Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 47

Chapter 47: First Encounter with a Big Shot

The night was like water, the bright moon hung high.
Qing He City, which was originally bustling, became quiet, only Snow Moon Workshop was still brightly lit, even livelier than during the day.

Ordinary people had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep, those with wives and maidservants, sweating profusely, sowing passion, excitedly engaging in their few recreational activities of the day.

Although Zhou Chen had already stepped out of the realm of ordinary people, his life was no different from theirs. The only difference was that he was also cultivating the Wind and Moon Secret Record.

“Ah, Brother Chen, I feel it!”

“I’ve done it!”

Qin Hong Yu exclaimed, ecstatic, her delicate body trembling slightly.

“What do you feel? What have you done?”

Zhou Chen asked curiously, his face calm.

“Of course, it’s the Qi and blood that’s done it.”

Qin Hong Yu was excited, her voice hurried:

“I feel a warm current flowing slowly in my body, so that’s what Qi and blood is.”

“Congratulations, you’ve taken the first step in the Martial Path, successfully refining Qi and blood!”

Zhou Chen smiled.

He wanted to say that the current flowing in her body was not only Qi and blood, but also possibly…

But after thinking about it, he decided not to tease her.

Qin Hong Yu had indeed refined her Qi and blood.

With the refinement of Qi and blood, her strength greatly increased, her stamina and endurance far surpassed ordinary people, and she could lift five or six hundred pounds.

Zhou Chen had contributed greatly to Qin Hong Yu being able to refine her Qi and blood so quickly, expending an unknown amount of energy.

The most important factor was still the Wind and Moon Secret Record.

After lunch today, Zhou Chen did not go to Snow Moon Workshop to dominate as usual, taking on ten opponents at once, but instead returned home to continue studying the Wind and Moon Secret Record with Qin Hong Yu.

This study lasted the entire afternoon.

Qin Hong Yu made rapid progress.

Now she had even refined her Qi and blood. If described in terms of realms, she was considered to be in the middle to late stages of the First Level of Body Refinement.

Generally speaking, the First Level of Body Refinement was only considered a martial apprentice, not a true martial artist.

Only after completing Skin Tempering and stepping into the Second Level of Body Refinement, where one’s skin was as tough as cowhide, impervious to swords and blades, and capable of lifting a thousand pounds, could one truly be considered a martial artist, able to crush a group of ordinary people single-handedly.

This was the true mark of a martial artist.

Already on a different level from ordinary people.

“Brother Chen, thank you!”

Feeling the powerful strength brought by the Qi and blood in her body, Qin Hong Yu hugged Zhou Chen tightly and gave him a passionate kiss.

“Don’t be so polite with me, let’s continue!”

“Ah, still going?”

“Don’t you want to become stronger and become a true martial artist sooner?”

“I want… yes!”

“Want what?”

“You’re so bad, always bullying me!”

……

“Why aren’t they here yet?”

At the Qing He branch of the Salt Gang, Elder Wang Kang An looked at the timer and paced back and forth, feeling that time was passing so slowly, as if each day was a year.

“Calm down!”

Bai Gui Nong held a cup of tea, took a sip, and said calmly,
“It’s still early. Many people prefer to act during the fourth watch. What are you in such a hurry for?”

“You are right, Elder. I was being impatient!”

Wang Kang An suppressed the worry in his heart and waited patiently.

Time passed little by little.

The second watch.

The third watch.

“Dry weather, be careful of fire!”

The voice of the night watchman came from afar. Even Bai Gui Nong couldn’t sit still anymore.

“Stay calm, don’t panic!”

In order to maintain the composure of a Law Enforcement Elder, he remained calm and collected, as if everything was under his control.

But his heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that the other party really wasn’t coming?
Then wouldn’t he have waited in vain?

Wang Kang An looked at the night outside, then at Bai Gui Nong, who was still calm and composed, wanting to speak but hesitating. In the end, he didn’t dare to say anything and continued to wait.

Time ticked by.

Every minute and second was a torment.

The fourth watch had passed.

Wang Kang An couldn’t help but look at Bai Gui Nong.

Bai Gui Nong took a sip of his tea and said calmly,
“Don’t worry, there’s still time. The fifth watch is often the time when people are most sleepy, and it’s also the most advantageous time for the murderer to act!”

