"You... stay away from !"
Jumping back several steps, Liang Song still looked sowhat shocked and skeptical, his voice also carrying a hint of fear. Although he was a genuine Spiritual Rank low-level ridian Refining Master, once touched by the Poisonous Evil Pill, it would be troubleso indeed.
Perhaps, Liang Song had never thought that this young man in plain clothes could successfully refine the Poisonous Evil Pill so easily; this had completely overturned his understanding of Poison Vein Masters.
This young man nad Yun Xiao, who appeared only sixteen or seventeen years old, even if he had been exposed to poisons in the womb, it’s unlikely he could ignore such deadly poisons, right?
"Liang old man, what’s wrong with you?"
Seeing Liang Song’s actions, Yun Xiao was sowhat puzzled and asked with so confusion. In his view, wasn’t this man a Spiritual Rank ridian Refining Master? Why should he react with such fear?
"Uh... Yun Xiao, just stand there, don’t move!"
Seeing Yun Xiao about to step forward again, Liang Song was startled and hurriedly waved his hand as he spoke, then added: "Actually, the examination for Poison Vein Masters isn’t presided over by . Please wait for a mont."
As Liang Song spoke, he turned around under Yun Xiao’s strange gaze and walked towards a certain place, disappearing into the depths of the examination room soon enough, not through the door he had entered from.
It seed there was more than ets the eye in this Mortal Rank Advanced ridian Refining examination room, yet Yun Xiao was not too surprised; he was clearly aware of the difference between the dical and Poison paths, so it made sense for Liang Song, a dical Pulse Master, to misunderstand Poison Vein Masters.
Even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, dical Pulse Masters and Poison Vein Masters had beco two vastly opposing forces, neither yielding to the other, and their frequent conflicts were one of the oddities of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.
However, it was clear that on the Hidden Dragon Continent, both dical Pulse Masters and Poison Vein Masters were part of the ridian Refining Master Guild, and even in this Lingtian City branch of the guild, there were Poison Vein Masters.
Tap tap!
As Yun Xiao was contemplating this, a series of footsteps ca, and first to enter his sight was Liang Song, who had just left, but Yun Xiao’s gaze was not on Liang Song.
Beside Liang Song stood an elder in a green robe; if Yun Xiao did not look carefully, he might have thought it was Fu Du from the Jade Pot Sect or another Poison Vein Elder.
The green robe worn by this elder wasn’t much different from those of Fu Du and other Poison Vein Masters, the only difference being that this elder’s left chest was embroidered with a small dark green crescent.
"Spiritual Rank low-level ridian Refining Master!"
Although Yun Xiao was not very familiar with the situation in this low-tier plane of the Hidden Dragon Continent, he recognized the green-robed elder’s status as a genuine Spiritual Rank low-level ridian Refining Master.
However, this person’s ridian Qi Cultivation and Power of Soul seed far inferior to those of Fu Du, Mo Li, and others, making him likely not a real power wielder at this Lingtian City ridian Refining Master Guild.
"Liang Song, is this the kid you ntioned?"
For so reason, Poison Vein Masters with a bit of strength seed to have bad temperants. The green-robed elder glanced lightly at Yun Xiao, then frowned, clearly skeptical.
"Just based on this sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid, he managed to refine the Poisonous Evil Pill? And within just one ti?"
Before Liang Song could reply, the green-robed elder had already voiced his dissatisfaction; knowing that even he, a Spiritual Rank low-level Poison Vein Master, required at least two or three tis to refine that Poisonous Evil Pill, and that’s not even accounting for the failure rate.
Having imrsed himself in the Poison ridian Path for decades, it wasn’t that he didn’t believe Liang Song’s words, but rather he doubted Yun Xiao’s Poison ridian Skill. Could this youngster have used so unknown Eye-blocking Technique to deceive Liang Song?
It was no wonder the green-robed elder was skeptical; Yun Xiao was simply too young. And since Liang Song had only mastered the dical Vein Path all his life, if there were any tricks involved, it wasn’t impossible.
"Li Yang, you’re unaware, but Yun Xiao really did refine the Poisonous Evil Pill within one ti!"
Although the attitude of this Poison Vein Master of the sa rank wasn’t very good, Liang Song didn’t get angry but just pointed at Yun Xiao, repeating what he had said earlier.
"Yun Xiao?"
Hearing this unfamiliar na ntioned by Liang Song, the Poison Vein Master nad Li Yang frowned again, as even after racking his brains, he couldn’t recall any family in Lingtian Imperial City that had a genius nad "Yun Xiao," or even any family surnad Yun.
If it was as Liang Song said, then wouldn’t this young man’s talent surpass that of Nie Qianqiu, the Crown Prince of the Royal Family? But how could that be possible?
"Old Li, please inspect the Poisonous Evil Pill!"
