Lin Feng frowned, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I see, for the sake of the stability of the empire, I am willing to cooperate."

Xu Tian couldn't help but interject, "But this is too unfair to Lin Feng. He has to endure so much slander for no reason."

Eunuch Hong looked at Xu Tian and said gently, "This is also a helpless move, but the Emperor will naturally not treat General Lin unfairly, and there will be compensation later."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said seriously, "I didn't agree to this just for compensation. As long as I can eliminate the hidden dangers for the empire, a little grievance is nothing."

At this time, the street outside the carriage was extremely bustling with the sounds of hawkers and children playing, but the people inside the carriage each had their own thoughts.

As the carriage moved forward, Xu Tian looked at the road outside and said to Eunuch Hong in confusion, "This doesn't look like the road to the palace."

Eunuch Hong smiled and said mysteriously, "Of course not going back to the palace, but going to get something."

Lin Feng and Xu Tian looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity.

The carriage stopped in front of a quiet mansion. Eunuch Hong got out first, followed closely by Lin Feng and Xu Tian. Entering the mansion, they saw the courtyard was elegantly decorated, with flowers, plants, and trees arranged in an orderly manner.

In front of a room, Eunuch Hong stopped and gently pushed open the door. Inside the room was an exquisite box. Eunuch Hong carefully picked up the box and handed it to Lin Feng.

"General Lin, this is the compensation the emperor gives you." Eunuch Hong said.

Lin Feng took the box and slowly opened it, only to see a yellowed ancient book inside with the words "Xuanling Secret Book" written on it. Lin Feng's heart was shocked, he knew that this must be an extremely precious treasure.

Eunuch Hong smiled and said, "This Xuanling secret manual is a technique passed down from ancient times. It is of great benefit to practitioners. The Emperor specially gave it to you as a token of his appreciation and compensation."

Lin Feng held the box in his hands, his eyes full of gratitude: "Please thank the Emperor on my behalf, Eunuch."

"This is what you deserve." Eunuch Hong nodded.

After leaving the mansion, Lin Feng and Xu Tian sat in the carriage, unable to calm down for a long time.

Lin Feng gently stroked the box, lost in thought. Xu Tianze said excitedly, "Lin Feng, with this secret book, your cultivation will definitely reach a higher level."

Lin Feng and Xu Tian sat upright, facing the solemn-looking Eunuch Hong. The carriage moved steadily, the sound of the wheels rolling distinctly in the silent air.

Lin Feng stared at Eunuch Hong with a piercing gaze, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. Xu Tian's eyes widened as well, as if he wanted to engrave every word he was about to hear in his mind.

Eunuch Hong coughed lightly and slowly said, "General Lin, the 'Xuanling Secret Book' I want to tell you about today has a great history."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his expression focused, "Please speak, sir."

Eunuch Hong took a deep breath and continued, "This secret book is said to be a copy of the cultivation method practiced by that demigod. Although it is not a complete version, it is enough to allow you to embark on the path to becoming a saint."

Lin Feng and Xu Tian were both shocked when they heard this, and they looked at each other with wide eyes.

"The origin of this 'Xuanling Secret Book' is extremely mysterious. Rumor has it that it might be the skills of a previous god. Millions of years have passed since that god, and there is no trace of any god in the world. This has also caused people to have deep doubts about the existence of gods and whether they can become gods." Eunuch Hong's voice seemed to carry the vicissitudes of time.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Why would you give me such an important thing?"

Eunuch Hong smiled and explained, "General Lin, you have made great achievements on the front lines. Now I have to ask you to lure Wang Taiming out. This 'Xuanling Secret Book' is naturally what you deserve."

Lin Feng pondered inwardly that while each of these matters was important, they seemed far from enough compared to the mysterious "Xuanling Secret Book." However, he also knew that this was not the time to ask too many questions, so he bowed and said, "Then please, eunuch, thank the Emperor for me."

The carriage continued to move forward, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Xu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch, what are the specific uses of this 'Xuanling Secret Book'?"

Eunuch Hong glanced at Xu Tian and slowly said, "This 'Xuanling Secret Book' contains many magical abilities. For example, the Xuanling Shield can condense Xuanling power on the body's surface, forming an indestructible defense that can withstand all kinds of powerful attacks. There is also the Xuanling Impact, which can instantly unleash Xuanling power and deal a fatal blow to the enemy."

Lin Feng listened attentively, as if he could already see how majestic he would be when he used these skills.

"Furthermore, the Xuanling healing power is even more miraculous. It can utilize the vitality attribute of the Xuanling power to quickly heal wounds and restore physical strength and spirit." Eunuch Hong continued.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian's blood boiled after hearing this, and their hearts were filled with desire for this "Xuanling Secret Book".

"As for how to practice, no one knows." Eunuch Hong sighed, "Currently, only that demigod has practiced it. The rest can only learn by groping."

A desire for challenge surged in Lin Feng's heart, and he secretly vowed to understand the mystery of this "Xuanling Secret Book".

The carriage gradually arrived at the west gate of the capital and slowly stopped.

"General Lin, please get off here. I will take you here." Eunuch Hong said.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian stood up and bowed to Eunuch Hong in farewell.

"Father-in-law, see you later." Lin Feng said.

"See you later." Eunuch Hong nodded.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian got off the carriage and looked at the prosperous capital city in front of them, their hearts filled with emotion. Then, they turned and walked towards Xixuan City.

As Lin Feng and Xu Tian arrived, Eunuch Hong entered the Emperor's study with steady steps, knelt respectfully, and said in a low and respectful voice, "Your Majesty, I have handed over the 'Xuanling Secret Book' to Lin Feng as you instructed."

The Emperor sat on the majestic Dragon Throne behind his desk, clad in a magnificent dragon robe. His expression was dignified yet pensive, his eyes gleaming with wisdom and sharpness. The Emperor raised his head slightly and asked in a calm yet authoritative tone, "Oh? How did he react? Was there anything unusual?"

Eunuch Hong lowered his head, carefully recalling the scene, choosing his words carefully before speaking slowly, "My Lord, when General Lin received the 'Xuanling Secret Book,' he seemed to have a hint of doubt on his face. However, judging by his words and actions, he showed no suspicion of this old servant, nor did he express excessive surprise or any other unusual emotions regarding the book itself."

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking deeply about something. After a while, he asked again, "Do you think Lin Feng can really comprehend the 'Xuanling Secret Book'? This is not something that ordinary people can do."

Eunuch Hong hesitated for a moment, a cautious look on his face, before he replied carefully, "My Lord, although General Lin possesses exceptional talent and has the assistance of people from Taixu Valley, judging by the current situation, there's a possibility he might be able to comprehend it. However, there are many variables involved, and further observation is needed."
