Chapter 25: Forgotten Skills and Hidden Recipes
Bok Taejin wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
He wasn't sure if Im Beomhyeon was truly letting him off because of his age, but one thing was clear—Im Beomhyeon treated him differently from others.
If anyone else in the village dared to act as he did, regardless of age, Im Beomhyeon would've beaten them up first without hesitation.
"Brother Im, I know a little bit of martial arts too. How about I show you first, and then you teach me?"
Im Beomhyeon withdrew from his stance and stepped aside, still looking uninterested, clearly not taking Bok Taejin's words seriously.
Bok Taejin stepped into the middle of the courtyard and performed a set of Baguazhang technique.
In his past life, he had once heard about a nearly abandoned mountain village, where only a few elderly folks remained, unwilling to leave their homeland.
They were known for making delicious plum-roasted duck.
Bok Taejin spent a month preparing for the journey and surprisingly found the village quite easily, taking just over three days, including travel time.
He stayed in the village for quite some time, helping the elderly with chores and learning a set of Baguazhang technique from them.
His true goal, however, had been to learn their secret recipe for plum sauce, so he had worked hard to earn their favor.
Unfortunately, the elders guarded their recipe very closely.
