Chapter 11: Daughter of the Medicine King
A short moment of exchanging hands had caused Jiang Nan's Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique to improve at a deeper level!
However, if he wanted to win against this Golden Scaled Python, he was still unable to do so.
"The serpent python is soft and boneless, and with just the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique, it's difficult for me to win and suppress it by a single step! Moreover, my physical energy is insufficient, if I continue to fight, I will definitely be strangled and devoured by this poisonous python!"
Jiang Nan's brain was running at a rapid pace, his body was like a swimming dragon traveling through the mountains and forests, only to feel that the power in his body was being consumed at a rapid pace, gradually becoming a bit overwhelmed, and he thought in his heart, "I've been speculating about the Golden Scaled Python's every move, perfecting moves such as the Dragon Serpent Rising to the Landing and the Jiao Dragon Emerging from the Abyss, so naturally, there's no way I could have done a more perfect job than this Golden Python. If I want to defeat it, I'm afraid I can't do it with the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique's rigid strength, the only way is to overcome it with softness!"
"The great river comes out of the deep valley!"
Jiang Nan's stance remained unchanged, it was still the Dragon Snake Rising and Landing stance, but the stance in his hands changed abruptly, transforming into the Jiang Yue Breaking Waves Technique, the true qi between his hands ran and ran, just like a great river surging and rushing out from the deep valley!
River Moon Breaking Waves Skill was very different from the fierce and domineering Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Skill, this technique was extremely slow, as soft as water, but the strong power was hidden in it, going to the other extreme, using the soft power to achieve the effect of overcoming the enemy and defeating the enemy.
However, this soft force was mixed with an incomparably fierce and overbearing power, and when it erupted in an instant, it might not be inferior to the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique!
Jiang Nan's hands were like hauling a Yangtze River with extreme changes, capturing the Golden Scaled Python's whereabouts in the blink of an eye, one palm flipped like a gazelle hanging on to the snake's tail in a marvelous manner, while the other palm pressed on the snake's body, and the softness between his hands erupted in an instant!
He used the Golden Scaled Python's body as the Yangtze River between his palms, his hands unfolded and gently stroked, only to hear the sound of snapping and cracking of bones instantly coming from wherever his palms passed!
Wherever his palms went, the snake bones of the Golden Scaled Python were all crushed by the immense power contained in his palms!
This was power that was soft to the extreme, even the soft and boneless body of the snake python was unable to dislodge this power and could only withstand it.
Jiang Nan's gaze did not have the slightest emotion surging through it, as if he was still practicing the move of the Great River coming out of the deep valley alone, rather than fighting with a hundred year old giant python.
The giant python was in pain, and in this short moment, Jiang Nan had already stroked its tail bones by as much as three or four feet, making it difficult to move.
The giant python hurriedly twisted its head, twisting its thick snake body, whirring and turning, wrapping Jiang Nan in a deadly tangle!
It couldn't help but rejoice as its body trapped Jiang Nan, twisting its body with the intention of strangling this difficult opponent to the point of shattering all of its bones!
At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth and bit down on Jiang Nan, who was tangled solidly, intending to devour this delicious human from the beginning!
Jiang Nan was entangled by the Golden Scaled Python, but he was still not the least bit panicked. He took a long breath, and his chest was like a drum, resisting the python's stranglehold, and suddenly, the power between his hands changed into the "Great River with Tidal Wave" move.
The power between his hands was like a wave, one wave after another, the first wave had just gone, the second wave was coming, one wave followed the other, one wave pressed the other!
In the sound of waves, this Golden Scaled Python was also shocked by the power coming from his hands to the point that his body was tingling, his muscles and flesh could not make half a point of force, and the body that had just been tightly wrapped around couldn't help but loosen up, as if it was a dead snake paralyzed on the ground!
"Mixed Yuan Open Tablet Hand!"
Jiang Nan sliced down with a palm, like a great axe opening a monument, and the Golden Scaled Python's triangular head was broken in response to the palm, as if its head had been chopped off with an axe!
