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

Chapter 14: Three Major Events

In front of a mountain rock.

[Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique: Great Accomplishment: 205/2000, Qi and blood initial completion, sensing Anomaly]

"Wow, it increased by a hundred points of proficiency!"

"And my strength and reaction have also increased a lot!"

Qin Feng looked at his attribute panel with joy on his face.

Just now, he had taken the Qingyun Grass.

He never expected that a single Qingyun Grass could increase his proficiency by a hundred points.

If he were to take eighteen more Qingyun Grass, he would be able to cultivate the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique to perfection.

But soon, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Qingyun Grass is a special medicinal herb.

Buying it in an herbal shop would cost five taels of silver per plant.

Qin Feng couldn't possibly have so much silver to buy Qingyun Grass.

After checking his attribute panel, Qin Feng continued to gather medicinal herbs.

Time passed, and an afternoon went by.

Qin Feng had already gathered over sixty medicinal herbs in his medicine basket.

"Hmm, why is there the aura of a Caged Lantern Anomaly again!"

Just as Qin Feng was about to descend the mountain, he suddenly sensed the aura of a Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Just as Qin Feng was about to flee, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Following that, Hu Qingfu and several other servants rushed down from the mountain.

At this moment, Hu Qingfu and the others were in a sorry state.

Not only were their clothes torn, but their faces and arms were also covered in numerous scratches.

Even their medicine baskets were lost.

"Help!"

"There's a Caged Lantern Anomaly!"

The servants ran in panic while looking back in fear.

Qin Feng recognized all of these servants. They were all living in the same dormitory as him.

Behind these servants were two Caged Lantern Anomalies.

"Ah!"

Soon, one of the servants was caught up by the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

In just a few breaths, the servant turned into a skeleton.

Qin Feng reached out and took out a jar of pig's blood.

He carefully poured the pig's blood on the ground.

Qin Feng did this not to save these servants, but to save himself.

At the speed of these two Caged Lantern Anomalies, they would probably kill this group of servants soon.

If there was no pig's blood to attract them, Qin Feng would probably be caught up by these two Caged Lantern Anomalies as well.

"Buzz!"

The two Caged Lantern Anomalies flickered with red light and gave up on Hu Qingfu and the others, quickly rushing towards the pig's blood.

In the evening, Qin Feng returned to the camp.

He first handed in the medicinal herbs he had gathered today before returning to the dormitory.

"Qin Feng, thank you for saving me today!"

Hu Qingfu stood up gratefully and said.

If Qin Feng hadn't poured the pig's blood, he would have been killed by the Caged Lantern Anomaly long ago.

"Uncle Hu, no need to be polite!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

If it weren't for the two Caged Lantern Anomalies that appeared, Qin Feng had no intention of saving Hu Qingfu and the others.

Let alone wasting pig's blood.

The other servants also expressed their gratitude to Qin Feng one after another.

Qin Feng just nodded slightly.

"What should we do now!"

"I gathered ten medicinal herbs in two days!"

"I even lost my medicine basket!"

"There are so many Anomalies in Soft Wind Mountain all of a sudden!"

"And I heard that two servants were killed by the Skeletal Anomaly!"

"... "

The faces of the servants were all very gloomy.

They never expected that this medicinal herb gathering mission would be so difficult.

Not only were they unable to gather any herbs, but there was even a possibility of losing their lives.

Early the next morning, Qin Feng heard a strange command.

All the servants were to pack up and return to Eternal Peace County without going up the mountain.

"Return to Eternal Peace County!"

Qin Feng looked towards the direction of Soft Wind Mountain.

Usually, it takes three days to gather medicinal herbs as a miscellaneous disciple before returning on the fourth morning.

But now, they returned after only two days.

There must have been some changes within Soft Wind Mountain.

That's why so many miscellaneous disciples were sent back.

The journey this time was very smooth, without encountering any bandits from Black Wind Village.

However, after entering Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, the numerous guards did not allow the miscellaneous disciples to leave.

Instead, they made them wait on the square.

After about ten minutes, Manager Huang arrived with a large group of guards.

Manager Huang's expression was very unpleasant.

He glanced at the numerous miscellaneous disciples below before saying, "Firstly, for the next month, none of you will have any medicinal herb gathering tasks!"

"You only need to do miscellaneous tasks within Eternal Peace Medicine Manor!"

Upon hearing Manager Huang's words, the faces of the miscellaneous disciples were filled with excitement.

There are many anomalies on Soft Wind Mountain.

If they have bad luck, they will definitely be killed by anomalies on Soft Wind Mountain.

However, within Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, as long as they respond correctly every night when the Drum Maker Anomaly and Dark Beggar Anomaly appear, there is no danger to their lives.

"The second matter is that Eternal Peace is purchasing fresh blood, one bowl for one hundred wen!"

Manager Huang said with a smile.

"What? One bowl of blood for one hundred wen?"

"That's higher than my monthly salary!"

"I only need to donate some blood for a month!"

"This is great, I can buy new clothes!"

"..."

The faces of the miscellaneous disciples were filled with excitement.

Many of them don't have much money.

Some don't even have enough money to buy oil.

Now, with Eternal Peace Medicine Manor purchasing one bowl of blood for one hundred wen, how can they not be happy?

After all, they only earn one hundred wen after working hard for a month.

By donating blood a few times, they can earn several hundred wen.

"Blood!"

"Could it be that a new anomaly has appeared?"

Qin Feng's face was filled with contemplation.

Eternal Peace Medicine Manor has never purchased blood before.

Now suddenly they are purchasing it, there must be a new anomaly that requires a bowl of blood to resolve.

Looking at the excited miscellaneous disciples, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Blood is a person's vitality.

It is also the foundation of a martial artist.

If the foundation is injured, there is no possibility of breakthrough.

"Silence!"

Manager Huang shouted loudly.

The numerous miscellaneous disciples quickly straightened their bodies and looked towards the chief miscellaneous disciple above.

"Now, I announce the third matter!"

Manager Huang paused for a moment before continuing, "Three days from now, Eternal Peace Medicine Manor will recruit guards!"

"Originally, you had no chance to participate in the assessment!"

"But I pleaded with the Lord to allow you to participate in the assessment!"

"Those who pass the assessment can become guards of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor!"

Boom!

At this moment, all the miscellaneous disciples were excited.

How could they, as miscellaneous disciples, not understand the difference between a miscellaneous disciple and a guard?

Miscellaneous disciples are servants of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Even if they die, no one will investigate.

And they have countless tasks every day.

Their salary is only one hundred wen.

They only eat coarse grain pancakes.

Even every night, they have to endure the invasion of anomalies.

Guards, on the other hand, are completely different.

They not only have their own houses.

They can also cultivate the martial arts of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Their salary increases from one hundred wen to one or two silver.
