“Give me back my stone! Without him, I won’t be able to become a flawless expert!” Xiu shouted, but it was already too late. The stone for which he had put so much effort was gone. “What a creature! I'll get my stone back! I'll kill this bastard! Hey, you two, stop lying around! Find out who this Lin is! We'll kill him!”
The servants felt horror. One of them, who was less injured, jumped onto the carriage and said in a half-whisper:
“Mister, sir, what are you talking about! It is forbidden!”
“It is forbidden? I can't take revenge?!”
“Young master, I swear, I only think about you! Think for yourself, this Lin is abnormally strong! The two of us are the best in Haidong, right? And he, who had not even reached the top, defeated us both with one blow! My younger brother is very ill and cannot get up. Do you understand what this means? He is most likely a disciple of a major sect or family. Otherwise, where does he get such strength??”
Xiu darkened, also feeling fear. Although his family owned one of the cities in the area, their village compared to the major Kyushu sects?
Not to mention that even his father is just a small fish in a big world.
A disciple of a large sect could well kill him and he would not get anything for it!
Noticing that the young master lowered his head and fell silent thoughtfully, the servant exhaled with relief. But the iron strikes while it's hot, so he added:
“Sir, let's forgive him this time. Lin is someone unknown and very strong. If we offend a disciple of a major sect, we will be in big trouble. It will be a disaster for the whole family. Better be careful.”“Be careful...” Xiu muttered, trying to swallow his anger. "Yes, you are right. For the good of the family, we will have to forgive this incident.!”
Despite the loud words, Xiu was afraid and did not dare to mention revenge. But thinking about the high-grade original stone made his heart bleed!
“My stone...” he groaned, leaning back in his chair.
.˙.
For two experts at the top of the supreme rank, the system gave only five hundred million points each. Of course, surprisingly simple points, but for the Shaolin Abbot and even for the Purple Dragon King he received significantly more.
The Kyushu masters turned out to be amazingly weak. Virtually helpless. Experts who barely entered the supreme rank of the Golden Gate could defeat these two who rose to its pinnacle.
This confirmed his guess. In Kyushu, martial arts techniques are even rarer than in the Golden Gate. It’s not surprising, since here impeccable experts were treated the same as third-class experts here.
Nevertheless, there was something to fuck with them too.
Lin Yi opened the bag and looked at the colorful stones inside.
Low grade original stones.
He took one in his hand and the system suddenly displayed a notification:
«Do you want to absorb the original stone??»
«Certainly!» “he mentally exclaimed, immediately feeling how energy poured into his palm.”
In a couple of moments, all the shine disappeared from the stone, and a second later it crumbled into white dust..
«10,243 Inner Strength Experience gained»
Lin Yi opened his eyes in surprise. Yes, opening one acupuncture point required one hundred million experience points, so these ten thousand are a drop in the ocean. But what if you find a whole mountain of such stones??
He felt his heart skip a beat. It was possible to grow significantly in strength in a day! Moreover, absorbing stones is much safer than chopping off heads.
Especially now, when it would be better for him to sit low and not show himself to anyone. Until he entered the flawless rank, no one in the Kyushu Land would even look at him. But they can stare at the divine bow and impeccable techniques.
For the locals, he is a walking treasure. Once impeccable experts find out about him, the whole city will start hunting.
With these thoughts, Lin Yi directed Jin to the least remarkable part of the city - in his opinion, a person from another world. Soon he found a simple hotel there, next to which he landed.
The owner inside was lazily pouring a drink when he heard a calm voice:
“I need a good room and stall for my bird.”
He slowly looked up at the young man with a bow on his back and a sword on his belt. His eyebrows dropped into his eyes. So this guy was an archer or a swordsman?
Putting on his usual smile for customers, the owner asked:
“How should I contact you, honorable guest??”
“Lin,” the young man answered laconically, like an old soldier.
Although he looked too young to remember even one war.
“Oh, Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time!” said the owner and Lin Yi immediately tensed, almost drawing out his sword.
He thought that he had been recognized, but the owner, in the same tone, asked:
“Do you want to stay with us??”
Laughing to himself for being too vigilant - apparently this was the usual local greeting - he replied:
“Three months.”
“Three months?” the owner repeated slowly, counting to himself. “It will be three hundred taels of silver.”
“Ah, money...” Lin Yi frowned.
He led the army of the entire world to crush the demons once and for all. Where could he have money with him? And here they would obviously be received with suspicion.
“Don’t you have any money?” the owner was surprised.
“Well, no way.”
Lin Yi took out a bag from his belt, pulled out a gold stone from it, and asked:
“Do you accept this?”
“Original stone?!” the owner cried, immediately grabbing the stone with both hands and listening to the energy inside. “Of course we accept! Certainly!”
But then he became gloomy and added:
“Only... I don’t know how I can repay you for it....”
“Is there really not even ten thousand silver in this thriving establishment??”
“Ten? Where did you come from to value this treasure so low??”
“Does it matter where it's from? I heard here that their price is ten thousand apiece.”
“Well, you understand, this is an original stone, a rare thing. A man of my position will not be able to buy them for either ten or twenty thousand.”
Lin Yi nodded. It turned out that young master Xiu was not only rich, but also noble, while commoners could only dream of these stones.
“Mr. Lin, are you sure you don’t have ordinary money?” asked the hotel owner quietly. “I'm afraid it's too much value, I can't accept it..”
“Forget it,” Lin Yi waved his hand. “Just run a few errands for me. First, I need books about Kyushu - I trained in solitude since childhood, so bring everything. History, current strong factions and people, economics - I'm interested in any topic.”
“Okay, with pleasure! I am always happy to have intelligent clients!” the owner nodded, quickly hiding the stone in his breast pocket.
He led Lin Yi with him to the best room, and he ran to the bookstore, returning from there with two bags of books.
“Please, Mr. Lin. If that's not enough, I'll run away some more.”
“I wouldn't like to bother you again.”
“What are you talking about, I’m only happy to please!” the owner answered joyfully, pressing his hand to his heart - or to the stone.
For such a fee, he would work for one Lin Yi every day from morning to night.
Carefully closing the door, the owner ran to get more books. At this time, Lin Yi looked at the pile of literature in front of him and thought.
He knew more about the fist world than the leaders of large sects and cults. Even what the relatives did not know about some of the characters was known to him.
In a word, there he could navigate with his eyes closed, while here he could not understand anything with his eyes open. But knowledge is power.
So he wanted to learn as much as possible, and he sucked up the knowledge of the first book like a sponge..
For the next fortnight, the innkeeper did nothing but take old books and empty plates from his room, replace them with new books and ready-made food, and flatter him as best he could.
Only after reading hundreds of books and deciding that he was no longer learning anything new, but was only repeating the old, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile.
Now he understood the lands of Kyushu.
