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

Chapter 71: Liang Xu Presents the Flowing Fire Saber, Lifespan Increases by Five Hundred Years

"Mmm!"

"Go and fetch me a pot of fresh fox blood!"

Qin Feng spoke up.

"Fresh fox blood?"

Xiao Ma looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression.

"The Half-Treant Anomaly really likes fox blood!"

"As long as it's smeared with fox blood!"

"In less than fifteen minutes, the Half-Treant Anomaly will come!"

Qin Feng explained slowly.

"Captain Qin, rest assured, I will get it for you as soon as I go back!"

Xiao Ma hurriedly left.

Qin Feng also returned to the warehouse.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Not long after dinner, the sound of drumming came over.

Qin Feng sat on the ground, preparing to rest.

"Hmm?"

"Why is there the aura of an Anomaly?"

At this moment, an Anomaly's aura came from outside the window.

Qin Feng quickly got up and looked outside carefully.

He saw a middle-aged man holding a long knife standing outside the camp.

"Isn't this Liu Yunchao, the head of the Liu family?"

Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man outside with a confused expression.

This person was Liu Yunchao, the head of the Liu family.

He was also Liu Xunwen's father.

"Could it be that he is also a Pseudo-Corpse Anomaly?"

"Why is he here?"

Qin Feng looked at Liu Yunchao outside with a vigilant expression, and at the same time, he had already put his hand on the hilt of his knife.

Fortunately, Liu Yunchao only glanced at the warehouse a few times before walking back into the darkness.

In the next two days, Qin Feng practiced his techniques while observing the Half-Treant Anomaly.

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Perfected: 305/3000, Saber Qi Perfected, each strike like a dragon, every cut breaks souls.]

"In three days, proficiency has increased by one hundred points!"

Looking at the rapidly growing proficiency, Qin Feng was in a very good mood.

As long as he practiced for a few more months, he would be able to cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to a terrifying level.

Now Qin Feng already had the iron token of the Black Water Cult.

And he also had the Azure Cloud grass.

He only needed to kill a Half-Treant Anomaly and take its heart, then he would be able to become the deputy leader of the guards.

"Captain Qin, the head of the Liu family has arrived!"

Xiao Ma hurriedly ran over to report.

"Let him in!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Soon, Liu Yunchao walked in with a smile.

"Captain Qin, nice to meet you!"

Liu Yunchao smiled and clasped his hands towards Qin Feng.

But his gaze fell on Qin Feng's right hand.

"Greetings, Head of the Liu family!"

Qin Feng also smiled and greeted him.

After exchanging greetings, Liu Yunchao went straight to the point and said, "Captain Qin, should we stick to the previous price for the medicinal materials?"

"Head Liu is straightforward!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Liu Yunchao also had someone hand a silver bag to Qin Feng.

"Give the medicinal materials in the backyard to the Head of the Liu family!"

Qin Feng waved his hand at Xiao Ma.

Xiao Ma quickly retreated.

"Head Liu, I remember that it was your son who was in charge before. Why did you come today?"

Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Ah!"

Liu Yunchao sighed and said, "My son has been missing for several days. I wonder if Captain Qin has seen him?"

"I have been inside Eternal Peace Medicine Manor all this time and haven't seen Young Master Liu!"

Qin Feng's face showed no change.

Liu Yunchao glanced at Qin Feng before leaving with his subordinates.

"Xiao Ma, instruct the servants to return to Eternal Peace County!"

Qin Feng spoke up.

"Understood!"

Xiao Ma quickly stepped back.

Not long after, under the leadership of Qin Feng and Xiao Ma, the many servants of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor marched towards Eternal Peace County.

"Captain Qin, there's a carriage following us from behind!"

Xiao Ma hurriedly ran over.

"Whose carriage is it?"

Qin Feng asked quietly.

"It's the Liu family's carriage."

Xiao Ma said softly.

"The Liu family!"

"Liu Yunchao!"

Qin Feng's brow slightly furrowed.

Could it be that Liu Yunchao found out that Qin Feng had killed Liu Xunwen?

This thought was quickly dismissed by Qin Feng.

Because every time Liu Xunwen invited Martial Artists, it was done secretly.

Last time Qin Feng left the city, he did so secretly without anyone noticing.

"Don't worry about them, keep going!"

Qin Feng gave the order.

"Yes!"

Xiao Ma quickly ran off.

After more than half an hour, the team of medicine gatherers safely returned to Eternal Peace County.

After giving thirty taels of silver to Huang, the steward, Qin Feng put the remaining silver into his pocket.

After all, Liu Jin had already died.

The remaining silver belonged to Qin Feng.