“The murderer might be deliberately trying to wear us down!”

These words were spoken to Wang Kang An, but they were also Bai Gui Nong’s self-consolation.

“You are wise, Elder!”

Wang Kang An suppressed his impatience and remained vigilant.

But the closer they got to the end…

…the heavier the hearts of both Wang Kang An and Bai Gui Nong sank.

And the murderer they were waiting for was lying comfortably in his warm bed, carefree.

“Brother Chen, I can’t do it anymore!”

Qin Hong Yu murmured softly, her face full of exhaustion.

Zhou Chen’s heart stirred. He looked at Qin Hong Yu’s slender and graceful body and smiled:

“Alright, go to sleep.”

Zhou Chen gave her a doting kiss on the cheek and embraced her to rest.

Qin Hong Yu was really too tired, and quickly fell asleep.

Zhou Chen, however, was not sleepy. His soul entered the Wind and Moon Mirror, and saw that Liu Ru Yi had already woken up and appeared before him.

Her slender figure, cold and elegant temperament, bright eyes, coupled with the holy and noble aura after becoming a deity, made her look like a goddess from the Ninth Heaven.

A faint, feminine fragrance drifted into his nose, emitting an amazing allure.

Zhou Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to take advantage of her again.

“How is it?”

Zhou Chen held her soft hand and pulled her into his embrace. They were already so familiar with each other, knowing each other inside and out, so Zhou Chen didn’t hold back.

“I’ve comprehended a cultivation method, I named it the Azure Wood Emperor Art. Although it’s not yet complete, it’s very good!”

Liu Ru Yi raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with amazement. The Wind and Moon Illustrated Record was truly divine, she didn’t know what level of treasure it was.

Although the Azure Wood Emperor Art only revealed the cultivation methods for the Qi Refinement Realm, its power far surpassed any cultivation method she had ever seen or heard of.

After cultivating it, her life force would become incredibly strong, not to mention her recovery ability. It also had terrifying healing effects, even being able to absorb the life force of other living beings!
“I’ve also comprehended an Unparalleled Divine Art, I’ll teach it to you now!”

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, not paying much attention to the cultivation method Liu Ru Yi had comprehended because he couldn’t cultivate it himself.

The cultivation methods that Liu Ru Yi and the others comprehended from the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record were perfectly suited to their own states.

Even if Zhou Chen used Romance Points to forcefully cultivate them, the effects would be greatly diminished.

Besides, ten birds in the forest were not as good as one bird in hand. He didn’t have that many Romance Points to cultivate other methods right now, and the Azure Wood Emperor Art clearly seemed like a support-type cultivation method.

With Liu Ru Yi around to heal him at any time, why would he rush to become a healer himself?
He could do that later when he had more Romance Points.

“What Divine Art?”

Liu Ru Yi’s curiosity grew even stronger. Zhou Chen was shrouded in mystery. She had comprehended the Azure Wood Emperor Art, what kind of Divine Art had Zhou Chen comprehended?

She didn’t act coy. After being bestowed with godhood by Zhou Chen, she was completely bound to him, hers was his.

His…

…was still his.

Zhou Chen pulled her close, and Liu Ru Yi fell into his embrace.

He leaned close to her ear and said with a smile,
“This Unparalleled Divine Art, I named it the Wind and Moon Secret Record…”

As he spoke, his hand had already reached inside Liu Ru Yi’s dress.

“You liar…”

Liu Ru Yi was speechless.

As expected.

A man’s words were like a ghost’s promises.

She shouldn’t have had any expectations.

What bullshit Divine Art.

Wait, it seemed like it really was a Divine Art.

Her cultivation speed had increased.

But this Divine Art…

…was so indecent!
【Romance Points +66】

“Boom!”

An unknown amount of time later, a powerful aura suddenly surged out from Liu Ru Yi’s body.

Pop!
A sound as if something had shattered rang out within her body, and Liu Ru Yi’s cultivation level broke through.

Fifth Level of Qi Refinement.

Thanks to her comprehension of the Azure Wood Emperor Art and her diligent practice of the Wind and Moon Secret Record with Zhou Chen, with multiple buffs stacked, she was pushed to the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement by Zhou Chen in one go.

“So strong!”

