Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Power Surge, Celestial Fairy Restaurant

As the sun set in the west.

The setting sun was as red as blood.

Two mighty and majestic Flood Dragon Horses returned to Divine Arrow Peak, treading on the sunset glow.

Zhou Chen, along with Qin Hong Yu, had spent the day exploring under Ru Yan’s guidance. They had purchased many necessary supplies and broadened their horizons.

Especially the gold-squandering den, Celestial Fairy Restaurant. It was said that the top courtesan, Heavenly Fragrance Fairy, was a renowned beauty on the Hundred Flowers Ranking.

It was a pity that Zhou Chen, accompanied by Qin Hong Yu and Ru Yan, couldn’t go in and test the waters, to see the depth of the Celestial Fairy Restaurant.

He could only wait for next time.

Back home, Zhou Chen embraced Qin Hong Yu and cultivated the Wind and Moon Secret Record together.

His soul, meanwhile, was with Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi.

He was truly working hard.

One person split into two.

It still felt insufficient.

The next day.

Zhou Chen strolled around the Azure Cloud Sect, spending the entire day in the library.

The Azure Cloud Sect’s library was rich in content, containing not only a variety of martial arts manuals but also all sorts of miscellaneous books.

Zhou Chen focused on reading about the basic knowledge of this world.

Knowledge was crucial for navigating this world.

If he knew nothing, he would surely die quickly upon venturing out.

Zhou Chen had initially thought that he could only stay focused around beautiful women, but unexpectedly, he could also immerse himself in the library.

He stayed for half a month.

He even became familiar with the old man guarding the library.

Except for the top floor, Zhou Chen had access to all other areas of the library with his current permissions.

The secret martial arts techniques of each peak were stored on the top floor.

“A thousand-year-old sect truly has unfathomable depth!”

Zhou Chen discovered that even excluding the top floor, the penultimate floor housed dozens of high-level martial arts techniques that were rarely seen in the outside world.

True Inheritance Disciples could practice these high-level martial arts as long as they registered them.

With the Wind and Moon Mirror, Zhou Chen could record everything he saw with a single glance, eliminating the need for registration.

As for the secret martial arts techniques of each peak, their cultivation difficulty was not low.

To prevent disciples from biting off more than they could chew, they generally needed to reach the ninth level of Body Refinement in their own peak’s martial arts before being allowed to practice other techniques.

It was better to have one bird in hand than ten in the forest.

Besides, weren’t these dozens of high-level martial arts techniques enough for auxiliary cultivation, even without the secret techniques of each peak?
Zhou Chen spent half a day recording all the high-level martial arts techniques from the penultimate floor before returning to his residence.

“Half a month has passed. Through my relentless daily efforts, my Romance Points have finally accumulated to over 100,000. Should I add points to Shoot the Sun?”

Zhou Chen pondered.

“No, even with Race to the Moon, I can only shoot three arrows at most. Forcing myself to comprehend Shoot the Sun through adding points might not be a good thing. The burden might be too much for me, and I could end up hurting myself.”

“Moreover, what if I comprehend Shoot the Sun and it causes some unusual phenomenon? Displaying too much monstrous talent wouldn’t be beneficial!”

Zhou Chen dismissed the idea of adding points to Shoot the Sun and then considered his cultivation.

“The True Inheritance Ceremony is in half a month. Experts will gather, and the Sect Master will also be present. There might even be other experts beyond the Divine Power Realm…”

Zhou Chen suspected that Li Chang Feng was likely an expert beyond the Divine Power Realm, but he still presented himself as being at the peak of the Divine Power Realm to the outside world.

All Peak Masters were at this realm, but Zhou Chen estimated that someone must have broken through, just keeping it a secret.

“I can’t add points to either my Body Refinement or Immortal Cultivation for now, or else I’ll appear too monstrous. I can just wait until the True Inheritance Ceremony is over in half a month before adding points to my cultivation and Immortal Cultivation.”

“But there’s no point in keeping so many Romance Points. I can definitely accumulate another 100,000 or so after half a month…”

“Cultivate other high-level martial arts techniques!”

Zhou Chen made his decision. He would have to cultivate them sooner or later anyway.

【General-Slaying Saber: First Level（0/500）】

“General-Slaying Saber, add points.”

Zhou Chen really liked this high-level martial arts technique from Bai Gui Nong, so he chose to cultivate it first.

Five hundred Romance Points were consumed. It was as if Zhou Chen had been cultivating the General-Slaying Saber day after day, finally breaking through and completing Skin Tempering once again.

