Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points
Chapter 25 Stepping into the World of Meat Processing
Bang!
The two fists collided, and Zhou Chen staggered back several steps, his Zhenyue Zhuang stance forcibly broken.
The plague monster was punched, its body swayed, and it charged forward again.
beep, beep...
Inside the pavilion, stone bricks were crushed to pieces, and the wind howled.
A kick came with lightning speed. Just as Zhou Chen was about to defend, the plague monster's toe flicked, changing the straight line into a curve, and it struck him squarely in the chest and abdomen.
With tremendous force, Zhou Chen was sent flying like a burlap sack being torn apart.
The next moment, a large foot stepped down on Zhou Chen's neck with a commanding presence.
In the real world, Zhou Chen suddenly woke up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Uncle Sun looked at Zhou Chen, who had just woken up, and asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, did you have a nightmare?"
Hearing Uncle Sun's shouts, Zhou Chen gradually regained consciousness.
"I'm not dead?"
At this moment, Zhou Chen's mind was as chaotic as mush. Although every attack he had just received in the old world had not manifested in his physical body...
But they all endured it with their spirits.
"Of course you're not dead, we're perfectly fine."
"Once we sell these two bear carcasses and collect enough for the annual tax, we can use the extra money to make a good purchase," Uncle Sun said, his words filled with anticipation for the future.
Zhou Chen listened to Uncle Sun's words intermittently, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
With a thought, the panel appeared before my eyes.
Name: Zhou Chen
[Realm: Skin Refining Realm]
【00:00:00】
【Fine: 1.9】
[Qi: 0.0]
[God: 0.3 (1.5)]
[Supernatural Ability: Spirit Tracking (Beginner, 10%)]
[Skill: Archery (Proficient, 1%)]
[Trap (Beginner, 52%)]
【Zhenyue Stance (Beginner, 7%)】
[Relics: Breakthrough Relic (Beginner) *3, Three Treasures Relic (Beginner) *1]
"An extra relic of the Three Treasures?"
Zhou Chen rubbed his temples, recalling the moment he was kicked away by the plague monster, crashing into the relics in the pavilion.
It was around that time that the panel included it.
His current strength is indeed a notch above that of Zhang Dazhu and Uncle Sun, who are untrained martial artists.
However, compared to martial artists with family-inherited skills, they are far inferior in both martial arts techniques and footwork.
He didn't even know how to maximize his own power when throwing a punch.
"The Zhenyue Stance is just a training method; the right path is to go to a martial arts school to learn real martial arts." Zhou Chen pondered, glancing at the bear corpse behind him, hoping to sell it for a good price.
Then, he frowned and looked at the countdown, which was still at zero after he left the old world.
If he dies once and can no longer enter, then he will have suffered a huge loss.
"Use the Three Treasures Relics." After sorting out all the changes that occurred after his death in the old world, Zhou Chen's thoughts turned.
[Using the Three Treasures Relic (Basic), Spirit +0.5]
【Fine: 2.4】
His strength has been improved many times and he has now reached the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. Perhaps with the attributes provided by the Three Treasures Relics, he may be able to enter the Flesh Refinement Realm.
Just like last time, black threads emanated from around the panel and entered Zhou Chen's body, then spread to his limbs and bones.
Zhou Chen leaned against the oxcart, feeling his muscle cells gradually being filled with power, and even the pain in his head was relieved by the feeling of power.
[Realm: Flesh Refining Realm]
"A breakthrough?"
Zhou Chen sat up from the oxcart, his hands clenched into fists, as if he had inexhaustible strength inside him.
If he weren't still on his journey, he would definitely test his current strength.
Uncle Sun, who had been driving the carriage beside Zhou Chen, suddenly felt the temperature beside him rise a few degrees.
Seeing Zhou Chen sit up, he looked at him by the moonlight and found that Zhou Chen's body was even more robust than before.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was just seeing things because he was tired from rushing to catch the train.
