Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Master’s Test

Unbounded Mountain Range.

Towering mountains stood tall, stretching endlessly as if sharp swords piercing the sky, reaching heights unknown, tens of thousands of meters high.

Clouds and mist encircled the mountainside, while the peaks resembled heavenly palaces, with jade buildings and pavilions, a magnificent sight.

This was the location of the Unbounded Sword Sect.

Because of a high-grade spirit vein beneath the mountains, nourishing the Unbounded Mountain Range like a blessed land of immortals, the ancestors of the Unbounded Sword Sect chose this location to establish their sect.

Azure Cloud Mountain Range, where Azure Cloud Sect was located, also had a low-grade spirit vein, but compared to this, it was like a tiny ant facing a giant, the difference immeasurable.

And on one of the immortal mountains in the Unbounded Mountain Range, spiritual energy, resembling white mist, surged, purple bamboo glowed, and crimson clouds shimmered, emitting a captivating fragrance.

In the mountain forest, auspicious beasts lay dormant, while immortal cranes, long-lived apes, and other rare and exotic beasts roamed freely.

This was a pure land, peaceful and tranquil, devoid of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Lingzhi mushrooms and ancient medicinal herbs took root in the forest, emitting a faint purple glow.

Not far away, in the purple bamboo forest, a spiritual spring gurgled, with wisps of pure energy spiraling upwards like white immortal Qi, filling the air.

Huangfu Yue Yao, the previous Holy Maiden of the Unbounded Sword Sect and now the Vice Sect Master, a formidable figure who shook the world, lazily soaked in this spiritual spring.

Huangfu Yue Yao was enveloped in a hazy mist, her true appearance hidden, but this only heightened the anticipation, making people yearn to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Her skin was like jade, her figure sculpted according to the golden ratio, breathtakingly beautiful from every angle. However, the most captivating aspect was the hazy veil, the inability to see clearly, which only fueled the allure.

Her mature and voluptuous body gently stretched, her waist, like a beautiful serpent, twisted and turned, alluring and graceful, exuding both sensuality and languid comfort.

Especially her long, slender legs, smooth and light, seemed like a perfect masterpiece painstakingly crafted by the Creator. As she moved, her captivating figure was highlighted, eclipsing the beauty of all flowers.

“Master!”

A soft voice broke the silence. A stunning woman in red, with a graceful figure and a light, elegant gait, floated down and landed beside the spring, bowing respectfully.

“What is it?”

Huangfu Yue Yao kept her eyes closed, enjoying the nourishment of the spring. Her languid voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority, as melodious as a celestial song, like a warm breeze blowing into one’s heart, stirring the soul with a strange magic.

“The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, Qing Yu Yao, who claims to be an old acquaintance of yours, has sent a letter recommending a disciple under her tutelage. She says he possesses exceptional talent, possibly surpassing even the Holy Maiden!”

The woman in red presented the letter with both hands, her fair jade hands cupped respectfully.

“Qing Yu Yao of Azure Cloud Sect?”

Huangfu Yue Yao had some recollection of Azure Cloud Sect, a small sect in Qingzhou. The name Qing Yu Yao also quickly came back to her.

At her level, those she had met were impossible to forget.

However, that was a hundred years ago.

Time flew by.

Back then, she was still a young maiden venturing out into the world, and Qing Yu Yao was much the same, still a disciple of Azure Cloud Sect. They had met and traveled together for a period.

Their friendship wasn’t deep, but they were acquaintances.

Over the years, Qing Yu Yao had never sought her out. After all, there was a significant difference in their status, and Qing Yu Yao didn’t want to curry favor or exploit her influence.

She had a decent impression of Qing Yu Yao.

“Exceptional talent, surpassing even that girl Han Yi?”

A faint smile played on Huangfu Yue Yao’s lips. The letter held by the woman in red flew towards her automatically. She was curious to see what kind of talent this was.

She opened the envelope, finding Qing Yu Yao’s introduction and Zhou Chen’s profile inside.

“…Zhou Chen, twenty years old, orphan, two and a half years of cultivation, cultivating both immortality and martial arts, Body Refinement, Sixty-Ninth Transformation, Foundation Establishment, Complete Mastery…”

Sixty-Ninth Transformation was what Zhou Chen had told Qing Yu Yao. Given his age, this progress was undoubtedly genius among geniuses, especially considering his short cultivation period.

As for claiming hundreds of transformations, that would be too shocking. It might even lead to the Unbounded Sword Sect dissecting him to study his secrets.

