Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 143

Chapter 143: What is a Supernatural Ability? The Wolf Has Come! Smoothly Conquering the Five Cities of the Twelfth Floor

“He… He’s actually Holy Son Zhou!?”

Thinking about how he had just tried to show off in front of the Holy Son with a black iron steward token, the middle-aged scholar was both ashamed and terrified, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

Too embarrassing!

As a leading sect in the Dao of the Sword, the Unbounded Sword Sect attracts all the talented individuals. Within North Mountain Path, almost all of the most exceptional prodigies are recruited by them.

He had once considered himself a genius, a prodigy in a prefecture, but in the Unbounded Sword Sect, he was nothing special.

The Unbounded Sword Sect recruits disciples once every ten years. Those under thirty years old and with a cultivation level not exceeding the Body Refinement Realm are eligible. Each time, they only accept nine True Inheritance Disciples, ninety-nine inner sect disciples, nine hundred and ninety-nine outer sect disciples, and ten thousand miscellaneous duties disciples.

This number may seem quite large, but considering the seventy-two prefectures across the nine provinces, it’s like thousands upon thousands of soldiers trying to cross a single-plank bridge.

For example, at least half of the True Inheritance Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect wouldn’t even qualify to be miscellaneous duties disciples here.

He could only be considered average among the miscellaneous duties disciples; otherwise, he wouldn’t be the lowest-ranking black iron steward.

“I wonder if Holy Son Zhou will hold a grudge against me? If he finds me displeasing, I’m finished…”

The middle-aged scholar’s heart was filled with panic.

Showing off feels good for a moment.

But the aftermath is a crematorium.

“Holy Son Zhou is such an extraordinary figure, he probably already forgot about me…”

The middle-aged scholar consoled himself, no longer in the mood to enjoy Fairy Yu Jiao’s performance. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

As the music ended, countless guests were mesmerized, unable to recover for a long time.

Fairy Yu Jiao stood up and bowed gracefully, her voice soft and gentle:

“I was unaware of Holy Son Zhou’s presence and failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive me, Holy Son Zhou!”

Her voice was soft, and those outside couldn’t hear her.

Zhou Chen had arrived in disguise, and she didn’t know his intentions, so she didn’t dare to reveal his arrival.

In reality, the guests in the VIP rooms had already seen Zhou Chen.

“No need for formalities. Tell me, Fairy Yu Jiao, how do you plan to welcome me?”

Zhou Chen smiled, leaning close to her ear, inhaling the virginal fragrance emanating from her body, and whispered, “A welcome with open legs?”

“As long as Holy Son Zhou is pleased, I am willing to do anything!”

Fairy Yu Jiao’s jade-like face flushed crimson, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, yet also with a hint of boldness and passion.

The holy and unattainable fairy in the eyes of others was humble and flattering before Zhou Chen.

Just like those glamorous celebrities on stage, behind the scenes, they’re nothing more than playthings in the hands of powerful figures.

“Go back to your room and get ready for me!”

Zhou Chen pinched Fairy Yu Jiao’s delicate cheek and vanished before her surprised gaze.

“Holy Son Zhou is going to favor me!”

Fairy Yu Jiao was overwhelmed with excitement and joy.

“I must seize this opportunity!”

Fairy Yu Jiao hurried back to her room to wash up and prepare.

One must strive for a lifetime.

To please you for a single day.

As long as she pleased Holy Son Zhou, she could escape White Jade Capital. Even becoming a bed warmer was better than being the top courtesan here.

The top courtesan might seem glamorous, but in the eyes of powerful nobles, she was still just a plaything.

After her value was drained, she would be auctioned off like a dish, to be played with by the highest bidder.

…

Deep within White Jade Capital, in a luxurious hall, Zhou Chen’s figure slowly materialized.

“This old man, Yin Tian Kong, greets Holy Son Zhou. Welcome to White Jade Capital!”

A robust old man with white hair and beard but rosy skin appeared before Zhou Chen, bowing with cupped hands.

