Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Senior Sister Ningxiang, this is the gift I prepared for the Hall Master and the Deputy... oh no, the Hall Master’s Wife!”

Just as everyone was sizing up Yun Xiao and the others, a round little fat boy swiftly walked up to Xue Ningxiang and her father, speaking while he wiped his hand on his waist.

Speaking of which, Ling Wan originally belonged to Xuanyin Hall, but ever since the Massacre of Strange Spirits, he’s been with Yun Xiao and never returned to Xuanyin Hall, causing some elders of Xuanyin Hall to lament when they think of him.

After all, he is the genius of Xuanyin Hall known as One-shot Saint Son, but he stayed in Lianyun Mountain and refused to return, which is indeed a great loss for Xuanyin Hall.

So much so that now Xuanyin Hall has been rebuilt, and many newly promoted elders within the hall don’t even know Ling Wan originally belonged to Xuanyin Hall, only thinking he’s from the same place as Yun Xiao, originating from the Meridian Refining Master Association.

However, upon hearing Ling Wan mention the words ”Hall Master’s Wife,” Lian Yuluo’s originally calm face visibly reddened slightly, thinly reproaching him, yet inwardly joyful.

”You’re quite thoughtful, kid, but I must first see what you’re offering. If it’s too ordinary, I won’t accept it!”

At this moment, Xue Ningxiang had become the spokesperson for Xue Tianao’s couple, although Ling Wan stated it was a gift for the newlyweds, she snatched it over and spoke with a threat.

”Xiangxiang!”

Seeing Xue Ningxiang genuinely about to open the gift box in front of everyone, Xue Tianao couldn’t help but frown. Considering his understanding of Ling Wan, he came from Hidden Dragon Continent, what possessions would he possibly have?

If Ling Wan’s box indeed contained something ordinary, wouldn’t it be embarrassing Ling Wan in front of Yun Xiao, his precious daughter is being reckless, Xue Tianao was thinking a lot.

Snap!

However, despite Xue Tianao’s timely words, Xue Ningxiang’s hand was quicker; a light sound was heard, and the lid of the box in Xue Ningxiang’s hand popped open, revealing a special glow.

”Hiss..., so cold!”

Once the lid popped open, even Xue Ningxiang with her Illusion Yin Ghost Body, caught off guard, shivered instinctively, simultaneously staring with shock at the crystal inside the box.

At the same time, all the cultivators in the hall also sensed the faint yet real coldness emanating from Xue Ningxiang’s hand, causing some keen observers to become contemplative.

”Is this... is this... a Spirit Crystal of a Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit with Cold attribute?”

Nearby, Xue Tianao with a very strong sensing ability, narrowed his eyes, seemingly uncertain but essentially 70 to 80 percent sure.

”Hehe, Master, this Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit with Cold attribute was sensed by Brother Yun Xiao for a long time before being found, and I personally killed it and collected its Spirit Crystal!”

Seeing Xue Tianao already recognized the provenance of the crystal, Ling Wan didn’t hold back, directly explaining its origin, causing many in the hall to audibly gasp.

Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit is equivalent to human experts of Lingyun Realm Early Stage or even Middle Stage. Such a Strange Spirit Expert was killed by Ling Wan, who even forcibly extracted its Spirit Crystal.

With Yun Xiao and Lu Yanji present, people didn’t expect that Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit could stir up any trouble, but if this Spirit was indeed slain by Ling Wan, it meant something entirely different.

This showed that the cultivation of Ling Wan, who had just broken through to Lingyun Realm Early Stage, was probably far more powerful than some established Lingyun Realm Early Stage experts, like Sky Thunder Valley’s Valley Master Duan Zixiao.

”His companions are indeed all such demons!”

After figuring this out, many couldn’t help but exclaim internally, their gaze turning to the women beside Yun Xiao, enhancing this perception.

Because the aura of cultivation from these women was no less than Ling Wan’s, especially Hu Ying’er, even making experts at the peak of Lingyun Realm like Hou Tianlie feel a latent threat.

As for a few Cold attribute cultivators like the Sect Leader of the Killing Heart Sect, their eyes were fixed on that Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit’s Spirit Crystal, with a peculiar intensity of fervor deep within their eyes.

Although this Sect Leader of Killing Heart Sect was a super expert at Lingyun Realm Late Stage, he was deeply covetous of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of Cold attribute.

These would enhance their assassination methods significantly, and Strange Spirit Crystals are rare; Cold attribute Spirit Crystals are rarer, reaching Heavenly Rank level Cold attribute Spirit Crystals are sought after gems.

Just now, even if you lent this Killing Heart Sect Leader some courage, he wouldn’t dare express his intentions publicly. Not to mention the Xuanyin Palace Master, there’s also the absolute force recognized by Ling Wan as his brother standing there.

”How about it, can this Spirit Crystal of a Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit with Cold attribute catch Senior Sister Ningxiang’s eye?”

