Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Lie down!”

Yun Xiao shouted sternly, and the meaning within those two words made Mo Qing blush a little. However, she eventually complied and lay down on the bed in the room, knowing that the young man before her had no impure intentions at this moment.

Instead, Mo Qing felt a faint excitement in her heart. Her purpose of coming to the Tenglong Continent was to ensure she didn’t fall too far behind this demon-like genius, Yun Xiao. Meeting him again now, seeing him advance ahead of her, brought a strong sense of urgency.

From Yun Xiao’s recent words, Mo Qing knew that she might be about to break through to the early stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, narrowing the gap between her and Yun Xiao once more.

Tap tap tap...

Yun Xiao didn’t have too many thoughts. With his current Meridian Refining Technique, he could accurately pinpoint the body’s acupoints even through clothing. As his fingers moved incessantly, more than ten major acupoints on Mo Qing’s back were consecutively pressed.

Mo Qing herself was also a Meridian Refining Master at half-step Earth Rank and naturally understood that Yun Xiao was performing a special Meridian Array at this moment. However, she was unclear about the purpose of this array.

Perhaps only Yun Xiao knew the true intent of this Meridian Array, which was to fully activate the residual energy of the Pure Origin Red Fruit within Mo Qing, assisting her in breaking through once again.

Yun Xiao hails from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, and his comprehension of the Pure Origin Red Fruit was surely different from the Meridian Refining Masters of the Tenglong Continent. This unique Fire Attribute fruit, upon being consumed, left behind considerable residual energy.

Without special methods to activate it, the residual energy would continue to linger throughout the cultivator’s body. While it posed no harm to the human body, so much energy could truly go to waste.

Qian Sanyuan knew only part of the truth. Seeing Mo Qing break through to the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm after consuming the Pure Origin Red Fruit, he assumed his newly recruited disciple had absorbed all the fruit’s energy, and didn’t pay further attention.

But Yun Xiao was someone extraordinary. Just by asking and sensing for a moment, he determined that a significant amount of the Pure Origin Red Fruit’s energy still remained.

Coincidentally, back in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Yun Xiao had studied the Pure Origin Red Fruit extensively, making this a stroke of great fortune for Mo Qing.

If it weren’t for Yun Xiao, even the Chairman of Lianyun Mountain at the Heavenly Rank wouldn’t be able to activate the residual energy of the Pure Origin Red Fruit, let alone help Mo Qing to break through.

”Boom!”

When Yun Xiao’s fingers paused at a certain spot and the special Meridian Array created a link, Mo Qing felt an overwhelming surge of Fire Attribute energy from deep within her body.

This Fire Attribute energy was not unfamiliar to Mo Qing; it was the very energy of the Pure Origin Red Fruit that had propelled her to break through to the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm.

What Mo Qing hadn’t realized was how much residual energy remained in the Pure Origin Red Fruit that helped her break through to the peak of Qi Seeking Realm, and why she hadn’t noticed it before?

A sudden thought flashed through Mo Qing’s mind, thinking to herself: Is there anything in this world that Yun Xiao doesn’t know? This youth always seemed like an all-knowing Nine Heavens God, constantly presenting her with endless surprises.

These thoughts fleetingly passed through Mo Qing’s mind, and the next moment, she stopped thinking about them. The surge of residual energy from the Pure Origin Red Fruit helped her distinctly sense the opportunity to break through to the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage.

About an hour passed, and a magnificent wave of energy exploded from Mo Qing, prompting the Heaven and Earth Energy both inside and outside the room to rush towards her, transforming into nourishment for her breakthrough.

Boom!

An invisible sound resonated, and Yun Xiao slowly withdrew his fingers, knowing that his efforts were finally rewarded—Senior Sister Mo Qing before him had now become a genuine early-stage Origin Seeking Realm expert.

”Hmm?”

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly discovered that Mo Qing’s breakthrough involved not only her Meridian Qi Cultivation but also her Power of Soul, which had reached the Earth Rank Low Level.

Mo Qing achieving an Earth Rank Low-level soul indicated that her Meridian Refining Technique had also abruptly advanced to the Earth Rank Low Level, propelling her significantly further along the path of Meridian Refining.

”I... I... what happened to me?”

After her breakthrough, Mo Qing opened her eyes, seemingly unable to believe what had transpired—both reaching the early stage of Origin Seeking Realm and achieving Earth Rank Low-level soul were her goals, yet merely visiting Yun Xiao unexpectedly led to breakthroughs.

