Chapter 12: Yi’s Archery, Adding Points
【Cultivation Method: Yi’s Archery】
【Realm: Body Refinement, First Level: Skin Tempering(0/1000)】
“Can add points!”
Zhou Chen was overjoyed, the big stone hanging in his heart finally landed.
“Add points for me!”
Zhou Chen added the Romance Point he gained from petting the little fox in the morning.
Instantly.
Information about Yi’s Archery flowed through his mind, as if he had studied it dozens of times, reciting it backwards and forwards.
“Just one point made me able to recite Yi’s Archery backwards and forwards!”
Zhou Chen was very satisfied, although he didn’t have any Romance Points for the time being, but a thousand Romance Points would only take a little over a month.
According to the introduction in Yi’s Archery, cultivating immortality requires a Spiritual Root, through which one can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and directly cultivate magical power.
While martial artists start from themselves, strengthening their physical bodies.
Therefore.
The first major realm of a martial artist is the Body Refinement Realm, through cultivation, tempering the physique from the outside in, allowing the body to transform, with every movement, splitting mountains and cracking rocks.
Even powerful martial artists, plucking stars and grabbing the moon, shattering galaxies, are not inferior to cultivators!
“So martial arts in this world can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Path, practicing martial arts also has a future, but if I can get my hands on an immortal cultivation method, I should be able to cultivate both immortality and martial arts…”
Zhou Chen didn’t know if he had a Spiritual Root, but he had the Wind and Moon Mirror.
Since martial arts methods can be cultivated by adding points, immortal cultivation methods most likely can too.
“But it’s already luck to obtain Yi’s Archery, don’t think about immortal cultivation methods for now!”
Zhou Chen focused his mind on Yi’s Archery.
Body Refinement is divided into nine levels.
The first level is Skin Tempering, after mastering it, the skin becomes as tough as cowhide, like wearing a layer of armor, ordinary swords and blades cannot injure it.
Skin Tempering is not just about tempering the skin, the human body is a whole, Skin Tempering just focuses on the human skin.
During the cultivation process, the skin changes the most, but the entire body will also become stronger, just not as much as the skin.
“I wonder what level of Body Refinement Zhang Long is at?”
Zhou Chen thought of the County Captain of Qing He County, Zhang Long, who could kill a vicious tiger with one strike, but even if it was just the first level of Body Refinement, it was not something ordinary people could deal with.
At the first level of Body Refinement, Skin Tempering Realm, one generally has a thousand “jin” of strength, with skin as tough as cowhide, ordinary people are not on the same level as them.
“My archery hasn’t reached the Transformation Realm, I can’t cultivate Yi’s Archery myself, I can only rely on adding points for now!”
Zhou Chen took out a fire starter, burned the Yi’s Archery manual to ashes, then took Cao Lao Tou’s broken shoes outside and burned them.
Zhou Chen was well aware of the principle of “possessing a valuable object invites disaster.”
Cao Lao Tou had never told him about martial artists, nor that he possessed Yi’s Archery, there must be a reason for this.
With Zhou Chen’s original talent, it was impossible for him to cultivate his archery to the Transformation Realm, even if Cao Lao Tou told Zhou Chen about Yi’s Archery, it would be useless, only adding danger.
After dealing with the broken shoes, Zhou Chen pulled out the little fox and petted its head.
After a little while.
Qin Hong Yu finished cooking.
【Romance Point +1】
Zhou Chen directly added it to Yi’s Archery.
Instantly.
Zhou Chen’s consciousness seemed to pick up a bow and arrow in a mountain forest, entering a state of man and arrow as one, gently performing the Body Tempering Postures of Yi’s Archery.
As one Body Tempering Posture after another was performed, Zhou Chen’s Qi and blood surged within his body, his skin faintly tingling with an itchy sensation.
After one round, Zhou Chen came back to his senses, only a moment had passed in reality.
Zhou Chen savored the Body Tempering Postures of Yi’s Archery he had just cultivated by adding points, as well as the state of man and arrow as one, like a dried-up sponge, greedily absorbing the nutrients and moisture within.
A long time passed.
Zhou Chen collected his thoughts, his whole being feeling refreshed, his physical strength seemingly having increased a little bit.
The increase might be an illusion, but Zhou Chen discovered that his archery had actually leaped from Minor Achievement to Great Achievement.
“Holy crap!”
Zhou Chen widened his eyes, he hadn’t expected such a gain.
But thinking about the state of man and arrow as one he had just experienced, the rapid progress in his archery was also reasonable.
“So it seems, even if I don’t add points to archery, just adding points to Yi’s Archery, my archery will soon reach the Transformation Realm!”
Zhou Chen was in high spirits, this saved him a lot of Romance Points.
