Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Gods and Demons Cannot See, Heaven’s Dao Cannot Perceive

“I’ve struck it rich!”
Zhou Chen removed Patriarch Lotus’s storage ring. The space inside was enormous, filled with all sorts of artifact refining materials and treasures.

The most valuable among them were, naturally, the Mountains and Rivers Seal and the Blazing Fire Sword Array.

But besides these two magical treasures, there were even more spirit artifacts, and most of them were high-grade and supreme-grade spirit artifacts. Zhou Chen was dazzled by the sight, his heart filled with joy!

Without looking further, Zhou Chen put away the storage ring and continued to search the cave.

Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi had already carefully searched the entire cave and found no other treasures.

Zhou Chen checked again, and besides the cold jade bed beneath Patriarch Lotus’s seat, there were no other treasures.

Zhou Chen didn’t touch the cold jade bed.

Although the cold jade bed was a treasure, it wasn’t particularly valuable. One shouldn’t be greedy. He had already gained enough.

Moreover, what if Patriarch Lotus had set up a formation trap under the bed to punish greedy people? Wouldn’t that be a loss for him?

Zhou Chen bowed respectfully to Patriarch Lotus:
“Thank you, Senior, for your generosity. This Junior will definitely carry forward your treasures and not let them gather dust. Rest in peace, Senior!”

After bowing three times, Zhou Chen took Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi out of the cave.

Coming out of the cave.

Zhou Chen took out his General-Slaying Saber and shattered the passageway, sealing it off. Then he mounted his flying sword and left.

Arriving on the cliff, Zhou Chen saw Zhao Shi Rong, who had been waiting there for a long time.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

Zhao Shi Rong’s eyes lit up with joy as she hurried forward to greet him.

“I’m fine. I encountered a vulture down there and gave it a few slashes!”

Zhou Chen didn’t mention Patriarch Lotus. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Zhao Shi Rong, but the fewer people who knew, the safer it would be.

The treasure inheritance of a peak Golden Core cultivator who was also an array formation master and artifact refiner would definitely drive Golden Core cultivators crazy, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted.

He had to be cautious.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go back!”

Picking up Zhao Shi Rong, Zhou Chen mounted his Flood Dragon Horse and headed down the mountain.

Back home, Zhao Shi Rong prepared dinner while Zhou Chen went back to his room to check the treasures in the storage ring.

He couldn’t use the Mountains and Rivers Seal and the Blazing Fire Sword Array for the time being, and before his strength was sufficient, he couldn’t take them out.

Once taken out, he would have to silence anyone who had seen them.

“Right now, I mainly rely on Martial Dao cultivation for combat, with Immortal Dao cultivation as my trump card…”

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen decided to equip himself with a set of supreme-grade spirit artifacts.

Although with his ninth level of Qi Refinement, he wouldn’t be able to use supreme-grade spirit artifacts for long, he intended to use them as a trump card. He didn’t need them to last, just to have strong explosive power in a short period.

“Supreme-grade spirit artifact Fire Dragon Sword, forged from the spinal bone of a third-tier demon beast, the Fire Python Flood Dragon. It can be used as an offensive weapon.”

“Fire Dragon Armor, forged from the hide of the Fire Python Flood Dragon. A must-have.”

“Black Tortoise Shield, mainly for defense, also needed.”

“Wind-Riding Boots, to increase speed. I can have these.”

“Soul-Suppressing Bell, to defend against soul attacks. Definitely need this.”

In a short while, Zhou Chen selected five supreme-grade spirit artifacts. After a simple binding process, he put them aside and continued to check the other treasures.

This time, he focused on cultivation methods and secret manuals.

“Red Emperor Fire God Art…”

Zhou Chen picked up a treasured secret manual. This was a divine art that Patriarch Lotus had found in an ancient cave after becoming a Golden Core Grand Master. It was extraordinary in power and could cultivate Red Emperor Fire God Qi.

Red Emperor Fire God Qi was actually a special type of magical power, extremely yang in nature, with the power to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas. It was because of this cultivation method that Patriarch Lotus had made rapid progress in both artifact refining and combat power.

“I’ll switch to cultivating the Red Emperor Fire God Art later!”

Zhou Chen carefully flipped through the pages, unconsciously becoming engrossed in it.

Knock, knock, knock!
The knocking sound startled Zhou Chen:
“Young Master, dinner’s ready!”

“Coming!”

Putting all the treasures into the Wind and Moon Mirror, Zhou Chen opened the door and had lunch with Zhao Shi Rong.

After lunch.

As usual, Zhou Chen directly picked up Zhao Shi Rong for their post-meal afternoon nap activities.

Inside the Wind and Moon Mirror.

Zhou Chen was multitasking. His soul body was browsing through various secret manuals.

Array formations, artifact refining, Patriarch Lotus’s cultivation insights, artifact refining insights, array formation insights…

“What a treasure trove!”