Is there anything this young man can’t accomplish in this world? Mo Qing’s eyes initially reflected bewilderment, then a hint of fascination. Following today’s events, she realized that the charm of this youth in simple attire had again increased significantly.

”What... what are you doing?”

Just as Mo Qing slowly sat up from the bed to say something, a slightly surprised female voice came from outside the room, causing both of them to turn their heads instinctively towards the sound.

”Senior Sister Hanyi?”

At a glance, both Yun Xiao and Mo Qing recognized that graceful figure without any trace of unfamiliarity. It was Liu Hanyi, the genius girl from the Luoyi Sect who had good relations with them on the Hidden Dragon Continent!

Liu Hanyi, who had just walked in from outside, originally intended to reminisce with Yun Xiao. She hadn’t expected to see such a scene upon entering the courtyard: Mo Qing slowly rising from the bed while Yun Xiao stood by the bedside, with chaotic auras around them.

Thoughts rushed into Liu Hanyi’s mind, despite her previous insistence of having no interest in Yun Xiao. Perhaps unknown to herself, after experiencing the events on the Hidden Dragon Continent, she could never truly forget this Jade Pot Sect genius boy.

”We... We didn’t do anything!”

As a woman, Mo Qing had a more delicate mind. Thinking about how Yun Xiao had been touching and pointing on her body just now, she felt a bit guilty, and her face reddened a few more shades.

Her expression made Liu Hanyi more suspicious that something was amiss between the two, but given her good relationship with Mo Qing, she didn’t feel any jealousy.

”Huh? Mo Qing, your... your cultivation?”

However, in the next moment, Liu Hanyi had fewer thoughts as her eyes fixed on Mo Qing as if she had discovered something utterly unbelievable.

Because Mo Qing had just broken through, unable to fully suppress her aura, Liu Hanyi could immediately sense the Early Stage of Origin Seeking Realm Meridian Qi Cultivation from her, reacting as if seeing a ghost.

Just a few days ago, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had met, and at that time, Mo Qing was at the same level as her—the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm. How was it possible she broke through to the Early Stage of Origin Seeking Realm?

”Could it be... because of you?”

Considering a possibility, Liu Hanyi’s incredulous gaze suddenly turned to the rough-clothed boy beside her, holding an inkling of suspicion.

”Haha, I just helped a little, it was really Senior Sister Mo Qing’s own good fortune!”

Seeing Liu Hanyi looking at him, Yun Xiao smiled, neither denying nor boasting, causing the eyes of this Sky Poison Institute Poison Vein talent to instantly light up.

”Yun Xiao, you can’t be partial, our friendship isn’t bad, right?”

Liu Hanyi, straightforward by nature, was already known for this on the Hidden Dragon Continent, and she wasted no time in speaking up, directly grasping Yun Xiao’s arm.

”Uh... well...”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but show a bitter smile. He could aid Mo Qing’s breakthrough because she still had the abundant energy of the Pure Origin Red Fruit within her.

Now, even though Yun Xiao was an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master, assisting a genius at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm to directly break through to the Early Stage of Origin Seeking Realm was somewhat beyond his capabilities.

”Senior Sister Hanyi, my breakthrough was due to certain reasons because...”

Mo Qing, seeing Yun Xiao’s awkward expression, couldn’t help but explain the reasons for her recent breakthrough.

In truth, Liu Hanyi was just making a playful remark, never seriously believing Yun Xiao had such miraculous ability to cause anyone to break through at his whim. After hearing Mo Qing’s explanation, she further understood it was impossible.

”Maybe you could try this!”

As Liu Hanyi released her grip on his arm, an idea struck Yun Xiao, who then reached to his waist and suddenly a scroll emitting a blazing aura appeared in his palm.

”Senior Sister Hanyi, this is a method for practicing Poison Meridian Skill that I personally wrote. If you’re willing, perhaps you could follow it for some cultivation, which should provide certain benefits to your Poison Fire Ancestor Vein!”

Yun Xiao offered the green scroll to Liu Hanyi. The practice method for Poison Meridian Skill he mentioned was not mere words; his past incarnation, the Long Xiao Battle God’s memories as a Holy-grade Poison Vein Master made it credible.

The Long Xiao Battle God in his previous life had encountered several Holy-grade Poison Vein Masters with Poison Fire Ancestor Veins, so he was familiar with such techniques—undoubtedly a suitable remedy for Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Poison Body.

Initially, Liu Hanyi hadn’t thought Yun Xiao had a real solution, so when he handed her the scroll, her expression turned peculiar, with a hint of undisguisable emotion.

This boy from the Hidden Dragon Continent hadn’t forgotten her, nor had he shown favoritism.