“No need for formalities, Elder Yin. I was just feeling restless and came out for some fun!”

Zhou Chen smiled, observing Yin Tian Kong.

The management of the Unbounded Sword Sect was primarily divided into Sect Master, Vice Sect Master, Grand Elders, Law Enforcement Elders, Inner Sect Elders, Outer Sect Elders, and Stewards.

Sect Master Lin Nan Tian was the previous Holy Son. Zhou Chen didn’t know his exact cultivation level, but it was at least at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm, possibly even higher. He was undoubtedly very powerful.

There was no need to mention Vice Sect Master Huangfu Yue Yao.

Grand Elder Nan Gong Lie was also at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm. When Zhou Chen had first joined the Unbounded Sword Sect, Nan Gong Lie had taken the opportunity to challenge Huangfu Yue Yao. He was a senior to Huangfu Yue Yao.

The Law Enforcement Elder was similar in strength to the Grand Elder.

The Inner Sect Elders were all experts in the Divine Ability Realm, with the potential to break through to even higher realms.

The Outer Sect Elders had barely reached the Divine Ability Realm, their potential exhausted.

The distinction between Inner and Outer Sect Elders was based on strength and potential, not simply on whether an outer sect disciple had broken through.

Those who could reach the Divine Ability Realm could never be outer sect disciples.

Because those with the potential to reach the Divine Ability Realm would have already been promoted to inner sect disciples.

Stewards were divided into three ranks: black iron, silver, and gold, corresponding to the Divine Sea, Nascent Soul, and Divine Seed Realms, respectively.

The middle-aged scholar was the lowest-ranking black iron steward, his cultivation at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm.

In the Unbounded Sword Sect, only those in the Divine Ability Realm could be called elders.

Every elder in the Unbounded Sword Sect was a powerful figure, even the Outer Sect Elders.

However, the true foundation of the Unbounded Sword Sect lay in those who were in secluded cultivation, rarely involved in worldly affairs. Ninety-nine percent of them were above the Divine Ability Realm.

The Nascent Soul, after nine revolutions, transforms into a Yuan Foundation.

The Yuan Foundation is like soil, nurturing the Divine Seed, which is the Divine Seed Realm.

The Divine Seed takes root and sprouts in the Yuan Foundation soil, transforming into a Divine Tree, which bears Supernatural Abilities, leading to the Divine Ability Realm.

Each branch and leaf on the Divine Tree represents a Supernatural Ability.

The taller the Divine Tree, the more branches and leaves it has, and the more Supernatural Abilities it possesses.

The larger the Divine Tree, the thicker its branches and leaves, and the stronger its Supernatural Abilities.

How tall and thick a tree can grow depends not only on its species but also on the Yuan Foundation soil.

The larger and more fertile the Yuan Foundation soil, the taller and larger the Divine Tree will naturally be.

The Yuan Foundation is formed from the Nascent Soul, which is condensed from Divine Power in the Divine Sea, and the size of the Divine Sea depends on the strength of Body Refinement.

This is how foundation and potential are intertwined from beginning to end.

For example, if Long Jing Yun of the Blazing Dragon Valley had received the resources and training of the Unbounded Sword Sect from a young age, he might have even reached the Divine Ability Realm.

But in the Blazing Dragon Valley, even reaching the Divine Seed Realm was extremely difficult.

Cultivation depends not only on talent but also on resources.

Resources are not just limited to elixirs and medicines, but also include cultivation techniques, guidance from experts, and so on.

All the materials and knowledge needed for cultivation are resources.

Yin Tian Kong before him had only cultivated two Supernatural Abilities. His foundation was insufficient to nurture more, and without a great opportunity, this was as far as he could go.

“Please enjoy yourself, Holy Son. May I ask if you need us to keep your visit confidential?”

Yin Tian Kong inquired respectfully.

Although he was in the Divine Ability Realm, Zhou Chen’s status and position were far beyond his. Surpassing him in the future would be a piece of cake, so he didn’t dare to offend him.

