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

Chapter 93: Late Night Sparring with Lin Xue, Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique Perfected

Opening the attribute panel, Qin Feng saw that his lifespan had increased by more than fifty years. His strength and vitality had also increased significantly. But that wasn't what excited Qin Feng the most. The most exciting thing for Qin Feng was a line of small text below.

[Your diligent cultivation has raised the level of the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique!]

[At the breakthrough of the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique, you have gained the ability to sense techniques!]

[Sensing: You have a special sensitivity to danger and anomalies.]

[Sensing: Trait 1, your reaction speed has doubled.]

[Trait 2: You are more sensitive to the aura of anomalies, even the faintest ones can be sensed by you!]

"Sensing!"

Looking at the new skill on the attribute panel, Qin Feng was in a very good mood. His strength had been greatly enhanced once again. He now had many more opportunities to slay the Divine Tree Anomaly.

"Husband, it's time to eat!"

At that moment, Liang Weiwei walked out from inside.

"Hmm?"

In the instant Liang Weiwei walked out, Qin Feng sensed a faint anomaly aura.

"What's going on?"

"How could there be an anomaly aura on Weiwei?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Soon, Qin Feng locked onto a jade pendant hanging from Weiwei's waist.

The faint anomaly aura was emanating from the jade pendant on Liang Weiwei's waist.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Liang Weiwei looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Weiwei, where did this jade pendant come from?"

Qin Feng pointed at the jade pendant on Liang Weiwei and asked.

"This was given to me by my father when we got married!"

"He asked me to always wear it!"

Liang Weiwei glanced at the jade pendant and said.

"Liang Xu giving you this jade pendant definitely has some ulterior motive!"

Qin Feng instantly realized.

Liang Xu giving this jade pendant was definitely to monitor Qin Feng.

And Liang Xu marrying Liang Weiwei to Qin Feng was definitely not because of Qin Feng's high talent.

"Husband, what's wrong with this jade pendant?"

Liang Weiwei curiously asked.

"This jade pendant doesn't look good when worn!"

"Tomorrow, I'll buy you a better one!"

Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Husband, is this jade pendant really not good-looking?"

Liang Weiwei hesitated for a moment before handing the jade pendant to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng took the jade pendant and directly stored it in his storage space.

Although he didn't know Liang Xu's intentions, storing the jade pendant in his storage space would definitely not be wrong.

The next day.

Qin Feng had just prepared to cultivate when Li Ru walked in from outside.

"Ru Jie, what's wrong?"

Qin Feng held Li Ru's hand.

Although they were already an old married couple, Li Ru's face still turned red when Qin Feng held her hand.

"Husband, the Manor Lord wants you to go to the main hall!"

Li Ru said with a blush.

"Alright, I'll go right away!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

At this moment, Qin Feng also understood why Liu Ruyan called him.

It must be to go to the county government office.

After all, it was almost the fifteenth of August.

The battle plan between Ma Yingjie and Liang Xu had already been decided.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng entered the main hall of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was sitting on the main seat in a cheongsam, drinking tea.

Although she was just sitting there drinking tea, there was still a special beauty about her.

"Greetings, Manor Lord!"

Qin Feng walked in from outside.

"En!"

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and said, "Chen Head has just been here, accompany me to the county government office!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Qin Feng cupped his hands.

County government office.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Ruyan brought Qin Feng to the county government office.

At this moment, many martial artists had already gathered inside the county government office.

Liang Xu, Lin Zongbiao, and many martial arts hall masters were already here.

"Feng'er?"

Liang Xu called out to Qin Feng as soon as he saw him.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Qin Feng asked quickly.

Liang Xu looked Qin Feng up and down before asking, "Feng'er, where is the jade pendant I gave you?"

"It's right here!"

Qin Feng reached out his hand and took out the jade pendant from his storage space.

Liang Xu took the jade pendant and examined it for a long time.

"Weird?"

"What's going on?"

Liang Xu's face was filled with confusion.

He couldn't understand why he couldn't sense the location of the jade pendant.

"Master, if you like this jade pendant, you should take it back first!"

Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Disciple, you should hold onto this jade pendant for now!"

After examining it for a while, Liang Xu once again handed the jade pendant to Qin Feng.