Zhou Chen sighed with emotion. Having lived for over five hundred years, a peak Golden Core array formation master and artifact refiner’s collection was truly astonishing. Compared to a sixth level of Qi Refinement lone cultivator like Bai Ru Yun, it was like the difference between a starving peasant and a wealthy landlord—the gap was too great.

“Invisibility…”

Zhou Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had found a scroll of supernatural abilities.

【Invisibility: Can make oneself or others, or even any object, invisible and conceal their aura…】

The more Zhou Chen read, the more excited he became.

What was a supernatural ability?
The ultimate level of techniques was a supernatural ability.

In short, it was the best among techniques, or even surpassed techniques.

Although the Invisibility supernatural ability had an ordinary name, its effect was far greater than the common Breath Concealment Technique.

As long as he mastered the first level, with Zhou Chen’s ninth level of Qi Refinement, even Nascent Soul Grand Masters or even stronger Deification experts would find it difficult to see through.

【Invisibility Level 1（0/100000）】

“It’s just a bit expensive!”

Looking at the required Romance Points, Zhou Chen felt a bit of heartache, but considering its power, 100,000 Romance Points were definitely worth it.

Especially since his cultivation had soared this time, he urgently needed such a concealment supernatural ability.

Originally, Zhou Chen had planned to see if the Breath Concealment Technique could deceive everyone. If it couldn’t, he would say that he had obtained heavenly treasures and his cultivation had soared.

He hadn’t cultivated any evil techniques, so regardless of whether others believed it or not, this excuse could publicly silence them. With his status, no one would dare to question him openly.

But there would definitely be people who would secretly target him, coveting his secrets.

Now it was alright.

With this Invisibility supernatural ability, not only would his ability to protect himself greatly increase, but he wouldn’t have to worry about others seeing through his cultivation level.

The sun set in the west, the setting sun like blood.

Zhao Shi Rong fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Zhou Chen couldn’t wait to leave her and went to the next room, asking Ji Feng Xia to seal the room.

Zhou Chen looked at his personal panel. It had been almost two months since he came to He County. Through his efforts, his Romance Points had exceeded 500,000.

This was only because of Zhao Shi Rong, Ji Feng Xia, and Liu Ru Yi.

If he were at Azure Cloud Sect, with Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Yu You Wei, Li Qing Xia, Gu Qiu Shui, and Qin Hong Yu, his Romance Points would be even higher, at least breaking 600,000.

But 500,000 was enough.

“Invisibility, add points!”

Zhou Chen’s eyes were filled with excitement.

With the consumption of 100,000 Romance Points, it was as if Zhou Chen had cultivated the Invisibility supernatural ability for decades, day after day, year after year, through rain or shine. Finally, he had achieved a breakthrough and mastered the first level.

With a thought, Zhou Chen’s figure vanished from the room.

Invisible to the eyes, inaudible to the ears, undetectable by smell, imperceptible to the spirit.

“Master?”

Ji Feng Xia looked at the empty room, unable to sense Zhou Chen’s presence at all, even with her keen divine sense.

“Not bad, not bad!”

Zhou Chen was very satisfied with this supernatural ability. In the future, his ability to protect himself would greatly increase, and as for concealing his cultivation, it would be a piece of cake.

“Congratulations, Master, on mastering the supernatural ability, your magical power is boundless!”

Ji Feng Xia congratulated him with an excited expression.

“It’s still early to say I’ve mastered it… Hmm?”

Zhou Chen suddenly raised an eyebrow. The Wind and Moon Mirror sent him a message.

Because his Breath Concealment Technique was at the complete mastery level, and it was similar to the Invisibility supernatural ability, he could consume Romance Points to fuse them into an even stronger supernatural ability.

“It can be fused?”

Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected that the complete mastery of the Breath Concealment Technique could be fused with the Invisibility supernatural ability.

【Invisibility Level 2（0/1000000）, Fuse with Breath Concealment Technique（0/50000）】

“50,000 Romance Points?”

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment. The Invisibility supernatural ability was already so powerful, wouldn’t it be even stronger if it was fused with the Breath Concealment Technique?

“Fuse!”

Zhou Chen added points. With the consumption of 50,000 Romance Points, the already mastered Breath Concealment Technique slowly fused with the Invisibility supernatural ability, eliminating the unnecessary and retaining the essential, undergoing fusion and transformation.

【Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea: Invisible to the eyes, inaudible to the ears, undetectable by smell, imperceptible to the spirit. Hidden within heaven and earth, roaming freely within the four seas. Unknowable, untraceable, unobservable. Existing in the world, yet unseen in the world. Can dispel tribulation, avoid misfortune, and escape disaster. Cultivated to the extreme, invisible to gods and demons, imperceptible to Heaven’s Dao. 】
