Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This old guy...”

Yun Xiao naturally showed a strange expression, because he believed that even the Holy Rank Pulse Refining Masters of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud here would probably be unable to find a flaw in this Poison Meridian Skill practice method, let alone Qingmu Wu, who was merely a Low-level Heavenly Poison Vein Master.

In terms of the Meridian Refining Technique, perhaps Yun Xiao was still far inferior to Qingmu Wu, but in terms of experience and understanding of the Poison Meridian Path, even a hundred Qingmu Wu couldn’t catch up.

This technique was derived from the experience of countless Poison Vein Masters in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. It had been refined over time, and Yun Xiao was already looking forward to Qingmu Wu’s upcoming expression.

Upon seeing Yun Xiao’s expression, Liu Hanyi couldn’t help but feel relieved, and Mo Qing, nearby, stared intently at Qingmu Wu’s old face, with a similar kind of anticipation as Yun Xiao.

”Kid, let me tell you, look at this... huh?”

Qingmu Wu didn’t notice Yun Xiao’s expression at all. He opened the scroll while speaking, thinking that what a young brat wrote must be full of loopholes, probably finding a flaw in the very first line.

To his surprise, as soon as Qingmu Wu glanced at the first line of the scroll, his previous words stopped abruptly as if a fishbone got stuck in his throat, replaced by a dense surprise.

”This... this... this explanation, seems like... seems like...”

Qingmu Wu read line by line, mumbling as he went, and the contempt he had just felt vanished completely.

He felt as though the scroll was opening a new door for him, giving him a deeper understanding of the Poison Meridian Skill in an instant.

What Yun Xiao had written on the scroll was similar in essence to the Poison Meridian Skill practice methods of the Tenglong Continent, but the subtle differences forged a new path, causing a feeling of sudden realization for the reader.

The parts different from regular Poison Meridian Skill practice methods were sharp and precise, addressing the flaws in the cultivation of low-ranked Meridian Refining Masters on the Tenglong Continent, and for Qingmu Wu, it was nothing short of an enlightening experience.

As the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute and a top-tier Poison Vein Master of the Meridian Refining Master Association and the entire Tenglong Continent, Qingmu Wu had never seen such a practice method for Poison Meridian Skills, not even in the ancient books passed down at Lianyun Mountain.

For a moment, Qingmu Wu was completely absorbed in it. Seeing the teacher’s expression, Liu Hanyi was shocked, despite having been prepared for it.

Originally, Qingmu Wu had taken the scroll to find a flaw in this Poison Meridian Skill practice method, but after just a few glances, he was already completely engrossed, unable to stop.

A Poison Meridian Skill practice method that could captivate a Low-level Heavenly Poison Vein Master was undoubtedly incredibly precious, even Liu Hanyi could easily understand its value.

Such a precious item was given to him by Yun Xiao without a word, leaving Liu Hanyi with nothing but gratitude in his heart, remembering this youth he encountered on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

But what Liu Hanyi didn’t know was that, with the memory of his previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God, Yun Xiao found this Poison Meridian Skill practice method merely ordinary.

Meanwhile, Mo Qing was also somewhat stunned, her beautiful eyes lingering for a long while on the mesmerized Qingmu Wu before turning to Yun Xiao standing calmly beside her, the light in her eyes growing ever more vibrant.

Mo Qing felt that every time she met Yun Xiao, the boy would surprise her in a different way. Now it seemed that the method he used to stimulate the energy of the Pure Origin Red Fruit, compared to the Poison Meridian Skill practice method given to Liu Hanyi, was a small token compared to this great treasure.

About fifteen minutes later, Qingmu Wu finally finished reading the contents of the scroll, then closed it and sat in silent contemplation, digesting certain things.

”Phew...”

After a moment, Qingmu Wu opened his eyes, exhaling deeply as if trying to suppress the excitement and shock in his heart, finally turning his gaze to the plainly-dressed young man.

”Well, Dean Qing, did you find any flaws?”

Yun Xiao still maintained his calm demeanor, but his words left Qingmu Wu, the dignified dean of the Sky Poison Institute, feeling a bit embarrassed and awkward.

This was not a practice method full of flaws as Qingmu Wu initially thought, but rather a Supreme Treasure rarely seen on the entire Tenglong Continent!

This Poison Meridian Skill cultivation method not only has not a single flaw, but it also gave Qingmu Wu a sense of revelation after flipping through it once. He felt that the Poison Meridian Skills he had previously cultivated were pathetically inferior.

It’s funny that just now Qingmu Wu was mocking the cultivation method written by Yun Xiao, claiming it was far inferior to his own methods, but now he’s been proven painfully wrong. Upon hearing Yun Xiao’s question, his face turned a mix of green and red, filled with complex emotions.

