Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Top Prodigy Sun Wukong, Eternal Second Place Jian Xiong

“Sect Master?”
Zhou Chen didn’t expect that Sect Master Qing Yu Yao would actually be ranked first on the Qingzhou Hundred Flowers Ranking.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Although Qing Yu Yao was the esteemed Azure Cloud Sect Master and was not young, in this extraordinary world, age had little impact on appearance.

Especially for powerful individuals.

For example, immortals who lived forever, no matter how old they were, remained eternally youthful. Although Qing Yu Yao was far from being an immortal,

she was still one of the most powerful figures in Qingzhou, a publicly acknowledged expert of the Azure Cloud Sect who had already surpassed the Divine Power Realm.

With Qing Yu Yao’s status and the extraordinary aura that came with being a powerful individual, as long as her beauty was comparable to Li Chang Hen and Shi Qing Xuan, she could easily surpass them and rank first.

“Our Azure Cloud Sect is truly blessed with abundant spiritual energy, outstanding individuals, and beautiful women.”

Zhou Chen exclaimed in admiration and asked curiously, “Are there any other beauties from our Azure Cloud Sect on the Hundred Flowers Ranking?”

“Of course.”

Ru Yan counted on her fingers and said proudly,

“Apart from the Sect Master, Senior Sister Qing Xuan, and Senior Sister Li, there’s also Peak Master Cheng Su Su from Spirit Medicine Peak, ranked fourth on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, and her disciple, Senior Sister Mu Ling Er, ranked tenth.”

“Therefore, our Azure Cloud Sect occupies five spots in the top ten of the Hundred Flowers Ranking.”

“Amazing!”

Along the way, Zhou Chen broadened his horizons, especially with countless rankings of all kinds.

The most popular ones were naturally the Prodigy Ranking and the Hundred Flowers Ranking.

Each ranking could be further divided by region.

The Great Qian Dynasty was divided into provinces, prefectures, counties, and cities. The rankings with the highest value were naturally those that summarized the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

For example, for the Prodigy Ranking, the most valuable was the Great Qian Prodigy Ranking, followed by the provincial Prodigy Rankings, then the prefectural Prodigy Rankings, and finally the county Prodigy Rankings.

The Azure Cloud Sect was located in Qingzhou, with its influence primarily covering Yun Meng Prefecture and Azure Cloud Prefecture. It was one of the three major sects in Qingzhou.

The other two major sects were the Great Zen Temple and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Great Zen Temple had a long history and unfathomable strength. Not only in Qingzhou but even throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, it was one of the most prestigious sects.

As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, its strength was comparable to the Azure Cloud Sect, but their relationship was not good. It was said that they had a feud since their founding ancestors, which had lasted for over a thousand years.

“Heavenly Sword Sect, secret martial art: Heavenly Sword Technique, Azure Cloud Peak secret martial art: Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique. Just listening to the names of their martial arts, you know they’re rivals…”

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

The founder of the Azure Cloud Sect was also known as the Azure Cloud Fairy, a woman.

Zhou Chen suspected that the Azure Cloud Fairy and the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect might have had a love-hate relationship, like Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying.

After all, the two sects’ feud had lasted for over a thousand years. They often clashed but never to the point of life or death. There had to be something fishy going on.

Zhou Chen casually bought two books, the Qingzhou Prodigy Ranking and the Hundred Flowers Ranking, spending a full one hundred taels of silver.

“So expensive!”

Zhou Chen sighed. It was only because he was not short of money now.

“I’ll have to see if it’s worth it.”

Zhou Chen casually opened the Prodigy Ranking.

【Qingzhou Prodigy Ranking】

【First on the Prodigy Ranking: Buddha Son Sun Wukong from the Great Zen Temple. It is said that on the day he was born, celestial flowers rained down, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, Buddha’s light illuminated ten thousand miles, and Buddhist chants echoed for three days without ceasing…】

【Second on the Prodigy Ranking: Holy Maiden Jian Xiong from the Heavenly Sword Sect, possessing an Innate Sword Bone…】

【Third on the Prodigy Ranking: True Inheritance Disciple Li Chang Hen from the Azure Cloud Sect, possessing an Innate Arrow Body…】

【Fourth on the Prodigy Ranking: True Inheritance Disciple Shi Qing Xuan from the Azure Cloud Sect…】

“As expected, prodigies are all from major sects.”

Zhou Chen glanced over it. Wild prodigies were very rare. Even if there were any, they all had powerful rogue cultivators as their masters.

After a quick scan, Zhou Chen tossed it into his storage pouch.

Then, he opened the Hundred Flowers Ranking and his eyes immediately lit up.

Because there were sketches of beauties on the Hundred Flowers Ranking.

“So this is the Sect Master.”

Zhou Chen’s gaze was instantly drawn to the sketch of Sect Master Qing Yu Yao on the first page of the Hundred Flowers Ranking. It was vividly drawn, capturing her essence.

Cold and elegant, sharp and aloof.

Refined and otherworldly.

With an air of cold arrogance and dominance.

She truly lived up to her title as the Azure Cloud Sect Master.

With the picture, the introduction was simple, only including her name and background.

Zhou Chen turned to the second page.

