Chapter 157: Perfect-Level Acupuncture Opening (Please Subscribe)

【Afraid of Death Arrow: Heart steady as a mountain, eyes sharp as an eagle.】

【Do not seek strange ways, do not borrow mysterious opportunities, only exhaust the power of the bowstring and the sharpness of the arrow, breaking the enemy from a thousand steps away. The arrow must hit, and the hit must be fatal, so it is called "Afraid of Death"—those who are greedy for their own life must kill the enemy, those who fear the enemy's survival must seek accuracy.】

After reading the book, Lin Chen knew why Lord Qiu would give him this arrow technique secret manual.

This arrow technique also has requirements for the bowstring.

According to this senior, the Afraid of Death arrow technique has requirements for the bowstring, which needs to be made of demon beast tendons, so that it can shoot far, and the tendons of flood dragons and sharks are the best.

Although the string of his Snake Shadow Bow is not the tendon of a flood dragon or shark, it also meets the most basic requirements.

Below the ranked tier, ordinary archers will not exceed five hundred steps.

One step here refers to the maximum distance of one step. Lin Chen calculated that one step is about 1.6 meters, so five hundred steps is close to two li.

One arrow for two li is the farthest distance for a martial artist below the ranked tier to shoot an arrow, while ordinary hunters shoot arrows within fifty steps.

The Afraid of Death arrow technique has a total of seven moves.

Among them, the first three moves are close shots, and the last three moves are long shots, with a distance of up to a thousand steps. As for the last move... this senior did not talk about it in detail, but named it "Broken Bow."

According to that senior, after learning the first six moves, one will naturally understand the meaning of "Broken Bow."

Remembering the Qi movement method of the Afraid of Death arrow, Lin Chen picked up the Snake Shadow Bow again, moved his Qi with both hands, slowly pulled the bow, and then nocked an arrow...

Whoosh!

This time, the arrow did not explode in the air. Only a bang was heard, breaking three bamboo poles in a row, and finally stopped after entering the fourth bamboo pole.

Seeing the power of the arrow, Lin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. The power was indeed not bad. At least according to the formula of the Afraid of Death arrow, he could control this Snake Shadow Bow.

It was just that the accuracy was too far off. He clearly aimed at the stone by the bamboo forest, but shot at a bamboo pole three feet away.

The cultivation of the Afraid of Death arrow is a long process. According to that senior, the first step is to practice accuracy, practicing to the point of hitting whatever you aim at.

But before practicing accuracy, he must first lay a good foundation.

The foundation chapter of 【Afraid of Death Arrow】: Steady Formula.

Pull the bow a thousand times a day, the bowstring is full but not fired.

Both arms need to be as steady as iron casting, the wind blowing the robe does not move, the mosquito falling on the eyebrow does not tremble.

There are three foundation chapters, divided into Steady Formula, Accuracy Formula, and Ruthless Formula.

These three chapters are the foundation of all arrow techniques in the world.

There is no trick, only practice more.

Hongdu Prefecture.

In a mansion with ancient charm.

"It seems that Lin Chen has given up. Knowing that he cannot compete for the model student, he wants to drag Li Lin Shixiong into the water."

In the courtyard, a man in gorgeous clothes spoke with a smile. On the side, there were two young girls, all three looking at the shirtless teenager in front.

The two girls had a look of intoxication in their eyes. The third-generation genius of the Li family—this person, whether it was background or his own strength, made them move their hearts.

"How could the Wuzheng Hall agree? Isn't this too unfair to Li Lin Shixiong? Besides, the students recommended by the other three prefectures have all entered the martial arts hall for two years."

"I also feel that it is inappropriate for the Wuzheng Hall to agree to Lin Chen's request. It must be that the people in Raozhou Prefecture used means."

"Two junior sisters, don't talk nonsense."

Li Zhe turned his head and spoke, looking at the three people sitting in the pavilion: "Since the Wuzheng Hall has arranged it this way, there must be its deep meaning. And since it is a competition for the model student of Jiangnan Dao, there must be strength that matches it."