In the instant Qin Feng received the jade pendant, he stored it in his Storage Space.

"How strange?"

After observing Qin Feng for a while, Liang Xu shook his head and sat down on a chair.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng sensed a terrifying Anomaly aura slowly approaching.

"It must be Ma Yingjie coming!"

Qin Feng concluded in his heart.

Sure enough, Ma Yingjie entered slowly with his attendant.

"Greetings, County Magistrate Ma!"

"Hello, County Magistrate Ma!"

Many martial artists stood up and saluted Ma Yingjie.

"Hahaha, no need to be polite, everyone!"

"Please sit!"

Ma Yingjie's face was full of smiles.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ma!"

Many martial artists sat down one after another.

"County Magistrate Ma, have you formulated the battle plan?"

Lin, the head of the Lin Escort Agency, stood up and asked.

"Rest assured, Head Lin, I have already devised a perfect battle plan!"

Ma Yingjie seemed to be very confident.

"I hope County Magistrate Ma can enlighten us!"

Head Lin quickly said.

Other martial artists also looked towards County Magistrate Ma.

"What is the thing that the Divine Tree fears the most?"

County Magistrate Ma asked with a smile.

"Naturally, the tree fears fire!"

Head Lin answered directly.

"Correct, the tree fears fire the most!"

County Magistrate Ma nodded, then looked at Head Lin and said, "There is a lot of oil in your martial arts hall, so you will be responsible for preparing the oil!"

"County Magistrate Ma, rest assured, I will take care of the oil!"

Head Lin stood up and said.

"Four days later, deliver the oil to the county office!"

Ma Yingjie said again.

"Understood!"

Head Lin cupped his hands.

Upon hearing Ma Yingjie's words, Qin Feng instantly understood Ma Yingjie's plan.

Ma Yingjie would definitely replace all the oil with water.

This way, the Divine Tree Anomaly would not be burned by the fire.

"On the fifteenth day of August, the strength of the Divine Tree Anomaly will be reduced by half!"

"At most, it will only have the cultivation of Bone Refining Fifth Grade!"

"As long as we are careful, there won't be any life-threatening danger!"

"We are currently attracting the attention of the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

"Liang, the master of the Liang Manor, will lead the oil into the Divine Tree Valley!"

"..."

Ma Yingjie slowly revealed his plan.

In Ma Yingjie's plan, Liu Ruyan and many other experts would attract the attention of the Divine Tree Anomaly head-on.

Meanwhile, Head Lin and Liang Xu would sneak into the rear of the Divine Tree Anomaly with the oil.

Taking advantage of the Divine Tree Anomaly's inattention, they would pour the oil into the Divine Tree Anomaly's pool.

Then, they would ignite the oil.

This way, they could easily kill the Divine Tree Anomaly.

"This plan is good!"

"As long as the fire starts, the Divine Tree Anomaly will definitely die!"

"This way, our Eternal Peace County will be saved."

"..."

Head Lin and many martial artists nodded in agreement.

They all highly approved of County Magistrate Ma's plan.

They also believed that this time, they would definitely be able to easily kill the Divine Tree Anomaly.

"Now that everyone agrees!"

"You all should go back and prepare!"

"In five days, we will go to the Soft Wind Mountain together and kill the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

Ma Yingjie stood up and said.

"Understood!"

Many martial artists stood up one after another.

A dozen minutes later, Qin Feng and Liu Ruyan returned to the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor together.

Liu Ruyan was lost in thought the whole way and didn't say a word.

After returning to the manor, she went straight to the main hall.

"On the fifteenth day of August!"

Qin Feng's face was filled with solemnity.

There were only five days left until the fifteenth day of August.

It was also the day when the Divine Tree Anomaly's strength would greatly increase.

If they were to go and kill the Divine Tree Anomaly on that day, they would definitely be killed by the Divine Tree Anomaly.

"Gugu gugu gugu...!"

At this moment, the sound of rumbling came.

"Lin Xue is here!"

Qin Feng's figure moved and quickly rushed outside.

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

At this moment, Lin Xue was sitting on a stone chair wearing a red dress.

In front of the stone table, there was a table full of food and wine.

"Have a seat!"