For so reason, Yun Xiao couldn’t muster much good feeling towards these Poison Vein Masters of the Hidden Dragon Continent, especially since Li Yang started questioning him without even checking the Poison Pill, which is why he wasn’t as polite to Liang Song.
Perhaps it was because of the attitude of the Poison Vein Elders from the Jade Pot Sect, Yun Xiao, though proficient in both dical and Poison Cultivation, harbored a bit of caution towards these Poison Vein Masters; you never knew when they might stab you in the back.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Yun Xiao’s attitude, Li Yang was even more displeased, and after a cold snort, he finally reached out his hand to take the Poisonous Evil Pill from Yun Xiao.
"Hmm? This Poisonous Evil Pill..."
As soon as Li Yang took the poison pill, his previously disdainful expression changed, and after speaking, he brought the strangely scented elixir close to his nose to sniff.
Seeing Li Yang’s action, Liang Song, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but jump nervously with his eyelids twitching. As a dical Pulse Master, he would never dare to bring such a toxic elixir so close to himself.
However, Li Yang, a low-level Spiritual Rank Poison Vein Master, was different. Having dealt with poisons all his life, he had developed so resistance to strong poisons. At least this Mortal Rank Advanced Poisonous Evil Pill did not harm him.
Although the toxicity of the Poisonous Evil Pill couldn’t affect Li Yang, the quality of this particular poison pill stunned the low-level Spiritual Rank ridian Refining Master, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Brother Li Yang, what’s wrong?"
Catching sight of Li Yang’s state, Liang Song, who was not deeply familiar with the Poison ridian Path and had never encountered that Poisonous Evil Pill, imdiately asked out of confusion.
"A top-grade Poisonous Evil Pill, in perfect Mortal Rank Advanced form, how... how is this possible?"
Li Yang did not directly respond to Liang Song, but his murmuring and disbelief left Liang Song utterly shocked and unable to regain his composure.
"Another perfect Mortal Rank Advanced elixir!"
Such thoughts filled Liang Song’s mind. He knew that the Mortal Rank Advanced Quenching ridian Pill previously refined by Yun Xiao was also a top-grade elixir. He didn’t expect the refinent of this poison pill to be so astonishingly successful as well.
It’s known that a cultivator’s energy is limited, especially for a ridian Refining Master. The paths of dical and Poison Cultivation are distinct, with fundantally different cultivation philosophies. Although dual cultivation of both is theoretically possible, it is practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
At least on the Hidden Dragon Continent, even the Chairman of the ridian Refining Master Guild of the Lingtian Empire, known as a practitioner of both dical and Poison Cultivation, primarily focuses on the dical Vein, with only superficial knowledge of Poison Vein techniques.
But what about this young boy in coarse clothing? At such a young age, not only has he refined the perfect Quenching ridian Pill, but now he has also surprised Li Yang, who usually harbors arrogance.
At this mont, Liang Song had no doubts that Li Yang was exaggerating; that must truly be a top-grade perfect Poisonous Evil Pill.
If so, doesn’t it an that this young man called Yun Xiao possesses equally exceptional talents in both dical Vein and Poison Vein paths? This is a significant matter!
While Liang Song was internally shocked, Li Yang, holding the Poisonous Evil Pill, underwent several changes in expression. He couldn’t comprehend how such a young boy could refine a perfect Poisonous Evil Pill.
It must be noted that even Li Yang, a low-level Spiritual Rank Poison Vein Master, had never successfully refined a top-grade Poisonous Evil Pill. This completely overturned his understanding of the Poisonous Evil Pill.
"May I ask, have I passed then?"
Ignoring the diverse expressions on the two elders’ faces, Yun Xiao asked straightforwardly as if he had done a trivial matter. This question finally brought the two back from their trance.
"Ahem..., of course, you are now a true Mortal Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master!"
Li Yang’s face was sowhat embarrassed. Upon his arrival, he had doubted Yun Xiao’s Poison ridian techniques. Now it appeared that although young, this boy’s alchemy skills far surpassed his own.
Such talent, given ti, could at least beco a major power, walking much further than Li Yang, a re low-level Spiritual Rank Poison Vein Master.
"That Mortal Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master badge, may I have it now?"
Yun Xiao wasn’t concerned about Li Yang’s initial condescension followed by respect; he was here simply to test for a ridian Master level, and obtaining the level badge was his primary objective.
Seeing that the young man had no intention to converse further, Li Yang, aware that his attitude might have been inappropriate before, reached to his waist and soon produced a green badge in the palm of his hand.
In a replicating manner, Li Yang engraved Yun Xiao’s na and three stars over the green badge and then handed it to the young man. His face still full of emotion.
Yun Xiao took the badge, nodded towards Liang Song on the other side, then turned and left without a backward glance, his confident steps leaving the two n in the room speechless, plunged into a deep silence.
It was only after a long while that Liang Song took a deep breath, his gaze turning towards Li Yang as if having made a decision, verified by the latter’s nod. Only then did both their figures slowly disappear within the assessnt room.
