Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 552: 552 Isn’t this a good thing?

Fu Du and Mo Li were obviously jealous. This time, at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, it was the talents from the Medical Pulse who had stolen the spotlight while their Poison Vein lacked even the qualifications to participate, not to mention they were utterly humiliated by Yun Xiao. It would be odd if they could feel happy about it.

However, as he listened to Lu Zhan speaking, Fu Du’s gaze occasionally darted towards a certain silent courtyard, it was hard to tell what was going through his mind.

”Yun Xiao, do you think I should join the Meridian Refining Master Association?”

After Lu Zhan finished speaking, Mo Qing stared at Yun Xiao with her beautiful eyes without blinking. Frankly, she was quite undecided, or perhaps she wanted to follow Yun Xiao all the time but was too embarrassed to say it.

If Yun Xiao had not previously refused the invitation from the Meridian Refining Master Association, such an opportunity would have left neither Mo Qing nor the elders of the Jade Pot Sect hesitant.

Wasn’t the purpose of participating in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference to be noticed by major sects and powers of the Tenglong Continent? Previous champions of the conference often went unwanted, and if they were wanted, it was only by lower-ranking powers like Impermanence Island or Firewood Valley.

Moreover, Mo Qing herself was a Meridian Refining Master, and her Power of Soul had recently advanced to Low Level Spiritual Rank, making her a genuine Low Level Spirit-grade Pulse Refining Master. Her Meridian Refining Talent was hardly inferior to Crown Prince Nie Qianqiu of the Lingtian Empire.

But whether it was the elders of the Jade Pot Sect or Mo Qing herself, they hesitated upon receiving the invitation from Vice Chairman Qian, and naturally, the hesitation was due to Yun Xiao, or perhaps due to Yun Xiao’s sister, Yun Wei.

In the eyes of these powerful individuals from the Jade Pot Sect, Yun Xiao likely refused the invitation from the Xuanyin Hall and Meridian Refining Master Association because of the significant backing of Yun Wei.

In the presence of a Heavenly Rank Expert, possibly with even stronger backers, what would a small Meridian Refining Master Association or Xuanyin Hall from the Tenglong Continent amount to?

”Isn’t this a good thing? Sister Mo Qing, you are already a Pulse Refiner, joining the Meridian Refining Master Association would be like a fish entering water!”

As everyone was lost in their various thoughts, Yun Xiao looked up with a strange expression, seeming somewhat bewildered. With such a favorable matter at hand, why the hesitation?

Yun Xiao himself did not agree to join the Meridian Refining Master Association because in his past life he was the Long Xiao Battle God, and hence his perspective was different. However, he could not fathom why these talents from the Hidden Dragon Continent would think this way.

”Is that so?”

Getting the answer she wanted, Mo Qing felt inexplicably melancholy. If she joined the Meridian Refining Master Guild, she feared she would soon have to part ways with Yun Xiao.

”Big brother Yun Xiao, there’s also me. Miss Xue wants me to join the Xuanyin Hall but I want to stay with you!”

Ling Wan didn’t have as many concerns as Mo Qing, first calling out excitedly and then showing a melancholic expression. To him, it didn’t matter which power he joined, as long as he could stay with Yun Xiao.

”Heh, my two disciples are really promising!”

Thinking back on how Miss Xue personally visited yesterday wanting to recruit Ling Wan into the Xuanyin Hall, Great Elder Lu Zhan was still excited. After he spoke, the expressions on Fu Du and Mo Li’s faces turned even uglier.

It should be noted that both Mo Qing and Ling Wan were disciples of Lu Zhan, whom Fu Du had wanted to snatch but had failed. Now, to his surprise, both were noticed by the top powers of the Tenglong Continent.

”Hey, that Miss Xue sure is quick-witted!”

Hearing Ling Wan’s words, Yun Xiao already had some thoughts. It seems Miss Xue Ningxiang, failing to win him over, had to settle for recruiting Ling Wan into the Xuanyin Hall.

Miss Xue must have investigated Yun Xiao’s situation during this time, knowing Ling Wan was his best buddy. By winning over Ling Wan, she hoped that Yun Xiao could not ignore her Innate Pulse Cutting sequelae later.

”Why follow me? This kind of opportunity comes once in a blue moon. Don’t miss it!”

Yun Xiao, who already considered Ling Wan as a true brother, was somewhat frustrated. His own situation was special, but for Mo Qing and Ling Wan, this was definitely a great opportunity.

At the very least, it was much better than staying in the Jade Pot Sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent. The nature’s spiritual energy, cultivation methods, or cultivation resources of Tenglong Continent were far superior to those of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Moreover, whether it’s the Meridian Refining Master Association or Xuanyin Hall, both are among the top leading powers of the Tenglong Continent. In such powerful sects, safety was also guaranteed to a great extent.

”Oh, then I’ll agree to her!”

Although reluctant to part with Yun Xiao, Mo Qingling knew that the Big Brother was speaking sensibly, and moreover, Mo Qingling knew that if they stayed within the confines of the Jade Pot Sect, before long, he wouldn’t even be able to see Yun Xiao’s shadow anymore.

