Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”No Void Poison Introduction Meridian Array, activate!”

With a low shout from Yun Xiao, the Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Array he had labored to refine finally unleashed its true power.

As a flash of light gleamed, the eyes of Qingmu Wu flickered, as if seeing countless threads of light circulating around the poisoned man. Yet, upon closer inspection, it seemed as if nothing was there.

Perhaps this is the origin of the ”No Void” in the ”No Void Poison Introduction Meridian Array.” These seemingly illusionary lights, like countless guiding threads, extracted the venom of the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections from the poisoned man’s body without damaging his meridians in the slightest. It truly was a miraculous detoxification meridian array.

Transmitted from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Yun Xiao’s former Meridian Refining abilities perhaps couldn’t execute the No Void Poison Introduction Meridian Array. However, after breaking through to an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master, he could now perform this meridian array with great ease.

”Could it really… be effective?!”

A moment later, as Qingmu Wu, from his hiding place outside, saw the black threads on the poisoned man’s body gradually disappear, his eyes revealed intense brilliance, filled with disbelief.

One must know, the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections poison was a potent toxin Qingmu Wu had studied for years. Even at the Earth Rank Middle Level, resolving it himself wouldn’t be so swift.

Moreover, Qingmu Wu could clearly sense that while the venom of the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections was being neutralized, the man’s meridians remained unharmed. Accomplishing this was challenging even for someone like him, a Low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner.

The human body’s meridians are countless. The venom called thousands of threads and ten thousand connections embeds itself into every meridian once it invades the human body. Neutralizing this venom without harming the meridians requires extremely powerful soul strength for precise control.

Such precise control, as Qingmu Wu knew, might not even be flawlessly executed by the esteemed Chairman. Yet, inside the room, the rough-clothed young boy only had a soul at Earth Rank Middle Level.

”If not the Power of Soul, it must be because of that meridian array!”

Thoughts spiraled in Qingmu Wu’s mind as he finally deduced the truth. Frankly, if Yun Xiao were to rely solely on his Power of Soul to neutralize the venom, it would be nothing short of an impossible dream.

However, when enhanced by the No Void Poison Introduction Meridian Array from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the outcome was entirely different. It was akin to using countless syringes to draw out the venoms embedded in every meridian of the man’s body without harming them in the slightest.

Qingmu Wu, being a Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, could only guess a rough idea of the intricacies. He could not fathom the depths of the techniques once mastered by the Holy Rank Third Realm Long Xiao Battle God from the Tenglong Continent.

Nonetheless, as Cloud Xiao’s No Void Poison Introduction Meridian Array shone brightly, Qingmu Wu realized his journey wasn’t in vain. Even he was astounded by such a method of neutralizing the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections venom.

Witnessing the matter being settled, Qingmu Wu did not linger longer, walking back to his seat in the north with a look of shock, intriguing the other elders of Lianyun Mountain.

”That Yun Xiao, our Sky Poison Institute wants him!”

While everyone speculated what Qingmu Wu had done during his absence, the Sky Poison Institute’s Dean suddenly blurted out, leaving everyone in astonishment.

”Great Elder, what did you just do?”

Upon hearing Qingmu Wu’s words, Vice President Qian Sanyuan’s mind flashed with insight. This old man had previously mocked Yun Xiao, yet his attitude suddenly shifted. Clearly, something unknown transpired during that time.

”He neutralized the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections venom!”

With circumstances as they were, Qingmu Wu did not hide his actions. Upon hearing the five words ”thousands of threads and ten thousand connections venom,” everyone’s expressions changed, including Xue Ningxiang, who wasn’t a Meridian Refiner either.

It is said that a cultivator poisoned by the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections venom would endure immense suffering. Without special means, this poison is incurable.

Moreover, even if someone neutralized the venom of the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections, some damage to the meridians was unavoidable, potentially diminishing the individual’s entire cultivation level after saving a life.

”Great Elder, suddenly changing the assessment criteria seems quite irregular, doesn’t it?”

Another spoke, the Second Elder, Dean Guan Rufeng of the Heavenly Hospital, frowning as he deduced Qingmu Wu’s actions during his disappearance. His tone carried a hint of severity.

”Without me, how would we know the boy can neutralize the venom of the thousands of threads and ten thousand connections? You all probably don’t know, Yun Xiao’s Power of Soul has already broken through to the Earth Rank Middle Level!”

Qingmu Wu glanced askew at Guan Rufeng, and when he uttered these final words, everyone inhaled sharply. Xue Ningxiang’s eyes shone with a peculiar light.

