Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest - Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Matchmaking

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Matchmaking

In the morning, within the small courtyard.

[Vajra Fist·Experience +1]

Having just finished practicing his boxing technique, Wang Chen retracted his arms and took a long breath.

His upper body, bare and glistening with sweat, shimmered in a light bronze color.

His chest, arms, waist, abdomen, and thighs were sculpted with bulging muscles.

Filled with strength!

Compared to when he had just crossed over, Wang Chen had grown a full two inches taller.

Although his Physique had only increased by 1 point, the power of his Qi-Blood had multiplied several times over.

The synergy between the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method, Vajra Ghee, and the body refinement effect of Vajra Fist was truly outstanding.

Wang Chen felt that with a few more days of training, he could further increase his Physique attribute!

Most importantly, the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method is a body cultivation technique that refines both the internal and external, strengthening not only his skin, muscles, tendons, and bones but also his five viscera, six bowels, and meridians.

This meant that when Wang Chen executed the Great Achievement-level Geng Metal finger again, he could absolutely withstand a more powerful output of Mana.

A man, after all, needed to be tough!

Wang Chen patted his hard chest with satisfaction.

“Cluck cluck!”

Several half-grown hens clustered around him, calling out.

Another young rooster stood by, holding its head high.

Wang Chen smiled, took out a large handful of rice bran from his Storage Bag, and placed it in the trough in front of the chicken coop.

The hens and the rooster immediately gathered to peck at the feed.

Wang Chen casually cast a Cleansing Technique, cleaning up the chicken droppings from the ground, and then headed to the kitchen to shower.

After showering and changing his clothes, he was preparing to go to the quiet room for cultivation.

A voice calling from outside the courtyard interrupted him, “Wang Chen, are you home, Wang Chen?”

The voice was unfamiliar.

Wang Chen paused, then went out and opened the courtyard door.

He saw a woman in her fifties or sixties standing outside, smiling merrily at him.

Wang Chen: “Old Lady Wang?”

The original owner of the body had a narrow social circle and didn’t know many of the neighbors.

But he had memories of the woman standing before him.

“Well, if it isn’t me!”

The elderly woman said cheerfully, “Old Lady Wang has come to you with good news today. Won’t you invite me in to sit down?”

Wang Chen reacted, “Um, please come in, Old Lady.”

He brought a stool out from his room for Old Lady Wang to sit down in the courtyard, and then went off to boil some water.

Wang Chen’s house was small, and except for Old Sun, hardly anyone else visited.

He really didn’t have much to offer guests.

“No need to trouble yourself,”

Old Lady Wang stopped him, “Sit down, Wang Chen, I have something to talk to you about.”

Wang Chen had no choice but to sit down opposite her.

Old Lady Wang glanced at the young hens walking in the corner and asked, “Wang Chen, are you betrothed?”

Betrothed?

Wang Chen shook his head subconsciously, “No.”

“That’s wonderful!”

Old Lady Wang clapped her hands with joy and said, “Do you know Widow Fan, who lives to the south of the Defense Area?”

“She has taken a liking to you!”

Widow Fan?!

An image of a voluptuous woman with wide hips flashed through Wang Chen’s mind. It seemed he had seen her a few days ago when he went to the mountain to fetch spring water.

Only then did Wang Chen remember that Old Lady Wang was best known for matchmaking.

It turns out she had come to propose a match for him!

Wang Chen was entirely taken aback, “Old Lady, I’m only seventeen!”

Wasn’t Widow Fan well into her thirties?

“What’s wrong with being seventeen?”

Old Lady Wang questioned, “My eldest son got married at sixteen, and now he has three children!”

According to the customs of this world, a boy becomes an adult at sixteen.

Seventeen-year-old Wang Chen indeed was of marriageable age.

It’s just that his father had passed away early, and there were no elders around to arrange these matters for him.

Though it is said that Cultivators are different from Mortal commoners.

But unless one has exceptional Root Bone talent or a powerful background,

the path to immortality remains elusive for most, with many settling down and establishing a family at an early age.

“No, it’s not like that.”

