Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

At the entrance of Cangsong Village, horse-drawn carriages, laden with goods, were ready to depart for the next nearby village.

Even after Chen Zhige and the others mounted their horses and rode away, many people in Cangsong Village were still pondering the matter.

Ten taels of silver might be just a tip that someone like Chen Zhige could give away casually, but for the people of Cangsong Village, it was a huge sum of money that could change the lives of their entire families.

As soon as the caravan from the county town left, Zhou Chen took the newly purchased arrows and went into the mountains.

"What Chen Zhige found should be the gold paper on the man in black yesterday."

It seems the value of this Zhenyue Pillar is far greater than I thought.

Once inside the mountains, Zhou Chen deliberately avoided the pitfall from the previous day and headed straight in.

As dusk fell, Zhou Chen carried a Cloud Pine Rabbit and two pheasants out of Cloud Pine Mountain.

As evening fell and the farmers took a break, they saw Zhou Chen carrying a full load of his hunted animals once again, but they no longer dared to make sarcastic remarks to his face.

Instead, she revealed a hint of ingratiation when Zhou Chen's gaze swept over her.

The village of Cangsong has nearly a hundred households, most of whom make a living by farming. Hunters, though a high-risk profession, are also feared because of their formidable martial prowess.

Hunters, especially those who have a daily catch, have reached a high level of archery skill that ordinary people dare not provoke.

The news that Zhang Dazhu, who had already become a martial arts practitioner, sought out Zhou Chen last night but was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed spread throughout the village.

In this way, Zhou Chen's reputation instantly changed from that of a sickly man to a powerful figure feared by everyone in the village.

"Hmph, when Li Xiong comes back, he'll probably be back in bed again." Some people were still jealous, but they only dared to mutter a few words to themselves.

【Tracking (Beginner, 5%)】

[Trap (Beginner, 52%)]

【Zhenyue Stance (Beginner, 4%)】

[Relic: Breakthrough Relic (Beginner) *2]

"Using moving, living objects as targets will significantly accelerate the improvement of archery skills."

As Zhou Chen watched his archery skills improve by four points in a single day, a thought flashed through his mind.

If I had been born into a wealthy family with abundant resources, my archery skills would probably have advanced by now.

Zhou Chen deftly pulled out a dagger, cleaned the two pheasants, and cooked them together with brown rice.

"Two pheasants should be enough for my cultivation."

He picked up his bow and arrows, took out the target from the center of the courtyard and placed it against the wall, then stood on the other side of the wall, about fifty paces apart.

With Zhou Chen's beginner-level archery skills, he could hit the bullseye almost every time he aimed within thirty paces.

However, when the distance increases to fifty paces, hitting the target becomes extremely difficult.

Draw the bow, nock the arrow...

The whooshing sound of arrows echoed continuously in the courtyard.

Zhou Chen adjusted the angle and force little by little, constantly moving closer to the target.

"Thump..."

Finally, the arrow hit the bullseye.

Archery progress +1

Archery: Beginner (24%)

Zhou Chen spent the entire evening practicing his skills, except for a break for dinner.

He had heard the commotion yesterday when the three men were crouching outside the wall, and Li Xiong, who was to return tomorrow, felt like a huge boulder pressing down on him.

During this period, if his arms became sore and numb after practicing for a long time, Zhou Chen would switch to practicing the Zhenyue Stance.

This frantic training, which earned him three points of archery proficiency, also made him hungry again.

As Zhou Chen chewed on the wild boar meat, he thought, "Martial arts training consumes so much energy, and ordinary food provides only so much. No wonder only large cities that produce elixirs and precious medicines can supply stronger martial artists."

Feeling his empty stomach being barely filled, Zhou Chen summoned the control panel and waited silently.

[Energy accumulated. Enter the old world?]

"yes!"

As Zhou Chen silently recited the command, he appeared once again in the study of the mansion in the blink of an eye.

Without lingering, he hurried to the door and saw rows of buildings in the distance, with a Taoist temple in the center, exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

"Hopefully, we can find another relic that allows us to break through to the next level."

After a night of training, I have raised my proficiency in basic archery to level 27. With just three breakthrough artifacts, I can directly advance to the next level.

Zhou Chen walked alone on the street, the echoes of his footsteps echoing through the empty surroundings, which was somewhat eerie.

When he passed by the low thatched houses around him, he would push open the doors and search inside, but he still found nothing.

Tread!

Turning the corner of the street, a figure in gray clothes stood motionless in the distance, like a dead object.

"The plague monster." Zhou Chen's pupils contracted, and his steps involuntarily slowed down.

However, the plague monster seemed to sense something, its body suddenly trembled, and it twisted a few times, like a machine that had not been lubricated for a long time.

"Hmm..."

With its usual loud roar, the plague monster charged towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen stared at the plague monster's pale, grayish skin. The dough remained motionless, only assuming the stance of a mountain-suppressing pillar.

boom!

Click!

He parted the monster's clawed hands with one hand, then punched it in the head.

The plague monster was instantly decapitated.

Picking up the two green coins that had fallen to the ground, Zhou Chen walked towards the location of the plague monster.

A white-glowing relic floated in mid-air, like a spherical street lamp.

Zhou Chen's expression softened as he faced the strange man with the plague, revealing a slight smile.

"good."

Looking at the three breakthrough relics he had accumulated, a hamster-like sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

The next moment, the three breakthrough relics on the panel were instantly cleared.

[Consumes 3 Beginner Level Breakthrough Relics]

Archery (Mastery, 1%)

In a moment of sudden inspiration and mastery of archery, countless archery techniques flooded Zhou Chen's mind.

He held his hands in the air as if he actually held an arrow, his eyes slightly narrowed, feeling that he had taken another step closer to mastering archery.

"He is an expert archer, hitting the bullseye every time within fifty paces, and he can certainly try his hand at archery from a hundred paces away."

As his archery skills surged, Zhou Chen's muscles trembled continuously, and a warm current flowed through his meridians.

【Fine: 1.9】

"Mastery of skin training?"

Zhou Chen clenched his fist, and golden threads appeared on his skin, like the texture of tree bark.

"I wonder, between Uncle Sun and me, who is stronger now?"

Clearing his mind of distractions, Zhou Chen didn't dwell on the changes in his body.

Now that we are in the old world, every second is extremely precious, so we should take the opportunity to find as many relics as possible.

Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking came from the end of the alley.

Tread!

Zhou Chen followed the sound and walked to the end of the alley, where he saw a house that was much lower than that of ordinary people standing in front of him.

Although the house was low, it was surrounded by a wonderfully pleasant aroma of incense.

The barking was coming from there.

"Whose dog lives in such a luxurious house? It must be the one guarding the temple gate."

Zhou Chen looked around the house and felt that it resembled the roadside temple in his previous life, but it was much larger, perhaps because it was more efficacious.

As he drew closer, he heard the barking of the dogs grow louder and louder, and even the temple gate shook violently, as if a huge object was crashing into it from behind.

"Still a fierce dog."

Considering the unclear situation inside the temple, Zhou Chen leaped slightly onto the wall and surveyed the scene inside.
