Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Someone’s Messing with Heavenly Fragrance Fairy? I’ll Give Them a Slap!

Azure Cloud City.
Celestial Fairy Restaurant.

“Congratulations, Senior Martial Brother, for sweeping through the Lianyun Stronghold, slaying Patriarch Lianyun, and establishing your might throughout the land.”

Pang Yun Long raised his wine glass, a smile plastered on his face.

He was an inner sect disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, a direct disciple of Li Shen Tong, the Peak Master of Black Dragon Peak. At the peak of the seventh level of Body Refinement, he had already comprehended the Black Dragon Spear Intent and was known as the number one cultivator at the seventh level of Body Refinement in Azure Cloud Sect.

With Zhou Chen’s emergence, he was the inner sect disciple with the highest chance of defeating Zhou Chen and being promoted to True Inheritance Disciple.

“Patriarch Lianyun was nothing but a weakling!”

A stern man in black, his back straight as a spear, sat opposite Pang Yun Long, and said disdainfully, “If it weren’t for honing my Heavenly Saber Technique, I wouldn’t even bother killing him!”

The stern man was named Deng Yi Qiang, known for killing with a single spear thrust. He was a True Inheritance Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, the chief Senior Martial Brother of Black Dragon Peak, and had already reached the complete mastery of the ninth level of Body Refinement many years ago. He could have advanced to the Divine Power Realm long ago.

However, Deng Yi Qiang was very conceited and wanted to master all the secret martial arts techniques of the nine peaks of Azure Cloud Sect before advancing. He was currently cultivating the Heavenly Saber Technique, the secret martial art of Heavenly Saber Peak.

Patriarch Lianyun was a ninth level Body Refinement expert skilled in saber techniques who had established himself as a bandit leader with considerable influence. Unfortunately, he was still easily defeated by Deng Yi Qiang.

Often, the difference in strength between those of the same realm was vast, like a chasm.

If the strength of a ninth level Body Refinement cultivator at complete mastery was represented by a single chopstick, the higher the level of martial arts, the thicker the chopstick would be.

And for each martial art mastered, the chopstick would become thicker again, as if two chopsticks were fused together.

Deng Yi Qiang had already mastered the secret martial arts techniques of Black Dragon Spear, Coiling Dragon Staff, and four other ordinary high-level martial arts.

Here, “mastered” meant cultivating a single martial art from the first level of Body Refinement to the complete mastery of the ninth level.

It was equivalent to tempering the entire body, including the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow, blood, five viscera, six bowels, etc., from scratch for each martial art mastered.

Deng Yi Qiang had cultivated his primary Black Dragon Spear to the complete mastery of the ninth level of Body Refinement, and then mastered the Coiling Dragon Staff and four other ordinary high-level martial arts. This was equivalent to tempering his body from scratch five more times.

This realm was called the “Fifth Transformation.”

Each additional mastered martial art represented one transformation.

Each transformation was similar to altering one’s bone structure and physique, making oneself more perfect.

For example, mastering the Divine Arrow Peak’s Yi’s Archery would transform one into an Arrow Spirit Body. Even if other weaker martial arts couldn’t transform one into a Spirit Body, they would still grant half the benefits of a Spirit Body.

After Deng Yi Qiang had mastered his primary Black Dragon Spear, he chose the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps as his second martial art. After mastering it, his physical body underwent a second tempering and transformation, giving him half the benefits of a movement-type Spirit Body and increasing his speed several times over.

This was only the “First Transformation.” （Note: This “transformation” refers to the calculation excluding the primary martial art.） Currently, Deng Yi Qiang was at the “Fifth Transformation,” having mastered six martial arts and tempered his body six times, equivalent to having six different types of half-Spirit Bodies superimposed on his body.

One can imagine his strength!

Facing a ninth level Body Refinement expert like Patriarch Lianyun, who hadn’t even achieved a single transformation, was a complete rolling.

It was said that the Azure Cloud Ancestor had cultivated to the “Seventy-Second Transformation” in the Body Refinement Realm. Including his primary martial art, he had mastered seventy-three high-level martial arts.

Seventy-three martial arts must have included all eighteen types of weapons, as well as various movement techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, claw techniques, finger techniques, and so on.

It was equivalent to having seventy-three Spirit Bodies or half-Spirit Bodies combined into one, without any weaknesses. His physical body was considered perfect, with every part of his body capable of becoming a killing machine.

In the Body Refinement Realm, he could easily slay Divine Power Realm experts.

Upon breaking through, he directly reached the Peak of the Divine Power Realm, the Divine Sea Realm.

This was the fundamental reason why any disciple with talent and resources would try to master as many martial arts as possible at the ninth level of Body Refinement.

As for ordinary martial artists, they didn’t need to consider these things. Firstly, they couldn’t find many high-level martial arts, and secondly, they didn’t have the talent to master them even if they could.

Therefore, powerful individuals were a minority, and most remained ordinary.

“Senior Martial Brother, the most famous courtesan at Celestial Fairy Restaurant is Heavenly Fragrance Fairy. Should I call her over to have a few drinks with you?”

Pang Yun Long wrapped his arm around a beautiful woman, his hand reaching into her skirt, and said to Deng Yi Qiang with a smile.

The eyes of the several accompanying beauties flickered. Who didn’t know that Heavenly Fragrance Fairy was Zhou Chen’s woman?

But neither Pang Yun Long nor Deng Yi Qiang was someone they could afford to offend.

Deng Yi Qiang’s heart stirred. He naturally knew about the relationship between Heavenly Fragrance Fairy and Zhou Chen, and so did Pang Yun Long, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked for his permission.

