What i can remember of the novel is that the mc lives in a small cabin with a pet (wolf) and saves a girl/woman and nurses her to health then she leaves and gives him a secret martial arts technique from her clan i think the name of the clan was like Yu or Yan or somehing close.. and later he was at a village/city that everyone dies in and he inherited legacy of 5 tablets... Not sure if i 100% sure if i remember right or if its mixed stories, still someone might know ^^
