Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Earth Rank Advanced poison, huh? No wonder this guy is so confident?”

In the square, although Yun Xiao did not know the poison used by Yao Tiansha was refined by Tang Yebi, the chief Poison Vein Master of Sky Thunder Valley, and already a Half-step Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Master, with his experience and Power of Soul, he recognized at first glance that it was a Thunder Attribute poison at Earth Rank Advanced.

However, for poisons of this sort, as long as they haven’t truly reached the Heavenly Rank level, Yun Xiao doesn’t pay much attention to them. Besides his own Poison Meridian Skill, he possesses a physique immune to hundreds of poisons.

Of course, this immunity to hundreds of poisons refers to those not yet at the Heavenly Rank level. Yun Xiao is ultimately not the Long Xiao Battle God of his previous life, just like his Meridian Qi Cultivation. If it were too high a grade of poison, he wouldn’t be confident in dissolving it.

Additionally, beside Yun Xiao is the Dragon Tree Spirit Little Dragon, which can use the One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons technique, placing Yun Xiao in an undefeatable position. This is the true reason he dared to let Yao Tiansha strike first.

Unfortunately, no one knows about these matters, and Yao Tiansha is even more unaware. Therefore, when he saw Yun Xiao already grasping the Thunderflash into his hand, a satisfied smirk appeared in his eyes, thinking the contest in Poison Meridian Skill would likely end in the next moment.

”This Thunder Attribute poison is quite interesting!”

Yun Xiao did not care about the thoughts of the spectators or Yao Tiansha. After grasping the Thunderflash, he felt a tremor throughout his body, with a surge of Thunder Power raging through, causing him to become slightly numb.

One must know that Yun Xiao’s physical strength is now comparable to an Eighth Rank Middle Stage Vein Demon. At least within the realm of human Seeking Origin Realm, few things could affect his physical strength.

It can be imagined what kind of outcome an ordinary cultivator at the initial stage of the Seeking Origin Realm would face after enduring this Earth Rank Advanced Thunderflash—likely to be instantly reduced to mush and blood!

This shows that Yao Tiansha was confident but did not underestimate Yun Xiao, this young kid. He wanted to crush this dark horse with a crushing force to reclaim the dignity belonging to Sky Thunder Valley.

However, this Thunderflash, unrivaled against ordinary cultivators, has encountered Yun Xiao this time, a peerless genius who does not play by the rules, rendering it futile.

The raging electric poison, although it paralyzed Yun Xiao’s skin and flesh for a moment, vanished into smoke in an instant upon the unleashing of a special power.

This power is naturally Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons, aligning with Yun Xiao’s expectations. With his current Meridian Qi Cultivation and Meridian Refining Technique, as long as the poison hasn’t reached the Heavenly Rank level, Little Dragon can dissolve it in an instant without much effort.

Truth be told, even with Yun Xiao’s own methods and physical strength, dissolving this Earth Rank Advanced poison isn’t impossible, but it would take too long.

Since they were in the contest phase, to avoid unnecessary complications, Yun Xiao let Little Dragon take action, and moments later, when everyone saw that the boy’s face was still rosy with no signs of poisoning, they were almost dumbstruck.

Among the spectators were not only the elders of Lianyun Mountain like Qingmu, Wu, and San Yuan who recognized it as an Earth Rank Advanced poison refined by Sky Thunder Valley’s chief Poison Vein Master.

After all, those who came to participate in the selection of Lianyun Mountain disciples were skillful Meridian Masters. Many came from regions affiliated with Sky Thunder Valley. Though they hadn’t directly dealt with Sky Thunder Valley, they had a certain level of understanding of the chief Poison Vein Master there.

Previously, some onlookers couldn’t help but secretly criticize Yao Tiansha for his despicable actions—winning this contest would be dishonorable since it wasn’t based on his Poison Meridian Skill.

However, despite their disdain, other onlookers weren’t as familiar with Yun Xiao as Qingmu Wu, so they mostly believed that the biggest dark horse in this selection of Lianyun Mountain disciples would soon die from the Thunderflash poison.

Who would have thought that after over ten breaths of time, that rustic-clad boy showed no signs of poisoning. The spectators didn’t believe the poison used by Yao Tiansha was a fake.

Thus, it can only be that Yun Xiao himself possessed a highly formidable Poison Meridian Skill capable of dissolving the poison deployed by Yao Tiansha almost instantly, explaining the current scene.

”That was the Earth Rank Advanced Thunderflash!”

For some informed individuals, this possibility came with disbelief, because among them, if anyone were hit by the Thunderflash, they would surely be paralyzed and turn to bloody mush within a short time.

”No! This is impossible!”

