Holding the apology from Jialiebi in his hands, Ling Feng secretly rejoiced. He'd finally have a place to store his gold coins.
Indeed, the reason Ling Feng obtained the low-level storage ring from Jialiebi was simply to store the gold coins. He could then directly swipe the coins from the ring to buy items, instead of carrying a large bag of gold coins around, attracting attention and trouble.
"What is your third request?"
Jialiebi, pained by the loss, only wanted to end this war reparations quickly and didn't want to see Ling Feng again.
"My third request is that the Jialie family help me collect medicinal herbs, pills, and cultivation resources such as fighting techniques from many years ago. Of course, I will provide whatever gold coins are needed for these resources. Moreover, if you handle this matter well, I can agree to help you deal with the Xiao family."
Ling Feng hesitated slightly before stating his third condition. This time, however, it was a combination of enticement and reward.
Although he knew that the Xiao family was protected by Yao Chen and Gu Xun'er, and he couldn't completely destroy them, he could still annoy and weaken them.
However, Jia Liebi was unaware that he had been used. He was immediately excited upon hearing that Ling Feng was willing to help him deal with the Xiao family, and hurriedly asked, "Is your statement truly true?!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
Ling Feng grinned. "You don't need to doubt it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have a blood feud with the Xiao family; if you don't believe me, you can check."
Hearing this, Jia Liebi's heart stirred, but he still had doubts and tentatively asked, "Actually, with your power, destroying the Xiao family shouldn't be difficult, right? Why do you want to join forces with my Jia Lie family?"
Jia Liebi was cautious; he knew that with the power of Ling Feng's hundred Great Dou Masters, destroying the Xiao family wouldn't be difficult. Therefore, he suspected Ling Feng's motives.
Ling Feng could hear the underlying meaning in Jia Liebi's words. His face turned cold, and he deliberately fabricated, "Simply annihilating your enemy doesn't give you the experience of revenge. I want to gradually plunge the Xiao family into crisis, leaving them helpless, until they ultimately perish."
At this point, Ling Feng's tone shifted, employing a strategy of feigned indifference, "Jialebi, if you're unwilling, I can also approach the Obama family. Just don't regret it."
Hearing this, Jia Liebi couldn't stand it any longer. "Your Excellency, I agree to these three things."
Jia Liebi knew Ling Feng's power all too well. If Ling Feng could truly help his Jia Lie family, it would be a chance for his family to soar. How could Jia Liebi willingly hand it over?
"Very good." Ling Feng grinned, seemingly having expected this.
"Um..."
At this moment, Jia Liebi, who had been knocked unconscious, began to wake up. Upon seeing Ling Feng, he immediately regained consciousness, his anger rising.
Upon seeing his father there, Galeo's face lit up with wild joy, then he glared venomously at Ling Feng and roared, "Ling Feng, you're dead! Father, kill him!"
Galeo, who had sensed Galeo's awakening, was about to visit him, but upon hearing this, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Damn it! How could I have such a wretched son? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so greedy for pleasure and ejaculated on the wall; this bastard wouldn't have been born!"
While a thousand curses raced through his mind, Galeo acted swiftly, waving his hand and unleashing an energy wind blade that knocked Galeo unconscious again.
Poor Galeo, before he could even understand what was happening, was lying dead once more.
"Sir, this unfilial son is ignorant and arrogant. I will hand him over to you for your disposal; do whatever you wish, as long as he doesn't die."
Just like that, Galeo was ruthlessly betrayed by his father.

Galeo's Residence, West Courtyard.
This was the VIP room that Jialiebi arranged for Ling Feng. After the two reached an agreement, Jialiebi invited Ling Feng to stay at the Jialie residence.

After some consideration, Ling Feng finally agreed. After all, a thatched hut was fine for experiencing life, but living there permanently wasn't as comfortable as a large house.
Moreover, Ling Feng thought about his mother, Liu Qingqing, who had worked hard for half her life; she deserved to enjoy herself.
Besides, he already had a cooperative relationship with the Jialie family, and future resources for repairing chains would be collected for him by Jialie Bi, so living at the Jialie family's house was convenient.
Therefore, Ling Feng didn't think much of it and moved in with his mother. When his mother, Liu Qingqing, woke up and learned of Ling Feng's abilities, she initially didn't believe it. However, faced with the change in the Jialie family's attitude towards her, Liu Qingqing finally began to believe and also moved in.
But all of this still felt like a dream to her, and she was somewhat hesitant to accept it. At this moment, she was pulling Ling Feng into her current bedroom, whispering to him.
"Feng'er, is this real? It all feels like a dream."
"Mother, it's real, don't worry."
"Feng'er, how did you suddenly become so powerful? I feel like even Chief Jia Lie is a little afraid of you?"
"Mother, Jia Lie isn't afraid of me, he's afraid of my teacher. I've become so powerful because of my teacher. You don't know how amazing my teacher is..."
To convince his mother to enjoy her life without worry, Ling Feng racked his brains, recalling classic characters from his past life and creating a story based on them.
Liu Qingqing was completely fooled by Ling Feng, no longer thinking twice, and settled in comfortably. Of course, for Liu Qingqing's safety, Ling Feng specifically arranged for ten Shadow 'Seven' to protect her.
...
Noon.
After receiving the first batch of cultivation resources from the Jia Lie family, Ling Feng went directly to his bedroom, closed the door, and prepared to begin his cultivation upgrade.
"This is a third-tier fire-elemental Fire-devouring Fox Demon Core. A second-grade pill, the Empty Void Pill, a three-hundred-year-old He Shou Ginseng..."
Looking at the vast pile of cultivation resources laid out on the bed, Ling Feng's eyes gleamed. "That Jia Liebi is quite capable, getting me so many spiritual herbs and demon cores so quickly. Now, I won't have to worry about resources for cultivation."
Grinning, Ling Feng was incredibly pleased with himself. With the Creation Brush, he was like a tiger with wings, able to get whatever he wanted. Not enough
money? That was a given. With a casual flick of his brush, a small mountain of gold coins appeared.
Forceful suppression? I'll use a swarm tactic; I'll exhaust you!
"Good heavens, they even got me a 500-year-old aphrodisiac herb. But I'm in my prime, I don't need to supplement it. Besides, eating this stuff might not increase my fighting spirit, but instead make me incredibly erect. I'll keep this for now, lest I overdo it and it's not good. I'll start supplementing it when I'm weak later."
Gently, he put a herb that looked somewhat like a leek back into the medicine box.
Then, Ling Feng looked at the other cultivation resources on the bed, sat cross-legged, and prepared to start.
"Let's start with the He Shou Shen (He Shou Shen), this herb is 300 years old, its medicinal power should be enough to activate the Taotie bloodline power."
Thinking of this, Ling Feng picked up the herb that looked like ginseng and put it in his mouth.
"Damn, so astringent and bitter..."
At first, he didn't think much of it, but after chewing carefully, Ling Feng found it extremely difficult to swallow.
"Why is this herb so hard to eat?"
Most of the herbs Ling Feng had swallowed before were licorice-type herbs and fruits. Moreover, the younger the medicinal material, the less potent it was compared to ginseng, making it easier to swallow.
However, the 300-year-old ginseng was too potent, resulting in a less desirable taste, though its effects were incredibly rapid. Ling Feng had only swallowed a sip of the broth when he felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and his internal energy began to circulate rapidly.
Without hesitation, Ling Feng immediately entered a cultivation state, chewing and swallowing the entire ginseng with a pained expression...
