Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 247: 247 Really rude!

Because of these thoughts, Mo Qing knew that those words from Yun Xiao were not said casually; this guy acts like a trickster but his nature isn’t bad at all, how could he possibly do anything harmful to Ling Wan?

Seeing Mo Qing retreat, Yun Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. If this Inner Sect young lady insisted on obstructing him, he really would have had no solution, as he was no match for her at the moment.

With Yun Xiao’s strength at the Early Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, bolstered by the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, a low-level Spiritual Rank Protective Light Shield wouldn’t pose the slightest difficulty for him.

After all, this wasn’t an attack cast by a true strong practitioner of the Meridian Rushing Realm. The support-less Protective Light Shield, after being continuously bombarded by Yun Xiao’s punches, finally exploded amidst the varied gazes of the two bystanders.

Especially Ling Wan, who had just exhausted all his methods without being able to break it; he originally thought his own Mixed Element Qi was strong, but now he realized how much he paled in comparison to Brother Yun Xiao.

”Hehe, Ling Wan, remember to give me back those fifteen hundred points!”

After breaking the Protective Light Shield, fifteen hundred points had naturally been deducted from Yun Xiao’s Task Token. As he handed over the scroll of the Qi Transformation Spirit Technique to Ling Wan, he couldn’t help but make a joke.

”Of course, I’ll transfer them to you right now!”

Ling Wan took the scroll, and his other hand was already reaching out, meaning to take Yun Xiao’s Task Token, appearing to take Yun Xiao’s words seriously.

”All right, just keep the points for yourself. After you’ve cultivated this technique, go look for a suitable Meridian Technique. Remember, Meridian Techniques and Cultivation Techniques are different; it’s best to choose those of the Advanced Mortal Rank!”

Before Ling Wan could reach out, Yun Xiao had already put the Task Token back into his Waist Storage. The words he spoke deeply touched Ling Wan, and even Mo Qing, standing beside them, flashed a gleam in her eyes.

That was a full fifteen hundred points, even some low-level Spiritual Rank tasks didn’t offer so many points, yet Yun Xiao gave them away without even a frown.

If not for Mo Qing knowing that Yun Xiao was just a new Inner Sect, or even a new Outer Sect disciple, she might have believed that Yun Xiao was wealthy and generous.

But Mo Qing knew that Yun Xiao only had these few thousand points recently rewarded by the Sect Leader, and he had just spent two thousand five hundred, leaving him with not many points left.

That’s why Mo Qing was even more shocked by Yun Xiao’s actions. If there were tens of thousands of points, giving away fifteen hundred wouldn’t be a big deal. But this guy, having only a little more than two thousand points, didn’t even blink before giving away fifteen hundred – what did that signify?

”It seems that the friendship between these two guys is really deep!”

Mo Qing could only think this, and seeing that Ling Wan merely showed gratitude without much refusal, it further confirmed her thoughts.

Indeed, Ling Wan did not refuse because he knew he already owed Brother Yun Xiao too much, probably unable to clear this debt in his lifetime. Thus, he made up his mind to train hard to catch up with Yun Xiao’s pace and be able to help in future battles.

One could say that after meeting Yun Xiao, Ling Wan’s life trajectory had profoundly changed. Previously, within his family, he was treated as a freak and waste, even his own father and two brothers wanted to kill him to ease their minds.

If not for Yun Xiao, Ling Wan probably would have long since perished, let alone joining the Inner Sect in such a grand manner. All of this was brought to him by Yun Xiao, and he would forever hold this gratitude in his heart, never daring to forget it.

Regarding these thoughts of the two, Yun Xiao didn’t particularly care. As he said, although Ling Wan possesses the heaven-defying body of Mixed Element Qi, his attack methods were too simplistic, and often he had to passively endure enemy’s attacks to rebound and injure them.

In his past life, Yun Xiao had seen a practitioner of Mixed Element Qi who was so powerful that even he might not be a match, and that practitioner had endless tricks while fighting, combined with the power of Mixed Element Qi which was unstoppable.

Yun Xiao believed, once Ling Wan truly mastered Mixed Element Qi and combined it with some powerful Meridian Techniques, his combat power would definitely see a terrifying improvement.

Of course, all this was for later. Seeing that Ling Wan had already opened the scroll and started eagerly studying it, Yun Xiao made an eye gesture to Mo Qing and the two walked together out of the square.

”I mean, is this really not going to cause any problems?”

As they left the square, Mo Qing, still somewhat worried, turned back to look at the quiet Ling Wan, softly asking with a hint of concern.

It’s really unprecedented at the Late Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm to practice a low-level Spiritual Rank Cultivation Technique; though Yun Xiao and Ling Wan themselves were fully confident, she was still worried, considering whether to report this matter to her teacher.

