Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and decisively chose "Yes".

next second.

The system panel floating before them suddenly glowed faintly, and the words "Five Elements Fist" faded, replaced by—

[Five Elements Skill]: Beginner Level (0/2000)

Chen Feng was taken aback.

After advancing from a fist technique to a higher level, you have to allocate skill points again, starting from zero.

Just getting started requires 2,000 experience points. At this rate, it will take at least 10,000 experience points to fully max out the Five Elements Technique!

Experience is hard-won.

Without the fox demon, it would take him a long time to save up enough to break 10,000.

Despite the heartache, Chen Feng didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately put in a thousand to test the waters.

[Five Elements Skill]: Beginner Level (1000/2000)

Almost the instant he immersed himself in the experience, the techniques and knowledge he gained flooded into Chen Feng's mind like a burst dam.

A sudden heat surged through my body.

At this moment, the Qi and blood in his body, guided by the Five Elements Technique, were violently impacting the Qihai acupoint deep within his dantian, following a specific route.

"puff-"

A soft sound.

It was as if an invisible barrier had been completely broken through, and the shackles that were hindering Chen Feng's growth of qi and blood instantly disintegrated.

Once the trick is revealed.

The surging blood and qi within his body, like a wild horse unleashed, rushed towards the Qihai acupoint in an instant, filling the empty Qihai in the blink of an eye.

The qi and blood that enter the dantian are gradually condensed and purified in the acupoints, slowly transforming into true qi.

Breakthrough to the Qi Condensation Realm

[Experience +3000]

......

......

While Chen Feng was studying how to use true qi, news of his counterattack against the Li family's Qi Condensation Realm cultivator while at the Qi Refining Realm spread rapidly throughout Pingcheng.

Suddenly, many forces extended olive branches to Chen Feng.

However, the Li family directly invoked the name of the Canal Gang, making their hostile relationship clear, and even posted notices to arrest Chen Feng, which dispelled the intentions of many forces to win him over.

South of Pingcheng, on the outskirts.

The wheels of the horse-drawn carriage rolled over the dirt road, raising clouds of dust that mingled with the fishy smell of roadside weeds and wafted into our nostrils.

This is a convoy heading to Yongning Bay in southeastern Jiangzhou, with the purpose of escorting jewelry merchants to Yongning Bay to purchase goods.

Including the staff, servants, and bodyguards, the group consisted of about fifty people, making it a medium-sized caravan.

Yongning Bay is the estuary of the Xunjiang River and is rich in pearls, giant clams, hawksbill turtles, and other products. Due to serious conflicts between the canal gangs and local gangs, what should have been the most convenient canal transport route was subject to layers of obstruction and huge taxes.

The canal gang was tyrannical and domineering.

Once identified as a jewelry merchant, individuals can be detained and forced to purchase jewelry produced in the river basins under the jurisdiction of the Canal Gang.

However, its quality varies greatly and is far inferior to that of Yongning Bay.

Therefore, most merchants would choose the more expensive overland route.

Chen Feng disguised himself slightly and even adopted the alias "Chen Lang," preparing to go to Yongning Bay with these merchants.

Compared to traveling alone.

He preferred to spend some money and leisurely ride along with the caravan, using others as cover.

It must be said that the Canal Gang acted extremely quickly. Chen Feng had barely left Pingcheng when the Canal Gang issued a manhunt order, offering a huge reward for his capture. Many forces were willing to give the Canal Gang face.

However, this is limited to providing information.

Only a fool would send someone to capture Chen Feng if those forces lacked Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, or even those without any Qi Condensation Realm cultivators at all.

Chen Feng gripped the horse's back with his legs to control its speed, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, revealing a vigilant expression.

His current identity is that of a Blood Refining Realm fighter who has temporarily joined the team. If he doesn't act properly, he'll easily arouse suspicion.

"Boss, look at Chen Lang, he's working so hard. How much did you pay him? And he's already at the Blood Refining Realm at such a young age, his talent is quite good."

