Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Lin Feng was preoccupied after waking up in the morning.

Last night's dream was a bit ominous, but it was also quite reasonable.

Carrying so much silver can indeed easily attract trouble.

But he wouldn't be so scared by a nightmare that he wouldn't dare go into the city.

The system gave him another breakthrough point today, bringing his total to two.

Before breakfast, he summoned the attribute panel and clicked on the Golden Bell Shield.

The properties panel has changed.

Name: Lin Feng.

Life: 21.

Martial arts:

Six shots with a hunting bow (not up to par) (not even a beginner).

Beast Hunting Fist (Unskilled) (Artistic Level)

Madman's Stick Technique (Unorthodox) (Complete).

Basic swordsmanship (beginner level) (not yet mastered).

Nourishing the Mind Sword Technique (Moves) (Superior) (Beginner).

Golden Bell Cover (Lower Level) (Entry-level)

Breakthrough point: 1

Memories of practicing the Golden Bell Shield technique flooded my mind.

In my memory, he first patted my body with his hands, gradually increasing the pressure until I felt pain.

Later they switched to wooden sticks, and then they used cloth bags filled with sand to whip the body until it grew bigger.

When hunting, they would also go up the mountain and ram their bodies into trees.

After practicing like this for three years, I finally mastered the basics of the Golden Bell Cover technique.

After mastering the Golden Bell Cover technique, ordinary people can no longer hurt you with fists, kicks, or wooden sticks, but they can still hurt you with sharp blades.

After all, it's only the beginner level; it doesn't have that much defensive power, so it's not very useful yet.

However, since the life attribute increased slightly, this stat increase was still worthwhile.

After his breakthrough, Lin Feng started eating breakfast. He wolfed down his food, which startled his mother and wife.

Lin's mother placed a cornbread into Lin Feng's bowl. "Xiao Feng, what's wrong with you? How can you eat so much?"

Before Lin Feng could reply, the gluttonous little Sanbao pointed at him and said, "Dad must have become even more powerful, that's why he can eat so much. Being able to eat a lot means you're powerful."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "My son is right."

The little ones, seeing this, also started to imitate Lin Feng and eat heartily.

Hearing the smacking sounds of the rice being cooked, Lin's mother decided that she would cook more rice for every meal from now on.

After finishing his breakfast, Lin Feng took out some dried meat that he had prepared at home and ate it.

He ate several more pounds of jerky before his hunger subsided.

To cope with the hunger after his breakthrough, Lin Feng asked his mother and wife to make some dried meat and dried shrimp to keep on hand.

The basics of the Golden Bell Cover technique don't seem to be very useful.

Lin Feng wanted to add more points to the Golden Bell Shield, but he discovered that breaking through to the first level required two breakthrough points.

I only have a few breakthroughs left, but I don't have enough.

Then we'll just have to wait another day.

After finishing his meal, Lin Feng told his family that he had taken one hundred taels of silver and then went next door to retrieve Wang Shanxiong's head before heading into the city.

When he last went to the county town, his beast-hunting fist technique was only at a minor level.

During this trip to the city, his Beast Hunting Fist technique was perfected, and he also learned the Mad Demon Staff Technique and the Golden Bell Cover, resulting in a significant increase in his leg strength.

They had walked for less than two hours and had already reached the outskirts of the city.

He glanced outside the city gate and saw that Wang Shanxiong's wanted poster was still posted on the city wall.

After entering the city, he first went to the blacksmith's shop.

Behind the blacksmith's counter hung all sorts of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

The faint clanging of hammering could still be heard from behind the blacksmith's shop.

The blacksmith shop owner had dark skin and a strong build, and looked like he was also a blacksmith by trade.

Seeing a customer enter, he smiled and asked, "What would you like to buy, sir?"

Lin Feng stared at the row of iron swords hanging on the wall and said, "I want to buy an iron sword."

