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

Chapter 61: Cultivation Technique, Black Wind Stronghold on Fire

"This cultivation technique might be a cultivation technique!" Qin Feng speculated in his heart.

This Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique must be a cultivation technique.

Liu Cheng is able to use that black sphere.

It must be because of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

"I didn't expect Liu Cheng to be an immortal!" Qin Feng was filled with joy.

If it weren't for Chen Sandao's help in trapping Liu Cheng with an iron cage, Qin Feng wouldn't have been able to kill Liu Cheng.

"Liu Cheng hiding in the miscellaneous yard as a steward is probably for the purpose of cultivating the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly!"

After saying this, Qin Feng carefully put away the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

He planned to return to the guard yard and cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

He possessed the Teacherless Master and Heaven Rewards the Diligent attributes.

It shouldn't be too difficult to cultivate this Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

Finally, Qin Feng looked at the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly.

He didn't know what material Liu Cheng's jade box was made of.

He put the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly into the jade box.

Surprisingly, he couldn't smell any medicinal fragrance.

Carefully putting away the jade box, Qin Feng took out the last notebook.

On this notebook were densely written names.

And above each name, there was a red cross.

Among these names, Qin Feng recognized many of them.

They were all miscellaneous workers from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

But in the end, they all died mysteriously at the hands of the Anomaly.

"Could it be that these miscellaneous workers were all killed by Liu Cheng?"

"And then their blood was sucked?"

Qin Feng quickly came to a guess.

The deaths of these people were definitely related to Liu Cheng.

Otherwise, Liu Cheng wouldn't have recorded so many names.

"My name is actually on it!"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with shock.

Because at the back of the notebook, he saw his own name.

There was also a huge cross on it!

But this red cross had already faded a lot.

"Could it be that my predecessor was killed by Liu Cheng!"

Qin Feng fell into contemplation.

A few months ago, Qin Feng's predecessor died in the room.

It was also at that time that Qin Feng transmigrated.

Originally, Qin Feng thought that his predecessor was killed by the Anomaly.

But after reading this diary, Qin Feng understood that his predecessor must have been killed by Liu Cheng.

And when Qin Feng just saw Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng seemed very shocked.

Qin Feng found a brazier and threw the notebook into it.

Watching the notebook turn into ashes, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain Qin's death statistics for today are out!"

Xiao Ma hurriedly ran over, holding a list in his hand.

"Thirteen!"

Looking at the list, Qin Feng fell silent again.

Fortunately, he became the captain of the herb-picking team.

If he had been picking herbs in the miscellaneous team all along, even if he wouldn't have been killed by the Anomaly of Qin Feng Mountain.

He would have been killed by Anomalies like Liu Jin.

"Liu Cheng, the steward, has gone out for a few days. Accompany me on a patrol when we return!"

"After we return, I will promote you to vice captain!"

Qin Feng patted Xiao Ma's shoulder.

"Thank you, Captain Qin!"

"I swear to follow Captain Qin to the death!"

Xiao Ma's face was filled with joy when he heard this.

After becoming the vice captain, not only would his salary increase significantly.

He wouldn't have to do those patrol tasks in the future.

He wouldn't have to rush to the front when encountering Anomalies.

Early on the third day, Qin Feng led the herb-picking team towards Eternal Peace County.

Although Liu Cheng hadn't returned, it made many miscellaneous workers very confused.

But Qin Feng and Xiao Ma were suppressing them.

There were no unexpected incidents.

"Isn't that Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Why is it on fire?"

"Could someone have destroyed Black Wind Stronghold?"

"That's impossible. Chen, the master of Black Wind Stronghold, is a strong Blood Refining Realm Seventh Grade. Who could kill him?"

"... "

When they arrived below Black Wind Stronghold, the numerous servants saw the raging fire inside.

They all pointed and discussed curiously about Black Wind Stronghold.

"It's strange. Who could have set the fire?"

Qin Feng's eyes were full of doubt.

When he left Black Wind Stronghold, he didn't set it on fire.

However, Qin Feng didn't dwell on it too much.

Instead, he led the team towards Eternal Peace County.

Apart from the fire at Black Wind Stronghold, they didn't encounter any other accidents along the way.

The group quickly arrived at the guard's courtyard.

"Captain Qin, please wait!"

As soon as Qin Feng entered, he was stopped by Manager Huang.

"Greetings, Manager Huang!"

Qin Feng bowed to Manager Huang.

"Captain Qin, have you seen Manager Liu Cheng?"

Manager Huang asked.

