Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

"If you keep instigating me, I'll beat you up. How come you haven't even developed this much common sense after serving dishes for so long?" the shopkeeper scolded in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" The waiter was a little confused and retorted, "I couldn't possibly be mistaken; that scabbard must be valuable."

"Idiot, I'm talking about people!"

The shopkeeper pointed in Chen Feng's direction and raised his chin. "Didn't you just serve him two catties of beef?"

"What's wrong? You think I didn't drug you?"

"You idiot!" the shopkeeper said, exasperated.

After being insulted twice, the waiter lost his temper: "Speak your mind, why are you swearing at me? If you swear at me again, I'll get angry!"

"He ate two pounds of beef! Two pounds! If it were you, you'd be stuffed to death, but he ate it all in no time and was still like he wasn't full."

"You can't even serve the food as fast as he eats it, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

The waiter was stunned.

His face turned pale instantly, and his forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.

He recalled a disturbing memory and asked the shopkeeper tremblingly, "You...you mean he might not be human?"

The reason Xiao Er had such an idea was because this place... was haunted by monsters.

The waiter had served many guests and heard all sorts of stories from them. But in the last few days, the most common news he heard was that a great mountain demon had appeared on several nearby hills.

Many people have already suffered.

"Then, should we report this to the authorities? The government doesn't deal with bandits, but they do deal with demons." The waiter's voice trembled slightly.

The shopkeeper's lips twitched: "Look at you, so pathetic. Did I ever say he was a demon? Some powerful martial artists can eat this much in one meal. Stop scaring yourself."

"Besides, have you ever heard of a monster that uses a sword? Don't you use your brain and think about it properly?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "You should have said so earlier! How was I supposed to know you meant that?"

"Hmph, stop causing me trouble. I just want to be a good manager right now... Another customer is here, get to work."

After saying this, the innkeeper walked away, and the waiter strode out to greet the guests who had just entered the inn.

As dusk fell.

The inn gradually filled up with people, mostly traveling caravans, merchants, bodyguards, and all sorts of people.

Chen Feng disliked frolicking, so he went back to his room early after finishing his meal.

After studying the panel for a while, I discovered that the word "Flow" is extremely unstable, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. It appears on the panel but cannot be upgraded.

Chen Feng estimated that perhaps by entering a flow state a few more times during battle, he could truly fix it on the panel.

Recalling the details of the battle.

Flow state greatly enhances performance—it sharpens nerve responses and refines muscle control, like entering bullet time in a movie.

The whole world slowed down.

If Chen Feng could master the power to freely activate his flow state, he wouldn't have such a hard time dealing with Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.

Although he still couldn't withstand many blows, he was confident that he would be so hard that the other party wouldn't even be able to touch him.

but……

Chen Feng's eyelids twitched.

He had a vague feeling that only by entering a state of flow when facing life and death, and by throwing himself into the gamble of death, could he truly grasp the essence of flow.

When he accidentally entered a state of flow while sparring with his senior brother, it helped him improve his combat awareness. In the state of flow, his reactions gradually solidified into instincts.

This is a bit tricky.

Fighting a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, Chen Feng nearly lost half his life after just one move. After the fight, he was exhausted, as the prolonged tension had placed a tremendous burden on his mind.

Chen Feng enjoys fighting and honing his skills, but he absolutely dislikes courting death.

Moreover, this old woman might be the lowest level of Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, with declining blood and qi, low-quality true qi, and weak combat awareness. If it were Second Senior Brother, Chen Feng wouldn't even be able to escape.

It seems we're stuck in a vicious cycle.

To reach the Qi Condensation Realm, one needs to comprehend the Flow of Mind; without the Flow of Mind, one cannot defeat those at the Qi Condensation Realm, and comprehending the Flow of Mind requires reaching the Qi Condensation Realm...

Chen Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Pingcheng is still too small, too small to find any geniuses of the same level who can rival Chen Feng.

I wonder if that soft-bodied girl from last time has broken through to the Bone Forging Realm yet.

"Sigh, this matter isn't urgent. I'll deal with it after I break through to the Qi Condensation Realm..."

Chen Feng stopped paying attention to the flashing panel, lay on the bed, and quietly felt the flesh in his chest wriggle and slowly recover.

He closed his eyes, preparing to rest, but unexpectedly, a knock sounded at the door.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, got up and opened the door. He saw a woman in plain clothes standing outside the door. She had delicate features and was holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Behind her stood a suspicious figure wearing a black cloak. The hood of the cloak cast a shadow that obscured the face, and with the dim candlelight in the inn, Chen Feng could not see the figure's features clearly.

"What is it?"

Chen Feng spoke in a flat tone.

The woman bowed and said softly, "I apologize for disturbing you, sir. My brother and I were traveling and had just arrived at this inn when we learned that there were no rooms available, only shared beds left."

"However, as a woman, it is quite inconvenient for me. I heard from the innkeeper that you are staying alone. Would you do me the favor of changing rooms?"

Chen Feng listened, but found that the woman's words ended there, and he immediately frowned.

Shouldn't you say you're willing to pay more for the room at this point? Do you expect him to give it away for free?

Chen Feng glanced at the woman and saw that her eyes were glistening with tears, and she looked pitiful. Anyone else would probably have softened and agreed.

"..."

It seems I guessed correctly.

But in his mind, only a fool would switch from a standard room to a large dormitory room with six people per room.

Chen Feng shook his head, his tone distant: "I've been traveling a long way and it's inconvenient for me to change. You should find someone else, young lady."

After saying that, he was about to close the door.

I don't want to get entangled with it too much.

"Young master, please wait..." The woman quickly reached out and blocked the door, calling out to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng said impatiently, "I already said I'm not changing it..."

Chen Feng's gaze inadvertently fell upon the woman's eyes. Her eyes sparkled, and a faint pink halo appeared in them. Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat.

[Being captivated...]

[Experience +100]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Chen Feng immediately focused his mind and became more vigilant. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The last time I encountered allure...

The other party is a fox demon!

Chen Feng's pupils contracted, but the allure continued. Up close, he caught a faint, sweet scent that stirred his heart and made his thoughts wander.

This allure struck Chen Feng's very soul!

No matter how strong his physical body or how vigorous his blood and energy, he would find it difficult to defend against and defend against.

Fortunately, the monk Jingchen whom Chen Feng had met earlier gave him a way to resist temptation—the Pure Heart Sutra.

But... there's still one problem.

This Pure Mind Sutra needs to be recited silently in one's heart to be effective.

At this moment, his consciousness was about to sink, and in such a short time, he was completely unable to recite such a long passage of scripture.

However, Chen Feng did have a solution.

This time, there's no need to bite your tongue and subject yourself to excruciating pain; instead, you only need to—

Add some points.

With a thought, the experience points on his system panel immediately decreased.

[The Pure Heart Sutra]: 50/100

The system adds points extremely quickly, in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, Buddhist knowledge flooded Chen Feng's mind, and he seemed to detach himself from worldly affairs and enter a state of enlightenment—

With a jolt of energy, everything became utterly dull.

The allure vanished instantly.

But his violent thought of slapping her away vanished instantly, and at that moment, he felt peaceful and serene.

Without desire or wants, all is emptiness.

Chen Feng lowered his head: "Excellent..."
