Chapter 28: Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique Basic Accomplishment

These guards wanted to freeload off Liu Cheng's lavish food and drink.

But Liu Cheng wanted their lives.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Cheng led a group of medicine gatherers and guards towards Soft Wind Mountain.

Along the way, Qin Feng saw many men in plain clothes bending over and working in the fields.

However, most of the rice in the fields had withered.

"This year is another year of disaster!"

"I estimate that many commoners will sell themselves into slavery!"

Qin Feng sighed softly.

In this chaotic world of anomalies, the lives of the common people were like grass and weeds.

He himself had been sold into Eternal Peace Medicine Manor because his family had suffered from a disaster.

If it weren't for awakening his Goldfinger,

Qin Feng would probably still be a servant who could die at any moment.

The group's speed was very fast. In just half an hour, they arrived at the camp in Soft Wind Mountain.

Before the many gatherers could enter the camp, they were driven into Soft Wind Mountain by the guards.

"Today, three people are needed to patrol Soft Wind Mountain. Who among you is willing to go?"

Jiang Yong looked at the many gatherers.

"Captain Jiang, I'm willing to go!"

Qin Feng stood up directly.

Compared to consuming Liu Cheng's poisonous food and drink,

Qin Feng would rather go to Soft Wind Mountain to cultivate the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique.

Not long after Qin Feng agreed, two more people came out.

"Good, Qin Feng, Hong Yun, Ye Hongyu, the three of you will patrol Soft Wind Mountain. The rest of you can go eat and drink!"

Jiang Yong announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, the guards rushed towards the warehouse.

There, Liu Cheng had prepared food and drink for them, waiting for their arrival.

"I wonder why Liu Cheng would poison them."

Although Qin Feng was puzzled,

he wouldn't bother with such matters.

After all, behind Liu Cheng stood Guard Commander Liu Jin and the people from Black Wind Village.

Qin Feng, Ye Hongyu, Hong Yun, and the others entered Soft Wind Mountain together.

Ye Hongyu and Hong Yun found a place to rest directly.

Qin Feng found an empty space and began cultivating the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique.

Qin Feng had been practicing the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique for over a month,

so the cultivation process went very smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was gradually setting.

Qin Feng stopped practicing and looked at his attribute panel.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Introduction (465/500) - Revitalizes withered trees, prolongs life, increases vitality and blood]

"I've gained forty proficiency points. Tomorrow, I should be able to reach Basic Accomplishment!"

Qin Feng's face was filled with excitement.

He was looking forward to reaching Basic Accomplishment in the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique. How much would his strength increase?

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, then looked towards the north because he sensed an anomaly in that direction.

"A Skeletal Anomaly?"

Qin Feng's brow furrowed slightly.

This was the foot of Soft Wind Mountain. How could such an anomaly appear here?

While Qin Feng was still in a daze, a buzzing sound came closer.

Then, a skeleton carrying a stone axe slowly approached Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's face showed no panic, but he carefully took out a piece of dog bone.

He had read books about low-level anomalies.

He knew that after seeing this dog bone, the Skeletal Anomaly would no longer pursue him.

Sure enough, when Qin Feng threw the dog bone not far from the Skeletal Anomaly,

the Skeletal Anomaly stopped chasing Qin Feng and walked towards the dog bone.

"Leave quickly!"

Without any hesitation, Qin Feng hurriedly ran downhill.

In just a few minutes, Qin Feng appeared back in the camp in Soft Wind Mountain.

In the moment he appeared in the camp, Qin Feng also saw Ye Hongyu and Hong Yun.

Hong Yun didn't react much when he saw Qin Feng.

But in the moment Ye Hongyu saw Qin Feng, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Although this surprise disappeared very quickly, Qin Feng still caught it.

"Could it be that this Skeletal Anomaly was brought by Ye Hongyu?"

Qin Feng instantly suspected Ye Hongyu.

After all, this morning when they entered the mountain for patrol, Ye Hongyu also wanted to come along for patrol after Qin Feng suggested it.

The usual range of activity for the Skeletal Anomaly is around the waist of Soft Wind Mountain.

It wouldn't appear at the foot of the mountain.

This person's surname is Ye, could it be sent by the second young master of the Ye family?

