Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 519: 519 Poison Fire Ancestor Vein

”This aura...”

On the high platform, various magnates of Tenglong Continent had different emotions, especially Vice President Qian Sanyuan of the Meridian Refining Association. His eyes were fixed on Liu Hanyi, seemingly discovering some clues.

Because at this moment, Liu Hanyi was emitting a weird aura from her body, and this aura seemed similar to something Qian Sanyuan had seen before.

”Could it be... the Poison Fire Ancestor Vein?!”

This thought popped into Qian Sanyuan’s mind, and the next moment, he sensed an intense and unique energy bursting out from Liu Hanyi, which made his guess even stronger.

The so-called Poison Fire Ancestor Vein is a special mutation that occurs when activating the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein, giving this vein an additional deadly poisonous attribute.

Qian Sanyuan had once seen a Meridian Refining Master with a Poison Fire Ancestor Vein on Tenglong Continent, who was hailed as the top Poison Vein Master in Tenglong Continent, unparalleled in the art of Poison Vein.

For some reason, seeing Liu Hanyi breaking through at this moment, Qian Sanyuan felt that this Meridian Refining Master’s Poison Fire Ancestor Vein was not as terrifying as the young girl below.

”Poison Fire Vein!”

While Qian Sanyuan was in shock and doubt, Yun Xiao, closest to Liu Hanyi and with the knowledge of a Long Xiao Battle God, had already confirmed her condition and was both surprised and delighted.

Compared to Qian Sanyuan of Tenglong Continent, Yun Xiao in his previous life in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud had indeed seen more of these Poison Fire Ancestor Veins, and each of those cultivators was a formidable being who could call the wind and summon the rain in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

The Poison Fire Ancestor Vein is hard to come by, and after being reborn, Yun Xiao knew that Liu Hanyi’s Poison Fire Ancestor Vein was much more powerful than those in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, and he was more certain of this than Qian Sanyuan.

Because the Poison Fire Ancestor Veins in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud are generally formed through special methods and not innately like Liu Hanyi’s through her Immortal Fetus Poison Vein.

For instance, a high-rank Poison Vein Master usually possesses a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein. Through long-term contact with highly poisonous substances, it’s possible to mutate their Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein into a Poison Fire Ancestor Vein.

Or similarly, this powerful Poison Vein Master, getting lucky in hunting a venomous Fire Attribute Vein Demon, refining its lifebound fire for his own use, also has a certain chance to mutate his Ancestor Vein’s fire.

Like the initial Fu Du, since he had refined a Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad as his Meridian Spirit, it resulted in him possessing a strong chilling poison, making him extremely dangerous and unpredictable when confronting enemies.

And Liu Hanyi was not originally a Meridian Refining Master, so she lacked even a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein. This time, through misfortune turned fortunate, was struck by Jin Wuli’s powerful force in her lower abdomen, and also due to some manipulations by Yun Xiao, she luckily activated her Immortal Poison Body.

Unexpectedly, her first real activation of the Immortal Poison Body led her to possess a Poison Fire Ancestor Vein, a true innate Poison Fire Ancestor Vein, which has a much greater potential for growth than those acquired through mutations.

Given time, if Liu Hanyi could be apprenticed to a powerful Poison Vein Master, she will undoubtedly become a fearsome Poison Vein Master, even more terrifying than those Poison Fire Ancestor Vein possessors in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

However, apart from Yun Xiao and Qian Sanyuan, the cultivators from the Hidden Dragon Continent, even those like Yu Shu, an advanced peak Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master, did not realize the uniqueness and power of the so-called Poison Fire Ancestor Vein because such veins are exceedingly rare in the Hidden Dragon Continent.

It can be said that although Liu Hanyi was defeated this time, due to Yun Xiao’s intervention, the advantages she gained might even surpass winning the championship of the Hidden Dragon Conference.

Breaking through to the Peak of the Meridian Union Realm, no one in the arena would think anymore that Liu Hanyi lacked the qualifications to compete for the championship, and the potential Poison Fire Ancestor Vein makes her future limitless.

”Sigh...”

Approximately thirty minutes later, Liu Hanyi’s breakthrough and activation of the Ancestor Vein were finally complete. As she stood up and let out a long breath of turbid air, her pretty face still seemed a bit bewildered.

”How did my injuries heal? Eh? My cultivation...”

The first thing Liu Hanyi noticed was her previously severe injuries. She vividly remembered being kicked in the lower abdomen by Jin Wuli. Although she eventually followed Yun Xiao’s voice and circulated her Meridian Qi, she really wasn’t sure of the outcome.

But now, apart from a slight pain in her neck, her entire body was brimming with energy, showing no signs of a damaged Dantian.

”Peak of Meridian Union Realm!”

However, the next moment, Liu Hanyi sensed a rise in her Meridian Qi Cultivation. Immediately extending her right hand, a hint of greenish flame appeared out of nowhere on her right palm.

”Is this... a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein?!”