Bored on the journey, everyone liked to gossip to add some fun, and Chen Feng, the thug who was temporarily added to the group, naturally became the topic of conversation among the bodyguards.

The one who spoke was a bodyguard named Ye Jian. He looked at Chen Feng's serious expression and clicked his tongue in amazement.

He thought to himself that if he were a temporary worker, he would definitely slack off.

"It didn't cost any money."

The Bone Forging Realm member of the team is named Sun Xian.

"You didn't spend any money? Are you kidding me?" Ye Jian's eyes widened.

"He has no employment relationship with us. He can quit at any time if there is danger. Just consider it a ride along the way. If it weren't for the fact that he is a martial artist and can be considered a combatant, I wouldn't be willing to take him along."

"No wonder..."

On the other side, Chen Feng heard the conversation between the two clearly, but didn't say anything. He didn't feel that he was at a loss for not taking the money. Anyway, he didn't lack money, so he might as well broaden his horizons.

What's lacking now is experience.

He currently hopes to encounter bandits blocking his way, the more he kills, the more he earns. After advancing from Five Elements Fist to Five Elements Skill, he is still lacking in experience.

Moreover, even though he has maxed out his Ink Splash Sword Technique, he hasn't actually used it in a real battle yet, and he's itching to test his skills against bandits, fox demons, or similar characters.

The convoy continued to move forward.

On the surface, Chen Feng was observing and being vigilant about his surroundings, but in reality, he was secretly practicing controlling his true energy by gathering clusters of true energy in his hands.

This method of remote control is truly amazing.

Because it was only recently that a breakthrough was made.

Chen Feng's internal energy reserves are not large; currently, there is only a small amount, enough to cover both fists.

There's still a long way to go before I can cover my whole body completely like my second senior brother.

Chen Feng recalled the old woman from the Li family whom he had defeated; although her true energy was abundant, its quality was extremely low.

He guessed that it was not only due to his weak personal foundation, but also possibly due to the existence of certain cultivation techniques.

The proficiency of the Five Elements Technique is only at the "beginning stage," but the initial signs are already visible, and the generated true energy can even have additional attributes.

Chen Feng can transform his true qi into "metal element true qi," which is much stronger than ordinary true qi in terms of armor-piercing effect.

In actual combat, Chen Feng could use normal true qi to fight first, and then switch to metal element true qi at a critical moment to catch his opponent off guard.

If he were to be even more cunning, he could even incorporate the Shattering Mountain Force into it.

A long convoy of cars moved forward on the official road.

As night fell, the caravan stopped at an inn to rest and replenish their food and water.

Chen Feng's youthful appearance seemed to attract the attention of some businessmen in the group, who sought various opportunities to talk to him and try to recruit him.

Rejection, invitation, rejection again, invitation again, all talk of money and benefits, made Chen Feng a little annoyed.

He simply sat down with the bodyguards.

However, to Chen Feng's surprise, the bodyguard named Ye Jian was an even bigger chatterbox—

"Chen Lang, where are you from?"

"Pingcheng."

"No wonder, your accent sounds local. But I've never seen you before. Where are you from? Which gang's henchman are you?"

"I used to work for the Black Tiger Gang, but I quit because I wasn't earning enough."

Chen Feng casually used the name of the Black Tiger Gang; Ye Jian probably didn't know much about this small gang in the slums.

"No wonder, you don't look like someone who works in a wealthy family. So what brings you all this way?"

"Something happened at home, so I'm planning to go to Yongning Bay to visit relatives and start a business there," Chen Feng made up a reason.

"No wonder, I was wondering why you were all alone."

Chen Feng's lips twitched. Was Ye Jian a "no wonder" type of personality? Why did he always start his sentences with "no wonder"?

"Hey Chen Lang, you also have the surname Chen, do you know that Chen Feng who's been really famous lately?"