Wang Chen was truly caught between laughter and tears, “Old Lady Wan, do you really think Widow Fan and I are suitable?”

He was neither a widow fetishist nor a fan of mature women.

He really had no interest in Widow Fan!

“How is it not suitable… Oh dear!”

Old Lady Wan lifted her palm and lightly smacked her own face, “Look at my mouth, not explaining things clearly.”

It wasn’t that Widow Fan herself was interested in Wang Chen sexually.

Instead, she wanted to recruit Wang Chen as her son-in-law!

Widow Fan’s husband had passed away a few years ago.

Because her husband had accumulated quite a few Merit Points before his death, Widow Fan used these contributions to the sect to obtain tenant rights, relying on twenty-five mu of Spirit Fields to raise her two daughters.

In fact, situations like Widow Fan’s were quite common in the Cloud Sun Sect’s Outer Sect.

There were always some cultivators with families who, for various reasons, left the sect to go on adventures, only to never return.

Widow Fan was considered quite lucky, managing to get tenant rights even after her husband’s death.

Even though she couldn’t enjoy the benefits of the sect, it was undoubtedly much better than living an unpredictable life as a Loose Cultivator.

“The younger daughter just turned fourteen this year.”

Old Lady Wan’s tongue was as persuasive as a reed pipe, “She’s quite fetching and also very capable, marrying her you surely won’t suffer a loss.”

“Get engaged this year, marry the next, and have a plump little boy the following year, what a harmonious life that’d be!”

Impressive!

Wang Chen was almost swayed by her words.

But his rationality still took the high ground in his brain, “Thank you, Old Lady Wan, but I really don’t plan on marrying.”

He quickly came up with a reason, “I’ve cultivated the ‘Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method’, and I can’t break my celibacy.”

Wang Chen wasn’t just talking nonsense.

The ‘Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method’ is most effective for those who haven’t dissipated their elemental Yang, as it helps them make twice the progress with half the effort.

Of course, it’s not to say that one can’t marry if they have practiced this Cultivation Technique.

As long as one breaks through to the fourth layer, the ‘Vajra Impermeable Realm’, there will be no issues.

But before that,

If Wang Chen didn’t maintain his celibacy, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.

This was one of the reasons why many people were reluctant to practice the ‘Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method’.

After all, how many men are willing to live ascetically like a monk indefinitely?

As for Wang Chen, with the aid of the Immortal Cultivation panel cheat, he naturally could ignore this issue.

Of course, he wouldn’t share this point with Old Lady Wan.

“You’ve cultivated a Buddhist Sect’s Cultivation Technique?”

Old Lady Wan’s eyes widened in surprise, “Monks are no good things!”

Wang Chen gave a good-natured chuckle.

Seeing that Wang Chen’s stance was firm and he had the excuse of his Cultivation Technique, Old Lady Wan realized she couldn’t force the issue.

This matchmaking fee was definitely out of reach for her.

So she grudgingly took her leave and departed.

After sending off Old Lady Wan, Wang Chen wiped off his sweat, feeling quite weary at heart.

Old Lady Wan’s mouth was really too persuasive!

However, Wang Chen had his own preoccupations and a great secret to bear, so there was no need to drag others down with him.

Even if he reached an age where he felt the urge, wouldn’t it be more simple and carefree to seek a night’s pleasure at the Numerous Fragrances Pavilion?

Wang Chen thought for a moment and extinguished the last bit of wandering thoughts in his mind.

Cultivation, it’s cultivation that matters!

Bang bang!

“Wang Chen!”

Just as he had sat down cross-legged in his meditation room, someone once again knocked on his courtyard gate.

Who is it now?

Wang Chen felt rather peeved.

What kind of day was it today that one person after another kept showing up?

Since the door kept being knocked on loudly, he was left without much choice.

He went out to open the gate once again.

The first update is here, please vote for me.

PS: Regarding the discussions about ‘Merit Points’ in the comments, it has already been mentioned in the book that doing good deeds will not earn Human Virtue. This setting of ‘Merit Points’ has a deep foreshadowing, you don’t have to worry about any statistical collapses, the mystery will be unveiled in the future, so I won’t spoil it now.