“So fast?”

Huangfu Yue Yao’s initially indifferent eyes now held a hint of shock and disbelief. Her first reaction was that Qing Yu Yao was exaggerating to deceive her.

However, such a thing could be easily verified. Deceiving her would be pointless, only incurring her wrath and bringing catastrophic disaster upon Azure Cloud Sect. It was just that Zhou Chen’s progress was even faster than Zhao Han Yi’s.

Zhao Han Yi had been nurtured by the Unbounded Sword Sect since childhood, bathed in precious medicinal baths every day from the moment she was born.

There were also various medicinal recipes specially formulated by master alchemists, something unimaginable for ordinary people.

Some were born in Rome.

Some were born as oxen and horses.

Huangfu Yue Yao became serious, quickly scanning Zhou Chen’s information. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen came from a humble hunter’s background in the countryside of Qing He County.

And Old Man Cao, who had adopted Zhou Chen, was just an ordinary person. Although he had stumbled upon a fragmented manual of Yi’s Archery, he was unable to master it.

Zhou Chen had been unremarkable before that, just another ordinary hunter.

Yet this poor hunter, struggling for basic survival, had, in a mere two and a half years, cultivated into a monstrous prodigy of Body Refinement, Sixty-Ninth Transformation, and Foundation Establishment, Complete Mastery.

“Because after Old Man Cao died, he inherited his yet-to-be-married master’s wife, awakening his special talent?”

“Dual cultivation with women allows him to advance rapidly, as if aided by the divine?”

“This kind of talent and physique is quite peculiar…”

Although Huangfu Yue Yao was a woman, she was a cultivator, not some feminist zealot. She didn’t mind these things as long as it wasn’t a matter of stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy.

If Zhou Chen’s talent was truly that formidable, she wouldn’t hesitate to find him hundreds, thousands, even millions of women.

North Mountain Path governed nine provinces and seventy-two prefectures. Qingzhou alone had a population of over ten billion, and it was only the weakest and smallest province.

The entire North Mountain Path had a population in the trillions.

Countless women and factions desired to curry favor with her. This was not an issue at all.

However, based on the introduction, quality clearly trumped quantity. After all, Zhou Chen was only one person. But the world wasn’t lacking in high-quality women either.

As long as Zhou Chen’s talent and strength were sufficient, he could easily obtain them.

“Then I shall meet him!”

Huangfu Yue Yao rose, her long, perfect jade legs, adorned with water droplets, stepping out of the spring. An invisible aura swept over her, evaporating the moisture as a moon-white robe materialized on her body, exuding elegance and nobility.

With graceful steps, Huangfu Yue Yao’s unparalleled figure vanished into the hazy mist.

…

North Mountain City.

Pleasant Arrival Inn.

On the sixth floor, in the luxurious hall of a suite, Zhou Chen and Qing Yu Yao sat facing each other, the latter sharing the information she knew.

Zhou Chen gazed at Qing Yu Yao’s beautiful face, her red lips slightly parted as characters flowed from her rosy mouth, her voice clear and pleasant.

A faint, intoxicating fragrance wafted from her, and Zhou Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This subtle action naturally didn’t escape Qing Yu Yao’s notice. She flicked his forehead and glared at him.
“Behave yourself when Sect Master Huangfu arrives!”

Huangfu Yue Yao, as the previous Holy Maiden, possessed not only unparalleled beauty but also an aura and presence that ordinary people couldn’t match, truly a stunning figure.

Although Qing Yu Yao hadn’t seen her for a hundred years, she knew that Huangfu Yue Yao’s cultivation was profound, surpassing her own. Her beauty and presence could only be greater, not lesser.

“Sect Master, let…”

Zhou Chen had just opened his mouth, words forming, when he froze, eyes widening, pupils constricting.

In the hall, a breathtakingly beautiful fairy in white stood proudly.

Her long, black hair flowed like a silken waterfall, shimmering with a subtle radiance.

Her beauty was world-shattering. Her eyebrows were delicate strokes of art, her eyes bright and almond-shaped, her lips rosy and full. Her features were impossibly delicate, her skin like snow, smooth and radiant with a pearly glow. Beneath her dazzling phoenix robe, her figure was graceful and slender, with perfect curves.

Her aura was regal.

Her presence was noble and commanding.

She was a vision of unparalleled beauty and grace.

