Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Becoming a Disciple of Azure Cloud, Entering the Salt Gang at Night

“Body Refinement, Seventh Level!”

Zhou Chen clenched his fists. Now, he could be considered to have stepped into the later stages of Body Refinement.

The seventh level of Body Refinement uses inner energy to temper the five viscera and six bowels, referred to as Internal Organ Tempering.

The viscera and bowels are fragile, but after Internal Organ Tempering, not only does one’s stamina surge, but the physical body becomes even more robust, with a greatly increased ability to withstand blows.

Thump, thump, thump!

Before Zhou Chen could fully experience the power of the seventh level of Body Refinement, he heard someone knocking on the courtyard gate.

“I’ll go!”

Zhou Chen immediately stopped Qin Hong Yu. He had already sensed the visitor’s aura.

Li Lang, or rather, Li Chang Feng!

The courtyard gate opened, and a charming figure in white stood at the entrance, followed by an aloof and domineering woman.

She was dressed in black, carrying a large bow on her back, with a tall and slender figure, an ample bosom, and a slender waist. However, despite her slender waist, it exuded strength.

Especially those long legs.

Zhou Chen felt like they could crush him.

“So it’s Brother Li.”

Zhou Chen, with a warm smile, gestured with his hand:
“Please come in, both of you.”

Li Chang Feng and Li Chang Hen entered the house and looked around Zhou Chen’s home.

“You’ve cultivated Yi’s Archery?”

Li Chang Feng suddenly asked, his gaze sharp as he questioned Zhou Chen.

“How did Brother Li know?”

Zhou Chen feigned surprise, staring at Li Chang Feng.

“Stealing and learning the secret martial arts of the Azure Cloud Sect is a crime punishable by death!”

A powerful aura suddenly emanated from Li Chang Feng, instantly immobilizing Qin Hong Yu, who had intended to come over and see what was happening, rendering her unable to move or speak.

Zhou Chen’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly understood that Li Chang Feng was trying to intimidate him.

Zhou Chen said righteously:

“I didn’t steal and learn it! My master passed it down to me!”

“Who is your master?”

Li Chang Feng questioned.

Based on the information he had gathered.

Zhou Chen’s master, Old Man Cao, didn’t know Yi’s Archery, but he might have obtained a fragment of the secret manual.

Just as Li Chang Feng was pondering, Zhou Chen bowed deeply:

“Master, please accept this disciple’s bow!”

Li Chang Feng was taken aback, and a smile appeared on his previously stern face.

“Good lad, you’re quite clever!”

He withdrew his aura and said with a chuckle, “You guessed my identity long ago?”

“How is that possible? This disciple only learned of Master’s identity when you revealed it just now!”

Zhou Chen said with a look of remorse, sighing:

“This disciple truly has eyes but fails to recognize a true hero! If I had known Master’s identity earlier, I would have clung to your leg and begged to become your disciple back at the Snow Moon Workshop!”

“Smooth talker!”

Li Chang Hen curled her lip. In her eyes, Zhou Chen was full of lies, and few of his words were true.

“This must be the stunning and renowned Senior Sister.”

Zhou Chen looked at Li Chang Hen and said excitedly, “To see Senior Sister’s beauty today is truly breathtaking, leaving me speechless and unforgettable!”

“Flattery!”

Slap!

Li Chang Feng reached out and slapped Zhou Chen on the head, scolding him with a smile, “You’re even flirting with your Senior Sister! Don’t rabbits avoid eating the grass near their burrows?”

“Master, you’ve wronged me! I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart!”

Zhou Chen looked aggrieved. What did he mean by “rabbits don’t eat the grass near their burrows”? Shouldn’t it be “keep the good stuff within the family”?

“Stop your nonsense!”

Li Chang Feng glared at Zhou Chen and casually grabbed his shoulder, squeezing it.

Hiss!

Zhou Chen gasped, feeling like his body was about to fall apart.

“Not bad, not bad! I didn’t expect you to reach the seventh level of Body Refinement through self-cultivation, and your foundation is quite solid!”

Li Chang Feng was increasingly satisfied. Zhou Chen’s talent and comprehension surpassed his expectations, not inferior to Li Chang Hen, who possessed an innate Arrow Spirit Body.

“You’ve also cultivated immortal techniques and reached the fourth level of Qi Refinement. It seems your spiritual root is quite good!”

