Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Fengqi glanced at it twice, then lost interest, turned back to her seat, and started cracking sunflower seeds again.

You don't understand genius.

Lin Yu shrugged and said confidently.

"This has nothing to do with talent. Just like even the smartest person can't be born knowing how to speak, because they don't understand what language is. And you currently lack knowledge about martial arts."

"You think you can combine two common martial arts manuals to create a new martial art? That's as unreliable as trying to learn to speak after hearing a couple of sentences."

As Feng Qi spoke, she tossed a handful of sunflower seed shells to Lin Yu, then smiled and leaned close to his ear.

"So, instead of wasting time on this pointless activity, why not add another dish tonight?"

Lin Yu thought Feng Qi's words made a lot of sense, but then the tone changed and her true thoughts were revealed.

"Alright, alright, go play by yourself for now, we'll talk about tonight."

Reaching out, Lin Yu pushed Feng Qi's head away and opened his system panel.

He has a more direct way of observing whether things are successful or not.

You can just check your system panel.

Seeing that Lin Yu was completely unmoved, Feng Qi pursed her lips and said nothing more. She just continued to crack sunflower seeds, albeit at a much faster pace.

Without Feng Qi's interference, Lin Yu focused intently on the experimental process of how to combine the two martial arts techniques.

As a complete novice in martial arts, Lin Yu, just as Feng Qi had said, knew very little about this area and lacked knowledge in various aspects.

Even at the most basic level, he knew almost nothing about things like human anatomy.

They wanted to use this superficial knowledge to construct a new martial art.

It's no less impressive than trying to build a skyscraper with just a few steel bars.

In about an hour, the paper was filled with dense writing.

Besides the two cultivation manuals, there were also many of Lin Yu's personal ideas mixed in.

After finishing all this, Lin Yu looked at his system panel, wanting to see what the result was.

A new column was suddenly added to the system panel.

Unknown cultivation technique (0.01/1000)

'hiss! '

Lin Yu gasped.

After working for an hour, this is the result?

In other words, I would have to work for a hundred hours to achieve one-thousandth of the progress.

That's a bit too much, isn't it?

'Could it be true, as Feng Qi said, that I myself possess far too little knowledge related to martial arts?'

Lin Yu thought to himself.

Indeed, it is said that even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

Even with a system that rewards diligence, and you can always reap rewards, those rewards still depend on your own understanding.

My understanding of martial arts is far too superficial.

Even with the help of the system, combining the two cultivation techniques is not a simple matter.

Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, Feng Qi seemed to have guessed something. She snorted and her expression seemed to say that those who do not heed the advice of elders will suffer the consequences.

There was silence for a moment.

Lin Yu put away the paper and pen on the table.

Such impractical things should not be considered for the time being.

The main focus now is to master the Mighty Bull Technique. Once he sells the liquor he has and has the money, he can spend a lot of money to buy the secret manual. He doesn't believe that such a thing will happen then.

"Hey, aren't we going to continue? Giving up halfway isn't a good habit."

A familiar, sarcastic tone drifted over.

Lin Yu turned his head and a smile appeared on his face. "I'm going to make bull penis tonight. I guarantee it will suit your taste."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi's face immediately turned somewhat green.

The fifth day of brewing.

After decisively abandoning the Crimson Fiend Fist, which offered limited boosts, Lin Yu focused all his energy on the Mighty Bull Technique.

With the accumulation of time, the Mighty Bull Technique has lived up to expectations and successfully accumulated enough proficiency to advance to LV.4.

Because of the experience from last time.

Lin Yu took advantage of the excuse of selling wine to come to the restaurant for this breakthrough.

Compared to making a breakthrough, selling alcohol is a much simpler matter.

Unlike the sales pitches he had in his previous life, Lin Yu only needed to take out his wine and place it in front of the shopkeeper.

There's no need to say anything more; the rich aroma of the wine will explain everything.

In an era where most alcoholic beverages are only around ten degrees alcohol by volume, the liquor Lin Yu brought out was absolutely the finest of the finest.

After tasting it, before Lin Yu could even say anything, the restaurant owners were all vying to get him to sell them the wine.

Lin Yu didn't stand on ceremony with them.

They demanded an exorbitant amount.

One jin of cloudy wine costs fifteen coins.

Distilled spirits, on the other hand, start at one ounce per pound, and the price only increases with the alcohol content.

Even at such prices, the restaurant owners did not hesitate at all.

It's important to know that besides the taste of the food, beverages make up a significant portion of the cost of a restaurant.

Before this, everyone's drinks were about the same.

But now, things are different.

After going around in circles and finally arranging for someone to pick up the goods, Lin Yu found himself with a few more silver ingots.

This time, the liquor being sold is the first distillation, with an alcohol content of around 30 to 40 degrees.

The deposit alone amounted to several hundred taels of silver, so it can be said that Lin Yu really made a fortune from this deal.

At this rate, the Phoenix Perch's little box is not an unattainable goal.

Chapter 28 Unyielding Spirit, Rise Amidst Constant Destruction

After finalizing the liquor deal, Lin Yu didn't go back home. Instead, he found an inn and booked a room.

Because on his system panel, he was just one step away from breaking through to the Great Bull Technique.

Mighty Bull Technique LV.3 (996/1000).

The last time I broke through to LV.3, Feng Qi almost noticed something was amiss.

This time, we must learn from our mistakes.

After closing the door, Lin Yu took a deep breath and began to practice horse stance.

[You have diligently practiced the Mighty Bull Kung Fu and gained some insights; proficiency +3!]

[You have diligently practiced the Mighty Bull Kung Fu and gained some insights; proficiency +3!]

About an hour passed, and then the final system notification sounded.

The required proficiency level for the upgrade has been fully achieved.

[The Mighty Bull Technique has been upgraded to LV.4 (0/3000), and your understanding of the Mighty Bull Technique has increased.]

With the arrival of this upgrade notification, the familiar heat flow reappeared.

This time, however, the heat flow had a very clear target after it appeared, rushing straight towards the bones in Lin Yu's body.

'Is this... to strengthen the bones?'

Lin Yu thought to himself, but his expression changed the next second.

The last time I strengthened my muscles, it was so painful; now I'm strengthening my bones.

really!

The thought popped into my head the instant it occurred to me.

An indescribable pain swept over his entire body, engulfing him like a raging sea.

Faced with this raging "wave," Lin Yu felt as if he were a small boat, which could be smashed to pieces at any moment.

At that moment, my consciousness was almost completely overwhelmed.

Lin Yu remained silent, his body stiff as a statue as he collapsed onto the ground.