"Uncle Sun, why don't you take a nap? I'll catch the carriage." Seeing Uncle Sun's appearance, Zhou Chen knew that the changes caused by his breakthrough to the Body Refining Realm had aroused his suspicion.
Uncle Sun nodded helplessly, "Perhaps I really am getting old; my eyesight is already failing me by this late hour."
Zhou Chen took the whip and drove the oxcart until the next morning when he could see the towering city walls in the distance, and then he woke up Uncle Sun.
After washing themselves in a puddle by the roadside, the two drove for another hour before finally meeting the other people on the main road.
Along the way, the oxcart carrying the two bear demons did not attract much attention.
At this time, apart from a few people like Zhou Chen who were entering the city for the first time, most of the people who entered the city had entered it quite a few times.
It's no longer unusual for hunters from various villages to bring their catch to the county town to sell.
Zhou Chen even saw that many people had swords and knives at their waists, looking quite capable.
The platform truly determines one's potential.
Within Cangsong Village, a skin-training martial artist like Uncle Sun is already considered exceptionally strong, while a bone-forging expert like Li Xiong is even more outstanding.
Here, within the psychic vision, one could see countless beings with blood and qi as if they were in a furnace.
It's a time when people are constantly training their skin and their bones are as numerous as dogs.
"Let's go this way." Uncle Sun drove the oxcart toward the fork in the main road.
After walking for a while longer, the stench of blood on both sides of the official road gradually intensified, constantly irritating Zhou Chen's nose.
In the distance, five or six enormous buildings lay like low hills on the ground.
That was a slaughterhouse outside Xingde County.
The officials in the county town couldn't stand the sight of blood, so all meat transported into the town had to be slaughtered and cleaned outside the town before it was allowed to enter.
That's why Uncle Sun drove the bear carcass this way.
Every day, the major restaurants in the city send people here to purchase the freshest game to be used as seasonal dishes in their restaurants.
"Hey, a bear demon that's about to be processed into meat, and a bear cub with delicate skin and tender flesh." Before the oxcart even reached the building, several people had already gathered around.
The men had bulging money bags hanging from their waists, and their eyes darted around the two bear carcasses.
"It's been dead for less than a day, still quite fresh." A sprightly old man pressed the bear carcass and nodded in satisfaction.
"Gentlemen, please name your price." Uncle Sun was clearly no stranger to this kind of thing; he had been here quite often when Zhou Chen's father was still alive.
"Two taels of silver," a middle-aged, well-to-do man said.
Uncle Sun remained expressionless and looked at the others.
"The rooster is still stingy; bears are hard to find in the dead of winter." The sprightly old man shook his head with a smile. "Two ounces and five mace."
"Old Li is right. The other day, the young master of the Zhao family said he wanted to eat bear paws. This time, I'm sorry, I can't refuse." The gaunt middle-aged man beside the old man cupped his hands in greeting. "Three taels."
When Uncle Sun heard the price quoted by the gaunt middle-aged man, his expression remained calm; the price was clearly not close to his expectations.
Upon hearing the name of the young master of the Zhao family, the portly man and the vigorous old man who were bidding nearby immediately lost their desire to compete and fell silent.
If his restaurant offended the Zhao family because of a bear demon at the Skin Refining Realm, his boss would be ready to kill him if he found out.
"This." Uncle Sun looked at the two silent men, then looked up at the gaunt man and opened his mouth.
"Sir, these two bears were hunted with our lives on the line. How about you give us some more?"
Based on past experience, Uncle Sun expected the two bears to fetch around five taels of silver.
But the skinny man immediately used the name of the young master of the Zhao family to pressure people, which drove the price down considerably.
The difference between the two is a full two taels of silver, and the annual tax is no more than that.
The gaunt man, seeing that Uncle Sun and Zhou Chen were only at the Skin Refining level, tossed a few pieces of silver onto the ground.
"Take the money and get out of here, or you'll all stay here too."
Having said that, he used his eagle-claw-like hands to lift the two bear carcasses and walked towards the slaughterhouse.
