Three Kingdoms Lords: Starting by walking into the mouth of a giant python

Chapter 123 Salt Cart, Steed, Zhen Family's Spirit Snake

The original Lord of the Mountain Capital was one of the two Bird Capitals. He was transformed from a Celestial Chicken that ate a peach on a Peach Tree.

This morning, the [Bird Capital] abducted humans and used them as [Humans]. Yuan Shu, who was wandering in the forest, was chosen.

Because of its outstanding appearance, after [Bird Capital] caught it, it was not fed [Peachwood] flowers, but was first put into the nest to have some fun.

With the "+50" buff from the [Locust Feather], Yuan Shu engaged in passionate lovemaking, leaving the two women drenched in sweat and unable to extricate themselves, ultimately submitting to his will.

Yuan Shu thus obtained the title of "Lord of the Mountain Capital".

Li Yu had no feelings for the [Shandu] clan. After resting briefly at their nest, he took his leave. Before leaving, he mentioned that if there was nothing else, he would set off for Runan the next day.

Yuan Shu quickly nodded in agreement.

This Dean Li is not someone to be trifled with; he has too many tricks up his sleeve and always keeps things to himself. Yuan Shu really doesn't want to provoke him unless absolutely necessary.

They are not to be trifled with.

After all, they lost it all...

--------

On the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, the sky was clear and blue.

In the open space in front of the Sky Academy Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, an old TCM doctor led about a thousand people in practicing the Tiger Form Fist, move by move.

As a [Yellow Grade] internal cultivation method, Tiger Form Fist focuses on strengthening the body's foundation and expanding the upper limit of [attributes], rather than the amount of true qi or the presence or absence of [characteristics].

Li Yu practiced the two routines together and pointed out some errors and shortcomings.

The old Chinese medicine doctor was both surprised and delighted. He simply stopped his studies for the day and left the outpatient clinic to other Chinese medicine doctors, while he chased after Li Yu to ask for advice.

After explaining things to the old Chinese medicine doctor for nearly half an hour, seeing that the old doctor still looked eager to learn, Li Yu took him to the township office.

Before long, Lu Xiuxi, Li Min, Wang Zhang and other key members of [Sky Academy] all arrived.

Li Yu placed the "Wuyi Hujing Jue" and "Wansui Jue" on the table.

One is of Earthly Rank and the other is of Heavenly Rank, two great cultivation techniques that left everyone staring in disbelief.

Cultivation techniques are rare to begin with. Not to mention the Sky Academy, no one in the entire HD has ever heard of anyone dropping an internal energy cultivation technique of [Profound Grade] or higher from a monster.

Therefore, when the Tiger Form Boxing was brought back by the old Chinese medicine doctor and taught to the public, even though it was only of the [Yellow Grade], it still attracted countless players and indigenous people to come and observe and learn.

If even Yellow-grade items are so rare, then it goes without saying that Heaven and Earth-grade items are even rarer.

Wang Bin was also taken aback.

In terms of martial arts knowledge, aside from Li Yu and Xiong Zaisheng, he had more than everyone else in the room.

In the world of [Sword Three Thousand] that Wang Bin experienced, the master of a thousand swords, King Zhao Huiwen, only possessed a [Earth Grade] cultivation technique.

Upon returning to this world, as far as he knew, his elder brother Pan Feng, who was a [Earth Rank] cultivator, was only a [Yellow Rank]. And the eldest son of the Runan Yuan family, who had held high office for four generations, Yuan Gonglu, possessed only a [Mysterious Rank] cultivation technique.

When Wang Bin saw Li Yu again, he did not sense any true Qi, assuming that his brother-in-law had not yet mastered the technique. Unexpectedly, Li Yu revealed two "treasures" today.

Li Yu first called out Xiong Ba's name.

Yesterday, Xiong Ba acquired a [Bed-supporting Turtle]. Although it was only of [Yellow Grade], its ability to "guide and regulate Qi" was extremely compatible with the [Long Live Technique].

Li Yu handed over the "Long Live the Emperor's Decree".

Xiong Ba knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, my lord."

Everyone was extremely envious.

Even Lu Xiuxi and Li Hua, who were not interested in [military force] and focused on [intelligence] and [politics], were no exception.

Can the "Long Live Mantra" grant immortality for ten thousand years?

While everyone was lost in thought, Li Yu handed the "Tiger Scenery Technique" to Wang Bin. The sword energy and the tiger scenery released by the "Tiger Scenery Technique" are one offensive and one defensive, and they seem to be interconnected and complementary.

After distributing the two cultivation techniques, Li Yu explained some of the intricacies and made a few arrangements.

The practice of martial arts is not limited to using animal hides. Just as an old Chinese medicine doctor can teach others the Tiger Form Fist, Xiong Ba and Wang Bin can also teach others the Longevity Formula and the Wuyi Tiger Scenery Formula.

However, this requires the two individuals to have an extremely high level of mastery over the techniques. Otherwise, they will most likely be led astray. At best, they will be injured; at worst, they will die.

Moreover, the higher the [rank] of the cultivation technique, the greater the difficulty of cultivation. High-ranking techniques such as the "Tiger View Technique" and the "Long Live Technique" are difficult to cultivate without exceptional talent or the use of animal hides containing "true Qi seeds" as a guide.

