Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 242: 242 Why?

”Brother Chang Qing, the way you’re cultivating the Lightless Seal seems incorrect!”

Yun Xiao’s sudden interjection took both medical pulse geniuses by surprise. What kind of madness had this kid come down with? A mere fresh Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage newcomer, daring to cavalierly critique a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Technique?

”Yun Xiao, stop spouting nonsense. The cultivation method for the Lightless Seal is detailed in its records; how could Brother Chang Qing possibly be cultivating it incorrectly?”

Mo Qing was taken aback and felt a surge of irritation. This guy was really pushing it; did he truly want to provoke Chang Qing to the point of anger before stopping? There’s no need to be so despicable, is there?

Indeed, just as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Chang Qing’s expression darkened once again. He was already infuriated by his lack of progress with the Lightless Seal after several days of effort, and now Yun Xiao was criticizing his method. This was really adding fuel to the fire.

The cultivation method for the Lightless Seal was something Chang Qing had exchanged with a whole five thousand points from a stone platform nearby, and it had taken him an immense effort to break the Sealing Light Shield.

As Mo Qing said, how to cultivate the Lightless Seal is clearly written on the scroll and Chang Qing was certain he hadn’t made a single misstep in following it.

Moreover, not only had this kid just broken through to the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage, but it was also his first time entering the Jade Martial Institute. He hadn’t even seen the cultivating scroll for the Lightless Seal. What right did he have to point fingers here?

”Yun Xiao, you better leave and stop disturbing my cultivation of the Lightless Seal!”

Chang Qing suppressed the anger ready to burst forth. His voice already carried an implicit threat. The kid seemed quite sensible that day; why was he so out of line now?

However, instead of leaving the plaza, when Chang Qing’s words ended, Yun Xiao took several steps forward, closing the distance to Chang Qing, almost close enough to breathe on him.

Seeing this, Chang Qing’s face became even more sullen, his aura somewhat unstable, on the verge of exploding, making Mo Qing, not far away, unconsciously worry for Yun Xiao.

Just then, Yun Xiao suddenly reached out his hand and with extreme speed, gently tapped down from the top of Chang Qing’s right arm and then turned towards the left arm, tapping a few points on this arm as well.

”Brother Chang Qing, try to perform the Lightless Seal again following the meridian acupoints I just tapped. Let’s see what happens.”

After seamlessly executing the motions on Chang Qing’s arms, Yun Xiao stepped back and spoke as if everything were normal, leaving the two onlookers momentarily at a loss.

”Yun Xiao, what did you do to him?”

Watching Yun Xiao return to her side, confusion flashed in Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes. She had no clue what the maneuver he just performed was for and directly questioned him.

”Just watch!”

Yun Xiao didn’t explain much; instead, he gestured towards Chang Qing not far away, anticipation gleaming in his eyes. It seemed like he was quite confident in his actions.

As opposed to the puzzled Mo Qing, Chang Qing, after a brief internal struggle, decided to give Yun Xiao’s method a try since the Lightless Seal had been tormenting him to madness in the past few days.

Anyway, following the method laid out in the scroll, he hadn’t been able to successfully cultivate for several days, barely able to condense a Light Seal at best, far from being able to use it to defeat enemies and cause injuries.

With that thought flashing through his mind, Chang Qing didn’t hesitate much. Both his left and right hands formed strange seals, which, to Mo Qing’s eyes, looked familiar. Indeed, those were the seals required to perform the Lightless Seal.

What Mo Qing didn’t realize, though, was that whilst Chang Qing’s seal formation seemed unchanged, the route taken by the Meridian Qi he was mobilizing within his body was now drastically different from the original.

Particularly when Chang Qing was channeling the Meridian Qi through his arm meridians, there was a bizarre sensation, unlike anything he had felt through the arduous days of his Lightless Seal cultivation.

Huff... Huff...

As the Meridian Qi within Chang Qing’s body traveled through the meridians pointed out by Yun Xiao to his hands, the Heaven and Earth Energy around the small plaza appeared as if being drawn by something, converging fervently towards his hands.

”This... What is this...”

Not only was Chang Qing surprised and delighted, but Mo Qing next to Yun Xiao was also dumbstruck, for she knew what this signified – it meant that a Lightless Seal was forming in each of Chang Qing’s hands.

A myriad of Heaven and Earth Energy, coupled with Chang Qing’s Meridian Qi, took only a moment to materialize a gloomy and cold light seal on each of his palms.

Moreover, unlike before, these newly formed Light Seals didn’t explode as soon as they appeared, but rather exuded an intimidating presence, causing even the nearby Yun Xiao to feel a twinge of palpitation.

”It worked, it really worked!”

