Chapter 98: Dragon Snake Gall, Martial Saint Bottleneck, Fourth Layer Of Futuo Technique
Su Mo saw the snake mouth open and bite toward him, then he leaped into the air in an instant, slashing down with a sword in mid-air!
The Frost Moon Sword instantly turned into a flash of lightning, slicing across the snake’s neck, severing the massive snake head from the neck with one sword stroke.
Boom!
The snake head fell into the water, immediately splashing up a massive water splash.
The enormous snake body, with its head severed, quickly began to sink.
Su Mo also fell into the water from mid-air, disappearing into a splash of water.
“Master!”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi exclaimed in shock.
Xue Li Yang also had a face full of terrified worry, her eyes fixed tightly on that patch of water surface churning with water splashes and waves.
Zhang Qiling, however, still stood on the bamboo raft with a calm face like still water, showing no worry in his eyes.
He knew Su Mo was absolutely fine!
In no time, the water surface suddenly bubbled up with a splash, and then a human figure leaped out of the water.
It was none other than Su Mo.
He held the Frost Moon Sword in his right hand, while pinching a green snake gall in his left, leaping out of the water and landing on the bamboo raft.
Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, and Xue Li Yang were immediately overjoyed:
“Master, you’re okay!”
“You scared me to death, Master!”
Xue Li Yang didn’t speak, but her face was already full of joy.
Zhang Qiling still didn’t speak, as if he had long anticipated Su Mo’s appearance; he merely glanced at Su Mo before turning around and silently walking to the front of the bamboo raft, picking up the Black Gold Ancient Blade to stand guard.
Su Mo shook the water off his body and smiled faintly:
“I’m fine, I just went into the water to retrieve the snake gall!”
This green scaled giant python was a massive creature in the She Pa River, and no one knew how many years it had lived in this waterway; its body was enormous, comparable to a dragon!
For such a beast, even if there was no inner core in its body, the snake gall must be extremely precious, likely not inferior to the blue snake gall that Su Mo had bought for a fortune at the New Moon Hotel.
Therefore, when Su Mo saw the snake body sink into the water, he immediately jumped in; relying on the Great Yin Meditation Technique, he found the snake’s abdomen underwater, cut it open, and retrieved the snake gall.
This snake gall was about the size of a fist, almost disproportionate compared to the massive snake body.
But as the saying goes, good things come in small packages.
Though the snake gall was not large, it was intricately jade-green throughout, with a shimmering luster on the surface—clearly no ordinary item!
【Dragon Snake Gall, born within the green scaled dragon snake nurtured for a millennium in the She Pa River; consuming it grants powerful boosts to cultivation and physique!】
【The gall bladder contains toxicity; ordinary people must not touch it lightly!】
Through the Great Yin Meditation Technique, the attributes of the Dragon Snake Gall immediately appeared before Su Mo’s eyes.
Su Mo couldn’t help but feel delighted.
This Dragon Snake Gall was indeed extraordinary; though the gall bladder contained deadly poison, it was only problematic for ordinary people—for Su Mo, it was no issue at all.
Su Mo then stowed the Frost Moon Sword and directly bit into the Dragon Snake Gall.
With one bite, the bitter taste of the dragon snake gall juice, along with the toxins in the bile, instantly numbed his entire taste buds.
As the snake gall entered his stomach, a scarlet, scorching heat surged, instantly boiling his blood once more!
The surging heat drove his qi and blood to flow rapidly; in mere moments, his qi sea expanded again, and at the same time, his nascent soul grew stronger once more!
Moreover, his physique seemed to be tempered again amid this surging qi and blood; his skin even took on a steel-like sheen!
“You swallowed the Dragon Snake Gall; your cultivation has advanced again, reaching the bottleneck of the Martial Saint Realm!”
“Your Futuo Technique has broken through the Fourth Heavenly Cycle, reaching Blue Level Futuo!”
“Blue Level Futuo, also known as Bright Moon Art, can absorb moon essence for your own use, generating immensely thick bright moon qi radiance throughout the body, making the skin as hard as hundred-forged steel!”
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Su Mo felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Xue Li Yang and the others also noticed the changes on Su Mo’s body, all feeling extremely amazed:
“Master Su, after eating this snake gall, your skin seems a bit different!”
“Yeah, Master, this snake gall seems really magical!”
Su Mo smiled faintly:
“This Dragon Snake Gall is indeed beneficial for cultivation, but the gall bladder contains toxins—ordinary people can’t eat it!”
Mentioning deadly poison, he suddenly remembered something; he then took out the remaining quarter of Kirin’s Gall from the system space and handed it to Xue Li Yang.
The Kirin’s Gall he had bought at the New Moon Hotel was no longer useful to him; he had divided it into four portions, giving three to Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, and Da Jin Ya, leaving the final quarter for Xue Li Yang.
Though it was only a quarter of the Kirin’s Gall, consuming it would grant faint kirin blood, providing resistance to common toxins and deterring ordinary snakes, insects, and fierce beasts.
“This is a good thing; after you eat it, you’ll be immune to ordinary toxins!”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi saw the Kirin’s Gall and couldn’t help but laugh:
“I was wondering why Master kept a portion—it turns out it was for Commander Yang!”
“Commander Yang, after eating this piece of Kirin’s Gall, you’ll be Master’s woman, and then we’ll have to call you Master’s Wife!”
Xue Li Yang blushed slightly upon hearing this.
She was originally a bold and forthright woman who got along casually with Su Mo and the others, but after hearing Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi’s words, she couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.
“What Master’s Wife? You’re talking nonsense!”
Seeing her annoyed, Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi quickly stopped talking but began complaining to each other.
“Fatty, you always talk nonsense—what Master’s Wife and all; look, you’ve made Commander Yang angry!”
“Old Hu, you just pass the buck; you were the one who started the topic!”
“I started the topic, but I didn’t say any of that!”
“Fine, fine, it’s all my fault; just don’t call her Master’s Wife later!”
Xue Li Yang’s face turned bright red; she glared fiercely at Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi, but took the Kirin’s Gall from Su Mo and popped it directly into her mouth.
Su Mo watched and couldn’t help laughing:
“You ate it without even looking—are you not afraid it might be poisonous?”
Xue Li Yang snorted:
“Even if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t bring me all the way to Zhelong Mountain in Diannan just to do it now—what a waste of effort!”
“Unless you really want to open a New Moon Hotel here and bring over that charming Boss’s Wife!”
Su Mo, Hu Ba Yi, and the others were all stunned upon hearing this.
So Commander Yang knew about the New Moon Hotel and also knew Yin Nanfeng!
It made sense; though Xue Li Yang had gone straight to Su Mo’s place after getting off the airplane, Su Mo lighting three sky lanterns at the New Moon Hotel had caused such a commotion that she naturally heard about it.
But her personality wasn’t one to nitpick, so she hadn’t mentioned it to Su Mo.
Meanwhile, Hu Ba Yi couldn’t help cursing Wang Pang Zi under his breath:
“Fatty, it’s all your stinking mouth; if you hadn’t mentioned the New Moon Hotel, how would Commander Yang know!”
Wang Pang Zi was stunned for a moment, wearing a grievance worse than Dou E’s:
“Old Hu, I’m even more innocent than Dou E; I didn’t say anything!”
