Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 268 - 169: Cursed Land (Part 2)

When he was young, he went to the Divine Sect to seek the Dao, and had stayed in the small town for several nights. Later on, the Divine Sect disciples mysteriously vanished overnight. Ordinary people hadn’t heard anything, but he, who thirty years ago was already a Celestial Profound Realm powerhouse, did know something.

However, like Jiang Feng, he did not know that Sunset Town had become a cursed place.

He saw from afar that a figure outside the town, sneaky as a thief, slipped into the town, and a flash of golden light passed by. Instantly, he thought of the one-eyed old man, and without caring about anything else, he stirred up the Power of Heaven and Earth, speeding toward Sunset Town as fast as he could.

Boom!

He crossed the city gate.

His body landed right in the middle of the town’s main street.

The powerful wave of aura; the moment his feet touched the ground, the entire town seemed to violently tremble.

The residents inside the town were all terrified, but, rarely seeing outsiders, couldn’t help but stick their heads out to see what was going on.

Liu Jinhu frowned.

Because he’d been here before.

With just one look, he sensed that something was off, realizing that Sunset Town was deadly quiet. The eyes of its people were extremely strange, as if they’d all lost their souls.

"Come out. I know you’re hiding. Hand me the Spiritual Liquid and I will let everything else go."

But the Spiritual Liquid was the most urgent matter; Liu Jinhu didn’t bother why the town’s people had become like this. His Perception Power stretched in all directions, greedily trying to cover the whole Sunset Town.

Unfortunately.

Though Sunset Town was just a border town, at its peak it could house hundreds of thousands. The town was very spacious, and no matter what, his Perception Power could not cover every corner of it.

He could sense the Power of Heaven and Earth fluctuations two thousand meters away—already a remarkable feat.

Finding Jiang Feng through Perception Power was anything but easy.

Just as he said.

Jiang Feng was still inside the town, hiding in a civilian house, checking his panel information.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 121112

Cultivation Technique: Tai Chi Longevity Skill (Perfection)

Skills: Loulan Slash (Perfection) Wind Palm (Minor Achievement+) Three-legged Body Technique (Mastery+)

Realm: Innate (Celestial Profound Realm)

Divine Power: Immortality

"Liu Jinhu is known as the Celestial Profound Fourth, called Fourth Uncle. Although I’m also in the Celestial Profound Realm, I might not be his match. I can’t keep all these Fortune Points—I need to add them to my Body Technique."

Jiang Feng muttered in his heart.

He remembered upgrading Three-legged Body Technique from Beginner to Mastery last time, which had cost ninety thousand points.

Ninety thousand points, two levels up in a row.

Beginner to Proficient took thirty thousand Fortune Points.

Proficient to Mastery cost sixty thousand Fortune Points.

To go from Mastery to Minor Achievement needed a hundred and twenty thousand.

So he spent one hundred and twenty thousand Fortune Points to upgrade Three-legged Body Technique.

The information panel changed.

Fortune: 1112

Skills: Three-legged Body Technique (Minor Achievement)

"Where did that guy just run off to?"

Liu Jinhu hadn’t found Jiang Feng through his Perception Power.

He knew that, back on Black Iron Mountain, Jiang Feng had only a Primordial Realm cultivation, yet, with Tai Chi Longevity Skill, could conceal every trace of his aura, making Liu Jinhu unable to detect him.

He’d even hidden two hundred meters away from Xiao Zhan.

Only Old Demon Child could spot him in an instant.

Now with his cultivation at Celestial Profound Realm Level, it would be even harder for Liu Jinhu to find Jiang Feng, unless he scoured the place; so he started asking the townsfolk.

Yet when people heard him, they only looked at one another.

The old man’s miserable fate had made them realize Jiang Feng was not someone to provoke. Knowing that Jiang Feng had snuck back in, they all kept their distance, and truly didn’t know where Jiang Feng was hiding.

"I’m talking to you people!"

Liu Jinhu roared.

His voice carried a surge of True Essence, sending the nearby people flying to the ground.

"They all know where the person you’re looking for is. They’re deliberately not telling you."

Huang Li stood by a stone pillar, pointing at everyone in the town, shouting at Liu Jinhu.

She could see Liu Jinhu was someone with formidable abilities.

Thinking about how the town turned into a cursed land, and how these people neither warned her father nor helped, and even pushed him outside, she watched with her own eyes as her old father died in agony, his blood drained dry.

"Don’t slander us! We all know you know that guy—you two are working together."

"Yeah, they spoke together before."

"This little girl seems to be his sister."

The crowd sensed trouble and began accusing Huang Li instead.

"I’m not making things up! You all know where he’s hiding, you just don’t want him to hand over the Spiritual Liquid to this old man. Because without the Spiritual Liquid, you’ll all die!"

Huang Li shouted loudly.

"This girl is vicious—she wants to use Liu Jinhu to kill everyone in town."

Hiding in Sunset Town, Jiang Feng heard Huang Li’s voice and was startled deep inside.

Never expected that Huang Li, though so young, was this shrewd.

Liu Jinhu had simply mentioned handing over the Spiritual Liquid, and she could spin out so many stories.

"What nonsense are you saying—what Spiritual Liquid? We don’t know anything."

"That little girl’s father died and she’s blaming us. Sir, don’t believe her."

"You’ll get what’s coming to you—both you and your dad!"

...

The crowd all argued loudly.

"Boom!"

Liu Jinhu didn’t waste time arguing. He raised his hand and struck with his palm, sending a group of people on the left flying on the spot. The immense force slammed into their chests, turning many of them into a mist of blood, limbs torn asunder, littering the ground.

"Ah!"

"He’s murdering people!"

"Run!"

No one in the crowd had ever seen someone kill a whole group with a single palm, smashing them to pieces—dead with not even their bodies left whole.
