Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Three Harmonies Saber

The night passed quietly.

The next morning.

As the sun just rose, Zhou Chen opened his eyes and, as usual, first looked at the points section of his personal panel.

【Romance Points: 650】

“Not bad, with Feng Xia’s help, I can get at least six or seven hundred every night!”

Zhou Chen was quite satisfied. With a thought, he added all the Romance Points to Yi’s Archery.

Boom.

Zhou Chen’s muscles trembled, his tendons twitched, and his blood surged, as if he had been practicing hard for years and then made a breakthrough. His physical body grew significantly.

【Realm: Body Refinement, Third Level: Tendon Tempering（2018/4000）】

“Halfway through Tendon Tempering!”

Zhou Chen felt the powerful physical body and the surge of strength, his mind intoxicated. The muscles and tendons in his arms bulged, like a coiled dragon.

But with a thought, he activated the Breath Concealment Technique, converging his aura and returning to his original appearance.

“Hmm…”

Qin Hong Yu was awakened by the aura emanating from Zhou Chen, like a giant dragon awakening. From previous experience, she knew that Zhou Chen had broken through and become stronger again.

“Brother Chen is truly a genius!”

Looking at Zhou Chen’s handsome and masculine side profile, her eyes were like water. Her fair hands gently caressed the strong and powerful muscle lines, full of infatuation.

A man’s strong muscle lines are like a woman’s full peaks, making one reluctant to let go.

Zhou Chen rubbed Qin Hong Yu’s smooth jade-like back, feeling a similar urge. But today was the opening of the shop, and he still had his work at the yamen.

He couldn’t sleep in.

Relying on his strong willpower and self-discipline, Zhou Chen got out of bed.

Qin Hong Yu helped Zhou Chen dress and wash up.

Too lazy to cook, Zhou Chen took Qin Hong Yu out to eat and to check on the shop.

He came to the noodle shop opposite his shop and found that there was already a long queue in front of the Yang Ding Tian shop. He nodded secretly:

“Not bad!”

He was very satisfied with Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi’s performance this time.

“Brother Chen, this… is this our shop?”

Qin Hong Yu’s small mouth opened wide, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

This was too popular!
“Of course it’s our shop. Didn’t I tell you it would sell well?”

Zhou Chen smiled happily. This was all white silver.

Although money is not everything.

But without money, you can do nothing.

“Brother Chen, you’re amazing!”

“Of course!”

Zhou Chen leaned into Qin Hong Yu’s ear and teased:

“If I wasn’t amazing, would Master’s Wife call me ‘daddy’?”

“Don’t say that!”

“Alright, alright. Come on, let’s eat noodles!”

Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu were eating beef noodles, and the Yang Ding Tian shop was still bustling.

Passersby stopped to watch the excitement.

“What are they selling? It’s so lively.”

“I heard that this shop is opened by Zhou Chen, the Constable Zhou. He’s selling a kind of magical medicine that all men like. You can tell just by looking at the shop name!”

“Yang Ding Tian? What a bold claim!”

“But I heard that this medicine is really powerful. Many people at Snow Moon Workshop tried it last night, and the effect is amazing!”

“I heard that it was the girls at Snow Moon Workshop who suffered!”

As more and more people gathered, the name Yang Ding Tian completely spread.

Zhang Long, along with Zhao Hu, Yang Da Li, and Yang Da Gen, the three Constables, came over while eating meat buns and drinking soy milk.

“It’s Brother Chen’s shop?”

Zhao Hu’s tiger eyes widened. They thought something had happened that attracted so many people, but they didn’t expect it was the opening of the Yang Ding Tian shop.

“How could there be so many people?”

Yang Da Li couldn’t believe it. Zhou Chen just opened the shop today, and there were so many people queuing up to buy in the morning. This wasn’t scientific.

Zhang Long casually found someone who had bought the medicine and asked, only to find out that Zhou Chen had gone to Snow Moon Workshop to advertise last night.

