Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 29

Chapter 29: A Sensation Throughout the City

“Add points!”

In an instant.

Zhou Chen felt as if he had diligently practiced the Three Harmonies Saber technique for ten years. His muscles trembled, his saber movements became skillful, and his Qi and blood surged once again. His strength skyrocketed.

It was equivalent to completing the Flesh Tempering stage of another martial art, the Three Harmonies Saber, and advancing to the third level of Body Refinement. The benefits of the two techniques stacking were obvious.

However, it wasn’t a simple one plus one equals two, or even three.

His Yi’s Archery had already completed the Flesh Tempering stage, breaking through the 20,000-jin mark at that time. Now, with another low-level martial art completing Flesh Tempering, the increase, though not small, was limited.

Zhou Chen assessed himself, estimating an increase of around 5,000 jin.

But his body had become even stronger and more perfect. It was as if his body, already tempered into fine iron, had been hammered and refined once more.

Naturally, this refinement wouldn’t cause a qualitative change in the fine iron, but it did make his body even stronger.

Zhou Chen reorganized his personal panel according to his thoughts:
【Wind and Moon Mirror】

【Master: Zhou Chen】

【Cultivation Methods: Yi’s Archery （Level 3） （2018/4000）, Three Harmonies Saber （Level 3） （0/400）】

【Realm: Body Refinement （Level 3） （Tendon Tempering）】

【Supernatural Ability: Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand】

【Medicine Recipes: Yang Ding Tian】

【Romance Points: 0】

The Three Harmonies Saber in the skill section referred to saber techniques. Although he could add points to it, it wasn’t necessary.

Because cultivating the technique itself involved a process of practicing saber techniques, as long as he added points to the cultivation method, the saber techniques would improve alongside.

Yi’s Archery was the same.

“I’m cultivating two techniques, one of which is a high-level technique. Even if I encounter a fourth-level Body Refinement expert, I should be able to put up a fight!”

Feeling the explosive power contained within his body, Zhou Chen’s confidence soared, his heart filled with ambition.

Generally, cultivation methods didn’t clash with each other.

Qi and blood had no attributes.

Theoretically, the more martial arts one cultivated, the stronger they would naturally become. However, no one would do that, as it was purely a waste of effort.

Zhou Chen could add points, but if someone else wanted to cultivate the Three Harmonies Saber to the third level, who knew how much time and energy it would take.

Wouldn’t it be better to use that energy to push their primary martial art to a higher realm?

Overwhelming strength through a higher realm was much faster than cultivating multiple martial arts.

Unless someone couldn’t progress further in their primary martial art, they wouldn’t cultivate other techniques.

Generally, people focused on one primary martial art, and at most, they would practice the techniques and movements of other martial arts to enhance their combat abilities.

“How do you feel about the Three Harmonies Saber?”

Zhang Long approached from afar, looking at the secret manual in Zhou Chen’s hand.

“It’s very good!”

Zhou Chen replied without hesitation.

This was created by the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. Could he say it was bad while relying on him for his livelihood?

Zhang Long thought Zhou Chen’s current martial art was not that great, so he felt the Three Harmonies Saber was good.

Of course.

The Three Harmonies Saber itself was indeed good.

He looked at Zhou Chen and said earnestly:

“You should understand that low-level martial arts can’t reach the seventh level of Body Refinement, and mid-level martial arts can’t reach the ninth level.”

“If you don’t have a follow-up mid-level or high-level martial art, then I suggest you cultivate the Three Harmonies Saber. Its subsequent techniques are relatively easy to find, they are publicly available, and they are directly related, making cultivation much easier!”

“If you find other follow-up techniques that don’t match, then cultivation will be twice as difficult!”

“Thank you for your guidance, sir, I understand!”

Zhou Chen knew Zhang Long meant well. After all, Zhang Long didn’t know he had a high-level martial art.

“You’re welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!”

Zhang Long patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder, his face full of generosity.

“Okay, I won’t hesitate to ask if I have any questions!”