Unless he didn’t want to stay in the Unbounded Sword Sect anymore.

“No need. I didn’t intend to hide my identity. I just didn’t want to be surrounded by crowds, so I used a simple disguise.”

Zhou Chen smiled. Visiting a brothel wasn’t something to be ashamed of, especially since his reputation for being a womanizer had already spread far and wide.

“I’m just here to visit Elder Yin. Everything can proceed as usual!”

“Yes, Holy Son Zhou!”

Zhou Chen nodded and disappeared.

Watching Zhou Chen leave, Yin Tian Kong straightened up and said faintly, “It seems it’s time for the backup courtesans of White Jade Capital to make their debut!”

He had heard about Zhou Chen. This batch of courtesans was definitely going to be thoroughly enjoyed by him.

But it didn’t matter.

White Jade Capital had no shortage of beautiful women.

He had a second batch, a third batch, a fourth batch… all ready.

…

Yu Jiao Pavilion.

Inside Fairy Yu Jiao’s fragrant chamber, mist swirled as her jade-like body soaked in a bathtub filled with flower petals.

A delicate, white arm slowly lifted, a crystal-clear water droplet falling onto her fair collarbone, sliding down, about to disappear into the valley between her breasts.

Buzz!
A figure slowly materialized before the bathtub.

Fairy Yu Jiao was startled, instinctively covering her chest with her hands.

But when she saw Zhou Chen, she quickly lowered them, rising from the bathtub to bow.

Amidst the splashing water, her fair body was fully revealed before Zhou Chen’s eyes.

Her slender waist stretched, her long legs pressed together, leaving no gap in between.

Her white arms lifted slightly, resting on her lower abdomen as she bowed to Zhou Chen: “This servant greets Holy Son Zhou.”

Fairy Yu Jiao was poised and elegant.

The stark contrast between the snowy white skin and the light pink of her nipples was like a red plum blossom blooming proudly amidst the snow, standing tall on a branch.

“No need for formalities!”

Zhou Chen held Fairy Yu Jiao’s small hand and helped her up, the rich fragrance of a woman washing over him.

“Come, let me help you!”

Zhou Chen knew he had arrived too quickly; Fairy Yu Jiao hadn’t finished washing up.

“This servant is humbled. How could I trouble Holy Son Zhou…”

“I don’t mind. What are you afraid of?”

Zhou Chen smiled and, without hesitation, helped Fairy Yu Jiao wash up.

Especially those treacherous and hidden places.

Places she usually couldn’t reach herself.

Zhou Chen naturally paid special attention to them.

His magical hands were rejuvenating, often reaching hidden spots that ordinary people couldn’t.

“Holy Son Zhou…”

Fairy Yu Jiao’s beautiful eyes welled up with moisture, her red lips slightly parted, her breath like orchids as she spoke with affection: “I want… Holy Son Zhou…”

Zhou Chen withdrew his hand, covered in warm water, and effortlessly lifted Fairy Yu Jiao, carrying her to the window.

From here, they could see the scenery outside and below.

But those outside couldn’t see inside.

It was like one-way glass.

At this moment.

Down below, the crowd was buzzing with excitement from Fairy Yu Jiao’s performance of “Butterflies Lingering on Flowers.”

“Fairy Yu Jiao’s singing and playing are truly amazing!”

“This melody should only exist in heaven; how often can mortals hear it?”

“I won’t wash my ears for a month!”

Countless guests discussed excitedly, their enthusiasm overflowing.

Even though Fairy Yu Jiao had already left, their eyes were still filled with excitement.

“You have a lot of admirers!”

Looking at the surging crowd below, Zhou Chen went straight for his two targets, round and plump, and sighed, “Actually, I’m one of them too!”

“To be favored by Holy Son Zhou is a blessing from a hundred lifetimes of cultivation for this servant.”

Fairy Yu Jiao paid no attention to the group of simps below. Her white arms rested on the railing of the viewing platform as she lowered her waist and raised her ample buttocks.

She turned her head and looked at Zhou Chen with a thousand charms.

