Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The investigation by the Shenxiao Sect wasn’t just uneventful; the findings were enough to shock even Ouyang Wuantong, the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect.

When considered individually, each of these deeds might seem insignificant, but when they all emerge from one person, they become quite extraordinary.

Even the events surrounding Yun Xiao on the Hidden Dragon Continent have been uncovered by Shenxiao Sect through certain intelligence systems, given that Yun Xiao’s name has now become a legend on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Yun Xiao, who can be considered the foremost individual on the Hidden Dragon Continent, remains dazzling even upon arriving at the Tenglong Continent. Ouyang Wuantong has every reason to believe that this young man will certainly become a significant figure on the Tenglong Continent in the future.

And how could such a person make such a low-level mistake?

Ouyang Wuantong thought, even those of them who are not Meridian Refining Masters can see it; there’s no reason Yun Xiao himself wouldn’t be able to see it, right?

It must be said that this leader of Shenxiao Sect has seen much and thus thinks deeply. At this moment, his thoughts are clearer than those of Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng, perhaps verifying the old saying that ”the onlooker sees most clearly.”

Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng regard Yun Xiao too highly and also care too much about the reputation of the Meridian Refining Master Association. Their first thought was about the possible consequences of Yun Xiao’s actions, without considering that this young man never fights battles he can’t win.

”Hmph, I thought this little bastard had some skills, but he turned out to be nothing but a flashy pillow, unworthy of being an opponent of mine, Gu Huashan!”

Apart from the Northern big shots constantly paying attention to Yun Xiao, as a potential rival, Huashan Old Monster often glanced at the coarse-clothed youth, and upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but sneer.

To speak of luck, Huashan Old Monster was the first to select a patient earlier, and indeed his luck was good, as he chose an ailment he had encountered before. Hence, he treated it with ease and had the leisure to observe Yun Xiao’s movements.

Huashan Old Monster is somewhat reclusive, though his mentality is not particularly admirable, even less so when compared to the benevolence of medical practitioners like Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng.

Patients who approached Huashan Old Monster for treatment often had to pay him dearly, but when life is at stake, what do possessions mean, anyway? They could only willingly be extorted.

Nevertheless, Huashan Old Monster’s Medical Pulse Technique is indeed superb, and he’s not one who takes money without getting things done. Comparatively speaking, even in the Medical Vein, neither Qian Sanyuan nor Guan Rufeng might be his match.

Previously, the one Huashan Old Monster most feared was the Vice President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, Qian Sanyuan. Particularly since Guan Rufeng had just broken through to the Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Master less than a year ago; he didn’t consider him worthy of attention at all.

Unexpectedly, none of the older generation Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Masters from the Meridian Refining Master Association attended this Meridian Refining Conference, instead, only sending a few immature boys and girls. This left Huashan Old Monster feeling somewhat disrespected.

Hence, Huashan Old Monster’s greatest rival has now shifted his focus to Qihuang Saint Hand Xiao Shijing, believing only this person might be the greatest barrier to achieving the championship.

As for Yun Xiao, Huashan Old Monster hadn’t paid too much attention initially, even though he had some concerns about the former’s Meridian Qi Cultivation Combat Power, but the Meridian Refining Technique holds little connection to Meridian Qi warfare.

Nevertheless, when he realized Yun Xiao surprisingly intended to participate in both the medical and poison challenges, Huashan Old Monster couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease, or rather some level of attention from the depths of his heart.

Thus, amid relaxation, aside from scrutinizing the location where Xiao Shijing stood, Huashan Old Monster’s gaze occasionally fell on Yun Xiao’s movements, unwittingly witnessing such a scene that nearly made him laugh his teeth loose.

Like Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng, Huashan Old Monster had been instilled with numerous inviolable truths by his teacher since activating the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein and starting to practice the Meridian Refining Technique.

One of them states that the Death Gate Acupoint must never be casually touched; once touched, one is sure to die, and the Shock Gate Acupoint is also much the same. These two vital acupoints are almost seen as taboo by Medical Pulse Masters.

Yet that youth named Yun Xiao, at first, pointed systematically at the various acupoints of the governor and conception vessels, but suddenly the style changed, as if he was going to directly kill the patient.

”No hope!”

Seeing Yun Xiao touching the two critical acupoints of the patient before him, Huashan Old Monster sneered, already having sentenced the patient to death, for he had never seen a human cultivator touched by the Death Gate Acupoint survive.

Moreover, Yun Xiao’s touch was not a light one; it was a heavy-handed point, and under such circumstances, if that patient could still not die, Huashan Old Monster could wager to twist his own head off to kick as a ball.

