"You lost!"
In the square, looking at the Spirit Fighting Comrce genius whose face alternated between green and white, Yun Xiao didn't have many thoughts. He spoke in a deep voice, then stepped forward to hand the Golden Poison Tassel back to Li Gongnian.
"You..., I don't want it anymore!"
Seeing Yun Xiao's action, Li Gongnian was scared and took another step back. Yet he didn't reach out to receive what originally belonged to him. Instead, after a slight change in his expression, he uttered these words, which made everyone's expressions extrely interesting and peculiar.
Li Gongnian was genuinely afraid to accept it. He knew he had offended Yun Xiao gravely, and who could tell if this young man would take revenge publicly here in the square? What if he ended up like Yao Tiansha just for touching the tassel grains of the Golden Poison Tassel?
Although Li Gongnian was also an Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master, he admitted his achievents in the Poison ridian Path were likely inferior to those of Yao Tiansha, and he didn't dare take such a risk.
Furthermore, until now, Li Gongnian hadn't completely ruled out the idea that Yun Xiao had done sothing to it. It's just that the opponent's "work" was too clever for him to see through.
If that was really the case, Li Gongnian wouldn't dare to reach out and touch the Golden Poison Tassel at all. This thing was like a ti bomb, ready to explode at any mont, and best to avoid.
"You don't want it anymore?"
Even Yun Xiao's arm paused slightly, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face, "Since you don't dare to accept it, I can only graciously accept it myself!"
Things like the Golden Poison Tassel are extrely rare on the Hidden Dragon Continent, otherwise, even Wuzhong and San Yuan hadn't heard of it.
An Earth Rank Advanced poison, if Little Dragon adds his One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons thod to it, probably no one below the Heavenly Rank Realm can claim to be able to resist it.
Yun Xiao hadn't expected Li Gongnian to be scared senseless, unwilling to take this High-level Heavenly poison item, which benefited him. So after his words fell, he directly stored the Golden Poison Tassel into his Waist Storage.
"I announce the selection of Refining Cloud Mountain disciples is perfectly concluded, and the first place goes to: Yun Xiao!"
Upon seeing the contest in the field finish, Qian Sanyuan suppressed his inner excitent, stood up from his seat, and this loud declaration quieted the crowd suddenly, then sparked intense cheering.
Although the surrounding ridian Refining Masters were those eliminated this ti, they worshiped strong figures, and Yun Xiao's heaven-defying performances had conquered them.
Many surrounding ridian Refining Masters have absolute reasons to believe, with Yun Xiao's ridian Refining Talent, after joining Refining Cloud Mountain and access to the ridian Refining Master Association's resources, he would certainly continue to progress.
At that ti, Yun Xiao's status in the ridian Refining Master Association would be equal to that of Bai Wushuang, Ye Ku, and others, which is remarkable. Such figures, walking on the Tenglong Continent, few would dare provoke.
"Yun Xiao, as the first place in this Refining Cloud Mountain disciple examination, you have an opportunity to enter the Refining Treasure Hall to seek treasures. Take a rest first, and in three days, soone will co to pick you up!"
Qian Sanyuan's words that followed might actually be the primary reason Li Gongnian, Xu Changgui, and others fought desperately for first place.
Upon hearing the words "Refining Treasure Hall," the eyes of many ridian Refining Masters burned intensely. The reputation of this treasure-holding place within Refining Cloud Mountain is well-known, except to Yun Xiao, who ca from the Hidden Dragon Continent, quite unfamiliar.
It's said that the Refining Treasure Hall collects countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Teng Continent. Inside, there are not only materials for refining elixir or treating injuries but also many miraculous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Skills, ridian Techniques, and weapons, each likely causing small families and sects outside to fight over.
Rumor has it that anything accepted by the Refining Treasure Hall could not be of Mortal quality, with countless Earth Rank Middle Level and Advanced Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even so reaching Heavenly Rank.
Of course, obtaining these items isn't that simple. Besides needing so luck, one must have extraordinary insight, strong cultivation, and ridian refining skills.