“Please be gentle, Holy Son Zhou!”

…

In the lowest VIP room, the middle-aged scholar was still anxious and uneasy because of Zhou Chen, having no interest in the romantic atmosphere.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhou Chen didn’t seem to care about him.

He felt slightly relieved.

He looked up at the tall building opposite him, where Fairy Yu Jiao’s fragrant chamber was located. Although he couldn’t see inside, he could guess what was happening there.

He glanced disdainfully at the group of fanatics below who worshipped Fairy Yu Jiao as a goddess and sneered:

“The goddess you can’t have is already being enjoyed!”

…

“Holy Son Zhou has arrived?”

“He went to Yu Jiao’s place?”

“Yu Jiao is so lucky!”

“I heard that Holy Son Zhou enjoys at least ten women each time. Yu Jiao alone definitely won’t be enough. She just has the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first!”

“I still have a chance!”

Ordinary people in White Jade Capital didn’t know Zhou Chen had arrived, but the higher-ups and those with status and wealth knew. Not to mention the well-informed courtesans.

The courtesans were all excited.

Especially Fairy Yu Huan, who, along with Fairy Yu Jiao, presided over the Twelfth Floor.

The last time Hong Zhu came to choose women to serve Zhou Chen, she wasn’t selected, allowing Qing E to soar to success. This time, she had to seize the opportunity!

…

Yu Huan Pavilion.

Behind the red gauze curtains of the large bed in the bedroom, a stunningly beautiful woman reclined.

She wore a thin red gauze garment, revealing glimpses of her perfect body, without a trace of excess flesh.

But her curves were voluptuous and alluring.

Her skin was as white as jade, glowing with a captivating luster, her face exquisitely beautiful, her lips like pink jade.

Her captivating beauty, combined with an infinitely charming aura, emanated an inexplicable allure.

“I didn’t expect Holy Son Zhou to arrive so suddenly. If I were performing today, wouldn’t he already be favoring me?”

Fairy Yu Huan’s slender fingers gently caressed her smooth and delicate skin, her beautiful eyes filled with endless anticipation and desire.

“If I go over now, would I disturb Holy Son Zhou and make him unhappy?”

Fairy Yu Huan was conflicted.

She desperately wanted to go over immediately and serve Zhou Chen together with Yu Jiao, but she was worried about ruining the opportunity and disturbing his enjoyment, making it a loss instead of a gain.

“Come here.”

Zhou Chen’s voice suddenly rang in her mind. Although it was the first time Fairy Yu Huan heard his voice.

She was certain it must be Zhou Chen speaking!

“Yes, Holy Son Zhou!”

Fairy Yu Huan didn’t hesitate for a moment. She only put on a robe over her alluring body clad in red gauze and hurried towards Fairy Yu Jiao’s chamber.

Since Zhou Chen had come, he naturally wanted to enjoy himself to the fullest.

One Fairy Yu Jiao wasn’t enough.

Even ten wouldn’t be enough.

He wanted to conquer all thirty-five!
In just a moment.

Fairy Yu Huan arrived at the room and casually took off her robe, revealing her alluring body in the thin red gauze.

“Not bad!”

Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up. Fairy Yu Huan was very much to his liking.

Not just Fairy Yu Huan.

None of the thirty-six courtesans of White Jade Capital were unattractive. Each had her own unique charm, and every one of them was to Zhou Chen’s taste.

Buzz!
A fragrant breeze wafted over as Fairy Yu Huan came to Zhou Chen’s side and bowed gracefully: “This servant, Yu Huan, greets Holy Son Zhou!”

She couldn’t help but glance at the two who were still entangled, her heart skipping a beat.

“Holy Son Zhou is indeed worthy of his title. He is truly gifted, unprecedentedly powerful, and utterly amazing!”

She felt that if it were just her alone.

She might die.

“Rise.”

Zhou Chen reached out with one hand to help Fairy Yu Huan up, pulling her closer as he slid his other hand beneath her red gauze.