Originally believing this opponent might somewhat threaten him, Huashan Old Monster unexpectedly found that the Meridian Refining Technique of this Yun Xiao kid had no comparison whatsoever to his Meridian Qi Cultivation Combat Power, like a silver-tipped wax gun, all style and no substance.

Apart from the Northern big shots and Huashan Old Monster, the eyes of the onlookers were also mostly focused on Yun Xiao, and upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but sigh and shake their heads.

No matter how famous the name of the shabby-clothed young man was, no matter how many major events he had accomplished at the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield and Impermanence Island, those achievements merely indicated Yun Xiao’s remarkable Meridian Qi combat power.

As for Yun Xiao’s Meridian Refining Technique, even a genius like Nie Xiaosheng from the Shenxiao Sect knew only about the Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection conference of the past, and the Xuanyin Palace Master’s daughter’s Innate Pulse Cutting condition.

Nowadays, it’s a Meridian Refining Conference for Heavenly Rank Meridian Refiners, yet upon personally witnessing it, Yun Xiao seemed to mess things up right from the start.

The spectators who came to watch the Meridian Refining Conference were either powerful meridian refiners or dignified figures from various prominent forces, naturally possessing superior insight.

They were well aware of the ironclad rule known even to Spiritual and Mortal ranks, that once the Death Gate acupoint is struck, there is no possibility of survival, especially since Yun Xiao also hit the patient’s Shock Gate acupoint.

The crowd sighed inwardly, realizing that the fellow named Yun Xiao merely had impressive fighting power, and his Meridian Refining skills could not compare with those of Heavenly Rank meridian refiners.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Yun Xiao’s name was so renowned, but if he were to fail in the first round, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

However, these cultivators and meridian refiners from the Tenglong Continent were unaware of the methods of the Dragon Cloud Battle God. Yun Xiao’s current techniques were indeed astonishing, but he dared to use them only because he was absolutely certain.

Regardless of being an undying Poison Vein Master, Yun Xiao was also a Medical Pulse Master, possessing both the ruthlessness of a Poison Vein Master and the benevolence of a Medical Pulse Master.

At least towards these unrelated and innocent patients, Yun Xiao would never joke with their lives. The reason he employed such unconventional means was to save as much time as possible in curing them.

The saying goes that extraordinary people do extraordinary things; Yun Xiao’s methods seemed outrageous, yet everything was under his control, and what would happen next was sure to astonish everyone.

The Death Gate and Shock Gate acupoints were indeed vital points, but their effects were not limited to merely leading someone to death.

The Nine-layered Dragon Cloud’s research on the human body’s acupoints far surpassed that of the Tenglong Continent, not to mention that the Dragon Cloud Battle God of his previous life stood at the top of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Meridian Refining World.

If only the Death Gate or Shock Gate acupoint were struck, the patient wouldn’t survive, but with Yun Xiao previously striking multiple points along the governor and conception vessels, the resulting reaction was extraordinary.

Additionally, the patient’s own illness made his Death Gate and Shock Gate acupoints significantly different from those of ordinary cultivators, which was the real reason Yun Xiao dared to take such a risk.

For ordinary people, a touch on the Death Gate or Shock Gate acupoints might cause paralysis or death, but the patient before him was already critically ill, his whole body’s meridians shrunk, leading to the acupoints being forcibly blocked.

Thus, outsiders saw Yun Xiao striking the Death Gate and Shock Gate with force, not realizing Yun Xiao was using them as a key to connect multiple acupoints of the governor and conception vessels.

”Activate the formation!”

When Yun Xiao withdrew his finger from the patient’s two major acupoints, he simultaneously let out a low shout, followed by a burst of extremely powerful energy from the patient’s body.

”What’s happening?”

The onlookers, who originally thought the patient was certainly doomed after the two major Death Gate acupoints were struck, suddenly sensed this energy surge, which nearly caused their eyeballs to pop out of their sockets.

Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng in the north were left with their mouths agape, unable to believe what they were witnessing, while Ouyang Wuantong and Li Yunfan behind them displayed similar expressions.

Even though Ouyang Wuantong had begun to suspect something peculiar, he had not anticipated the effect to be so immediate, sensing the energy surge with utmost clarity.

”No! This can’t be!”

Compared to these cultivators and meridian refiners who were not competitors, Huashan Old Monster Gu Huashan, who had just declared the patient dead, almost had his old face split open, speaking in a suppressed, incredulous tone.

So agitated was Gu Huashan that he almost lost control of his actions, jeopardizing his rescue attempts, but as a Heavenly Rank Low Level Medical Pulse Master, he barely steadied himself, internally overwhelmed by shock.

Gu Huashan couldn’t figure out for the life of him why, after having struck acupoints long considered death points—the Death Gate and Shock Gate—was that individual not only alive but also bursting with energy at this moment?
