Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Did the Chairman ask that guy to make a move?”

In the minds of these elders from the Meridian Refining Master Guild, such a thought arose, because although they were far away, they only saw the conversation between Lu Liancheng and Yun Xiao, and didn’t know what was discussed.

Even without knowing the conversation’s content, everyone was aware of Liang Li’s condition, the inexplicable coma, which even the Chairman was powerless against. He had no choice but to ask everyone for ideas, hoping someone may have encountered such symptoms before.

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone somewhat understood the Chairman’s intention. After all, Yun Xing showed outstanding performance previously, especially with the recent patient, almost causing Lu Liancheng to capsize. This indicated he had some unique means in healing.

”But Elder Liang Li is a Poison Vein Master, isn’t he afraid of bringing harm upon himself?”

One of the elders looked somewhat respectfully at the Second Elder sitting in a certain chair, and what he said made everyone ponder. The philosophies of the Medical and Poison branches were always different, although they belonged to the same Meridian Refining Master Guild, their relationship wasn’t good.

This was evident in the relationship between the Medical and Poison branches of Jade Pot Sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent. Generally, the means of the Poison Vein branch were more intimidating, while those of the Medical Pulse branch leaned towards persuasion by virtue.

If a Medical Pulse Master who hadn’t studied the Poison Meridian Skill rashly attempted to rescue a Poison Vein Master at the Earth Rank level, the outcome would be unpredictable.

”Don’t worry, since it’s the Chairman’s request, I will ensure his life!”

The Second Elder was the chief Poison Vein Master of the Lushan City Meridian Refining Master Guild, and his mastery was far superior to Liang Li’s, even though he hadn’t reached Earth Rank Middle Level, he was still respected and avoided by all within Lushan City.

Under the varied gazes of the elders and onlookers, Yun Xiao finally arrived at the wooden platform, which was now deserted.

”Hmph, this guy doesn’t know his limits, better be poisoned to death by Elder Liang Li’s venom!”

Liu Yu from the Liu Family fixed his malicious gaze on Yun Xing, muttering curses. His hatred was intense, and the chances of his curse being realized seemed not small.

Liu Yu himself wasn’t a Poison Vein Master, so although he enjoyed maneuvering, he didn’t choose the Guild’s Fifth Elder Liang Li first; even though succeeding would have earned the Guild’s favor.

The saying ”a wise man keeps away from perilous walls” applies; with no absolute assurance, even a proud Liu Yu wouldn’t risk his life and status. A single mistake, and even with the Guild elders’ timely intervention, his cultivation could be severely impacted.

Actually, most of the meridian masters who came to see Liang Li earlier were Poison Vein Masters; if they were Medical Pulse Masters, they wouldn’t even dare to touch him, let alone attempt to rescue him.

The techniques Yun Xiao displayed earlier leaned more towards the Medical Pulse branch, causing many, fueled by jealousy, to share Liu Yu’s thoughts. Yun Xiao’s prominence today has stirred envy.

Yun Xiao wasn’t bogged down by such concerns. He accepted to intervene, not because of Lu Liancheng’s assistance, but because something within Elder Liang Li intrigued him.

”Tsk tsk, I never thought I would encounter the rare Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, not only on the Hidden Dragon Continent but also here on Tenglong Continent.”

Just upon approaching Liang Li, Yun Xiao felt something within him stir, a wisp of cold air emerged faintly from his left fingertips.

Actually, from the moment he noticed Liang Li’s condition, Yun Xiao had speculated that this Fifth Elder of Lushan City Meridian Refining Master Guild, like the Jade Pot Sect’s Second Elder Fu Du before, accidentally discovered the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

The Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is an extreme cold creature. Previously, without Yun Xiao’s immunity to a hundred poisons, which absorbed most of the Toad’s icy power, Fu Du’s fate would have been being frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture.

This Fifth Elder named Liang Li, who was indeed far stronger than Fu Du ever was, likely confronted a Toad more formidable than the one on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Who knows what method Liang Li used to seal the Toad’s icy Qi within his body, only for it to erupt and corrode his organs unexpectedly. Despite his strong Meridian Qi Cultivation, he faced the threat of gradually being frozen to death.

At this moment, the icy Qi, even while Liang Li was unconscious, was suppressed by his subconscious to prevent a total outburst. But eventually, Liang Li would reach a breaking point.