“I didn’t expect Brother Chen to be so good at business. It’s amazing!”

Zhao Hu and the others were amazed after hearing about what happened at Snow Moon Workshop last night.

“Awesome!”

Zhang Long was also secretly shocked. If he were to operate it, he would at most set off firecrackers to attract people and then use his name to attract customers.

While Zhou Chen only had two thugs go to Snow Moon Workshop to brag and subtly distributed the medicine, he attracted so many people.

Of course.

Zhou Chen’s powerful performance at Snow Moon Workshop also served as a gimmick.

“Could it be that Zhou Chen already had the idea of advertising when he went to Snow Moon Workshop before, so he spared no effort in tormenting the girls he was intimate with every time?”

Anyway, the more Zhang Long thought about it, the more unfathomable he felt Zhou Chen was. Whether it was dealing with people or doing business, he was sophisticated and experienced, not at all like an eighteen-year-old country bumpkin.

“This son is definitely not someone who will remain in a small pond!”

Zhang Long couldn’t help but rejoice that he had a discerning eye and had befriended Zhou Chen early on. The more powerful Zhou Chen became, the greater the benefits he would receive in the future.

Not to mention the future, looking at the popularity of this shop, it was probably making a fortune every day. And he had a forty percent share, which was also a considerable income.

It was like he had just invested and was already seeing dividends!

“Brother Long!”

Zhou Chen waved and shouted at Zhang Long.

Zhang Long turned his head and saw Zhou Chen eating noodles. He took Zhao Hu and the others over, greeted each other, and sat down to eat noodles as well.

“Congratulations Brother Chen, on your grand opening and prosperous business!”

Zhao Hu and the other two congratulated.

“This is all thanks to Brother Long’s good location for the shop, otherwise there wouldn’t be such good business!”

Zhou Chen smiled, looking humble.

“Xiao Chen, you’re too modest. This is not just a matter of location. We’ve all heard about your methods at Snow Moon Workshop last night. It was truly an eye-opener!”

Zhang Long looked at the calm and collected Zhou Chen, secretly admiring him.

As the saying goes, young people are frivolous. Many young people, after achieving a little success, their tails would stick up to the sky.

Zhou Chen’s method seemed simple, but why hadn’t others thought of it?
It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. Moreover, Zhou Chen achieved such results with only two thugs, which was a remarkable feat.

After breakfast, Zhou Chen paid the bill.

Their group walked towards the Yang Ding Tian shop.

“Lord County Captain!”

Many people recognized Zhang Long and made way for them, greeting respectfully.

“Lord County Captain, Brother Chen, Sister-in-law, you’re here!”

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, bowing and scraping, their faces full of smiles.

Zhang Long nodded slightly.

Zhou Chen nodded and encouraged them:
“Good job. I’ll give you a bonus later!”

“Thank you, Brother Chen!”

The two were overjoyed, their blood boiling.

Zhou Chen and Zhang Long’s group walked around for a while and then went to work.

Their purpose in coming here was just to let others know whose shop this was, so that no one would dare to come and extort money!
Qin Hong Yu stayed in the shop for a while and then went home to make medicine.

This was all money.

Thinking of the white silver, Qin Hong Yu was full of energy.

……

Qing He County Yamen.

Zhang Long took Zhou Chen to the County Magistrate’s Assistant to register and receive a low-level martial art.

But even among low-level martial arts, there weren’t many choices.

A saber technique, Three Harmonies Saber.

A fist technique, Three Harmonies Fist.

A finger technique, Three Harmonies Finger.

Looking at these three secret manuals, Zhou Chen was dumbfounded.

Were they obsessed with “Three Harmonies”?

“Actually, these three martial arts were created by the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. They are simplified versions of Eight Desolations Saber, Eight Desolations Fist, and Eight Desolations Finger.”

Seemingly seeing Zhou Chen’s confusion, Zhang Long explained: “If you make achievements, you can also obtain the mid-level martial arts Six Harmonies Saber, Six Harmonies Fist, and Six Harmonies Finger.”

