Chapter 77

Liang Ziweng, a kind and selfless man, a man who had transcended base interests, spent twenty years cultivating a large snake, and then generously gave it to Guo Jing, who had no relation to him. This selflessness and great love were something that anyone in the martial world would have to give a thumbs up for...

Of course, that was under the condition that no one interfered. Now that Su Yi had arrived, this great snake would likely end up in his stomach. When Su Yi first met Liang Ziweng, he was in the process of re-cultivating the *Nine Yang True Scripture*. He was afraid that consuming any heavenly treasures might destabilize his foundation, so he did not consider the snake at that time...

When he finally cultivated the *Nine Yang True Scripture* to the third volume's realm, he could have consumed the snake's blood, but he then began to worry if the snake was not yet fully grown. Otherwise, why would Liang Ziweng not be in a hurry to eat it?

Such a precious treasure, if not consumed at its peak medicinal efficacy, would be a tremendous waste...

So, Su Yi temporarily entrusted the snake to Liang Ziweng. He knew that as soon as Guo Jing appeared, it meant the snake was fully grown and ready to be enjoyed. That's why he was not in a hurry to eat it... He basically used Liang Ziweng as a warehouse for the snake...

Now, Guo Jing was already enjoying a feast at the Prince's mansion, and Su Yi, who should have been there to accompany him, was naturally focused on the snake that could greatly enhance one's martial arts skills.

Su Yi had already cultivated the third volume of the *Nine Yang True Scripture* to the same realm as before his re-cultivation. Because it was his second re-cultivation, the purity of his true qi was no less than that of Zhang classmate, who would later fully master the *Nine Yang True Scripture*, though the quantity was far less...

The crisis of an unstable foundation had been completely resolved, and he had stayed at the third volume for quite some time. Wasn't this great snake the very opportunity to help Su Yi break through the third volume of the *Nine Yang True Scripture*?

Therefore, even though Yang Tiexin was probably already imprisoned in the dungeon, Su Yi had no time to deal with it. He would wait patiently, and once he found the great snake, he would go to save him...

Liang Ziweng's residence was a very quiet and elegant place, not very large but very clean and refined. He was confident that this was the Jin Kingdom's Prince's mansion, with strict security, and Wanyan Honglie relied heavily on him, so ordinary people could not enter his residence. Therefore, he placed everything casually. Su Yi only needed to look around a bit and found a large basket next to many medicine jars.

Found it!!!

Su Yi's heart leaped with joy. This fool had such a great treasure and did not carefully hide it but placed it so openly. No wonder in the original story, he was first discovered by Hong Qigong, who pulled out his hair, and then the great snake was eaten by Guo Jing. He was clearly a villain, yet he acted so openly and honestly?

Of course, this benefited me...

Su Yi walked over excitedly, reached out to open the basket, and his face immediately tightened. It was empty...

Where was the snake?!

Su Yi was inwardly alarmed. Had someone taken it away?

Just as he was thinking, a sudden rumbling sound came from behind, followed by a strong, pungent wind.

Su Yi quickly ducked, and a bowl-thick red snake head rushed past, its heavy body landing on Su Yi's shoulders.

The great snake, missing its target, bent its head and tightly coiled around Su Yi, opening its mouth and hissing at him.

A slightly pungent but mostly rich medicinal aroma filled the air. Although Su Yi was tightly coiled, he could not help but feel a surge of joy. This great snake was indeed a treasure, even its breath carried a medicinal fragrance...

Liang Ziweng... what a good man!

Su Yi inwardly praised. Feeling the snake's body tightening, he coldly snorted, and his body suddenly became boneless. The snake, which had been tightly coiled, suddenly lost its grip and slid off Su Yi's body.

Su Yi extended his right hand, swiftly grabbing the snake's head, and then drew his Qingming Sword with his left hand. With a swift slash, he pierced the snake...

The great snake hissed in pain, its body twisting, but Su Yi's body was as slippery as if coated in oil. No matter how the snake coiled and writhed, it could not get a hold on him. Su Yi quickly released the Qingming Sword and took out a wine jar he had prepared, catching all the flowing snake blood. Such a treasure, even a single drop would be a tremendous waste!

After a short while, the great snake's struggles gradually weakened, and its body finally bled out. Su Yi chuckled, casually throwing the dead snake on the ground. He then skillfully found the position of the snake's gallbladder, made two quick slashes, and a nearly fist-sized gallbladder flew out, which he caught in his hand.

"Hehe, the most precious part of the snake should be the gallbladder, right? Guo Jing, Liang Ziweng, you bunch of clowns, no matter how good the snake's blood is, can it surpass the gallbladder? I'll take it all back and enjoy it..."

He chuckled smugly, then leisurely wiped the blood off his hands with the child's clothes. Looking at the herbs in the child's hand, he realized that the child had been opening the basket to feed the great snake when he heard a noise outside, ran out to check, and the snake took the opportunity to escape...

"Kid! Thank me. If I hadn't come, you would have become the great snake's meal soon..." Su Yi said to the unconscious child, completely forgetting that if he hadn't suddenly appeared, the child wouldn't have come out to check, and the snake wouldn't have escaped.

"In any case, this great snake finally belongs to me..."

Su Yi reluctantly looked at the snake's corpse. Even if the meat was not as effective as the snake's blood and gallbladder, it must still have a very high efficacy. Unfortunately, he was too busy to consume the snake's blood and meditate right away. If he drank it like Guo Jing in the original story, the effect would not be as good as slowly digesting it later!

He gently shook the wine gourd filled with snake blood, sighed contentedly, and once again used his lightness skill to head towards the dungeon where Yang Tiexin was imprisoned...

Next, it was time to witness the moment of fate!

To be honest, Su Yi did not remember the original story very clearly, but he remembered that Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo's meeting was due to someone's rescue. He was going to play the role of the rescuer and guide him to Bao Xiruo's residence...

In the original story, Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin were discovered by their unfilial son shortly after meeting, and then they fled. They didn't even have time to talk properly before committing suicide. Now that Su Yi was in this world, he would not let that happen.

However... he still needed to see if Yang Tiexin would mind that Bao Xiruo had been married before. In the original story, the situation was too urgent, and he didn't have time to hear his words. Moreover, Bao Xiruo was very kind to Su Yi, and he did not want to purely believe the original story. He had to witness it himself!

"Yang Tiexin, if you dare to show any dissatisfaction, hehe, I won't kill you on the spot, but making you disappear from the world is not difficult at all!"

As he flew through the air, a hint of a murderous smile appeared on Su Yi's lips, deeper and more sinister than the dark night itself!
