Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The Meridian Refining Masters participating in the inspection of the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill were quickly selected. Besides Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan, whom Gu Huashan had proposed, as well as Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan from Lianyun Mountain, there were also three highly respected Heavenly Rank Low Level Medical Pulse Masters.

However, to Yun Xiao, he naturally did not know those three Medical Pulse Masters, but since they could be jointly recommended by everyone to act as witnesses, it was obvious that even though they had not broken into this second round, their status on the Tenglong Continent was definitely anything but ordinary.

”Hmph, I don’t believe you, brat, can really refine a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill!”

Song Qiuchan naturally hated Yun Xiao to the bone, and at this moment she was the first to step forward. The cold snort from her mouth sounded almost identical to Gu Huashan’s just now.

”I suppose you’re not going to use this chance for personal revenge, right?”

As for this defeated opponent, Yun Xiao had not the slightest scruple. As he spoke with that half-smile, he had already stretched out his right hand, passing the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill he held over to her.

Although this woman had a deep blood feud with him, Yun Xiao knew very clearly that at a time like this, Song Qiuchan would not dare to play any tricks.

If Song Qiuchan dared to tamper with it, not only would Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu never let her off, even the other three Heavenly Rank Low Level Medical Pulse Masters, for the sake of maintaining their own authority, would absolutely not allow her to act recklessly.

This move of Yun Xiao’s also made the corner of Gu Huashan’s eye twitch slightly in the distance. Letting Song Qiuchan be the first to inspect clearly showed he had full confidence in the Elixir he had refined. Gu Huashan’s last shred of hope was undoubtedly growing increasingly faint.

”Hmph!”

Taking the Elixir from Yun Xiao’s hand, Song Qiuchan snorted coldly again, but the instant she touched that Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, she no longer had the mind to think about anything else.

”This... really is a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill, and this kind of energy... it’s simply too vast!”

Of course, Song Qiuchan did not say these words aloud, but in her heart huge waves were already surging, and there was even an extreme heat and greed.

Because Song Qiuchan sensed very clearly that this was indeed a Supreme Elixir that had just come out of the furnace for no more than 15 minutes. The energy contained within it would allow her to directly break through to the Floating Life Realm Peak without the slightest problem.

It was just that Song Qiuchan understood that using the energy in this Elixir merely to aid her in breaking through from the Floating Life Realm Late Stage to the Floating Life Realm Early Stage was far too stingy, and far too wasteful.

From the obscure aura hidden within the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, Song Qiuchan also had a kind of insight she had never possessed before. This kind of insight was a qualitative elevation, completely different from the accumulation of Meridian Qi.

With Song Qiuchan’s intelligence, she naturally knew that such insight was actually the opportunity for the Floating Life Realm to break through to the Lingyun Realm. Within this Elixir, there was definitely a Sealing of the Heavenly Dao Rules for breaking through to the Lingyun Realm.

Perhaps this was the true reason a Floating Life Realm expert could forcibly break through to the Lingyun Realm. It was not merely the power of the seven strands of Pill Thunder, but also the bestowal of rules from the Heavenly Dao when a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill was born.

The so-called Life-breaking is to break through Fusheng, ascend to the clouds and fly into the sky, thereby reaching a higher level and overlooking all beings. This is the capital that allows a Lingyun Realm expert to stand proudly over the Continent.

Yet Song Qiuchan, who held the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill in her hand, could only faintly sense that vague insight. After staring at the Elixir for a long time, she finally became aware of a certain fact.

She knew clearly that only by swallowing this Elixir into her body could she truly sense that Lingyun Realm Heavenly Dao Enlightenment and thus break through in one stroke, and that merely holding the Elixir in her hand would absolutely not have much effect.

”It really is... freshly refined!”

No matter how unwilling Song Qiuchan was to accept this fact, at this point she could not blatantly lie with her eyes open, for besides her as an inspector, there were still six others.

Of course, Song Qiuchan did not dare to play any tricks at a time like this either. She knew that the moment she made a move, she would probably be killed on the spot by the combined hands of Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu over there before she could even do anything.

If it had been in the past, even if Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan joined forces, Song Qiuchan might not have had much fear. But now that Yun Xiao had severed one of her arms, her strength was already far inferior to before.

What made Song Qiuchan even more fearful was this seemingly harmless young man before her. She knew very clearly just how ruthless this fellow was; with the slightest carelessness, her little life might well be forfeited here.

Compared to her own life, nothing else held the slightest weight. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late in ten years. At least for the present Song Qiuchan, it was already impossible to seek revenge on Yun Xiao for that severed arm.

”Damn it!”

As soon as Song Qiuchan said this, Gu Huashan’s expression could not help turning incomparably gloomy. He cursed secretly in his heart, then saw Song Qiuchan pass the Elixir in her hand to a certain Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Refiner beside her.

”Inspection shows no issue; it has just been refined!”

”No issue!”

”No issue!”

”...”

