Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Within Zhou Chen's body, seventy acupoints frantically absorbed external vital energy, which slowly flowed into his lower dantian.

He opened his eyes and felt the strength of his internal energy increase significantly, which filled him with joy.

"Without the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, even with the resources of the panel and the Qiankun Realm, it's useless if you can't anchor your acupoints."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself, feeling fortunate to have obtained this profound and mysterious supernatural power.

Then, he turned his gaze to the accumulated relics from the breakthrough realm and began to consider how to use them.

This time, I obtained a total of twelve low-level breakthrough relics in the Qiankun Realm. What's even more gratifying is that two of them reached the intermediate level.

Based on past patterns, this is equivalent to twenty low-level breakthrough relics.

For the cultivation techniques Zhou Chen currently possesses, this is already sufficient.

【Skill: Zhenyue Stance (Mastery, 16%)】

【Crimson Flame Staff Technique (Perfect)】

【Crimson Flame True Skill (Mastery, 2%)】

Archery (Mastery, 12%)

【The Amazing Step (Beginner, 31%)】

Zhou Chen looked up and down at the cultivation techniques on the panel, pondering them.

The Crimson Flame Staff Technique has reached perfection, while the Soaring Step, perhaps due to the level of the technique, requires a great many breakthrough relics to advance to a higher level.

With the current proficiency level of 31%, it would take six more beginner-level breakthrough relics just to upgrade it to mastery.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen obtained a sufficient number of breakthrough relics this time.

Even if six are used, the remaining fourteen are enough to upgrade either the Zhenyue Pillar or any of the archery techniques to perfection.

Zhou Chen's gaze flickered between the Zhenyue Stake and archery for a moment before he made a decision.

"Upgrade the 'Soaring Step' and 'Mountain-Suppressing Stance'!"

With a thought, only one of the twenty breakthrough relics that he had accumulated over a long period of battle remained.

What I gained in return was a warm current that kept growing stronger within my body.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of soft popping sounds, like the sound of a cork being popped, emanated from Zhou Chen's body; these were the sounds of true energy overflowing and breaking through his acupoints.

【Zhenyue Stake (Completed)】

【Swift Step (Mastery, 3%)】

[Precision +0.4]

【Fine: 21.6】

[Qi +2]

[Qi: 5.5]

The feeling brought about by the perfect completion of the Zhenyue Stance was different from that of the Crimson Flame Staff Technique.

At that moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Chen's mind.

The figure had disheveled hair and was barefoot, standing on a tortoise and a snake. He wore a black robe, held a sharp sword in his hand, and carried a black eagle flag on his back. His majestic appearance was like that of a god.

Suddenly, the figure in Zhou Chen's mind moved.

The sword in his hand vanished, leaving his hands empty, yet he seemed to wield the Great Dao.

His steps were like a tortoise and a snake coiled together, sometimes as steady and unassuming as a tortoise, and sometimes as agile and quick as a snake.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da Niu, are you inside?"

After some time, a noise came from outside the door, and Aunt Sun's voice came from outside the house.

Zhou Chen slowly awoke, his eyes flashing like lightning, illuminating the empty room with white light.

He moved his body, and his limbs made popping sounds.

"The Zhenyue Stance actually has the effect of inhaling and exhaling true qi." His eyes flashed with surprise, and he was even more amazed when he recalled the tall figure in his mind practicing the fist technique.

Tread!

Zhou Chen lifted the latch and opened the door.

Aunt Sun and Xiao Hua waited outside the door, with a wild boar hind leg in her hand.

"Da Niu, is everything alright?" Aunt Sun was relieved to see Zhou Chen appear.

She had called out many times outside, but no one responded. The door was bolted shut by Zhou Chen, preventing her from entering. She couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was unharmed, she felt relieved.

"I'm fine." Zhou Chen smiled and stepped aside to welcome the two into the house.

