Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Now even I’m a bit curious about what type of elixir Xiaoqing has refined this time!”

Qian Sanyuan didn’t directly answer Ouyang Wuantong’s question but rather sighed, which was more of an explanation, leaving the two beside him even more puzzled.

What these two didn’t know was that the things Yun Xiao demonstrated at Lianyun Mountain even left Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu in admiration, naturally dispelling any doubts they might have had.

Whether it was the Poison Meridian Skill practice method Yun Xiao gifted to Liu Hanyi or the crisis he resolved for President Lu Yanji this time, it left the major figures of Lianyun Mountain viewing him with new eyes.

At present, they no longer consider Yun Xiao merely as a young prodigy; the means and experiences in his mind might be far superior to theirs.

Given Yun Xiao’s relationship with Mo Qing, gifting a recipe of a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Pill is no big deal.

Moreover, Qian Sanyuan and the others knew that any recipe Yun Xiao could gift to Mo Qing wasn’t likely to be something ordinary; since they didn’t know themselves, it was up to Mo Qing to reveal the answer.

Boom!

During their conversation, the first Pill Thunder from the thundercloud above Mo Qing’s head had already descended, striking directly into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Medicine Furnace, wreaking havoc upon the pill within that emitted a faint golden light.

From this pill, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu could sense a rich fire attribute aura mixed with a trace of gold attribute, appearing extremely mysterious.

Boom! Boom!

Moments later, two more Pill Thunders descended from the sky, causing the golden pill in the Eight Golden Locks to shine even more brilliantly, with a unique aura lingering within the furnace.

”It’s the fourth!”

As yet another adult-arm-thick lightning bolt descended from the sky, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

Clearly, the quality of the pill Mo Qing was refining had already surpassed Huang Guan’s Desire Clearing Pill and stood parallel with Xiao Shijing’s Quenching Cold Sealing Body Pill.

But when everyone saw the fourth lightning bolt ravaging, they carried a peculiar expectation: could this golden pill Mo Qing was refining actually summon a fifth Pill Thunder?

If this were true, then the Meridian Refining Conference’s Medical Pulse competition would truly be exceptional, with the rising prodigy stepping on established strongmen—exactly the spectacle everyone enjoyed watching.

And it seemed very possible now, as even after the fourth Pill Thunder descended, the thundercloud above didn’t dissipate and seemed to be brewing an even bigger storm.

”It’s coming! It’s coming!”

In one corner of the plaza, Ye Ku, the former number one prodigy of the Sky Poison Institute, watched the stirring thundercloud, murmuring excitedly, displaying the thrill in his heart.

Though Mo Qing belonged to the Heavenly Hospital, due to his connection with Yun Xiao, Ye Ku had some friendship with Mo Qing and naturally cheered for him, especially as Mo Qing represented Lianyun Mountain now.

Boom!

As if hearing Ye Ku’s inner voice under the gaze of all the Lianyun Mountain prodigies, the thundercloud finally parted, sending down the fifth Pill Thunder calamity.

”The fifth!”

The spectators, who had just gasped, now didn’t know what expression to use to convey their feelings; the black-clad young girl had indeed achieved what many established Heavenly Rank Low-Level Meridian Refiners hadn’t.

With the arrival of the fifth Pill Thunder, Mo Qing took the lead, pushing Xiao Shijing to second and Huang Guan to third.

Originally, Huang Guan’s achievement of refining a Desire Clearing Pill with three Pill Thunders was considered remarkable, but the appearance of the next two pills caused his rank to drop further.

Especially considering the girl who summoned five Pill Thunders with her refined pill was just in her twenties, the crowd’s admiration deepened.

This was completely unexpected to them; even President Qian Sanyuan felt compelled to stand up excitedly when the fifth Pill Thunder descended from above.

Qian Sanyuan even had a hunch that his newly Heavenly Rank disciple’s Meridian Refining skills might not be below his own anymore.

After all, the strongest pill Qian Sanyuan had ever refined only summoned four Pill Thunders; Mo Qing’s brilliance at this moment was unmatched.

At this moment, Qian Sanyuan felt deeply emotional in his heart, thinking that after this Meridian Refining Conference, he probably wouldn’t be able to be Mo Qing’s teacher anymore. What kind of logic is there for a teacher to be weaker than the student?

However, what Qian Sanyuan didn’t know was that if Yu Shu in some place knew his thoughts, he would probably feel the same, for his former disciple was now close to standing at the summit of the Tenglong Continent.

And as for Yu Shu who had joined Refining Cloud Mountain for several years, he remained only at the middle stage of the Earth Bending Realm in cultivation, and his Meridian Refining Technique had just broken through to the Earth Rank Middle Level. Compared to Yun Xiao, the difference was not just a little bit.

”So what exactly is that elixir?”

Compared to the people closely related to Mo Qing, more people were curious about how extraordinary the elixir that could attract five paths of Pill Thunder was.

