Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 548: 548 This is really too precious!

”Little brother, come down!”

After doing all this, Yun Wei didn’t bother with the passionate gazes of the crowd, but merely waved towards the arena, soon after which Yun Xiao walked down from the arena.

”Sister, you are truly generous!”

Yun Xiao, still somewhat pale, smiled as he spoke. Having been on the Hidden Dragon Continent for several years, he naturally understood the shock Yun Wei’s recent actions had delivered to everyone.

”You little rascal, I won’t give you things like Elixirs!”

Yun Wei gently tapped her brother’s head and then, worried that he might not understand, she explained further: ”Elixirs are just external forces, only the power you cultivate yourself is truly reliable, especially when breaking through to a Great Rank, you must not rely on Elixirs!”

Previously, Yun Wei was only part of the Shang Family, and naturally had a narrow view, but now, she had a powerful teacher in the Li Yuan Realm who no one dared to provoke, which naturally broadened her horizon far beyond what it was three years ago.

Just as Yun Wei said, using Elixirs to break through the three Mortal Realms is not too serious, but at higher levels, relying on Elixirs too frequently can cause the Meridian Qi to become loose, which could be disastrous when attempting to break through higher realms later.

The proverbial skyscraper starts from the ground; the foundation is the key. Only by solidifying the foundation can one prevent the building from collapsing; otherwise, the higher it rises, the harder it will fall.

”I understand this principle!”

Yun Xiao nodded. He was not truly a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years. Having been reborn once, he was even more aware of the importance of a solid foundation, and he largely agreed with what Yun Wei had said.

”Alright, let’s find a quiet place and have a good catch up, just the two of us,” Yun Wei spoke with relief observing that her little brother understood her intentions. After her words, Yun Xiao ignored others like Qian Sanyuan and Meng Liyang, and directly led her towards the Jade Pot Sect.

At this moment, the members of the Jade Pot Sect stood much straighter, because they could clearly sense the undisguised envy of tens of thousands of onlookers nearby. This was probably even more honorable than Yun Xiao winning the champion of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

Sect disciples participate in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference mostly to catch the eye of higher plane powerhouses, thereby elevating their affiliated sects to soaring heights.

Now, though Yun Xiao had not joined any forces on the Tenglong Continent, he was accompanied by an inscrutable sister. Didn’t you see how respectfully Qian Sanyuan and Meng Liyang behaved?

If previously Yun Wei merely intimidated people with her martial prowess, then since she had assisted Meng Liyang and Xuan Haoran in their breakthroughs and gifted Qian Sanyuan a Heavenly Rank Elixir, the significance she represented had completely changed.

Personal martial strength alone brings no tangible benefits to others, but her ability to aid others in breakthroughs and the possibility of possessing Heavenly Rank Elixirs in her Waist Storage were what made everyone envy the Jade Pot Sect.

Even Fu Du, who had always looked down on Yun Xiao, did not say an extra word this time, even fostering a bit of worry in his heart that Yun Xiao might ask his sister to settle accounts with him for his past actions were hardly in Yun Xiao’s favor.

Fu Du believed that if Yun Wei really wanted to act against him, Sect Master Yu Shu would not speak a word in his defense, and might even personally deal with him.

”Sister, let me introduce you, this is Yu Shu, the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect and currently my mentor. I owe a lot to his care during this time!”

Yun Xiao first introduced Sect Master Yu Shu, but hearing his words, Yu Shu repeatedly waved his hands, not daring to put on airs in front of this Heavenly Rank Expert.

”The Jade Pot Sect?”

Yun Wei was naturally familiar with this name, and before the Shang family was destroyed, such a sect was like a colossal entity for her. Didn’t even a mere Inner Sect Disciple like Yin Huan appear aloof in front of them?

However, Yun Wei’s identity was different now. To her, a sect like the Jade Pot Sect was almost too insignificant to note, and had it not been for Yun Xiao’s serious introduction, she probably would not have even noticed these people.

”Thank you, Sect Master Yu Shu, for your years of caring for my little brother. This token of appreciation is small, but please accept it!”

As Yun Wei spoke, she gestured at her waist, and suddenly flung out a Waist Storage, leaving the affiliates of the Jade Pot Sect too stunned to react.

Given Yun Wei’s generosity with Meng Liyang and Xuan Haoran, and considering how she faced the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect who had cared for Yun Xiao for many years, how could she possibly be stingy?

”Hissss...”

When Yu Shu blankly received the Waist Storage and sensed the items within, he couldn’t help but gasp, each item inside being enough to become a Sect Treasure of the Jade Pot Sect.

Whether it was Earth Rank Low Level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or Earth Rank Low-Level Cultivation Techniques or Meridian Techniques, there were numerous items. You should know that in the entire Jade Pot Sect, items that reached Earth Rank were but a single piece.

