Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Having refined a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill, why should I cry, shouldn’t I laugh?”

Yun Xiao’s mood at this moment was undoubtedly excellent, and hearing his words, Mo Qing felt both worried and proud in her heart. After all, this was the man she admired!

With such brilliance, who wouldn’t be convinced?

Back on the Hidden Dragon Continent, it was due to Yun Xiao’s remarkable performances that Mo Qing became infatuated. Now arriving at the Tenglong Continent after several years, this young man had once again grown into the most dazzling one here.

”Hmph, now let’s see what that Huashan Old Monster has to say.”

While holding Yun Xiao, Mo Qing turned her gaze towards Gu Huashan, whose face was extremely gloomy. It seemed that this old fellow had repeatedly made things difficult for Yun Xiao, which was intolerable, even for someone with a good temperament like her.

”A mere Huashan Old Monster is nothing. What we should truly pay attention to is Lu Tianwen from the Spirit Fighting Commerce!”

Yun Xiao didn’t even glance at Gu Huashan, instead focusing on Lu Tianwen, who hadn’t yet engaged in the final battle. There was a peculiar gleam in his eyes.

”Lu Tianwen?”

Hearing this, Mo Qing was slightly taken aback, glancing at the Vice President of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, then asked with confusion, ”Shouldn’t your Poison Meridian Skill be stronger than the Medical Pulse Technique? Why fear him?”

This was the reason for Mo Qing’s perplexity at Yun Xiao’s words. Knowing Yun Xiao for years, she was aware that his accomplishments in the Poison Meridian Skill were even more astonishing than in the Medical Pulse Technique.

Mo Qing had reason to believe that even if Lu Tianwen truly broke through to the Heavenly Rank Intermediate Poison Vein Master level, he might not be Yun Xiao’s match, let alone being just a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Poison Vein Master.

In Mo Qing’s view, among the five who advanced to the final battle in the Poison Meridian Path, perhaps only Liu Hanyi could compare with Yun Xiao, given that the poison meridian genius possessed an Innate Poison Body.

Though Lu Tianwen’s name was prominent, Mo Qing didn’t hold him in high regard. Yet, Yun Xiao’s serious mention of him puzzled her.

”Just watch, things aren’t as simple as you think!”

Yun Xiao wouldn’t draw conclusions before facts appeared. As his light words were heard, the violent breakthrough energy on a certain spot in the square finally began to calm.

”Hahaha, today, I enter Lingyun!”

As the dust settled, a hearty laugh rang out from the square, followed by the Sky Poison Institute’s dean standing tall.

Upon hearing Qingmu Wu’s resounding laughter and sensing the distinct fluctuation of his aura, many people’s eyes showed fervor, even endless envy.

Especially those strong enough to reach Floating Life Realm’s late stage or peak, even the Spirit Fighting Commerce’s Vice President Lu Tianwen’s gaze flickered.

These emotions were not only directed at Qingmu Wu, who broke through to the early stage of Lingyun Realm, but also at the fiery efficacy of Yun Xiao’s Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill.

Previously, neither ordinary cultivators nor Meridian Refining Masters had heard of the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill, let alone its heaven-defying effects.

Cultivation is about defying the heavens. Now, with just one pill, the act of defying the heavens was made so convenient. Who wouldn’t be excited?

It was conceivable that once reaching Floating Life Realm’s peak, a single Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill could ensure a breakthrough to the early stage of Lingyun Realm — this was beyond doubt.

Thus, at this moment, even those jealous cultivators cast flattering glances at Yun Xiao. Perhaps from this point on, they would not show him any disrespect.

Particularly those cultivators who reached the Heavenly Rank knew well that they might someday seek Yun Xiao for help. The lure of breaking through to Lingyun Realm was such that they would not hesitate to spend their fortunes.

A family or sect possessing a strong Lingyun Realm fighter could instantly rise to first-class status without ranking too low. After all, the three great families lacked strong Lingyun Realm fighters.

In this way, Yun Xiao’s value surpassed even his own meridian Qi combat prowess; he became a unique entity capable of producing strong fighters, someone whom numerous great sects would humbly associate with.

Even Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng on the side wore smiles of honor, causing envy on the faces of Ouyang Wuantong and Li Yunfan nearby.

”This Lianyun Mountain really struck gold!”

Ouyang Wuantong expressed immense emotion, secretly wondering how Lianyun Mountain’s luck could be so good — a few hundred years ago, they produced the extraordinary Lu Yanji, and now, Yun Xiao.

As the sect leader of the Shenxiao Sect, Ouyang Wantong clearly knew how dazzling Yun Xiao, who could refine a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pill and even assist someone in breaking through, would become.

