Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

The night was hazy, and gusts of wind blew across the training ground.

Zhou Chen smiled as he looked at the dozen or so disciples who had suddenly appeared on the training ground tonight.

They're usually nowhere to be seen, but they're so eager to hear that the master has come out of seclusion. Could it be that they're hoping the master will have a discerning eye and take them under his wing while he's out and about?

"Zhou Chen, over here." Chen Yunpeng had changed locations today, and greeted Zhou Chen as he approached.

As the only inner disciple on the training ground, Chen Yunpeng's words immediately attracted the attention of many disciples who were pretending to practice martial arts there.

"So Senior Brother Chen and Zhou Chen know each other." Someone said in surprise.

"Could it be that Zhou Chen has been practicing and improving his skills under Senior Brother Chen's guidance every night? No wonder he mastered the basics of staff techniques so quickly." Some disciples suddenly realized, their faces filled with excitement as if they had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

"Senior Brother Chen, why did you change the location today?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Hey, someone must have crammed at the last minute to squeeze into this spot." Chen Yunpeng waved his hand, his long staff flashing like a venomous snake's tongue as it hurtled straight at Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen was not surprised at all. These days, whenever he was on the training ground, it was common for him to suddenly attack someone in the middle of a lively conversation.

The shadows of sticks blurred, and the crackling sounds were incessant.

"Brother Zhou is so powerful!" The disciples present at the training ground were all amazed as they watched the fight intensify in the corner of the training ground.

After dozens of exchanges, using only the Crimson Flame Staff Technique, Zhou Chen was not at a disadvantage at all.

After a while, the two men's crimson sticks clashed, and they tacitly stopped fighting.

"Your Crimson Flame Staff Technique has become increasingly refined, you're making steady progress every day," Chen Yunpeng exclaimed.

Since breaking through to the inner strength stage, for some reason, my cultivation has not progressed at all.

Even if you practice hard day and night, it will be to no avail.

He is twenty years old this year. He broke through to the Inner Strength realm four years ago and is now the same age as Zhou Chen.

Back then, he was one of the top geniuses in Xingde County, and he was no less talented than the currently popular Chen Zhige and Yi Lianxing in the city.

However, in the past four years, his cultivation level has remained at the Yi Jin realm, and even his Crimson Flame Staff Technique has been stuck at the threshold of minor completion.

A sixteen-year-old internal strength martial artist is an unparalleled genius, and a twenty-year-old internal strength martial artist can also be called a genius.

A young martial artist who makes no progress in four years will be called a fool who has wasted his potential by taking banned drugs.

Now, looking at Zhou Chen, a martial artist who can advance even a small step every day, he is extremely envious.

Chen Yunpeng put away his staff and walked out of the training ground, gesturing for Zhou Chen to follow.

After the two left the training ground and found a quiet place, Chen Yunpeng spoke in a low voice.

"The academy master has emerged from seclusion today and is accepting disciples, starting with the outer disciples," Chen Yunpeng said succinctly.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

"Taking on disciples?" Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Therefore, it's not entirely unfounded that these disciples came to the training ground tonight seeking divine intervention.

"Back when the master of the martial arts school came to this county from the county seat, he fought fiercely with the local martial arts schools, and there were even times when the internal martial arts masters died on the stage."

"Therefore, the then county magistrate Zhao De mediated and agreed that each martial arts school would send three strong martial arts instructors under the age of thirty every three years to compete and determine their ranking."

"This time, perhaps because they were overwhelmed by their senior brother, the other two martial arts schools specially requested that there be a competition at the Body Tempering Realm as well, also with three people." Chen Yunpeng paused and looked at Zhou Chen.

"Is the competition that important?" Zhou Chen asked, puzzled.

Chen Yunpeng smiled and said, "A fight can bring fame and fortune, so it's a major event for the martial arts school."

