Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

With Yun Xiao’s Meridian Array techniques, combined with Lu Yanji’s not yet fully awakened Lu Family bloodline, the result this time is undoubtedly pleasing.

After some hours passed, an extraordinarily powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lu Yanji’s body, pushing Yun Xiao back several steps.

”From now on, it depends on you!”

Stepping back, Yun Xiao sensed the black and green mist being drawn back into Lu Yanji’s body, and couldn’t help but sigh with a sense of wonder.

Although Lu Yanji had been in retreat for about a year, perhaps that year of hard work might not compare to the aid Yun Xiao provided in these few hours.

Not only might it advance Lu Yanji’s Meridian Qi Cultivation further, but it could also fully awaken the Lu Family bloodline, no longer binding him and allowing his cultivation speed to soar.

One must know that Lu Yanji is a figure of the older generation in the Tenglong Continent, much older than the likes of Xue Tianao and Wu Zhukong.

So even though Lu Yanji is the first on the Heavenly List of Tenglong Continent, it’s because he’s leveraged over a hundred years of practice, but he’s been stuck at the Peak of the Lingyun Realm for many years, and if he doesn’t breakthrough, he will surely be caught up by the younger generation.

However, breaking through from the peak of the Lingyun Realm to the early-stage Heavenly Realm is not an overnight process, even with Yun Xiao’s help, it’s unlikely to happen instantly.

Hence, once Yun Xiao sensed that the aura around Lu Yanji was stabilizing, he stopped interfering and stepped back several more steps to leave the hall.

Creaaak!

The sound of the hall door opening immediately brightened the eyes of the three anxious people waiting outside, especially upon seeing the coarse-clothed youth emerging from the hall, they became somewhat impatient.

”Yun Xiao, how is the President?”

Guan Rufeng was the most impatient, though he saw the black and green mist swirling around the hall retract, he was the first to ask, his voice full of deep anticipation.

”Rest assured, our President is merely bound by something, at least in a few days or half a month, he will successfully break through!”

A gleam flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes as he thought of the Lu Family bloodline belonging to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud that Lu Yanji possessed, feeling it somewhat peculiar.

Yun Xiao once shared deep ties with the Lu family, unexpectedly in this new life, he ran into someone from the Lu family again on the Tenglong Continent, which induced a strange feeling.

But towards Lu Yanji, Yun Xiao held no ill will; he even speculated that perhaps Lu Yanji himself didn’t know his bloodline was from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Furthermore, Lu Yanji had once saved Yun Xiao’s life in Extreme Yin City, so Yun Xiao’s wholehearted assistance this time was also repaying a human favor to the President.

”That’s great!”

Upon Yun Xiao’s words, Qian Sanyuan and the other two were overjoyed; they didn’t doubt Yun Xiao, having gained unspeakable confidence in him after all he had done.

”There’s nothing more for me here, have someone stand guard and call me if there’s anything!”

Yun Xiao turned back, glanced at the hall where the black and green mist had disappeared, and after speaking, walked outside. Watching his departing figure, Qian Sanyuan and the others exchanged glances.

”Yun Xiao, wait a moment!”

Just a few steps out, Yun Xiao suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind, turning around in surprise to see Vice Chairman Qian Sanyuan, full of curiosity in his eyes.

”There’s something that might interest you!”

Qian Sanyuan, not minding Yun Xiao’s bewildered gaze, looked eagerly at the coarse-clothed youth before him, and asked, ”Yun Xiao, have you heard of the ’Heaven Refining List’?”

”Heaven Refining List?”

At these words, Yun Xiao was stunned again, saying, ”I’ve heard of the Heavenly List from the Shenxiao Sect. Isn’t our President ranked first on that list?”

Yun Xiao indeed had heard of the Heavenly List by the Shenxiao Sect, and those he knew like Xue Tianao or Wu Zhukong were among the top-ranked on it as super strong figures.

But now hearing Qian Sanyuan mention the ”Heaven Refining List”, Yun Xiao was somewhat unfamiliar with it, wondering if it’s another special list by the Shenxiao Sect. However, what does that have to do with him?

”The Heavenly List is set by the Shenxiao Sect, while the Heaven Refining List is unique to our Meridian Refining Master Association, an exceptional honor for all those at Heavenly Rank in the Tenglong Continent!”

Qian Sanyuan was straightforward, as he said, ”Every ten years, we hold a special Meridian Refining Conference at Lianyun Mountain. Only Pulse Refining Masters who have reached the Heavenly Rank are qualified to participate. The ranking of each conference is known as the Heaven Refining List!”

”So that’s how it is!”

Although Qian Sanyuan put it simply, with Yun Xiao’s wisdom, he immediately grasped many details, thinking to himself that this might be the most prestigious gathering for Pulse Refining Masters on the entire Tenglong Continent?

It could even be said that the decennial Lianyun Mountain Meridian Refining Conference is the supreme event to decide the foremost Pulse Refining Master of Tenglong Continent, completely incomparable to the trivial matter of Yun Xiao participating in the disciple selection back in the day.