"Would you like to buy a ready-made product or have it custom-made?"

"I need it urgently, a ready-made one will do."

The shopkeeper pointed to a row of iron swords hanging on the wall and said, "Ordinary iron swords are five taels of silver, fine iron swords are ten taels of silver, fine steel swords are twenty taels of silver, and hundred-times-refined steel swords are forty taels of silver."

The price of our signature item is negotiable.

Which type would you like, sir?

Upon hearing the price, Lin Feng felt that he hadn't brought enough silver. If he wanted to act like a chivalrous hero, his weapon couldn't be too bad.

Ordinary iron swords and fine iron swords are not being considered.

Lin Feng asked, "What exactly is the difference between these iron swords at each price point?"

The shopkeeper took four iron swords from the wall and placed them on the counter. "Sir, you've come to the right person."

Lin Feng thought to himself, "Since you're the only one here, who else should I ask if not you?"

This guy must have a blacksmithing background; he gets all excited when you ask him technical questions.

The shopkeeper picked up the ordinary iron sword and said, "Sir, if you usually practice swordsmanship, this ordinary iron sword is enough for you."

However, if you're trying to stab someone with a regular iron sword, that won't work; it's easy for it to get stuck in the bone.

As he spoke, the man brandished an ordinary iron sword.

Lin Feng took a step back, afraid that he would get hurt.

The shopkeeper continued, "If you clash a high-priced iron sword with a low-priced one, using the same part of the sword, you can cut a nick in just a few strokes."

Do you get what you pay for?

If you're going to travel the martial arts world, you should at least buy a fine steel sword.

We're having a special offer right now: buy a steel sword and get a beautiful scabbard for free.

Lin Feng also preferred the fine steel sword.

If Mr. Hong doesn't give me a sword, I need to at least have a usable sword.

Of course, the scabbard is also important, since you need to carry something to make it look presentable.

"What does the scabbard look like? Take it out and let me see."

The shopkeeper took out an iron sword sheath from under the counter. It was decorated with brass patterns and looked quite exquisite.

"Sir, this scabbard would cost more than ten taels of silver if sold separately. You're definitely getting a good deal by giving it to you as a free gift."

Judging from the craftsmanship of the scabbard, it would definitely cost more than ten taels of silver if bought separately.

Lin Feng asked, "Then wouldn't you be losing money selling them like this?"

"If you leave it unsold, you'll lose even more money. Judging from your appearance, you've never learned swordsmanship at a martial arts school, nor have you had a master to teach you swordsmanship."

Lin Feng was startled. Was his background so easily exposed?

"How to say?"

"All martial arts schools that teach swordsmanship will uniformly distribute swords, and masters will also give swords to their disciples when they take on new students."

Both sects and martial arts schools have their own blacksmith shops.

Therefore, they don't need to come to us to buy swords.

"That's very kind of you, sir."

Lin Feng understood; this industry was a bit shady, and the blacksmith shop business was not easy.

Lin Feng immediately spent twenty taels of silver to buy a fine steel sword and scabbard.

The shopkeeper smiled and saw him out, saying, "Sir, if you have any other needs, please feel free to visit our shop again. We support all kinds of customization."

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Lin Feng bought a new set of clothes and a bamboo hat, spending ten taels of silver.

Wearing this outfit instantly elevates one's style.

Lin Feng tore up Wang Shanxiong's arrest warrant at the entrance of the county government office and entered the office.

Upon seeing Lin Feng's attire, the gatekeeper respectfully inquired, "May I ask what brings this young hero here?"

Lin Feng unfolded the wanted poster for Wang Shanxiong. "Claim the reward!"

Although the official was respectful in his words, his eyes were constantly scrutinizing Lin Feng.

Those in their line of work have the sharpest eyes.

He saw through Lin Feng's weakness at a glance and sneered inwardly, "Where did this greenhorn come from? Even if he gets the silver, he'll probably die once he leaves the city."