Compared to the crowd watching the excitement, Yao Tiansha, being directly involved, had eyes full of unwillingness and disbelief. Perhaps he himself didn’t know that after this event, a sliver of fear had already settled deep in his heart—a fear of that rustic-clad boy.

Frankly, Yao Tiansha didn’t underestimate Yun Xiao at all, otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the Earth Rank Advanced Thunderflash at the start. Yet in the end, not even this Earth Rank Advanced poison could claim Yun Xiao’s life.

If Yun Xiao had struggled painfully for a while and eventually managed to miraculously dissolve the highly poisonous Thunderflash, Yao Tiansha might have felt a bit better, but the opponent neutralized it with such ease, driving him to frustration and madness.

According to Yao Tiansha, this highly poisonous Thunderflash refined by the chief Poison Vein Master of Sky Thunder Valley would take even a Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Master at least a day to initially resolve.

Yet this young fellow before him, not only showed no signs of poisoning after such a short duration, but his face was also rosy, clearly having completely neutralized the Thunderflash’s poison.

This completely overturned Yao Tiansha’s long-held views on Poison Meridian skills, and he faintly felt that he had misunderstood something, with the situation seeming to spiral out of control.

”Yao Protector, is it my turn now?”

Yun Xiao raised his head and spoke with a smile to Yao Tiansha, whose face was pale. This earnest demeanor further convinced the crowd that the young man wasn’t poisoned.

Yun Xiao did not concern himself with the thoughts of the onlookers or the grim expression on Yao Tiansha’s face. After speaking, he brushed his waist with his hand, and a dark glow flashed. An unremarkable-looking pill appeared in his hand out of thin air.

”What is that? It looks so ordinary!”

The observing Meridian Masters sensed no special fluctuations from the pill, and one of them mumbled aloud, but as soon as he spoke, he drew disdainful gazes from those around.

As if joking, something taken out by a youngster who wasn’t even harmed by an Earth Rank Advanced poison could be ordinary? Even though the pill looked plain, everyone believed that there was certainly something unknown to them inside.

In fact, that person wasn’t really wrong. The pill Yun Xiao took out was just a Poison Pill that he had casually scavenged from someone he had killed.

Judging by its grade, it didn’t even reach Earth Rank Low Level, only at the level of Spiritual Rank Advanced. Such poison seemed insufficient for an Earth Rank Middle Level Poison Vein Master.

But Yun Xiao had his reasons for taking out this pill. With a slight thought, a familiar power erupted from somewhere, attacking the inside of the Poison Pill directly, though to others, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Whoosh!

After doing all this, Yun Xiao, without any further delay, flicked the Poison Pill, turning it into a streak of dark light that sped towards Yao Tiansha, who instinctively reached out to catch it in sudden alarm.

”This... it’s only a Spiritual Rank Advanced Poison Pill?!”

Upon catching the Poison Pill, Yao Tiansha’s expression changed. He scolded himself for being careless enough to catch it with his hand, but the next moment, upon sensing the pill’s grade, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Spiritual Rank Advanced?”

Yao Tiansha’s exclamation suddenly silenced the space inside and outside the plaza, causing everyone to stare blankly at the duo in the arena, glancing at Yao Tiansha, and then at Yun Xiao, finally focusing on the pill in Yao Tiansha’s hand.

The Meridian Masters who had previously scolded someone for lacking vision now felt metaphorically slapped in the face, internally cursing, ”You, Yun Xiao, can withstand poisons that can’t harm an Earth Rank Advanced being, so why bring out such a low-tier poison?”

”Could it be that the kid excels in Soul Power, but his Poison Meridian skill hasn’t even reached Earth Rank Low Level?”

This thought spiraled further for everyone, but they couldn’t be blamed. In this continent, having Soul Power at Earth Rank Low Level doesn’t guarantee becoming an Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Master.

The field of Meridian Refining is broad and profound like the ocean, and it’s common for many with strong Soul Power to be stuck without breakthrough due to lacking Meridian Refining techniques.

Yun Xiao’s previous stunning performance had prevented anyone from considering this possibility. Now it seemed that this plainly dressed youth wasn’t as powerful as everyone imagined.

Even the elders seated in the northern area of Lianyun Mountain looked astonished, completely clueless about what Yun Xiao was planning.

Could this youngster truly intend to poison an Earth Rank Middle Level Poison Vein Master like Yao Tiansha with a Spiritual Rank Advanced Poison Pill? The notion seemed far too whimsical.

Under the mixed thoughts of the audience, Yao Tiansha, the one involved, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he was an Earth Rank Middle Level Poison Vein Master, and this Spiritual Rank Advanced Poison Pill certainly wouldn’t have much effect on him.