Li Yu ordered Xiong Ba and the other man to write down the first level of the cultivation technique. Everyone read it through, but unsurprisingly, they gained nothing. Li Yu placed the two documents in the [Territory] warehouse, where all members of the [Sky Academy] could exchange points for them to study and experiment with.

Then, Li Yu instructed Xiong Ba and Wang Bin to communicate more with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in their spare time. Firstly, the practice of martial arts cannot be separated from the principles of meridians and acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine; secondly, it would help in the continued development of Tiger Form Fist.

After the ritual was over, the discussion turned to the local officials.

The upgrade of [Sky Courtyard] to a town, which was reported to the county, naturally involved the appointment of local officials.

Li Yu took on the position of "village clerk".

Magistrate Liang said that the Sky Academy has more than 20,000 members, a large number. If Dean Li reports to the prefecture and state level, then the "village magistrate" can be changed to "village official".

Li Yu refused.

The three old doctors were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Li Min was a patrol officer, and Lu Xiuxi and Li Hua were village assistants.

At Li Yu's request, the county established the Ghost Gate Pavilion at the Ghost Star Stone Chamber. Xiong Ba was appointed as the pavilion chief, with Wang Bin as his deputy, to guard against bandits from the Taihang Mountains.

Having made these arrangements, Li Yu said he was going to Runan. Lu Xiuxi and the others already knew about his bet with Yuan Shu, and they all said, "Go and come back soon."

A commotion arose outside the courtyard; Yuan Shu had arrived with a bewitching and alluring woman from [Bird Capital].

The mature woman, unaccustomed to wearing human clothes, couldn't help but tug and pull, revealing glimpses of her private parts.

This drew sidelong glances from countless players and locals.

Yuan Shu didn't care much, but the entire Yuan family felt ashamed.

The servant reluctantly handed over the reins to a plump, round blue horse.

Yuan Shu said it was a gamble.

--------

Salt cart and fine horse

[Rank] Mysterious.

[Attribute] Multiply by this, and the speed can reach 400 li/hour.

[Characteristics] Unyielding to salt carts, a swift steed leaps across the ground.

[Description] The steed was old and ready to climb Mount Taihang, pulling a salt cart. Its hooves stretched out, its knees broke, its tail gushed, and its flesh ulcerated, spitting out juices that dripped onto the ground. White sweat poured down its face. It lingered on the slope, unable to climb further, its back against the cart. Bo Le encountered it, dismounted, climbed onto it, and wept, covering it with his hempen robe. The steed then bowed its head and spat, then raised its head and neighed, its voice reaching the heavens, like the sound of metal and stone.

--------

[Unwilling to ride in a salt cart] He cannot bear the weight of a heavy cart, and especially dislikes salt carts.

[A fat horse can go far] The fatter the horse, the more it can go far.

--------

Li Yu took the blue horse and handed it to Xiong Ba.

The sun was high in the sky, the wind and dew had all dissipated, and it was getting late.

After Li Yu finished his farewell drink, Pan Feng bid farewell to Wang Bin. A shout came from the Yuan family—

Set off.

[Bird Capital] transformed into [Celestial Rooster] and carried Yuan Shu. Li Yu summoned the Spirit Crane, and they soared into the sky.

--------

Luoyang, Xiyuan Girls' School.

In the garden, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Tuo crawled around on the grass, chasing a small green snake and having a great time.

--------

"Spirit Snake"

[Rank] Mysterious.

[Attributes] Main family charm +30, luck +10.

[Description] During the late Han Dynasty, Empress Zhen entered the Wei palace. In the palace, there was a green snake with a red pearl the size of a wutong seed in its mouth, which never harmed anyone. Whenever the Empress combed her hair, the snake would coil into a bun shape in front of her. The Empress found this strange and imitated it, creating a bun of exquisite craftsmanship. Therefore, her bun was different every day and was called the "Spirit Snake Bun." —From *Cai Lan Za Zhi*

Upon seeing Wang Rong by the pond, the two little girls abandoned Ling She and called out "Sister Rong" in their childish voices, wobbling as they walked over.

[Wang Rong] took two steps forward, picked up one of the two little ones who were not yet three years old, and carried the other on his back.

The serpent crawled over, leaped up, and landed on the head of her older sister, Zhen Jiang.

Little Zhen Jiang shook her head, failing to shake off the little snake, and then ignored it, tilting her head to ask, "What is Sister Rong doing?"

[Wang Rong] said, "Feed the fish."

On her back, her younger sister Zhen Tuo held Wang Rong's head tightly, straining to look into the pond: "Fish?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a carp leaped out of the water. It had golden whiskers and black scales, and was quite magnificent.

[Wang Rong] casts a [scroll].

The scroll was two feet long, twice the size of the black carp. However, the black carp opened its wide mouth and swallowed it whole.

Σ⊙▽⊙「！！

Σ(っ°Д°)っ! !

The two little girls opened their mouths in surprise, which amused Wang Rong, who then took out two pastries and stuffed them into their mouths.

After the two children finished eating, they looked for the fish again, but it had long since disappeared.