Zhou Chen smiled.

Could he tell Zhang Long that his mastery of the Three Harmonies Saber was already no less than his own?

Zhang Long had his own matters to attend to and also needed to cultivate. Seeing that Zhou Chen had no questions, he turned and left.

Zhou Chen made an excuse to go out on patrol and left the county yamen.

He didn’t dare practice his saber techniques in the training grounds of the yamen. He would scare everyone.

His job as a constable was actually quite leisurely. The Qing He County Yamen had three hundred constables, two hundred of whom were responsible for city defense, and the remaining one hundred were responsible for maintaining public order and patrolling.

As a second-level Body Refinement martial artist, Zhou Chen could directly become a captain, leading fifty constables.

However, there were no vacancies, so Zhou Chen could only be a commander without any soldiers.

But this way, he also enjoyed a lot of free time.

Zhou Chen ate candied hawthorns, strolled around the city, and arrived at the Yang Ding Tian shop.

“Brother Chen, we’re running out of medicine. We’ll be sold out by noon at the latest!”

Er Ma Zi hurriedly stepped forward to report.

“Close up shop once we’re sold out.”

Zhou Chen didn’t expect business to be so good. It seemed he needed to make more medicine.

As expected.

Half an hour later, Yang Ding Tian was sold out. Ye Gou quickly said with a fawning smile:
“Don’t worry, everyone, we’ll have more tomorrow!”

“Come back tomorrow, everyone. We’re closing for today!”

After sending away the customers who couldn’t buy the medicine, Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi came to Zhou Chen and counted the day’s earnings.

“Brother Chen, including the five taels and three mace we sold at Snow Moon Workshop last night, the total is sixty-four taels and nine mace.”

Ye Gou’s face was full of excitement.

He had never seen so much money before.

“Hmm, good job!”

Zhou Chen nodded slightly and said:

“Do you know how to keep accounts?”

“Uh… no…”

The two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment. They were just two thugs, no different from ordinary commoners. They were illiterate and couldn’t even read, let alone keep accounts.

“If you want to go far, you still need to learn to read and write.”

Zhou Chen gave them a simple reminder, took out two taels of silver and tossed them one tael each: “This is a reward for your performance last night and today!”

“Brother Chen, we will definitely study hard. Please give us another chance…”

The two knelt down, thinking that Zhou Chen no longer wanted them.

“Alright, I didn’t say I didn’t want you. This is just a reward for you!”

Zhou Chen glanced at the two of them indifferently, then picked up the account book and started recording the accounts.

“Thank you, Brother Chen!”

“Thank you, Brother Chen!”

The two repeatedly expressed their gratitude. Looking at Zhou Chen keeping accounts, they secretly resolved to learn to read and write.

“Take ten taels of silver and buy these medicinal herbs.”

Zhou Chen wrote a list and handed it to them.

It listed the medicinal herbs needed for Yang Ding Tian and some tonic medicine.

The tonic medicine was not only to confuse people but also for Zhou Chen to consume himself.

Although he could add points to improve.

He could also train himself.

And training himself required tonic medicine.

The saying “poor scholars and rich warriors” wasn’t just a saying.

“Yes, Brother Chen!”

The two immediately went to buy medicinal herbs.

Zhou Chen pondered his future plans. He could have Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi grind the large quantities of medicinal herbs into powder.

He only needed to master the core formula.

When the two returned with the medicinal herbs, Zhou Chen asked them to buy various pharmaceutical tools and order a large batch of small medicine bottles.

There were many things to do when opening a new shop.

However, once things were on track and he had a system in place, he wouldn’t need to be so busy anymore.

The day came to an end.

The news that Zhou Chen had sold out all three hundred bottles of Yang Ding Tian in one morning spread throughout Qing He City. Yang Ding Tian became a complete sensation.

That night.

Snow Moon Workshop was packed. Hong Jie was so happy she couldn’t close her legs, and her mouth was practically watering.

The same went for the girls, who were even more exhausted!
