Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Entering the Dao, Cultivating the Dao, Comprehending the Dao

Divine Arrow Peak.
Red Dust Residence.

Golden sunlight shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings. It was already mid-morning.

Zhou Chen’s thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his lazy and sleepy eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was a vast expanse of white, like the snowy mountains of the Himalayas, with deep and boundless ravines.

He raised his head slightly and saw Yu You Wei, her fair and delicate arms wrapped around the back of his head, gazing at him with deep affection.

Her beautiful eyes were as dark and bright as gemstones, possessing a mysterious and captivating charm that seemed eternal.

“Young Master, you’re awake. Let me help you get up.”

Yu You Wei’s red lips parted slightly as she spoke in a pleasant and gentle voice, clear and sweet. She was about to get up and help Zhou Chen dress.

“No hurry, let’s eat first!”

Zhou Chen smiled faintly as his gaze drifted downward.

The sight of the fair curves and two crimson points before him made him dizzy for a moment.

“Young Master.”

Yu You Wei tightened her delicate arms around the back of his head.

Zhou Chen suddenly felt a suffocating sensation as if he couldn’t breathe.

It was the scent of facial cleanser.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

“Young Master, Senior Sister Chang Hen is here. She says she has a mission for you!”

Zhao Shi Rong’s calm voice came from outside.

“I understand. Treat Senior Sister well. I’ll be there soon!”

Zhou Chen finished his milk breakfast with lingering satisfaction and got out of bed.

Yu You Wei helped Zhou Chen get dressed.

Her eyes were somewhat hazy, and her flushed face was covered in beads of sweat. A few strands of hair stuck to her face, making her look more charming and alluring than her usual calm demeanor.

After a simple wash, Zhou Chen arrived at the main hall, where Qin Hong Yu, Zhao Shi Rong, and the others were present. Li Chang Hen was sitting quietly, sipping tea.

“Senior Sister, what brings you here? You’re a rare guest!”

Zhou Chen greeted her warmly as he entered.

“What else could it be?”

Li Chang Hen glanced at Zhou Chen. She knew he had just gotten out of bed with a woman and sneered:

“Your spring breeze, of course!”

“Who offended Senior Sister? I’ll go beat them up for you.”

Zhou Chen sat down beside Li Chang Hen and chuckled.

“Stop being glib!”

Li Chang Hen glared at Zhou Chen and casually tossed him a transfer order:
“The Sect Master wants you to guard the He County Gold Mine for two months!”

“Why am I suddenly being sent to guard a gold mine?”

Zhou Chen was puzzled. Based on his understanding, individuals like him typically didn’t receive missions. Their primary task was to cultivate.

“You tell me!”

Li Chang Hen rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen:
“You performed well at the True Inheritance Ceremony, showed your face, and caught the Sect Master’s attention. But look at what you’ve been doing lately? Obviously, the Sect Master thinks you’re too idle and is giving you some work to do.”

“Senior Sister, that’s a complete injustice! I’ve been diligently cultivating, haven’t I?”

Zhou Chen put on a wronged expression and complained.

“Diligently cultivating?”

Li Chang Hen was amused. She had never met someone so shameless.

“Cultivating in a land of gentleness?”

“Senior Sister, you don’t understand. There are three thousand paths to the Great Dao, all leading to the same destination. Whether it’s the Martial Path or the Immortal Path, cultivating the body is important, but cultivating the mind is even more important.”

“I’m using the mortal world to temper my heart, cultivating both body and mind.”

“Cultivating the Dao, cultivating the Dao, of course, you must first enter the Dao, then cultivate the Dao, and finally comprehend the Dao. Otherwise, how could I have comprehended Arrow Intent so quickly and mastered Race to the Moon?”

Li Chang Hen frowned in thought. It seemed to make sense, but something felt off…

And Zhou Chen’s “entering the Dao, cultivating the Dao, comprehending the Dao”…

Was his “Dao” the same as the one they were cultivating?
“Anyway, the transfer order has been issued. We can’t ask the Sect Master to take it back. Master can’t intercede for you either. Besides, sending you to guard the gold mine for two months is just a change of scenery for you!” Li Chang Hen looked at her lecherous junior brother and reminded him:

“I don’t know if what you’re saying is true or not, but I’ll relay your words to Master. However, regardless, ultimately, strength speaks for itself!”