Originally, everyone thought that Yun Xiao was at most an Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Master. After all, the Power of Soul was not apparent, and they couldn’t sense his true soul level.

Little did they know that this young man had already, without anyone noticing, broken through to the Earth Rank Middle Level in terms of soul power. This was even comparable to some stewards of Lianyun Mountain.

Such a person coming to participate in the selection of Lianyun Mountain disciples was simply like Yao Tiansha from Sky Thunder Valley, bullying others.

Qian Sanyuan originally had great confidence in Yun Xiao but didn’t expect such a huge surprise. It hadn’t been long since the last Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, and a breakthrough in soul power is far more challenging than meridian qi cultivation.

”And when he was resolving the Thousand Threads and Many Ties Poison, the meridians of the poisoned person were not damaged at all!”

Seeing everyone in shock, Qingmu Wu continued to say things that shocked people. Seeing the astonishment on these elders’ faces, he felt a sense of balance, for he was also extremely shocked when he discovered these things.

”This...is it possible?”

At this point, even Qian Sanyuan was astonished. He had just broken through to a Heavenly Rank Low Level Pulse Refining Master, a Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert. Yet, with his Medical Pulse Technique, he admitted it was absolutely impossible to resolve the Thousand Threads and Many Ties Poison without damaging any meridian of the patient, only controlling it within a minimal range at best.

Qian Sanyuan wouldn’t think Qingmu Wu was exaggerating. This Heavenly Poison Hospital Director was extremely proud, and if he wasn’t truly impressed, he wouldn’t utter a single word of praise.

”Great Elder, with Yun Xiao’s abilities, shouldn’t he be more suitable for our Heavenly Hospital?”

After a moment, Second Elder Guan Rufeng finally regained his composure, his eyes gleaming with extreme excitement as he spoke, causing Qian Sanyuan to feel a bit of a headache.

Just like the Jade Pot Sect back then, the coexistence of the medical and poison lines brought about these troubles. Every three-yearly Lianyun Mountain disciple selection, when encountering geniuses with astonishing meridian refining talent, these two lines invariably fought fiercely.

If it were a genius specializing solely in either the medical vein or poison vein, it would be fine, but the fear was of someone like Yun Xiao, who not only showed extraordinary talent in the medical vein but also in the poison vein, looking astonishing in Qian Sanyuan’s eyes. Yun Xiao’s arrival might not necessarily be a good thing for the harmony of Lianyun Mountain.

Yet, as Guan Rufeng said, Yun Xiao’s method of resolving the Thousand Threads and Many Ties Poison strictly represented the medical pulse line that cures and saves lives. Such a person, if joining Heavenly Hospital, could save more lives.

”Didn’t you hear what I just said? That Yun Xiao, he’s for the Sky Poison Institute!”

Qingmu Wu wouldn’t reason with Guan Rufeng. He was used to being strong, also being a Heavenly Poison Vein Master and a Heavenly Rank expert, while Guan Rufeng, at best a half-step Heavenly Rank, wasn’t significant in his eyes.

”You...”

Such domineering behavior made Guan Rufeng’s face turn livid. After all, he was also the director of the Heavenly Hospital, an equal rank to Qingmu Wu. Why should he endure this in silence?

”Alright, you two, what’s the use of arguing now? In the end, we have to watch Yun Xiao’s own choice!”

Seeing signs that these two were about to argue again, Qian Sanyuan’s duties sitting in the middle finally played out. Though he leaned more towards the medical pulse line, at this moment, he could only remain neutral; otherwise, it would only fuel further conflict.

”I will make him choose the Sky Poison Institute!”

Qingmu Wu cast a cold glance at Guan Rufeng, his words almost uncontrollable, making the latter almost unable to hold back. The result wasn’t out yet, so how could he be so sure of winning?

Poor those meridian masters still participating in the selection, none expected that before the selection ended, a particular meridian master had already caught the attention of the directors of both the Sky Poison Institute and Heavenly Hospital, almost causing a fight.

As for Yun Xiao, the involved party naturally didn’t know at this moment that he was already nearing the end of resolving the Thousand Threads and Many Ties Poison.

In a flicker of pulse array light, the black threads on the body of the bare-chested man vanished completely, meaning all the poison he suffered from had been fully resolved.

Huff... Huff...

When Yun Xiao withdrew his hands, a surge of mighty power suddenly erupted from the man’s body. This force shot straight to the ceiling, causing the entire room’s energy to be drawn by something, becoming chaotic and turbulent.

”Is this... a breakthrough?”

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao was momentarily stunned, then revealed a satisfied smile. He thought this guy was indeed lucky to achieve a breakthrough immediately after resolving the Thousand Threads and Many Ties Poison.
