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

Chapter 80: Qi Condensation Technique, First Layer Breakthrough, Successful Use of Hidden Shadow Sphere

"Thank you!" Qin Feng arched his hand towards Lin Xue.

Lin Xue put away her long sword and looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression.

After a while, she spoke, "Wang Jiankang and the county magistrate will be here soon. You should leave quickly!"

Qin Feng nodded and quickly flew towards the distance.

Lin Xue glanced at Qin Feng and quickly disappeared from the scene.

Shortly after Qin Feng and Lin Xue left, two figures quickly flew over.

One of them was Wang Jiankang, the deputy head of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, and the other was Ma Yingjie, the county magistrate of Eternal Peace County.

Ma Yingjie's cold gaze swept around and then looked at the body of Ye Mingying on the ground.

"What happened? How did Ye Mingying die?" he asked.

Wang Jiankang replied, "Reporting to the Chief Protector, someone used the Half-Treant Anomaly to ambush Ye Mingying!"

Ma Yingjie looked at the body of Ye Mingying on the ground and said, "Go to Three Harmonies County and cultivate the treasure!"

"Yes, sir!" Wang Jiankang arched his hand and retreated.

Ma Yingjie slowly walked to the body of Ye Mingying.

He placed his hands on the body of Ye Mingying.

In the next moment, a splendid black light appeared on Ma Yingjie's hands.

Then, Ye Mingying's body turned into a withered corpse.

Ma Yingjie's face also showed a satisfied expression.

Early the next day, Qin Feng came to the courtyard to cultivate.

"First, cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique to the First Layer!"

"Then, fully cultivate the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique!"

Qin Feng quickly felt his own shortcomings.

Even if he killed Ye Mingying, he still needed the cooperation of Black Dog Blood and Lin Xue.

If it was the protector of the Black Water Cult or the mysterious treant, Qin Feng estimated that he would only be able to escape.

Now, if Qin Feng wanted to increase his strength, he had to quickly cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique successfully.

With the progress of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique, Qin Feng's reaction, strength, spirit, and perception also rapidly improved.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

On this day, in the evening, Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

As Qin Feng cultivated, faint blue streams of air flowed out between his ears and nose.

Every time these blue streams of air rotated, the proficiency of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique increased.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 999/1000, Qi enters the body, transcending the mortal body]

"Crackle!"

In the next moment, the proficiency reached one thousand.

Qin Feng was enveloped by the blue streams of air.

The blue streams of air directly poured into Qin Feng's body, circulating within his meridians.

Finally, these blue streams of air gathered in his dantian.

At this moment, Qin Feng opened his eyes.

"Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, finally reached the First Layer!"

Qin Feng couldn't hide his joy on his face.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, First Layer: 1/1500, Qi enters the body, transcending the mortal body]

With the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique entering the First Layer, Qin Feng felt a significant increase in his physical strength, power, perception, and spirit.

Moreover, Qin Feng sensed a flow of energy that did not belong to internal energy or blood.

Qin Feng tried to mobilize the internal energy and poured it into his fist.

"Boom!"

Qin Feng threw a punch, and a burst of fire appeared on his fist, instantly smashing the nearby table into pieces.

"Is this magic?"

"This magic can enhance my strength and speed by one level!"

"This is the magic I just cultivated!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of magic.

If Qin Feng encountered Ye Mingying again at this moment, he would definitely be able to easily kill him.

"After cultivating magic, I wonder if I can activate that mysterious black sphere!"

Qin Feng's mind suddenly became active.

If he could successfully activate that mysterious black sphere, Qin Feng's strength would further increase.

By then, even if he encountered Wang Jiankang, Qin Feng would be able to easily deal with him.

He wouldn't even need to fear the Chief Protector mentioned by Lin Xue.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took out the mysterious black sphere from the corner under the bed.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Qin Feng tried to mobilize the magic within his body and poured it into the black sphere.

With the influx of mana, the black sphere emitted bursts of green light.

"It's truly amazing. I didn't expect this black sphere to be so useful!"

Shortly after mana flowed into the black sphere, Qin Feng learned how to use it.

He also learned the function of the black sphere.

This black sphere is called the Hidden Shadow Sphere.

By infusing mana into the Hidden Shadow Sphere, a shield can be released.

This shield is extremely powerful, even a Bone Refining Fourth Grade expert would find it difficult to break through.

The Hidden Shadow Sphere also has impressive attack power.

It can easily kill a Seventh Grade Blood Refining Realm expert.

However, Qin Feng doesn't have much mana left.

