Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Xingde County, Tianxianlou.

Inside the top-floor private room, the lights were on, and the melodious sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments drifted from behind a screen on one side.

On the other side, a stove was burning fine charcoal, warding off the chill of deep winter.

Li Wuji leaned back in a fine nanmu chair, with a table full of delicacies in front of him.

However, he didn't care at all, and instead got up again and again to look out the window.

"Little Pear, has any news come through?"

"Young Master, there's still no word from Afu." The maid named Xiaoli asked, looking puzzled.

The young master said he was going to host a banquet for guests today, but it's been almost a quarter of an hour since the appointed time, and there's still no sign of them.

The person who was invited to the banquet must be quite a big shot.

Just then, a noise came from the stairs.

Tatata!

The steps were sometimes heavy, sometimes light, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

"Young Master, Young Master Zhou has arrived."

The door to the private room creaked open.

A pockmarked young man dressed as a servant walked briskly ahead, bending over to lead the way for the people behind him.

Seeing Zhou Chen approaching with the crimson bronze staff, unhurried and without a single injury, Li Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly.

The next moment, he put on a fake smile and stood up to greet him: "Senior Brother Zhou, please take a seat."

Zhou Chen smiled warmly and said, "Junior Brother Li, I encountered a little 'trouble' on the way, which delayed me for a moment. I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Upon hearing this, Li Wuji's smile froze. "Recently, there has been a lot of talk about cannibalistic monsters in the city. Senior Brother Zhou should be careful."

Zhou Chen took in Li Wuji's expression and began to speculate about the reason for tonight's attack.

He walked to the table and glanced at the dishes, all made with ingredients rarely seen on ordinary days.

With the exquisite cooking of Tianxianlou's top chefs, the entire private room was filled with an enticing aroma.

Zhou Chen took the white jade-like glass wine pot, slowly poured himself a cup of wine, but did not drink it, his gaze still fixed on Li Wuji.

"He was just a petty thief who didn't know any better. He practiced some mediocre martial arts and died in no time."

"Clang!" Li Wuji's body went limp, bumping into the table and chairs behind him, his face pale.

Xiang Feng is really dead!

As an instructor at the Tieshi Martial Arts School, Xiang Feng possessed a mastery of external martial arts, ranking among the top practitioners of Yi Jin Jing in Xingde County. Yet, he died just like that!

Seeing Zhou Chen staring at him with interest, he said weakly, "Senior brother is very powerful. Even though my family has a divine doctor and precious medicine, my wounds have not yet healed."

Zhou Chen nodded, without questioning the truthfulness of Li Wuji's words.

He originally thought that the black-clad giant at the Yi Jin level had come because of Li Xiong, whom he had killed at their martial arts school some time ago.

Now it seems that this has a great deal to do with Li Wuji.

"You promised me that you would have a physician treat Shi Feng after attending the banquet. Does that count?"

"This?" Li Wuji was taken aback upon hearing this.

After being seriously injured by Zhou Chen yesterday, he was sent home by his servants.

His father, Li Youde, did the right thing by asking the renowned physician from the Zhao family to treat him, which is why he is in his current condition.

The promises made earlier were nothing but empty promises.

After all, with Xiang Feng, a martial artist specializing in Yi Jin Jing, making a move, Zhou Chen was certain to die.

But the most unlikely scenario is already before our eyes.

His reputation made it difficult for that renowned doctor to intervene.

"That's right, I will fulfill Senior Brother Zhou's conditions." Li Wuji readily agreed.

Judging from Zhou Chen's posture, if we don't play along first, he might turn hostile on the spot.

However, no matter how well Li Wuji put on a show, he still slipped up under the perception of the spiritual tracking ability.

Zhou Chen felt Li Wuji's heart pounding wildly, and even his blood flow seemed to quicken. He knew something was wrong.

I'm afraid that Li Wuji's claim of inviting a divine physician to treat Shi Feng's injuries was just a pretext to get him to attend the banquet.

He rolled his eyes, but didn't react immediately. He pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Come on, eat! Don't waste this meal."

Inside the Tianxianlou restaurant, the two remained silent, the only sound being the clinking of chopsticks.

After a while, the table was in disarray, and the several jugs of fine wine that Li Wuji usually couldn't bear to drink were already empty.

Zhou Chen, his face flushed, stood up unsteadily, hooked his arm around Li Wuji's shoulder, and walked down the stairs.

"Junior Brother Li, this wine is quite good today. Let's drink until we're completely drunk another day."

A moment later, Li Wuji stood outside the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion, watching Zhou Chen's figure disappear. His smile vanished instantly, leaving only a frosty expression.

"Afu, go and see how Xiang Feng died."

"Could it be that Yi Yan sent experts from the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School to protect this person as soon as he entered the martial arts school?"

Li Wuji's face was sinister, and his teeth were grinding together.

The treatment he received from the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School was all he deserved!

From the shadows in the corner, a martial artist with a full beard appeared, bowed to Li Wuji, and disappeared.

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

It was late at night, and the streets were deserted.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the smell of alcohol on Zhou Chen's face instantly disappeared, revealing his bright and alert eyes.

"Li Wuji".

He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

This person has repeatedly provoked me.

He even hired a Yi Jin Jing martial artist to assassinate me. If I hadn't broken through to the Yi Jin Jing by chance, I would have really fallen into his trap.

Afterwards, Zhou Chen found a jacket that was hanging outside the window and hadn't been taken down yet, put it on, and left a few loose silver coins on the spot.

Turning a corner, Zhou Chen, with his handsome appearance resembling that of a young master from a noble family, disappeared from sight.

Then a middle-aged man with a fierce face and wearing a purple rich man's jacket walked out.

"These seventy-two transformations are truly powerful tools for killing and robbing. I wonder if they can change one's physical form once one reaches the mastery level."

With his face full of fat, Zhou Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes and ran towards Li Wuji's residence.

He had previously heard Li Wuji's follower boast in the martial arts school that Li Wuji was not yet twenty years old when the Li family bestowed upon him an entire mansion to establish his own residence. In addition, dozens of shops were allocated to him to run, which can be described as extremely good treatment.

Li Wuji's house was located in Tai'anfang, in the south of the city.

That place was also the most common residence for scions of prominent families.

Tread!

Zhou Chen gathered his energy and lightened his body, running in the direction of Tai'anfang.

After traveling for a good half hour and passing several groups of patrolling warriors, a brightly lit street came into view.

Even today, with cannibalistic monsters roaming the land, this place remains prosperous.

Zhou Chen disappeared into the crowd and asked a passerby where the young master of the Li family lived.

After turning another street corner, Zhou Chen's fleshy face disappeared, replaced by a lean and wiry appearance.

This face belonged to a villain he had just seen on a wanted poster posted by the roadside.

It just so happens to be a martial artist at the Yi Jin Jing level who is skilled at using daggers to kill and rob, and he used it as a cover.

After climbing over the courtyard wall, Zhou Chen found a dark spot to hide, using his Seventy-Two Transformations technique to conceal his aura.

"I heard that the young master came back in a rage tonight, and even Commander Fu was punished." Two guards at the Muscle Refining Realm were patrolling the courtyard, chatting idly.

"That's right, young master always does that when he suffers a loss outside."

"It's said that a young master was humiliated by a kid named Zhou Chen..."

Before Zhou Chen could hear more, footsteps approached from afar, interrupting their conversation.

"Greetings, young master." The two guards quickly bowed and greeted him, not daring to offend Li Wuji, who was walking in angrily.
