Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Young Master Yun Xiao, actually... that... this Heavenly Vine Flower, it...”

Thinking of this, the stall owner suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. His stammering words hinted to everyone that he meant the Heavenly Vine Flower was fake, not genuine.

”You think I can’t tell?”

Yun Xiao glanced at the stall owner with a half-smile, and his words made the latter’s face turn even redder. He suddenly felt that he couldn’t see through this rough-clothed young man at all.

”Heal you, and it belongs to me. If you don’t agree, I’ll turn around and leave!”

Yun Xiao wouldn’t delve into deeper reasons, and upon saying this, he made a motion as if to retract his hand, which immediately frightened the stall owner into a panic.

”Yes, yes, it’s yours, it’s yours, Young Master Yun Xiao, please don’t scare me!”

The stall owner was really afraid of this unpredictable young man now. He was truly worried that Yun Xiao would walk away, and he would have nowhere else to find someone to save his life.

”Haha, the boss is really straightforward!”

In the end, Yun Xiao didn’t retract his right hand. After about fifteen minutes, the obscure silver thread on the stall owner’s body had retracted from his chest to his wrist and finally disappeared, appearing extremely mysterious.

”It’s... really gone?!”

Not far away, Lu Zhang raised his hand to look at the silver thread, which was already several inches long on his wrist, murmuring to himself as if it contained a special meaning.

It’s worth noting that Lu Zhang, who could attend the selection test of Lianyun Mountain, was himself a Meridian Refining Master who had reached the Earth-rank level. However, he had secretly used several methods just now, but was helpless against the silver thread, driving him mad.

Of course, for someone like Lu Zhang to now ask Yun Xiao to resolve the Hidden Thunder Poison, it wasn’t just about whether the latter would help; his pride wouldn’t allow him to lower himself like that under any circumstances.

In Lu Zhang’s view, in such a vast Lianyun Mountain, there must be someone who could solve the poison and even if the Medical Pulse Masters of the Heavenly Hospital couldn’t, there were still the Poison Vein Masters of the Sky Poison Institute. Yun Xiao wasn’t the only one capable of detoxification in this world.

When the silver thread on the stall owner’s body completely disappeared, everyone knew this matter was coming to an end. The two parties ultimately wouldn’t clash, especially as this was the venue of the Meridian Refining Master Association, Lianyun Mountain.

”Now, it’s mine, right?”

Yun Xiao shook the fake Heavenly Vine Flower in his hand, looked at the stall owner with a half-smile, and then even turned to glance at the two geniuses of Sky Thunder Valley, his tone carrying an alternative mockery.

”Hmph!”

At this moment, Xu Changgui no longer had the mood to linger here. After a cold snort, he took Lu Zhang away. Yun Xiao didn’t care too much about it; getting hold of this fake Heavenly Vine Flower was most important.

In fact, if Xu Changgui and Lu Zhang hadn’t come to make trouble this time, Yun Xiao might have had to spend a large sum of money to get this fake Heavenly Vine Flower, like the two million gold coins Xu Changgui spent earlier.

From this perspective, not only did the two great geniuses of Sky Thunder Valley not cause trouble for Yun Xiao, but they also saved him a considerable amount of money, really helping out significantly.

The stall owner wasn’t like some people back then. After Yun Xiao spoke, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then the latter directly stored the fake Heavenly Vine Flower into his Waist Storage and leisurely disappeared from the place.

It’s just that people didn’t quite understand that the poison from which the stall owner and Lu Zhang suffered was clearly visible and considering the thunder attribute’s toxic nature, even if Yun Xiao got it into his hands, he probably couldn’t refine it, so what use could it have?

However, these people overlooked one problem. Since Yun Xiao could easily neutralize the Hidden Thunder Poison, gaining possession of this fake Heavenly Vine Flower wouldn’t result in the same outcome as with the stall owner and Lu Zhang.

With the Dragon Tree Spirit Little Dragon in him, Yun Xiao could ignore all the deadly poisons in the world. The method just used to resolve the Hidden Thunder Poison was Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons technique. Otherwise, with his meridian refining technique, even if he could detoxify, it wouldn’t be so quick.

Since the deadly poison of the Hidden Thunder Poison was ineffective against Yun Xiao, such thunder attribute power was precisely what he needed most. What others saw as a Pigeon Bone Poison was, to him, a great tonic.

Of course, outsiders certainly wouldn’t know about these things, so as they watched the silhouette disappearing into the distance, they all speculated about Yun Xiao’s true origins, wondering why even the two great thunder children of Sky Thunder Valley dared to be dismissed by him?

For these thoughts, Yun Xiao didn’t bother much. As he walked along casually, he found some good items at the Lianyun Mountain Trade Fair, even buying materials needed to refine Earth Rank Middle Stage Elixirs.

