Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Big brother, are you there?”

While Yun Xiao was familiarizing himself with his second Wind Attribute Ancestor Veins, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the room, bringing a smile to his face as he leapt up from the bed and opened the door.

Standing outside was a chubby little fellow, Ling Wan, who had followed Yun Xiao from the Hidden Dragon Continent. But at this moment, Ling Wan’s aura was quite different from what it was seven days ago.

”Early Stage of Floating Life, not bad!”

With Yun Xiao’s power of the soul, he naturally sensed Ling Wan’s current Meridian Qi cultivation immediately, nodded with a sense of gratification.

Seven days ago, after Yun Xiao broke through to the Middle Stage of Floating Life, he helped Liu Hanyi Mo Qing and Ling Wan find the opportunity to break through again.

Now seeing Ling Wan here, Yun Xiao was somewhat speculative, thinking that this chubby one’s Mixed Element One Qi Body seemed to break through in a shorter period. The other two women should still be in the process of breaking through.

”Thanks to big brother!”

Ling Wan scratched his head with a sincere look, always grateful to this big brother. If it weren’t for Yun Xiao, he might have been long dead on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Because of the Mixed Element One Qi Body, Ling Wan was not favored by his kin since birth, even his father and elder brother tried every possible way to get rid of him.

It was this big brother called Yun Xiao who rescued Ling Wan from a dire situation, allowing him not only to shine on the Hidden Dragon Continent for a while, but now also to be famous on the Tenglong Continent.

After the battle on Impermanence Island, who doesn’t know the name of the ”One-shot Saint Son” from Xuanyin Hall on Tenglong Continent, a peerless genius who could contend with low-level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits.

Now that Ling Wan has broken through to the early stage of Floating Life, both his Meridian Qi cultivation and the power of Mixed Element One Qi Body must have greatly improved, ten times stronger than during the Impermanence Island incident.

”Why be so distant when we’re brothers?”

Yun Xiao waved his hand upon hearing this, then glanced at his shoulder with a peculiar smile and said, ”Chi Yan, seems to be searching for some Fire Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures again, the elders in charge of these treasures on Refining Cloud Mountain must be having headaches!”

Thinking of Chi Yan’s nature, Yun Xiao speculated. But with his current status in Refining Cloud Mountain, as long as Chi Yan doesn’t cause too much trouble, those elders will certainly give him Yun Xiao some face.

”Big brother, have you heard of the Heaven Refining List?”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Ling Wan’s mind already shifted to another level, mysteriously speaking, apparently due to some recent anomalies at Refining Cloud Mountain that led him to inquire.

”Yes, I have already signed up!”

Yun Xiao nodded, which made Ling Wan slightly stunned.

When he came over, one of his purposes was to remind this big brother to participate in the Meridian Refining Conference, unexpectedly Yun Xiao knew earlier than him.

”Big brother, this period is very lively in the Refining Cloud Mountain, I heard there’s a trading conference, why don’t we join in?”

That was Ling Wan’s second purpose, truth be told, during this period, because Yun Xiao was in a coma for two months, along with his own breakthrough, he was really feeling bored.

Of course, Ling Wan is not one to indulge in leisure; the main reason being that after breaking through to the early stage of Floating Life, he felt his Mixed Element One Qi Body reaching a bottleneck, seemingly needing some external stimulus to advance further.

”You want to check out the trading conference to see if there’s any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Mixed Element Grass?”

As the one who activated Ling Wan’s Mixed Element One Qi Body, Yun Xiao surely knew his thoughts. In fact, when he sensed Ling Wan’s breakthrough aura, he detected some other things.

Refining Cloud Mountain undoubtedly has abundant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but Ling Wan is not a disciple of the Meridian Refining Master Association, not even part of a top force like Xuanyin Hall, even if Yun Xiao has a big face, some things are still restricted.

Besides, Ling Wan is not as thick-skinned as Chi Yan, he can’t rely on Yun Xiao being his big brother and act recklessly at the Refining Cloud Mountain Headquarters.

This time, with the upcoming Meridian Refining Conference, Ling Wan had an alternative choice, he has gradually risen in Xuanyin Hall over the years, his wealth is also quite substantial.

Moreover, during the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, Ling Wan acquired many Strange Spirit Crystals. On Tenglong Continent, sometimes Strange Spirit Crystals are more valuable than gold coins.

”Hey, I’m just afraid I won’t recognize the treasures. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease!”

Perhaps this is the real reason Ling Wan wanted to bring Yun Xiao along. After all, he knew in his heart that even compared to identifying Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the true Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Masters of Lianyun Mountain might not be as precise as a mere glance from his big brother.