"Captain Qin, here's the fox blood you wanted!"

After more than an hour, Xiao Ma hurriedly ran up to Qin Feng.

He was holding a red bamboo tube in his hand.

"Xiao Ma, rest assured, wait for me to become the deputy commander!"

"You're the captain of the medicine gathering team!"

Qin Feng patted Xiao Ma's shoulder.

"Thank you, Captain Qin!"

Xiao Ma's face was filled with excitement.

"Captain Qin, do you need help dealing with the Half-Treant Anomaly?"

Xiao Ma quickly asked.

"No need, just wait for news!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Now Qin Feng's strength was already very high.

Dealing with this kind of Half-Treant Anomaly was no difficulty at all.

Having Xiao Ma around would only be a hindrance.

Hundred Blades Martial Hall.

Qin Feng entered the martial hall.

"Senior Qin."

"Good afternoon, Senior Qin."

The many apprentices greeted Qin Feng one after another.

Their eyes were filled with envy when they looked at Qin Feng.

Because Qin Feng not only married the daughter of the hall master, but also married a very beautiful girl.

Qin Feng just nodded slightly and walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Qin Feng saw Liang Weiwei practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

And Hu Qingya was sitting there sweeping the floor.

"Husband!"

Seeing Qin Feng walk in, Hu Qingya quickly stood up.

Qin Feng walked up to Hu Qingya and held her small hand.

"Husband, my father asked you to go find him!"

Liang Weiwei also came over and said.

"Alright, I'll go find him now!"

Qin Feng nodded and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Qin Feng saw Liang Xu sitting there, with a handkerchief beside him.

The handkerchief was covered in blood.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Qin Feng looked at Liang Xu with concern.

"It's nothing, just an old problem!"

Liang Xu waved his hand, seemingly not worried at all.

"Master, what do you need me for?"

Qin Feng quickly asked.

Liang Xu took a few breaths before saying, "Feng'er, I heard that your Eternal Peace Medicine Manor is selecting a deputy commander?"

"Not bad!"

"A while ago, Vice Commander Liu Jin suddenly died, so Eternal Peace Medicine Manor is preparing to select a new Vice Commander!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"Do you have confidence in becoming the Vice Commander of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor?"

Liang Xu asked, looking up.

"Master, your disciple is fully prepared!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"Weiwei, bring me the long knife in my room!"

Liang Xu shouted to Liang Weiwei outside.

Upon hearing Liang Xu's words, Liang Weiwei was taken aback.

That long knife was Liang Xu's most cherished possession.

Even she was not allowed to touch it normally.

But she didn't expect that today she would have to give this long knife to Qin Feng.

However, Liang Weiwei quickly ran out.

A few minutes later, Liang Weiwei placed a pitch-black long knife in front of Liang Xu.

Liang Xu caressed the long knife for a while before handing it to Qin Feng.

"Your Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber has reached Great Accomplishment!"

"You don't have a suitable weapon either, so I'll give you this Flowing Fire Knife!"

"Master?"

Qin Feng looked at Liang Xu in shock.

"I don't need it anymore!"

Liang Xu caressed the long knife once again before saying, "Take it, with the Flowing Fire Knife, it will be much easier for you to slay Anomalies!"

"And in the future, you will be able to protect Weiwei more easily!"

"With this long knife, you can also easily compete for the position of Vice Commander!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Qin Feng received the Flowing Fire Knife from Liang Xu.

As soon as he took the Flowing Fire Knife, Qin Feng felt its weight in his hand.

The knife he often used already weighed over thirty catties.

This Flowing Fire Knife weighed at least over one hundred catties.

"After the assessment is completed, wait for half a month before going to the Manor Lord's place!"

Liang Xu said.

Upon hearing Liang Xu's words, Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, but soon understood Liang Xu's meaning.

After all, Eternal Peace Medicine Manor had just released the mission.

And Qin Feng had already fulfilled all the conditions for the Vice Commander position.

It would definitely attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But in ten days or so, there wouldn't be as much trouble.

"After becoming the Vice Manor Lord of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, you can enter the Sutra Pavilion and choose a technique!"

"After entering the Sutra Pavilion, choose the Eternal Peace Footwork Technique!"

Liang Xu said again.

"Understood!"

Qin Feng cupped his hands.

Although Qin Feng didn't understand why Liang Xu wanted him to choose the Eternal Peace Footwork Technique, he still agreed.

"Alright, you can go down now!"

Liang Xu waved his hand.

"Disciple takes his leave!"

Qin Feng slowly retreated.

In the guard courtyard.

Inside the courtyard.

