Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 31: Martial Dao Ninth Grade

"Strange?"

Vice Manor Lord Wang Jiankang of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor looked at the giant ancient tree with a puzzled expression as he closed his eyes.

"What's the matter, Vice Manor Lord?"

One of his subordinates approached Wang Jiankang with a confused look on his face.

"According to calculations, the divine tree still needs at least three more years to awaken!"

"But this morning, the divine tree suddenly awakened!"

As Wang Jiankang spoke, he walked around the divine tree.

"Bring some fresh blood and pour it into the divine tree."

Wang Jiankang shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

The men began to unwrap the black packages, revealing black barrels inside.

The barrels were filled with blood.

Splash, splash!

The blood in the barrels was poured into the divine tree.

The divine tree greedily absorbed the blood from the barrels.

In less than half an hour, all the blood brought was completely absorbed by the divine tree.

However, the divine tree still showed no signs of movement.

Its closed eyes remained shut.

"What is going on?"

Wang Jiankang looked at the divine tree in front of him, lost in thought.

Eternal Peace County.

In front of Hundred Blades Martial Hall.

Qin Feng arrived here dressed in ordinary clothes.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Qin Feng knocked on the door of Hundred Blades Martial Hall.

"Who is it?"

Soon, the door of Hundred Blades Martial Hall opened, and a man with a long knife appeared at the entrance of the martial hall.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

The man with the long knife looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression.

"I want to learn martial arts."

Qin Feng spoke up.

"Learn martial arts?"

The man with the long knife looked Qin Feng up and down before saying, "Do you have money?"

"I have brought it!"

Qin Feng took out the money from his body as he spoke.

"Wait here, I'll inform them."

The man with the long knife took the money and ran inside.

At the same time.

Inside the courtyard of Hundred Blades Martial Hall, an old man was practicing his knife skills.

This old man was Liang Xu, the master of Hundred Blades Martial Hall.

A beautiful girl stood beside him, watching.

"Cough, cough, cough."

But halfway through his practice, Liang Xu suddenly started coughing violently.

Liang Xu quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

When he removed the handkerchief, it was already stained with blood.

"Dad, are you okay?"

The girl quickly ran to Liang Xu's side.

"It's nothing, Weiwei, just an old problem."

Liang Xu waved his hand slightly and then sat down on a chair, closing his eyes to nurture his spirit.

"Dad, I'll go to the inner mountain of Soft Wind Mountain to find the Ice Spirit Flower for you."

After Liang Weiwei finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

"Nonsense, the inner mountain of Soft Wind Mountain is dangerous, with countless anomalies!"

"Can you go there?"

Liang Xu snorted heavily.

"But Dad, what about your injury?"

Liang Weiwei's face was filled with worry.

"Don't worry, I still have a few more years to live."

Liang Xu seemed to not care about his injury at all.

"Master, Senior Sister, there's someone outside who wants to become a disciple."

At this moment, the strong man walked in from outside.

"Has he paid the fee?"

Liang Xu asked.

"He has already paid!"

The strong man quickly took out the money.

"Weiwei, bring him in."

Liang Xu said softly.

Liang Weiwei nodded and walked towards the outside.

At the entrance of the martial hall.

Qin Feng only waited for a while before seeing a beautiful young girl come out.

"Come with me!"

Liang Weiwei glanced at Qin Feng and led him inside.

Entering the Hundred Blades Martial Hall, Qin Feng found many martial arts apprentices practicing knife techniques in front of the hall.

These apprentices' knife techniques were all very unfamiliar.

It was clear that they hadn't been practicing for long.

A few minutes later, the two entered the inner courtyard.

Just as they entered the inner courtyard, Qin Feng saw an old man holding a long knife.

However, the old man's complexion was very pale.

It seemed like he had a serious illness.

"Dad, I've brought the person!"

Liang Weiwei spoke up.

"Mm."

Liang Xu nodded slightly, then looked Qin Feng up and down.

After a while, Liang Xu spoke, "Weiwei, return the money to him!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Weiwei quickly placed the money she had just collected into Qin Feng's hand.

"Master, what does this mean?"

Qin Feng looked at Liang Xu with a puzzled expression.

"You don't have Cultivation Talent!"

"Even if you practice for many years, you won't be able to enter Blood Refining!"

"Instead of wasting money, it's better to use this money to do some business!"

Liang Xu explained.

"No Cultivation Talent?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with a strange expression.

He also didn't know how Liang Xu could tell that he didn't have Cultivation Talent.

After all, Qin Feng had two golden attributes.

One was "Heaven Rewards the Diligent," which meant that as long as he worked hard, he would reap rewards.

The other was "Teacherless Master," which meant that as long as he diligently cultivated, he could easily learn any martial arts with any harsh conditions.

With these two golden attributes, Qin Feng believed that there would be no one in Eternal Peace County with higher talent than him.

"Master, I still want to learn martial arts!"

Qin Feng handed the money over again.

"Good, since you're willing to learn martial arts, then I'll accept you!"

Liang Xu didn't force it and had Liang Weiwei take Qin Feng's money.

"However, I must make it clear in advance that if you don't enter Blood Refining within half a year, you will automatically leave!"

Liang Xu said solemnly.

"Understood!"

Qin Feng clasped his fists towards Liang Xu.

"Good, from today onwards, you are a disciple of my Hundred Blades Martial Hall!"

"Starting this afternoon, you will practice knife techniques in my martial hall!"

"Weiwei, take him to Yuan Fu!"

Liang Xu waved his hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Senior Brother Hu Yuanfu!"

After Liang Weiwei finished speaking, she walked towards the outside.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng, wearing the disciple uniform of the Hundred Blades Martial Hall, stood together with many other disciples, listening to Senior Brother Hu Yuanfu explain cultivation.

"In Great Wei, there are many anomalies that can easily kill ordinary people!"

"To defeat anomalies, you must learn martial arts, strengthen your qi and blood, and then use the power of your qi and blood to kill anomalies!"

Hu Yuanfu explained slowly.

"Kill anomalies with qi and blood?"

Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.

Originally, he had no idea how to kill anomalies.

When he saw anomalies, he could only run away.

"Of course, in order to use qi and blood, you must enter the Blood Refining Realm!"

"Martial Dao is divided into nine grades!"

"The Ninth Grade is the lowest, and the First Grade is the highest!"

"From the Ninth Grade to the Seventh Grade, they are all in the Blood Refining Realm!"

"From the Sixth Grade to the Fourth Grade, they are all in the Bone Refining Realm!"

"From the Third Grade to the First Grade, they are in the Organ Refining Realm!"

"As for realms above the First Grade, they are not something you can touch!"

"As long as you learn the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Introduction, you can become a guard at the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor!"

"Once you cultivate to the Ninth Grade Blood Refining Realm, you can become the captain of the guard at the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, or even become a constable at the county yamen!"

Hu Yuanfu slowly explained the Ninth Grade of Martial Dao.

"Senior Brother, what grade are you currently at?"

A disciple asked with a smile.

"Ninth Grade!"

Hu Yuanfu said slowly.

"Senior Brother, if you cultivate to the Eighth Grade, what position can you hold?"

A Martial Dao disciple asked.