It’s worth mentioning that along the way, Xu Changgui and Lu Zhang seemed to have vanished into thin air, not causing any more trouble, thus sparing Yun Xiao a lot of hassle. As for wealth, he naturally wasn’t lacking now, even wealthier than some of the Family Heads of small families.

”Hey, you can’t do this, I clearly bought this first, why should I give it to you?”

As Yun Xiao arrived at the inner circle of the trade fair and was examining some special Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a voice suddenly reached his ears, making his heart stir because this voice was not at all unfamiliar to him.

”Teacher? Why is he here at Lianyun Mountain too?”

......

Deep within the Lianyun Mountain Trade Fair, in front of a certain stall.

A middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade was staring angrily and warily at a young man in luxurious clothes in front of him, but his right hand was pressed on a certain item on the stall, and it was this person who spoke the voice Yun Xiao heard earlier.

Yun Xiao found the voice familiar because this middle-aged man was none other than the first teacher he had worshiped in the Jade Pot Sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent after being reborn: Yu Shu!

Back when Yun Xiao left the Hidden Dragon Continent, Yu Shu’s Meridian Qi Cultivation had already reached a Half-step Earth Rank, and his Meridian Refining Technique was at the peak of Spiritual Rank Advanced, just a step away from breaking through to Earth Rank Low Level.

After Yun Xiao left, Yu Shu successfully broke through, and the small Hidden Dragon Continent could no longer contain him. Therefore, after handing over the affairs of Jade Pot Sect to the Great Elder Lu Zhan, he passed through the Boundary Tower and arrived at the Tenglong Continent.

As a low-level Earth Rank Meridian Refining Master, the place Yu Shu most yearned for was, of course, Lianyun Mountain of the Meridian Refining Master Association, and it was just in time for the triennial Lianyun Mountain disciple selection. He directly went to a certain city to participate in the basic assessment and gained entry to this final competition.

The Lianyun Mountain disciple selection does not consider age, and besides, Yu Shu isn’t that old, not yet even a century old, which is actually quite young compared to the maximum lifespan of five hundred years for Earth Rank cultivators.

As the final selection for Lianyun Mountain disciples approached, Yu Shu finally arrived at Lianyun Mountain and coincidentally entered this trade fair, looking for some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures suitable for himself.

However, when Yu Shu found a special item at this stall and was about to close the deal, a young man in luxurious robes unexpectedly barged in, and within just a few words, made the stall owner change his mind, which naturally infuriated Yu Shu.

From the discussions of the stall owner and some people around, Yu Shu learned the background of the young man in luxurious attire, knowing he came from the headquarters of Spirit Fighting Commerce, called Li Gongnian, with quite an impressive background.

Having mingled on the Tenglong Continent for more than half a year, Yu Shu had some understanding of the distribution of forces on the Tenglong Continent. Spirit Fighting Commerce was one of the top four forces. This kind of talent from such a force, even though much younger than him, had a Meridian Qi Cultivation that exceeded his by more than a notch.

Since coming to Tenglong Continent, Yu Shu had only broken through to the Qi Seeking Realm Middle Stage in this half a year, but under his sensing, the aura of the young man named Li Gongnian was as vast as a mighty river, leaving him without any courage to battle against him.

Yu Shu might have been high and mighty on the Hidden Dragon Continent, and after the war that destroyed the Xuanyue Empire, Jade Pot Sect had already become the number one sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent, raising Yu Shu’s status, making him respected and revered wherever he went.

Unfortunately, in different planes, the levels of strength also differ greatly. The top powerhouses of the Hidden Dragon Continent, upon coming to the Tenglong Continent, are just bottom feeders, much like Yu Shu at this moment, where he had no traces of the former Sect Master’s dignity, his aura completely suppressed.

But as the former Sect Master of Jade Pot Sect, Yu Shu had his pride. Even though he knew his strength paled compared to Li Gongnian, that Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was something he had almost closed a deal on; being snatched in public, he still argued from reason.

The situation somewhat resembled the previous scene where Yun Xiao contended with the two geniuses of Sky Thunder Valley. Unfortunately, Yu Shu didn’t possess Yun Xiao’s means; a Qi Seeking Realm Middle Stage cultivator wouldn’t be taken seriously by Li Gongnian.

Li Gongnian, known as one of the most outstanding talents in a century from Spirit Fighting Commerce, was not only a leading figure among the younger generation on the entire Tenglong Continent but also stronger than top talents from other first-class forces because he was already a genuine late-stage Origin Seeking Realm powerhouse.

”Hehe, this brother, doing business naturally depends on whom the owner is willing to sell to. At least right now, this owner is more willing to do business with me!”

Spirit Fighting Commerce’s Li Gongnian waved a folding fan in his hand stylishly, but his words made Yu Shu’s face turn pale, not knowing how to refute.

Earlier, he had indeed reached an agreement with the stall owner. The money bag was already thrown out, but for some reason, after Li Gongnian appeared and said a few words, the stall owner immediately changed his mind, such a straightforward rejection, leaving one quite helpless.
