"Where on earth did this guy co from?"
Everyone stared blankly at Yun Xiao, racking their brains but unable to recall this person's na. It was obvious that this was his first ti attending the selection of Refining Cloud Mountain, yet he made a significant impact on the first day of selection.
However, people can be jealous. As they say, colleagues are rivals, especially at this critical juncture of the Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection. Seeing Yun Xing successfully heal two patients on the wooden platforms, their feelings were understandable.
There were only ten patients in total for this first day's assessnt, aning there were only ten spots available for advancent. Now that Yun Xing had taken two spots himself, it was impossible for the others not to have thoughts about it.
Though Yun Xiao's intervention had many reasons this ti, in the heart of so narrow-minded individuals, it was as if he had stolen spots that originally belonged to them. Among them, Liu Yu, the princely heir of the Liu Family, was the most resentful.
People like Liu Yu, how could they possibly look for faults within themselves?
He almost killed people twice, and it was no burden for him at all. At this mont, his heart was already filled with anger. If not for a shred of remaining rationality, he would have started a brawl at the ridian Refining Master Guild.
"All of you, get out of my way!"
It had to be said that this Liu Family's young master was indeed overbearing. After slightly calming his mind, he didn't bother with Yun Xiao over there but instead strode towards one side, driving away all the ridian Refining Masters around one of the wooden platforms.
Witnessing this scene, these ridian Refining Masters dared not express their anger and could only cast their gaze in a certain direction, hoping for soone to step in and suppress the arrogant Liu Family young master once more.
People's thoughts can be strange at tis. These ridian Refining Masters didn't want Yun Xing to steal the spotlight again, yet they hoped he could suppress Liu Yu once more. Perhaps this would give them more opportunities?
Unfortunately, Yun Xiao was not omnipotent. His previous two suppressions were rely coincidences, coupled with Liu Yu's bad luck, which allowed him to seize the chance to suppress twice.
After all, this Liu Family young master did possess real capabilities. His badge of a Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master was not bought with money. In the face of conditions he could solve, Yun Xiao wouldn't interfere easily to create chaos. He was quite low-key.
The fact proved that Liu Yu's ridian Refining Technique was indeed comndable. He managed to cure a condition that Spirit-grade Mid and Low-Level ridian Refining Masters pondered over for quite a while without figuring out anything, in just over an hour.
Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from the patient before him, Liu Yu provocatively turned his gaze toward a certain individual, but upon seeing the situation, he was taken aback with anger!
The effort he had put into curing the patient before him was to redeem his status, to let Yun Xing know that Liu Yu's reputation was not undeserved. Yet, he found that the guy didn't even notice him. How could he not be enraged?
At this mont, Yun Xiao's gaze indeed wasn't on Liu Yu, for he suddenly discovered sothing interesting. Watching that area where people continuously approached and withdrew in dejected sighs, his eyes sparkled with a peculiar gleam.
"Mr. Yun Xing is also interested in that patient?"
For so reason, ever since Yun Xiao had cured the patient poisoned by dicine, Lu Liancheng hadn't returned to his seat. Instead, he asked with great interest, with a tone carrying a hint of inexplicable aning, and even used so courteous titles.
"Hehe, Chairman Liancheng, placing such a patient here, sincerely wants to reduce the number of spots available today!"
Yun Xiao neither confird nor denied it, but his soft laugh had already conveyed an attitude: he believed no one present today could cure that special patient, not even Lu Liancheng.
"Oh? Does Mr. Yun Xing know what kind of condition it is?"
Upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Lu Liancheng's eyes lit up instantly, appearing sowhat eager, which allowed Yun Xiao to discern so clues and feel more confident in his deduction.
"If I'm not mistaken, that patient should hold a significant position in the ridian Refining Master Guild, or perhaps, is the... Fifth Elder of your guild?"
As Yun Xiao said this, he glanced at an empty seat at the top. In fact, he wasn't entirely sure earlier, but upon observing Lu Liancheng's expression and listening to his words, he had deduced sothing substantive.
"Mr. Yun Xing, you truly have a keen eye!"
Lu Liancheng did not deny it. In fact, many of the ridian Refining Masters present had recognized the patient as the Fifth Elder Liang Li of the Lushan City ridian Refining Master Guild, which was why so many ridian Refining Masters were eagerly tackling his condition.
Because by curing this Fifth Elder, who held a significant position in the ridian Refining Master's branch, not only could one pass the first day's assessnt, but the Lushan City ridian Refining Master Guild would owe a personal favor. How could one not want to?