“Even if you make great achievements, it’s not a problem to obtain Eight Desolations Saber, Eight Desolations Fist, and Eight Desolations Finger!”

“Officials of the Great Qian Dynasty who don’t have martial arts to cultivate all cultivate this!”

“I know you have martial arts to cultivate. Whether you want to cultivate these is up to you, but you are not allowed to privately teach them to others without permission from your superiors!”

“Okay!”

Zhou Chen nodded and chose Three Harmonies Saber.

He had Yi’s Archery and just lacked a close-combat martial art.

“Three Harmonies Saber is not bad. I also cultivated Three Harmonies Saber. If you have any questions, you can ask me!”

“Thank you, Lord County Captain!”

After receiving the saber technique, Zhou Chen came to the training ground of the yamen.

There were many yamen runners and constables practicing martial arts, some standing in stances, some practicing moves.

Zhou Chen found a corner and started reading Three Harmonies Saber.

In this world’s martial arts, moves were only a part of it. Both his Yi’s Archery and Three Harmonies Saber had corresponding body tempering postures.

Many martial arts could be cultivated together.

However, cultivation required a lot of effort, so most martial artists would choose one to focus on, and the others as reference and supplement.

Zhang Long didn’t know what martial arts Zhou Chen was cultivating, but it was most likely a low-level martial art.

And low-level martial arts could only be cultivated to the sixth level of Body Refinement.

In that case.

It would be better for Zhou Chen to focus on Three Harmonies Saber as soon as possible. Once he reached the sixth level of Body Refinement, he could cultivate the corresponding Six Harmonies Saber, which would be more advantageous.

But Zhou Chen wouldn’t give up Yi’s Archery.

He looked at his personal panel.

【Three Harmonies Saber, First Level（0/100）】

“So cheap?”

Zhou Chen widened his eyes. Remember, this corresponded to the first level of Body Refinement, while Yi’s Archery cost a full one thousand Romance Points.

“Could this be the difference between low-level and high-level martial arts?”

“No!”

Zhou Chen quickly realized that because he had already completed Skin Tempering, the energy consumption was greatly reduced, so the Romance Points required were much less.

If he hadn’t cultivated Yi’s Archery and was just an ordinary person, then the first level of Three Harmonies Saber would require at least five hundred Romance Points, if not one thousand.

“Add points!”

Looking at the three hundred Romance Points he had accumulated during this time, as he multitasked, his soul diligently working with Ji Feng Xia in the Wind and Moon Mirror, Zhou Chen said without hesitation.

Buzz!
As one hundred Romance Points were consumed, Zhou Chen felt as if he was holding a long saber, diligently practicing Three Harmonies Saber, one slash after another, day after day.

This day.

Under his diligent practice, Three Harmonies Saber finally broke through.

Zhou Chen felt his whole being had changed somewhat, as if he had become a saber. His skin all over felt tingly and itchy.

This feeling was familiar to him.

He had completed Skin Tempering once again.

But this time the effect wasn’t as significant as the first time. After all, he had already completed Skin Tempering and was already at Tendon Tempering.

However, with the addition of Three Harmonies Saber.

Zhou Chen could clearly feel that his defense had increased by at least ten percent, which was definitely a huge breakthrough.

His combat power had at least doubled.

“These one hundred Romance Points were well spent!”

Zhou Chen felt his body. Not only had his skin’s defense greatly increased, but his blood and Qi had also become much stronger.

Especially his saber technique had reached the Minor Achievement level.

He reached out and grasped the saber at his waist. An extremely familiar feeling surged in his heart, as if it was an extension of his arm, completely under his control.

“Now my close combat ability has skyrocketed!”

Zhou Chen was secretly delighted, looking at the changes in the panel:
【Three Harmonies Saber, Second Level（0/200）】

The joy in his eyes deepened:
“Continue, add points!”