Halos of light bloomed beneath her feet, transforming into ethereal flowers that supported her jade-like steps. Each step was a blossom, each step exuded charm. Her grace was boundless, her beauty reaching its peak.

Such a celestial beauty, with her captivating allure, made one sigh in wonder. In this vast world, amidst the endless red dust, there existed such a stunning and captivating woman.

Qing Yu Yao looked up at the figure who had suddenly appeared, her eyes flickering with complex emotions. Compared to a hundred years ago, Huangfu Yue Yao’s appearance hadn’t changed much, only becoming more mature and regal.

But her aura and presence were worlds apart from before.

“If only my Immortal Spiritual Root hadn’t been stolen…”

Qing Yu Yao shook her head inwardly, suppressing her thoughts. She rose and bowed gracefully.
“Qing Yu Yao, Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, greets Sect Master Huangfu!”

“Sister Yu Yao, there’s no need for formalities.”

Huangfu Yue Yao smiled faintly, her voice cool and pleasant. With a gentle gesture, she lifted Qing Yu Yao up with a soft force.

“Disciple Zhou Chen greets Sect Master Huangfu!”

Zhou Chen bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, his gaze steady.

After all, this was a big shot.

Zhou Chen still had this much sense. Even though Huangfu Yue Yao was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, he remained unmoved.

Huangfu Yue Yao observed Zhou Chen. He was tall and well-built, exuding a masculine strength and an extraordinary aura. There was no trace of the wicked or perverse energy often found in cultivators from sects like the Harmony Sect.

“Yu Yao said you have achieved Body Refinement, Sixty-Ninth Transformation, and Foundation Establishment, Complete Mastery?”

“Yes!”

The aura of Foundation Establishment, Complete Mastery, and the powerful presence of Body Refinement, Sixty-Ninth Transformation, surged from Zhou Chen, making Huangfu Yue Yao’s eyes brighten as she nodded inwardly.

“This fiery aura should be the Red Emperor Fire God Art? Did you obtain it from Patriarch Lotus?”

Huangfu Yue Yao casually asked as she observed Zhou Chen.

“Sect Master’s insight is truly remarkable. I was punished by the Sect Master to guard the mines. During my free time, I went to Lotus Mountain for a stroll and ended up saving a child who fell off a cliff. As a result, I found Patriarch Lotus’s secluded cave where he passed away. It was a stroke of luck!”

Zhou Chen hadn’t expected Huangfu Yue Yao to recognize the Red Emperor Fire God Art at a glance and even guess its origin. But he didn’t hide it.

Although Patriarch Lotus’s legacy was decent, it wasn’t much in the eyes of the Unbounded Sword Sect. After all, Patriarch Lotus was only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

“On the path of cultivation, apart from talent and background, luck and opportunity, though elusive, play a significant role. It seems you are a man of great fortune!”

Huangfu Yue Yao was even more satisfied. She raised her fair hand and patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder.

Zhou Chen felt that the breathtakingly beautiful hand was terrifying. Even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t. An immense force pressed down on his shoulder, making him tremble.

“What a strong physique!”

Huangfu Yue Yao was startled. Her deep, captivating eyes held a meaningful glint.
“I’m afraid you’ve surpassed Sixty-Ninth Transformation!”

The Unbounded Sword Sect governed nine provinces and seventy-two prefectures, with a population of trillions. Talented individuals were as numerous as clouds.

Although Azure Cloud Ancestor was a prodigious talent in Qingzhou, looking at the entire North Mountain Path, there were still quite a few geniuses like him.

Azure Cloud Ancestor had no background, yet he was able to cultivate to Seventy-Two Transformations by collecting martial arts techniques on his own. Naturally, there were many geniuses in the Unbounded Sword Sect who could achieve this.

Moreover, one unparalleled martial art was stronger than ten ordinary high-level techniques. The geniuses of the Unbounded Sword Sect could achieve the equivalent of dozens of transformations by cultivating a few unparalleled arts.

However, someone like Zhou Chen, who had reached hundreds of transformations, was unheard of, not only in the Unbounded Sword Sect but even in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

“Indeed, nothing can escape Sect Master’s eyes. In fact, I’ve also cultivated an unparalleled martial art and have already reached Eighty-First Transformation!”

Zhou Chen said with a wry smile, as if his secret had been exposed.

“You little rascal!”

Huangfu Yue Yao inwardly chuckled and didn’t dwell on it. After all, cultivators had their secrets, especially a genius like Zhou Chen.

Without extraordinary opportunities, he couldn’t have reached this level.

