"Who is he? Now that’s a long story!"
The cultivator standing next to the middle-aged man took a deep breath and said gravely, "His na is Yun Xiao, from the Jade Pot Sect. In this year’s Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, he defeated Nie Qianqiu, Shen Wannian, and Xuan Jiuding. Moreover, in the final battle, he used his sword to slay the Golden Blade Strange Spirit, Jin Wuli, and won the championship of this Conference!"
After finishing the narration of Yun Xiao’s performance at the Hidden Dragon Conference in one breath, he didn’t care about the stunned expression on the middle-aged man’s face and continued, "Do you think it’s over? No, far from it!"
"After winning the championship, Yun Xiao attracted the competing offers from various forces of the Tenglong Continent, all of which he rejected!"
The cultivator’s face showed a touch of fanaticism as he continued, "Then a Heavenly Rank Expert suddenly appeared, trying to take Yun Xiao’s life. Little did they know, Yun Xiao had a sister, also a Heavenly Rank Expert, backing him up. That battle was truly earth-shattering and moved both heavens and spirits!"
"Heaven... Heavenly Rank Expert?!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man finally could not hold himself any longer and fell to the ground with a thud, his face utterly pale and his eyes filled with regret and fear.
"What... what did I just do?"
Thinking about his previous outburst and the insulting remarks like "Yun Xiao or Yun Cry," the middle-aged man felt all his strength draining away, leaving only a deep fear.
Even though the man’s strength was not weak, having reached the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, such cultivation was probably less than nothing in front of a Heavenly Rank Expert.
As for the middle-aged man’s fear, everyone had guessed it. The man was previously fearless because he was ignorant, but who wouldn’t show such unbearable behavior upon realizing they might have offended the dear younger brother of a Heavenly Rank Expert?
...
As for these discussions outside, Yun Xiao, who had already entered the ridian Refining Master Guild, naturally would not care, and he wasn’t one to hold grudges over such trifles, rely smiling it off.
The grand hall of the ridian Refining Master Guild was extrely spacious, easily accommodating a thousand people. Due to the guards outside, the first floor of the hall had been cleared, with people standing around and only a row of chairs at the very inner part, leaving a vast open space in the middle.
"Yun Xiao, co over here!"
When the mbers of the Jade Pot Sect entered from outside, Elder ng Liyang of the Demon Mountain quickly spotted Yun Xiao and called out loudly.
His loud voice also drew the attention of over a thousand people in the venue, their eyes filled with fervor and excitent.
Most people present had visited the Jade Pot Courtyard over the past three days, but neither Yun Wei nor Yun Xiao were seen, naturally leaving so disappointed.
"Go on, Yun Xiao, it seems there’s really no place for us there!"
Yun Xiao turned around, hearing Yu Shu’s voice—though said in jest, a tinge of lancholy was hard to miss.
In the Xuanyue Empire, Yu Shu was the head of a sect, his status comparable to Xuan Haoran, the ruler of the Xuanyue Country. However, in front of those prominent figures from Tenglong Continent, he was nothing; moreover, he knew well that compared to Yun Xiao, his standing in the minds of those big shots was much lesser.
"Yes!"
Yun Xiao was not pretentious. He too wanted to fully witness the skills of an Earth Rank Advanced Peak ridian Refining Master from Tenglong Continent, which would likely be clearer over there.
It’s worth ntioning that because Qian Sanyuan decided to personally demonstrate the ridian Refining Technique, others like ng Liyang, Gu Hua, and Wu Tong also extended their stay on the Hidden Dragon Continent for three days.
The skills of an Earth Rank Advanced Peak ridian Refining Master were sothing that even those who were not ridian Masters wouldn’t want to miss, 更not to ntion they had an even deeper motive.
"Yun Xiao, isn’t your sister Yun Wei coming?"
As Yun Xiao approached, those who were originally seated like Qian Sanyuan and ng Liyang all stood up. However, when they glanced around and didn’t see a certain graceful figure, they couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, with Qian Sanyuan directly asking.
"Hehe, my sister doesn’t like the hustle and bustle. She’s resting in the Jade Pot Courtyard!"
Yun Xiao’s light laughter was not masked in any way, and it was unclear whether it was intended only for the few present. Upon hearing this, Qian Sanyuan and the others were finally certain that they would not et that Heavenly Rank expert.
In fact, so guesses were not wrong. Qian Sanyuan suddenly wanted to hold this display of ridian Refining Technique to take this opportunity to further connect with Yun Wei. Now that the latter did not co, they could only try to find a way through Yun Xiao.
"Yun Xiao, later I will demonstrate the ridian Refining Technique from both the perspectives of healing and Alchemy and dicine Refining. If you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up, let’s learn from each other!"
This Vice President of the ridian Refining Master Association, who had learned the entire process from Gu Dao, the President of the Lingtian Empire ridian Refining Master branch, although he himself was a ridian Master at the peak of Earth Rank Advanced, in terms of healing, he may not be much stronger than Yun Xiao.
