, and items that can change Cultivation talent are extremely rare; any appearance of such an item leads to major powers fighting desperately for it.

This shows the preciousness of these ten portions of Aptitude Modification Spirit Liquid.

However, after checking the specific details of the Aptitude Modification Spirit Liquid, Ling Feng understood why such a precious item could be obtained in an Earth-Grade draw.

It turned out that these ten portions of Aptitude Modification Spirit Liquid had limitations: they could only raise a person's original Aptitude by one level, but only for Martial Artists with Cultivation talents below that of a Genius.

Ling Feng was already very satisfied with this effect.

Currently, within the Family, only Ling Zifan and Ling Xuanji had outstanding talents; among the other Family Disciples, let alone reaching the Genius level, there were barely any with high-grade Cultivation talent.

However, Ling Feng did not intend to use these ten portions of Aptitude Modification Spirit Liquid on the Family Disciples.

Instead, he planned to give them to Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and others.

After all, they were to help him manage the Family, and if their Cultivation was too low, it might be fine for now, but as the Family's power grew stronger, their strength would be insufficient.

Moreover, the Family would surely absorb external talents into the Ling Family in the future, so if they themselves lacked strong power, it would be difficult to win people's hearts.

After thinking about this, Ling Feng casually put them back into his System backpack, then shifted his gaze to the characters he had drawn.

Ling Feng had originally thought he would be blessed by luck and draw a Heaven Martial Realm powerhouse again, but unfortunately, he only drew Earth Martial Realm Shadow Guardss.

However, when he thought that these were six Earth Martial Realm Shadow Guardss, Ling Feng felt more surprise; the Heaven Martial Realm Shadow Guards he had imagined earlier was now long forgotten.

But then again, the Ling Family was currently in a period of rapid development, and all aspects required powerhouses to oversee them.

If he had only drawn one Heaven Martial Realm Shadow Guards, he truly wouldn't have known how to allocate him.

So, for now, six Earth Martial Realm Shadow Guardss would play a far greater role than one Heaven Martial Realm Shadow Guards.

With this thought, Ling Feng did not temporarily store the rewards in his System backpack; instead, he silently chanted to the System in his mind.

"System, summon the characters obtained from the draw."

"Understood, Host."

As the System's voice fell, the space in front of Ling Feng distorted.

A moment later, six middle-aged men dressed in black brocade robes appeared before him.

Upon seeing Ling Feng, the six men immediately knelt on one knee, cupped their hands, and respectfully saluted.

"Ling Gang, greetings to the Family Head."

"Ling Ping, greetings to the Family Head."

"Ling Heng, greetings to the Family Head."

"Ling Rong..."

"Ling Lu..."

"Ling Ze..."

Watching the six men introduce themselves one by one, Ling Feng couldn't help but scrutinize and investigate them.

This investigation truly astonished Ling Feng.

Ling Feng had originally thought that the six would probably only be Martial Artists in the Early Stage of the Earth Martial Realm, but to his surprise, all six of them were Martial Artists in the Late Stage of the Earth Martial Realm.

Any one of them could sweep across the entire Qingyun Town.

More importantly, their talents were not weak, and breaking through to the Heaven Martial Realm in the future would not be difficult.

Ling Feng calmed and composed his excited heart, then instructed the six men.

"Currently, the Shadow Pavilion only has Ling Xuan, an Earth Martial Realm Martial Artist, which greatly hinders the Shadow Pavilion's development.

Ling Gang, Ling Ping, Ling Heng, I want you three to go to the Shadow Pavilion and help Ling Xuan develop it.

You three will temporarily serve as Earth-Grade assassins in the Shadow Pavilion, holding Earth-Grade tokens."

Upon hearing this, Ling Gang and the other two stood up and respectfully replied.

"Yes, Family Head."

Ling Feng nodded at the three, then instructed Ling Rong.

"Ling Rong, I temporarily do not want the Shadow Pavilion to be associated with the Ling Family at this stage, so I need you to go out and thoroughly investigate the Limitless Sect for me."

"Yes, Family Head."

At this moment, Ling Feng turned his gaze to Ling Lu and Ling Ze, and said.

"Currently, within the Ling Family, apart from myself, Ling Di, and Ling Qing, there are no other powerhouses overseeing it.

You two will temporarily take charge within the Family and, while you're at it, instruct the Family Disciples."

"Yes, Family Head."

"Alright, are your respective tasks clear?"

"Clear."

Upon hearing this, the six men stepped forward in unison, responding respectfully in one voice.

"Very good.

Since that's the case, get busy.

This Family Head awaits good news from each of you."

"Yes."

As his voice fell, the figures of the men vanished directly from Ling Feng's room.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but complain.

"Next time, I'll have to make them change this habit of appearing and disappearing like ghosts; a few more times and they'll give me a heart attack."

Afterward, Ling Feng went to the bed, let out a long yawn, and instead of Cultivating, lay down and fell into a deep sleep... Meanwhile.

The news that three Earth Martial Realm Elders and about twenty Sect Disciples of the Mystic Limit Sect had been slain by a Heaven Martial Realm powerhouse of the Ling Family spread throughout the entire Great Chu Dynasty in just one night.

Who in the entire Dynasty did not know the name of the Qingyun Ling Family?

The lords and high-ranking officials of various large and small powers were all astonished upon receiving the news.

A Family in a small Qingyun Town had unexpectedly produced a Heaven Martial Realm powerhouse and two Earth Martial Realm powerhouses.

Had the Ling Family been too low-key before?

If it weren't for this incident with the Mystic Limit Sect, would the Ling Family have continued to hide in obscurity?

This was simply a living example of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

"Qingyun Town Ling Family!"

This Family was deeply etched in the minds of the various large and small powers and countless Martial Artists throughout the Dynasty.

A powerful Martial Artist forging the prosperity of a Family was an extremely common sight on the Desolate Ancient Continent... Fengdu.

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Hall.

"Qingyun Town Ling Family."

"How interesting.

I didn't expect another Heaven Martial Realm Martial Artist to be born in my Great Chu Dynasty.

What's more, this Ling Family Head, Ling Feng, is not yet twenty years old but possesses Earth Martial Realm Cultivation.

Such talent is simply terrifying."

"The Great Chu Dynasty absolutely cannot contain a true Dragon like Ling Feng.

He has a much broader world awaiting him.

However, the current Ling Family is worth my efforts to win over and invest in.

Perhaps in the future, they will bring me unexpected gains."

King Chu Tianji of the Great Chu Dynasty put down the secret report, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and murmured softly.

"Someone."

"Your Majesty."

As Chu Tianji's voice fell, a black figure slowly appeared from a corner of the hall, then stepped forward and respectfully responded.

"Issue an imperial decree: Ling Feng, the Family Head of the Ling Family, possesses extraordinary and unparalleled talent.

He is hereby granted the title of Marquis of my Great Chu Dynasty, with the honorific 'Unrivaled'!

"Furthermore, the Dynasty Academy is about to begin enrollment.

The Qingyun Town Ling Family may send five Disciples from their Family to study there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
