I Can Add Points Infinitely - Chapter 42

The next day, Shen Lian arrived early at Luoxia Peak to take over his new estate and residence.

The core disciple’s courtyard was far larger than his previous small courtyard, featuring five entrances, beautifully carved beams, rock gardens, flowing streams, and stone bridges.

It was truly grand and imposing.

There were over thirty Outer Sect disciples assigned to serve Shen Lian, most of whom were beautiful women.

Stepping into this place felt like returning to the mortal world, akin to a wealthy landlord.

“Interesting.”

“The sect arranged this to test the disciple’s commitment to the Dao, to see if they can rise above worldly temptations and stay true to their path.”

Shen Lian quickly grasped the sect’s intentions and couldn’t help but smile.

He understood the game, but the Outer Sect disciples didn’t. They had been waiting at the entrance and, upon seeing Shen Lian, greeted him respectfully, addressing him as Senior Brother.

The soft-spoken, sweet voices of the many young women added to the luxurious atmosphere.

“Go about your own business, no need to mind me. I’ll call when needed.”

Shen Lian waved them off casually.

“Yes, Senior Brother.”

The group bowed again and retreated quietly.

Many of the women looked disappointed at Shen Lian’s indifferent demeanor. They had worked hard to earn the chance to serve him.

For ordinary Outer Sect disciples, serving a core disciple meant exemption from menial tasks.

Most importantly, it offered proximity to someone influential.

Being acknowledged as Shen Lian’s servants subtly elevated their status among Outer Sect disciples.

Even regular Inner Sect disciples would hesitate to treat them disrespectfully.

Those with attractive looks hoped to catch Shen Lian’s eye, dreaming of being taken as his concubine and rising to prominence.

But Shen Lian was no ordinary young disciple. He had clear growth goals and no interest in such distractions.

Besides, in his eyes, these so-called beauties were just average and mundane.

After a casual tour of his new residence, confirming his quiet room for cultivation, Shen Lian set off for the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion.

The previous day’s conversation with the Inner Sect steward made him realize he would soon be assigned to oversee an external post, so he needed to build his foundation quickly.

What followed was Shen Lian immersing himself in the Scripture Pavilion, almost like a madman.

He spent nearly all his time there, tirelessly absorbing various techniques, seemingly forgetting food and sleep.

Two days passed.

Ding!

A low hum echoed in his mind as the system notification sounded.

【Upgrade complete. The lottery function has been partially enhanced.】

“Upgrade completed?”

Shen Lian’s heart stirred, drawing his focus away from his studies.

He dove into his mind.

“Open the system panel.”

The system panel appeared instantly.

【Infinite Point Addition System】

【Host: Shen Lian】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level One】

【Techniques: Body Refining Technique · Perfection (Enhanced), Azure Cloud Sword Technique · Perfection, Hundred Step Fist · Perfection, Wind Chasing Sword Technique · Perfection, Broken Willow Sword · Perfection… Click for details】

【Skill Points: 56,746】

“Over fifty thousand skill points.”

Shen Lian’s eyes lit up with excitement.

In just two days, he had read over twenty techniques, significantly increasing his skill points.

He immediately upgraded all unenhanced techniques, including Profound Rank ones.

After a flurry of upgrades, his remaining skill points were 48,625.

Enhancing over twenty Yellow Rank techniques didn’t consume much, costing just over a hundred points in total.

But Foundation Establishment and Profound Rank techniques required significantly more, with each needing at least a thousand points to max out.

“It seems that as the rank of techniques increases, so does the skill point consumption.”

Shen Lian murmured thoughtfully.

It was no surprise—look at the Embryonic Sword Intent.

Its sheer power had devoured countless skill points, nearly a thousand, without any visible upgrade.

“With over forty thousand points left, no rush.”

Shen Lian glanced at Embryonic Sword Intent but held off on upgrading.

Activating his techniques, his entire body surged with energy, almost explosive, making his hands itch to test his newfound power.

After the upgrades, his strength had reached the level of a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The next step was Core Formation so he could truly enter the Golden Core stage.

Of course, given his talent, he would need alchemical assistance to succeed, but that could wait.

Holding a hefty number of skill points, Shen Lian looked at the lottery function.

Ding!

【The lottery function has been partially enhanced as the total skill points exceeded ten thousand.】

【Bronze Lottery mode is now available.】

【Bronze Lottery: Each draw costs one thousand skill points.】

【Ten consecutive draws cost eight thousand skill points.】

【Lottery rewards are randomly distributed, including techniques, skills, spiritual weapons, pills, etc…】

【Current item level: Intermediate.】

Upon clicking on the lottery, a series of prompts appeared.

“Intermediate lottery available?”

Reading the prompts, Shen Lian became excited.

Previously, the basic lottery had yielded treasures like the Dugu Nine Swords, Lingbo Weibu, and the Blue Jade Sword.

With an Intermediate lottery, the rewards could only be better.

His excitement grew, and he immediately wanted to try a ten-draw streak.

But as his thoughts moved to select the lottery, Shen Lian paused.

“Wait.”

【The lottery function has been partially enhanced as the total skill points exceeded ten thousand.】

He reread the system notification, paying particular attention to that line.

“If the lottery function enhances after ten thousand points, what about when it reaches one hundred thousand, or even a million?”

Shen Lian’s eyes gleamed with determination.

Looking around the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion, he saw shelves packed with thousands of techniques.

If he read them all and amassed a massive amount of skill points, he might just reach a million.

“Damn…”

Growing more excited, Shen Lian gritted his teeth, closing the system.

“If I’m going to play, I’ll play big. Let’s gather enough skill points and see what incredible things I can draw.”

Resisting the urge to upgrade Embryonic Sword Intent, he saved his skill points and threw himself back into his studies.

In the following days, Shen Lian dedicated all his time to the Scripture Pavilion, apart from necessary rest and cultivation.

Day after day, even the Pavilion Guardian Elder couldn’t help but worry, checking in on him several times.

Shen Lian brushed him off each time.

Soon, his skill points exceeded one hundred thousand.

The system notification chimed, announcing the lottery function’s further enhancement, unlocking Silver Lottery.

Shen Lian ignored it and continued reading.

Finally—

After nearly three months of relentless effort.

In the Scripture Pavilion, only two books remained unread.

Shen Lian picked up one and began reciting it silently.

As he committed it to memory, the long-awaited system notification rang out.

Ding!

【As the total skill points have exceeded one million, the lottery function has undergone significant enhancements.】

【Gold Lottery mode is now available.】

【Gold Lottery: Each draw consumes one hundred thousand skill points…】