"Li Lin Shixiong, we are not questioning the Wuzheng Hall, we just feel that this is unfair to you."

"Yes, if those three people suppress their strength to the same stage as you, Li Lin Shixiong, we won't say a word."

Li Zhe walked back to the courtyard. The two women moved their bodies very diligently, leaving a vacancy beside them, looking forward to Li Zhe sitting beside them.

Li Zhe scanned the two women, but sat steadily between them, smiling: "For me, a model student of Jiangnan Dao doesn't count for anything. I don't need to rely on this title to prove myself. The reason I stood up to compete is influenced by the Kong Kong Guanzhu and the Director."

The two women in the courtyard looked curious: "Li Lin Shixiong, is it the Director who wants you to compete?"

"The model student of Jiangnan Dao is not available every year. Once a prefecture has a student evaluated as a model student, the Wuzheng Hall will inevitably tilt martial arts resources toward that prefecture. The Kong Kong Guanzhu and the Director hope that I can consider the students of Hongdu Prefecture and fight for this extra resource."

"So Li Lin Shixiong is for our Hongdu Prefecture. The students of our Hongdu Prefecture should thank Li Lin Shixiong." The girl on the left looked admiring.

"If it were just this one reason, I wouldn't intend to stand up, because whether it is the students of Raozhou Prefecture or my Hongdu Prefecture, they are all students of Jiangnan Dao. It's just who benefits more. It was another sentence from several adults that made me change my mind."

Seeing the curious eyes of the two women, Li Zhe said in a deep voice: "The model students of Jiangnan Dao in previous sessions, once a student wins this honor, the eyes of other prefectures will also be cast over, and even challenges will be launched. If that Lin Chen wins this honor, how will students of other prefectures look at our Jiangnan Dao students? If someone takes the opportunity to challenge, how should we deal with it?"

"I don't care about a model student of Jiangnan Dao. Since Lin Chen has such a proposal, it is exactly what I want. If those three senior brothers can defeat me, it proves that their strength is above mine. When facing provocations from students of other prefectures, we can also fight back effectively."

After listening to Li Zhe's words, the two women's eyes were filled with brilliance. Such a Li Lin Shixiong was worthy of their admiration. What was that Lin Chen?

"I heard that this time the Li family of Quzhou Prefecture also made a scene at the Wuzheng Hall because of Lin Chen. I really don't know how that Lin Chen climbed up to the Li family."

"Junior sister, you don't know about this." The man in gorgeous clothes smiled slightly: "The Li family of Quzhou Prefecture has already declined. I guess Elder Li wants to find a son-in-law for his granddaughter. Maybe he took a fancy to Lin Chen. After all, Raozhou Prefecture and Quzhou Prefecture are adjacent."

"That's really the case. I also heard the elders in the family discuss that the Li family of Quzhou Prefecture should have taken a fancy to Lin Chen, so they stood up for Lin Chen."

"Humph, if that's the case, then it makes sense. A poor boy born to a fisherman—although his identity is true, I'm afraid the Li family secretly gave Lin Chen cultivation resources long ago. I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Li family actually likes catching fish..."

"Don't gossip about others behind their backs. We martial artists should be open and aboveboard. Only those who are open and aboveboard can go far on the Martial Way. Those who play sinister tricks are ultimately just small paths."

Li Zhe interrupted the discussion of the three. Looking at the admiring eyes of the three, there was also a look of pride in his eyes.

Xing Xing Huai Feng's handling of things was improper, which affected the reputation of the Li family and himself, but as he proposed to suppress the stage to fight, this reputation was reversed.

That Lin Chen proposed to fight with all his might, thinking that he couldn't get the model student of Jiangnan Dao, and didn't want him to get it either.

It was just that he underestimated him too much.

