Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 252: 252 Spiritual Chick List

”Chang Qing, how are you doing with your practice of the Lightless Seal?”

For this cherished disciple of Elder Li Shan, Yun Xiao also had quite a good impression and greeted him before he asked.

”I have already mastered the Light Seals on both hands quite proficiently!”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s question, Chang Qing first showed joy, but upon catching Yun Xiao’s meaningful gaze, he spoke somewhat wistfully, ”However, the skill of concealing the light you mentioned, I just can’t manage to achieve it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Qing looked eagerly at Yun Xiao; knowing that his ability to cultivate the Lightless Seal, particularly on both sides, was all thanks to Yun Xiao’s guidance.

Now, Chang Qing had higher aspirations—the unlit superiority of the Lightless Seal was something Yun Xiao himself had told him, and he really wanted to consult on how to conceal the light within the light seal to reach the Great Achievement Realm.

”I can’t help you with this; you will need to figure it out on your own and practice diligently—practice makes perfect!”

Yun Xiao slightly shook his head; he knew the variations of the Lightless Seal well, but the extent to which one could cultivate depended on personal destiny, something no one else could assist with.

Since Yun Xiao and Chang Qing were speaking softly, the nearby Inner Sect Disciples did not hear their conversation, and who knows if their eyeballs would pop out if they knew what they were discussing?

Chang Qing is Elder Li Shan’s most proud disciple, feared to be among the top three among the young generation in the Medical Pulse, and such a veteran Inner Sect genius seeking guidance from Yun Xiao looked somewhat peculiar.

After all, Yun Xiao had only just broken through to the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage, so how could he guide a well-established Inner Sect genius?

Not getting the answer he hoped for, Chang Qing felt a bit disappointed, but he didn’t dwell on it much, knowing that what Yun Xiao said was reasonable, so he changed the subject directly.

”Junior Brother Yun Xiao, are you also here for that task?”

Chang Qing glanced at Yun Xiao’s position, thought of a possibility, and immediately asked, because this isn’t where one would wait to take on ordinary tasks.

”That task? Which task?”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao was confused; honestly, he didn’t really know what Bi Luo and Yin Huan and the others were waiting for, and after asking a question in return, he explained: ”Sister Mo Qing asked me to come here!”

”Sister Mo Qing? That makes sense!”

Chang Qing paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and said: ”This task is no small matter, and it might be tough to complete alone, so Sister Mo Qing needs to find some helpers.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao immediately understood that this Senior Brother Chang Qing must also have been called over by Mo Qing, and realizing this, he became extremely curious about the so-called task.

”Hehe, I wonder if the one who is ranked second on the Spiritual Chick List will come?”

Chang Qing scanned Bi Luo and Yin Huan nearby and let out a light laugh filled with cryptic meaning, while one term, in particular, caught Yun Xiao’s attention.

”Spiritual Chick List?”

To Yun Xiao, this name felt vaguely familiar; it seemed to be a special ranking within the Inner Sect of the Jade Pot Sect, but he wasn’t clear on the specific rankings.

”There’s the Mortal List in the Outer Sect, so naturally there’s the Spiritual Chick List within the Inner Sect. However, unlike the Mortal List which covers many, the Spiritual Chick List only includes the top ten genius disciples of the Inner Sect!”

Chang Qing knew that Yun Xiao had just joined the Inner Sect and didn’t understand these details, so he took the opportunity to explain, which helped Yun Xiao instantly understand the significance of the Spiritual Chick List.

This must be a list similar to the Mortal List in the Outer Sect, a fiercely contested ranking by the young generation of the Jade Pot Sect Inner Sect, like the current Chang Qing and the Poison Vein’s Second Senior Brother Bi Luo not far away, definitely included in it.

However, as for the specific rankings of these young geniuses, Yun Xiao did not know, he shifted his gaze and asked: ”Who is the second-ranked person on the Spiritual Chick List you just mentioned?”

”Yue Qi, ranked second on the Spiritual Chick List, the big senior brother in the Poison Vein, his Meridian Qi Cultivation and Meridian Refining Technique are only second to Sister Mo Qing, truly a rare and outstanding talent!”

As Chang Qing said this, a trace of solemnity also crossed his face; knowing his own cultivation was also not low, and a young genius that even he regarded with caution must be extraordinary.

”Plus, it’s been said that Yue Qi has been in closed-door cultivation for several months now, no one knows if his strength might surpass Sister Mo Qing when he comes out,” Chang Qing remarked thoughtfully, seeming deeply aware of the fearsome nature of the big senior brother of the Poison Vein.

”Yue Qi!”

This was the first time Yun Xiao had heard this name. Previously, he only knew that there was another senior brother in the Poison Vein who was far stronger than Bi Luo, and now it seemed that it was this man named Yue Qi.