“Zhou Chen…”

Thinking of the scene where one of his Junior Martial Brothers had wanted to be promoted to True Inheritance Disciple but was defeated and humiliated by Li Chang Hen in one move, his eyes turned cold.

He couldn’t defeat Li Chang Hen, but couldn’t he disgust Zhou Chen a little?

“Sure!”

Deng Yi Qiang nodded lightly.

Pang Yun Long, like a dog eager to please its master, immediately shouted, “Madam Xing, where is Heavenly Fragrance Fairy? Can’t you see my Senior Martial Brother is here? Why haven’t you invited her out to have a few drinks with him?”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Young Masters. Heavenly Fragrance Fairy is not feeling well and is unable to see guests.”

Madam Xing walked over quickly, her voluptuous figure swaying, and said with a forced smile, “Moreover, Heavenly Fragrance Fairy is only temporarily residing at Celestial Fairy Restaurant. She has actually been bought out by Master Zhou!”

“How come I didn’t know?”

Pang Yun Long’s voice turned harsh, and he said angrily, “I think you’re just making excuses. So, Zhou Chen is a True Inheritance Disciple, but my Senior Martial Brother isn’t? Are you looking down on my Senior Martial Brother?”

“How dare I look down on the two Young Masters? It’s just that Heavenly Fragrance Fairy…”

Madam Xing felt bitter in her heart but could only explain with a forced smile. Seeing that Madam Xing didn’t give him face, Pang Yun Long felt embarrassed, as if he had lost face in front of his Senior Martial Brother.

Anger welled up in his heart, and he raised his hand, slapping her.

Slap!
Although Madam Xing had the cultivation of the ninth level of Body Refinement, she wasn’t strong in combat. She didn’t expect the other party to strike, nor did she want to fight back.

Her fair cheek was slapped hard, and she stumbled sideways, falling into a warm and strong embrace.

Slap!
An even louder and more forceful slap rang out as Pang Yun Long flew through the air, blood and teeth spraying from his mouth. He spun in the air before crashing heavily onto a nearby table.

The table shattered. The loud commotion immediately attracted the attention of countless guests around them.

In fact, when Pang Yun Long had shouted Heavenly Fragrance Fairy’s name loudly earlier, it had already attracted countless gazes. Everyone was secretly observing, ready to enjoy the show.

“It’s Zhou Chen!”

“True Inheritance Disciple Zhou is here!”

“Now we have a good show to watch!”

Of course, when everyone saw clearly the person who had slapped Pang Yun Long, their pupils constricted, and the flames of gossip burned brightly.

If there were trending topics…

The number one trending topic tomorrow would definitely be: Shocking! Two True Inheritance Disciples of Azure Cloud Sect Clash at Celestial Fairy Restaurant, Is It a Distortion of Human Nature, or a Loss of Morality?

“Zhou Chen, how dare you hit someone?”

Deng Yi Qiang stood up, like a divine spear, his sharp edge exposed, his killing intent overwhelming.

He didn’t expect Zhou Chen to dare hit his Junior Martial Brother right in front of him.

He was truly not putting him in his eyes.

“He who hits others, shall be hit in return!”

Zhou Chen, with his arm around Madam Xing’s soft waist, didn’t look at Deng Yi Qiang. Instead, he looked at Madam Xing’s face and reached out to rub the five crimson fingerprints on her cheek.

Madam Xing’s body trembled, her cheeks burning hot, a tingling sensation spreading through her. But the burning pain instantly disappeared.

The crimson fingerprints quickly faded as Zhou Chen massaged them.

The crowd didn’t pay much attention. In the world of cultivators, this was just a minor trick. Even Madam Xing herself could quickly reduce the swelling by circulating her energy.

What shocked everyone was that Zhou Chen was ignoring Deng Yi Qiang. This was such arrogance, such a display of dominance.

It’s just…

Without strength, it was just foolish.

With strength, it was awesome.

They didn’t think highly of Zhou Chen.

Although Zhou Chen was very talented, he was only at the seventh level of Body Refinement, having just started cultivating a few months ago. Deng Yi Qiang, on the other hand, was a veteran True Inheritance Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.

“Well said, Junior Martial Brother Zhou.”

Deng Yi Qiang’s eyes turned even colder. “Today, let me, your Senior Martial Brother, give you, Junior Martial Brother, some proper guidance!”

With that, Deng Yi Qiang raised his hand, slapping Zhou Chen across the face.

Zhou Chen was about to reveal some of his strength when an arrow shot towards them, a faint image of a full moon hanging in the air, dazzling and brilliant.

However, beneath the beautiful exterior was a deadly killing intent.

Deng Yi Qiang’s hair stood on end. He no longer cared about Zhou Chen, his spear appearing in his hand as he desperately blocked the attack.

Boom!

The arrow struck the spear shaft, a loud boom echoing. The terrifying power and momentum of the arrow pressed down on him, causing Deng Yi Qiang to feel a sweetness in his mouth, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He was forced back ten steps, barely managing to stabilize himself with his spear.

“Huff!”

Taking a deep breath, Deng Yi Qiang forcefully suppressed the churning blood in his chest, swallowing the blood in his mouth. He stared coldly at the cold and beautiful woman in black outside the door:

“Li Chang Hen!”

He stared intently at Li Chang Hen’s slender and powerful figure. He hadn’t expected that while he had made great progress, she had progressed even further.

Although he had been caught off guard, he was indeed injured.

“Let’s go!”

Deng Yi Qiang snorted coldly and left in a hurry.

“Senior Martial Sister!”

Zhou Chen called out happily. He was about to step forward, but Li Chang Hen had already turned and left, without any hesitation, clean and decisive.

“Senior Martial Sister is truly cold on the outside but warm on the inside!”