Although those three had entered Organ Cultivation, their strength was not outstanding. As long as he stepped into the Organ Cultivation Stage, defeating those three would not be a difficult thing.

Not to mention, there were opponents arranged by the Wuzheng Hall for those three. It was not certain whether they could defeat the opponents arranged by the Wuzheng Hall.

Lin Chen's move could only be lifting a rock to hit his own feet.

Looking at the two junior sisters beside him, these two junior sisters' family background was no worse than that Huo family. The Huo family couldn't even do this little thing well. His marriage with Huo Shu could be considered again.

The special training ground.

Lin Chen stood a hundred steps away. Water droplets dripped from the eaves of the bamboo house, and several copper basins were placed below.

As the water droplets fell, Lin Chen pulled the bow and nocked the arrow in one go.

Whoosh!

A bright light shot out, crossing under the eaves. As the arrow shot out, Lin Chen's body also rose, heading straight for the eaves.

The water surface in the copper basin directly below remained motionless.

Lin Chen had a smile on his mouth, but when he saw the six copper basins on the side, only three copper basins had ripples on the water surface, and the other three were also motionless. He frowned again.

The accuracy chapter of the Afraid of Death arrow, its second level, requires shooting water from a hundred steps away, and the arrow must pierce the water droplets and split them into six petals.

This not only requires accuracy but also extremely subtle observation to do it.

The steady chapter is easy to practice, but the accuracy chapter is difficult.

Lin Chen sighed. The trajectory of the water droplets falling can still be predicted. According to the two levels of accuracy set by that senior, the first level is to distinguish position by sound, practice archery at night, and reach the realm of 【Blind Bow Shooting Objects】.

This level is not difficult for Lin Chen, as his five senses and perception far exceed ordinary martial artists, but the second level, "Water Droplet Observation Pattern," tests the accuracy control of the subtle level.

He is now stuck at this second level.

For four consecutive days, he could only shoot down the water droplets, but he couldn't control the water droplets to split into six petals.

"Give myself three months, and I will be able to do this step."

Even with that senior's accuracy formula, breaking through this level is not easy.

Just as Lin Chen was about to continue trying, his hand bending down to pick up the arrow suddenly stopped. His eyes were shining, looking at the panel that appeared on its own.

Four days, this time the panel finally finished updating.

It took so long to update successfully. He wanted to see what kind of surprise this panel would give him this time.

【Detected that the host's cultivation system has triggered the perfect level, now opening the perfect level guidance panel】

【Host: Lin Chen】

【Stage: Perfect Acupuncture Stage (1/24): (70/400)】 【Stage: Extreme Acupuncture Stage (15/24): (70/400)】 (Can be converted)

【Please supplement Qi and blood, please supplement Qi and blood...】

Lin Chen put his mind on (Can be converted), but the panel gave a prompt.

Prepare enough cultivation resources?

Staring at this line of text, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and understood what the panel meant.

Perfect-level Acupuncture Stage must be more difficult than Extreme Acupuncture Stage, and even more powerful. Since it is more powerful, it means it needs more Qi and blood.

His Qi and blood at the fifteenth acupoint of the Extreme Acupuncture Stage are afraid to be insufficient to convert to the perfect-level fifteenth acupoint, needing to supplement more Qi and blood.

"Fortunately, I am in the special training ground, otherwise I wouldn't dare to convert easily."

Lin Chen didn't hesitate at all, put away the Snake Shadow Bow, and walked out of the bamboo forest.

"Medicinal herbs, demon meat?"

Min Huanbo was a bit surprised to hear Lin Chen's request. The special training ground provided sufficient medicinal liquid and demon meat for students every day, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn't be short of it.

"This disciple wants more."

Min Huanbo pondered for a moment. He had also heard about the competition for the model student of Jiangnan Dao, so he advised: "The special training ground is indeed not short of resources, but the resources that every martial artist can absorb are limited. If the energy of medicinal herbs and demon meat cannot be refined by the body and accumulates too much in the body, it will instead block the meridians and acupoints, aggravating the difficulty of subsequent acupuncture breakthroughs."

