Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 246: 246 Qi Transformation Spirit Technique

Mortal Rank Spiritual Rank items, for Yun Xiao, were too trivial. He knew far more formidable methods than these; and secondly, Yun Xiao also knew that with his current strength, he might not necessarily be able to break through those Intermediate or Advanced Spiritual Rank Protective Light Shields.

Although accompanied by Mo Qing, Yun Xiao was not the type to casually owe favors. He had not yet repaid Mo Qing for saving his life twice, let alone owing more favors, which would further complicate their relationship with this talented young girl.

Mo Qing naturally did not know about Yun Xiao’s thoughts. Her visit to the Jade Martial Institute this time was not to exchange for any Cultivation Techniques or Meridian Techniques, hence she ended up following Yun Xiao somewhat unintentionally.

It was only after a long time that Yun Xiao suddenly stopped walking. Mo Qing, lost in thought, almost bumped into Yun Xiao’s back, which left her quite annoyed.

”What are you doing?”

Smelling the masculine scent of Yun Xiao, Mo Qing stepped back frustratedly, though her face showed a hint of anger, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Xiao’s abrupt halt.

”Hey, Senior Sister Mo Qing, why are you always following me? Don’t you have your own things to take care of?”

Rebuked unexpectedly by Mo Qing’s words, Yun Xiao touched his nose and spoke with a hint of helplessness. Indeed, he had stopped because someone had been following him all along.

Upon hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Mo Qing’s heart trembled suddenly, and her ears inexplicably reddened, but she refused to admit it, coldly saying, ”Who is following you? I just haven’t seen anything I like, that’s all. What, is this road owned by your family?”

To hide her inner panic, Mo Qing deliberately acted indifferent and unusually asked so many questions, which made Yun Xiao somewhat embarrassed for a moment.

As Mo Qing said, to each their own. There was only this main road inside the Jade Martial Institute. If Mo Qing really wanted to go back, wouldn’t she have to go the same way as Yun Xiao?

But the next moment, Yun Xiao had regained his composure, secretly thinking this girl was really good at bluffing. She had been following him from the plaza where Chang Qing was, without paying attention to the things in other plazas.

Yun Xiao, being a perceptive person, didn’t expose Mo Qing’s reluctance to tell her reasons. As he walked forwards tens of steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

”Ling Wan?”

Yun Xiao stopped, his gaze turning towards a plaza on the left. There, a somewhat chubby young boy, Ling Wan, who was quite close to him, appeared.

But Ling Wan’s location was obviously not where he had separated from Yun Xiao previously. This place was still a low-ranking Spiritual Rank area, which meant that the things placed on the stone platform in Ling Wan’s plaza were likely of low Spiritual Rank.

As Yun Xiao murmured, Mo Qing also noticed that plaza. She was familiar with Ling Wan, not only from his stunning performances in the Outer Sect competition, but now Ling Wan was the junior brother following her lineage.

Ling Wan was naturally kind and simple. After getting to know him over time, Mo Qing had grown quite fond of him, so seeing the plaza where Ling Wan was, she couldn’t help but frown.

”How could Ling Wan, with his late-stage Meridian Gathering Realm cultivation, dare to venture into this low-ranking Spiritual Rank area? Isn’t that reckless?”

Mo Qing looked displeased, and after speaking, glanced at the boy in rustic clothes next to her, secretly wondering why all his companions were so unconventional.

Just when Mo Qing turned her head, Yun Xiao had already strode forward, heading towards the plaza where Ling Wan was, prompting her to have a change of heart.

”At least you have some sense, go and advise that foolish boy Ling Wan not to overestimate himself!”

Mo Qing watched Yun Xiao’s back, muttering to herself while following him into that plaza, apparently thinking Yun Xiao also realized Ling Wan was being presumptuous and intended to persuade him to give up.

”Ling Wan!”

As Yun Xiao entered the plaza, he called out immediately, and now Ling Wan was trying to break through the Protective Light Shield, not like the previous Chang Qing who was afraid of being disturbed, so he had no reservations.

Hearing Yun Xiao’s call, Ling Wan trembled slightly and immediately turned around. However, his sweaty face showed his current embarrassment.

”Yun Xiao, brother, you came just in time, please help me!”

Upon seeing Yun Xiao, Ling Wan was overjoyed, rushing over and without further ado, pulled Yun Xiao towards the stone platform.

Yun Xiao, astute as ever, could tell without guessing that Ling Wan was stumped by the low-ranking Spiritual Rank Protective Light Shield. Even though Ling Wan possessed the Mixed Element One Qi Body, his cultivation was still only at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm, far from the Spiritual Rank Realm.

”Spiritual Rank Low Level Cultivation Technique: Qi Transformation Spirit Technique!”

Pulled by Ling Wan to the front of the stone platform, Yun Xiao immediately noticed a scroll within the light shield on the platform, the large characters on it stirring his heart.