Even Liu Hanyi herself could hardly believe her own eyes as she watched the unfamiliar green flame, combined with a special sensing from a certain meridian within her body, she felt as if she was living in a dream.

”Hanyi... Hanyi has... activated the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein?”

Outside the square, Jia Yi of the Luoyi Sect was faced with disbelief, the words she uttered were also filled with intense doubt, because she knew what activating the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein truly meant.

On the Continent, the most prestigious profession is undoubtedly the Meridian Refining Master, but it’s precisely because of the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein that needs to be activated, many astonishing talents are blocked out of this threshold.

Liu Hanyi of the Luoyi Sect and Mo Qing of the Jade Pot Sect have been hailed as the two most talented young ladies of the Xuanyue Empire, but because Mo Qing is a meridian refining prodigy, Liu Hanyi always felt somewhat inferior whenever these two are mentioned.

Although the relationship between the two sects did not make this a big issue, there still remains some regrets in the heart of Teacher Jia Yi.

However, now, the green flame in Liu Hanyi’s hand, manipulating it as freely as a lively flame spirit, if it is not the genuine Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein, then what else could it be?

”It really is the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein!”

Hearing Jia Yi’s words, an elderly woman beside her nodded repeatedly; this person was no ordinary one, but the head Meridian Refining Master of the Luoyi Sect and also the Great Elder of the Luoyi Sect, usually quirky and not fond of talking too much or dealing with others.

Yet now, seeing the Ancestral Vein Fire in Liu Hanyi’s possession, even this usually stern Great Elder of the Luoyi Sect got exceptionally excited, indicating how important a refining genius is to a sect.

Of course, while some rejoice, others mourn, such as the Qingshan Sect, who is always jealous of others, their expressions, including that of Li Yue and others, were quite ugly now.

Especially Qingshan Sect’s top genius, Li Yue, who couldn’t even make it into the top thousand of this session’s Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, and the main culprit behind this was Yun Xiao.

Now because of Yun Xiao, Liu Hanyi, who was originally at the same level, has achieved a breakthrough, doesn’t this mean that Li Yue’s name as a genius in the Xuanyue Empire is going to be lowered again?

Compared to these eliminated geniuses, the Xuanyue Crown Prince, Xuan Jiuding, had a hint of unusual light in his eyes. Even with great confidence in his own abilities, he dared not claim he could definitely defeat the peak Meridian Union Realm Liu Hanyi.

Fortunately, although Liu Hanyi had achieved a breakthrough, she was knocked out of the ring by Jin Wuli, and this quarterfinal battle ultimately ended in loss for this genius girl from Luoyi Sect.

But the expressions of everyone became extremely strange, comparing Liu Hanyi below the arena and Jin Wuli above the arena, they found that Liu Hanyi seemed more like the victor.

After all, while Jin Wuli’s face was sour, Liu Hanyi below sported a smile, thanking Yun Xiao, their expressions starkly different. If there was someone who hadn’t watched the battle earlier, they might think Liu Hanyi was the ultimate victor.

”Yun Xiao, you’ve helped me greatly time and again, I truly don’t know how I can ever repay you!”

Liu Hanyi’s gaze at Yun Xiao was filled with gratitude and a tinge of warmth, and after these words, it was almost like she would ”devote herself to him,” causing a bit of embarrassment for Yun Xiao.

”Helping each other between friends is natural, moreover, I also somewhat disliked that guy’s arrogant demeanor!”

Yun Xiao rubbed his nose, swiftly changing the topic, as he knew this elder sister from Luoyi Sect was whimsically tricky and sometimes spoke without a filter, continuing this topic might lead to bizarre talks.

Sure enough, those words made Liu Hanyi’s pretty face show frost, as she glared at Jin Wuli slowly leaving the ring step by step, bitterly saying, ”I’ll get back at you one day for this debt!”

”Hey, perhaps I can avenge Elder Sister Hanyi tomorrow!”

Seeing Liu Hanyi no longer speaking those strange words, Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but his words just landed, and he felt something amiss, why did he bring the topic back again?

”Yun Xiao, I’ve decided, as long as you can avenge this great injustice for me, whatever you want the elder sister to do, I’ll do it!”

Liu Hanyi’s eyes flicked, her words sounded righteously imposing, yet there was an underlying sentiment that felt somewhat off, it was at this moment, Mo Qing with slightly unnatural facial expression walked over.

”Elder Sister Hanyi, congratulations!”

Mo Qing’s congratulating voice sounded natural, but both Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi could hear a hint of grudging tone in it, especially the latter, even with a thick skin, blushed at this moment.

Liu Hanyi had previously told Mo Qing that she was not interested in Yun Xiao, but the teasing language now seemed to expose some deep feelings inside her heart.

A girl’s thoughts are extremely sensitive, even if Liu Hanyi didn’t show it too obviously, Mo Qing’s words still contained a hint of a reminder, making the place extremely silent for a moment.
