Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 15

Chapter 15: A Thousand Jin of Strength, Entering the City （ Three Updates, Seeking Follows ）

“Add points!”

As fourteen Romance Points were consumed, Zhou Chen felt as if he had cultivated for several months, sweating profusely every day, tirelessly practicing the body tempering postures of Yi’s Archery over and over again.

Finally.

Hard work pays off, he broke through.

Powerful Qi and blood surged within his body, like countless water snakes wildly dashing about.

His body temperature rose sharply, especially his skin, which felt like a red-hot branding iron, and also like millions of ants crawling, both painful and itchy.

Fortunately, it lasted only a short time, just a few breaths.

Zhou Chen’s whole body became warm, all the pain and itching disappeared, as if he had returned to the embryonic stage in his mother’s womb, reborn, indescribably comfortable.

His entire being seemed to be filled with strength, with endless energy!

“Body Refinement, First Level, Skin Tempering is complete!”

Excitement filled Zhou Chen’s eyes, he let out a long breath of turbid air, which condensed and did not disperse, shooting out three feet like a sharp arrow.

He drew his short saber and made a cut on his palm, it felt like cutting into a tough piece of cowhide, and also like cutting into smooth fish scales, difficult to cut through.

Zhou Chen gradually increased his strength, the tough and elastic skin was pressed down by the blade, but still did not break the skin.

“Hiss! With this defense of mine, even with a sharp weapon, ordinary people would have a hard time hurting me, is this what a Martial Artist is like? It’s truly too strong!”

At this moment, Zhou Chen truly felt the difference between a Martial Artist and an ordinary person, it was simply like two different species, incomparable.

Not only his defense, but his strength had also increased greatly.

Zhou Chen clenched his fist, at least a thousand jin of strength.

Although the Yi’s Archery he cultivated did not focus on strength, it was a high-level martial art, definitely much stronger than mid-level and low-level martial arts.

Zhou Chen raised his hands, with his keen eyesight, he felt that his arms and ten fingers seemed to have become more slender and powerful.

Martial Artists cultivate their physical bodies, and as their cultivation progresses, it also affects their physique. For example, those who cultivate strength-type martial arts mostly become broad-shouldered and sturdy.

According to the introduction, after completing the body tempering of Yi’s Archery, his entire being would undergo a transformation, evolving into a Post-Heaven Arrow Spirit Body, with long arms, a narrow waist, a slender and powerful physique, especially in the arms and abdomen.

Zhou Chen felt his own strength and was very satisfied.

He glanced at his personal panel.

The Realm column had already changed:
【Realm: Body Refinement, Second Level: Flesh Tempering （7/2000）】

“Two thousand Romance Points? That’s just a little over two months!”

This time was based on Qin Hong Yu alone.

Zhou Chen planned to go to Qing He City tomorrow.

Besides buying a bow and gathering information, he had heard that the famous Snow Moon Workshop in the city was quite interesting, he planned to go and see how interesting it was.

And by the way, explore if there were faster ways to obtain Romance Points.

“Flesh Tempering…”

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Chen focused on the second level of Body Refinement.

This level, Flesh Tempering, focuses on increasing strength.

Generally, those who succeed in Flesh Tempering can lift ten thousand jin, and their defense will also increase significantly.

From Zhou Chen’s current perspective, Zhang Long was probably at the Flesh Tempering Realm. The constables had previously said that Zhang Long was about to break through.

If he broke through, he should be at the third level of Body Refinement.

Of course.

It was difficult for ordinary people to accurately judge the Body Refinement Realm from appearance, they could only observe the physique and spirit, and make a rough guess.

“My cultivation has become stronger, but my consumption has also increased!”

As his cultivation broke through, coupled with a night of exertion, Zhou Chen’s stomach was already growling, he was starving.

Qin Hong Yu had not yet woken up, Zhou Chen did not wake her, and went to the kitchen to cook by himself! Perhaps because she was hungry, or perhaps because she smelled the aroma of meat, Qin Hong Yu woke up faintly and hurriedly got out of bed, but her whole body was sore and weak.