After days of intensive training, the breakthrough was finally achieved. One could imagine how Chang Qing felt, as he let out a burst of excited cheer, and then clapped his hands forward. Two Light Seals were already sent flying out by his palms.

Boom! Boom!

Two loud sounds followed one after another. When the two Lightless Seals struck the hard ground of the plaza, they blasted two large holes into the solid stone, demonstrating their terrifying power.

”Why?”

Seeing the power of the two Light Seals, Chang Qing wasn’t as excited as he was a moment ago. Instead, he was replaced with a hint of confusion and incomprehension. The next moment, he had turned his shocked gaze to the shabbily dressed young man.

Chang Qing was shocked because this Intermediate Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique, the Lightless Seal, was something he had been laboriously cultivating for several days. During this time, the most he could do was barely condense a Light Seal, and even that would burst almost immediately.

But why did it happen that after Yun Xiao arrived and simply gave some guidance on the flow of Meridian Qi in his arms, he was suddenly successful with the Meridian Technique he hadn’t been able to master after so many days?

Moreover, Chang Qing clearly saw that there were actually two Light Seals, one in each hand. This kind of breakthrough in quantity should only be achievable when the Lightless Seal is cultivated to a very high realm, right?

Compared to Chang Qing, Mo Qing, who was beside Yun Xiao, was already stunned. Although she was much stronger than Chang Qing, the two Light Seals that shattered the ground still made her feel threatened.

It goes without saying that the Lightless Seal truly deserved to be an Intermediate Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique. After successful cultivation, its power was definitely capable of causing fatal injuries to cultivators of the same level, and even threaten those with higher Cultivation level than oneself.

”Why?”

From Mo Qing’s cherry lips, like Chang Qing, she uttered three words. The eyes of both of them were fixed on the shabbily dressed young man at the same time.

Previously, Mo Qing felt she had understood a lot about Yun Xiao, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that she couldn’t see through this guy once again. This young man from the Shang Family of Moon Bow City, how many more secrets does he carry?

Just a moment ago, both Mo Qing and Chang Qing thought that Yun Xiao was recklessly interrupting Chang Qing’s cultivation, but unexpectedly, in just a short moment after Yun Xiao’s guidance, Chang Qing had easily achieved a breakthrough.

Mo Qing had also spent 5,000 Points to cultivate the Lightless Seal, but even she had not been successful. One can imagine how complex and difficult this Meridian Technique was to master.

Yet such a complex Intermediate Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique was successfully cultivated after just a few words from Yun Xiao, and even achieved Great Success. What on earth is going on here?

As for the doubts and shocks of these two, Yun Xiao didn’t have so many thoughts about it. He simply had a good impression of Chang Qing and didn’t want to see him so irritated and troubled.

In addition, this Intermediate Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique called Lightless Seal just happened to share origins with an Advanced Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique that Yun Xiao knew of in his previous life. This was why he was able to guide Chang Qing to success with just a few words.

For Yun Xiao, making a slight improvement to the cultivation method of the Jade Pot Sect’s Lightless Seal was not a difficult task. What he hadn’t expected was that this simple act would be so astonishingly unconventional.

In the hearts of Mo Qing and Chang Qing, every Cultivation Technique and Meridian Technique was the culmination of countless efforts by predecessors, experiences derived from extensive trials and tribulations. It was absolutely not something that could be easily modified by anyone.

Even if there were, it definitely would not be a small young man who was only at the Early Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm. What Yun Xiao did at this moment was simply overturning the understanding of these two geniuses. They really wanted to open up Yun Xiao’s head to see just how his brain was structured.

”Heh, just happened to know it!”

Yun Xiao gave a slight smile, but Mo Qing beside him couldn’t help but purse her lips and silently thought he was spouting nonsense. Could such a thing be known by mere chance?

Ignoring Mo Qing’s peculiar look, Yun Xiao continued, ”Brother Chang Qing, do you know the origin of the word ’Lightless’ in ’Lightless Seal’?”

”Origin?”

Chang Qing was still somewhat in shock, and he asked back in a daze, which made Yun Xiao feel a mix of laughter and helplessness, forcing him to explain further.

”The reason why it’s called Lightless Seal is that when this Meridian Technique is cultivated to the Great Success Realm, one can control the Light Seal to no longer emit light, and even achieve the effect of injuring someone imperceptibly!”

This explanation was very clear, but upon hearing these words, Chang Qing, who had snapped back to reality, was even more shocked. Because these details were not written in the scroll, nor was there any mention of them.

So how did this person in front of him know this? And by this time, Chang Qing could no longer ignore Yun Xiao’s words. After just a simple guidance, he was utterly convinced. This young man must be far more than what meets the eye.
