Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Just Call Me Anytime!

The subsequent fusion of the medicinal essences led to several crises, which were circumstances that Lian Yuluo simply couldn’t change, but Yun Xiao managed to avert them.

After several instances, Lian Yuluo finally realized that the young man before her possessed the Five Elements Ancestor Veins. In other words, Yun Xiao activated five ancestor veins at the Seeking Origin Realm, a truly unbelievable feat.

It is known that even the descendants of families from the Tenglong Continent, inheriting knowledge from thousands of years, at most activate one or two ancestor veins. Take Lian Yuluo herself as an example; despite being a strong practitioner in the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, she only activated two ancestor veins.

Ancestor veins aren’t something one can achieve simply through diligent practice. They rely more on ancestral inheritance. However, having powerful ancestors doesn’t guarantee inheriting ancestor veins; luck is also required.

For example, the descendants of some powerful families seen by Yun Xiao in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud had ancestors who were top-grade Holy Rank experts, yet many descendants didn’t even activate a single ancestor vein.

Lian Yuluo, coming from Xuanyin Hall, clearly understood what activating five ancestor veins at the Seeking Origin Realm meant. The young man named Yun Xiao before her surely had many unknown formidable abilities.

If Lian Yuluo were to know that Yun Xiao not only had these five Five Elements Ancestor Veins, but also possessed two Thunder Attribute Ancestor Veins, allowing him to achieve flying power in the Earth Rank Realm, one wonders what expression she would make. Would she even instinctively destroy the elixir she was refining?

Nonetheless, Lian Yuluo, being a Meridian Refining Master of Heavenly Rank Soul Realm, regained her composure after the initial shock. She returned her focus to refining the Illusion Yin Pill.

As time went on, Lian Yuluo increasingly discovered that the first phase of two-by-two fusion encountered some unforeseen changes. Yet after Yun Xiao’s intervention to rectify the chaos, the subsequent phases of fusion progressed more efficiently than expected.

Take the fusion of the Bone Flower and Ice Luo Leaf for example. When their fused entity merged with the prior two fusion essences again, Lian Yuluo clearly felt that it became effortless, contrary to her previous expectations.

Lian Yuluo had initially thought that even the simplest fusion in the first phase was difficult. Trying to deepen the fusion of these problematic medicinal essences would likely lead to even more issues.

However, reality was completely different from what Lian Yuluo expected. Those medicinal essences re-fused without any significant trouble, proving to be much easier than she imagined.

At this moment, Lian Yuluo recalled Yun Xiao’s initial advice not to move the placement of medicinal materials. Now it became clear and left a profound impact on her mind.

Lian Yuluo no longer doubted Yun Xiao as an arrogant fool. Such ability to control the fusion process at the start of alchemy was something even she couldn’t compare to.

Yet, this young man, not yet twenty, had reached such heights in Meridian Qi cultivation while also mastering the art of meridian refining. Moreover, his understanding of alchemy seemed to surpass her abilities as a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Meridian Refining Master.

In the first phase of fusion, multiple times Lian Yuluo felt like a puppet on strings, not doing much herself. The successful fusion of medicinal materials relied entirely on Yun Xiao’s unique methods.

Starting from the second phase of fusion, Yun Xiao seemed to become an outsider again. With the solid foundation he laid, fusion for Lian Yuluo was exceedingly smooth.

It was as if all the groundwork had been perfectly prepared for her, and all she needed to do was control the fire and the power of the soul.

Lian Yuluo was increasingly astonished. By adhering to Yun Xiao’s order, the failure rate of alchemy was minimized.

Moreover, as a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Meridian Refining Master, after successful fusion, the chance of failure was nearly zero.

According to Lian Yuluo’s own understanding of refining the Illusion Yin Pill, even as a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Meridian Refining Master, there would be over a twenty percent chance of failure. A single failure would waste the only Illusion Yin Grass.

Yun Xiao, based on this principle, dared to risk offending Lian Yuluo, insisting not to change the arrangement of medicinal materials, due to his deep understanding of the Illusion Yin Pill.

Ultimately, the rest of the alchemy process proceeded without any further mishaps. Lian Yuluo even felt that none of her previous alchemy experiences were as enjoyable.

Knowing it wouldn’t fail, she found ease in the process, which in turn made it easier to produce higher quality elixirs.

Of course, unlike the time when Qian Sanyuan’s refinement of the Fire Pu Pill resulted in a mutation into a Heavenly Rank Elixir, this time’s Earth Rank Advanced Illusion Yin Pill did not undergo such changes.

Bang!