When Lin Xue saw Qin Feng arrive, she pointed to the chair in front and said.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate and sat directly on the opposite chair.

Lin Xue poured a glass of wine for Qin Feng before asking, "What did County Magistrate Ma want from you?"

After taking a sip of wine, Qin Feng said, "Ma Yingjie has formulated a plan to deal with the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

Qin Feng slowly revealed Ma Yingjie's plan.

"Hehe!"

"What kind of plan is this?"

"Just a plan to die!"

Lin Xue's eyes were filled with cold laughter.

Lin Xue put down her wine glass and said, "The person in the martial arts hall is definitely not my second senior brother, Liang Xu."

"Based on my many years of investigation!"

"On August 15th, the strength of the Divine Tree Anomaly not only did not decrease, but increased a lot!"

Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, Qin Feng was slightly stunned.

He possessed the skill Eye of Heaven, so he knew some of the characteristics of the Divine Tree Anomaly.

He didn't expect Lin Xue to be able to investigate it.

"Xuejie, what do you mean?"

Qin Feng looked at Lin Xue.

"On August 15th, let's go to the Three Harmonies River together!"

"With our abilities, we can definitely easily defeat the Black Python Anomaly on the Three Harmonies River!"

"Then escape from the Three Harmonies River!"

Lin Xue slowly spoke.

"Xuejie, could the flaw on the Three Harmonies River also be a trap?"

Qin Feng put down his wine glass.

"Also a trap?"

Lin Xue's eyes were full of doubt.

"Since the strength of the Divine Tree Anomaly on August 15th has not weakened!"

"How could there be a flaw on the Three Harmonies River?"

"Even if we kill the Black Python Anomaly, we probably won't be able to escape from there!"

Qin Feng slowly analyzed.

Lin Xue nodded slightly and said, "You're right, if the Divine Tree Anomaly is not weakened, how could there be a flaw?"

"Then how should we escape?"

Lin Xue looked at Qin Feng.

"This is not the place to talk!"

"Let's go to the room and discuss!"

While saying this, Qin Feng came to Lin Xue's side.

"Phew!"

Lin Xue's face turned red all of a sudden. She naturally knew what Qin Feng wanted to do.

But Lin Xue still let Qin Feng carry her into the room.

After more than an hour, Qin Feng finally walked out of the room.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Originally, Qin Feng wanted to practice the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique.

But Lin Xue would come to find him every afternoon.

The two of them would discuss for more than two hours in the room.

In addition, they also had to discuss with Li Ru, Hu Qingya, and Liang Weiwei.

Qin Feng didn't have any time to practice at all.

Because tomorrow was the delivery time for the oil, Qin Feng went to the Lin Escort Agency at night.

If this batch of oil was delivered to the county government, it would definitely be tampered with by the county magistrate.

It would be better for Qin Feng to tamper with the oil first.

This way, Qin Feng's chances of killing the Divine Tree Anomaly would increase a lot.

As soon as Qin Feng entered the escort agency, he saw Lin, the head of the escort, leading a large group of escorts towards the inner courtyard.

Qin Feng quickly followed behind Lin.

"Greetings, Head Lin!"

Many martial artists saluted Lin.

"Well, is the oil ready?"

Lin looked at a martial artist.

"Reporting to the head, it's all ready!"

The martial artist pointed to the oilcloth behind him.

"Open it!"

Lin ordered.

As Lin's words fell, many martial artists removed the oilcloth, revealing hundreds of oil barrels.

Inside these barrels was concentrated oil.

"Good!"

"Pack up this oil and deliver it to Magistrate Ma tomorrow morning!"

Lin was very satisfied.

After checking, he left.

Many martial artists began to pack the oil.

An hour later, the oil was packed by the staff of the escort agency.

"I wonder what Head Lin wants to do with this oil?"

"I'm tired, let's go for a drink later!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

As the staff of the escort agency spoke, they walked outside.

Soon, there was no one in the courtyard except for the carriages.

"Let's steal this oil first!"

Qin Feng's figure appeared in the courtyard.

For Qin Feng, it was not difficult to switch this oil.

After all, he had obtained a storage space.

In just half an hour, Qin Feng had switched all the oil.

The oil inside had all turned into water.