Li Chang Feng carefully examined Zhou Chen and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise:
“It’s actually a Five Elements Spiritual Root?”

“How could a Five Elements Spiritual Root cultivate so quickly? And he’s cultivating both immortal and martial paths…”

Li Chang Feng was puzzled and looked at Zhou Chen.

“Master, I found a cave dwelling while hunting before and obtained immortal techniques. However, my cultivation speed wasn’t fast. Later, I ate a red fruit, and my cultivation surged!”

Zhou Chen had already prepared an explanation.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Chang Feng didn’t doubt him. This explanation was reasonable.
There were many natural treasures that could enhance cultivation. Zhou Chen was born a hunter and often hunted in the mountains and forests. It wasn’t impossible for him to have encountered one by chance.

Moreover, Zhou Chen’s background was clean, and he had investigated Old Man Cao’s identity as well. The origin of Yi’s Archery wasn’t a problem.

“The Five Elements Spiritual Root cultivates very slowly and consumes a lot of resources. Generally, immortal sects don’t accept disciples with Five Elements Spiritual Roots.”

Li Chang Feng looked at Zhou Chen and solemnly advised:

“The Martial Path is not weaker than the Immortal Path. You have extraordinary talent in the Martial Path. Don’t neglect your foundation for the sake of the branches. Focus your efforts on Yi’s Archery in the future, cultivate diligently, and your future will be limitless.”

“Yes, this disciple will remember your teachings!”

Zhou Chen said respectfully.

But he would definitely continue cultivating immortal techniques.

He would cultivate secretly.

As long as his progress in the Martial Path was fast, Li Chang Feng wouldn’t mind.

However, Li Chang Feng was able to discover his cultivation level and his cultivation of immortal techniques just by grabbing him. It seemed he needed to find a more powerful concealment technique.

“You must have heard some news about the Divine Arrow Peak of the Azure Cloud Sect. I am Li Chang Feng, the Peak Master of Divine Arrow Peak, and this is your Senior Sister, Li Chang Hen.”

Li Chang Feng introduced them briefly:

“Now, with you, our Divine Arrow Peak has only three people.”

“So I’m the Senior Brother!”

Zhou Chen chuckled.

Li Chang Hen glared at Zhou Chen, but what he said seemed to be true.

She was the Senior Sister.

Zhou Chen was the Senior Brother.

“Each peak of the Azure Cloud Sect has four True Inheritance Disciple slots, but they’re not completely fixed. Since you’ve become my disciple and reached the seventh level of Body Refinement, you can become a True Inheritance Disciple.” Li Chang Feng looked at Zhou Chen:

“Prepare yourself, and in three days, follow me back to the Azure Cloud Sect to be promoted to True Inheritance Disciple!”

“Yes, Master!”

Zhou Chen nodded and immediately took out his second-tier Soul Chaser Bow from his storage pouch. Looking at Li Chang Feng, he said pitifully:

“Master, look, this disciple has already reached the seventh level of Body Refinement, yet I’m still using a measly second-tier bow. It’s embarrassing for Master!”

A good bow would greatly enhance his strength. Zhou Chen wanted to deal with those two old guys, Bai Gui Nong and Wang Kang An, before leaving.

A gentleman never forgets a grudge.

Liu Ru Yi was now his woman, and she had been bullied to the point of self-destruction. He had to avenge her.

Li Chang Feng seemed to see through Zhou Chen’s thoughts.

He had already learned everything about what had happened in Qing He City.

Bai Ru Yun was definitely killed by Zhou Chen.

Once the news of him taking Zhou Chen as his disciple spread, the Salt Gang would also know that it was Zhou Chen who did it.

He hadn’t suspected Zhou Chen before because Zhou Chen’s strength was insufficient.

“You’re really not holding back!”

Li Chang Feng chuckled and casually took out a longbow with a black body:
“This bow is called Sunset, a fourth-tier divine weapon. It was once used by your master!”

“You’re lucky!”

Zhou Chen excitedly took the Sunset Bow. The feeling in his hand was completely different, like the difference between touching toilet paper and touching a wad of cash.

Compared to this Sunset Bow, his Soul Chaser Bow felt like trash.

A fourth-tier divine bow, even Divine Power Realm experts could use it.

He had thought that getting a third-tier treasure bow would be good enough, but he didn’t expect Li Chang Feng to be so generous.