After all, the Innate Pulse Cutting, which the entire ridian Refining Master Association was helpless against, was resolved by this young man standing here. Haven’t you seen Miss Xue from the Xuanyin Hall, who had been tornted by Innate Pulse Cutting since childhood, now sitting healthily aside?
"Hehe, Vice Chairman Qian, aren’t you being a bit too modest? Who else on the entire Hidden Dragon Continent can surpass your mastery in ridian Refining Technique?"
Just when Yun Xiao was about to humbly deflect the comnt, a sowhat sour voice ca from the side. Turning his head to look, Yun Xiao found the speaker to have an unfamiliar face.
However, Yun Xiao might not have seen this elder before, but the three deep crescent moons shining on the black badge on his forehead were openly declaring to everyone that this person was a genuine Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Refining Master, making Yun Xiao already have so guesses.
"Yun Xiao, this gentleman is President Yao Zhiyuan of the Xuanyue Empire ridian Refining Master branch. I suppose you, being a Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Refining Master and going to assess in the Lingtian Empire, must have raised so thoughts in his mind!"
Sure enough, no sooner had he spoken these words than Qian Sanyuan was already laughing in response, but the words were quite direct, causing Yao Zhiyuan to look quite embarrassed.
This Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Refining Master, indeed, is the President of the Xuanyue Empire ridian Refining Master branch, and indeed, he was quite dissatisfied that Yun Xiao did not assess the ridian Master level badge in his own country.
As the President of the ridian Refining Master branch, Yao Zhiyuan’s status in the Xuanyue Empire is hardly less than that of King Xuan Haoran of the Xuanyue Country, which fostered his commanding attitude.
Especially in recent years, with the Jade Pot Sect growing prosperously, many ridian Refining Geniuses have been gathered there. Although they all co to the ridian Refining Master branch to assess level badges, it also led to a considerable diversion of talents from the ridian Refining Master branch.
If it were just that, everyone relying on their abilities, it would not have driven Yao Zhiyuan to really do sothing. However, hearing from Vice President Qian Sanyuan, Yao Zhiyuan learned that Yun Xiao went to the Lingtian Empire to assess the level badge, and this deeply irritated him.
There is definitely competition among the ridian Refining Master branches of the major empires on Hidden Dragon Continent. Although the Xuanyue Empire has the Jade Pot Sect to divide the talents, those ridian Masters were ultimately assessed by the Xuanyue ridian Refining Master branch, and this performance naturally also accounted on Yao Zhiyuan’s record.
If Yun Xiao were just an ordinary Mortal Rank ridian Master, it might have been fine, but now, a super-genius who won the championship of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, a ridian Demon with boundless potential, choosing to go afar to assess in the distant Lingtian Empire, Yao Zhiyuan found it incredibly frustrating.
Such a potential unparalleled genius, who could have added a brilliant mark to his own resu, even causing Yao Zhiyuan to take issue with Yun Xiao himself.
Of course, such thoughts could not be explicitly expressed. After all, Yao Zhiyuan knew that Vice Chairman Qian and those magnates from the Tenglong Continent place great importance on Yun Xiao.
Moreover, with Yun Xiao having a sister who is a Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert, even if Yao Zhiyuan was lent a boldness, he wouldn’t dare to offend Yun Xiao openly.
Little did he know that just after he had spoken, Vice Chairman Qian directly exposed his thoughts, causing Yao Zhiyuan, feeling awkward, to no longer hide his dissatisfaction.
"As for Yun Xiao’s combat power in ridian Qi, I have no doubts, but as for this badge of a Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Master, I’m afraid there might be so discrepancies, after all, the path of ridian Refining and ridian Qi Cultivation are vastly different."
Yao Zhiyuan did not care about the odd looks from those around, probably knowing from Qian Sanyuan that Yun Xiao’s Power of Soul was only at Spirit-grade Low Level, but had obtained the badge of a Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Master through so special ans.
As a Spirit-grade Advanced ridian Master, Yao Zhiyuan wouldn’t feel the slightest fear even when confronting Yu Shu, let alone against Yun Xiao, a teenager of sixteen or seventeen.
Yao Zhiyuan believed that with Yun Xiao’s Cultivation talent, he might soon reach the sa level as himself, but in terms of ridian Refining Technique, he was extrely confident.
If Yun Xiao’s ridian Refining Technique couldn’t even match his own, why would Vice Chairman Qian hold him in such high regard, even suggesting they learn from each other? This was clearly just a courtesy for Yun Xiao’s sister Yun Wei.
Seeing that just from a single comnt, President Yao Zhiyuan, whom he had never t, rebuked him upfront, even Yun Xiao’s usually good temper was stirred.
Others might not know about Yun Xiao’s ability in ridian Refining, but he was very clear about it. If it were a comparison of ridian Refining Technique or Alchemy and dicine Refining, then perhaps he really might not even match up to a Spirit-grade Middle Level ridian Master.
But rely from observing soone else perform the ridian Refining Technique, with the mories of a Saint-grade Advanced Peak ridian Master from his previous life, he would likely leave Qian Sanyuan far behind, let alone a re Spirit-grade Advanced Yao Zhiyuan.
It seems there’s going to be quite a show to watch now!
