Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Golden Core Ancestor, Trading a Bird Gun for a Cannon

“Waaah, help me……”

A child fell off a cliff, but luckily was caught by an ancient pine tree, stuck on a branch, crying loudly.

“Gou Dan Er!”

Niu Niu exclaimed, looking at his partner stuck on the branch, panicked: “Gou Dan Er, wait for me, I’ll go get someone!”

“Someone come quickly! Help!”

Niu Niu cried and ran down the mountain in a panic.

“I’ll go save him!”

Looking at the child hanging on the ancient pine tree across from him, Zhou Chen didn’t hesitate, he rushed out and jumped down.

“Young Master!”

Zhao Shi Rong was startled, her heart skipped a beat.

This was a cliff.

And the distance between the two peaks where the child fell was at least a hundred meters. Even a Body Refinement Seventh Level cultivator couldn’t jump across!

If he fell, he would most likely……

Be dead!
Whoosh!
Just as Zhao Shi Rong’s heart jumped to her throat, a flying sword appeared beneath Zhou Chen’s feet, carrying him towards the opposite side.

“Young Master is an Immortal Cultivator?”

Zhao Shi Rong widened her eyes, but her worried heart finally settled down. As long as Zhou Chen was an Immortal Cultivator, even if his cultivation level wasn’t high, he wouldn’t fall to his death.

“Phew!”

Zhao Shi Rong breathed a sigh of relief, her ample chest heaving.

The contrast between the snow-white and light pink colors on her chest was striking, like a winter plum blossoming in the snow, standing gracefully on a branch.

She quickly adjusted her clothes that were messed up by Zhou Chen, circulating her Inner Energy throughout her body. Her previously limp and weak body instantly regained its strength, and she used the Light Body Skill, Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps, to head down the mountain.

However, she only practiced the footwork of Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps and not the corresponding Body Refinement method. This was the choice of most Martial Artists.

A person’s energy was limited. If they cultivated several martial arts techniques simultaneously, it would greatly hinder the progress of their primary martial arts technique.

Therefore, many Martial Artists focused on the Body Refinement of their primary martial arts technique and only cultivated the footwork and moves of other supplementary martial arts techniques.

This ensured combat effectiveness and allowed them to cultivate to Body Refinement Ninth Level faster.

Once they reached Body Refinement Ninth Level, if they had talent and ambition, they would continue cultivating the Body Refinement methods of other martial arts techniques.

Zhao Shi Rong only practiced the footwork of Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps. Although she used Inner Energy to propel it, her speed wasn’t slow. However, compared to someone like Zhou Chen who also practiced the Body Refinement method, she was far inferior.

While Zhao Shi Rong was descending the mountain, Zhou Chen was almost flying to the other side.

Crack!

Before Zhou Chen could reach him, the pine branch couldn’t bear the weight of Gou Dan Er’s struggle and broke. Gou Dan Er screamed and fell.

Swish!
Zhou Chen sped up. Luckily, he was already at Qi Refinement Ninth Level, his magical power was abundant, but his flying sword was too trashy.

It was just an ordinary High-Grade Magical Artifact of average quality.

His figure shot down like an arrow, catching up from behind, he grabbed Gou Dan Er who was falling and flew upwards.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Zhou Chen stopped. He saw a cave dwelling on the cliff.

“There are no traces of human activity up or down here. Could it be created by an Immortal Cultivator?”

Zhou Chen’s heart stirred. He looked at the thick dust and weeds at the entrance of the cave dwelling, obviously no one had lived here for a long time.

“Could this be a reward for being a good person?”

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, his heart filled with anticipation.

He flew up the cliff with Gou Dan Er in his arms and put him down.

Gou Dan Er regained his composure and looked at Zhou Chen with excitement:
“Are you an immortal?”

“I’m not an immortal!”

Zhou Chen patted Gou Dan Er’s head and warned him:
“Don’t play near the cliff next time, or no one will be able to save you!”

“Mm-hmm, I understand, Immortal Grandpa!”

Gou Dan Er nodded vigorously.

As they were talking, Zhao Shi Rong quickly rushed up and asked with concern:
“Young Master, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. You take Gou Dan Er down the mountain. I think I saw a Spiritual Herb just now, I’ll go down and have a look!”