Liu Ru Yi’s eyes shone brightly, feeling the surging power within her body, her gaze burning with fighting spirit.

She loved it!
Again!

……

Dawn broke.

The night had passed quietly.

Zhou Chen’s home was filled with the fragrance of spring.

The Qing He branch of the Salt Gang was peaceful.

This peace was filled with a sense of oppression.

Wang Kang An carefully glanced at Bai Gui Nong, whose face was ashen, his heart filled with trepidation.

Elder Bai had lost face this time.

The more confident he had been before, the more painful his face was now.

“Wang Kang An.”

Bai Gui Nong suddenly spoke.

“Your subordinate is here!”

“You take people to search the entire city for the murderer.”

Bai Gui Nong said coldly:

“Don’t reveal the news of my arrival. We will continue to wait for the rabbit tonight!”

“Yes!”

Wang Kang An knew that Bai Gui Nong was trying to flush out the snake.

And tonight might be their last chance.

If the snake still didn’t come out, it would be difficult for them to catch the murderer.

Wang Kang An immediately took people to search the entire city for the murderer.

They held portraits of Zhou Chen’s alias, Han Fei Yu.

When Zhou Chen had disguised himself as Han Fei Yu to buy the second-tier Soul Chaser Bow, he had attracted the attention of many people. It was impossible to keep it a secret, and the Salt Gang had long known about it.

But the Salt Gang experts also guessed that Zhou Chen had disguised himself, and it was impossible to find him with this portrait.

Now they were just putting on a show.

The purpose was to tell the murderer that the female assassin still hadn’t betrayed him, that she was deeply in love with him, and that he should hurry up and break her out of jail.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen, the murderer, had already grasped everything. No matter how hard Bai Gui Nong struggled, it was all in vain.

After breakfast, Zhou Chen went to the yamen to clock in with a spring in his step, then headed to Snow Moon Workshop.

He had been going there every day before. Now that the Salt Gang experts were here, if he didn’t go, it would arouse suspicion, especially since he was an archer.

However, because Zhou Chen was young and his cultivation level was too low, the Salt Gang members had ruled him out first.

“Oh, Master Zhou, you’re here!”

As soon as he entered Snow Moon Workshop, Madam Hong greeted him warmly,
“Why didn’t you come yesterday, Master?”

“Of course I was at home with my wife!”

Zhou Chen smiled and took out a piece of silver, stuffing it into Madam Hong’s bosom.

Madam Hong’s smile widened, and she shouted loudly, “Miao Yu, Miao Tong, Miao Yan, Miao Zhi, come out and welcome the guests, Master Zhou is here!”

Zhou Chen reached out and gave Madam Hong’s plump buttocks a hard squeeze. Just as he was about to go further, he suddenly felt a gaze directed at him.

In an instant…

…Zhou Chen felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, his body stiff, with a terrifying feeling of being stared at by a primordial beast.

A chill ran down his spine, his hair standing on end.

An expert.

A terrifying expert he had never encountered before.

“Little brother, would you like to come over for a drink?”

A gentle voice came. Zhou Chen looked up and saw a charming middle-aged man in white sitting on the second floor.

Like Gai Nie, he raised his cup and smiled faintly at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged man in white. He looked to be in his thirties, but his exact age was impossible to determine. His warm and bright eyes faintly revealed a terrifying sharpness, making Zhou Chen feel as if he had needles pricking his back.

His figure was slender, his arms also long and powerful, his fingers well-defined, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Zhou Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

“Yi’s Archery!? Arrow Spirit Body!?”

Zhou Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a guess.

Recently, he had been cramming knowledge about the Divine Arrow Peak of the Azure Cloud Sect, although he had not found a portrait of Peak Master Li Chang Feng.

But based on his feeling, this person must be Li Chang Feng, the Peak Master of Divine Arrow Peak!

Even in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he was one of the top experts!
“It would be my pleasure.”

Zhou Chen smiled faintly and walked upstairs!

“If it’s a blessing, it’s not a disaster. If it’s a disaster, you can’t avoid it!”

Zhou Chen’s heart was pounding, and he kept comforting himself.

Perhaps this was his golden opportunity!
Having drifted through life for so long without meeting a true master, if you don’t mind, I’m willing to become your adopted son, oh no, I mean, your disciple!
