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

Chapter 37: Jiang Yong's Reminder

Inside Soft Wind Mountain.

In a valley somewhere.

In the middle of this valley, there is a giant tree over ten zhang tall.

At this moment, three Half-Treant Anomalies slowly walked up to the tree.

In the next moment, the three Half-Treant Anomalies knelt down on the ground.

From their mouths, they were chanting some unknown incantations.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, ten branches suddenly extended from the tree.

These branches quickly flew towards the Half-Treant Anomalies.

In just an instant, the branches pierced into the bodies of the Half-Treant Anomalies.

Countless fresh blood flowed from the branches, continuously flowing towards the tree of the Anomaly.

After a dozen breaths, the tree of the Anomaly released the three Half-Treant Anomalies.

The three Half-Treant Anomalies slowly stood up and walked towards the outer mountains.

Below Soft Wind Mountain.

Qin Feng was practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber on an open space.

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Basic Accomplishment: 100/500, Saber Qi in its early stage, every strike breaks the soul.]

"Weird, why isn't the proficiency increasing?"

Qin Feng looked at his attribute panel with a puzzled expression.

Today, he had been practicing on this open space for two hours straight.

But the proficiency remained stuck at one hundred.

There was no growth at all.

"Could it be that the first move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber can only be practiced to this level?"

"To continue practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber, do I need to obtain the remaining techniques?"

Qin Feng quickly thought of the key point.

Inside the Hundred Blades Martial Hall, he had only learned the first move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

If he wanted to cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to Great Accomplishment, he had to go to the Hundred Blades Sect to practice the second move.

If he directly went to the Hundred Blades Sect to obtain the manual, it would definitely expose that he had already cultivated the Saber Law to Basic Accomplishment.

It would surely cause unnecessary trouble.

"After I go back, I'll spend a few days in the Hundred Blades Sect and see if there's a chance to obtain the manual for the rest of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Qin Feng put away his long saber and slowly walked down.

After Qin Feng entered the camp, the miscellaneous workers who were gathering herbs also returned to the camp one by one.

"Old Zhang was killed by the Dryad Anomaly!"

"If it weren't for my good luck, I would have been killed too!"

"Why are there so many Anomalies on Soft Wind Mountain?"

"Ah, I'm so unlucky. I only managed to gather three medicinal herbs!"

"..."

The faces of many herb gatherers were very gloomy.

Now, when they gather herbs, they not only have to face sudden appearances of poisonous snakes and insects, but also Anomalies.

They still had a way to escape from the Caged Lantern Anomaly and some ordinary Anomalies.

But when facing the Half-Treant Anomalies, they were not so lucky.

Listening to the discussions of the workers, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

If it weren't for his good luck in obtaining the attribute system, he would probably be as frightened as these workers.

When Qin Feng entered the warehouse, he heard explosive news.

Twenty-three workers who went up the mountain today did not come down from Soft Wind Mountain.

"Twenty-three people?"

Shock filled Qin Feng's eyes.

Even in the past, when Liu Cheng took the lives of thirty workers in one herb gathering trip, at most four or five people would die on Soft Wind Mountain.

But today, out of the workers who went to Soft Wind Mountain, twenty-three did not come back?

There would be two more days to come.

Doesn't that mean that more than eighty workers would die on Soft Wind Mountain?

"Liu Supervisor, what if those workers refuse to go up the mountain?" Jiang Yong's face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, chaos is everywhere now, and there are hundreds of workers with just a wave of my hand!"

"To survive, they will naturally go up Soft Wind Mountain to gather herbs!"

Liu Cheng seemed completely unconcerned.

He didn't even care about the lives of those workers.

Early the next day.

Many workers gathered in front of the warehouse, clamoring and seeming unwilling to go up Soft Wind Mountain again.

"Liu Supervisor, Soft Wind Mountain is just too terrifying!"

"There are too many anomalies inside."

"If we go up again, we will definitely lose our lives."

"..."

Jiang Yong escorted Liu Cheng out from inside.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Liu Cheng said loudly.

Seeing Liu Cheng come out, the many servants closed their mouths.

Only then did Liu Cheng announce loudly, "Everyone, rest assured, yesterday was just an accident!"

"Today, Eternal Peace Medicine Manor will send experts to clean up the anomalies in Soft Wind Mountain!"

"When you go up the mountain to collect herbs, you only need to collect twenty plants per day!"

"And after coming down the mountain, you will receive a reward of ten coins!"

Upon hearing this, the many servants became excited.

"Ten coins just for coming down the mountain, that's great!"

"I can collect twenty herbs in just one morning!"

"With the experts from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor cleaning up the anomalies, there shouldn't be many anomalies in Soft Wind Mountain!"

"There shouldn't be much danger this time we go down the mountain!"

"Liu Manager, are you serious about what you said?"

"..."

Liu Cheng smiled and then said, "When have my words not counted?"

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain to collect herbs!"

"Collecting herbs for two days can buy a plate of sesame oil!"

"..."

The many servants carried bamboo baskets and headed towards Soft Wind Mountain.

The three Half-Treant Anomalies also mixed in with the servants.

Seeing the servants entering Soft Wind Mountain, Liu Cheng had a smile on his face.

"Liu Manager, when will you invite the experts from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor?"

Jiang Yong asked as he approached.

"Hehe, if these servants die, they die. Why bother inviting the experts from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor?"

"Just send a few guards to patrol!"

Liu Cheng said with a smile.

"Understood!"

Jiang Yong was first stunned, then he ordered a few guards to go patrol Soft Wind Mountain.

Qin Feng was once again chosen by Jiang Yong.

This time, Qin Feng did not cultivate or go to patrol Soft Wind Mountain.

Instead, he sat at the foot of Soft Wind Mountain and rested with the guards.

After all, this was Soft Wind Mountain, and Qin Feng couldn't cultivate the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique inside Soft Wind Mountain.

Moreover, the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber had reached a bottleneck.

No matter how much he cultivated, he couldn't make any progress.

"Qin brother, why are you patrolling again today?"

Hong Yun came to Qin Feng with a smile.

"Maybe they need more people for the patrol."

Qin Feng replied.

"Qin brother, you have offended Captain Jiang!"

"You've stepped on Captain Jiang's toes!"

Hong Yun patted Qin Feng's shoulder.

"Offended Captain Jiang?"

"When did I offend Captain Jiang?"

Qin Feng pretended to be puzzled.

In fact, Qin Feng was very clear in his heart.

It was about the escorting job.

Jiang Yong had always wanted Qin Feng to help Liu Xunwen with the escorting job.

Qin Feng went once and never went again.

Jiang Yong had invited him several times, but Qin Feng always declined.

If it was a normal escorting job, Qin Feng would naturally go.

But this was not an escorting job at all, it was delivering blood food to Liu Xunwen.

"Qin brother, let me explain."

Hong Yun slowly explained the escorting job.

At the same time, he told Qin Feng that as long as Qin Feng did the escorting job once, he wouldn't have to patrol Soft Wind Mountain anymore.

"Hehe!"

Helping Jiang Yong with the escorting job once meant becoming Liu Xunwen's blood food.

Naturally, he wouldn't have to patrol Soft Wind Mountain anymore.
