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

Chapter 59: Spirit Ginseng Anomaly, Liu Cheng Might Be an Immortal

Early the next day, Liu Cheng left the warehouse. He first took out a black bead from a bunk in the servants' quarters. After leaving the quarters, Liu Cheng carefully looked around before riding his horse towards the distance.

"It should be that the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly is about to mature!" Qin Feng slowly walked out from not far away. He glanced at the servants who had turned into corpses, then activated his Wind Chasing Steps technique and quickly followed.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng followed Liu Cheng to the foot of Black Wind Mountain. Liu Cheng remained extremely vigilant throughout the journey. Every time he ran a distance, he would look back.

"Who goes there, halt!" Several bandits from Black Wind Stronghold blocked Liu Cheng's path.

Liu Cheng didn't say anything and directly threw a black token at them.

Upon seeing the black token, the Black Wind Stronghold bandits quickly opened the gate and respectfully welcomed Liu Cheng inside.

"Where is the leader?" Liu Cheng asked.

"The leader is waiting for you in the assembly hall!" one of the bandits answered.

"Lead the way!" Liu Cheng said.

"Yes, sir!" The bandit quickly led Liu Cheng towards the assembly hall.

Not long after Liu Cheng left, Qin Feng's figure slowly appeared in front of the gate of Black Wind Stronghold.

"Assembly hall!" Qin Feng's figure moved, transforming into a black shadow as he flew towards the interior of Black Wind Stronghold.

Those two bandits were just ordinary people without any martial arts skills. They couldn't possibly detect Qin Feng's Wind Chasing Steps technique.

Inside the assembly hall:

"Congratulations to the leader for successfully cultivating the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly!" A middle-aged man in a brocade robe clasped his hands towards Chen Sandao.

"Good, good!" Chen Sandao's face was filled with joy, but soon he fell silent.

"Leader, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man in the brocade robe looked at Chen Sandao with a puzzled expression.

"Ah!" Chen Sandao sighed and said, "There's only one Spirit Ginseng Anomaly. If I were to consume it alone, my power would undoubtedly greatly increase!"

"But now I have to split it in half with Liu Cheng!"

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe smiled and said, "Leader, it's simple if you don't want to share the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly with Liu Cheng!"

"Just kill Liu Cheng!"

"Kill Liu Cheng?" Chen Sandao's eyes suddenly lit up.

If he really killed Liu Cheng, then the entire Spirit Ginseng Anomaly would be his.

"But that black bead on Liu Cheng is extremely powerful!"

Although Chen Sandao also wanted to kill Liu Cheng, when he thought of the black bead in Liu Cheng's hand, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Big brother, Liu Cheng doesn't have much strength to begin with!"

"He struggles every time he activates the bead!"

"With Liu Cheng's abilities, he can only activate the bead twice at most!"

"After watering the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly, he will have to use it once!"

"As long as we dodge one attack, we can take down Liu Cheng!"

"This way, big brother not only obtains the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly, but also the mysterious black sphere and Liu Cheng's martial arts!"

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe analyzed.

Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the brocade robe, Chen Sandao's eyes immediately lit up.

He was a Blood Refining Seventh Grade Martial Artist.

He could definitely dodge one attack from the black sphere.

By then, he would be able to kill Liu Cheng and claim the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly for himself.

He would also be able to obtain the mysterious black sphere and the martial arts on Liu Cheng's body.

Moreover, those martial arts were likely the martial arts of an immortal.

"Report to the leader, Liu Cheng has arrived!"

At this moment, a bandit ran in from outside.

"Strategist, do as you suggested!" Chen Sandao signaled to the middle-aged man in the brocade robe with his eyes.

The middle-aged man in brocade quickly stepped back.

Not long after the middle-aged man in brocade stepped back, Liu Cheng was brought into the hall.

"Liu Xiong, you finally came!"

"Someone, quickly prepare the wine!"

Chen Sandao shouted loudly.

"Chen Village Master, there's no need for a banquet!"

"Let's go and see the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly first!"

Liu Cheng shook his head slightly.

"Alright, Liu Xiong, please follow me!"

Chen Sandao didn't insist and led Liu Cheng towards the backyard.

Liu Cheng followed behind Chen Sandao.

A few minutes later, Chen Sandao and Liu Cheng arrived in the backyard.

In the middle of the backyard, there was a huge pond.

Although it was a hot summer, standing at the edge of the pool, one could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Chen Sandao lightly clapped his hands three times.