It seems that Yun Wei has also made her considerations and did not provide anything too beyond the scope of the Hidden Dragon Continent. Firstly, such items would be of no use to Yu Shu as a cultivator, and secondly, she understands the principle of ”the onus of carrying a valuable treasure.”

If she had given out some overly advanced items, it would not be aiding the Jade Pot Sect, but rather harming them. After Yun Wei leaves, probably even the mighty forces of the Tenglong Continent would not be able to contain themselves, right?

”This... this... this..., Miss Yun Wei, this is really too valuable, my Jade Pot Sect absolutely cannot accept this!”

Yu Shu, who had been somewhat stunned just now, finally came back to his senses. As his voice trembled and he tried to return the Waist Storage to Yun Wei, several Elders of the Jade Pot Sect looked on somewhat askance.

Elders like Lu Zhan and Li Shan from the Medical Pulse lineage were more composed. They knew that Yu Shu was usually very steady and his current discomposure indicated that the items in the Waist Storage were indeed too valuable to accept.

In contrast to the Elders of the Medical Pulse lineage, Fu Du and Mo Li were not quite satisfied. Sect Master, if you don’t want it for yourself, you might as well give it to me; I don’t mind its value!

However, at this moment, even if Fu Du was given the courage, he dared not make a sound. Initially, Yun Xiao did not notice him, but if he spoke out, wouldn’t that remind Yun Xiao of all their old and new grievances?

”Sect Master, please accept it. The items my sister offers are never taken back!”

Yun Xiao glanced at Yun Wei’s expression and immediately stepped forward, pushing the Waist Storage towards Yu Shu’s chest, clearly understanding his sister’s intention by now.

It seems that Yun Wei also knew that given Yun Xiao’s talent, this small Hidden Dragon Continent could not contain him. Presenting these items was, in a sense, also returning a favor to the Jade Pot Sect.

”This..., ah, truly undeserved!”

Yu Shu looked at his nominal disciple, feeling quite emotional. In fact, only he knew that even though he had taken Yun Xiao as his Direct Disciple, he really had nothing substantial to offer him.

Whether it was Meridian Qi Cultivation or the Meridian Refining Technique, Yun Xiao seemed to have his own methods, especially in treating and saving lives with the Meridian Refining Technique—Yu Shu feared he was no match for Yun Xiao.

Given Yu Shu’s upright nature, he naturally felt undeserving. The reciprocity and contributions were disproportionate, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words.

Yun Xiao, however, didn’t pay much attention to Yu Shu’s demeanor, but with a wave of his hand, introduced the other elders one by one. When introducing Fu Du, his tone was slightly odd, which nearly made this Second Elder’s heart jump out.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao did not elaborate further, and soon the group, like stars surrounding the moon, escorted Yun Xiao and his sister away, leaving many onlookers behind. They watched the two figures disappear and, after a long while, burst into a flurry of discussions.

...

Somewhere on the outskirts of the arena!

A young girl in a light red dress, her gaze rather complex, stared at a vanishing silhouette, unable to regain her composure for a long time, deep in thought.

”Miss, this matter should probably be reported to the Sect Master as soon as possible!”

A somewhat grave voice from beside her finally brought Xu Hongzhuang back to reality, though her face was still somewhat blank.

”Elder Guo, what did you say?”

Listening to Xu Hongzhuang’s question, it turned out that this Elder from the Lingyun Sect accompanying her to the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference was the Chief Meridian Refining Master of the Lingyun Sect whom Yun Xiao had met before.

”Miss, since Yun Xiao has made enemies with our Lingyun Sect and now has such a powerful backing, we probably need to prepare early!”

Elder Guo wasn’t too aware of the many details of the Shang Family’s tragedy, but from Yun Xiao’s performance that day and the Sect Master’s attitude, he understood that their relationship could definitely not be too friendly.

Moreover, when Yun Xiao had left, it was clear that he had a falling out with the Lingyun Sect. Even though the Lingyun Sect is a top sect in the Lingtian Empire, under a Heavenly Rank Expert, it likely would be extinguished in the flick of a finger.

”Elder Guo, are... are you saying he will take action against the Lingyun Sect?”

Li Yan Xu Hongzhuang trembled sharply, then thought of something, her face turning even paler. Elder Guo might not know the details, but she was deeply aware of it; there was a feud involving the killing of a mother between the Lingyun Sect and Yun Xiao.

Although Yun Xiao’s sister Yun Wei had now returned alive, Xu Hongzhuang did not know that Yun Xiao’s mother might also still be alive; the grievances between them were probably not so easily resolved.

”I don’t know if he will take action, but it’s never wrong to be prepared early!”

Elder Guo did not fully understand the root causes of their enmity, and with this statement, Xu Hongzhuang’s initial plans changed entirely—perhaps she knew that there was ultimately no future between herself and Yun Xiao.