It seemed Ling Wan sensed the surrounding shocked gazes, feeling somewhat smug as he spoke, recalling the fierce battle with this Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit at the time.

Because of this, Yun Xiao and others set off first, arriving before Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu, the intensity of that battle almost made Yun Xiao intervene.

Fortunately, later on, Ling Wan displayed the heaven-defying attack of the Mixed Element One Qi Body, finally killing that Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit and extracting its Spirit Crystal, making the marriage gift complete.

”Not bad, not bad, Ling Wan, Senior Sister truly did not pamper you in vain!”

Xue Ningxiang was evidently extremely satisfied with this gift, praising it as she raised her other hand and heavily clapped Ling Wan’s shoulder twice.

”Father, you won’t compete with Aunt Luo for this Low Level Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit’s Spirit Crystal, will you?”

Xue Ningxiang praised Ling Wan for a moment, then turned her head, seemingly seeking her father’s opinion, but directly stuffed the box containing the Spirit Crystal into Lian Yuluo’s hands.

”Ningxiang, this Spirit Crystal should be very useful for you too, I think it’s more suitable for you!”

Holding the slightly icy box, a struggle flashed in Lian Yuluo’s eyes, but in the end, she handed it back to Xue Ningxiang, causing many people to nod secretly.

”This is Ling Wan’s wedding gift for you two. When it’s my turn to get married, it won’t be too late for him to give another!”

Xue Ningxiang didn’t know what she was thinking about, but her bold words made Xue Tianao and his wife somewhat speechless, a yellow flower maiden speaking the word ”marriage” all the time, aren’t you afraid of others laughing?

However, everyone had somewhat understood Xue Ningxiang’s personality, and given her status and position, even if some old-fashioned people thought this was inappropriate, they dared not say much at such a time.

”Yun Xiao, what about you?”

Xue Ningxiang didn’t care, her gaze passed Ling Wan, landing on a rough-clothed young man, leaving everyone dazed, there was something unexpected about her words.

”What?”

Even Yun Xiao was stunned by Xue Xiang’s sudden words, instinctively voicing out a question, but as soon as his lips moved, he understood what Xue Ningxiang wanted.

”Ling Wan has a gift, you’re the great matchmaker, surely you have prepared something too, right?”

Xue Ningxiang seemed exasperated by Yun Xiao’s lack of understanding, her words clarified more, leaving everyone momentarily confused, thinking can gifts be claimed so deliberately?

”Ningxiang, Yun Xiao helping me and Tianao find each other is already a deep gratitude, why would we need any gifts?”

This time, it was Lian Yuluo speaking. Honestly, she was immensely grateful to Yun Xiao, if it wasn’t for him on the Stepping Heavenly Stone that day, she and Xue Tianao wouldn’t know how long they would’ve waited to truly be together.

Moreover, Xue Ningxiang asking for gifts broke the norms, Lian Yuluo was truly afraid Yun Xiao hadn’t prepared anything, which would make the atmosphere awkward. At any rate, Yun Xiao wasn’t part of the Xuanyin Hall, and Lianyun Mountain had already sent a precious gift earlier.

”Indeed, Yun Xiao’s presence is the best gift!”

Xue Tianao nodded in agreement. To him and even to the Xuanyin Hall, that young man was a great benefactor, and no gift could surpass the value of the gift of life.

”I say, are you really here empty-handed?”

Ignoring her father’s and Aunt Luo’s comments, Xue Ningxiang seemed to disregard them entirely, glancing suspiciously at Yun Xiao for a long moment, as though him not having a gift was something incredibly rebellious.

”To be honest, I really didn’t prepare anything!”

At his words, Yun Xiao nodded, making everyone’s expressions turn odd, then they heard him continue, ”However, I suddenly recalled that there might be a Cultivation Technique in my Waist Storage particularly suitable for Master Xue, consider it as a gift.”

As Yun Xiao’s voice finished, he swiped his hand at his waist, and light flashed. A scroll, seeming to exude wisps of cold energy, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

”Cultivation Technique?”

Upon hearing Yun Xiao’s words and seeing his action, Xue Ningxiang frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with this gift, yet she still stepped forward, taking the scroll from Yun Xiao’s hand.

Xue Ningxiang was from Xuanyin Hall, a sect with thousands of years of inheritance; to speak of High Rank Techniques, it was probably among the best on the Tenglong Continent, she truly didn’t believe anyone on the Tenglong Continent could present something higher rank than her father’s cultivation method.

”Cold Nether Treasure?”

Just as she took the scroll, the first thing Xue Ningxiang saw were the four ancient words on it. Feeling a surge of Yin Cold Qi hit her face, she shivered instinctively.

”I really want to see what makes this Cold Nether Treasure extraordinary!”

Xue Ningxiang murmured as she circulated her Illusion Yin Ghost Body’s Meridian Qi, somehow growing immensely interested in the Cultivation Technique Yun Xiao provided.