“Brother Chen, dinner’s ready!”
Qin Hong Yu brought Zhou Chen a big bowl full of white rice.
Zhou Chen sat down and started eating heartily.
Qin Hong Yu’s flushed eyes gazed at Zhou Chen with infatuation, her father was dead, now she only had Zhou Chen as a relative in this world.
Looking at Zhou Chen eating heartily, her heart felt a bit sweet and happy.
“Fortunately, I still have Brother Chen!”
“What’s wrong? Eat quickly!”
Zhou Chen looked up and picked up a piece of meat for her.
“Mhm!”
Qin Hong Yu lowered her head and ate in small bites.
After dinner.
Zhou Chen fed the little fox, Qin Hong Yu cleaned up in the kitchen.
Zhou Chen, after feeding the fox, came to the kitchen and hugged Qin Hong Yu from behind.
“Ah, stop messing around!”
Qin Hong Yu gave Zhou Chen a playful glare, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen directly lifted her up.
“Don’t, I haven’t finished washing yet!”
“What’s there to wash, we can wash later!” Zhou Chen carried Qin Hong Yu in big strides into the room.
Now he only wanted to make money.
No, wait.
Make points.
The sun rose and set, the stars shifted.
After a night of passion, Qin Hong Yu was exhausted and felt like her body was no longer her own.
“Brother Chen, are you going hunting today?”
Qin Hong Yu’s slender jade hands caressed Zhou Chen’s chest, occasionally squeezing his muscles, finding them incredibly attractive.
Don’t think that only men are lustful.
Women are the same.
“There’s still some meat at home, I’ll go when we finish it!”
Zhou Chen now only wanted to grind cultivation method points.
Besides, hunting was dangerous.
Every bit of strength he gained meant more safety.
Having experienced yesterday’s events, Qin Hong Yu didn’t urge Zhou Chen to go hunting.
But if Zhou Chen didn’t go hunting and stayed at home, he would only keep doing that with her.
She really felt a bit overwhelmed now.
Another three days passed.
The wolves, hares, and pheasants Zhou Chen had previously hunted were all eaten, because Zhou Chen’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Hong Yu rested her head on Zhou Chen’s chest, gazing with infatuation at the muscular lines of his body, full of captivating masculine charm.
“Brother Chen is getting stronger and stronger…”
Qin Hong Yu’s beautiful eyes were like water, but thinking about the food storage at home, she couldn’t help but say softly:
“Brother Chen, if you don’t go hunting again, we’ll be drinking the northwest wind! We’re also running out of salt!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go today!”
Zhou Chen squeezed Qin Hong Yu’s soft body and said with a smile:
“I’ll hunt a wild boar for you, so you can eat meat every day!”
“I don’t want to eat meat every day, as long as you’re safe, Brother Chen!”
Qin Hong Yu immediately hugged Zhou Chen tightly, her voice choking with emotion.
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t bear to leave you for someone else to take!”
“Brother Chen, I only want you as my man in this life, I did before, and I will in the future, no matter what happens!”
Qin Hong Yu’s expression turned serious, she said solemnly.
Zhou Chen looked into her eyes and didn’t speak.
Qin Hong Yu’s delicate body trembled, thinking that Zhou Chen didn’t believe her.
“Brother Chen, I… um…”
She was just about to say something when Zhou Chen suddenly leaned down and fiercely captured her rosy lips.
The sun passed its zenith.
Zhou Chen got out of bed, he left home with his bow, arrows, and equipment, adjusting his belt, feeling carefree and proud.
His consciousness swept over his Personal Panel.

Through these three days of effort, Zhou Chen not only comprehended his archery to Complete Mastery, but his body also became much stronger, his strength greatly increased.
He estimated that with a swing of his arms, he had at least three to four hundred “jin” of strength.
“Add points!”
Zhou Chen added all fifteen of his newly acquired Romance Points.
Instantly.
Zhou Chen’s consciousness seemed to enter a mountain forest again, his whole being entering the state of man and arrow as one, skillfully cultivating the Body Tempering Postures of Yi’s Archery.
He cultivated again and again.
Suddenly.
Zhou Chen felt a flow of energy being born within his body, all the strength in his body seemed to boil.
Zhou Chen knew this was Qi and blood.
He had finally cultivated Qi and blood.
Qi and blood circulated throughout his body, mainly concentrating on his skin, which instantly felt hot and tingling.
Zhou Chen came back to his senses, it was still just an instant in reality, but he had undergone a huge change, cultivating Qi and blood.
He felt full of strength.
“Is this the feeling of practicing martial arts?”
Zhou Chen clenched his fists, a look of intoxication on his face:
“This is awesome!”
This feeling was addictive!
Even more addictive than women!