It was worth treating him at the Snow Moon Workshop!
“Thank you, Master!”

Zhou Chen quickly expressed his gratitude, unable to put down the Sunset Bow.

Immediately after.

Zhou Chen felt a jealous gaze.

Li Chang Hen recalled that she had only received a third-tier treasure bow back then. Her current fourth-tier longbow, Cold Moon, was something she had worked hard to obtain.

Favoritism!

“Alright, I’ll come find you in three days!”

After saying that, Li Chang Feng gracefully departed.

“Senior Sister, come in and have a seat!”

Zhou Chen looked at Li Chang Hen and invited her warmly.

“I won’t disturb Junior Brother!”

Li Chang Hen turned around and said indifferently:
“You should spend time with your wife!”

Zhou Chen: “…”

Looking at Li Chang Hen’s disappearing graceful figure, Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed: “Master is truly improper. He’s even corrupted Senior Sister!”

Her innuendos were even bolder than his!
“Brother Chen, you’re amazing!”

Qin Hong Yu came back to her senses and threw herself into Zhou Chen’s arms, tightly hugging his neck.

She hadn’t expected Zhou Chen to have already reached the seventh level of Body Refinement.

And he had become a disciple of Li Chang Feng, the Peak Master of Divine Arrow Peak at the Azure Cloud Sect.

During this time, as Zhou Chen learned about the Azure Cloud Sect, she had also heard what kind of existence the Azure Cloud Sect was.

It was the supreme overlord of Yun Meng and Qing Yun Prefectures. In these two prefectures, its influence was even greater than that of the imperial court!

He had truly soared to great heights!

“I’m even more amazing than that!”

Holding Qin Hong Yu’s voluptuous and alluring body, Zhou Chen’s heart burned with passion as he carried her ample hips and strode into the room.

Putting Qin Hong Yu down, Zhou Chen wrapped his arms around her smooth waist and turned her around so that she was facing away from him, her hands resting on the railing.

“Don’t, it’s not dark yet… mm…”

Zhou Chen didn’t say anything.

He had things to do after dark.

Night fell.

All was silent.

Zhou Chen looked at Qin Hong Yu, who was sound asleep in his arms, and quietly slipped away.

He changed his clothes, put on a mask, and assumed the identity of Han Fei Yu. After disguising the appearance of the Sunset Bow, he quietly left his house.

“Feng Xia, Ru Yi, scout the surroundings for me!”

Zhou Chen activated his two fully automatic intelligent ‘radars’ and headed towards the Qing He branch of the Salt Gang.

During this time.

Wang Kang An had been investigating the murderer, and Bai Gui Nong had never shown his face. Zhou Chen wasn’t sure if he had left Qing He City.

But it didn’t matter.

If he was there, Zhou Chen wanted to see if Bai Gui Nong, at the ninth level of Body Refinement, could withstand an arrow fired with all his might.

If he wasn’t there, he would deal with him later.

Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi were currently cultivating their souls. The former had even reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and her divine sense far surpassed that of Bai Gui Nong at the ninth level of Body Refinement.

Although the ninth level of Body Refinement involved refining the spirit, it was only a crude refinement. How could it compare to Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi, who were directly cultivating their souls?

This was Zhou Chen’s confidence in daring to assassinate someone at the Salt Gang branch.

With a radar that far surpassed others, he could attack or retreat, holding the absolute initiative.

Under the influence of Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi’s soul power, Zhou Chen moved as if in an uninhabited realm, easily infiltrating the Qing He branch of the Salt Gang!

And as Zhou Chen took action, on a rooftop, two figures stood calmly, watching him from afar.

Needless to say, it was Li Chang Feng and Li Chang Hen.

“Bai Gui Nong is still there. Even with the Sunset Bow, Junior Brother probably won’t be able to kill him, and he might even get caught!”

Li Chang Hen said indifferently.

“That kid is so cunning. Bai Gui Nong and the others used all sorts of schemes before, but he didn’t fall for any of them. He should have a trump card!”

Li Chang Feng chuckled:
“Besides, even if he gets caught, it doesn’t matter. It’ll be a good lesson for him.”

As for Zhou Chen’s safety?

With him around, there was nothing to worry about.

The corners of Li Chang Hen’s mouth curled up slightly, and she said softly, “Then I’d like to see what trump card he has that can allow him to overcome two levels and deal with Bai Gui Nong at the ninth level of Body Refinement!”