However, perhaps these ridian Refining Masters have forgotten that if it weren't for illnesses even the ridian Refining Master Guild couldn't handle, how could Lu Liancheng and the others have allowed the dignified Fifth Elder to appear publicly and accept treatnt from these mostly Spiritual Rank level ridian Refining Masters?
"Three days ago, Elder Liang Li suddenly fainted. The elders in our guild gathered for a consultation but were unable to ascertain the cause. Even I couldn't determine why he fell into a coma!"
Lu Liancheng glanced at the Fifth Elder Liang Li on the wooden platform and the constant stream of ridian Refining Masters heading towards it. His voice carried so lancholy as he explained the simple process of Liang Li's collapse into a coma.
"In fact, although Elder Liang Li is in a coma, his energy hasn't weakened; on the contrary, his pulse has sowhat strengthened. This puzzles us greatly, yet we still cannot awaken him!"
As Lu Liancheng seriously described Fifth Elder Liang Li's condition, for so reason, Yun Xing's earlier performances instilled a bit of inexplicable confidence in him.
As Lu Liancheng said, although Fifth Elder Liang Li doesn't seem to be near death, remaining in a coma is not a solution; who knows if he might suddenly die one day.
ridian Refining Masters like Lu Liancheng, having studied the art of ridian Refining their whole lives, are keen to learn from difficult cases. However, since this involves the life of Fifth Elder Liang Li, their main focus isn't on research but on how to awaken Liang Li.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Fifth Elder should be an Earth Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, right?"
Yun Xiao naturally understood Lu Liancheng's intention, but since he bore no enmity with the Lushan City ridian Refining Master Guild and rather liked the chairman, he didn't directly refuse, instead asking softly.
"That's correct. Elder Liang Li specializes in Poison ridian Skill, and his poisoning skill is second only to our Second Elder!"
Lu Liancheng didn't hide this. After all, it was widely known in Lushan City that Liang Li was a Poison Vein Master, so it wasn't surprising that Yun Xing knew about it.
"Hmm!"
However, just as Lu Liancheng hoped for Yun Xing to say more, the latter only let out a soft "hmm" from his nose and then fell silent, leaving an uncomfortable feeling.
Lu Liancheng felt a bit exasperated. Was the "hmm" from this guy a response to his earlier words, or did he already know the cause of Liang Li's coma?
"Mr. Yun Xing, if you have a way to wake up Elder Liang Li, our Lushan City ridian Refining Master Guild would be eternally grateful!"
After waiting a while without hearing a further word from Yun Xing, Lu Liancheng finally couldn't hold back. What he said, if overheard externally, would probably drop jaws to the ground, right?
The dignified deputy chairman of the Lushan City ridian Refining Master Guild, a genuine Earth Rank Middle Level ridian Refining Master, actually turned to soone whose ridian Refining Level was unknown for help. This was practically a revolutionary act overturning traditional ridian Refining notions.
"Does Chairman Liancheng really want to take action?"
Upon hearing Lu Liancheng's words, Yun Xiao finally turned his head again, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he said, "There's no need for thanks. I'm just afraid of offending Elder Liang Li in the process; as long as Chairman Liancheng ensures he doesn't kill , it will be fine!"
The inexplicable words left Lu Liancheng montarily confused, but the next mont he patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, as long as Mr. Yun Xing can awaken Elder Liang Li, I'm sure he will be reasonable and not resort to violence—of that, Lu guarantees."
Although Lu Liancheng wasn't sure if Yun Xing could indeed awaken Liang Li, as a deputy chairman of the ridian Refining Master Guild, he had this bit of authority.
Besides, as Lu Liancheng ntioned, once Yun Xing wakes Liang Li, the latter surely wouldn't repay kindness with enmity, right? Even high-ranking Poison Vein Masters with eccentric behaviors still must be reasonable, right?
"With Chairman Liancheng's assurance, I'm relieved!"
Yun Xiao's eyes sparkled with brilliance but he didn't reveal it, letting out a light laugh before stepping toward the wooden platform where Fifth Elder Liang Li lay.
For so reason, as the black-robed Yun Xing approached, the surrounding area of the wooden platform instantly cleared, likely because the ridian Refining Masters there had witnessed Liu Yu's fate earlier and didn't want to end up like him.
However, so others showed expressions of anger. This Yun Xing had already healed two patients and secured a place in the first round, yet he still wanted to compete with them for the remaining opportunities. Wasn't this too overreaching?
In contrast to these ridian Refining Masters participating in the selection, when Yun Xiao moved toward the wooden platform, the elders seated above revealed a flicker of peculiar light in their eyes, and their attention inevitably shifted to Chairman Lu Liancheng.