For Min Huanbo, he was not distressed about the resources. The resources were given by the Wuzheng Office, not his private ones.

He was afraid that Lin Chen was stimulated by the competition for the model student of Jiangnan Dao and desperately wanted to improve his strength, but there was a saying in martial arts cultivation: haste makes waste.

Lin Chen reached the requirement of a Grade A student, and the resources of the special training ground could be used openly, without an upper limit. This was also what Lord Xuetai ordered before leaving.

Listening to Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min's words, Lin Chen frowned. This was the first time the panel actively reminded him that he lacked resources. There was no problem of medicinal power accumulating too much in the body and blocking the meridians.

But he couldn't explicitly tell this Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min, how can this disciple prove that I have thoroughly absorbed it, without waste, and without blocking the meridians?"

"This is simple. The mucus in the manure pit has the effect of repairing injuries. Meridian blockage is also a kind of injury. Apply the mucus to your body. If the mucus is not absorbed, it proves that your body has not been injured."

"This disciple is willing to apply the mucus. If the mucus is absorbed, this disciple will stop absorbing."

Min Huanbo didn't expect Lin Chen to still not want to give up. Looking at Lin Chen's firm eyes, he also sighed in his heart. Forget it, let Lin Chen try.

With Lin Chen's talent, wasting some resources is wasting it.

"Take this token, you can go to the treasury to collect pills, medicinal liquid, and demon meat, but remember, if the mucus is absorbed three times in a row, don't continue. The mucus can repair injuries, but it cannot make your meridians completely recover from being blocked by medicinal power."

"Your Martial Way path is still very long. Don't leave hidden dangers in your body for the sake of competing for a moment."

"Thank you, Yu Yu Jiaoxi, for the reminder. This disciple will not take risks with his own body."

Lin Chen knew that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min was concerned about him. Otherwise, if it were another instructor, they would wish he could improve his stage as fast as possible. As for whether the body would leave hidden dangers, by that time he would have long left the special training ground, and it would have nothing to do with this Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min.

Holding the token, Lin Chen soon went to the treasury.

The treasury of the special training ground was not as heavily guarded as the Wuzheng Office. Only a middle-aged man was guarding it. After looking at the token Lin Chen showed, he directly opened the door: "You are the first one in the past five years in our place allowed to enter and exit the treasury at will. Take whatever you want."

"This junior wants to increase Qi and blood. Can you recommend some?"

Lin Chen didn't take it actively, but asked the middle-aged man for advice.

"Increase Qi and blood?"

Yang Jin pondered. The resources prepared for students at this stage in the special training ground were almost all for increasing Qi and blood. After thinking about it, he said: "If you want to increase Qi and blood quickly, pills belong to Red Chi Xue Wan."

"My lord, this disciple wants Red Chi Xue Wan."

"The first room, the fifth cabinet after pushing the door, is where the Red Chi Xue Wan is placed. But you must remember, although the Red Chi Xue Wan increases Qi and blood most quickly, with your stage, you can only take one every seven days. The Qi and blood contained in one is enough for you to digest for seven days."

"Okay."

Lin Chen pushed open the door of the first room and soon found the Red Chi Xue Wan on the shelf in the fifth cabinet.

Bottles of Red Chi Xue Wan were packed in a wooden box. Lin Chen counted them. There were thirty bottles in total.

Leaving half, Lin Chen directly stuffed the remaining fifteen bottles into his arms. After thinking about it, he saw the Acupoint Nourishing Pill on the shelf next to it and took ten or more bottles.

Going out, Lin Chen thanked Yang Jin.

"How many bottles did he take?"

Looking at Lin Chen's bulging figure leaving, Yang Jin returned to the room. When he saw only half of the Red Chi Xue Wan left, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Is this kid going to take the Red Chi Xue Wan as sugar beans? How can he be so wasteful?"