【Second on the Hundred Flowers Ranking: Holy Maiden Jian Xiong from the Heavenly Sword Sect.】

“Wow, this guy is the eternal second place!”

Zhou Chen looked at the sketch.

Jian Xiong was dressed in men’s clothing, appearing heroic and aloof, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, her gaze sharp and piercing, possessing a heroic spirit that rivaled any man.

Even in men’s clothing, her stunning beauty couldn’t be concealed. However, with this appearance, she would probably captivate countless young women.

She was truly a heartthrob for both men and women.

Moreover, since everyone on the Hundred Flowers Ranking was depicted in men’s clothing, it seemed Jian Xiong usually presented herself as a man.

Any young woman who didn’t know she was a woman would definitely fall head over heels for Jian Xiong.

【Third on the Hundred Flowers Ranking: True Inheritance Disciple Gu Chang Ying from the Heavenly Sword Sect.】【Fourth on the Hundred Flowers Ranking: Peak Master Cheng Su Su from the Azure Cloud Sect.】

【Fifth on the Hundred Flowers Ranking: True Inheritance Disciple Shi Qing Xuan from the Azure Cloud Sect.】

…

Zhou Chen flipped through it roughly and found that all those who could make it onto the ranking were breathtaking beauties, each with their unique charm and elegance.

However, with a population of over ten billion in the six prefectures of Qingzhou, those who could make it onto the ranking were one in a million. It was no wonder they were all beautiful.

“Let’s go find a place to eat!”

Putting away the Hundred Flowers Ranking, Zhou Chen felt his stomach growling.

Azure Cloud City was truly too big.

They had been strolling for the entire morning and hadn’t even covered half of it.

“Senior Brother, there’s a place called Azure Cloud Restaurant ahead. It’s one of the largest restaurants in Azure Cloud City. How about we go there?”

Ru Yan suggested.

“Okay!”

Zhou Chen nodded, and Ru Yan led the way.

A moment later.

A nine-story restaurant appeared before Zhou Chen, decorated in a magnificent and luxurious style, exuding an air of high-end elegance and sophistication.

The entrance was bustling with activity, with people coming and going, all either wealthy or influential.

The three of them dismounted at the entrance, and two maidservants, accompanied by two young servants, immediately stepped forward to greet them.

They recognized them as disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect at a glance.

Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect held a very high status in Azure Cloud City.

“Honored guests, please come inside.”

The two maidservants bowed gracefully, while the two young servants skillfully took the reins of the Flood Dragon Horses that Zhou Chen and Ru Yan were riding.

“Feed them well.”

Ru Yan instructed.

“Rest assured, honored guest, we will use the best fodder.”

The young servants at Azure Cloud Restaurant were very familiar with the Flood Dragon Horses of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Zhou Chen handed the horses over to the servants and entered the restaurant with Qin Hong Yu and Ru Yan. The interior was spacious and bustling with activity.

Zhou Chen didn’t go to the upper floors and found a spot to sit on the second floor.

“Order whatever you want to eat.”

Zhou Chen said to Qin Hong Yu and Ru Yan.

Qin Hong Yu looked at the prices and didn’t know what to order.

It was too expensive.

Ru Yan felt even more awkward to order.

Zhou Chen simply ordered some of the signature dishes. He couldn’t mistreat anyone, especially his own stomach.

Besides, he had money now.

“Have you heard? The Azure Cloud Sect has another True Inheritance Disciple!”

“The Azure Cloud Sect has another True Inheritance Disciple? When? Why didn’t I know?”

“Of course you didn’t know. The True Inheritance Ceremony is a month away, and it was only decided yesterday!”

“I see. Which prodigy from the Inner Sect was promoted to True Inheritance Disciple?”

“Hehe, you’ll never guess. This True Inheritance Disciple just joined the Azure Cloud Sect.”

“What? Promoted to True Inheritance Disciple right after joining? And a True Inheritance Ceremony a month later?”

“What’s his background?”

Countless gazes in the restaurant were drawn to the conversation. Zhou Chen, sitting on the second floor, also looked towards the people talking on the first floor.

He didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly.

But there was no need to hide this matter. Azure Cloud City was located at the foot of Azure Cloud Mountain, so it was normal for news to travel fast.

“Let me tell you, this newly promoted True Inheritance Disciple is from Divine Arrow Peak!”

“What? Divine Arrow Peak?”

“Could it be someone with an Innate Arrow Spirit Body?”

“No, no, no!”

Facing the curious and expectant gazes of the crowd, the young man who was speaking said proudly,

“You’ll never guess. Not only does he not have an Arrow Spirit Body, but it’s said that he mastered Yi’s Archery by relying on a lost fragment of the technique and was then discovered and accepted as a True Inheritance Disciple by Peak Master Li.”

“Gasp! He doesn’t have an Arrow Spirit Body?”

“The entry requirements for Yi’s Archery are extremely strict. One needs to have a deep understanding of archery. For him to have mastered it, his talent and comprehension in archery must be terrifying!”

The crowd gasped in amazement.

Qin Hong Yu, listening to the discussions, looked at Zhou Chen with eyes full of adoration and admiration, as if they could drip water.

This was her man!

She felt an indescribable sense of pride and vanity, her heart swelling with happiness.

Just like how Zhou Chen always made her feel.
