Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 73 - 71: Unseen by Divine Demon, Unperceived by Heaven
"Struck it rich!"
Zhou Chen removed the Storage Ring of the Lotus Ancestor, and inside, the space was vast, filled with various artifact-refining materials and treasures.
The most precious among them were, of course, the Mountain and River Seal and the Fire Separation Sword Array.
But besides these two magical artifacts, there were even more Spiritual Artifacts, most of which were Upper-Grade and Top-Grade, making Zhou Chen dizzy with excitement!
Without further inspection, Zhou Chen put away the Storage Ring and continued searching the cave mansion.
Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi had already searched the entire cave mansion thoroughly and found no other treasures.
Zhou Chen took another look and found nothing else but the Cold Jade Bed beneath the Lotus Ancestor’s seat.
Zhou Chen did not touch the Cold Jade Bed.
Although the Cold Jade Bed was a treasure, it was not particularly valuable. One should not be too greedy, and he had already gained enough.
Besides, what if the Lotus Ancestor had set an array trap under the bed to punish the greedy? Wouldn’t he be losing more than he gained?
Zhou Chen respectfully bowed to the Lotus Ancestor:
"Thank you, senior, for your generous gift. This junior will definitely carry forward your treasures, ensuring that these pearls do not gather dust. Rest in peace, senior!"
After bowing three times, Zhou Chen left the cave mansion with Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi.
Once outside the cave.
Zhou Chen took out the General Slayer Saber, shattered the passageway, sealing it, and then rode on his flying sword to leave.
Upon reaching the cliff, Zhou Chen saw Zhao Shiyong waiting there.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Zhao Shiyong’s eyes were filled with joy as she quickly approached to ask.
"I’m fine. Down there, I just encountered a bald eagle and gave it a few slashes!"
Zhou Chen did not mention the matter of the Lotus Ancestor, not out of distrust towards Zhao Shiyong, but because fewer people who knew meant greater safety.
A treasure inheritance from a Golden Core Peak, who was also a formidable Array Master, could definitely drive Golden Core Cultivators mad or even tempt Nascent Soul Cultivators.
One must be cautious and prudent.
"Time is running late, let’s head back!"
Carrying Zhao Shiyong, Zhou Chen mounted the Jiaolong Horse and headed down the mountain.
Returning home, Zhao Shiyong cooked, and Zhou Chen returned to his room to sort through the treasures in the Storage Ring.
The Mountain and River Seal and Fire Separation Sword Array, these two magical artifacts, could not be used for now, and these two should not be revealed until he had the strength.
Once revealed, he would have to silence those who saw them.
"Right now, I mainly rely on Martial Dao cultivation for combat, with Immortal Dao cultivation as a trump card..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen decided to equip himself with a set of Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Although with his sixth-layer Qi Refining magical power, he couldn’t wield Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts for long, they were intended as a trump card, requiring only short bursts of power.
"The Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Fire Dragon Sword, crafted from the spine of a Tier Three Demon Beast, the Fire Python Flood Dragon, can serve as an attack weapon."
"The Fire Dragon Armor, made from the Fire Python Armor, must be included."
"The Profound Turtle Shield, primarily for defense, is also needed."
"The Wind-controlling Boots, to boost speed, are desirable."
"The Soul-Suppressing Bell, to defend against soul attacks, is essential."
In a short time, Zhou Chen selected five Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and after a simple recognition of ownership, he set them aside and continued to examine the other treasures.
This time he primarily focused on the cultivation technique manuals.
"Red Emperor Fire Divine Skill..."
Zhou Chen picked up a treasured manual. It was a divine technique that the Lotus Ancestor found in an Ancient Cave Mansion after becoming a Golden Core Great Cultivator, and its power was extraordinary, capable of cultivating the Red Emperor Fire Divine Qi.
The Red Emperor Fire Divine Qi was actually a form of special magical power, immensely yang and vigorous, with the power to burn skies and boil seas. It was due to this technique that the Lotus Ancestor made rapid advances in both artifact refining and combat strength.
"I’ll switch to cultivating the Red Emperor Fire Divine Skill later!"
Zhou Chen engrossed himself in the manual without realizing it.
Knock knock knock!
The knocking stirred Zhou Chen from his deep focus:
"Young master, it’s time to eat!"
"Coming!"
After putting all the treasures into the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror, Zhou Chen opened the door and had lunch with Zhao Shiyong.
After lunch.
As usual, Zhou Chen picked up Zhao Shiyong for post-meal nap activities.
Inside the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.
Zhou Chen multitasked, his Soul Body sorting through various manuals.