Yun Xiao had never had any fondness for the Poison Vein sect, and he knew that Yue Qi was also a disciple of Fu Du. As the saying goes, ’like master, like disciple.’ From seeing the maliciousness of Bi Luo and Yin Huan, it was evident what kind of character Yue Qi was.

However, even Yun Xiao, who now might not be able to stand against even Yin Huan, would probably not last a single move against this senior brother from the Poison Vein sect who was not inferior to Mo Qing. Such is the gap brought by strength differences.

”Mo Qing has arrived!”

While Yun Xiao was contemplating, Chang Qing by his side had already spotted a man and a woman entering through the hall door; the one in a black graceful form was none other than the number one prodigy girl of Medical Pulse: Mo Qing!

As for the slightly effeminate young man beside Mo Qing, he was Xue Gong’s other proud disciple, Lu Zhan. How could he miss such a lively occasion? Especially when it was something Mo Qing was interested in.

Mo Qing, who had just entered the hall, completely ignored Xue Gong, who was by her side trying to please her. Her beautiful eyes shifted and soon located Yun Xiao and Chang Qing. Without any hesitation, she walked directly towards them.

Mo Qing’s arrival naturally stirred a flurry of discussions in the Task Hall. Those who were initially unaware of the situation faintly felt that something major was going to happen in the Task Hall today.

And when everyone saw Mo Qing walk straight up to Yun Xiao without a word, a peculiar feeling surged in their hearts. Could it be that this rising young man had a connection with this top figure of the Inner Sect youth?

On the other hand, figures like Bi Luo and Yin Huan all had rather unsightly expressions. No matter how much disdain or disregard they had for Yun Xiao, when they faced Mo Qing, their spirit was instantly suppressed.

Among the younger generation of the Inner Sect of Jade Pot Sect, apart from that senior brother of the Poison Vein sect, no one dared to claim they were Mo Qing’s match. If Yun Xiao really did have Mo Qing’s protection, then they would have to think twice before making a move against him.

”This little bastard, why is his luck so good?”

The Third Prince’s eyes flashed with jealousy and unwillingness. If it wasn’t for Mo Qing’s sudden appearance that night, Yun Xiao might have been dead by now, which was intensely frustrating and suffocating for him.

While Mo Qing approached Yun Xiao, she glanced at Chang Qing and spoke, ”I had Chang Qing bring you to the Task Hall, did he tell you why?”

”He did mention it, but I still don’t know what the task actually is!”

Yun Xiao nodded and voiced his question, curious about what made this task so coveted by nearly all the talents on the Spiritual Chick List from both Medical and Poison sects.

”A Spiritual Rank Intermediate task, to explore the Meridian Treasure of a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master!”

Mo Qing didn’t hide anything. However, after this conversation, the silent Xue Gong finally sensed something and his expression turned slightly unsightly.

”Sister Mo Qing, you’re not thinking of letting Yun Xiao join us, are you? His cultivation is a bit too lacking!”

It seemed Xue Gong had figured something out and he sarcastically interjected, his words directly downplaying Yun Xiao’s capabilities, implying he wasn’t worthy to join their ranks.

”Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t be in any trouble!”

Mo Qing did not explain why she wanted Yun Xiao to join, as that would be too complicated to delve into. With her words, Xue Gong only felt more uncomfortable; the more he looked at Yun Xiao, the more displeased he became.

”Sister, the task involves a Meridian Treasure of Spiritual Rank Intermediate, where a Fifth Rank Vein Demon might appear. When we struggle to protect ourselves, who can spare the effort to protect him?”

Over and over, Xue Gong emitted that Yun Xiao’s strength wasn’t enough to join them in searching for a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Treasure. He couldn’t understand why Mo Qing insisted on bringing Yun Xiao along like a burden.

In fact, the biggest reason Xue Gong was acting this way toward Yun Xiao was because he subconsciously felt Mo Qing’s unusual interest in this young man. From the outer sect competition, Mo Qing seemed to treat Yun Xiao differently.

Before Mo Qing joined the Inner Sect, Xue Gong had always been the number one prodigy of the Medical Pulse in the Inner Sect. Even though Mo Qing had taken the first place from him, due to her exceptional talent, he had developed some peculiar feelings for her.

In Xue Gong’s view, in the entire Jade Pot Sect, only he was worthy of a talent like Mo Qing. Even if the senior brother from the Poison Vein sect was stronger than him, how could Mo Qing possibly be with a Poison Vein Master?

However, after Yun Xiao appeared, Xue Gong developed a deep sense of crisis. Even though Yun Xiao, whether in Meridian Qi Cultivation or Meridian Refining Technique, was far inferior to him, he just couldn’t stand this youngster and was always thinking about suppressing or ridiculing him.

”There’s no need for Xue Gong to worry about that, I don’t need anyone else’s protection!”

Seeing this hypocrite becoming more and more aggressive, almost to the point of arrogance, Yun Xiao finally couldn’t restrain himself and coldly spoke out, causing Xue Gong’s expression to instantly darken like dripping water.