"Reporting to Manager, I haven't seen Manager Liu Cheng!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"When did Manager Liu Cheng leave the Soft Wind Mountain camp?"

Manager Huang asked again.

"Manager Liu Cheng left early on the second day!"

"Until we returned, he didn't appear again!"

Qin Feng truthfully told Manager Huang.

"Alright, you can go rest first!"

Manager Huang's brow furrowed slightly.

In the time that Eternal Peace Medicine Manor had been established, this was the first time a manager had run away.

"Go report to the Manor Lord!"

"Let the Manor Lord decide!"

After Manager Huang finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the Manor Lord's hall.

Inside the guard's courtyard, as soon as Qin Feng entered, Hu Qingya eagerly took the clothes from Qin Feng's hands.

"Husband, you rest first. I'll go cook for you!"

Hu Qingya poured a cup of tea for Qin Feng and then went into the kitchen.

Qin Feng also stood up and carefully placed the jade box, the black sphere, and the map into the hidden compartment under the bed.

After hiding these two treasures, Qin Feng took the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique and carefully examined it.

This Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique was an ordinary cultivation method found in the Azure Cloud Market.

As long as one had a Spirit Root, they could cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

Upon successful cultivation, a mysterious gas would be produced within the body.

With this mysterious gas, one could activate the mysterious black sphere.

"Spirit Root!"

"Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with shock.

Originally, Qin Feng had always thought that the world he transmigrated into was a world of anomalies and martial artists.

But he didn't expect that this world actually had immortals.

After reading it, Qin Feng sat on the chair and began cultivating.

This Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique was not difficult to cultivate.

Qin Feng had only practiced for a little over half an hour.

A new line appeared on his attribute panel.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 1/1000, drawing in qi, shedding mortal body]

"Drawing in qi, shedding mortal body!"

Looking at the words on the attribute panel, Qin Feng's face was filled with shock.

He never expected that this Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique was truly a cultivation manual for immortality.

And in the instant of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction, Qin Feng also discovered that his lifespan had increased by ten years.

[Lifespan: 159 years!]

His qi, blood, and strength had also increased.

Qin Feng also discovered that the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique was different from other cultivation methods.

Other cultivation techniques are introduced as Introduction, Basic Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, and then Perfected.

However, the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique has become Introduction, First Layer, Second Layer, all the way up to the Tenth Layer.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

At this moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who is it?"

Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

"It's me!"

Liu Jin's voice came from outside the door.

"Liu Jin?"

Qin Feng's face was full of confusion.

He couldn't understand why Liu Jin, this Pseudo-Corpse Anomaly, would come here.

Qin Feng carefully hid the books under the bed before getting up to open the door.

Outside the door, Liu Jin stood there with several guards.

"Greetings, Commander Liu!"

Qin Feng bowed his hand to Liu Jin.

"En!"

Liu Jin nodded slightly and then said, "I have something to ask you!"

"What would you like to ask, Commander Liu?"

Qin Feng asked.

"When did Liu Cheng leave?"

"What did he say to you?"

Liu Jin looked at Qin Feng.

"Commander Liu, Liu Cheng left secretly the next morning!"

"He only asked me to take care of things for two days!"

"But he hasn't returned for three consecutive days!"

"When I came back, I saw a big fire burning in Black Wind Stronghold!"

Qin Feng answered naturally.

He also mentioned the incident of the fire in Black Wind Stronghold.

"Black Wind Stronghold is on fire?"

Liu Jin's face suddenly changed.

Obviously, he cared a lot about Black Wind Stronghold.

"Yes!"

"Not only our guards, but also the servants noticed it!"

Qin Feng replied.

Liu Jin glanced at Qin Feng before hurriedly leaving with the guards.

Obviously, Liu Jin was very concerned about Black Wind Stronghold and Liu Cheng.

"I guess this Spirit Ginseng Anomaly also has something to do with Liu Cheng!"

Qin Feng looked at Liu Cheng, who was walking away, and then closed the door.

Qin Feng had already obtained the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly.

He couldn't possibly hand over the Spirit Ginseng Anomaly.

Even if Liu Jin went to Black Wind Stronghold, he wouldn't find anything.

After all, there was first the Caged Lantern Anomaly's destruction, and then a big fire.

A quiet night passed.

Qin Feng got up early.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 6/1000, Qi infusion into the body, shedding mortal body]

He looked at the proficiency of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique and frowned slightly.

He had been practicing the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique diligently all night.

But after practicing for a whole night, he only increased his proficiency by five points.