Therefore, she only patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder and didn’t probe deeper into his body.

“I heard you possess a Five Elements Spiritual Root. That’s quite good. The Unbounded Sword Sect happens to have a very powerful Five Elements cultivation method, the Five Emperors Five Elements Art. Unfortunately, Five Elements Spiritual Roots are rare, like a pearl hidden in dust.”

Huangfu Yue Yao looked at Zhou Chen, whose eyes were flickering with interest.
“The Red Emperor Fire God Art you cultivate is just a weakened, fragmented version of the Five Emperors Five Elements Art.”

Zhou Chen suddenly understood why Huangfu Yue Yao had recognized his Red Emperor Fire God Art at a glance and even guessed its origin.

It seemed that Patriarch Lotus had some connection to the Unbounded Sword Sect.

At this moment, Zhou Chen thought of the saying from Jin Yong’s wuxia novels, “All martial arts under heaven originate from Shaolin.” He suddenly felt like all martial arts in North Mountain Path originated from the Unbounded Sword Sect.

He had made the right decision coming here. Not only did he gain a beautiful master, but his Five Elements cultivation method was perfectly resolved as well.

Nice!

“Don’t get too excited. This Sovereign hasn’t agreed to accept you yet!”

Seeing Zhou Chen’s delight, Huangfu Yue Yao shook her head and said calmly, “I heard you have a special talent. Dual cultivation with women aids your progress as if assisted by the divine, allowing you to reach your current realm in two and a half years?”
“Yes.”

“This is a supreme high-level martial art, the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique. Using your special talent, how long would it take you to master it?”

Huangfu Yue Yao took out a secret manual and tossed it to Zhou Chen. She wanted to confirm his talent one last time and ensure he hadn’t strayed onto the evil path of stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy.

Zhou Chen glanced at it briefly, inwardly scoffing. He could master it instantly.

“In reply to Sect Master, if you provide me with a Divine Power Realm woman to assist my cultivation, I can master it tonight!”

Zhou Chen said after a moment of contemplation.

“Alright!”

Huangfu Yue Yao nodded.

The Cloud Heaven Sword Technique was quite difficult. Even though Zhou Chen had reached Body Refinement, Eighty-First Transformation, and possessed remarkable comprehension, it would still take him at least a month to master it without the aid of precious resources.

If he could truly master it in one night, then his talent was indeed exceptional.

But only if he wasn’t stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy.

She instructed the woman outside,
“Summon a Divine Power Realm top courtesan for Zhou Chen!”

“Yes, Master!”

The stunning woman in red, guarding the door, vanished in an instant, personally seeking a courtesan for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen’s eyes widened. He remembered the first time he had asked Li Chang Feng to enjoy a courtesan before taking him as his master.

Unexpectedly, this time, before taking him as her disciple, his beautiful master was finding him a courtesan, asking him to enjoy her?

Was this the beauty of having a beautiful master?
Damn!
“This Sovereign will check in the morning. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

After saying this, Huangfu Yue Yao nodded at Qing Yu Yao and vanished from the room.

Watching Huangfu Yue Yao leave, Qing Yu Yao was both surprised and delighted, but also a bit worried.

“Zhou Chen, can you really master the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique in one night?”

“Sect Master, don’t worry. When have I ever boasted?”

“Actually, Body Refinement, Ninth Level, would be enough to help me master it. I intentionally raised the requirement by one realm. It won’t even take a whole night!”

Zhou Chen smiled, reassuring her.

“Then I’m relieved!”

Qing Yu Yao’s ample bosom heaved slightly. Since Zhou Chen could master it and wasn’t stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy, then becoming Huangfu Yue Yao’s disciple was practically guaranteed!

Although she hadn’t dual cultivated with Zhou Chen, Qin Hong Yu, the first to be with him, had experienced rapid progress in her cultivation, getting better and better.

The same was true for Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Zhao Shi Rong, Yu You Wei, Li Qing Xia, and Gu Qiu Shui.

If this was stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy?
Countless women would probably be lining up to be “stolen” from by Zhou Chen!

…

White Jade Capital.

The largest and most famous pleasure house in North Mountain City, its owner was the Unbounded Sword Sect. It was considered one of their peripheral businesses.

There were thirty-six top courtesans, each one a breathtaking beauty. If they were placed in any prefecture, they could easily make it onto the Hundred Flowers Ranking.

Countless men spent fortunes here every day, just for a glimpse of their beauty.

