Background / History

Ling Feng has served Qin Shuang since childhood and remained his lifelong companion. Though a peak Qi Refining cultivator, he is a pure magic cultivator whose body has only been passively strengthened by qi; he could not open the ancient abode's stone gate, which required raw physical strength rather than spells, artifacts, or talismans. 38

He was part of Qin Shuang's expedition to the ancient cultivator's abode on Snake Mountain in the Yue Kingdom. During the journey, he identified the region's demonic-beast threat and displayed metal-element spells capable of piercing snake-type beasts with golden spears and arrows. 39

Inside the abode, Ling Feng was injured during an ambush by Liu Peng and Hu Xinrong. Xu Yang carried him through the nine elemental barriers while he provided information about the trials and later lent Xu Yang his Mystic Gold Sword Talisman. 41 42 His cooperation with Xu Yang developed into trust after Xu Yang gave the Taiyin Jade Rabbit—an inheritance treasure—to him for Qin Mengyao rather than keeping it. 43

After recovering with a top-grade Qi Recovery Pill, Ling Feng fought alongside Xu Yang against the traitors. He killed Liu Peng, later used the Mystic Gold Sword Talisman to kill Zhao Man, and used the God-Sealing Lock to help Xu Yang defeat Hu Xinrong. 44 45 46

Following the expedition, he received a Foundation Establishment Pill and chose to enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. 47

Personality

Ling Feng is vigilant and observant. He notices when the warning restriction outside Snake Mountain's valley has disappeared, immediately recognizing that other cultivators have entered the area. 40

He is deeply loyal to Qin Shuang and the Qin household, and he remains concerned for Xu Yang's safety even while injured or engaged in battle. During the abode trials, he worries over Xu Yang forcing open the stone gate; later, he focuses on ending his own battle quickly because Xu Yang is at a disadvantage against Hu Xinrong. 42 45

Though initially suspicious of Xu Yang's motives in the ancient abode, Ling Feng acknowledges his mistake once Xu Yang entrusts him with the Taiyin Jade Rabbit. He openly credits Xu Yang for saving his life and helping secure the expedition's rewards. 43 44 47