Including Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan, after Song Qiuchan, the five Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Masters all examined it one by one, and the answers they gave were exactly the same, making Gu Huashan’s face grow darker and darker.

This was already Gu Huashan’s last straw, and now even this straw was about to be snapped in half. He only felt that the Medical Pulse champion of this Meridian Refining Conference was drifting farther and farther away from him.

”Vice Chairman Lu, take a look!”

Qian Sanyuan, full of emotion, held the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill in his hand and passed it over to Lu Tianwen not far beside him, not worried in the slightest that this fellow would play any tricks.

This was Lianyun Mountain’s home ground; even if Lu Tian hated Yun Xiao to the bone, he would at least have to finish participating in this Meridian Refining Conference first. Otherwise, not to mention that his final qualification might be stripped, it was uncertain whether he could even leave here in one piece.

”Mm!”

At this moment, Lu Tianwen’s expression was unusually calm, as if he had completely forgotten the blood feud of his brother’s death at Yun Xiao’s hands. He simply let out a light grunt, reached out, and took that Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill.

”This pill...”

Just like Song Qiuchan, the instant Lu Tianwen’s fingers touched the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, he was shocked by the strange energy within it, and he simply couldn’t bear to let go.

Especially compared to Song Qiuchan, Lu Tianwen was a genuine Floating Life Realm Peak expert; for him, this Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill was without doubt the most suitable.

Right now, Lu Tianwen even had an impulse to swallow this Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill on the spot without caring about anything else. If he did that, he could break through to the Lingyun Realm Early Stage without any more worries.

Fortunately, Lu Tianwen still retained a final sliver of rationality. He knew the consequences of doing that: not only might he fail the breakthrough, he could also be hacked to pieces by the many powerhouses of Lianyun Mountain.

After all, a breakthrough could not be completed in an instant; at the very least it would take several hours, or even several days. During that period, Lu Tianwen would have no strength to fight back at all.

”The inspection shows no problem. It is indeed a freshly refined pill!”

Forcefully suppressing the mad thoughts in his heart, Lu Tianwen spoke with an extremely calm expression. As his words fell, there was no longer the slightest objection to the Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill refined this time by Yun Xiao.

By the side, Gu Huashan’s face had already sunk so dark that it seemed water could drip from it. This was a flaw he had managed to find with great difficulty, yet in the end he was still slapped in the face.

At this moment, Gu Huashan couldn’t help but even start hating Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan as well. You two fellows, aren’t you always saying that you have a blood feud with Yun Xiao for killing your brother and cutting off your arm? How is it that when the moment comes, you don’t even have the courage to destroy a single pill?

Someone like Gu Huashan would never search for the problem in himself; he would only shift all the blame onto others.

For example right now, Gu Huashan himself was too timid to make a move, yet he blamed Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan for not daring to seek revenge. This kind of resentful, blame-shifting mindset was really unmatched.

However, after examining the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, Lu Tianwen did not hand it back to Yun Xiao. Instead, he pondered for a moment before carefully opening his mouth.

”Yun Xiao, can you sell this Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill to me? As long as it’s a condition you can name, I believe my Douling Commerce can afford it.”

Just as the people in the field were still mulling things over, Lu Tianwen, without any hesitation, spoke again directly. What he said was almost exactly the same as what the Wang Family Patriarch had just said.

However, compared to the Wang Family, which had yet to be counted among the three great families, the name of Douling Commerce was far more resounding. As Vice President of the Commerce, Lu Tianwen had the confidence to say such words.

After all, Lu Tianwen knew that if Douling Commerce could gain one more Lingyun Realm expert, the President would probably not hesitate too much.

The pill in his hand, this Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, was undoubtedly such an opportunity. Even if they had to trade a third of Douling Commerce’s assets for it, it would still not be a loss.

In Lu Tianwen’s view, Yun Xiao was still a youth at heart, with only Floating Life Realm Middle Stage cultivation at present. He did not have an urgent need for this Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill. As long as Lu Tianwen offered a suitable price, there was still a chance to obtain this Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill.

In the face of a Heaven-defying pill that could help him break through to the Lingyun Realm, Lu Tianwen selectively forgot the blood feud of his brother’s death between him and Yun Xiao; he only wanted to raise his strength as quickly as possible.

By the time he broke through to the Lingyun Realm level and then came to seek revenge on Yun Xiao, wouldn’t he be even more confident?

Lu Tianwen’s thoughts wandered far. As soon as he spoke, after a brief start, the crowd all showed strange expressions, secretly thinking that this Vice President of Douling Commerce had his mind clouded by the effects of the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, right?

Anyone with a normal mind would probably never sell such a guaranteed strength-enhancing pill to their enemy. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to helping forge an even stronger foe for themselves?

Even Yun Xiao himself couldn’t figure out which nerve in Lu Tianwen’s head had misfired. This guy actually wanted to buy the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill from him—wasn’t that just treating him like an idiot?