He certainly wouldn’t make Fairy Yu Huan wait.

It was just the right time to impart his secret technique—Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand.

“Thank you, Holy Son Zhou, for your guidance…”

…

As time passed, the news of Zhou Chen’s arrival at White Jade Capital spread rapidly.

Zhou Chen hadn’t deliberately tried to conceal his presence, so the news naturally couldn’t be kept secret.

In less than half a day.

All the patrons in the five cities of the Twelfth Floor of White Jade Capital knew that Zhou Chen had come.

In an instant.

Only one thought remained in their minds:
The wolf has come!
A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat.

They were dogs, but they couldn’t even get scraps.

“Alas!”

“It’s over! My goddess is gone!”

“The goddess has become a woman!”

“Fairy Yu Jiao’s performance just now, could it be her swan song? I’m afraid we’ll never hear it again!”

“Indeed!”

Countless patrons lamented, heartbroken. With Zhou Chen’s status, after enjoying those courtesans, he could easily keep them as his own without spending much money.

They would definitely never see them again!
From now on, their goddesses would be Zhou Chen’s exclusive possessions.

Everyone anxiously awaited further news.

Even if they didn’t care personally, gossiping was still entertaining.

“Latest news! Latest news!”

“Holy Son Zhou has conquered the Twelfth Floor! Fairy Yu Jiao and Fairy Yu Huan suffered a crushing defeat, utterly routed!”

“Big news! Big news!”

“Holy Son Zhou has conquered the Eleventh Floor! Fairy Yu Feng and Fairy Yu Yan were defeated, their armor scattered and their formations broken!”

…

“Shocking! Holy Son Zhou has swept through the Twelfth Floor! Fairy Bi Xia and Fairy Zi Xia collapsed, vomiting blood and falling unconscious!”

“Breaking news! Breaking news!”

“Holy Son Zhou has conquered the Five Cities! Fairy Fei Yan, Fairy Yi Guang, and Fairy Wu Gou were defeated, spitting blood and surrendering, begging for mercy!”

“Alas!”

“It’s over, the thirty-five courtesans of White Jade Capital have been completely vanquished!”

“It’s alright, one batch is gone, another will come!”

“Wildfires can’t burn them all, the spring wind will bring them back to life!”

…

For seven consecutive days.

If North Mountain City had trending topics, the news of Zhou Chen single-handedly conquering the five cities of the Twelfth Floor of White Jade Capital would undoubtedly dominate the top ten!

The hottest topic these days was Zhou Chen’s decisive battle against White Jade Capital, facing off against the thirty-five courtesans alone.

…

White Jade Capital.

In the most luxurious room on the top floor of the central building, Zhou Chen stood proudly by the window in a bathrobe, overlooking the surroundings.

Behind him lay a scene of alluring chaos, a scattering of jade-like bodies.

If anyone were to see this, they would immediately recognize.

All thirty-five courtesans of White Jade Capital were present.

“Seven days, an average increase of ten million Romance Points per day!”

Zhou Chen felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Adding to the Romance Points he had gained from his beautiful master in the ancient cave, as well as those from Qing Yu Yao, Hong Zhu, and Qing E after returning.

He had now broken through one hundred million!
“Add points!”

Zhou Chen didn’t hesitate.

The next moment.

Zhou Chen’s aura surged, his Nascent Soul spinning rapidly, shrinking even further, but the Divine Power it contained had undergone a tremendous increase in both quality and quantity.

“Nascent Soul, Third Revolution!”

Huangfu Yue Yao’s figure materialized, glancing indifferently at the scene of alluring chaos behind Zhou Chen. She was very satisfied with his progress.

Although this special talent was somewhat improper, as long as it was useful, it didn’t matter.

“Beautiful Master, I need your help with my cultivation!”

Zhou Chen opened his arms and embraced her.

“Don’t be impudent!”

Raising a hand to push Zhou Chen’s head away, Huangfu Yue Yao glared at him fiercely. Weren’t those courtesans enough for him to play with?

Always thinking about betraying his master and ancestors!