“Wherever there are people, there will be competition. In such a large sect like the Azure Cloud Sect, the competition is fierce, and there are many who covet your position as a True Inheritance Disciple.”

“The He County Gold Mine is under Elder Jin’s control. You’ll just be going through the motions. This is the Sect Master’s warning to you, a minor punishment.”

“You better behave yourself!”

“Thank you, Senior Sister. I understand!”

Seeing Li Chang Hen get up to leave, Zhou Chen quickly saw her off. He knew that Li Chang Hen was tough on the outside but soft on the inside and treated him quite well.

It’s just that he couldn’t help it.

If he didn’t work hard, how could his cultivation speed improve?
But the harder he worked, the more others thought he was indulging in pleasure and neglecting his duties.

It was so difficult!
Zhou Chen shook his head but didn’t dwell on it. As long as he could decisively defeat those inner sect disciples who wanted to challenge him a year later, he would naturally be able to silence all the criticism.

If he didn’t have the strength and was defeated by the inner sect disciples, then he would be considered a lecherous, pleasure-seeking, unmotivated individual, a good-for-nothing.

But if he had the strength and defeated those who challenged him, then he would be considered a free-spirited idol, envied by countless people.

“Brother Chen, were you punished by the Sect Master?”

Qin Hong Yu was somewhat worried. The Sect Master was a monumental figure to her.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious!”

Zhou Chen smiled and rubbed Qin Hong Yu’s head:

“Although my current performance doesn’t leave a good impression on the Sect Master, as long as I have enough strength, the Sect Master won’t mind.”

“Just like before the True Inheritance Ceremony, the Sect Master definitely had a bad impression of me, but when I displayed Arrow Intent during the ceremony, the Sect Master looked at me differently. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so concerned about me.”

Zhou Chen didn’t blame Qing Yu Yao. She had previously asked Shi Qing Xuan to remind him, and now she was just sending him to guard the He County Gold Mine for two months, which wasn’t even a punishment.

It was clear that she had his best interests at heart.

It’s just that his cultivation method was special, and it wasn’t easy to explain.

He could only wait until later to prove himself with his strength.

“The transfer order says I have to report to the He County Gold Mine within three days. I’ll be gone for two months this time, so I’ll take Shi Rong with me. You all stay home and cultivate diligently!”

Zhou Chen gave all the elixirs he didn’t need to Qin Hong Yu, Li Qing Xia, and the others, and then spent a wild day with them.

In the afternoon.

Zhou Chen looked at Li Qing Xia, Gu Qiu Shui, and Yu You Wei, their jade-like arms and legs sprawled beside him, and then at Qin Hong Yu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He quietly got out of bed.

“Young Master!”

Zhao Shi Rong was already waiting for Zhou Chen with her luggage packed.

Actually, they didn’t need to pack much. They all had storage pouches, and valuable items were usually kept in them, carried with them at all times.

“Let’s go!”

Zhou Chen and Zhao Shi Rong rode down Divine Arrow Peak on a Flood Dragon Horse and left the Azure Cloud Sect.

【Romance Points +1】

【Romance Points +1】

Even riding a horse while holding Zhao Shi Rong could earn him quite a few Romance Points.

He wouldn’t waste this time on the road.

“I’m working so hard!”

Zhou Chen was almost moved by himself.

“Shi Rong, you go rest at the inn for the night. We’ll set off for He County tomorrow morning.”

Upon arriving in Azure Cloud City, Zhou Chen instructed.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Zhao Shi Rong didn’t ask any further questions. She had already guessed that Zhou Chen was going to find Celestial Fragrance Fairy at Celestial Fairy Restaurant.

Zhao Shi Rong entered the inn, and Zhou Chen headed towards Celestial Fairy Restaurant.

“This little guy is really quite the womanizer!”

A beautiful woman, who had followed Zhou Chen all the way from Divine Arrow Peak, watched from afar as he entered Celestial Fairy Restaurant, a charming smile playing on her lips.