The current Ling Wan was also a Direct Disciple of Great Elder Lu Zhan, Mo Qing’s junior brother, and given his honest and simple nature, she did not want this incident to ruin such a promising talent.

”I tell you, just relax, perhaps before long, you’ll see a Ling Wan that will astonish you!”

Yun Xiao also glanced at the Ling Wan in the square, then turned his head back and said something with a mysterious air, before no longer speaking and heading towards the exit of the Jade Martial Institute.

On the way, Yun Xiao saw Song Tian’s figure. It seemed that he had also found a low-level Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique and was cultivating in a square, utterly engrossed.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao did not disturb him. His relationship with Song Tian was far inferior to that with Ling Wan, and seeing that Song Tian seemed quite satisfied with his cultivation, Yun Xiao went straight to the entrance of the Jade Martial Institute.

Outside the Institute stood Elder Yan Chun of the Poison Vein, but when he heard some noise behind him and turned around, he was momentarily stunned.

”Yun Xiao?”

Having met this youngster, who was exceptionally accepted as a Direct Disciple by the Sect Leader, once before, Yan Chun would never forget him. Hence, he ignored Mo Qing beside him and focused solely on Yun Xiao.

”This kid, truly doesn’t understand the value of opportunity, to come out so soon!”

After the moment of surprise, Yan Chun sneered inwardly, thinking how foolish this clever-looking boy was. The chance to enter the Jade Martial Institute was given at half price, and who wouldn’t want to use this opportunity to obtain more valuable items?

Moreover, Yan Chun knew that Yun Xiao, after joining the Inner Sect, would get at least three thousand points as a reward. If it’s half-price, he could have exchanged them for at least two kinds of low-level Spiritual Rank Cultivation Techniques or Meridian Techniques.

As the guardian of the Jade Martial Institute, Yan Chun knew that typical Inner Sect geniuses would spend days or even tens of days cultivating after acquiring their techniques, only leaving after mastering them.

But this youngster, having entered only a short while ago, came out so soon. The only explanation was that the boy did not exchange anything, otherwise, it was impossible for him to leave so quickly.

Little did Yan Chun know that the youth in front of him, appearing to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, had a soul in his mind that had lived for many years.

In the small Jade Martial Institute of the Jade Pot Sect on Hidden Dragon Continent, there was nothing that caught Yun Xiao’s interest. The only Meridian Array he exchanged was out of necessity.

Ignoring Yan Chun’s curious gaze, Yun Xiao, due to the nature of the Poison Vein, subconsciously didn’t have much regard for these people. He simply nodded towards them and directly left the Jade Martial Institute.

”How rude!”

Yun Xiao’s manner made a strange light flash through Yan Chun’s eyes. The Inner Sect disciples who came to the Jade Martial Institute were usually extremely polite and bowed down to him, yet Yun Xiao was indifferent, which displeased him greatly.

On their way, Yun Xiao and Mo Qing did not speak again until they entered a black and green square, where something finally broke the silence.

Whoosh!

As Yun Xiao just stepped onto the square, he saw a red flash followed by a feeling of heaviness on his shoulder, and a familiar scent wafted into his nose, letting him know who it was without looking.

”Chi Yan!”

The visitor was the Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan. Since Yun Xiao had joined the Inner Sect, the highly fire-attributed Chi Huo had found the freezing Cold Jade Hall extremely unsuitable, so it had been away cultivating somewhere, and Yun Xiao had not seen it in recent days.

However, Yun Xiao knew that Chi Yan wouldn’t have gone too far and was probably continuing to refine the Fiery Fire Ganoderma somewhere. Its appearance now probably indicated that it had completely refined the energy of the Fiery Fire Ganoderma into itself.

”Squeak squeak!”

Just as Yun Xiao wanted to sense Chi Yan’s current strength, he saw the little creature bristling its fur and standing on his shoulder, baring its teeth in one direction and making a series of angry sounds.

Hearing this, Yun Xiao was momentarily stunned, then turned his gaze in the direction Chi Yan was looking. Upon seeing who was there, he suddenly understood, as there stood a girl in a black dress with a somewhat embarrassed expression—none other than Mo Qing.

It seemed Chi Yan had already recognized Mo Qing. Back in the Yurong Volcano, it was this human woman who had tried to assassinate Yun Xiao. It was only because Chi Yan transformed in time that it managed to block Mo Qing’s lethal strike against Yun Xiao.

Thus, in Chi Yan’s not-so-advanced spiritual intelligence, Mo Qing had long been regarded as a major enemy. Furthermore, in the few interactions Yun Xiao had with Mo Qing afterward, Chi Yan was not present, so seeing her now naturally stirred its anger.

What concerned Chi Yan most was that this human woman was too strong. Even though it had refined and absorbed the power of the Fiery Fire Ganoderma, it was far from being her match, so although angry, it was already thinking about how to protect Yun Xiao and get him out safely.

”Is this... that red mouse?”
