Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Walking on the same road as yesterday, Zhou Chen's mood was completely different. He felt a sense of triumph, like a horse galloping swiftly on a spring breeze, enjoying all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day.

He carried a basket covered tightly with plants on his back, inside which were dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat.

This meat will ensure he doesn't have to worry about food for at least the next month.

Most importantly, learning the Zhenyue Stance technique is now his chance to become powerful.

"Train the skin, train the flesh, forge the bones, and then there's the even higher level of internal strength!" Zhou Chen's steps were steady, and his eyes shone brightly.

Half an hour later, the sun was still high in the sky, the warmest time of the afternoon, but Zhou Chen had already returned to the village entrance.

The area around the village wall is deserted; the farmers, who only have free time in the evening, are still tending to their cold-resistant crops in the fields.

Zhou Chen tightened the basket on his back and strode into the village.

Cangsong Village is neither too big nor too small among the villages surrounding Yunsong Mountain, with only one or two hundred households.

It was the perfect time for work on a winter afternoon, and only a few children were playing and frolicking along the village paths.

Only two figures, taller than the others, were sunbathing outside a vermilion gate; they were none other than the idle Ma Er and Li Hui.

"Isn't that Zhou Chen? I heard someone saw him go hunting in the mountains yesterday, and it seems he had quite a haul." Ma Er leaned against the courtyard wall, his eyes shining.

He harbored resentment towards Zhou Chen ever since he was stabbed by an arrow a few days ago.

He just wanted some money anyway, but Zhou Chen was so ruthless. He's no good.

Seeing the heavy basket on Zhou Chen's back, his eyes lit up and another plan came to mind.

"It's him." Li Hui, who was sunbathing in a recliner, woke up from his half-asleep state and glanced at Zhou Chen's departing figure.

"Yes, judging from the contents of the basket on his back, he must have quite a lot." Ma Er smiled sinisterly. "Young Master Hui, we were so frightened by him last time that we ran away in a panic. Now that I think about it, he's just at his last gasp."

"That bow wasn't even drawn half a finger; it's nothing but a blustering but cowardly fellow."

"How about we pull off another heist?" Ma Er rubbed his stomach. These days, he had barely managed to make ends meet by serving Li Hui, and he had even injured his legs.

But now Zhou Chen has had a good hunt after entering the mountains. If he could sneak in again, he would definitely be able to steal some meat to treat himself.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui couldn't help but recall the murderous aura that Zhou Chen had shown in his eyes a few days ago. He shook his head and said, "My brother's injuries haven't healed yet, so he went to the county town to ask his teachers for help. I'd better behave myself."

When Ma Er heard that Li Xiong had already gone to the county town, he was secretly pleased.

"Li Xiong went to the county town and it will take him at least a few days to return. During this time, won't that silly boy be completely at my mercy?"

The next moment, he stiffened his neck and said, "So Young Master Hui is afraid of Zhou Chen because Captain Li isn't home."

"That's true. After all, Captain Li isn't here. Someone as useless as me can't accomplish anything." Ma Er said dejectedly, mocking himself.

"Nonsense!" Li Hui recalled the scene that day when he was stunned by Zhou Chen's behavior and heard Ma Er's idiotic words. He suddenly jumped up from the recliner.

"Go, when Zhang Dazhu returns from hunting, go find him and tell him I need to speak with him!"

With a bang, Li Hui stepped into the courtyard behind him through the vermilion gate and slammed it shut.

As Ma Er watched Li Hui storm back home, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "A fool who gets provoked into submission with just a few words."

-----------------

"Creak..."

Zhou Chen pushed open his courtyard gate, then immediately bolted it shut before unloading the basket from his back.

"The caravan from the county town will be here tomorrow, but it's difficult for me to sell this wild boar meat," Zhou Chen thought to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, that pit will definitely be discovered.

If the group chasing Du Chong did not find the gold paper on him, they would inevitably suspect the hunters in the nearby villages.

If he were to try to exchange dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat for supplies, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?

"Once this storm passes, I'll take the meat to Uncle Sun and exchange it for some arrows and rice." With these thoughts in mind, he made up his mind.

He took some meat from his basket, then cut up the remaining wild boar meat and put it in a bucket before sinking it into the well.

The temperature inside the well is much lower than outdoors, and it will freeze in a few days. Placing the wild boar meat inside will help slow down its spoilage.

After processing the excess meat, Zhou Chen looked at the three or four pounds of marbled wild boar meat in front of him and his mouth watered.

"After being transported here for three days, I can finally have a decent meal."

He took some branches from the yard, made a makeshift grill, skewered the wild boar meat, started a fire, and waited amidst the sizzling sound of the fat roasting.

After a while, the wild boar meat, roasted to a golden brown by the charcoal fire, emitted a fragrant aroma.

Zhou Chen hurriedly took the wild boar meat off the plate, cut it into pieces with a dagger, and swallowed it without regard for the scalding heat on the surface of the meat.

In no time, Zhou Chen had eaten three or four pounds of wild boar meat.

Once you reach the Skin Refining Realm and become a martial artist, your skin becomes as tough as cowhide, but your appetite also increases considerably compared to ordinary people.

After eating three or four pounds of wild boar meat, Zhou Chen roused himself and went to the courtyard.

This is the perfect time to practice.

On the muddy ground, Zhou Chen swayed, and it was as if countless roots sprouted from his feet and burrowed downwards.

The next moment, a surge of heat climbed up from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, circled around the crown of the head, and then sank into the dantian like a clay ox entering the sea.

Zhou Chen's expression was neither sad nor happy; all his energy was focused on himself.

As the Zhenyue Pillar was practiced, fine golden lines, resembling tree patterns, spread throughout the body.

They are like the meridians of the human body, with countless tiny spots flowing through them.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Chen's body swayed and rose with the slowly setting sun, but his unwavering composure remained unchanged.

"call……"

An hour later, Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of gray-black air arrow, and immediately felt as if his chronic illness had been cured.

Zhou Chen raised his hand, then suddenly clenched his fist, creating a powerful gust of wind.

"It's even faster than before I started practicing standing meditation," he murmured.

The hour-long Zhenyue Pillar allowed him to clear away most of the old injuries and hidden dangers left in his body by the original owner.

【06:21:32】

Zhou Chen glanced at the countdown displayed on the panel and was already getting impatient.

Now that he has entered the realm of martial artists, his speed and strength have greatly improved compared to before, and he will surely be able to find more relics.

Even if they encountered the plague monster mentioned in the diary, they might still have a fighting chance.

He looked up at the night sky, then took out his longbow from the side, preparing to practice his archery skills.

The technique in the golden pages is called Zhenyue Zhuang, and it only teaches Zhou Chen how to stand in the stance to strengthen his body. As for fighting and killing methods, there is no trace of it.

To hunt more prey and strengthen one's physique, archery practice is essential.