"The reason we're famous is because we're the top martial arts school in the county, and with fame comes profit," Chen Yunpeng continued to explain. "Most importantly, the county government assigns many valuable commissions to various martial arts schools every year, which is a major source of income for these schools."

Zhou Chen's expression shifted slightly as he gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between the martial arts school and the government.

Martial arts schools usually enroll students for training. If the government is short-handed or unable to meet the requirements, they will pay martial arts school experts to solve the problem.

Since the martial arts school was located in Xingde County, it naturally needed to be recognized by the official authorities, which could be described as a win-win situation.

"Also, today the martial arts master emerged from seclusion, and Chief Constable Hong happened to be at the martial arts school to issue a commission."

I've also accepted a commission, so I won't be practicing martial arts here for a while after tonight.

After saying that, Chen Yunpeng took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it in Zhou Chen's hand.

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, perfect for Bone Forging Realm martial artists. Let's strike while the iron is hot tonight to improve our cultivation and perform well tomorrow."

After saying this, Chen Yunpeng turned and left without waiting for Zhou Chen's refusal.

During the day, Constable Hong told me that the target of this manhunt was the cannibalistic monster that had been causing such a stir in the city.

After a group of monsters was wiped out the day before yesterday, another batch emerged, even stronger and posing a wider threat.

He naturally needed to go back and make proper preparations.

"Disciple of the Master." Zhou Chen stared at the porcelain bottle of Qi and Blood Pills in his hand, his eyes flashing.

The Crimson Flame Staff Technique is a combat art. While it can enhance physical attributes when advancing to higher levels, it lacks a method for breaking through internal strength.

The Zhenyue Pillar obtained from the gold paper only has a cultivation method for the Body Tempering Realm, and it is of no help in breaking through the Inner Strength Realm.

To break through the internal strength barrier, one must find other cultivation methods.

There are quite a few strong disciples in the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School; they must have a way to break through.

Tread!

Inside the martial arts school building, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, pouring out a perfectly round, vermilion pill from a porcelain bottle.

A faint aroma of herbs permeated the house; inhaling even a wisp of it slightly invigorated the blood and energy.

"It's much more effective than Qi and Blood Soup," Zhou Chen thought to himself.

This was the first time he had ever seen the elixirs used by martial artists in this world for cultivation.

He tilted his head back and drank the water. The medicinal power, much stronger and more violent than the Qi and Blood Soup, dissolved in his abdomen and slowly merged into his Qi, blood, and muscles.

Zhou Chen simply stood up, slightly bent his knees, clasped his hands together, and stood in a stance.

Once you stand in the Zhenyue Zhuang stance, it's as if the Qi and blood in your abdomen are being drawn in, rushing and flowing into your limbs and bones.

In a short while, the medicinal power of a Qi and Blood Pill had been completely refined.

【Fine: 8.1】

"No increase in spirit attribute?" Zhou Chen glanced at the panel and frowned.

He looked inward and found that his muscles and bones had indeed undergone slight changes, and were not entirely without effect.

Zhou Chen shook the porcelain bottle, poured out another Qi and Blood Pill, and swallowed it decisively.

According to Chen Yunpeng, most martial artists can only take one Qi and Blood Pill per day at most, and even those who fully absorb the medicinal power can only take two.

If taken forcibly, there is a risk that the qi and blood will become excessively turbulent, and the body will be unable to tolerate the tonic.

Clearly, Zhou Chen, whose Qi and blood were stable after taking the Qi and Blood Pill, was not among them.

"Gulp..."

Despite swallowing several Qi and Blood Pills in succession, the Zhenyue Pillar continued to rapidly refine Qi and Blood.

[Precision +0.1]

【Fine: 8.2】

"Five Qi and Blood Pills can only increase the Spirit attribute by 0.1 points?" Zhou Chen shook his head, but he also understood the difficulty of cultivation for ordinary martial artists.

One of these Qi and Blood Pills alone costs ten taels of silver, and a bottle of five costs forty-five taels.

This only increases the Spirit attribute by 0.1 points.