Qin Feng was carefully practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

At this moment, Qin Feng found that every time he used the Flowing Fire Knife to release Saber Qi, the intensity of the Saber Qi seemed to have increased by more than thirty percent.

And the Flowing Fire Knife was extremely sharp.

With just a light swing, he could easily cut down a big tree.

As he practiced the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber, his proficiency increased rapidly.

"Husband, dinner is ready, let's eat!"

Hu Qingya opened the door and shouted.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Qin Feng carefully put away the Flowing Fire Knife and walked into the room.

Nighttime.

Outside a vacant area of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Qin Feng came here with a bamboo tube in his hand.

"This place is very open, suitable for ambushing the Half-Treant Anomaly!"

Qin Feng sprinkled the fresh fox blood from the bamboo tube onto the ground as he spoke.

After completing all of this, Qin Feng took out the Flowing Fire Knife and hid behind a nearby stone wall.

"Wu wu wu."

Soon, the sound of wailing came from a distance.

Shortly after, a Half-Treant Anomaly ran out from the courtyard.

Except for its human-like feet, the Half-Treant Anomaly had turned into branches everywhere else.

The Half-Treant Anomaly was very fast, and in just over ten seconds, it reached the fox blood.

The Half-Treant Anomaly first looked around before lowering its head and drinking the blood.

"Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Qin Feng unsheathed the Flowing Fire Knife in his hand.

Over ten Saber Qi flew towards the Half-Treant Anomaly below.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

These Saber Qi were very fast and flew in front of the Half-Treant Anomaly in an instant.

The Half-Treant Anomaly had been drinking the fox blood all along.

It did not sense the impending danger.

"Crack, crack!"

Over ten Saber Qi all entered the body of the Half-Treant Anomaly.

The Half-Treant Anomaly was directly severed into over ten sections.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for increasing lifespan by three years!]

"Three years of lifespan!"

Qin Feng was in a very good mood.

With this Lifespan Absorption talent, as long as he killed enough Anomalies, he could live forever.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and approached the Half-Treant Anomaly.

Then, Qin Feng dug out the heart of the Half-Treant Anomaly.

"I wonder how much lifespan a regular Drum Maker Anomaly can increase!"

Qin Feng poured a pot of sesame oil on the ground as he spoke.

He was ready to see how much lifespan a regular Drum Maker Anomaly could increase.

If it increased significantly, he would ambush Drum Maker Anomalies on the streets every night.

Kill all these Drum Maker Anomalies and absorb their lifespan.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

A few minutes later, the sound of drums came from a distance.

Then, a monster with a rat head holding a big drum slowly walked over.

"Swish!"

Qin Feng unsheathed his long knife, and a blade of light flew towards the Drum Maker Anomaly.

"Thump!"

The big drum shattered directly, and the rat head fell to the ground.

"This Drum Maker Anomaly is really weak!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

When Qin Feng was still a servant, he was very afraid of Drum Maker Anomalies.

He had to live in fear every night.

But unexpectedly, Qin Feng was able to kill the Drum Maker Anomaly directly now.

"Six months of lifespan!"

Looking at the increased lifespan, Qin Feng's face was full of joy.

He did not expect that killing just one Drum Maker Anomaly could increase his lifespan by six months.

If he killed all the Drum Maker Anomalies in Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County, Qin Feng estimated that he could easily increase his lifespan by over a thousand years.

"Let's do it, I'll kill Drum Maker Anomalies tonight!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he took the sesame oil and quickly ran towards the distance.

The next morning, Qin Feng returned to the guard's courtyard with excitement on his face.

"270 years of lifespan!"

Looking at the increased lifespan of several decades, Qin Feng was very excited.

Last night, Qin Feng killed over a hundred Drum Maker Anomalies.

For the next ten days, Qin Feng diligently practiced the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique during the day.

At night, he searched for Drum Maker Anomalies and Dark Beggar Anomalies on the streets.

After more than ten days of hard work, all the Drum Maker Anomalies and Dark Beggar Anomalies in Eternal Peace County had been cleared by Qin Feng.

His lifespan had also reached 520 years.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 258/1000, absorbing qi into the body, transcending the mortal body]

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (365/6000), rejuvenating the withered tree, greatly increasing vitality]

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Perfected: 805/3000, Saber Qi Perfected, each strike severs the soul]

[Wind Chasing Footsteps, Great Accomplishment, 1020/1200, walking on the wind, light as a swallow, greatly increased speed!]

After this period of practice, except for the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, which did not increase his lifespan, the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique, Wind Chasing Footsteps, and Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber all made significant progress.

Qin Feng believed that it wouldn't be long before he could cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to a terrifying level.