"Here, your uncle had a good harvest today. I heard that Xiao Chen's relatives came to the village, so he asked me to give you this wild boar leg."

Zhou Chen looked at the wild boar leg in front of him with a nostalgic expression.

Uncle Sun was indeed as generous as ever, just like the pheasant that had accompanied him when he transmigrated.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Uncle and Aunt." Zhou Chen took the wild boar leg and subconsciously rubbed Sun Xiaohua's head.

He flipped his hand, revealing a handful of candy, which was left in Yi Yan's spatial ring.

"Little Flower, Big Brother Niu is treating you to candy."

Sun Xiaohua wasn't annoyed when Zhou Chen ruffled her hair. She happily took the candy, took one out and put it in her mouth, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with sweetness.

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

"Mom, why does Brother Da Niu seem so familiar?" Sun Xiaohua carefully hugged the candy as she walked out of Zhou Chen's house, looking a little puzzled.

Aunt Sun looked thoughtful, and also somewhat curious.

In the past, it wasn't so easy for others to pat their daughter's head.

But this week, Da Niu only met twice, and the daughter just let it go.

She didn't even see where the handful of candy came from; it was as if it had been magically produced.

"Perhaps Xiao Chen's relatives are all quite capable," Aunt Sun thought, puzzled, and quickly walked home with Sun Xiaohua in her arms.

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

After seeing Aunt Sun and her daughter off, Zhou Chen picked up the wild boar leg on the table. Without even taking a knife to cut it, he raised his hand, and crimson true energy surged forth, its temperature several times higher than that of an ordinary stove.

He focused intently on manipulating the Crimson Flame True Qi to evenly coat the wild boar leg, making it resemble a fiery red oiled paper.

In just a few breaths, the wild boar leg on this beast, which must have been at the Refining Skin Realm, began to sizzle and ooze oil.

The overflowing oil dripped onto the surrounding true qi, where it was broken into oil droplets and flowed back into the wild boar leg without being lost at all.

The improvements to the Jinghong Step and the Zhenyue Stance greatly enhanced Zhou Chen's Qi attribute.

Unbeknownst to him, 110 of the 120 acupoints connected to the lower dantian in Zhou Chen's body had been opened.

Once ten more points are opened, one can then use their inner energy to attempt to open the core acupoint of the middle dantian—the Shenque point.

At that time, one can ascend to the middle dantian, nourish the spirit with qi, and the circulation of true qi will become more and more free. With a thought, true qi will arrive, and one can truly say that it is as easy as using one's own arm.

A few breaths later, the aroma of the wild boar leg in Zhou Chen's hand reached its peak, filling the entire courtyard with fragrance.

Zhou Chen swallowed hard, withdrew the true energy that had enveloped the wild boar leg, and couldn't help but feel a strong urge to eat.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty meal." Zhou Chen bit into a large piece of wild boar meat, clenched his teeth, and swallowed it.

The moment the wild boar leg entered Zhou Chen's stomach, all the nutrients it contained were absorbed.

When a martial artist reaches the Refining the Internal Organs realm, all five internal organs are strengthened, and their digestive abilities are greatly enhanced.

The wild boar leg that Zhou Chen was currently eating was merely the flesh and blood of a monster that had been refining its skin, so it was being digested very quickly.

A moment later, Zhou Chen wiped the oil-stained corners of his mouth and suddenly spat out a thin black thread.

A thin thread struck the courtyard wall, penetrating several inches.

The thin black thread was the impurity that Zhou Chen had swallowed from the wild boar leg, which he had now spat out.

By this time, dusk had fallen, and the moonlight was shining down.

Zhou Chen's body was coiled like a tortoise and a snake, swaying occasionally, like a tortoise peeking out its head and a snake flicking its tongue.

This was the starting stance of the figure that appeared in my mind after the Zhenyue Stake was upgraded to perfection.

The next moment, hundreds of acupoints around his body absorbed true energy, vaguely condensing into countless tiny vortexes.
