Chapter 168: Flipping Sky Seal & Water Bandit’s Treasures

They indeed had gotten it.

Upon reaching River Heart Island, Junior Leopard let Little Du follow behind the navy to clear the remaining forces on the island. Though they were the remaining forces, their numbers were not small. Li Sanbao and his personally groomed underlings were all dead so that although the remaining water bandits were numerous, they had no heart to battle. Adding on to the fact that Little Du was following nearby, after an hour, most were killed and the rest were captured, apart from a lucky few who escaped. Approximately 100 bandits were tied up and brought to Broken Dragon Beach.

Junior Leopard was in no mood to see them. His thoughts were on the spoils of war.

He reached the bank of the shore with Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao. Zhu Ba had brought a team to look for Li Sanhe’s property.

As one of the water bandits with the biggest forces in Luo River, Junior Leopard believed that Li Sanbao would have had immense wealth. In fact, most of the navy thought so.

There was a group of captives, and though none of them were Li Sanbao’s trusted subordinates, it was very easy to find Li Sanbao’s treasure vault.

When Junior Leopard followed Zhu Ba into Li Sanbao’s treasure vault, his eyes were momentarily blinded by the wealth of gold and silver. No wonder people wanted to be water bandits. This kind of business was just too profitable.

The silver and gold alone would amount to over 20,000 taels, not to mention the rest. Adding on the accessories, jewelry, precious stones and pearls, the value would be magnified many times over.

Apart from these, there were also many weapons and some armor. The weapons and armor were nothing in Junior Leopard’s eyes, but it was extremely valuable to Wang Cheng and the rest. The armor was much stronger than the standard ones of the Jiang City Navy. Even though it was not enough to equip the whole navy, it could equip the elites. This alone would raise the fighting capacity of the navy by more than 50%.

“Your Excellency, look at this!” When Junior Leopard was inspecting carefully, when he heard an excited voice. He raised his head and saw Zhu Ba touching some type of mechanism. He opened a secret door within the treasure vault. Behind the secret door was a passageway, however, the passageway was not long. One glimpse and one could see the end. Below the treasure vault was a natural cave. The cave was not big, only 30 meters in circumference. It was chilly inside. Upon closer inspection, inside the cave were rows of shelves. These shelves were all filled with medicinal ingredients, as if it was a medicine shop.

Zhu Ba, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao were the first to enter the passageway. Junior Leopard followed behind.

Zhu Ba was the fastest. Upon entering the passageway, he opened a drawer on the shelf and took out the medicinal ingredients inside to smell. His face immediately revealed an excited expression, “Your Excellency, these are…!”

“I know! They are medicinal herbs for strengthening the body!” Junior Leopard interrupted his words and casually opened a drawer. He clawed a bunch of medicinal herbs and sniffed them, “Why, are you interested?!”

“What? Why would you say that? I’m not interested in these!” Zhu Ba said hurriedly rolling his eyes, “I’m only interested in the things outside!”

Those present were all clever people. They all understood that they were not fated with these medicinal herbs. Among these three, even Jiang Xiao who was the youngest was 33 years old. Their cultivation remained at Level Three and what they cultivated was not the proper Internal Qi way. Even if they had medicinal soup for strengthening the body placed in front of them, it would not be beneficial for them. Even if these medicinal ingredients were placed in their hands, they would ultimately choose to sell them and earn some money and not really use them to strengthen the body. Now that Junior Leopard was present, they would naturally express their attitude within the first few moments.

“The things outside!”

Thinking about the silver and gold outside, Junior Leopard smiled. “Today the brothers have worked hard. They should be properly rewarded. When Wang Datong comes, let him distribute the spoils outside to everyone. As for the way of distribution, I leave it up to you guys!”

“Thank you Your Excellency!” The three of them expressed their gratitude repeatedly. Especially Zhu Ba, his face was full of merry. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his big yellow teeth and emitting a strong smell, which caused Junior Leopard to frown.

“Your Excellency, shouldn’t we get some brothers to bring all these back to the barracks?!” Wang Cheng asked.

“Back to the barracks?!” Junior Leopard frowned. He seemed to have thought of something. “Commander Wang, don’t you think that our navy barracks are a little too small?!”

“Too small?!” Wang Cheng was stunned for a while before understanding, “You mean…!”

“River Heart Island is not bad. In the future we should set up our navy barracks here. Commander Wang, you are someone rooted in the navy. This shouldn’t be a problem?!”

“Not a problem!” Wang Cheng thought for a while, “Although the barracks position is fixed by the rule, we can set up a training ground here. Anyway, River Heart Island has always been occupied by Li Sanbao. Jiang City has never interfered with it. Now that we have conquered it, it would be a pity if we didn’t grab it in our hands. However, there are some connections that need to be established…!”

Speaking till here, Wang Cheng’s face became somewhat hesitant.