Jiang Nan's legs went limp, his muscles shaking as if they were cramping, and he sat on the head of the great snake, huffing and puffing a few mouthfuls of rough air to calm his true qi, and then he operated the Devil Prison Xuan Tire Scripture to recover his bodily functions.
"Is this world brother from the Qi King's Mansion or the Mu King's Mansion?"
That red-clothed girl came forward, her beautiful eyes blinking as she continuously sized Jiang Nan up, falling into a generous manner, she gave a salute and laughed, "Yue Ling'er thanks World Brother for his help."
"You are?"
Jiang Nan did not answer directly, but looked up to survey this young girl, and in his heart, he could not help but praise this red-clothed young girl named Yue Ling'er, who had fair and delicate skin, and clear eyebrows, but had a valiant and heroic aura.
Her clothing was gorgeous and expensive, although her clothes were a bit tattered and her description was in a mess, but she could still tell that the workmanship was extremely exquisite and exquisite, and she should be from an extraordinary background.
Yue Ling'er smiled faintly, the soft sword in her hand gently shook, the sword light drew a snow-white lotus flower in the air, and laughed, "World Brother, now you should know what Little Sister is, right?"
Jiang Nan became more and more bewildered, but it was the devil clock in his body that started to move, a lotus flower gradually emerged on the surface of the devil clock, and it was clearly starting to deduce the technique that Yue Ling'er was practicing.
Yue Ling'er said angrily, ''You, this person, surely this is the first time you've left your home? I can't believe that you don't even recognize the Lotus Luoshen Sword of my Pill King's Mansion. Okay, okay, I won't let you guess, I'm from the Medicine King's Mansion, because I want to pick a top quality medicinal herb which is why I entered the Sunset Cloud Mountain, but I didn't expect that the medicinal herb to be guarded by a demonic beast such as the Golden Scaled Red Thread Python which chased and killed me for hundreds of miles."
"Pill King's Mansion?"
Jiang Nan was slightly stunned, he had heard of the prestigious name of the Medicine King's Mansion more than once, the Medicine King's Mansion was another major royal mansion of the Jianwu Kingdom, not far away from the Lixia Mountain.
This royal house was proficient in medicine, not so much in martial arts, not only healing the dead but also refining superior pills to nourish the bodies of martial arts experts and nourish their true qi.
There were even rumors that the Pill King's Mansion had several supreme elixirs that would allow an ordinary person to eat them and immediately become a top expert with an incomparably deep cultivation of true qi!
He had also heard that the Qi Royal Family often sent people to the Pill King's Mansion to purchase pills for the clan's children to take, and that the two families had great dealings.
However, Yue Ling'er's old-fashioned manner of saying that he was going out for the first time made Jiang Nan laugh in his heart, just now, he killed the Golden Scaled Python with the martial arts of the Qi King's Mansion, and Yue Ling'er actually didn't see it, apparently she was also a rookie in the jianghu for the first time.
Yue Ling'er even measured Jiang Nan, only to see that he was clear and handsome, gentle and elegant, like Jian Yue, with both the manners of a scholar and the gallantry of a martial arts expert, the clothes on his body were tattered, but his gracefulness was not to be underestimated, his heart praised him, and he didn't feel that he held a few good feelings towards Jiang Nan, smilingly saying, "Shiyi brother, dare I ask what do you call yourself?"
"Yue Shi Mei, if I tell you my name, won't I have the suspicion of holding a favor in return?"
Jiang Nan laughed and changed the topic, "Shiyi sister, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
Yue Ling'er was stunned, "World Brother, you don't want this Golden Scaled Red Thread Python anymore?"
"Golden Scaled Red Thread Python?"
Jiang Nan stopped and wondered, "This big snake is highly poisonous, it's impossible to eat it, what do I want it for?"
Yue Ling'er couldn't help but be speechless and laughed, "World Brother, you are really a rookie. This Golden Scaled Red Thread Python has quite a lot of treasures on its body, not only the fangs in its mouth, the snake skin on its body are all good things, even the snake bones are excellent treasures, the most valuable thing is the red thread on its back, one of them is a large crimson tendon that is incredibly tough, it can be made into both a whip and a bowstring, it's not exchangeable for a thousand gold!"