You must know that on the Tenglong Continent, it’s not only the Meridian Refining Master Association that has Heavenly Rank Pulse Refining Masters. Other entities, such as the Three Top Forces, also have their own Heavenly Rank Pulse Refining Masters.

For instance, Lian Yuluo, the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall, is an authentic Low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, and his refining techniques may not be inferior to the three before me.

In fact, in the entire Meridian Refining Master Association, aside from Lu Yanji, who is currently breaking through, only these three have reached the level of a Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Master.

Although Lianyun Mountain is the Holy Land for Pulse Refiners, compared to the cultivation of Meridian Qi, breaking through to the Heavenly Rank in the refiner’s level is several times more difficult.

Not everyone, like Yun Xiao, has the memories and experiences of a past life. After his power broke through to the Heavenly Rank, his Soul Power also reached the Low-level Heavenly Stage, allowing his Meridian Refining Techniques to also reach the Low-level Heavenly Stage.

Many extremely talented Meridian Refining Experts have had their strength breakthrough to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, with their Power of Soul reaching the Low-level Heavenly Stage, yet their Meridian Refining Techniques failed to break through. This is a matter of experience and practice.

Compared to Meridian Qi Cultivation, the Meridian Refining Master Guild is naturally more professional than the Shenxiao Sect in evaluating Pulse Refiners. Therefore, the decennial Elite Meridian Refining Conference has become a special event on the continent.

At that time, not only the Four Top Forces but also Pulse Refining Masters from eleven major first-class forces who have reached the Heavenly Rank will participate. Many reclusive Old Monsters in refining will be attracted to set aside their duties and attend this Meridian Refining Conference.

Their purpose is simple, to vie for the first position on the Heaven Refining List, but even if they don’t claim the top spot, just showing their face at the conference might make them known throughout the Tenglong Continent.

”Vice Chairman Qian, are you suggesting that I participate in this Meridian Refining Conference?”

Yun Xiao guessed Qian Sanyuan’s intention immediately, asking directly, and then saw the expectant eyes of the three opposite him.

”Half a month later, the day of this year’s Meridian Refining Conference will begin. Don’t you want to compete with the top Pulse Refining Masters of the entire Tenglong Continent?”

Qian Sanyuan’s voice was filled with temptation. If he were truly a hot-blooded twenty-year-old young man, perhaps he would have agreed on impulse, but was Yun Xiao an ordinary young man full of vigor?

It’s important to know that Yun Xiao, the Long Xiao Battle God, was a peak Saint-grade Pulse Refiner in his previous life. Back in the days of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, his refinements were unparalleled.

The once Long Xiao Battle God had participated in countless refining contests in the Nine-layered Dragon Sky Refining Vein World, never tasting defeat, being acknowledged as the number one by the Nine-layered Dragon Sky Refining Vein World.

Therefore, in Yun Xiao’s view, this little Meridian Refining Conference to decide the top refiner on the Tenglong Continent seemed trivial to him, and unless there were substantial benefits, he wouldn’t participate lightly.

”What kind of rewards will there be for winning first place on that so-called Heaven Refining List?”

Yun Xiao differs greatly from ordinary talents. Hearing his cool and charismatic inquiry, Qian Sanyuan knew that his initial temptation had failed.

”Is this youngster truly just around twenty years old?”

Qian Sanyuan was deeply moved but didn’t keep more suspense at this moment. He said, ”You should remember the Refining Treasure Hall. Any Pulse Refiner belonging to Lianyun Mountain who ranks in the top three of the Heaven Refining List has the chance to enter the Refining Treasure Hall and seek treasure once!”

”The Refining Treasure Hall?”

Upon hearing these three words from Qian Sanyuan, Yun Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he instantly made a decision, clapping his hands together as he said, ”Alright, I’ll participate!”

Yun Xiao agreed so readily, causing Qian Sanyuan and the others to be slightly taken aback, but soon their faces showed delight, thinking that this time, those belonging to Lianyun Mountain would surely steal the spotlight.

To be honest, in the past, although Lianyun Mountain was known as the Holy Land for Pulse Refiners, with the absence of the ever-evasive President Shenlong, the achievements in the decennial Meridian Refining Conference were unsatisfactory.

After all, apart from Lu Yanji, the Meridian Refiner Association previously only had one Heavenly-grade Refiner, Qingmu Wu. Both Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng only recently broke through to the Heavenly-grade Pulse Refiner level in the past few years.

Take the previous Meridian Refining Conference, for example. The only one eligible to participate, Qingmu Wu, only secured third place in the Poison Vein branch, leaving the Meridian Refining Master Guild’s reputation somewhat tarnished.

Now, with the addition of Yun Xiao at Lianyun Mountain, there are four Heavenly-grade Pulse Refiners eligible to participate in the Meridian Refining Conference. This significantly increases the chances of securing first place, naturally making Qian Sanyuan and the others quite joyful.