As for enjoying their company?
You were dreaming.

The courtesans of White Jade Capital wouldn’t easily give themselves to you. They were there to attract, to make you yearn, but remain unattainable.

It was only when their value had been sufficiently exploited, when they were about to be replaced by newcomers, that they would become available.

But even then, it would cost a fortune.

Compared to Celestial Fairy Restaurant in Azure Cloud City, Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion in Blazing Dragon City, and Drunken Dream Restaurant in Yun Meng City, this was like the difference between a back alley and a paradise on earth.

But today, with the arrival of Huangfu Yue Yao’s personal maidservant, these usually aloof courtesans became enthusiastic, all eager to offer themselves.

Although the identity of the person they would serve wasn’t revealed, to have Huangfu Yue Yao summon a courtesan, it had to be a significant figure.

Instead of waiting for their value to be drained, their first night auctioned off to some unknown man in the future, it was better to seize this opportunity.

The maidservant, Hong Zhu, scanned the room with her beautiful eyes, settling on a slender woman in green.
“You’ll do!”

“Qing E thanks the fairy!”

The woman in green, overjoyed, bowed deeply and left with Hong Zhu under the envious gazes of the others.

“Sister Qing E is so lucky!”

“Yes, to be summoned by Sect Master Huangfu, I wonder who this important person is?”

The courtesans, each with their own charm and grace, were filled with envy and jealousy, but there was nothing they could do. They could only blame their own misfortune.

…

Pleasant Arrival Inn.

The arrival of Qing E, one of the thirty-six top courtesans of White Jade Capital, immediately attracted attention and sparked discussions, with everyone speculating about the identity of the important person staying at the inn.

As for Hong Zhu, she concealed her presence, preventing anyone from noticing her. Otherwise, Pleasant Arrival Inn would have been in an uproar.

Although Qing E was quite famous, she was ultimately just a courtesan. Hong Zhu, on the other hand, was Huangfu Yue Yao’s confidante, her personal maidservant.

Even a minor official at the Prime Minister’s gate held a certain status.

Hong Zhu often represented Huangfu Yue Yao herself.

Knock, knock, knock!
A knock came at the door. Zhou Chen opened it, and his eyes lit up.

“This humble one, Qing E, greets the young master!”

Qing E bowed gracefully. She had already learned the identity of the person she would be serving on the way.

She had initially assumed it would be an elderly senior, but she hadn’t expected it to be a young prodigy, a talented youth about to become Huangfu Yue Yao’s disciple.

She felt like she had struck gold.

“Please come in, fairy!”

Zhou Chen stepped aside, gesturing invitingly.

“Thank you, young master!”

Qing E bowed once more and entered the room with graceful steps, gently closing the door behind her.

Seeing Zhou Chen’s gentle expression, not looking down on her humble status, her heart filled with joy.

Zhou Chen observed Qing E, inwardly marveling,
“As expected of the Vice Sect Master, she’s truly generous!”

Zhou Chen had initially thought it would just be any random Divine Power Realm courtesan, but he hadn’t expected her to be a virgin. The difference between the two went without saying.

And Qing E was breathtakingly beautiful, her charm surpassing all others, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, radiant and dazzling, making those around her feel inferior. Every inch of her skin seemed to belong to another world, sparkling with a subtle radiance, like a hazy moon veiled by thin clouds, like moonlight accompanied by flowing light.

Especially since Qing E wasn’t very old, only twenty-eight or twenty-nine, but she had already reached the Divine Power Realm. In a smaller place, she would undoubtedly be considered a prodigy.

Of course, this was also because her talent wasn’t exceptional. She had reached the Divine Power Realm by cultivating only one martial art. Without extraordinary opportunities, she would at most reach the Divine Form Realm in this lifetime.

She might even be stuck at the Divine Power Realm forever.

However, brothels never expected their courtesans to have exceptional strength. The reason they invested resources to raise them to the Divine Power Realm was simply to make them more attractive, more valuable.

“Fairy Hong Zhu mentioned that the young master requires my assistance in cultivation. Please feel free to command me, young master!”

Qing E’s voice was like pearls rolling, her smile radiant. Her hair flowed like a silken waterfall, her long dress trailing behind her, outlining her graceful figure, slender and alluring.

She walked lightly towards Zhou Chen, her face delicate and charming, possessing an irresistible allure.

“Then please assist me in my cultivation, fairy!”

Inhaling the alluring fragrance emanating from her, Zhou Chen grasped Qing E’s soft, delicate hand and gently pulled her closer. Her light and graceful body fell into his arms.