Yang Jin couldn't stand it. He wasn't afraid that Lin Chen would take the resources of the special training ground away. Every student would be checked all over when leaving, so there was no such thing as taking them away.

Waste was one thing, but eating too many Red Blood Pills would also hurt the meridians.

"Brother Yang, don't be anxious."

Just as Yang Jin was about to chase, Min Huanbo's figure appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

"What don't be anxious? Do you know how many bottles of Red Chi Xue Wan Lin Chen took away?"

"Even if he emptied it, he must be allowed to move it. Lord Xuetai had instructions before leaving that the cultivation resources of the special training ground should be supplied to Lin Chen openly."

Yang Jin was stunned, then scolded: "Min Huanbo, what do you mean? Am I reluctant to part with these Red Blood Pills?"

"Brother Yang, I know you are worried that Lin Chen taking too many Red Blood Pills will cause blockage of meridians in his body and affect his subsequent martial arts cultivation. I have already made an agreement with Lin Chen on this matter..."

Facing the furious Yang Jin, Min Huanbo had to repeat his previous conversation with Lin Chen, and also mentioned the competition for the model student of Jiangnan Dao.

"Damn it, what is this? For a model student, is it worth fighting so hard?"

Min Huanbo also smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I will watch secretly and won't let Lin Chen have any accidents."

Three days later.

Min Huanbo went to the bamboo forest. In his view, no matter how crazy Lin Chen was, he would take at most two or three Red Blood Pills a day. He came three days later, and the time was just right. According to this time, it was when Lin Chen's meridians were blocked.

However, when he saw Lin Chen soaking in the big vat with his eyes closed, and then saw the empty bottles and cans on the ground, Min Huanbo's eyes were straight.

Don't want your life? Really took the Red Chi Xue Wan as sugar beans. Aren't you afraid of Qi and blood rushing to your brain and exploding and dying?

Min Huanbo couldn't care about anything else. With a flash, he arrived in front of the vat.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min is here?"

Lin Chen opened his eyes and took the initiative to get up from the big vat, with mucus like yellow mud sticking to his skin.

"You... don't tell me, this mucus was applied before you took the Red Chi Xue Wan."

"This disciple went to the manure pit the day I came out of the treasury. This was applied three days ago," Lin Chen grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which was extremely eye-catching in the mucus.

Min Huanbo still had doubts in his eyes, reached out and grabbed Lin Chen's arm. Lin Chen felt a force entering his whole body from his arm.

After three breaths, Min Huanbo let go of Lin Chen's arm, his eyes shining.

"How many bottles of Red Chi Xue Wan did you take?"

"This disciple took them all, but this disciple feels it's still not enough," Lin Chen said with a bitter smile. He didn't expect that fifteen bottles of Red Chi Xue Wan were not enough.

"Wait, I'll go get it for you."

Min Huanbo came fast and disappeared fast. He didn't know how Lin Chen did it, but he was sure that there was no blockage in Lin Chen's meridians.

The Qi and blood contained in the Red Chi Xue Wan were really all absorbed.

He didn't care how Lin Chen did it now. Since Lin Chen could absorb it, let him absorb it openly.

The special training ground, is it short of Lin Chen's resources?

In the past, every time Lord Xuetai left, the regretful words he kept on his lips were: "The things in the treasury are piling up more and more."

Treasury, Min Huanbo went in directly, hugged the wooden box with the remaining Red Chi Xue Wan and left. He didn't dare to take other pills. Since Lin Chen could absorb the medicinal effect of the Red Chi Xue Wan so quickly, he only gave the Red Chi Xue Wan.

If the Red Chi Xue Wan was not enough, he would take other pills.

"Min Huanbo, what are you doing?"

Yang Jin watched Min Huanbo enter the treasury in a hurry, hug the wooden box and leave directly, and roared behind him.

"Brother Yang, wait a moment and I'll explain to you."

"Wait for a fart, I want to see what you are doing."
