Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 606: Chapter 411: Innate Eight Meridians, Daughter of the Demon Race! (Double-Length)

Feeling the surging innate Qi aura within, the unlocking of eight martial veins made Song Changming feel light and buoyant, as if he could unconsciously soar into the sky.

For every martial artist, sealed martial veins are a constraint, a fetter of entrapment.

Now, the only thing wrapped around Song Changming is the last shackle!

Afterwards, Song Changming spent another day consolidating his skyrocketing Qi refining cultivation.

Thus, this year’s annual reward was finally fully received by him.

After this wave of expenditure, his remaining lifespan fell back to forty-nine thousand.

Yet Song Changming was not distressed by this, for both his current strength and future growth potential had seen a great enhancement after this annual reward.

In comparison, the consumption of lifespan was well worth it.

Calming the innate Qi aura surging within him, Song Changming felt better than ever, stroked his chin and summarized.

”The ’Taoist Dreamer’ helps me cultivate better; this trait hardly needs much development, while the ’Thunder Eater’ requires consuming more anomalous thunder to exhibit greater power, however...”

Song Changming snapped his fingers, and with a sizzling sound, a pale golden lightning appeared, transforming into a somewhat twisted-shaped spear, held just like that in his hand.

In the next moment, with a single thought from Song Changming, the spear in his hand transformed again, becoming a thunder saber entirely composed of golden thunder energy.

Feeling much more handy now, he gently swiped with the thunder saber.

In an instant, within a shower of electric sparks, the space in front seemed divided in half, the formidable power was undeniably revealed!

Although his ’Thunder Eater’ requires consuming more anomalous thunder to exhibit greater power.

Yet before this, the first anomalous thunder he consumed was indeed the golden thunder of the Great Demon Kang Jin Rat King, even if some was lost during refinement, and he lacked the Kangjin Rat Demon’s bloodline, nonetheless, the power of this golden thunder could not be weak.

Carefully observing the thunder blade in his hand, he had never had such ability before, at most, he could only blast out golden thunder, finding it extremely difficult to develop such variations.

Indeed, this is also one of the abilities bestowed by the Thunder Eater, the absolute control over thunder!

Starting today, the excavation and study of this thunder seed within him will also become one of his important topics.

”I never expected that a brute like me, who only knows how to use brute force, could have a day mastering magic...” Song Changming put away the thunder blade in his hand, making a self-mocking remark.

In the past, his greatest reliance has always been his forceful Qi power, which was also his physical talent granted by the Immortal Dragon Body.

And now, his greatest reliance has gained another, the thunder power bestowed by the Thunder Eater.

The more battle techniques the better, not to mention such tremendous killing techniques derived from the Great Demon.

Following the end of the seclusion, it was six days later until Song Changming emerged from the quiet chamber.

”Grand Marshal.” Outside the heavy door, Rongjiang greeted him promptly.

It was evident that apart from the thunderous outburst from Song Changming forcing him away, he diligently guarded the entrance of the seclusion chamber, not allowing anyone to approach.

”During my seclusion these days, has anything transpired outside?” Song Changming inquired.

”Not much happened...” Rongjiang paused and then added, ”Yesterday, it seemed some Zhao Family members committed offenses and were captured...”

He wasn’t sure if this was of concern to Song Changming.

This matter was neither particularly large nor small.

Those captured Zhao Family members were not core family members, merely some collateral branches.

Nonetheless, the Zhao Family indeed being a prestigious noble family in the core city, even collateral branch members aren’t easily detained by anyone.

Thus, this was not considered an ordinary trivial matter.

Song Changming asked who apprehended them, Rongjiang mentioned a few names, yet none belonged to other top families, merely common surnames, so Song Changming did not pursue the matter further.

No matter how diminished the Zhao Family becomes, ordinary officials wouldn’t dare to initiate action against Zhao Family members on their own.

Most likely, behind these officials, there’s a big figure supporting them.

Regarding this, Song Changming didn’t think much, choosing to observe the situation.

Upon leaving the Marshal’s Mansion, today Song Ping’an had recruited another batch of new soldiers for him.

But this time the numbers weren’t great, not reaching two hundred people, and none of them were innate martial artists, with the strongest only having Eighth Layer Qi Refining cultivation.

The decrease in troop numbers and drop in quality was unavoidable.

After all, there’s not so many capable talents available, and presently it’s merely his personal recruitment, naturally lacking the influence of the military department’s grand official enlistment.

Since there were no innate martial artists, Song Changming merely went through the motions, leaving the remaining work of receiving new soldiers to Xiao Peibai.

Late June.

Several Zhao Family industries were found to have operational issues, leading to the industries being sealed, and core members and managers being implicated and taken away.

For a moment, the city was filled with rumors and turmoil.

At first, the public thought it was the Prince’s Mansion taking action to reprimand the Zhao Family.

Following the demon race’s retreat and land reclamation, it was the time of heightened power for the Prince’s Mansion, this possibility couldn’t be excluded.

However, as the situation developed, soon many well-informed individuals discerned that behind this were still conflicts among top noble families.

The Zhao Family naturally retaliated but was quickly coerced into suffering numerous losses, repeatedly on the defensive.

Until mid-late July.

A band of soldiers encircled the gate of the Zhao Mansion in the core district, with several officials listing the numerous crimes of the Zhao Family, starting to announce them upfront.
