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

Chapter 85: Favorability Breaks 90, New Entry Appears

"Could the secret room be here?" Qin Feng said as he checked the western wall.

Soon, Qin Feng found a keyhole in the bottom left corner of the wall.

The size of this hole was not much different from what Qin Feng had obtained.

Qin Feng quickly inserted the key into the hole.

As Qin Feng turned the key, a hidden door slowly opened.

Through the hidden door, Qin Feng could see a huge secret room.

Qin Feng slowly walked into the secret room.

This secret room was very large, about the size of several football fields.

There was nothing else in this secret room.

Only huge water tanks.

And the water tanks were filled with fresh red blood.

"How could there be so much blood!"

Looking at the blood in the water tanks, Qin Feng's face was full of astonishment.

To fill these water tanks, it would take the blood of tens of thousands of people at least.

But soon Qin Feng remembered that when he was still a servant, Eternal Peace Medicine Manor had issued a notice.

One hundred wen for a bowl of blood!

Presumably, the blood of those servants ended up here.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The next morning, a series of urgent knocking sounds came from outside.

"Who is it?" Qin Feng asked.

"Commander Qin, something bad happened. All the night patrol guards are dead!" Xiao Ma's voice came through.

Qin Feng opened the door and saw Xiao Ma anxiously standing outside.

"How could the night patrol guards be dead?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'm not sure. The Lord asked you to go and take a look!" Xiao Ma shook his head slightly.

"Lead the way!" Qin Feng said.

"Yes!"

Xiao Ma quickly led Qin Feng towards Eternal Peace County.

"Wang Jiankang shouldn't have killed anyone from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor yesterday!"

"Could it be Ma Yingjie?" Qin Feng quickly thought of Ma Yingjie.

After all, Ma Yingjie had been outside the city yesterday.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng and Xiao Ma arrived outside Eternal Peace County.

A large number of guards had already gathered here.

"Ah, why have they all turned into dried corpses!"

"They must have been drained by an Anomaly!"

"I don't know what kind of Anomaly it is, but it's so powerful!"

"Poor Lao Hu!"

"For the sake of a few taels of silver, he sacrificed his own life!"

"..."

The guards were all whispering to each other.

"Commander Qin is here!"

At this moment, a loud shout came.

After hearing this, the guards made way for Qin Feng.

The situation ahead also came into Qin Feng's view.

There were more than a dozen withered corpses in front of him.

These corpses had lost all their blood color.

Their eyes were wide open, clearly showing the intense fear they experienced before death.

"Commander Qin, these people look very much like they were drained by the Black Python Anomaly!"

"It's probably the Black Python Anomaly from Three Harmonies County that came over!"

Captain Wu's eyes were filled with fear.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of the appearance of these people.

A few months ago, he had personally witnessed the appearance of people drained by the Black Python Anomaly in Three Harmonies County.

"Burn the bodies of these people!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Captain Wu was right, these people were all killed by the Black Python Anomaly.

However, it is not the Black Python Anomaly from Three Harmonies County.

Instead, it is Ma Yingjie from Eternal Peace County.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the guards quickly dragged the corpses away.

"Captain Wu, is there anything else you've discovered?"

Qin Feng looked at Captain Wu.

"General Qin, we also found a skeleton at the city gate!"

Captain Wu suddenly spoke up.

"Take me to see!"

Qin Feng quickly said.

"General Qin, please follow me!"

Captain Wu quickly led Qin Feng towards the city gate.

Shortly after, Captain Wu brought Qin Feng to a pitch-black skeleton.

"This!"

Looking at this pitch-black bone, Qin Feng's face slightly changed.

It was here yesterday that he killed Wang Jiankang.

But now, Wang Jiankang had turned into a pitch-black skeleton.

There was not a trace of flesh left on his body.

"This definitely wasn't the work of the Caged Lantern Anomaly and the Drum Maker Anomaly!"

Qin Feng had already made a judgment in his heart.

The Caged Lantern Anomaly and the Drum Maker Anomaly could never make someone look like this.

"County Magistrate Ma has arrived!"

Just as Qin Feng was contemplating, a loud shout came over.

Qin Feng looked up and saw a large group of yamen officials carrying a sedan chair coming not far away.

As the sedan chair was set down, a powerful Anomaly aura emanated from inside the sedan chair.

Then, Ma Yingjie walked out of the sedan chair with a smile on his face.