He can only activate the Hidden Shadow Sphere five times at most.

After five times, he won't be able to activate the Hidden Shadow Sphere anymore.

Qin Feng's task is to continue cultivating the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique to strengthen his mana.

Then, Qin Feng looked at the attribute panel.

He found that his lifespan had increased by another ten years.

As Qin Feng continued to explore, the sky gradually brightened.

Qin Feng got up and returned to the courtyard, practicing the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique and the Eternal Peace Wind-chasing Steps.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (1445/6000) - The withered tree blooms in spring, with a long lifespan and greatly increased vitality.]

[Eternal Peace Wind-chasing Steps: Great Accomplishment (305/2500) - Light as a swallow, walking on the wind, the figure elusive.]

"Dang dang dang!"

Approaching noon, urgent gongs sounded within the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Qin Feng quickly stopped his cultivation and stood up.

"Something's not right!"

"There's a powerful anomaly in Three Harmonies County!"

"Three Harmonies County has suffered heavy casualties!"

"All the people in the western city have been killed!"

The shouts echoed within the medicine manor.

"A powerful anomaly appeared in Three Harmonies County?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Qin Feng's face.

Although Three Harmonies County didn't have the same strength as the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, there were still many experts in Three Harmonies County.

How could there be an anomaly wreaking havoc in Three Harmonies County?

Qin Feng grabbed his long knife and hurried towards the training ground.

At this moment, many guards were already standing there with weapons in hand.

However, their faces were filled with helplessness and worry.

The properties in Three Harmonies County were in trouble.

These guards would definitely be sent to Three Harmonies County.

But there was a powerful anomaly in Three Harmonies County.

If they encountered this powerful anomaly, there would be no chance of survival.

"Commander Qin has arrived!"

At this moment, a loud shout came.

Qin Feng arrived in front of the guards.

"Assemble!"

Qin Feng shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the guards lined up on the training ground.

"Captain Wu, what's the situation in Three Harmonies County?"

Qin Feng looked directly at Captain Wu below.

"Reporting to Commander Qin, a powerful anomaly has appeared in Three Harmonies County!"

Captain Wu slowly explained.

Upon hearing Captain Wu's words, Qin Feng finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that over a week ago, a powerful anomaly suddenly appeared in Three Harmonies County.

On the first day of its appearance, the anomaly wiped out the Li family in Three Harmonies County.

The head of the Li family also became a dried corpse.

In the following days, this powerful anomaly became even more ferocious, not only attacking the branch of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor but also devouring all the people in the western city of Three Harmonies County.

"The Manor Lord has arrived!"

At this moment, Manor Lord Liu Ruyan arrived with Li Ru.

"Pay respects to the Manor Lord!"

The guards saluted Liu Ruyan one after another.

"Commander Qin!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Feng.

"I'm here, Manor Lord!"

Qin Feng stepped forward and said,

"Take two teams of guards and go to Three Harmonies County to escort the pharmacists from my medicine manor back!"

Liu Ruyan commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Qin Feng bowed to Liu Ruyan and then went to the front of the guard team.

When the many guards saw Qin Feng approaching, they all looked away.

They didn't want to go to Three Harmonies County with Qin Feng.

After all, there was a very terrifying monster there.

Qin Feng glanced at the many guards, then looked at Captain Wu and Captain Fang.

"Captain Wu, Captain Fang, take your teams and go to Three Harmonies County with me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Wu and Captain Fang's faces were very unpleasant.

They didn't want to go to Three Harmonies County at all.

But Qin Feng had already called their names.

They had no choice but to go to Three Harmonies County with a stiff upper lip.

At the same time, they also hoped that this trip to Three Harmonies County would go smoothly.

They hoped to safely bring back the pharmacists from Three Harmonies County.

"Go back and prepare. Meet at the martial arts field in one hour!"

Qin Feng shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

The many guards walked away one after another.

Qin Feng also approached Liu Ruyan, who was not far away.

"General Qin, there are five pharmacists and more than ten apprentice pharmacists in Three Harmonies County!"

Liu Ruyan slowly introduced the situation in Three Harmonies County to Qin Feng.

There were more than ten shops in Eternal Peace Medicine Manor in Three Harmonies County.

There were five pharmacists in charge of the shops.

"The goal of General Qin this time is to bring back Pharmacist Sun and Pharmacist Wu!"

While speaking, Liu Ruyan had Li Ru hand over the information of the pharmacists to Qin Feng.

"I will follow your orders!"

Qin Feng bowed.

"Alright, you may go!"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand.

Qin Feng quickly retreated.