With such a genius capable of refining Heavenly Rank Intermediate Pills at Lianyun Mountain, the future Meridian Refining Master Association would undoubtedly soar to the top among the four major forces, reigning supreme over the Hidden Dragon Continent.

”I really wonder what kind of expressions Wei Duzheng and Wu Zhukong will have upon hearing today’s events?”

Standing by, Li Yunfan couldn’t help but think of another aspect. He was well aware that Yun Xiao held deep grudges against those two top forces.

Regarding the events that transpired on Impermanence Island, Li Yunfan and the other giants naturally knew the details well. All of it was the doing of those two forces’ leaders, and Yun Xiao couldn’t be blamed at all.

Since then, Li Yunfan had some resentment toward the two top forces, and as Lingyun Island, one of the twin islands, was isolated overseas and situated within a large array, Li Yunfan did not fear offending those two forces.

”Indeed, now I am a bit worried about those two old fellows, haha!”

Ouyang Wantong, usually reserved in expressing his opinions, joined in Li Yunfan’s mockery, which made Qian Sanyuan, Guan Rufeng, and other elders of Lianyun Mountain feel even more delighted.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixated on Qingmu Wu, knowing that from today onward, the Tenglong Continent would have an additional peak Lingyun Realm expert.

”Master Yun, I am deeply grateful. In the future, should you have any commands, I, Qingmu, will not hesitate to follow!”

While everyone was watching Qingmu Wu, they saw the dean of the Sky Poison Institute turn and stride forward to a certain young man in plain clothes, bowing to the ground.

The dignified dean of the Sky Poison Institute, a legitimate Early Stage Lingyun Realm expert, showing such respect to a young man in his early twenties was a scene that left everyone around the square stunned.

”Master Yun?!”

Even the many geniuses or stewards of the Sky Poison Institute felt they were seeing things. The usually prideful dean behaving like this was unimaginable.

Perhaps only Qian Sanyuan, Liu Hanyi, and others understood that Qingmu Wu’s bow was not just for helping him break through today but also for the cultivation method of the Poison Meridian Technique.

Although the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill played a significant role in Qingmu Wu’s breakthrough today, there was also a smaller part attributed to the poison meridian cultivation method.

Despite Qingmu Wu being one of the top Poison Vein Masters on the Tenglong Continent, the poison meridian method he practiced before was nothing compared to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Cultivation Method from Yun Xiao’s past life memories. It was incomparable.

Since obtaining that cultivation method, Qingmu Wu felt he had opened a new door to the Poison Meridian Technique, with some techniques and methods he had never heard of in his life.

Thus, over the years, Qingmu Wu’s Meridian Qi Cultivation and proficiency in the Poison Meridian Technique advanced rapidly, reaching a peak today.

Both the Poison Meridian Technique and the Seven Thunders Life-Breaking Pill that helped in today’s breakthrough were inseparable from Yun Xiao.

At least in Qingmu Wu’s mind, his identity as the dean of the Sky Poison Institute was nothing compared to the young but extraordinary man before him, deserving of his respect.

At this moment, the entire square fell silent, with everyone dumbfoundedly watching the young man being knelt to by Qingmu Wu, thinking that from now on, that youth, Yun Xiao, could be called the number one person at Lianyun Mountain, aside from the President.

”Dean Qing, no need to be courteous. Perhaps there will be a time to trouble you later, so please be prepared!”

After a period of recovery, Yun Xiao had regained some strength, quickly stepping forward to help Qingmu Wu up, forming some confusion with his latter two sentences that puzzled both Qingmu Wu and Mo Qing.

Nevertheless, Qingmu Wu did not question further. He bowed again to Yun Xiao and, disregarding the curious gazes of the onlookers, returned to his position with strides.

Back here, Qingmu Wu naturally received congratulations from Ouyang Wantong, Li Yunfan, and others, while responding with an undertone of Meridian Qi, although he didn’t understand Yun Xiao’s earlier words, he did not slack off.

”Yun Xiao, can you hold on?”

After congratulating Qingmu Wu, Qian Sanyuan turned, looking at the young man with somewhat disturbed breath, and inquired loudly, seemingly directed at more than just Yun Xiao himself.

Individuals like Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan knew well that Qian Sanyuan’s question was laying the groundwork for the upcoming Poison Meridian Path competition.

If Yun Xiao were severely injured, even if they won the final competition, it would not be considered a legitimate victory, given Yun Xiao’s condition was evident to all.

However, at this moment, Song Qiuchan naturally wouldn’t speak on behalf of Yun Xiao, and Lu Tianwen remained silent, as his small maneuvers had already afforded enough time, with no need for further delay.
