He Hu's hand was knocked away by Li Yao's shoulder, and he was thrown to the ground uncontrollably.
Everyone was stunned.
Chapter 126 Cultivation Advancement, A Little Girl with Ideas
"Brother Li, what's going on?"
Qiu Moyan and Tie Zhu were both shocked to see He Hu knocked to the ground.
Could it be that Li Yao came for them?
If that's the case, then their situation is precarious.
Li Yao gently patted the shoulder that He Hu had just touched and said to He Hu, "Don't pat my body too hard in the future. I have true qi protecting me, and it will bounce back."
Everyone then realized what was going on.
At the same time, everyone was amazed.
To be able to protect one's body with true qi—such profound internal skill is probably rare to find in the world today.
Qiu Moyan walked towards Li Yao, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you!"
Li Yao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Gongsun Wulong has committed many evils, so it is only right to capture him."
Qiu Moyan shook his head and said, "I was referring to the five cold arrows."
At this moment, Qiu Moyan had confirmed that the person who secretly shot down the five arrows when they were besieged by the black-clad cavalry that afternoon was Li Yao.
Li Yao smiled slightly, "You knew?"
Qiu Moyan nodded.
Tie Zhu and He Hu were completely baffled, not understanding what riddle Li Yao and Qiu Moyan were playing.
Defeating the big boss Gongsun Wulong will, of course, drop equipment... oh no, I should say, drop stat bonuses.
The ground is covered with attribute-elemental orbs!
Li Yao glanced at the ground.
"Ding! Successfully collected 'Luck Points', Luck +26!"
"Ding! Successfully acquired the 'True Qi' attribute, True Qi +39!"
...
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your true qi has exceeded 1000 points, and your realm has been upgraded to the fifth level of Qi Refining!"
"My cultivation level has finally improved again!"
Although, in the same world, there is a certain upper limit to the number of individual attributes that can be picked up.
Once this limit is reached, you will no longer be able to pick up this attribute.
However, Li Yao can improve his true qi by cultivating the "True Scripture of the Great Dao".
Therefore, when he left the world of Yitian, his cultivation had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Next, Li Yao acquired Gongsun Wulong's "Turtle Shell Divine Skill", "Sunflower Acupuncture Technique", and "Sound Transmission Secret Skill".
The Turtle Shell Divine Skill seems powerful, as it can defend against pressure point strikes, but it has a major flaw: it is ineffective when one is distracted.
In the original drama, Bai San Niang used the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique to immobilize Gongsun Wulong from a distance while he was distracted.
Therefore, this skill was even less useful than a chicken rib for Li Yao.
The Sunflower Acupuncture Technique was also applicable to Li Yao.
Whether it's the Finger Flicking Divine Skill or the One-Finger Divine Skill, their acupoint striking effects are far superior to those of the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand.
As for transmitting sound secretly, that's even less worth mentioning.
With Li Yao's internal energy cultivation, achieving the secret transmission of sound would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, Gongsun Wulong's greatest contribution to Li Yao was a large amount of luck points and true qi attributes.
Of course, Bai San Niang and others also contributed a lot of luck points and attributes.
After a fierce battle, the inn's lobby was in a terrible state, with broken tables, chairs, and benches scattered everywhere.
The Dragon Gate Inn originally had seven people.
The proprietress is Jin Xiangyu, there is a manager, four waiters, and a chef named Diao Buyu.
Now, three have died, leaving only the shopkeeper and three waiters.
The Longmen Inn is located in the middle of the desert, and there is only one place to stay for dozens of miles around. In addition, it is already dark.
Moreover, Qiu Moyan and the others had to wait for Zhou Huai'an to arrive.
Therefore, they could only stay at the inn for the time being.
Li Yao instructed the shopkeeper and waiters to tidy up the main hall and prepare some dishes that were not made with spiced pork.
Having witnessed Li Yao's prowess firsthand, the shopkeeper and waiter naturally obeyed his every command.
The innkeeper personally led Li Yao and the others to the second floor and arranged guest rooms for them.
Since the only guests in the inn were Li Yao and his group, plus Bai San Niang and Gongsun Wulong.
Therefore, there were quite a few empty rooms.
So the innkeeper specially arranged a private room for Li Yao.
After arranging the rooms, the innkeeper respectfully withdrew.
Li Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to practice the "True Scripture of the Great Dao," when he heard someone knocking on the door.
So he got out of bed, opened the door, and saw that it was Qiu Moyan.
Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Is there something you need?"
Qiu Moyan said, "It's not me looking for you, it's Yuying who needs to talk to you."
Yu Ying, naturally, refers to that little girl, Yang Yu Ying.
Li Yao was stunned for a moment. Why did Yang Yuying want to see him?
Without saying much, he nodded and followed Qiu Moyan to Qiu Moyan's room.
At this moment, Yang Yuying and Yang Yubao had already emerged from their baskets.
As soon as Yang Yuying saw Li Yao, she pulled Yang Yubao and knelt down in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao was stunned again, not understanding why Yang Yuying would do this.
Qiu Moyan and the others were also surprised, not expecting Yang Yuying to suddenly kneel down to Li Yao.
Li Yao quickly pulled Yang Yuying and her brother up and said, "What's wrong? Stand up and say it."
Yang Yuying pursed her lips and said, "Brother Li, I know you are very powerful. You killed that bad guy in one go. My father died unjustly. I would like to ask you to seek justice for my father."
It turns out that when Li Yao was dealing with Gongsun Wulong, Yang Yuying was upstairs and saw everything.
Qiu Moyan and the others looked at the other two brothers who were guarding the children, and the two immediately lowered their heads guiltily.
Upon hearing this, Li Yao's heart stirred, and an idea immediately popped into his head.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Yang Yuying, "I can help you seek justice for your father, but you and your brother must come to the capital with me."
"no!"
Before Yang Yuying could reply, Qiu Moyan said decisively, "We finally managed to rescue the two siblings. How can we send them into the lion's den? The capital is the domain of the Eastern Depot."
Li Yao ignored Qiu Moyan and asked Yang Yuying directly, "Yuying, do you dare to come to the capital with me?"
Yang Yuying was a very decisive young girl. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I dare. I'll go to the capital with you. But Yu Bao is still too young, so he shouldn't go. Is that alright?"
Although Yang Yubao was young, he could understand his sister's words. He held his sister's hand and weakly called out, "Sister."
Li Yao nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then."
Qiu Moyan quickly said to Yang Yuying, "Yuying, going to the capital is tantamount to suicide. You can't go."
Yang Yuying said resolutely, "No, I must go. I want to seek justice for my father. I am not afraid of death."
Qiu Moyan was about to persuade Yang Yuying again when Li Yao interrupted him.
Li Yao said, "Simply running away is not a fundamental solution to the problem. If you want Yu Ying and her brother to be able to live upright lives in the future, instead of hiding like rats, then you should stop trying to persuade them."
Qiu Moyan fell silent, because she knew that Li Yao's words made sense.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chapter 127 This world is getting more and more interesting.
Who is it?
Qiu Moyan and the others exchanged glances and asked warily.
"It's me, sir. The food is ready."
The person speaking outside is the shopkeeper.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They've been busy all day, and they still haven't eaten!
Previously, Tie Zhu and the others had almost eaten the spiced meat buns and even vomited up their stomachs. Now they were starving.
So they went downstairs together to eat.
At this moment, the lobby downstairs has been cleaned up and is now spotless.
However, it has become empty and desolate.
Because of the previous big battle between Li Yao and Gongsun Wulong, most of the tables, chairs and benches in the hall were smashed.
Now, only one table remains in slightly better condition in the lobby.