He knew that it would take at least two hundred days to cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique to the First Layer.

"Two hundred days!"

"It's nothing, just work hard!"

Qin Feng quickly decided to continue practicing the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

After all, this cultivation technique was an immortal cultivation technique.

Spending two hundred days to cultivate it to the First Layer was acceptable.

Moreover, the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique could be practiced even while lying in bed at night.

After Qin Feng came to the courtyard, he assumed a posture and began practicing the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique and the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

Not long after Qin Feng started practicing, he saw Liu Jin leading a large group of people heading towards Black Wind Stronghold.

Shortly after Liu Jin left, Huang, the steward, also led a large group of people to leave Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Without any pause, Qin Feng continued to practice the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

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

At night, he practiced the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

Compared to the slow progress of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique,

Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber was cultivated very quickly.

In just over ten days, Qin Feng had cultivated the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to a terrifying level.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 108/1000, Qi condensation, shedding mortal body]

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (125/6000), rejuvenation of withered tree, long lifespan, increased vitality]

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Great Accomplishment: 1202/1500, Saber Qi Great Accomplishment, increased vitality]

"Just a few more days of cultivation, and I will be able to perfect the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Qin Feng slowly put away his long saber.

He was planning to go to the Hundred Blades Martial Hall to see if there was a chance to comprehend the fourth move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

Front yard of the martial hall

Liang Xu looked at the apprentices practicing martial arts, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Weiwei looked curiously at Liang Xu.

"We seem to have fewer apprentices in our martial hall."

Liang Xu pointed to the apprentices in front and asked.

"Dad, maybe those people gave up halfway!"

Liang Weiwei looked at the sparse apprentices and furrowed her brow slightly.

There used to be a lot more apprentices in their martial hall.

But today, it was clearly much sparser.

"Weiwei, hasn't that apprentice come for a long time?"

Liang Xu pointed to Qin Feng among the apprentices and asked.

"Dad, he only comes once or twice a month!"

Liang Weiwei recognized Qin Feng at a glance.

After all, Qin Feng only practiced in the martial hall for a few days a month after paying the silver.

"This person won't achieve anything in martial arts!"

Liang Xu shook his head, turned around, and said to Liang Weiwei, "Weiwei, you must remember that martial arts must be practiced diligently every day in order to pursue the Martial Dao!"

"Don't be like this person, fishing for three days and drying the net for two!"

Liang Weiwei nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I have already remembered!"

"Weiwei, you have been watching for more than twenty days, have you comprehended anything from the Descending Tiger from the Mountain painting?"

Liang Xu turned around and asked.

"Dad, I haven't comprehended anything!"

Liang Weiwei lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

She had watched the Descending Tiger from the Mountain painting continuously for more than twenty days, but she hadn't comprehended anything.

In Liang Weiwei's heart, she even began to suspect that the painting was fake.

"Ah!"

Liang Xu just sighed and walked into the main hall.

Liang Weiwei quickly followed behind Liang Xu.

"Watching for more than twenty days and not comprehending anything?"

Qin Feng's face was full of strangeness.

That day, he had only watched for less than half an hour under the window and comprehended the third move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

How come Liang Weiwei had watched for more than twenty days and hadn't comprehended anything?

Qin Feng didn't dwell on it too much. He continued to practice among the apprentices while keeping an eye on Liang Xu's movements.

If Liang Xu left the main hall, he would sneak in and watch the Descending Tiger from the Mountain painting.

Then he would obtain the fourth move from it.

However, since Qin Feng arrived here, Liang Xu had been sitting in front of the main hall, depriving Qin Feng of the opportunity to watch the painting.

Soon, a day passed.

Qin Feng packed up his things and headed outside.

"Senior Hu, please wait!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came over.

Qin Feng turned around and saw that Chen Dongyu had already stopped Hu Yuanfu's path.

"Junior Chen, what's the matter?"

Hu Yuanfu looked at Chen Dongyu with a puzzled expression.

"Senior Hu, I have a shipment of goods at home that needs to be transported to Three Harmonies County."

"But I don't have enough manpower."

"Can Senior Hu help with the delivery?"

Chen Dongyu smiled and said.

"Transporting goods?"

Hu Yuanfu seemed reluctant to do it.

"Senior Hu, as long as the goods are safely delivered to Three Harmonies County, I will give you five taels of silver!"

Chen Dongyu held up five fingers.

"Alright, when do we transport the goods?"

As soon as Hu Yuanfu heard five taels of silver, he immediately agreed.