What a little rascal.

“Beautiful Master, I plan to participate in the Genius Martial Arts Tournament and marry Jian Xiong, the Eldest Princess.”

Zhou Chen didn’t continue his advances, changing the subject instead.

The powerful figures of the Unbounded Sword Sect should be aware of his relationship with Jian Xiong, at least Fairy Zi Qing definitely knew.

He had attracted Fairy Zi Qing to Quan Tian Prefecture in Qingzhou when he condensed the Great Dao Golden Core.

Fairy Zi Qing hadn’t returned to the Purple Firmament Palace afterward but went to the Azure Cloud Sect to observe Zhou Chen cultivating the Five Emperors Five Elements Art. As a result, she discovered that Zhou Chen was the exceptional prodigy who had condensed the Great Dao Golden Core.

Later, when Zhou Chen went to the Heavenly Sword Sect to meet Jian Xiong secretly, Fairy Zi Qing must have noticed.

“If you want to go, then go. Your grand-aunt and I will accompany you!”

Huangfu Yue Yao wasn’t surprised.

She had known about this for a long time.

Although the imperial family and the sects might have their conflicts, it wasn’t a life-or-death struggle. Especially with a sect of the Unbounded Sword Sect’s scale, the imperial family wouldn’t dare to completely break off relations.

In essence, the imperial family was also a sect.

Just the largest sect in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Conversely, the sects like the Unbounded Sword Sect could be seen as feudal lords.

The Unbounded Sword Sect was equivalent to one of the most powerful feudal lords.

There had long been a complex and intertwined relationship between the two.

“Thank you, Beautiful Master!”

Zhou Chen was overjoyed.

Huangfu Yue Yao didn’t stay long, disappearing from the spot.

She was afraid of Zhou Chen making advances towards her.

Especially with his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand. If he hit her vital points, it would be difficult for her to resist, and she would be humiliated.

Zhou Chen felt a bit regretful, but there was plenty of time. He would eventually find a way to completely conquer his beautiful master.

He didn’t stay in White Jade Capital for long.

Zhou Chen packed up all thirty-five courtesans and brought them back to Red Dust Peak. Along with Fairy Qing E, he had captured all thirty-six courtesans of White Jade Capital.

Thirty-six courtesans, enough to form a small Heaven Rank squad!
There were still two months until the Genius Martial Arts Tournament.

Zhou Chen wasn’t in a hurry.

He spent his days cultivating with the women, while also reading books to expand his knowledge and understanding.

Knowledge is power.

It wasn’t just a saying.

Back when he was trapped in the Great Heavenly Fury Formation, if he hadn’t accumulated knowledge about array formations, even with his Romance Points, he wouldn’t have been able to escape!
“Holy Son Zhou is truly diligent!”

Fairy Yu Huan sat on Zhou Chen’s lap, her legs spread wide, looking at him as he continued to read, her flushed face filled with admiration and adoration.

Her eyes were practically dripping with desire.

“I enjoy swimming in the ocean of knowledge.”

Zhou Chen shifted his hips, smiling, “It’s the driving force behind the advancement of human civilization!”

“Holy Son Zhou is so wise!”

Fairy Yu Jiao, who was beside them, chimed in agreement.

Fairy Yu Huan squatted even lower.

“Knowledge is boundless and endless. The deeper you delve, the more you can feel its vastness and depth…”

The book in Zhou Chen’s hand was “Great Qian Magazine: Insights and Observations.”

As long as one has sages in their heart, everything they see reflects the principles of spring and autumn.

Zhou Chen felt his hand was a bit dry, making it difficult to turn the pages, so he reached into Fairy Yu Jiao’s gauze skirt beside him.

…

One month later.

Zhou Chen, well-versed in literature, set off for Qian Du, the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, with Qing Yu Yao and Hong Zhu, accompanied by Fairy Zi Qing and his beautiful master.

The Great Qian Genius Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin!

“Jian Xiong…”

Zhou Chen missed her dearly!

And her aunt.