Arrays, artifact refining, Lotus Ancestor’s cultivation insights, artifact refining insights, array insights...
"This is truly a great treasure trove!"
Zhou Chen marveled, having lived over five hundred years, the collection of a Golden Core Peak Array Master was astonishingly abundant.
Compared to a Loose Cultivator like Bai Ruyun at the sixth-layer Qi Refining, it was like the stark difference between a farmer struggling to fill their belly and a wealthy landlord.
"Invisibility..."
Suddenly Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up as he found a scroll of divine techniques.
[Invisibility: Can conceal oneself, others, or any object from sight and conceal their presence...]
The more Zhou Chen read, the more excited he became.
What is a divine technique?
The pinnacle of spells is divine technique.
Simply put, it is the top-tier, or even beyond, spell methods.
Although the name Invisibility was ordinary, its effect surpassed the common Breath Concealment Technique countless times over.
Once the first level was mastered, with Zhou Chen’s sixth-layer Qi Refining cultivation, even Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, or even stronger Divinity Transformation Powerhouses, would find it hard to see through it.
[Invisibility Level 1 (0/100000)]
"It’s just a bit expensive!"
Looking at the required Wind and Moon Points, Zhou Chen felt a bit of heartache, but considering its strength, a hundred thousand Wind and Moon Points was completely worth it.
Especially since his cultivation skyrocketed this time, he urgently needed such a concealing divine technique.
Zhou Chen originally planned to see if the Breath Concealment Technique could avoid scrutiny; if not, he’d claim to have found some exceptional material treasures that caused his rapid advancement.
He hadn’t practiced any demonic arts, and whether or not others believed him, this excuse could publicly shut others’ mouths, and with his status, others wouldn’t openly act against him.
But there would certainly be those who would secretly target him, coveting his secrets.
Now everything was better.
With this Invisibility divine technique, not only did his survival capabilities increase drastically, he no longer feared others seeing through his cultivation details.
As the sun set, staining the sky red with its dying light. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Zhao Shiyong fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion, and Zhou Chen eagerly withdrew and headed to the next room, having Ji Fengxia seal it off.
Zhou Chen glanced at his personal interface; he had been in He County for almost two months, and through his efforts, his Wind and Moon Points surpassed the five hundred thousand mark.
This was only due to having Zhao Shiyong, Ji Fengxia, and Liu Ruyi.
If he had been at the Cyan Cloud Sect, with Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Yu Youwei, Li Qingxia, Gu Qiushui, and Qin Hongyu present, his Wind and Moon Points could have reached even higher, likely breaking the six hundred thousand mark.
But five hundred thousand was enough.
"Invisibility, add points!"
Zhou Chen’s eyes were filled with excitement.
With the expenditure of a hundred thousand Wind and Moon Points, Zhou Chen felt like he had cultivated the Invisibility divine technique for decades, persevering day after day, until finally breaking through one morning, mastering the first level.
With a thought, Zhou Chen disappeared from the room.
Unseen to the eye, unheard by the ear, unsensed by the nose, undetectable by divine perception.
"Master?"
Ji Fengxia 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 divine technique, as it greatly enhanced his survival capabilities, and as for concealing his cultivation, it was now in the bag.
"Congratulations, Master, on achieving great success with the divine technique. Boundless magical power!"
Ji Fengxia excitedly congratulated.
"There’s still a long way to achieve great success with the divine technique... Hm?"
Suddenly Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, as information from the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror came to him.
Due to his Breath Concealment Technique reaching Great Perfection and its similarity with the Invisibility divine technique, it could be fused into an even stronger divine technique by consuming Wind and Moon Points.
"Fusion is possible?"
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up, never expecting that with Breath Concealment Technique’s perfection, it could be fused with the Invisibility divine technique.
[Invisibility Level 2 (0/1000000), Fusion with Breath Concealment Technique (0/50000)]
"Fifty thousand Wind and Moon Points?"
Zhou Chen pondered, considering the Invisibility divine technique’s already formidable nature, could it be stronger if fused with the Breath Concealment Technique?
"Fuse them!"
Zhou Chen added points, and with the consumption of fifty thousand Wind and Moon Points, his already perfected Breath Concealment Technique slowly fused with the Invisibility divine technique, refining and transforming.
[Deceive Heaven and Cross the Seas: Invisible to the eye, unheard by the ear, unsensed by the nose, undetectable by divine perception, hidden within heaven and earth, roaming within the four seas, unknown, untraceable, unobservable, existing in the world yet unseen, capable of disaster evasion, peril avoidance, and catastrophe thwarting. At its zenith, undetectable by even Divine Demons, imperceptible by the Heavenly Dao.]