Without external intervention, relying solely on his subconscious suppression of the cold Qi would lead to his demise. Thus, Yun Xiao’s intervention now is indeed saving Liang Li’s life.

The reason Yun Xiao took action was precisely because he discovered that the one causing Liang Li’s coma was the exotic Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, and at this moment, he had a Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Vein Spirit within him.

At the Spirit Fighting Conference, Yun Xiao even used this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Vein Spirit to defeat many seventh-rank vein spirits, but in any case, the grade of this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was only sixth-rank advanced.

It was because the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was an exotic species on the continent, coupled with the power of the Ice Cold Ancestral Vein in Yun Xiao’s left arm, that it could unleash power comparable to a seventh-rank vein spirit.

However, due to the insufficient grade of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Yun Xiao did not rely too much on this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad in subsequent battles. Compared to other means, it was somewhat lacking.

As mentioned before, vein spirits can evolve, especially when one finds vein demons matching their own attribute, refine them again, and then produce a special evolution for their vein spirit.

Just like back in Yujiang City when that foster son of the Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Xuantian, hunted the Spotted Bamboo Leopard just to evolve his vein spirit to six-rank advanced.

The Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is an exotic species, and its Ice Cold Power might be considered outstanding across the entire Nine Dragons Continent. Finding something to evolve it is not that easy.

Some ordinary ice cold vein demons are of no significant help for the evolution of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad until today, until Yun Xiao sensed something in the body of the Fifth Elder of the Meridian Refining Master Guild.

The calm displayed by Yun Xiao just now was actually a facade, intending to make Lu Liancheng ask him for help first. This way, he could present some conditions, laying the groundwork for possible future events.

Due to past interactions with many Poison Vein Masters at the Jade Pot Sect and his understanding of high-rank Poison Vein Masters from his past life, Yun Xiao wouldn’t think that just because he saved the other’s life, they wouldn’t possibly turn on him.

Sometimes the despicable side of human nature can change due to the preciousness of certain things. At least, for Fifth Elder Liang Li before him, perhaps the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is such an inseparable treasure.

But since there is this opportunity to evolve the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Yun Xiao would never pass it by. Missing this chance might mean it’s unknown when he could find another Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

Fortunately, Liang Li at this moment, due to the invasion of the Ice Cold Power from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, had fallen into a coma, allowing Yun Xiao to manipulate everything without much trouble.

Yun Xiao placed his left hand on Liang Li’s wrist, then a wisp of Ice Cold Qi emanated, making those nearby sense the sudden burst of coldness on these two, now pondering deeply.

Honestly, the Ice Cold Qi in Liang Li’s body might not be unnoticed by an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master like Lu Liancheng, but sensing it is one thing, identifying the cause to awaken it is another.

The Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is an extremely formidable vein demon. Yun Xiao speculated that when Liang Li tried to erase its spiritual wisdom and refine it into his vein spirit, he suffered a backlash, combined with inadequate control over the Ice Cold Qi, leading to his coma.

What Yun Xiao needed to do now was to find the place where the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was hidden within Liang Li’s body, then extract it. Without its support, the Ice Cold Qi might not be so hard to resolve for someone at Liang Li’s Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage cultivation.

”This guy is really well hidden!”

A thread of Yun Xiao’s meridian qi continuously flowed within Liang Li’s body. About fifteen minutes passed, his body unmoving, and while the spectators found this strange, he couldn’t help but sigh internally.

”But in the hands of me, Long Xiao Battle God, do you still think you can hide forever?”

At this moment, the arrogance that belonged to Yun Xiao’s past life as Long Xiao Battle God erupted, and the Ice Cold Qi in Liang Li’s body suddenly became chaotic as if threatened.

The mutation of the Ice Cold Qi caused Liang Li’s entire body to tremble. Seeing this, many elders of the Meridian Refining Master Guild, including Lu Liancheng, showed joy on their faces.

Previously, no matter what they tried, Liang Li, apart from his breath still stable, was like a living dead, with no movement in any part of his body.

No matter the reason for Liang Li’s body’s trembling at the moment, at least that it showed some activity meant that Yun Xing’s methods were much more superior than theirs.

”Here it is? Still trying to escape?”