County government.

Lin, the head of the escort, had already brought these dozen carriages to the county government early.

"Head Lin, this time you've done a great job!"

Ma Yingjie had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Magistrate Ma!"

Lin, the head of the escort, was excited.

"Alright, Head Lin, you can go back first. On August 15th, we will go together to kill the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

Ma Yingjie said with a smile.

"Thank you, Magistrate Ma!"

Lin, the head of the escort, slowly left.

"Someone!"

Ma Yingjie suddenly spoke up.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

The steward hurriedly approached.

"Replace this oil with water!"

Ma Yingjie said.

"Yes, sir!"

The steward quickly retreated.

But soon the steward came back again.

"Master, the carriage is filled with water!"

The steward said cautiously.

"What?"

"All water?"

Ma Yingjie quickly went to the front of the carriage and soon discovered that the barrels contained only water.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that Lin Zongbiao is also a member of the Black Water Cult?"

Ma Yingjie's face was filled with astonishment.

County government office.

Late at night.

"Today is the tenth day of the eighth month!"

"It is when Ma Yingjie is weak!"

Qin Feng's figure appeared outside the county government office.

At this moment, Qin Feng was fully prepared.

Not only did he obtain bear blood, but he also changed his longbow to a ten-stone bow.

All the arrowheads were soaked in bear blood for two days.

He was ready to kill Ma Yingjie today.

"Swish!"

Qin Feng's figure moved and he appeared on the roof of the county government office. He saw Ma Yingjie sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, nurturing his spirit.

The steward was guarding outside the main gate.

"Eye of Heaven!"

Qin Feng lightly shouted and activated Eye of Heaven.

Soon, a virtual eye appeared in the sky.

Ma Yingjie's attributes slowly appeared in Qin Feng's sight.

[Black Python Anomaly: High Rank]

[Strength: Bone Refining Sixth Grade]

[Defense: Strong]

[Weakness: Bear blood, seven inches]

[Specialty: Today's strength is reduced by half]

[Source: Black Water Cult's chief protector, cultivated the Black Python Anomaly technique and became an Anomaly!]

[Applying bear blood to the seven inches can greatly restrict the Black Python Anomaly!]

Looking at Ma Yingjie's attributes, Qin Feng's face was filled with excitement.

Now Ma Yingjie was only at the Bone Refining Seventh Grade.

Killing Ma Yingjie would be very easy for Qin Feng.

"Who's there?"

Ma Yingjie suddenly opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The steward quickly walked in.

"Is there anyone outside?"

Ma Yingjie quickly asked.

"Master, besides me, there is no one outside!"

The steward shook his head slightly.

"Weird!"

Ma Yingjie shook his head slightly and waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The steward retreated again.

"Now I have to kill this steward first!"

Qin Feng carefully looked at the steward.

The steward also had some Anomaly aura on him.

But the steward's strength was not very strong, only at the Blood Refining Seventh Grade.

Even without using the Eye of Heaven skill, Qin Feng could easily kill the steward.

Qin Feng took out an arrow from the quiver and aimed it at the steward slowly.

"Swish!"

With a muffled sound, the arrow quickly flew towards the steward.

The steward was resting at the door and didn't sense the arrival of the arrow at all.

It wasn't until the arrow was in front of him that the steward noticed the rapidly approaching arrow.

"Chi chi!"

The arrow directly pierced the steward's throat.

The steward opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to inform Ma Yingjie inside.

But at this moment, the steward had no strength left.

"Thud!"

With a light sound, the steward fell to the ground without any sound.

"Who's there?"

Ma Yingjie suddenly opened his eyes and came to the outside of the main gate.

"Swish, swish!"

At the moment Ma Yingjie appeared, three arrows quickly flew towards him.

"Good timing!"

Ma Yingjie clapped his hands forward, and a stream of air flew towards the front.

The three arrows that flew over turned into powder as soon as they touched the air stream.

"Since you're here, why sneak around!"

Ma Yingjie stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the opposite roof.

"Haha, Magistrate Ma is indeed formidable!"

Qin Feng laughed loudly and walked down from the roof.

"Huh?"

Looking at Qin Feng coming down, Ma Yingjie's eyes were filled with confusion.