"Splash!"

As Chen Sandao's applause fell, a loud splash sounded from the pond.

Then a red ginseng emerged from the water.

This ginseng was wrapped in red blood and emitted a crystal-clear light.

The overwhelming cold air emanated from this red ginseng.

"Great!"

"It's finally mature!"

Looking at the red ginseng below, Liu Cheng's face was filled with excitement.

After two and a half years of hard cultivation, this ginseng was about to mature.

He would soon be able to cultivate the supreme technique.

"Liu Xiong, only one more blood offering is needed!"

"Please perform the spell, Liu Xiong!"

Chen Sandao said with a smile.

"Alright!"

"Please step back, Chen Village Master!"

Liu Cheng nodded slightly.

Chen Sandao stepped back dozens of steps until he left the pond before stopping.

Although Liu Cheng was very puzzled, he still took out a black ball.

After taking out the black ball, Liu Cheng quickly recited an incantation.

"Buzz, buzz!"

As Liu Cheng began to recite the incantation, the black ball slowly flew towards the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly.

"Splash!"

Just as the black ball flew above the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly, blood gushed out from the black ball.

After absorbing this blood, the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly became even more splendid.

When the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly completely absorbed the blood, a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from its body.

This medicinal fragrance was very peculiar. Just a slight whiff of it would make all fatigue disappear.

"Spirit Ginseng Anomaly!"

"Hahaha, I finally cultivated the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly!"

Liu Cheng looked at the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly in the pond, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Crack!"

At this moment, a cracking sound came.

Immediately after, a specially made cage fell from the sky.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the iron cage trapped Liu Cheng inside.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Liu Cheng trapped, Chen Sandao walked over with a smug expression, laughing loudly as he walked.

"Chen Village Master, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Cheng looked coldly at Chen Sandao.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Sandao laughed smugly twice before saying, "The Spirit Ginseng Anomaly is a special Spirit Medicine. Not only can it heal injuries and prolong life, but when consumed by a Martial Artist, it can easily break through!"

"If I can consume this Spirit Ginseng Anomaly, I will definitely become a Sixth Grade Bone Refining Realm powerhouse!"

Liu Cheng folded his arms and glanced at the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly in the pond before saying, "So Village Master Chen's intention is to monopolize the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly!"

"That's right!"

Chen Sandao nodded and said, "How could I possibly give such a precious item to you?"

"Hehehe!"

Liu Cheng sneered twice and then said, "Chen Village Master, do you really think you have me under your control?"

"Of course!"

Chen Sandao smiled and said, "This is a cage made of mysterious iron. Ordinary weapons can't break through it at all!"

"Boss, don't waste time talking to him. Let the archers shoot him!" the strategist reminded in a low voice.

"Archers!" Chen Sandao shouted loudly.

As Chen Sandao's voice fell, more than ten archers appeared behind him.

"Shoot him to death!" Chen Sandao gave the order.

"Whoosh, whoosh...!"

Following Chen Sandao's command, countless arrows flew towards Liu Cheng.

Looking at the incoming arrows, Liu Cheng's eyes showed no panic.

He still stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly not concerned about these arrows at all.

"Rise!"

Just as the arrows were about to reach Liu Cheng, he lightly tapped the black ball on his hand.

"Buzz!"

In the next instant, a black shield appeared in front of Liu Cheng.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The arrows shot at the shield made a series of clanging sounds before falling to the ground.

"Hahaha, how could mortal arrows harm me!" Liu Cheng's face was full of pride.

"How is this possible!"

"What kind of technique is this!"

Chen Sandao's expression became very ugly.

He never expected that Liu Cheng would be so powerful.

He could effortlessly summon such a strong shield.

At the same time, Qin Feng, who was hiding behind the stone wall, also looked at Liu Cheng in confusion.

Even though he had already cultivated Iron Shirt to Basic Accomplishment, he couldn't withstand so many arrows.

But what surprised Qin Feng the most was Liu Cheng's words.

"Mortal arrows?"

"Could it be that Liu Cheng...?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment.

In the Mythical world of Blue Star, the immortals referred to the mortal realm as the mortal world.

Could it be that Liu Cheng was also from the Immortal World?

Moreover, the black ball in Liu Cheng's hand was obviously not an ordinary item.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Chen Sandao shouted loudly.

The many archers once again shot their arrows.

However, these arrows had no effect at all. As soon as they touched the black energy shield, they all fell to the ground.

"Swish!"

