Chapter 30: There is something strange in the palace

Just because Military Commander Cai Cheng couldn't achieve something doesn't mean Zhou Yuan couldn't achieve it.

【Sancai Posture】 For a normal person to be able to practice this kind of martial arts diagram to 30% to 50%, it would be considered a success. A talented person may be able to practice it to 70% to 80%.

But if you want to achieve perfection, to condense your energy and spirit and form the Three Talents Seal, then that cannot be achieved by relying on talent and years of practice.

This thing requires understanding. If you can understand it and feel the qi and guide the spirit, it will come naturally. If you can't understand it, you won't be able to succeed even if you practice until you are old.

However, these are the requirements for normal cultivation, but there are no restrictions on Zhou Yuan at all.

After the evening banquet began, Zhou Yuan and Cai Cheng had a good drinking contest. Cai Cheng's personal guards naturally helped him and forced Zhou Yuan to drink strong liquor.

But Zhou Yuan has the max level of 'Food Nourishment' skill, so it's extremely difficult to get him drunk.

Finally, the banquet ended with shouts of "You're a good drinker, a good man, let's drink together next time."

Mrs. Cai had already arranged for the servants to carry the drunk men into the room to rest.

Only Zhou Yuan remained awake and walked back to his guest room under the guidance of the servant.

When he arrived at the guest room, he no longer had to hide it. He directly put the 【Three Talents Pile】 into the attribute panel and clicked to use and learn.

The experience required for 【Sancai Post】 is five times that of 【Big Bear Post】, and 50 experience points are required for the first level.

But these are nothing. Zhou Yuan has accumulated a lot of experience points from attacking dungeons during this period, which is enough to upgrade the 【Three Talents Pillar】.

With the continuous input of experience points, 【Sancai Pillar】 was quickly upgraded to the maximum level.

However, the core of Sancai Posture is to strengthen the body, sense the Qi, and guide the spirit, rather than the nourishing Qi and refreshing the spirit of 【Big Bear Posture】.

Therefore, no new Qi and Shen attributes were provided to Zhou Yuan, only a little Jing attribute was added to him.

But this does not mean that the 【Three Talents Posture】 is weaker than the 【Big Bear Posture】. The reason for the difference is simply that the goals of cultivation are different.

The full-level 【Three Talents Post】 gives Zhou Yuan a passive skill of "Sense the Qi and Attract the Spirit" and an active skill of "Three Talents Seal".

After reaching the maximum level for his skills, he took another look at his attribute panel.

HP: 100%; Essence: 4, Qi: 2, Spirit: 2

"Very good, the state is complete, let me test the power of the Three Talents Seal."

Considering that this is someone else's house, it's not advisable to make too much noise.

On the way to the toilet, Zhou Yuan found a flower garden to test.

He bent down and found a large piece of flat land, then stretched his palm upward with his palm facing sideways, pressed his thumb on his little finger, and formed the Three Talents Seal.

The next moment, the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit gathered together, and his palms became red with blood, as if a large amount of energy and blood condensed in an instant.

In the soul's vision, the colorless world suddenly flashed with light, and a palm was wrapped in red, blue and yellow light, standing with a seal.

The effect of the Three Talents Seal was even stronger than Zhou Yuan had imagined. This was not a martial art that was easy to control, but rather a means of gathering energy and strength.

In this state, the Three Talents Seal cannot last long. The faster it is used, the better the effect and the less damage to oneself.

Moreover, this skill does not allow for light attacks with limited force, as it is a full-strength burst the moment it is launched.

In view of this, Zhou Yuan only felt the state of the seal and then made a seal on the damp land.

"boom···"

With a dull sound, a small pit was dug out in the damp ground, and the surrounding soil exploded and cracked from below. The vibration spread to all directions, stirring up a cloud of dirt and dust.

The soil around the pit was turned outward, but very compact in the center, which showed that the structure had been solidified by a heavy object.

Zhou Yuan looked at the basin-sized pit in front of him and his bruised and swollen palms, and truly felt how violent the explosion of the Three Talents Seal was.

This kind of violence not only inflicts damage on the target, but also harms the body of the person who casts the seal.

But this seal feels extremely comfortable when it is performed, just like what is described in the 【Three Talents Posture】. Forming the Three Treasures and releasing the Three Talents is a self-defense technique and also a method of enlightenment.

Once this Three Talents Seal is cast, one can indeed feel more intuitively the obscure aura and the mysterious God in the dark.

It can be considered a skill that attempts to control energy and spirit through riot.

Zhou Yuan glanced at his health bar which had dropped to 95%, picked up the hoe in the flower garden, and cleaned up the marks he had made.

Then he returned to the guest room, used a 'rice ball' to restore his health through the inventory, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, not only was his health bar full, but the negative status of his arm was also completely recovered, without any sign of damage.

Just as he was about to leave after breakfast, he saw an old man trimming flowers and plants in the flower garden where he had tested his skills yesterday.

Although the old man's expression was exactly the same as that of a normal person, the identity information on his health bar still revealed everything.

【Level 8 Painted Skin Old Woman】

"I wonder who that old woman is. Is there such an elderly servant in Brother Cai's mansion?"

"My dear, please do not be rude. She is the old lady of the mansion. She is a devout Buddhist and lives a frugal life. She never wears brocade clothes unless it is an important festival.

The old lady likes to plant something, and the master is worried that she will be tired, so he replaced it with a batch of easy-to-care-for flowers and plants for the old lady to use for entertainment.

"It turns out to be the old lady in the mansion. I'm so sorry.

It was me, a warrior, who judged people by their appearance and made a rash conclusion without even seeing Jin Yi and his servants. I am indeed guilty.

Don't disturb the old lady's pleasure. I'll go and apologize to Brother Cai first."

The servants in the mansion didn't think much about it and led Zhou Yuan directly to the main hall to sit down.

"Come, eat it while it's hot. Don't wait for those lazy guys. They drank too much yesterday. It will probably take them a while to get up."

Cai Cheng looked very happy. Zhou Yuan also knew that there was a difference between close relatives and distant relatives. If the old lady in the mansion spoke up with any questions, not only would she not be thanked, but she would be cut off from all ties.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to speak out the problems he found.

Since this Painted Skin Ghost was hiding in the Military Sima Mansion, he would definitely not do anything rash, otherwise Cai Cheng's wife and children would have died long ago.

"Brother Cai, I saw the old lady in the mansion when I came here just now, but we have to wait for her to take her seat before we can eat."

"No need. Mother has always been a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat. She can't eat our food."

"I see. Just now, I saw the old lady dressed simply and without any servants accompanying her. I thought she was a subordinate of the mansion. I hope Brother Cai will forgive me."

“I don’t blame you. If you weren’t an elder in the mansion, no one would have known that my mother was the owner of the mansion.

Since her father passed away, her temperament changed drastically. Sometimes she would not speak a word for more than ten days. After planting flowers and raising grass over the years, she has become much better.

But he still insisted on not keeping any extra money, chanting scriptures and burning incense, praying for blessings and atonement for my father and me, saying that we had killed too many people and it would be difficult to achieve good results.

Zhou Yuan didn't know that while he was talking with Cai Cheng, the old woman with painted skin also called out to the servant who was leading the way.

"Was that person just now Cheng'er's friend? What did he say to you?"

"Madam, that's Jing'andu Zhou Yuan, a close friend of yours.

Seeing your plain clothes, he thought you were a subordinate in the palace and has gone to apologize to you, my Lord."

"I should be the one to make apology, why should I ask Cheng'er for help?

I'm afraid he's someone who only recognizes official robes. It's better not to associate with such a hypocritical person who is guilty of murder."