Another day passed by. Lian Yuluo slapped her hand on the white medicine tripod, and a rounded elixir emitting a hint of ice-cold aura emerged from the flames, received into her palm.

”Illusion Yin Pill!”

Looking at the pale blue pill emitting cold air, although it was merely an Earth Rank Advanced Illusion Yin Pill, in Lian Yuluo’s heart, it held even more significance than a low-level Heavenly-grade pill she had refined before.

It seemed that from Yun Xiao’s previous attempts, Lian Yuluo gained a deeper understanding of alchemy. She believed that if she could integrate this knowledge, her success rate in refining a true Heavenly-grade Elixir might increase.

Of course, Lian Yuluo wouldn’t show these feelings, but in her heart, she had revised her previous assessment of Yun Xiao.

This guy was not just a showy flowered pillow; he truly had talent and skill, even stronger in some aspects compared to her, a low-level Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Master.

”Vice Palace Master Lian truly doesn’t disappoint!”

As Lian Yuluo was deep in her thoughts, that familiar voice reached her ears, making her turn her head immediately. She saw the young man in simple clothes, despite not having rested for two nights, still spirited and cheerful, appearing quite delighted.

Successfully refining the Illusion Yin Pill made Yun Xiao naturally happy. After all, Illusion Yin Grass was hard to come by, and if he failed this time, it would be uncertain when he could find some again.

Yun Xiao had never forgotten his promise to Xue Ningxiang, which was a lingering concern. Only by solving it completely could he be free to tackle other matters.

Of course, another reason was that Yun Xiao knew he’d offended too many people on the Tenglong Continent. Even though he joined the Meridian Refining Master Association, there was no guarantee that organizations like Spirit Fighting Commerce or Wuyan Palace wouldn’t cause trouble for him, making the Xuanyin Hall owe him a favor certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing.

”You brat...”

Knowing one’s own affairs, Lian Yuluo stood up and handed the jade bottle containing the Illusion Yin Pill to Yun Xiao, seeming as though she wanted to say something, but changed her words at the last moment.

”If you need any help in treating Ningxiang, feel free to ask!”

Lian Yuluo knew Yun Xiao would surely have Xue Ningxiang take the Illusion Yin Pill next, and she understood that completely curing Xue Ningxiang’s after-effects of Innate Pulse Cutting wouldn’t be simple.

After this cooperation in alchemy, Lian Yuluo would not underestimate Yun Xiao anymore. She realized that in terms of theoretical knowledge, this young man might not necessarily be beneath her, only slightly lacking in Power of Soul, which prevented him from handling everything personally.

”Then I won’t stand on ceremony, Vice Palace Master Lian, please lead the way!”

Yun Xiao naturally did not know where Xue Ningxiang lived, but having the Vice Palace Master around saved him some effort. The two immediately set off together and soon arrived at a courtyard.

The manor where Xue Ningxiang lived was considerably more luxurious and elegant than the courtyard where Yun Xiao Spirit Pill lived. Outside the gate stood two familiar figures: Xue Tian’ao and his daughter Xue Ningxiang.

It seemed the father and daughter had timely received the news of the successful refinement of the Illusion Yin Pill. However, their expressions varied, Xue Tian’ao was visibly excited, while Xue Ningxiang, upon seeing the young man in simple clothes beside Lian Yuluo, showed a tinge of resentment.

Apparently, Xue Ningxiang was still resentful for Yun Xiao’s actions that day. If not for needing help, she probably wouldn’t want to see the guy who humiliated her again.

This time, the Xuanyin Hall’s announcement of the matchmaking event drew many young elites from the Tenglong Continent, including many talented individuals of humble origins who couldn’t even earn an invitation from Xuanyin Hall. Those who could come were all outstanding young individuals from Tenglong Continent.

Didn’t even the likes of Long Xiwawa from Wuyan Palace or Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce hurry over?

They might not simply be after the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of Xuanyin Cave, nor items like Illusion Yin Grass; they wished to become the Hall Master’s son-in-law after acquiring the Illusion Yin Grass.

Yet, this guy before her, despite having acquired the Illusion Yin Grass, handed it over to Xu Hongzhuang at the last moment, clearly indifferent to her, the Xuanyin Hall’s young lady.

If someone else, such as Su Jian, did something like this, Xue Ningxiang might secretly rejoice. But Yun Xiao, with whom she had developed some feelings, acted this way, naturally leaving her extremely irritated.

”Vice Palace Master Lian, let’s begin!”

Yun Xiao seemingly ignored Xue Ningxiang’s resentful expression, merely nodded towards Xue Tian’ao and gestured to Lian Yuluo, directing Xue Ningxiang to enter the courtyard for treatment, leaving her even more frustrated.