Liu Cheng waved his hand lightly, and the arrows that had fallen to the ground flew back into his hand.

"Go!"

Liu Cheng waved his hand towards the distance.

The arrows flew towards Chen Sandao and the others.

"Not good!"

Chen Sandao's face changed drastically, and he quickly dodged to the side.

"Swish, swish!"

Although Chen Sandao managed to dodge, all the archers were killed by the flying arrows.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Cheng laughed triumphantly.

"Damn it."

Chen Sandao held his long sword and looked at Liu Cheng with a gloomy expression.

His eyes were full of hesitation.

He didn't know whether to attack Liu Cheng and seize the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly or to escape immediately.

If he escaped, he would have no chance of obtaining the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly.

If he didn't escape, he didn't have much confidence in killing Liu Cheng.

"Master Chen, if you have any means, use them!" Liu Cheng looked at Chen Sandao with a self-assured expression.

"Watch my Concealed Weapon!"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Sandao picked up a Concealed Weapon and threw it at Liu Cheng.

However, as soon as these Concealed Weapons touched Liu Cheng's black shield, they fell to the ground.

"Hahaha," Liu Cheng laughed triumphantly.

"Damn it!"

Chen Sandao once again threw out many Concealed Weapons in succession.

However, these Concealed Weapons were completely ineffective.

They were all blocked by Liu Cheng's shield.

Even Chen Sandao used Liu Cheng's Concealed Weapons to attack Chen Sandao several times.

"Chen Clan Leader, it's my turn now!"

Liu Cheng quickly began chanting an incantation.

The black sphere emitted a dazzling black light and quickly flew towards Chen Sandao.

Seeing the black sphere flying towards him, Chen Sandao's face changed drastically.

He wanted to escape from here, but quickly realized that his feet couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the black sphere got closer and closer.

"Big brother, be careful!"

The strategist quickly rushed out from the side.

He hurriedly stood in front of Chen Sandao.

"Thud!"

Only a light sound was heard as the black sphere entered the strategist's body.

"Big brother, run!"

The strategist slowly fell down.

"Strategist!"

Chen Sandao glanced at the fallen strategist, then looked at Liu Cheng who was chanting the incantation and the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly in the pond.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he quickly ran towards the distance.

He couldn't break through Liu Cheng's defense at all.

Staying here would definitely result in being killed by Liu Cheng.

At the same time, Qin Feng also prepared to silently leave this place.

Liu Cheng's methods were truly Anomaly.

Qin Feng didn't have much confidence in defeating Liu Cheng.

"Hoo, hoo"

At this moment, Liu Cheng suddenly sat down on the ground, gasping heavily.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong with Liu Cheng?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Why was his complexion so pale?

He hadn't come out of the Black Iron Cage for so long?

He didn't even chase after Chen Sandao who had escaped?

Qin Feng looked at Liu Cheng inside the cage, lost in thought.

Soon, Qin Feng decided to take advantage of Liu Cheng's weakness and make a desperate move.

After all, there was a Spirit Ginseng Anomaly there.

Moreover, Liu Cheng seemed to have some secrets on him.

That black sphere of his was obviously not ordinary.

What's more important was that Liu Cheng had let his guard down.

Even that mysterious shield had been removed.

If he were to ambush Liu Cheng at this moment, he would definitely succeed.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took the longbow off his back.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Soon, three sharp arrows flew towards Liu Cheng.

The speed of the arrows was extremely fast. Just as Liu Cheng noticed, the three arrows were already in front of him.

Liu Cheng's face changed drastically, and he quickly dodged.

Although Liu Cheng's speed was fast, the speed of the arrows was even faster.

He only managed to dodge one arrow aimed at his throat, but he couldn't dodge the arrows aimed at his right hand and right leg.

"Ah!"

Liu Cheng let out a scream, and blood flowed from his right hand and right leg.

"Chen Sandao!"

Liu Cheng's face became extremely ugly.

He never expected Chen Sandao to be so cunning.

Instead of retreating, he hid on the side and used the longbow to deal with him when he let his guard down.

If it weren't for his luck, dodging the fatal arrow, he would probably be lying on the ground by now.

"Chen Sandao, come out!"

Liu Cheng shouted loudly.

However, even after shouting several times, there was no response.

"Swish!"

At this moment, another arrow flew over.

Liu Cheng quickly chanted an incantation, and soon a black shield appeared in front of him.

"Clang!"

The arrow landed on the shield and fell directly to the ground.
