Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault

"Although this Water and Fire Cudgel is not a magic weapon, you know how precious that Starfall Iron is."

"Forty dollars, not a penny less."

"That being said, this iron cannot be imbued with magical power, and its hardness is too high to be forged. It is only used by those who cultivate their bodies."

Chen Hao remained unhurried.

"Give me the Silver Silkworm Armor and thirty-five spirit stones. If you could also give me a bottle of iron oil to maintain my staff, I'll come to you first whenever I need to acquire magical artifacts."

Old Zhou stared at Chen Hao for a long time. The man always had that calm smile on his face, clearly not someone who could be fooled.

He slammed his hand on the counter.

"Deal! Thirty-five spirit stones, a silver silkworm armor and a water-fire staff, plus a free bottle of top-quality iron-protecting oil."

"But let me make this clear from the start: I've told you the truth about the ingredients of this Water and Fire Stick. If you find it unusable later, don't come back to me asking for a refund."

It's a deal.

Chen Hao readily took out thirty-five spirit stones.

"Can the silver silkworm armor be polished today?"

"able!"

He readily accepted the spirit stone, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Come pick it up tonight, and I'll polish it until it shines!"

evening.

When Chen Hao returned to Old Zhou's magical artifact, the silver silkworm armor had been polished to a gleaming shine.

He concealed the silver silkworm armor close to his body inside his clothes, and carried the eighty-pound water-fire rod on his shoulder, striding towards the Su family.

He knew he had struck gold this time.

This water and fire staff is made of extraordinary material, with hardness and density far exceeding that of ordinary magical artifacts.

It's just that the quenching failed and was difficult to control.

However, for the Iron Rhinoceros Kung Fu, which emphasizes powerful and aggressive attacks, this flaw is insignificant.

Its unparalleled weight and hardness are enough to smash any enemy into mincemeat!

Carrying the heavy iron rod and clutching the cool silver silk armor, Chen Hao returned to the Yihong Courtyard with a satisfied heart.

He found some coarse cloth and hemp rope, wrapped them tightly with cowhide, and made a handle.

Thus, a large, heavy, and terrifying water and fire club was formed.

That night.

He put the silver silk armor close to his body and then tested the new weapon in the courtyard.

The water and fire club, when swung, produced a dull and terrifying whooshing sound; each strike seemed capable of shattering stone tablets and splitting rocks.

With this weapon, his confidence immediately increased by a third.

In the backyard of the Su family, candlelight flickered.

Su Wanqing was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, combing her long hair.

Seeing Chen Hao push open the door and come in, carrying a heavy, dark stick on his shoulder, he was momentarily stunned.

"Husband... what is this?"

Chen Hao leaned the water-fire stick against the corner of the wall and walked behind Su Wanqing.

I found two great items today.

He patted the silver silk armor inside his clothes.

"There's a silver silkworm armor in here, made of fine steel wire, which can block swords and blades. And that water and fire staff, made of star-sinking iron, is quite heavy, just right for my Iron Rhinoceros Kung Fu style."

Su Wanqing reached out and touched the cold nail plate, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Are you suddenly buying all this because you're going on a long trip?"

Chen Hao took her hand.

"In half a month, it will be Senior Su's birthday. He has been stationed in Heihe Mountain for many years. The Su family has given us a mission, saying that this Senior Su is also from the same family, and they want to win him over to fight against the Bai Yuan Zhao family. They asked us to send him birthday gifts."

"It's only right... The Su family is in a bad situation right now, so it's only right to ask for help from all sides."

"It's just that Black River Mountain has been quite unsettled lately. I heard that a demon hunter was killed there a few days ago, and his remains were never recovered."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hunt demons."

Chen Hao smiled.

"It's just a trip along the official road to deliver a birthday gift; I'll be back in a couple of days."

"You make it sound so easy. That's Black River Mountain, not some peaceful place. Do you think the official road is safe? What if we run into some highway robbers, or a demonic beast suddenly appears? Do you think that's a joke?"

She stood up, walked to the cabinet, pulled out a palm-sized brocade pouch, and stuffed it into Chen Hao's hand.

"These are two Vajra Talismans I've collected. Keep them close to your body. If you really have to resort to any means, they can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Chen Hao carefully put the brocade pouch away from his body.

"Don't worry, with this Water and Fire Cudgel by my side, ordinary demonic beasts can't get close. Besides, I've been cultivating my body for so long, I'm incredibly tough."

Even a tough life can't withstand your recklessness.

Su Wanqing reached out and straightened his collar, her fingertips brushing against the cool silver silk armor, and suddenly her eyes reddened.

"My husband, I know you are an ambitious man."

Chen Hao cupped Su Wanqing's face in his hands.

"This trip to Heihe Mountain is not only for Senior Su, but also for our future."

"I've cultivated a body-refining technique and acquired this Water-Fire Cudgel, so it's time for me to go out and make my own way in the world. I can't let you follow me around forever, only to be talked about behind your back."

Su Wanqing burst into laughter through her tears and punched him in the chest.

"Who's talking behind your back? Stop making a scene."

She paused, then her voice suddenly softened, carrying an indescribable and alluring quality.

"Since you're leaving, tonight... don't hold back."

Chen Hao looked at her, a fire burning in his eyes.

He scooped Su Wanqing up in his arms and strode toward the bed.

The gauze curtains fell, and the candlelight flickered red.

That night, Su Wanqing seemed to be using up all her remaining strength.

Her nails dug into Chen Hao's back, she bit her lip to keep quiet, but her body betrayed her.

Chen Hao didn't say anything, he just kept his head down and worked.

Sweat dripped onto her body, then slid down her delicate skin into deeper, more intimate places.

Both of them understood that although Heihe Mountain was not far away, the journey was fraught with danger due to its high mountains and treacherous waters.

In the latter half of the night, Su Wanqing nestled against his chest, her fingertips twirling around his clothes, her voice muffled.

"Promise me one thing."

"you say."

"No matter what happens, come back alive."

Chen Hao held her in his arms.

I promise you.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Chen Hao pushed open the door, shouldered the heavy, dark fire-and-water stick, and disappeared into the morning light.

Behind her, inside the gauze curtain, Su Wanqing slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Chen Hao's figure.

She closed her eyes, her lips moving slightly, as if in silent prayer.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Hu was already waiting in the front yard.

Four or five carriages were parked beside him, piled high with birthday gifts prepared by the Su family.

He saw Chen Hao carrying out an iron rod that was taller than him and as thick as a duck egg.

Zhang Hu raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing...?"

"When you're out and about, you always need a handy tool."

Chen Hao slammed the iron rod into the ground, making a dull thud.

"Instructor Zhang, when do we set off?"

Zhang Hu gave him a deep look.

"Let's go now."

.....

As Chen Hao practiced the Iron Rhinoceros Skill for a long time, his body weight increased.

The spirit horse beneath him seemed to sense the oppressive aura emanating from Chen Hao's hard-skill training, and it pawed at him restlessly, snorting.

However, Chen Hao took a deep breath and focused his energy in his dantian.

The Iron Rhinoceros Skill's powerful body control erupted instantly, his legs clamping down like iron pincers.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he was already able to move freely and steadily with the rhythm of the spirit horse.

"Great! That sense of balance, a natural man."