Mo Qing, standing beside, also thought of this issue; having witnessed Yun Xiao’s talent and combat power, she clearly understood that without some fortunate opportunity, she would only drift further apart from Yun Xiao, which she absolutely did not want to see.

”Alright, let’s decide on that!”

Seeing Yun Xiao strongly supporting this, Yu Shu finally confirmed the matter. Moreover, Mo Qingling and Mo Qing joining Xuanyin Hall and Meridian Refining Master Association meant that the status of the Jade Pot Sect would naturally rise dramatically, becoming the number one sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent was just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Yu Shu couldn’t help but turn his gaze back to Yun Xiao, because he knew that the fortunes of Mo Qing and Mo Qingling were largely brought by Yun Xiao.

Had it not been for Yun Xiao winning the championship at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, had it not been for Yun Xiao having a sister who is a Heavenly Rank Expert, how could two unknown talents from the Jade Pot Sect attract the attention of the two top powers of the Tenglong Continent?

”By the way, Yun Xiao, the Jade Pot Courtyard has been bustling these past two days. Moreover, many strong leaders from powerful empires and sects want to meet you, what do you think?”

As he said this, there was a hint of pride in Yu Shu’s tone, knowing that although the Jade Pot Sect was already a major sect, it had never received such treatment before, and all this was brought by Yun Xiao.

Not to mention Yun Xiao winning the Hidden Dragon Conference, gaining the attention and competition from many powers across the Tenglong Continent, his sister Yun Wei is also unfathomably deep—who wouldn’t want to curry favor with her?

Yu Shu mentioned this lightly, perhaps only Su He, the sixth elder responsible for reception duties beside him, really knew just how many wanted to forge a connection with Yun Xiao.

In these two days, the threshold of the Jade Pot Courtyard was nearly trampled, not to mention these sect elders, even some inner sect disciples of the Jade Pot Sect who stepped out of the courtyard received royal-level treatments.

Many leaders from weaker empires were aware that given their own status, they might not even get a chance to see Yun Xiao or even enter the doors of the Jade Pot Courtyard, so they had to seek the next best thing.

Suddenly, countless inner sect disciples of the Jade Pot Sect became highly sought after, especially those who were on good terms with Yun Xiao like Tan Yun, Song Tian, Chang Qing, and others, who barely even had time to sleep or cultivate, greeting waves of visitors.

Among these, there were even many who had reached the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm. These originally influential figures on the Hidden Dragon Continent knew that their own cultivation meant nothing in front of a Heavenly Rank Expert and thus put aside their pride and status.

Regarding this situation, the people of the Jade Pot Sect were rather fed up, but without the instructions from Yun Wei and her brother, even Yu Shu dared not easily let people in here; how could they risk angering that Heavenly Rank Expert?

”These matters, let the teachers and elders handle it, I need to consolidate my improved cultivation further, and tomorrow we can all visit the Meridian Refining Master Guild together!”

Yun Xiao naturally would not waste his time on social interactions; hadn’t he been reluctant when Qian Sanyuan and Xue Ningxiang personally visited, let alone those cultivators from the Hidden Dragon Continent?

”Alright!”

Yu Shu, who already expected this answer, didn’t say much. Now, Yun Xiao was a treasure of the Jade Pot Sect, probably even more important in those young disciples’ hearts than him, the Sect Master.

Following that, Yun Xiao returned to his room, while Yu Shu and the others were extremely busy; amid such hustle, a day and a night passed quickly.

...

When the morning sun shone down the next day, the recently quiet Xuanyue Imperial City Baiyue City seemed to come alive again.

The grand event of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference had ended, but today there was yet another grand event, albeit this one could only be attended by Meridian Refining Masters. For ordinary cultivators, even someone like Xuan Haoran, the ruler of a country, might not qualify.

The news of Vice Chairman Qian from the Meridian Refining Master Guild of Tenglong Continent publicly demonstrating the Meridian Refining Technique had already spread to every corner of Baiyue City.

This naturally thrilled Meridian Refining Masters of all ranks while ordinary cultivators showed signs of dejection; such an observational opportunity was not always available.

A Earth Rank Advanced cultivator at the peak, that Meridian Refining Technique was probably unheard of in the entire Hidden Dragon Continent; even learning a slight technique or an occasional inspiration could greatly benefit those Mortal and Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Masters for a lifetime.

Thus, in front of the Meridian Refining Master Guild in the west of Baiyue City, the crowd was already swelling, even though becoming a Meridian Refining Master was one in a thousand, but with a large base number, there were still over a thousand Meridian Refining Masters in Baiyue City.

Of course, among these thousand Meridian Refining Masters, the vast majority were Mortal Rank Meridian Refining Masters. In fact, breaking through in Meridian Refining was much harder than in Meridian Qi Cultivation, and making a major breakthrough was even tougher.

So, young talents like Mo Qing and Nie Qianqiu breaking through to Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master were already extremely rare throughout the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, not to mention someone like Yun Xiao, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master, who was truly rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