Zhou Chen felt the changes in himself. His skin had become tougher, and his physical body was a bit stronger.

This was his fourth time completing Skin Tempering.

He had previously practiced the Three Harmonies Saber and Phantom Sword, but the Three Harmonies Saber was incomplete, and the Phantom Sword was only a mid-level martial arts technique. Zhou Chen didn’t plan to waste Romance Points on them.

From now on, the martial arts techniques he cultivated would at least be high-level.

“Continue!”

Zhou Chen added points five more times, completing Flesh Tempering, Tendon Tempering, Bone Tempering, Marrow Tempering, and Blood Tempering once again, bringing the General-Slaying Saber to the Internal Organ Tempering Realm, the same as Yi’s Archery.

Zhou Chen’s physical body was like a piece of hundred-refined steel, tempered from scratch once more, removing impurities and becoming even stronger and tougher. In the Internal Organ Tempering Realm, Qi and blood condensed. As the General-Slaying Saber reached this realm, the internal energy it produced fused with the internal energy from Yi’s Archery. Not only did his internal energy increase by fifty percent, but its quality also improved by half.

“I’ve become so much stronger!”

Zhou Chen was exhilarated. He took out the third-tier treasured blade, General-Slaying, obtained from Bai Gui Nong. An unparalleled sense of familiarity surged through him, as if it were connected to his bloodline, an extension of his own body.

Buzz!

Zhou Chen casually swung the blade, saber Qi crisscrossing, the cold light chilling to the bone.

“There are still over 60,000 Romance Points left…”

Zhou Chen looked at his personal panel.

Just now, cultivating the General-Slaying Saber had cost a total of 500 + 1000 + 2000 + 4000 + 8000 + 16000, totaling 31,500 points.

“I’ve now cultivated Yi’s Archery and the General-Slaying Saber. Next, I’ll cultivate a light body skill and a fist technique…”

Zhou Chen looked through the dozens of high-level martial arts techniques he had recorded from the penultimate floor of the library and quickly made a decision.

【Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps: First Level（0/500）】

【Overlord Fist: First Level（0/500）】

“Add points!”

Zhou Chen frantically added points, consuming 31,500 Romance Points to cultivate the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps to the seventh level, reaching the Internal Organ Tempering Realm of the seventh level of Body Refinement.

This time, Zhou Chen clearly felt his entire body become lighter, especially his legs. They not only became lighter but also filled with power.

When Zhou Chen moved, multiple afterimages remained in his original spot.

“Hiss!”

Zhou Chen’s eyes widened. “My speed has at least tripled!”

Zhou Chen hadn’t expected such a dramatic change from cultivating a high-level light body skill.

As the saying went, “In the world of martial arts, speed reigns supreme.”

Although it wasn’t entirely accurate in this world, increased speed brought undeniable benefits. Even escaping would be faster.

“Overlord Fist, add points!”

Zhou Chen consumed another 31,500 Romance Points, cultivating the Overlord Fist to the Internal Organ Tempering Realm of the seventh level of Body Refinement.

Zhou Chen’s fists became incredibly powerful. He felt like he could kill Bai Gui Nong with a single punch.

Of course.

That was definitely an illusion.

Although he had cultivated four high-level martial arts techniques, with a two-realm difference, he couldn’t possibly kill a ninth-level Body Refinement martial artist with one punch.

He might be able to do it with Yi’s Archery.

“There are still over 2,000 Romance Points left. I’ll save them for recovery and healing!”

Zhou Chen assessed himself.

Compared to before, his internal energy had surged by more than three times, and its strength had increased by four or five times. His combat power had at least increased tenfold!
He looked at his personal panel:

【Medicine Recipes: Yang Ding Tian】

【Romance Points: 2125】

“Very good!”

Zhou Chen raised his head. The azure sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly. It was a good day.

“I’ve been cooped up in the library for half a month. It’s time to go out and get some fresh air!”

Zhou Chen informed Qin Hong Yu and then mounted his beloved Flood Dragon Horse. With a single whip, he rode off in a cloud of dust, embarking on his second journey to Azure Cloud City.

Half an hour later.

“Celestial Fairy Restaurant…”

Zhou Chen stood in front of a tall and luxurious building. Before even entering, the scent of countless perfumes and powders wafted towards him.

The entire building was adorned with red sleeves beckoning customers.

“I wonder if Heavenly Fragrance Fairy truly has a natural fragrance?”

Zhou Chen was curious.

“Hey there, young master, come on in!”