Looking at the messy bed, Qin Hong Yu blushed and quickly removed the sheets and quilt, preparing to wash them later.

After tidying up briefly, Qin Hong Yu came to the kitchen and saw Zhou Chen busy, she said guiltily:

“Brother Chen, why didn’t you wake me up to do it?”

As she spoke, she had already taken over the work from Zhou Chen’s hands.

“Do what?”

Zhou Chen’s eyes swept over her plump chest, his face full of mischief.

“Cook…”

Qin Hong Yu said, feeling Zhou Chen’s gaze, she understood the deeper meaning in his words:

“You bad guy, all you know is to do that all day long!” “Then I won’t do it in the future!”

“You dare!”

Qin Hong Yu blushed, unable to bear the teasing, she said angrily:

“Get out!”

Zhou Chen hugged Qin Hong Yu from behind, smiling mischievously: “It’s fine, you do yours, we won’t interfere with each other!”

Qin Hong Yu: “…”

Half an hour later.

With the efforts of Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu, the meal was finally ready.

【Romance Point +1】

“Bad guy!”

Qin Hong Yu glared at Zhou Chen:
“Go wash your hands and eat!”

“Alright!”

Zhou Chen did not delay, he was already starving.

He came to the washbasin outside, washed his face, shook off the water from his hands, and dried them with a towel before coming to the dining table.

Qin Hong Yu had already served him a bowl of rice.

Zhou Chen started eating heartily.

Qin Hong Yu did the same.

She was also hungry.

Although she had eaten some nutritious instant food, it didn’t satisfy her hunger at all, not to mention the great energy she had expended.

“I’m going to the city tomorrow to get a good bow, if you need anything, tell me and I’ll buy it for you!”

Zhou Chen said while gnawing on a deer leg.

“I don’t need anything, why don’t you buy some cloth, Brother Chen, I’ll make you some clothes!”

Qin Hong Yu didn’t want to spend money, she thought for a moment and said.

“Okay, make yourself a few sets too!”

Zhou Chen smiled, he didn’t need Qin Hong Yu to do any work, sometimes when he was not at home, Qin Hong Yu could pass the time by making clothes.

The next day.

Zhou Chen got out of bed at dawn, although he was reluctant to leave Qin Hong Yu’s warm nest, he left with strong willpower.

Qin Hong Yu had originally planned to get up early to cook for Zhou Chen, and then go to the city after eating.

Unfortunately.

After Zhou Chen’s efforts, she was still sleeping soundly, let alone getting up early to cook.

Zhou Chen didn’t bother cooking, he simply washed up, changed into some better clothes, took a short saber, and set off lightly.

Qing He City was not far from Da He Village, only ten li away.

Although Zhou Chen did not have any light body techniques, he had fast footwork, and it took him more than half an hour to arrive at Qing He City.

Qing He City was built along the Qing River, with convenient water transportation and abundant aquatic products. Although the city was not large, it was very prosperous.

Zhou Chen paid two copper coins as an entrance fee to enter the city. Although it was still early, the city was already very lively.

Vendors on both sides of the street had set up their stalls, selling all kinds of things.

There were those selling flatbreads, candied hawthorns, steamed buns, wine, and many fishmongers selling fish.

Both Da He Village and Qing He City were close to the Qing River, which connected to the Eight Hundred Li Yun Meng Marsh not far away, making the fishing industry well-developed.

Zhou Chen ate a large bowl of beef noodles and didn’t rush to buy a bow, instead, he slowly strolled around, experiencing the local customs of Qing He City.

Not long after.

Zhou Chen saw a luxuriously decorated building with the words 【Snow Moon Workshop】 written on it.

In his previous life, ancient brothels usually opened after noon, and the girls would only come out to entertain guests at night.

But it was different here.

According to his memories in this life, Old Man Cao would occasionally come here, and he would come during the day, sometimes staying here all night and only returning home the next day.

But Old Man Cao had never brought Zhou Chen here.

“Since I’m here, let’s go in and take a look!”
