Chapter 130: Divine Imperial Physician, Do You Qualify!

"Brat, it's you again!"

Jia Lang tightly clenched his fists and took a decisive step forward. "Hey you, brat surnamed Ling, I was the one who found this treasure first!”

When Lin Xian'er saw Ling Feng seize the square-shaped vessel before anyone else, a hint of satisfaction arose within her, yet she couldn't shake off a sense of foreboding.

Jia Lang, a prominent figure in Hanwu County, and Ling Feng, not one to be trifled with, posed a formidable threat to each other. If they were to engage in a fight...

Lin Xian'er slapped her forehead in frustration. Nevertheless, she could only sigh quietly, realizing that if the situation deteriorated any further, her last resort might be to seek assistance from her teacher, hoping that it would be enough to pacify Jia Lang.

Unconsciously, Lin Xian'er had already begun to regard Ling Feng and herself as companions.

Ling Feng didn't even bother to raise his eyes, his expression indifferent as he said, "Step aside."

"I'll say it once more: this treasure was discovered by me first. If you relinquish it now, I can overlook your previous rudeness!" Jia Lang maintained a cold tone as he reiterated.

Observing the unfolding situation, Ouyang Yu swiftly approached Jia Lang's side. With a brief glance, he assessed Ling Feng, noting his current cultivation level at just the Qi Formation Realm. Though a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes, he maintained a composed and courteous demeanor as he addressed Ling Feng, "Esteemed guest, I am Ouyang Yu, the young master of the Treasure Pavilion. It was indeed Mr. Jia who first discovered this item. I kindly ask that you return it and choose another." ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

"Of course, as a gesture of apology from our Treasure Pavilion, I'm prepared to offer you compensation for your inconvenience."

"Oh?" Ling Feng finally lifted his gaze, a faint smile curling his lips. "Alright, give me five million crystal coins, and I'll let go of this item."

"F-Five million!"

The declaration startled everyone nearby.

This is nothing short of daylight robbery!

"Sir, your demand is rather impudent!" Ouyang Yu gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"If you've got no money, don't pretend to be a big shot and stand up for others." Ling Feng sneered. "Just step aside and don't block the way."

"You!" Ouyang Yu's eyes blazed with anger. His voice took on a colder tone as he retorted, "If you don't want to behave properly, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Given that the path of martial arts was fraught with strife and combat, nobody dared assert that they would never face injuries or illnesses. When it came to treating the injuries of warriors, only a Daoist physician was deemed capable.

Therefore, unless there was some deep-seated enmity, few would willingly offend a Daoist physician, let alone a divine imperial one.

"Ah, so you're Godlike Physician Ling. A pleasure to meet you!"

"I am the head of the Li family in Hanwu County. Today, it is truly an honor for me to have the chance to witness the brilliance of Godlike Physician Ling."

...

Guests rushed forward to greet him, their expressions filled with respect as they sought to establish connections with this emerging talent among the divine imperial physicians.

"Hmph, he's just a mere country doctor. Being a divine imperial physician doesn't make him all that impressive."

Observing the deferential treatment Ling Feng received from the surrounding guests, Jia Lang couldn't shake off his irritation. With a cold demeanor, he remarked, "Brat, don't think you're special just because you carry the title of divine imperial physician. You're nothing more than a Qi Formation Realm waste. This is Hanwu County, my turf. Even if you were a dragon, you'd have to yield to me!"

"Mr. Jia, your words are uncalled for. How could you address Godlike Physician Ling like that?" Before Ling Feng could respond, the other guests immediately stepped in to rebuke Jia Lang.

"Mr. Jia Lang, I have some acquaintance with your father. Consider me an elder to you. If you don't want to cause trouble for your father, it would be wise to apologize to Godlike Physician Ling!"

"Jia Lang, while your usual indulgence may be overlooked, today's antics must cease. Otherwise, we, as your elders, may find it necessary to offer you a lesson on behalf of your father!"

"You all!" Jia Lang was so infuriated that he almost spat blood. Most of the guests surrounding him held significant standing in Hanwu County, often addressing him with endearments like 'Nephew' or 'Young Master Jia'. Yet now, they all seemed to align themselves with Ling Feng!

A slight curve formed at the corner of Ling Feng's lips. He hadn't expected the 'divine imperial physician' badge to wield such influence. No wonder Sun Siyi, who claimed to be the 'youngest divine imperial physician in the empire', had swaggered about with such arrogance while brandishing this token.

"What's the matter? Have your ears stopped working?" Ling Feng calmly stowed away the token and said, "Go bring the head of the Ouyang family over."

"Um..." Ouyang Yu hesitated, feeling the weight of his family's strict rules. If this situation escalated and reached the ears of the head, revealing that he had disclosed the treasure's location to Jia Lang would bring dire consequences upon him as the young master.

"Brother Ouyang, what's there to fear?" Jia Lang's eyes gleamed with a fierce resolve. "I've never backed down from anyone in my life! Today, regardless of your status as a divine imperial physician, I'll make sure to give you a proper lesson!"

With a decisive snap, Jia Lang closed his folding fan and began channeling his internal true qi, ready to fight Ling Feng.