Her warmth and softness stirred his desires.

With a gentle tug at the jade belt around her waist, the room suddenly filled with a dazzling radiance. Zhou Chen couldn’t tear his eyes away from the most beautiful sight in the world.

“Please be gentle, young master!”

Qing E’s slender arms embraced Zhou Chen’s waist, her eyes hazy with desire. Her skin was flawless, like polished jade, her curves undulating, shimmering with a captivating glow, resembling a beautiful serpent.

“I know when women say no, they mean yes, and when they ask for gentleness, they mean the opposite…”

Zhou Chen chuckled mischievously and lifted Qing E, carrying her to the bed.

“Ah…”

Qing E gasped, her lips parting slightly, but before she could speak, Zhou Chen captured her alluring lips with his own.

The spring tide surged, bringing a sudden downpour.

…

The previously quiet room filled with the sounds of their passion. In the next room, Qing Yu Yao, with her keen hearing, and Hong Zhu, observing Zhou Chen from the shadows, blushed and inwardly cursed.

The night passed swiftly.

Dawn gradually broke, the world shrouded in a hazy, silver-gray veil.

All was silent.

Soon, a sliver of pale light appeared on the eastern horizon, and the world slowly brightened.

A gentle breeze dispersed the clouds and mist, and the sun peeked out, smiling brightly, showering the earth with warmth and radiance.

The grass swayed gently, the air fresh and clean.

A layer of frost clung to the green grass lining the cobblestone path, slowly melting under the warm sunlight, condensing into sparkling, colorful dewdrops.

In the bedroom of Pleasant Arrival Inn, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with excitement as he thought of his beautiful master, Huangfu Yue Yao.

This master was worth having!
“Mmm!”

Qing E, still asleep, seemed to sense something. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she let out an alluring moan, as if startled.

“Ah, I really want to sleep in!”

Zhou Chen sighed, shaking his head. He truly didn’t want to get out of bed, especially since Qing E’s room was warm and comfortable. He didn’t want to leave at all.

However, Huangfu Yue Yao was coming to check on his progress today. He couldn’t stay in bed.

With great willpower, Zhou Chen pulled himself out of bed.

As soon as he finished dressing, he saw Huangfu Yue Yao, appearing out of thin air, standing before him, observing him with amusement.
“This Sovereign thought you wouldn’t be able to get up!”

As she spoke, Huangfu Yue Yao had already reached the bedside, examining Qing E to ensure Zhou Chen hadn’t secretly stolen her Yin energy.

Qing E hadn’t washed up yet and looked a bit pitiful. There were tear stains on her face, her eyes red and swollen, as if tears were still welling up.

Even with her exceptional composure, Huangfu Yue Yao felt a surge of heat within her as she saw this scene. She inwardly cursed.

Zhou Chen was a bit embarrassed. After all, Qing E was injured, her wounds even festering. He hadn’t had time to clean and treat them yet.

“There’s no trace of Yin energy being stolen. Her cultivation has even slightly improved, likely due to dual cultivation with you…”

Huangfu Yue Yao carefully examined Qing E’s condition, confirming that Zhou Chen hadn’t strayed onto the evil path of stealing Yin energy to supplement Yang energy.

But had he really mastered the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique?

According to Hong Zhu, Zhou Chen had been with Qing E until dawn, without stopping.

“How is your progress with the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique?”

Huangfu Yue Yao turned to Zhou Chen.

“Please observe!”

The aura of the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique emanated from Zhou Chen. He extended his index finger, transforming it into a sword, and slashed towards Huangfu Yue Yao.

The sword energy was sharp, possessing the ethereal nature of clouds and the grandeur of the heavens. His sword intent was restrained, his mastery evident. The power was immense.

However, Huangfu Yue Yao didn’t move. Her beautiful eyes simply focused on Zhou Chen as the sword energy silently dissipated before reaching her.

Zhou Chen executed three consecutive sword strikes, each stronger than the last, all ultimate moves of the Cloud Heaven Sword Technique. Huangfu Yue Yao’s eyes shone with brilliance, her satisfaction evident.

He had truly mastered it in one night!

He had even comprehended the Cloud Heaven Sword Intent!

Although his talent was somewhat unorthodox, it was truly remarkable, and powerful!

Zhou Chen knew he had succeeded. He immediately bowed deeply.
“Beautiful Master, please accept this disciple’s bow!”