”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

Yun Xiao would naturally not refuse the invitation from his life-and-death brother. After all, in the past seven days, he had already familiarized himself with his Meridian Qi cultivation at the middle stage of the Floating Life Realm, and had nothing else to do. He might as well go out for a stroll.

At present, Yun Xiao and Ling Wan quietly left the Meridian Refining Master Association without disturbing anyone, heading towards Lianyun Mountain. Yun Xiao was extremely familiar with the location of that trade fair.

Back when he came to Lianyun Mountain to participate in the disciple selection, it was at that trade fair where he met his teacher Yu Shu from the Hidden Dragon Continent, and ended up forming a grudge with Li Gongnian of the Douling Commerce.

Nowadays, after joining the Meridian Refining Master Association, Yu Shu’s Meridian Qi cultivation and Meridian Refining Technique had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although still far from Yun Xiao’s level, he was a figure highly regarded by many Elders within the Association.

As for that once-talented member of the Douling Commerce, his bones had long since grown cold. Reflecting on these matters, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time.

The two moved quickly, and within half a day, they had arrived at the bustling trade fair. This time, the excitement was even greater than before.

After all, compared to the disciple selection of Lianyun Mountain, which only attracted the younger generation, this Meridian Refining Conference was a grand event for contending for the rankings on the Heaven Refining List.

Not only top forces and first-class forces sent their Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Masters en masse, but even some reclusive old monsters couldn’t resist the temptation to become the number one in Meridian Refining and wanted to showcase their skills at Lianyun Mountain.

These Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Masters all knew that the President of Lianyun Mountain had not participated in the recent Meridian Refining Conferences, so even though he was recognized as the top Meridian Refining Master of the Tenglong Continent, the top position on the Heaven Refining List did not belong to Lu Yanji.

Many might have had second thoughts about competing in Meridian Refining Techniques with Lu Yanji, and if he participated, those reclusive old monsters might not have been so ambitious.

But firstly, Lu Yanji would not participate in such a Meridian Refining Conference, and secondly, he was an extremely older figure, so acknowledging his position was not a shameful thing.

As it was, the decennial Meridian Refining Conference attracted an endless stream of Meridian Refining Masters; you might have never heard of many of them before, yet they could achieve very advanced positions in the end.

With seven or eight days remaining until the start of the Meridian Refining Conference, some genuine Heavenly-grade Pulse Refining Masters might not have arrived early, but there was no shortage of cultivators from the Continent, or countless lower-level Meridian Refining Masters.

The Meridian Refining Conference wasn’t closed off. As long as you secured a good spot, you could witness many Heavenly-grade Meridian Refining Masters showcasing their technique, which would be of immense help to you.

Especially for some at the Earth-rank level, they might receive a hint of inspiration from the techniques manifested by those Heavenly-grade Masters, enabling them to break through decades-long stagnations in their own Meridian Refining Techniques.

Therefore, when Yun Xiao and Ling Wan arrived at the trade fair, they were greeted with a bustling scene, with voices crying out in sales, bargaining incessantly, echoing one after another.

Due to the impending Meridian Refining Conference, the trade fair became extraordinarily lively. From Yun Xiao’s perspective, the scale had grown several times larger than before.

Whether it was those setting up stalls or those searching for treasures, their numbers had increased severalfold. Looking at the vibrant and bustling scene, Yun Xiao thought that an entire day might not be enough to explore the whole place.

”Let’s split up. If you find something you’re unsure about, come find me!”

As Yun Xiao spoke, he injected a soul mark into Ling Wan’s hand. This was a unique ability attained after reaching the Heavenly-grade Soul. If Ling Wan wanted to find him, he only needed to crush the soul mark.

Regarding Ling Wan’s safety, Yun Xiao did not worry in the slightest. After all, the former was now a veritable powerhouse at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm, capable of traversing the entire Tenglong Continent unhindered.

At that point, the two parted ways, quickly blending into the mass of people. From that moment on, Yun Xiao’s gaze turned to the numerous stalls around, searching for any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures suitable for himself or Ling Wan.

Although Yun Xiao was a famous figure on the Tenglong Continent, not many had actually seen him, and those who did were of very high status.

The lower-level cultivators at the trade fair had no idea such a prominent figure was among them.

If they found out that this handsome young man was the legendary Yun Xiao, who knew if this grand trade fair would descend into chaos?

But Yun Xiao paid no mind to such matters. He leisurely strolled towards the depths of the trade fair, and before long, his attention was caught by something at one of the stalls.