“Then I will leave this task to you to handle. Don’t be afraid of spending money. When this matter is settled, we will have lots of money!” Junior Leopard said, “As for how it works, I will leave it to you. I have no experience in this area!”

“Your Excellency please relaxes. I will definitely do a proper job of this matter. However, in front of the Magistrate and Garrison you may be needed to say some words!”

“No problem!” Junior Leopard said, “I believe the Magistrate and the Garrison will give me some face!”

“Your Excellency, we have a discovery here!”

There was suddenly an excited voice from above.

What did you discover?!” Jiang Xiao asked.

“It seems to be a manual about martial arts!” The voice upstairs replied. It was one of the navy captains, Yuan Long.

The small group of people in the cave looked at each other. Their eyes revealed surprise and excitement as they exited the secret cave.

Your Excellency, look!” Yuan Long saw Junior Leopard coming out, and he hurriedly placed a half-opened wooden box in front of him.

Junior Leopard was not courteous. He took it away to examine. There were two books. One was yellow, with the words ‘Cross Training Diamond Body’. This was the martial arts that Li Sanbao had relied upon to dominate Luo River. The other book was black. It was made from some unknown animal’s skin. On it was a drawing of a naked person. There were all sorts of lines drawn on the figure and there were annotations all around it. Junior Leopard was someone who had seen lots of good stuff, but when he saw the things recorded in this book, his expression changed greatly.

“Flipping Sky Seal!”

Flipping Sky Seal. This was a secret skill. Even though he didn’t know how powerful it was, just based on the complicated Internal Qi circulation changes introduced in this book, Junior Leopard understood that it was a high level secret skill.

Seeing Junior Leopard’s expression change, Yuan Long’s heart tightened. He silently regretted having excitedly opened the box.

It must be known that in the Jianghu, there were certain rules to follow.

In conflicts among gangs in martial arts world, when one sect destroyed another sect and received the spoils of war, the biggest spoils were usually received by the winner’s leader. Especially this kind of martial arts manual, elixirs and medicine etc. Not only did the leader have to be the one receiving it, he had to personally receive it. This was in case too many people knew about it and leaked it out, inviting trouble.

Like previously, when he’d discovered the wooden box, he should have delivered it to Junior Leopard firsthand. He shouldn’t have opened it and seen what things were inside before calling Junior Leopard. This was taboo.

“It’s just two martial arts skills. It’s not a big deal!” Junior Leopard said. He casually flipped through it and read the whole Cross Training Diamond Body from head to toe. He then took it out from the box and passed it to Wang Cheng, “Commander Wang, I will leave this book to you. Choose some people with good aptitude and teach them this martial arts skill.”

“Ah?!” The people present were all stunned. They were extremely surprised by Junior Leopard’s decision. It was not a special thing to pass down martial arts, however normally. They would pass it down to the trusted subordinates. Who else, other than Junior Leopard, would casually take out a manual and let people handle it anyway they want. It was too surprising to let him choose people with good aptitude and pass it down to them.

Had he really come to the Jiang City Navy just to fish for benefits? He seemed like a person who wished to create trusted subordinates in Jiang City and dominate the whole region.

Wang Cheng didn’t say anything, and happily received the Cross Training Diamond Body manual. It was a priceless treasure to Wang Cheng and the rest. Li Sanbao had relied on this cultivation method to dominate the Luo River for over ten years. Its power was something evident to them. The navy had suffered a lot from this type of martial arts. When the navy was at its strongest, there were over 50 battleships attacking Broken Dragon Beach. Li Sanbao had relied on this cultivation method to block them at Broken Dragon Beach and he had resisted them until the other bandits from Multiple Chain Dock arrived to assist them. They had fought a brilliant battle on the beach, beating the navy to a pulp. The Jiang City Navy had deteriorated from the encounter.

Hence, the leaders in the navy were extremely familiar with this cultivation method. Of course they were hungry for it. Originally, they had been thinking of employing some means to get Junior Leopard to teach it to them. Who knew that they didn’t need to say a word and Junior Leopard would directly let them handle the book. Hence, Wang Cheng was extremely happy.

Only Jiang Xiao’s gaze shifted. He looked at Junior Leopard. He began to delve deep into thought. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

“There’s also another secret skill. Even though it’s very powerful, it requires one’s Internal Qi cultivation to reach Level Five before one can cultivate it. When your cultivation has reached such a level, I’ll naturally teach it to you all!”

“Your Excellency is too heavy with your words. We are all satisfied with this Cross Training Diamond Body. We don’t dare to covet the secret skill!” Wang Cheng exclaimed hurriedly.

“Hmm, then that’s all for today. Jiang Xiao, Wang Datong, keep stock of everything here. Commander Wang, we should go out first. Tomorrow we go back to Jiang City at first light!”

“Yes!” The crowd responded in unison. This time around, their voices were extremely magnificent.