Since that elixir could attract five paths of Pill Thunder, it showed its strength was even more formidable than Xiao Shijing’s Quenching Cold Sealing Body Pill, because Heavenly Dao Rules do not deceive, and the number of Pill Thunder can explain everything.

Ultimately, no sixth path of Pill Thunder descended. When Mo Qing received that golden glowing elixir into her hand, she did not say its name aloud, but rather shifted her gaze to a certain young man in rough clothing.

”Yun Xiao, thank you!”

A gentle whisper escaped Mo Qing’s lips. Ever since the early days at the Jade Pot Sect, she had deeply rooted her affection for Yun Xiao. Only the latter took her as a fellow sect senior sister, at most just a better friend.

After coming to the Tenglong Continent, Mo Qing buried this affection deep in her heart, focusing solely on cultivation, just not wanting the distance between herself and that guy to grow further apart, with no more chances for interaction.

Even now, Mo Qing had broken through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, yet she still understood that both her combat power and her Meridian Refining Technique were far below Yun Xiao’s, so she must work even harder.

The golden glowing elixir Mo Qing refined this moment, called the ”Pure Yang Limitless Pill,” was indeed a low level Heavenly Rank Pill Recipe given to her by Yun Xiao.

Though this kind of elixir was not very effective for ordinary cultivators, it was a supreme treasure for Mo Qing who possessed a Pure Yang Immortal Body. It could likely elevate her Meridian Qi cultivation by one level of a small realm.

Regarding Mo Qing’s affection, Yun Xiao, with the wisdom of living two lives, how could he not be aware? But his heart had long been entangled with Shen Xingmou, also having an endlessly tangled relationship with Xu Hongzhuang, making it impossible for him to spare more affection.

Therefore, Yun Xiao could only make compensations in these matters. Towards this senior sister who had cared for him back on the Hidden Dragon Continent, he already considered her as kin. What was gifting a low-level Heavenly Rank Pill Recipe?

However, even Yun Xiao himself did not expect Mo Qing to directly refine the Pure Yang Limitless Pill in such a significant alchemy contest during the Meridian Refining Conference.

At least priorly, in Yun Xiao’s perspective, given Mo Qing’s just-broken-through level of a Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Meridian Refiner, aiming to successfully refine the Pure Yang Limitless Pill, odds of success would not exceed fifty percent.

Yet Yun Xiao, originating from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, lacked understanding of the Pure Yang Immortal Body which was extremely rare even in the Li Yuan Realm. Perhaps precisely because of the desire of this constitution for the Pure Yang Limitless Pill, a certain power of augmentation emerged, enabling Mo Qing’s instant success.

Regardless, whether it was Yun Xiao or Mo Qing herself, they both couldn’t figure out this causality for the moment. Fortunately, the final outcome was comforting, and the Pure Yang Limitless Pill lived up to Mo Qing’s expectations, summoning five paths of Pill Thunder.

Thus, Mo Qing was temporarily the first in the field. If the elixirs refined by Gu Huashan and Yun Xiao could not summon five paths of Pill Thunder, then she would be the champion of this Meridian Refining Conference in the Medical Pulse path.

”Hmph, it’s merely five paths of Pill Thunder, watch my ’Soul-Melting Demon-Taming Pill’ emerge!”

While everyone was amazed by the descent of five paths of Pill Thunder, yet unaware of the elixir’s effects, a voice filled with slight sarcasm and some pride suddenly rang out, drawing everyone’s attention immediately.

”It’s Gu Huashan, but what kind of formidable elixir is that ’Soul-Melting Demon-Taming Pill’?”

All instantly noticed that the speaker was Huashan Old Monster. Yet the so-called Soul-Melting Demon-Taming Pill he spoke of was completely alien, never heard of before.

From the name of this elixir, it might relate to taming Vein Demons, but isn’t that typically the specialty of those Beast Vein Masters from Demons Mountain? Why was Gu Huashan also exercising this method?

Above the skies where Gu Huashan was located, a large patch of dark clouds had already gathered unbeknownst sometime ago. Clearly, the low level Heavenly Rank elixir he refined this time was finally taking shape.

”Listening to this old guy’s tone, could he even summon six paths of Pill Thunder?”

In the location where Refining Cloud Mountain’s talents gathered, Si Mo smirked, as a disciple of Refining Cloud Mountain, he naturally chose to support Mo Qing completely just like Ye Ku.

Moreover, regarding the feud between Yun Xiao and this Gu Huashan, Si Mo had heard some tales. Therefore, from the subconscious, he couldn’t stand Huashan Old Monster and secretly cursed his refined elixir to be shattered by the thunder.

Yet such thoughts were merely Si Mo’s wishful thinking. Because after he voiced curses, a great boom descended from the sky, sending down the first path of Pill Thunder, accurately striking into the medicine furnace called Swallowing Cloud and Spitting Smoke.