”Eh? Qi Transformation Spirit Technique?”

Yun Xiao’s eyes brightened as he thought to himself that Ling Wan’s luck was indeed good. Even in his knowledge, there was no suitable Cultivation Technique for Ling Wan, but unexpectedly, they had encountered such a low-level Spiritual Rank technique here.

Although Yun Xiao did not know how powerful this so-called Qi Transformation Spirit Technique was, from the name alone, he understood that it likely had a strong controlling effect on Ling Wan’s Mixed Element Qi.

”Hehe, I also think this technique should be very useful for me, Yun Xiao brother, help me break this light shield!”

Receiving Yun Xiao’s praise, Ling Wan felt somewhat proud, but the next moment he scratched his head, clearly aware that after such a long time, he could not break this protective light shield.

”Hmm, step aside, let me try!”

Yun Xiao did not refuse Ling Wan’s request, considering him a brother. What’s the big deal in helping a brother?

Moreover, Yun Xiao had already seen the points needed to exchange for this Qi Transformation Spirit Technique, this technique worth three thousand points was only one thousand five hundred at half price, which he could still afford.

”Hey hey, what are you doing?”

Seeing the two of them about to attack the light shield after a few exchanges, Mo Qing, who was behind them, finally couldn’t stand it anymore. With a flash, she blocked the front of the stone platform light shield, preventing Yun Xiao’s subsequent actions.

”What are we doing? Of course, breaking this protective light shield to get the technique inside!”

Yun Xiao stared at the girl in black in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face. Wasn’t this simple matter obvious? This Inner Sect genius girl seemed a bit silly, always making a fuss about everything.

Ling Wan was simple and honest, Yun Xiao came from an extraordinary background, but little did they know that what seemed ordinary to them appeared incredibly unbelievable to Mo Qing and other normal geniuses.

”Yun Xiao, it’s fine for Ling Wan to be dull, but how can you also be so careless? Is a low-level Spiritual Rank technique something that only a practitioner at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm can cultivate?”

Mo Qing was very frustrated, utterly perplexed by their actions, and it was a very simple principle known to all cultivators.

The Meridian Qi Techniques are naturally divided into five ranks: Mortal Spirit, Earth, Sky, Saint. And the division of these five ranks of techniques has a very stringent system. Generally speaking, practitioners of the Third Realm of the Mortal Rank are not supposed to cultivate techniques above the level of Spiritual Rank.

Even if born in powers like the Jade Pot Sect or the Xuanyue Imperial Family, at the stages of Meridian Qi, Meridian Introduction Realm, and Meridian Gathering Realm, the techniques they could cultivate were at most of Mortal Rank Advanced.

Of course, techniques can be replaced, with the improvement of strength, one can switch to higher-tier techniques. To cultivate a Spiritual Rank technique, one must at least reach the Early Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, not merely the Late Stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm like Ling Wan.

In fact, on this continent, there are still some astonishingly talented individuals who can cultivate higher-tier techniques beyond their level. Once successful, their combat power would be far stronger than cultivators at the same level.

However, such things are not possible on the Hidden Dragon Continent. In the cultivation perspective of Mo Qing and others, a practitioner of the Third Realm of the Mortal Rank can only obediently cultivate Mortal Rank techniques. If you wish to cultivate Spiritual Rank techniques, you can only break through to the Meridian Rushing Realm.

”Sister Mo Qing, you worry too much, Ling Wan is not ordinary, this technique has no harm to him and is very important, please let us through!”

With a sharp mind, Yun Xiao instantly understood what Mo Qing was worried about—it was a kind-hearted concern, fearing that Ling Wan cultivating a higher-tier technique might lead to deviation. Thus, he spoke very politely.

As a reincarnation of the Long Xiao Battle God, Yun Xiao was not unaware of the disadvantages for a low-tier practitioner to cultivate high-tier techniques, but like him, Ling Ling was not an ordinary cultivator, but a rare Mixed Element One Qi Body even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

As mentioned earlier, some talented individuals could cultivate higher-tier techniques beyond their level. Possessing a Mixed Element One Qi Body, Ling Wan was undoubtedly within this category, so initially, Yun Xiao hadn’t realized this issue.

”You... are you serious?”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Mo Qing was somewhat skeptical; this contradicted the cultivation perspective she always held, making it hard for her to accept for a moment.

”Of course, I’m serious. Ling Wan is my brother, why would I harm him?”

Yun Xiao glanced at Ling Wan, and while speaking, for some reason, Mo Qing’s hesitation instantly vanished, and she stepped aside.

Back during the outer sect competition, it was because Ling Wan was poisoned by Shen Xiao through despicable means, and later when Yun Xiao confronted Shen Xiao, the latter ended up in a miserable state, unable even to cultivate Meridian Qi anymore. This showed that the relationship between Yun Xiao and Ling Wan had reached an exceedingly profound