Qin Feng quickly locked onto the second young master of the Ye family.

In the past few days, Scar had sent the second young master of the Ye family to deal with Qin Feng.

After figuring it out, Qin Feng didn't show any flaws, but instead greeted Ye Hongyu and Hong Yun with a smile before entering the warehouse.

"Damn!"

Seeing Qin Feng enter the warehouse, Ye Hongyu's face became very ugly.

Inside the warehouse.

Qin Feng entered the warehouse and sat down in a corner.

Just as he sat down, Qin Feng's expression changed slightly.

Because he saw Jiang Yong, Xiao Ma, and many guards all passed out drunk in the warehouse.

They were all reeking of alcohol.

There was even a guard with a lot of white hair on his head.

Wrinkles had also appeared on his face.

"This guard has lost at least ten years of his life!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"Tomorrow, find a way to get rid of Ye Hongyu!"

Qin Feng slowly pondered on how to get rid of Ye Hongyu.

Soon, Qin Feng saw the pot of pig blood at Jiang Yong's waist.

This pot of pig blood was specially made by Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

If he could get a drop of this pig blood on Ye Hongyu's body.

And then replace the pot of pig blood on Ye Hongyu with water.

Ye Hongyu would definitely be killed by the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Qin Feng wouldn't have to fight Ye Hongyu to the death.

Qin Feng carefully scanned the surroundings and found that many guards were all passed out on the ground.

Even Liu Cheng, the manager, had disappeared.

Qin Feng moved quickly and came to Jiang Yong's side.

Then he carefully poured a few drops of the special pig blood into a porcelain bottle.

Afterwards, Qin Feng found another pot and filled it with water.

"Ye Hongyu really likes to drink!"

"After Ye Hongyu drinks today, I'll replace the pig blood on his waist, and tomorrow morning I'll drop a few drops of the secret pig blood on the back of his clothes!"

Qin Feng silently took out a biscuit and sat in the corner.

Not long after, Ye Hongyu and Hong Yun walked in.

In their hands, they were carrying several pots of alcohol, obviously prepared to have a good drink in the warehouse.

"Ye ge, why do you look so bad today?"

While speaking, Hong Yun poured alcohol for Ye Hongyu.

"Don't mention it, I spent several taels of silver today!"

After Ye Hongyu finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Feng in the corner.

The two of them chatted and drank, and when they were enjoying themselves, Ye Hongyu even took off his equipment.

The pot of pig blood even rolled to the side.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he slowly approached behind Ye Hongyu, then carefully replaced the pot of pig blood with the one he brought.

Ye Hongyu was still drinking with Hong Yun and didn't notice Qin Feng's small action at all.

Early the next morning.

Qin Feng once again received the patrol mission.

Shortly after Qin Feng received the mission, Ye Hongyu and Hong Yun also received their missions together.

"Let's go, let's patrol the mountain waist today!"

Ye Hongyu directly spoke.

"Listening to Ye ge!"

Hong Yun nodded slightly after speaking.

The two completely ignored Qin Feng's meaning and walked directly towards the mountainside.

Qin Feng lightly flicked his hand, splattering red pig blood on Ye Hongyu's clothes.

Ye Hongyu continued walking without any reaction.

After more than ten minutes, Ye Hongyu, Qin Feng, and Hong Yun arrived at a clearing halfway up the mountain.

Hong Yun and Ye Hongyu sat directly on the ground to rest.

Qin Feng glanced at Ye Hongyu and walked towards the distance.

Ye Hongyu quickly stood up and followed behind Qin Feng.

"Ye Ge, where are you going?"

Hong Yun quickly stood up and asked.

"You rest here, I'll be right back!"

Ye Hongyu seemed unwilling for Hong Yun to follow.

Hong Yun could only sit on the ground and rest.

Ye Hongyu followed Qin Feng to a clearing.

He carefully observed Qin Feng who was practicing, then quickly took out a black bottle!

"Hmph!"

"Yesterday you were lucky and weren't killed by the Skeletal Anomaly!"

"Today, I don't believe you'll have such good luck!"

After saying this, Ye Hongyu carefully poured the powder on the ground.

After pouring the powder, Ye Hongyu glanced at Qin Feng again before quickly running towards the distance.

