Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Zhou Chen and Uncle Sun saw that this person could lift the bear demon's corpse weighing over 500 jin with one hand, indicating that he was at least at the peak of the Flesh Refining stage.

Although she wanted to argue her case, she could only glare at the man's back with resentment.

"Tsk, ever since he latched onto the Zhao family's young master, Old Liu has become increasingly domineering." The vigorous old man and the portly man exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

These two bears haven't been dead for very long. If we can bring them to our restaurant, we won't have to worry about not having any gourmets to patronize us.

But Old Liu brought up the vengeful and vengeful young master of the Zhao family, leaving them no room to back down.

A cold winter wind blew by, and Uncle Sun breathed out a puff of white mist.

He immediately bent down and picked up the loose silver coins that Old Liu had thrown on the ground, weighing them in his hand.

"At least the money they promised us wasn't withheld."

Although this transaction was fraught with difficulties, it was at least profitable. With some money from home, we were able to buy enough medicinal herbs for our children.

He looked at Zhou Chen, whose face still showed some anger, and comforted him, "Little Chen, you've never been to the county town before, have you? I'll take you there to see it."

The oxcart creaked and groaned as it set off once again.

Without the two bears holding it down, the old ox pulling the cart was much faster than before.

Before long, they saw a fork in the road that led directly to the city gate.

The large characters of Xingde County are engraved on the gate, and several gatekeepers stand crookedly by the gate, checking passers-by from time to time.

"Uncle Sun, who is this young master of the Zhao family that person mentioned?" Zhou Chen asked, flattening and rolling the one and a half taels of silver that Uncle Sun had given him.

"Xingde County has three prominent families: the Zhao family, the Li family, and the Chen family."

"I don't know exactly who this young master of the Zhao family is, but as long as he has the surname Zhao, even if he is from a collateral branch, he is not someone we can afford to mess with."

"Zhao, Li, Chen?" Zhou Chen asked upon hearing this. "Wasn't Chen Zhige from the last market a member of the Chen family?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhige's name, Uncle Sun nodded emphatically, "Yes, only Young Master Zhige would show kindness to us."

During their conversation, the two arrived at the city gate.

Uncle Sun spent a few copper coins to store the oxcart at the cart shop by the city gate, and then paid the city gate guards the entrance fee before leading Zhou Chen through the city gate.

However, this entrance fee was not in accordance with the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, but was collected privately by the city gate guards.

If a young man in fine clothes on horseback or a luxuriously decorated carriage wants to enter the city, then of course there is no need.

"The officialdom in Xingde County has deteriorated to this extent." Zhou Chen watched as people like him who came to the city voluntarily handed over their allowances, clearly taking it for granted.

As I passed through the city gate, the bustling crowds and the cries of vendors filled my mind, somewhat resembling the ancient city tourist attractions of my previous life.

As soon as Uncle Sun entered the city, his face brightened up, as if the gloom of being bargained down earlier had never existed.

"Xiao Chen, I still need to go get medicine for Xiao Hu. Let's meet outside the city gate at noon to go back." He touched his pocket, tightly guarding the silver he had just received, treasuring it dearly.

The streets of Xingde County are not chaotic, with shops lining the streets one after another, and pedestrians often strolling inside.

Zhou Chen followed the route pointed out by Uncle Sun and soon saw a shop called "Dali Forging Workshop".

During the bear hunt yesterday, if Zhou Chen hadn't controlled his strength, his longbow would have broken several times.

With his current strength at the Body Refining Realm, he can at least use a powerful bow of the Eight Stone level.

Now that I've received some silver, I naturally want to upgrade my equipment.

He strode into the forge, where waves of heat emanated from the back of the shop, and the clanging sounds of forging could be heard from time to time.

In the outer room of the shop, there were rows of neatly arranged weapon racks in front of him.

Every weapon displayed there gleamed with a chilling light.

Upon seeing a guest arrive, the young man who was wiping his weapon stopped what he was doing, carefully put the weapon away, and walked to Zhou Chen's side.

"What kind of weapon does the gentleman require?" Wang Erniu glanced at Zhou Chen out of the corner of his eye, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Having worked in the family shop for so long, this was the first time he had ever met such a handsome young man dressed in linen clothes.

"I need a bow."

Wang Erniu nodded upon hearing this and led Zhou Chen to the other side.

He walked straight to a row of bow racks, took out an earthen-yellow longbow, and handed it to Zhou Chen.

"The Yellow Zhe Bow is forged from thirty-year-old Zhe wood, and the bowstring is made from the tendons of a snake demon who has just begun practicing skin-refining. It can withstand the force of five stones."

Zhou Chen took the Huangzhe bow, put his right hand on the bowstring and pulled it a few times, then shook his head.

"Do you have a ten-stone bow?"

Wang Erniu was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Chen's hands, which did not have the calluses that people who use bows and arrows for many years have, and then looked at his youthful face.

"have."

Although he didn't believe that Zhou Chen, at such a young age, could pull a ten-stone bow, Wang Erniu still agreed.

After all, everyone who enters is a guest.

Even a disciple like him, who had studied at the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School for many years, had only just entered the Flesh Refining stage with the help of Blood Qi Pills obtained from his home.

Even a skilled leather-training expert could only draw a small portion of the ten-stone strong bow.

He took a few steps forward, came to one of the bow racks at the back, and picked up a longbow.

"The Dragon Blood Bow is forged from fifty-year-old dragon blood wood, and the bowstring is made from the tendons of a bear demon that has mastered the art of leatherworking. It can withstand the force of ten stones."

Zhou Chen took it; the Dragon Blood Bow was significantly heavier than the Yellow Zhe Bow.

With his right hand on the bowstring, the powerful elasticity resisted Zhou Chen.

"What a fine bow!" Zhou Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "How much silver do you want?"

He touched the two taels of silver he had on him and was somewhat worried that he wouldn't have enough money.

Wang Erniu saw that Zhou Chen's bow-drawing stance resembled that of someone holding a tiger's tail, yet he wasn't pulling the bowstring with great force, and knew he had met someone who knew what he was doing.

"The Dragon Blood Bow is used by martial artists who train their flesh, and it is priced at one tael and four mace of silver."

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.

He only has one and a half taels of silver on him right now. If he buys this Dragon Blood Bow, where will he get the arrows?

Moreover, the time to pay the annual tax will be approaching in a few days.

According to past practice, he needed to pay five qian of silver to be exempt from corvée labor.

But if he had this bow, and encountered that bear demon again, he could kill it with an arrow from a hundred paces away without Uncle Sun having to lift a finger.

In this way, paying the annual tax is a piece of cake.

A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and asked, "If I buy this bow, could you also throw in some arrows?"

This is Zhou Chen's first time haggling, both in his past and present lives.

Wang Erniu raised an eyebrow when he saw that Zhou Chen really wanted to buy the Dragon Blood Bow.

"Can he really pull it?"

He rolled his eyes and replied, "If you buy a bow and arrow, the blacksmith will give you a quiver of brand new arrows."

"Alright!" Zhou Chen immediately handed the still-warm one tael and four mace of silver to Wang Erniu and touched the Dragon Blood Bow.

"Would you like to try the bow, sir?" Wang Erniu reminded him, seeing that Zhou Chen had readily taken out silver without even trying the bow.

After all, if this person buys the bow and arrows but can't draw them, it will damage the reputation of Dali Forging Workshop.
