Chapter 22 Ancestral Kung Fu: Crimson Fiend Fist

Before, he was just an "outsider" who came here to do business, and he didn't have a place of refuge here.

But it's different now.

He now has a home of his own here.

After putting down their luggage, the two of them tidied up briefly.

The house is quite nice; it's not empty at all, with things like tables.

Only some basic household items need to be rearranged.

After tidying up the room, Lin Yu looked at it and felt a sense of accomplishment.

In my previous life, I struggled for decades to barely afford a house, and I still had to pay off a loan.

It's only been a short time.

Moreover, this place is so much better than my previous house.

The roof doesn't leak rain, the walls don't let in wind, the doors don't creak, and the windows don't whine incessantly when the wind blows.

The courtyard is clean and tidy, and with a little effort, it can be decorated beautifully.

After settling into his room, Lin Yu couldn't wait to go find Feng Qi.

"Let's go, while it's still early, let's go buy some daily necessities."

Looking at her empty house, Feng Qi opened her alleyway, grabbed a glittering golden object from it, and prepared to go out with Lin Yu.

"No, wait!"

"what are you doing?!"

Lin Yu quickly pressed her hand down and stared at her with wide eyes.

"Didn't you say you were going to buy something?"

"Then is it necessary for you to bring a piece of gold?"

"It's just a small piece; carrying silver would be too heavy and troublesome."

Feng Qi said it casually, as if she didn't care at all.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will be tempted by your money?"

"You're not even afraid of the Black Tiger Gang, why are you worried about this?"

As Feng Qi spoke, a slight smile curved her lips as she looked at Lin Yu meaningfully.

"Forget it."

Lin Yu took her hand, took the small piece of gold from her hand, and put it into the box.

"I still have money here, so I'll leave this for later."

Seeing this, Feng Qi didn't struggle, but just stared at Lin Yu holding her hand with a subtle expression.

"Come on, what's wrong?"

Lin Yu hadn't reacted yet and said with a puzzled look.

"I have reasonable grounds to believe that you are taking advantage of me."

Feng Qi raised her chin and said to Lin Yu.

"Your feeling is correct."

Lin Yu shrugged, grabbed Feng Qi, and walked outside without looking back.

A beautiful, mature, and wealthy woman—who wouldn't like that, right?

Once outside, Lin Yu relaxed.

Making a joke now and then is harmless, but to completely disregard other people's tolerance is going too far.

Once on the street, the two strolled around like a young couple, occasionally stopping to go into shops to buy some daily necessities.

In no time, Lin Yu had a bunch of things on him.

Feng Qi also had a small cloth bag in her hand, which contained a variety of random things.

Lin Yu couldn't quite tell what they were, only that they were some grooming supplies.

After wandering around for a while, I've bought almost everything I need.

After checking the time, Lin Yu decided to ask Feng Qi to find a restaurant for dinner and inquire about drinks.

Distilling high-proof liquor is Lin Yu's next plan.

However, the first thing to do is to check the price and quality of alcoholic beverages on the market.

"It's getting late, let's find somewhere to eat."

Lin Yu, carrying a pile of things, spoke to Feng Qi beside him.

"That should be the martial arts school we mentioned before, don't you want to go check it out?"

Fengqi pointed to the storefronts along the street ahead and suddenly said.

"Martial Arts School?"

Lin Yu shifted the things in his hands and indeed saw the four large characters "Kaiyuan Martial Arts School".

"Let's go over and have a look."

Compared to making money for a comfortable life, improving one's skills is the most important thing.

Arriving at the entrance of the martial arts school, Lin Yu looked inside.

The courtyard had been transformed into a martial arts training ground, but it was deserted and there was no one in sight.

The stone locks and various weapons placed in the surrounding corners looked quite professional.

Many things were covered in dust, and some weapons were rusty, as if no one had used or maintained them for a long time.

Recalling what the broker had said, Lin Yu went inside.

"anyone there?"

After calling out, the door to the main house opened, and an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face walked out shakily with a cane.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

Lin Yu looked at the old man, and his lips twitched.

"I found it intriguing to see that this was a martial arts school, so I thought I'd come and take a look."

"That might disappoint you."

The old man chuckled, "I did run a martial arts school a few years ago, but I got old and stopped a long time ago."

"Pfft."

Laughter came from behind Lin Yu.

Even without turning around, he could imagine Feng Qi's expression.

While cursing the unreliable broker in his heart, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said...

"What a pity, I was quite interested in this."

The old man glanced at the clothes Lin Yu and Feng Qi were wearing and shook his head.

"Young people should just live honest lives. Learning those things is useless. If you want to exercise, there are a few stone weights in the corner. Pick one and take it home. Lifting it every day will be effective."

Although he knew the old man meant well, he knew all too well what Lin Yu was after.

"Sir, this is just a hobby of mine, not something I do out of a competitive spirit."

Lin Yu smiled gently, his expression sincere.

"I wonder if you have any secret manuals or anything like that, old man? If so, I'm willing to pay for them."

Lin Yu really didn't need any guidance or anything like that.

The martial arts in this world don't involve internal energy or anything like that, so there's no fear of going astray and going into qi deviation.

All you need to do is practice diligently step by step, and leave the rest to the system.

Seeing that Lin Yu spoke sincerely, the old man carefully looked him over, left two words, and turned to walk into the house.

"Wait."

Lin Yu felt a slight joy in his heart.

The Mighty Bull Technique can only improve one's physical strength; it has absolutely no combat skills or moves.

He dealt with the Black Tiger Gang entirely by virtue of his extraordinary strength, reflexes, and speed.

If he could get his hands on a manual of fist techniques, knife techniques, or sword techniques, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his current strength.

By continuously improving with the system, I might be able to create something like the King's Sword Intent.
