C42 All Attribute Points Added!

Immediately following, another system alert chimed in: "120,000 attribute points have been deducted. Your Earth Rank medium-grade Six Yin Heart Technique has been elevated to the Heavenly Rank low-grade Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method."

The Six Yin Heart Technique had transformed into the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method?

Zhou Jibo paused briefly, absorbing the new mental cultivation method into his consciousness. It was then he grasped the reason behind the transformation.

The Six Yin Heart Technique represented the pinnacle of Yin energy. When Yin energy is taken to its extreme, it naturally gives rise to Yang.

In the depths of extreme Yin, ice forms. Yet, upon further contemplation, it follows the principle that "when the Six Yin dissipates, Yang emerges." Beyond the cold of winter lies a new realm of existence.

This Yang symbolizes vitality.

Zhou Jibo practiced the low-grade Heavenly Rank Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method with ease, utilizing it as he desired. Not only could he harness the chilling power of the Six Yin Extreme Cold, but he could also activate the Sunbeam Method to awaken his body's latent potential and mend injuries.

Certainly, if he chose to employ the Sunbeam Method in combat, it was possible, albeit without the frigid impact of the Six Yin Extreme Cold. Instead, it could cause a slight disturbance in his opponent's focus.

Surprisingly, the low-grade Heavenly Rank mental cultivation method wasn't particularly effective in offense. Its primary strength lay in fostering his life force and healing capabilities.

Initially, Zhou Jibo hadn't fully appreciated its value. But upon deeper reflection, he was astounded by the system's ingenious and intricate design of the cultivation method.

Indeed, the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method was not ideal for battle. Zhou Jibo could continue to rely on the Six Yin Heart Technique for combat, while the Sunbeam Method's true benefit was its gradual enhancement of his vitality and potential, extending his lifespan significantly.

For most martial artists, reaching the Innate Stage might extend their lives just beyond a century. However, with lingering injuries or excessively intense battles, their lifespans would scarcely differ from that of an average person.

With the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method in his arsenal, even if Zhou Jibo chose to halt his cultivation at the Innate Stage without further advancement, he could still expect to add at least two to three hundred years to his lifespan!

His foundational strength and latent potential were so immense that they would defy anyone's expectations. He was destined to become the most formidable individual within the Innate Stage!

Naturally, Zhou Jibo wouldn't settle for merely being a warrior of the Innate Stage, nor would he be content with a lifespan of just a few centuries. As he ascended to greater heights, he was bound to amass even more vitality and untapped potential!

Truly, this was a mental cultivation method birthed by the system—a technique worthy of the Heavenly Rank!

Zhou Jibo marveled inwardly as he engaged the low-grade Heavenly Rank Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method, noting the swift pace at which the low-grade Holy Spirit bone root harnessed vitality. He could sense the vitality coalescing around him, rapidly converting into true essence. This true essence flowed through his meridians, enhancing his physique and imparting a gentle, satisfying warmth before settling in his dantian.

This rate of cultivation even outpaced his previous experiences with the Acquired Essence Gathering Pill!

After a period of focused cultivation, Zhou Jibo turned his attention back to the system.

He stood at the first layer of the Innate Stage, endowed with a low-grade Holy Spirit bone root and the Heavenly Rank low-grade Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method.

In the realm of low-grade Profound Rank martial skills, his Mountain Suppressing Palm had attained the seventh layer. Within the top-grade Profound Rank martial arts, his Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique had reached the fourth layer. He possessed a low-grade Earth Rank Blood Stripe Sword and eight Acquired Essence Gathering Pills.

In terms of auxiliary skills, he had mastered the Xu's Medical Book to the fourth layer, alchemy to the second layer, and forging to the second layer.

A substantial 560,000 attribute points remained at his disposal.

Should he wish to enhance his bone root further, the system indicated a deficit in attribute points. How then should he allocate the remaining points?

Zhou Jibo barely hesitated before deciding, "Allocate attribute points to the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method."

In comparison to the urgency of advancing his cultivation speed and realm, the other attributes paled in significance.

"150,000 attribute points will be deducted, upgrading your low-grade Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method to the medium-grade Heavenly Rank Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method."

The updated mental cultivation method instantly integrated into Zhou Jibo's consciousness, granting him a clear understanding of the Solar Heart Sutra and the realization that he could no longer allocate points to this method.

This technique was the epitome of Yang energy—a mental cultivation method so potent that a single palm strike imbued with its power could desiccate an enemy's heart, causing death. With advanced mastery, it could even vaporize an opponent's blood.

Undeniably, this was a sophisticated evolution of the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method. While the Six Yin Heart Technique represented the ultimate Yin, the Solar Heart Sutra was its Yang counterpart. The two forces were equal in strength; however, the Six Yin preceded the Solar Heart Sutra, allowing the latter to absorb vitality more rapidly and enhance the practitioner's physical capabilities.

Zhou Jibo realized he could no longer invest attribute points into the Solar Heart Sutra without risking harm. Exceeding his bone root's capacity to absorb vitality could damage its inherent potential, a trade-off that simply wasn't worth it.

Activating the Solar Heart Sutra meant Zhou Jibo couldn't solely depend on his bone root to gather vitality. He also had to take Essence Gathering Pills to aid his cultivation, ensuring he could sustain the Heart Sutra's demanding energy cycle.

"I still have 410,000 attribute points left..." Zhou Jibo contemplated the remaining attributes of his items, ready to boost them comprehensively.

"Sixty thousand attribute points deducted. The Earth Rank low-grade Blood Stripe Sword is now Earth Rank top-grade."

"Deducting 1,500 attribute points, the Acquired Essence Gathering Pill is upgraded to the Innate Essence Gathering Pill."

After elevating the Blood Stripe Sword to Earth Rank top-grade, he transformed eight Acquired Essence Gathering Pills into their Innate counterparts.

Zhou Jibo advanced the Mountain Suppressing Palm to the eighth layer, transforming it into the Profound Rank top-grade martial skill—Essence Quake Palm. This technique disrupted the enemy's true essence, rendering them unable to control the true essence in their injured area for a time.

The Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique reached the sixth layer and evolved into the Earth Rank low-grade martial skill—Sunset Sword Technique, its style shifting from understated elegance to a sweeping grandeur.

Having upgraded the Essence Quake Palm to the sixth layer and the Sunset Sword Technique to the fourth, Zhou Jibo then allocated additional attribute points to enhance his auxiliary skills.

The Xu's Medical Book had ascended to the second layer, allowing Zhou Jibo to harness his true essence in healing internal injuries. Should he employ the Sunbeam Mental Cultivation Method to stimulate vitality, the healing effects would be significantly amplified.

Such prowess was beyond the reach of ordinary physicians. Put simply, Zhou Jibo had the makings of a legendary healer if he so chose.

His alchemy and forging abilities had both advanced to the third layer. With adequate materials on hand, Zhou Jibo could effortlessly concoct second-grade pills and craft Yellow Rank medium-grade equipment. However, creating third-grade pills and Yellow Rank top-grade items would require further experience.

Zhou Jibo reserved 100,000 attribute points for unforeseen needs.

His power had surged, and with the boost from the attribute points, his foundational strength—his bone root—had also seen a substantial increase.

Though still at the first layer of the Innate Stage, the term 'genius' fell short of encapsulating the breadth of mental cultivation methods, martial skills, and support techniques at his command.

It was inconceivable for anyone to achieve such staggering levels of knowledge and skill mastery at the tender age of sixteen.

Reflecting on the day's gains from the million attribute points spent, Zhou Jibo was quietly astounded.