“Be careful, Young Master!”

Zhao Shi Rong took Gou Dan Er down the mountain.

Zhou Chen stepped on his flying sword and jumped down the cliff again, arriving in front of the cave dwelling.

“Feng Xia, Ru Yi, come out and work!” Zhou Chen called out Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi who were cultivating in the Wind and Moon Mirror, asking them to scout ahead.

After all, even if they died in danger, they could be resurrected in the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.

“Master, there seems to be a formation here, we can’t get in!”

Ji Feng Xia quickly discovered something unusual. She and Liu Ru Yi went in, but soon returned inexplicably.

“A formation?”

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and took out the Fundamentals of Array Formation he had read.

He obtained this secret manual from Bai Ru Yun’s storage pouch.

【Fundamentals of Array Formation（0/10,000）】

“Add points!”

Zhou Chen added 10,000 Romance Points.

Instantly.

It was as if Zhou Chen had been comprehending the Fundamentals of Array Formation for three years and then another three years. Countless pieces of knowledge about formations gathered in his mind, merging and becoming interconnected.

Zhou Chen looked at the cave dwelling again and immediately made a discovery.

“It’s a First Tier formation, the Bewildering Spirit Array!”

“This formation has no offensive power, and because it has been around for a long time, it’s full of flaws. Even with my current strength, I can break it by force with some time…”

Zhou Chen observed the Bewildering Spirit Array and easily broke it using his knowledge of formations, pulling out the formation flags inserted into the ground:

“I can repair it later, and I’ll be able to set up a complete Bewildering Spirit Array myself.”

With the formation broken, Liu Ru Yi took the lead and entered the cave dwelling to investigate.

“Young Master, there’s no danger inside.”

Ji Feng Xia also went in and investigated. After confirming it was safe, Zhou Chen cautiously entered the cave dwelling.

It was very narrow at first, only allowing one person to pass. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly opened up.

It was a huge stone chamber.

There was a Cold Jade Bed in front of the stone chamber, emitting an astonishing chill. An old man who had been dead for many years was sitting on it.

Both Liu Ru Yi and Ji Feng Xia had checked, there was no sign of life.

There was a letter on the stone table beside it.

Ji Feng Xia opened it and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen glanced at it. It turned out that this old man was called Lotus Patriarch. He was abandoned by his parents on Lotus Mountain when he was young and was raised by someone else.

Later, he encountered an Immortal Destiny and stepped into the world of Immortal Cultivation. Because he had three Spiritual Roots of Fire, Wood, and Earth, his talent was average, but his comprehension was very good, and he became a famous Array Formation Master and Artifact Refiner.

An Array Formation Master and Artifact Refiner was someone who was proficient in both array formations and artifact refinement.

Lotus Patriarch lived a long life, over five hundred years, and his cultivation level was Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, but the last step was an insurmountable obstacle for him.

He knew he had no hope of breaking through, so when his time was approaching, he returned to Lotus Mountain where he was born for one last attempt.

There were no surprises, he failed to break through and passed away here.

He only set up a First Tier Bewildering Spirit Array at the entrance, hoping to leave his belongings to someone destined.

“It seems I am the destined one!”

Zhou Chen sighed with emotion. Every cause had its effect, fate was truly wonderful.

If he hadn’t saved Gou Dan Er, he wouldn’t have discovered this cave.

“The lifelong treasures of a Golden Core peak expert, who was one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm, I’ve struck it rich this time!”

Zhou Chen was a little excited. Although he had two Fourth Tier Divine Weapons, he was pitifully poor in terms of Immortal Path treasures.

The most valuable one was just an ordinary High-Grade Magical Artifact.

According to Lotus Patriarch’s will, his two most valuable treasures were:

One was a Low-Grade Magical Treasure, the Mountains and Rivers Seal.

The other was a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, the Blazing Fire Sword Array.

The Blazing Fire Sword Array was composed of a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, the Great Blazing Fire Sword, and four Low-Grade Magical Treasures, the Small Blazing Fire Swords. It was Lotus Patriarch’s proudest masterpiece.

It was also his strongest treasure for protection and killing enemies.

Countless powerful enemies had fallen under the Blazing Fire Sword Array.

“Now I’ve traded my bird gun for a cannon, I’m rich!”