”Yun Xiao, oh no, Master Yun, please forgive Mu Wu’s earlier rudeness. This method is extremely rare in the world, and Mu Wu considers it a stroke of fortune to have glimpsed it. I beg Master Yun not to blame me for stealing his knowledge!”

Yet under the gaze of the three people, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute made a jaw-dropping move. He bowed deeply towards Yun Xiao, and the words he spoke left Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing utterly dazed.

”What? Master Yun?”

Both women had this crazy thought in their hearts. They knew that this person was the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, a formidable Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert, and a genuine Low-Level Heavenly Poison Vein Master, yet he was calling Yun Xiao ”Master.” What on earth was going on?

Even Yun Xiao himself was taken aback by Qingmu Wu’s actions. He suddenly realized that the Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Master in front of him didn’t seem as annoying as the Fu Du Mo Li from before. At least this demeanor was quite pleasant to the mind.

What the three people didn’t know was how shocking this Poison Meridian Skill cultivation method casually written by Yun Xiao was to Qingmu Wu. The saying ”those who achieve must be masters” was exactly the case here.

Qingmu Wu had been obsessed with cultivating Poison Meridian Skills his entire life, which allowed him to become one of Tenglong Continent’s top Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Masters. He always thought that his research in the Poison Meridian Path had reached its peak or at least a bottleneck. At least on this Tenglong Continent, it was impossible to break through any further.

However, after seeing the Poison Meridian Skill cultivation method written by Yun Xiao, it was as if a new door had opened, giving him reason to believe that as long as he practiced according to the method on this scroll, his Poison Meridian Skills could advance further within a certain period.

Compared to the method Yun Xiao wrote, Qingmu Wu felt that the methods he previously cultivated were as worthless as trash. The truth that comparisons bring enlightenment remains eternally valid.

Despite Qingmu Wu’s lofty position at the Sky Poison Institute, it was because he had no rivals. Today, discovering someone with a deeper understanding of the Poison Meridian Path than himself, calling Yun Xiao ”Master” was not such an incomprehensible matter.

However, if the other Poison Vein Masters at the Sky Poison Institute found out that the Dean had called a young lad who had only officially joined Lianyun Mountain as ”Master,” who knows what fantastic expressions they would have.

”Since you have read it, you might as well follow this method to cultivate in the future. However, though the Poison Meridian Path is primarily about poison and killing, make sure to distinguish right from wrong and don’t kill innocent people recklessly!”

At this moment, Yun Xiao seemed to be shrouded in an innate majesty, as if the Long Xiao Battle God had possessed him in a past life. Overall, after these words were spoken, Qingmu Wu had no objections and respectfully bowed in agreement.

”Thank you, Master Yun!”

Upon receiving Yun Xiao’s approval, Qingmu Wu was overjoyed. After all, this Poison Meridian Skill cultivation method was a gift Yun Xiao gave to Liu Hanyi. He initially took it to find flaws, but to his surprise, the result was completely different.

Had the scroll been full of garbage, it would have been fine. But what was initially thought to be flawed was now a Supreme Treasure, which made Qingmu Wu’s previous actions somewhat inappropriate.

Of course, if Qingmu Wu had been a petty and shameless person, he could have just taken a look without a second thought, even forcibly taking the scroll. After all, with such a disparity in strength, even if Yun Xiao were enraged, there would be little he could do.

But Qingmu Wu, being the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, was not a despicable person. Plus, he was obsessed with poison study his whole life. Before Yun Xiao agreed, he felt as though he had stolen someone else’s treasure, and it was only after Yun Xiao’s consent that he could completely relax.

”Hanyi, this is an unsurpassed treasure. You must take good care of it and remember Master Yun’s words. Do not let it fall into the hands of evil people!”

After this thought passed through his mind, Qingmu Wu respectfully returned the scroll to Liu Hanyi, and the words he spoke made Yun Xiao very pleased.

”Master Yun, if you have the time, please visit the Sky Poison Institute and lecture those ignorant brats about the Poison Meridian Skills. Mu Wu would greatly appreciate the privilege of listening to your teachings!”

Thinking about the contents of the scroll, Qingmu Wu’s attitude became even more respectful, completely different from when he first entered the courtyard. Gone was the imposing aura of the Dean with his nose in the air.

As for whether the contents on the scroll were actually written by Yun Xiao, Qingmu Wu no longer had any doubts. After all, last night he had witnessed Yun Xiao’s Poison Meridian Skills.

Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, it still proved from another angle that this young man’s understanding of the Poison Meridian Path far surpassed his own.