"Greetings, County Magistrate Ma!"

Qin Feng, Captain Wu, and the others all bowed to Ma Yingjie.

"No need to be polite!"

"Do you have any clues?"

Ma Yingjie smiled and looked at Qin Feng.

"Reporting to the County Magistrate,"

Qin Feng hadn't finished speaking when Captain Wu stepped forward and said, "Reporting to County Magistrate Ma, I have some clues!"

Looking at Captain Wu not far away, Qin Feng furrowed his brows slightly, but he didn't say much.

After all, Ma Yingjie was not just a county magistrate.

He was the Black Python Anomaly.

"Oh, what have you discovered?"

Ma Yingjie asked curiously.

"Reporting to County Magistrate Ma, the Anomaly that killed these people is the Black Python Anomaly from Three Harmonies County!"

Captain Wu said with a smile.

"Black Python Anomaly?"

Ma Yingjie's face slightly changed.

"I have seen the bodies killed by the Black Python Anomaly in Three Harmonies County before!"

"These bodies are exactly the same as those consumed by the Black Python Anomaly!"

Captain Wu became even more excited as he spoke.

Looking at Captain Wu's excitement, Qin Feng shook his head again.

Ma Yingjie was the Black Python Anomaly.

Captain Wu talking so much about the Black Python Anomaly, wasn't he seeking death?

"Good, very good!"

Ma Yingjie nodded and then said, "You and I will go to the yamen to discuss in detail!"

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ma!"

Captain Wu's face was filled with joy.

Shortly after, Ma Yingjie led Captain Wu towards the yamen.

"Captain Wu is going to make it big!"

"Being noticed by County Magistrate Ma, he might become a head catcher in the yamen!"

"Why didn't I realize it was the Black Python Anomaly?"

"From now on, we should call Captain Wu 'Head Catcher Wu'!"

"..."

The guards looked at Captain Wu who was leaving with envy on their faces.

"Dismissed!"

Only Qin Feng looked at Captain Wu with sympathy.

It probably wouldn't be long before he heard news of Captain Wu's death.

Just as Qin Feng returned to Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, he saw Li Ru waiting there.

"Qin Feng, this is Captain Wu's transfer order!"

Li Ru handed a document to Qin Feng.

"Transfer Captain Wu to the yamen as a constable!"

Looking at this conscription order, Qin Feng was not surprised.

After all, Captain Wu knew a lot about Ma Yingjie.

"For the selection of the captain's personnel, you arrange it!"

Li Ru said this and hurriedly left.

Qin Feng also took the conscription order and walked towards the command post.

Just as Qin Feng took a few steps, he suddenly saw Manager Huang driving more than a dozen carriages out from inside.

"Such a strong smell of blood!"

As the carriage approached, Qin Feng smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Could this be the blood from Wang Jiankang's secret room?"

Qin Feng instantly thought of the blood in Wang Jiankang's secret room.

But he never expected that it would be Manager Huang who took away this blood.

"Manager Huang, what are you doing?"

Qin Feng smiled and asked.

"Commander Qin, I am transporting some medicinal materials!"

Manager Huang replied and pointed to the carriages, walking towards the outside.

After the carriages left Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, they headed towards Soft Wind Mountain.

"I didn't expect Manager Huang to be a member of the Black Water Cult!"

Qin Feng had already made a judgment in his heart.

The blood being transported to Soft Wind Mountain must be for feeding the mysterious anomaly inside Soft Wind Mountain.

But he didn't know if Manager Huang had taken away the blood containing realgar.

After returning to the command post, Qin Feng began to cultivate the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique.

With the proficiency of the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique, Qin Feng found that his reaction speed was getting faster and faster.

He even had a special sense of the anomaly.

At night, Qin Feng returned to his bed to cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

This Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique was an Immortal Law.

Not only could it increase lifespan, but it could also increase mana.

If he could activate the Hidden Shadow Sphere a few more times, Qin Feng would have an easier time dealing with those powerful anomalies.

Hoo!

The mana in Qin Feng's dantian began to circulate.

Soon, more than four months had passed.

During these four months, Qin Feng had been diligently cultivating.

Under Qin Feng's diligent cultivation, his proficiency in martial arts continued to improve.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (4605/6000), rejuvenating the withered tree, greatly increasing vitality]

[Eternal Peace Chasing Wind Steps: Great Accomplishment (2411/2500), light as a swallow, walking on the wind, elusive figure]

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, First Layer: (1497/1500), drawing in qi, shedding mortal body]

During these five months, nothing major happened.

