When Ling Baoguo heard this, he nodded and said, "Then please wait a moment, I’ll let my wife find her!"

"Alright, thank you!"

Ling Feng smiled, watching him get up and go to the next room.

This house is not big; you can see it’s a kitchen, a clinic, and a bedroom.

From the moment he entered, Ling Feng hadn’t seen Ling Baoguo’s wife, now finally realizing she was in the adjacent room.

Because it’s a parallel universe, Ling Baoguo’s birth was delayed for decades. He didn’t know if this woman was his great-grandmother, since the course of history had already changed, and anything could happen.

If everything stayed the same, it wouldn’t be a parallel universe.

After a moment, footsteps were heard from the outer room, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Then Ling Baoguo returned to this room, without the gold bar in hand, clearly having given it to his wife.

Sitting down, Ling Baoguo looked at Ling Feng and Sato Saori: "What is your purpose for coming here?"

"Firstly, we mean no harm. As for our reason for coming, it’s merely a coincidence."

Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "This concept might be difficult to explain to you. It’s called a parallel universe."

Ling Baoguo indeed found it confusing, looking at him blankly, "I don’t understand."

"It means two worlds that were exactly the same hundreds of years ago, but something happened, causing one world to split into two, with people in each world experiencing different events, leading to various changes."

Sato Saori attempted to explain to Ling Baoguo using her understanding.

He eventually understood partially, then asked in amazement, "From what you imply, being able to discover our parallel universe means you’re much more advanced than us?"

"That’s true."

Sato Saori nodded, then asked, "Are there any strong individuals in your world?"

"What do you mean by strong individuals?" Ling Baoguo asked.

"I mean individuals with exceptionally strong personal power, very capable in combat," Sato Saori explained.

"Yes, indeed!"

Ling Baoguo nodded, continuing, "The most powerful person in our dynasty is said to be able to fly!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng and Sato Saori exchanged glances upon hearing this, and quickly asked, "Are there many such people?"

"Many, but you won’t see them in our rural area. It’s said they appear at provincial or higher levels, and generally, only soldiers of Sixth Rank or below are stationed in county towns," Ling Baoguo said.

"Is your strength categorized by level here?"

Ling Feng quickly asked upon hearing this.

Ling Baoguo nodded, "Yes, in our place, strength is divided into nine ranks, and only those above the Third Rank can enlist in the army."

Ling Feng roughly understood, so he continued to ask some questions, gradually forming a picture in his mind.

This parallel universe had indeed undergone significant changes based on Ling Baoguo’s description. It seemed to have turned into a Cultivation World, where people’s focus was on enhancing their cultivation levels, with little attention to science and technology, thus resulting in its current state.

A while later, Ling Baoguo’s wife returned from outside, prompting him to immediately go to the adjacent room.

It seemed that women here were not supposed to meet outsiders casually.

Shortly afterward, Ling Baoguo returned from the next room, handing Ling Feng two thread-bound books: "These are our historical texts. If you’re interested, you can take a look."

"Alright."

Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "By the way, is there any available house in the village? I want to find a place to stay first."

"Well..."

Ling Baoguo pondered for a moment, then said, "I know the old Li Family’s house is vacant, but their people aren’t around, so I don’t know if they’d agree to rent it to you."

"They should agree, since I’ll pay!"

Ling Feng smiled, then said, "How about this, I’ll give you some money as rent first. If they refuse, I’ll compensate them further later, won’t I?"

"That would work. With enough money, the Li Family should be satisfied." Ling Baoguo nodded.

Ling Feng took a gold bar as thick as a finger and handed it to him, then he and Sato Saori stood up, following Ling Baoguo outside.

The Li Family’s house wasn’t far, located in the eastern part of the village. According to the layout of Ling Feng’s world, this house would later become Li Yumei’s home.

However, the house was still very old, maintaining its former appearance.

In the development of the other world, this house changed hands later, then was rebuilt, eventually becoming Li Yumei’s home.

But these things no longer mattered; the main thing was to find a place to settle, and then gradually study the landscape of this world.

The house was shabby, with a somewhat messy environment, but Ling Feng didn’t mind. After thanking Ling Baoguo, he and Sato Saori entered the house.

The lighting was also dim, accompanied by a damp and musty smell, likely due to being uninhabited for a long time.

Sato Saori quickly opened the windows for ventilation, then said to Ling Feng, "You sit first, I’ll clean up a bit."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Feng nodded, sat down, and opened a book.

The words on it were in traditional characters, but did not hinder reading, so he immediately started reading carefully.

After tidying up the house, Sato Saori saw Ling Feng engrossed in reading and said, "You continue reading, I’ll go out for a stroll."

"Okay."

Ling Feng didn’t mind, after all, this was a small mountain village, unlikely to have dangerous elements, plus her strength was sufficient, requiring no worry about danger.

Once Sato Saori had left, Ling Feng sat by the bedside, focusing on those books. With his enhanced brain, he read quickly, memorizing everything.

According to the book’s records, three hundred years ago, a small meteor struck Earth, causing a global pandemic. Since then, human physiology changed, embarking on a path of cultivation civilization.

A single event altered the development direction of civilization; it was as simple as that.

These books were children’s textbooks, their content not comprehensive, but with Ling Feng’s understanding and today’s observations, he knew that currently, the Li Dynasty’s civilization level likely remained in the agrarian era.

As for why he was able to see Ling Baoguo, it was mainly because after humans in this world entered the cultivation era, their lifespan significantly increased, with the average surpassing one hundred years, and some even living to one hundred and fifty!

With lifespan prolonged, the rate of offspring proliferation slowed, and that’s the reason.