"Master, could this terrifying anomaly be caused by the Black Water Cult?"

Li Ru asked cautiously.

"Ah!"

Liu Ruyan sighed and did not speak.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng led the many guards towards Three Harmonies County.

Three Harmonies County was several hundred miles away from Eternal Peace County.

Even on horseback, it would take two days to get there.

"I wonder what kind of anomaly is in Three Harmonies County?"

"I just hope that the anomaly has already left!"

"Otherwise, we might not be able to bring back those pharmacists!"

"... "

The many guards were very nervous.

Each of them hoped that the powerful anomaly in Three Harmonies County had already left.

Qin Feng wasn't very nervous.

Because Qin Feng had the Hidden Shadow Sphere and had magical powers.

Even if he wasn't a match for that powerful anomaly, he could calmly retreat from Three Harmonies County.

"Alright!"

Just at that moment, Qin Feng suddenly sensed a familiar aura behind him.

"Lin Xue?"

Qin Feng instantly spotted Lin Xue's figure.

"Captain Wu, take the people ahead and wait for me!"

Qin Feng shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Wu led the many guards and ran ahead.

Not long after Captain Wu left, a masked woman appeared in front of Qin Feng.

"Lin!"

Qin Feng opened his mouth but didn't know how to address Lin Xue for a moment.

After all, Lin Xue was his fourth martial uncle.

"Take this water bottle with you!"

Lin Xue glanced at Qin Feng with complexity, then threw a water bottle at him.

After throwing the water bottle, Lin Xue quickly ran towards the distance.

"Is this bear blood?"

As soon as Qin Feng opened the water bottle, he smelled a strong bloody odor.

"Why did Lin Xue ask me to bring bear blood?"

Qin Feng's eyes were full of confusion.

"Could it be that the Anomaly in Three Harmonies County is afraid of bear blood?"

Qin Feng quickly thought of the Anomaly in Three Harmonies County.

Only the Anomaly in Three Harmonies County is afraid of bear blood.

That's why Lin Xue would give him bear blood.

Otherwise, Lin Xue wouldn't have run outside of Eternal Peace County to deliver bear blood to him.

After Qin Feng collected the bear blood, he quickly ran forward.

The speed of the group was very fast.

In just two days, they arrived in Three Harmonies County.

However, as soon as they arrived in Three Harmonies County, the faces of the many guards became serious.

Outside the shops in Three Harmonies County, there were dried-up corpses everywhere.

The doors of the shops were also all destroyed.

"What kind of Anomaly is this?"

"Why did the shops end up like this?"

"Where did Master Sun go?"

"... "

The faces of the many guards were very grim.

"Captain Wu, go and find out what kind of Anomaly it is."

"And where is Master Sun?"

"The rest of you, enter the shops and see if there are any clues!"

Qin Feng shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Wu and the many guards immediately ran forward.

Not long after, Captain Wu ran back.

"Commander Qin, I have found out!"

"Yesterday, the shops were attacked by a powerful Black Python Anomaly!"

"Master Sun and the others were all captured by that powerful Black Python Anomaly!"

Captain Wu quickly reported.

"Black Python Anomaly?"

Qin Feng instantly remembered the powerful Black Python Anomaly from the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

I wonder if the Black Python Anomaly in Three Harmonies County is the same as the one on the Three Harmonies River.

"Where is Master Sun?"

Qin Feng asked again.

"It seems like he is in a mansion to the east of the city!"

Captain Wu spoke up.

"Go to the Eastern Mansion!"

Qin Feng said softly.

"Yes, sir!"

After Captain Wu finished speaking, he immediately led many guards towards the Eastern Mansion.

Qin Feng quickly followed behind Captain Wu.

After more than ten minutes, Captain Wu and Qin Feng arrived in front of a mansion.

"Captain Qin, Master Sun and the others should be locked inside this mansion!"

Captain Wu pointed to the mansion in front and said.

"Okay!"

Qin Feng nodded, didn't say anything, but carefully surveyed the mansion in front.

There was a terrifying Anomaly aura permeating the surroundings of the mansion.

The mansion's gate was open.

More than ten dried-up corpses were lying at the entrance.

"Go and see if Master Sun and the others are there!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Captain Wu immediately led several guards into the mansion, carefully examining the dried-up corpses.

"Commander Qin, we didn't find Master Sun!"

"Master Sun should still be alive!"

...

After a while, Captain Wu ran over to report.

"Search the mansion!"

"See if Master Sun is inside the mansion!"

Qin Feng scanned the surroundings and then said.
