I Have Infinite Attributes

C33 – Ninth Layer of Acquired

Physicians, alchemists, and technomancers.

For the average person, mastering just one of these disciplines could take years of rigorous training to reach the introductory first layer. Attempting to learn all three could mean not even reaching the first layer after a decade, or perhaps only just scraping that level in a lifetime.

For Zhou Jibo, a mere two thousand attribute points were all it took to fully grasp these fields of knowledge, with the option to invest more points to enhance these auxiliary skills even further.

Reflecting on this, Zhou Jibo marveled at the sheer potency of the system’s attribute points.

With enough points at his disposal, he could defy the natural order, achieving feats once deemed impossible!

He invested more attribute points into Xu’s Medical Book. Deducting six hundred points, he ascended to the second layer of the text.

Next, he allocated points to alchemy. With two thousand points subtracted, he reached the second layer of alchemical mastery.

He did the same for forging, and upon the deduction of another two thousand points, he attained the second layer in that discipline as well.

A flood of insights on healing, alchemy, and forging filled Zhou Jibo’s mind, leaving him slightly overwhelmed.

Elevating Xu’s Medical Book to the second layer meant Zhou Jibo’s expertise now extended beyond treating simple injuries and common ailments to tackling tuberculosis and chronic diseases.

Having advanced alchemy to the second layer, he was ready to start pill refinement, confident in his ability to produce first-grade pills and, with further practice, potentially even second-grade ones.

By raising forging to the second layer, he was assured enough spirit steel to craft low-grade Yellow Rank weapons, though he was not quite certain he could forge medium-grade ones.

Now capable of refining first-grade pills and forging low-grade Yellow Rank weapons, Zhou Jibo found the sensation quite extraordinary. He wished to allocate more points to alchemy and forging, but his attribute points were running low. His only option was to continue investing in the less prestigious Xu’s Medical Book.

Xu’s Medical Book’s third layer: Enhanced Detoxification.

The fourth layer of Xu’s Medical Book covers treating illnesses, detoxifying, and addressing plagues.

Zhou Jibo found himself with scarcely any attribute points remaining, rendering him unable to further enhance the Xu’s Medical Book.

Despite its status as an unranked medical text, and without an upgrade in grade, Zhou Jibo held the book in high regard. With the added attribute points, the book represented the zenith of medical knowledge for a non-Warrior, complete with skills in poison identification, plague treatment, tuberculosis care, and the management of chronic illnesses.

Even the most advanced Warriors might not match the efficacy of such “unconventional” medical techniques in treating ailments and injuries.

Zhou Jibo stepped outside, stretching in the courtyard before returning to his room to continue his cultivation.

He had made bold promises to Goodman Yu and Lang Shen; he needed to quickly gain the strength to stand toe-to-toe with Innate Warriors.

The envoy from the Shrine of Astral Radiance was due to arrive in Icefair City soon. Zheng Xunqin was still present, as were members of the Zheng family with grudges to bear. To eliminate these threats and face the colossal Shrine of Astral Radiance, Zhou Jibo knew he needed to rapidly bolster his cultivation.

At his current Acquired Stage, each layer brought him 100,000 attribute points. Once he ascended to the Innate Stage, he anticipated even greater gains. He was on the path to becoming significantly more powerful.

Vitality, drawn together by the Earth Rank bone root and directed by the medium-grade Six Yin Heart Technique, was mostly transformed into Zhou Jibo’s own vital energy, with a fraction used to refine and enhance his physical attributes.

With each session of cultivation, his strength, agility, and constitution incrementally improved.

Time seemed to slip away from Zhou Jibo as he delved deeper into his practice, only pausing when his meridians and body signaled their limit.

The following day, he resumed his rigorous routine.

After ten days, Zheng Fanshuang’s initial astonishment had shifted to detachment, which then blossomed into admiration.

For the moment, she set aside the feud between the Zhou and Zheng families, her respect for Zhou Jibo growing ever stronger.

Zhou Jibo today is a far cry from the Zhou Jibo she once knew.

She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for the diligently training Zhou Jibo: If Xunqin hadn’t inflicted such deep wounds on him, would he be in this state now? He used to love shopping with Xunqin, and it was clear how much joy it brought him back then.

But now, he’s changed so drastically. Xunqin, you’ve made a grave error.

Zhou Jibo devoted himself to cultivation daily, enhancing both his vitality and his physical quality. Meanwhile, others were far from serene.

In the dense woods just outside Icefair City, a group found respite in the shadows, each face etched with grief.

Among them were a few members of the Zheng family who had fled the city, along with many who had followed Zheng Xunqin and Zheng Congyang to Basinpond, two hundred miles away, in search of cultivation resources.

They had been lingering outside the city for quite some time, spending many days hidden in this forest, quietly gathering intelligence on the Zheng family’s plight.

The family head, the Elder, and other senior members had all been slain by the Zhou family. Those who resisted the Zhou family were largely killed, and Zheng Linghan, once a servant, had risen to become the new head of the Zheng family.

Every incident within the Zheng family fueled their animosity towards Zhou Jibo. They were itching to storm the Zhou residence and eradicate every last one of them.

Zheng Xunqin, clad in her form-fitting warrior’s garb, seemed lost in thought.

These past days, the core belief that had anchored her was wavering: She considered herself a valiant woman among her peers, having covertly manipulated many in the Zhou family and deceived Zhou Jibo, who possessed an Earth Spirit bone root.

She harbored no regrets for exploiting Zhou Jibo’s profound affection for her, even going so far as to remove his bone root.

She was convinced that despite her medium-grade bone root, her mental fortitude was second to none. She was merely one opportunity away from greatness. If only she could gain entry to the Shrine of Astral Radiance, she would soar like a phoenix in flight.

But what of Zhou Jibo now? How had he quelled the Zhou family’s internal discord, slain a ninth-layer Acquired Warrior, and repelled an Innate master, nearly obliterating the Zheng family in the process?

How strong and exceptional could he possibly be? How had I not sensed even the slightest hint before?

Was he truly the one I had deceived? Could I actually measure up to him?

These thoughts swirled uncertainly in her mind, but her gaze slowly hardened with resolve: I am not mistaken! This is all merely temporary!

Once the envoy from the Shrine of Astral Radiance arrives, all of Zhou Jibo’s actions will prove to be mere illusions.

She clung to this belief with unwavering conviction.

Day in and day out, Zhou Jibo diligently practiced the Six Yin Heart Technique. Once he reached his limits, he would switch to refining his skills with the Mountain Suppressing Palm or the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique, or he would revisit his knowledge of medicine, alchemy, and forging as a way to unwind.

Over ten days passed, and he finally achieved a breakthrough, reaching the ninth layer of the Acquired Stage.