There were no new anomalies appearing either.

Since the deaths of more than thirty martial artists, Ma Yingjie had not sent anyone to patrol outside the city.

However, Captain Wu, who was transferred to the county yamen, lost his life during a mission.

"More than 1,490!"

"I should be able to break through 1,500 tonight!"

Qin Feng looked at the proficiency of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique and was very happy.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly cultivated the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

The mana in Qin Feng's body circulated rapidly, getting faster and faster!

Countless pale blue energy clusters slowly surrounded Qin Feng.

"Boom!"

After practicing for more than an hour, the blue energy flow directly entered Qin Feng's body and rushed in all directions.

Qin Feng's physical strength, strength, and agility were also rapidly increasing.

"I finally broke through!"

Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief. After months of hard work, he finally cultivated the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique to the Second Layer.

Originally, there wasn't much mana in Qin Feng's dantian.

Now the mana was as big as a pigeon egg.

It was several times stronger than when he was at the First Layer.

"Now I can use the Shadow Sphere more than thirty times at least!"

Qin Feng's face was full of joy.

Now, even if he encountered Wang Jiankang again, he wouldn't need to ambush him. He could take down Wang Jiankang easily.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique: Second Layer (1/2000), absorbs qi into the body, transcends mortal limitations]

"Lin Xue's favorability is 88!"

Looking at the favorability column, Qin Feng fell into contemplation.

As early as over three months ago, Qin Feng had already surpassed 88 in favorability.

However, three months ago, Lin Xue suddenly left Eternal Peace County and went to Three Harmonies County.

If he wanted to increase his favorability to 90, he could only wait for Lin Xue to return.

But when Qin Feng saw the lifespan column, he was still very excited.

Originally, Qin Feng only had a lifespan of a little over 600 years.

But after breaking through the second layer of the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, his lifespan increased by a full thirty years.

"Thirty years of lifespan!"

After checking his lifespan, Qin Feng also checked his strength, speed, and reaction.

Soon, Qin Feng discovered that whether it was speed, strength, or reaction, they had all increased significantly.

"Gugu gu gu"

At this moment, the sound of bird chirping came from outside.

"Lin Xue has returned from Three Harmonies County!"

Hearing the sound of the bird chirping, Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.

Qin Feng glanced at the rooms of Liang Weiwei and Hu Qingya, then quickly rushed outside.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng arrived in a courtyard.

At this moment, Lin Xue was sitting by the window in a red robe.

Qin Feng's figure moved and he appeared directly behind Lin Xue, then hugged her from behind.

Over an hour later, Qin Feng finally walked out of Lin Xue's room.

At this moment, Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.

Because Lin Xue's favorability had reached 91.

All his efforts over the past few months were not in vain.

At this moment, he could finally gain a reward.

He could extract talent points again.

He wondered what kind of talent he would get this time.

Back in his room, Qin Feng immediately looked at his attribute points.

Lifespan: 712 years

[Entries: Heaven Rewards the Diligent, Teacherless Master, Lifespan Absorption]

[Spells: None]

[Prop: Hidden Shadow Sphere]

[Concubines: Hu Qingya, Wei Weiwei, Lin Xue]

[Entry Points: 1]

[Note: Lin Xue's favorability is 91, can extract new entries.]

Seeing an additional entry point, Qin Feng's mood was very good.

"Extract entry!"

Qin Feng said softly.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully extracting the entry: Eye of Heaven]

[Eye of Heaven: Golden entry, after use, can easily see all information and weaknesses of Anomalies!]

"This..."

Looking at the newly appeared entry, Qin Feng was extremely excited.

With this powerful Eye of Heaven skill, he could easily see the weaknesses of Anomalies.

Then he could target the Anomalies accordingly.

In this way, Qin Feng could easily defeat Anomalies.

"Let's try the Eye of Heaven skill first!"

While saying this, Qin Feng looked towards the Servant Yard.

At this moment, Qin Feng's gaze had already fallen on Manager Huang.

Manager Huang had a faint Anomaly aura on him and had also joined the Black Water Cult.

He must have become an Anomaly.

Coupled with Manager Huang's low strength, it was just right to test the strength of the Eye of Heaven on him.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng walked towards the outside.