"So it was really Ye Hongyu yesterday!"

Qin Feng said as he approached the black powder.

This black powder was probably similar to the secret pig blood, able to attract Anomalies.

The difference was that the secret pig blood attracted Caged Lantern Anomalies.

While this black powder attracted Skeletal Anomalies.

"Follow Ye Hongyu first!"

"After confirming Ye Hongyu's death, then go down the mountain to practice!"

Qin Feng carefully felt his way towards the direction Ye Hongyu left.

After more than twenty minutes, Qin Feng saw Ye Hongyu in a clearing.

At this moment, Ye Hongyu was lying on a rock, drinking wine and humming a tune.

"The Caged Lantern Anomaly is here!"

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng looked at the north with a surprised expression.

He sensed the presence of a Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Sure enough, thirty seconds later, the sound of wuwuwu came from afar.

Then a red lantern floated over from the distance.

"Hmm?"

"Damn, how could there be a Caged Lantern Anomaly here?"

Seeing the approaching Caged Lantern Anomaly, Ye Hongyu's face changed drastically.

He quickly took the water bottle from his waist.

Then poured the water from the bottle onto the ground, while quickly retreating towards the distance.

But soon, Ye Hongyu's face changed again.

Because he found that the Caged Lantern Anomaly was not attracted, but was quickly flying towards him.

"Why is there water in here?"

"Where did my pig blood go?"

Only at this moment did Ye Hongyu realize that the pig blood in the water bottle seemed to have been switched.

"Ah!"

While Ye Hongyu was stunned, the Caged Lantern Anomaly caught up to him.

A red light enveloped Ye Hongyu's entire body.

In just over ten seconds, Ye Hongyu turned into a black skeleton.

The Caged Lantern Anomaly flickered for more than ten seconds before floating away.

Only after the Caged Lantern Anomaly disappeared did Qin Feng slowly approach Ye Hongyu.

On Ye Hongyu's body, Qin Feng found three or two silver coins, a bottle of black powder, and a copper wooden plaque.

"Black Water Cult, Bǐng Fifty-Nine!"

Qin Feng glanced at the copper plaque and then threw them into the nearby stream.

"This black powder should attract Skeletal Anomalies!"

Qin Feng glanced at the black bottle and carefully put it away.

In the future, if he encountered any enemies he couldn't defeat.

He could use this powder to attract Skeletal Anomalies.

"Let's find a place to continue practicing the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique!"

Qin Feng's figure moved, quickly rushing towards the foot of the mountain.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng arrived at an open space.

In front of this open space, he carefully began practicing the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique.

Once, twice.

The proficiency of the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique also quickly jumped.

466, 467.

482, 483.

498, 499.

With Qin Feng's practice, the proficiency on the data panel directly jumped to 500.

Boom!

A rumbling sound echoed in Qin Feng's mind.

At the same time, a powerful heat flow appeared on Qin Feng's body.

This heat flow was even more terrifying than the heat flow Qin Feng experienced when he perfected the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique.

The moment the heat flow appeared, it surged towards Qin Feng's limbs.

He instantly felt a direct increase in strength, spirit, agility, and even speed.

His body also produced a large amount of sweat.

This sweat was not ordinary white, but pitch black.

This pitch black sweat was the impurities that had accumulated in Qin Feng's body for many years.

Now, they were being expelled along with the sweat.

It lasted for half an hour before the heat flow gradually dissipated.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Basic Accomplishment (1/2000) - Withered tree meets spring, restraining anomalies, greatly increasing lifespan.]

"Greatly increasing lifespan!"

Qin Feng quickly looked at his attribute panel.

[Lifespan: 91 years.]

"Increased lifespan by twenty years!"

Excitement filled Qin Feng's face.

He didn't expect the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique to increase his lifespan by a full twenty years.

Moreover, his strength, speed, reaction, and spirit had all greatly improved.

"2000 proficiency!"

Looking at the proficiency panel, Qin Feng wasn't surprised.

After all, the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique was a technique that could increase lifespan.

"Thirty proficiency points per day, it will only take a little over seventy days to reach Great Accomplishment!"

Qin Feng silently calculated in his heart.