"Thousands of gold won't be exchanged? This dead snake is so valuable?"
Jiang Nan was dumbfounded, not realizing that this python he had unintentionally killed was so valuable!
"World Brother, although the Golden Scaled Red Thread Python isn't particularly valuable, it's good to use it to refine into weapon armor." Yue Ling'er laughed.
Jiang Nan couldn't help but be greatly moved, he wasn't a son of the wealthy Qi family, but a downtrodden scholar, this Golden Scaled Red Thread Python was indeed a considerable fortune for him.
"Although this python is a great fortune, I don't have a way to sell it and turn it into silver taels ...... Well, maybe it can be like this ......"
Jiang Nan swept a glance at Yue Ling'er, his heart moved slightly, and he smiled, "Sister Shiyi, I've heard that your Pill King Mansion's pills are superior to others, I wonder if you've brought some on you?"
Yue Ling'er didn't understand what she meant, Jiang Nan smiled, "I want to use this Golden Scaled Red Thread Python and exchange it with Shiyi Sister for some pills for cultivation."
Yue Ling'er's eyes lit up as she laughed, "My little sister originally also needed some snake venom and snake bones to dispense pills, but I was just too embarrassed to ask for them... Since Shiyi brother said so, my little sister will buy this Golden Scaled Red Thread Python."
She took out several bottles of pills and handed them to Jiang Nan, saying, "These two bottles are Qi Benefiting Pills, capable of nourishing the True Qi, these two bottles are Spirit Enriching Pills, nourishing the Essence and Spirit, and these two bottles are Body Nourishing Pills, nourishing the physical body."
Yue Ling'er rummaged through her clothes again and apologized, "World brother, my little sister only brought this little bit of elixir, it's not worth as much as this Golden Scaled Red Thread Python, how about this, you agree on a time and place, after I return to the Pill King's Mansion I'll fetch the elixir and exchange it ...... with you."
"A Golden Scaled Red Thread Python, what's there to worry about?"
Jiang Nan accepted these bottles and jars and floated away, smiling, "Sister Yue Shi, farewell!"
Yue Ling'er saw him off and hurriedly said in a loud voice, "World Brother, Little Sister accepts a favor from you! I dare to ask World Brother to leave his name and surname, so that Little Sister can repay him in the future!"
Jiang Nan laughed and did not reply, waving his hand and walking into the mountains and forests.
"What a weirdo."
Yue Ling'er stomped her foot and muttered to herself, "In the vicinity of this Lok Ha Mountain, apart from the Qi King's Mansion and my Medicine King's Mansion, it's the Mu King's Mansion... the clan children of the Qi King's Mansion and Mu King's Mansion tend to hear of my Medicine King's Mansion's name, they definitely want to go up to curry favor with me in a hundred ways, but he is treating me with respect... it's the first time that I've encountered a character like this... ..."
She took out a bamboo tube and shook the fire refractor to ignite the fuse of the bamboo tube, only to hear a snorting sound as the smoke and fire took off and exploded in mid-air.
Yue Ling'er stood quietly at the edge of the mountain stream, after a few moments she only heard the sound of breaking air, and someone else shouted, "County Master is there!"
More than ten Medicine King House experts came to Yue Ling'er's side in an instant, bowing and saluting, saying, "County Master, you ran away privately into the Falling Cloud Mountain, the King is very worried ...... about the Golden Scaled Red Thread Python!"
These Pill King House experts could not help but be taken aback when they saw the golden scaled python, and one of them, an old crone, lost her voice and said, "Could it be that this golden scaled red threaded python was killed by the young lady? It seems that Miss's martial arts cultivation has improved again!"
The others and others came forward to express their joy, Yue Ling'er's pretty face blushed and laughed, "You guys are mistaken, this is a passing Shiyi brother who saw me in danger and thus stepped in to help and killed this python. This python is worth a lot, you guys carry it back and sell it for some silver."
The crowd hurriedly said yes.
Yue Ling'er looked again at Jiang Nan's departing direction and thought, "He looks younger than me, but his strength is far superior to mine, I just don't know if I can meet him again ......"