Otherwise, even if a peerless treasure is found, one may not have the ability to bring it out of the Refining Treasure Hall. There's once a story involving a Poison Vein Master sect elder from Refining Cloud Mountain, who discovered a weapon of Heavenly Rank but lost two fingers to it, which isn't a secret on Refining Cloud Mountain.
At least ridian Masters know entering the Refining Treasure Hall offers high success chances if one doesn't covet items far surpassing one's strength.
Take that Sky Poison Institute elder for example, if he hadn't coveted that Heavenly Rank weapon but took sothing Earth Rank Advanced, the result might have been completely different.
"Refining Treasure Hall?"
```
Compared to the fervor of other ridian Refining Masters, Yun Xiao muttered the na of the Refining Treasure Hall again and then nodded, without paying too much attention.
As Qian Sanyuan finished speaking about the first prize for this disciple selection, everyone's gaze shifted to a certain figure, with a new sense of anticipation rising in their hearts.
"I wonder if Yun Xiao will join the Sky Poison Institute or the Heavenly Hospital?"
This is what everyone was thinking, especially after the second round ended the day before, as there seed to be so discord between Qingmu Wu, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, and Guan Rufeng, the Dean of the Heavenly Hospital, regarding Yun Xiao's affiliation.
"Yun Xiao, now you are considered an official disciple of Refining Cloud Mountain. Do you know whether you want to join the Sky Poison Institute or the Heavenly Hospital?"
However, just when everyone thought Qingmu Wu and Guan Rufeng would once again be at odds over the new talent, Qian Sanyuan suddenly asked this question, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
In the past, the disciple selection was decided by the Heavenly Hospital and the Sky Poison Institute themselves. Only when the two factions were at loggerheads, the new disciple might be given a bit of choice. Overall, the decision was still made by the two institutions.
Moreover, in previous Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selections, many ridian Refining Masters were specialized in either dical Pulse or Poison Vein, making it clear which side they belonged to, allowing both institutions to make suitable choices easily.
Even so geniuses who practiced both dical and Poison Pulse would certainly focus on one path, and it was easy to discern for top ridian Refining Masters like Qingmu Wu and Guan Rufeng.
However, Yun Xiao's performance in these rounds was sowhat inscrutable. His thods to cure and save people were miraculous, and his strength in resisting and deploying poisons was exceptionally formidable. In the eyes of everyone, this ti there might truly be a good showing of recruitnt battles to witness.
In fact, as Qian Sanyuan spoke, there was a hint of expectation on his face. After all, he was the first to interact with Yun Xiao and believed Yun Xiao was more likely to join the dical Pulse faction.
Furthermore, the day before, Qingmu Wu, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, had already addressed Yun Xiao as "Master," which indicated that there was probably nothing more to teach in the Poison ridian Path, giving the Heavenly Hospital a chance.
"Let think about it a little more!"
Actually, Yun Xiao hadn't decided yet. Given his dominant presence as Long Xiao Battle God in the Hidden Dragon Continent, he was forced to recognize Yu Shu as a teacher, bringing him a lot of trouble. The Jade Pot Sect incident almost led to his demise at one point.
So Yun Xiao didn't want to have too many constraints again. He ca to participate in the Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection, only looking for a backing on this Tenglong Continent, not really seeking another teacher.
Moreover, as Qingmu Wu thought, regardless of dical Pulse Technique or Poison ridian Skill, how could these ridian Refining Masters of Tenglong Continent compare with Yun Xiao, who possesses the heritage of a Holy-grade Pulse Refining Master?
It would be more fitting for Yun Xiao to teach Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan; at least theoretically, even the President of the ridian Refining Master Association would likely not asure up to Yun Xiao?
"This guy, he hasn't chosen either side?!"
As soon as Yun Xiao said this, the place suddenly beca a bit quiet, because this situation was sothing they had never considered. Generally, after passing the Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection, one would need to choose a faction to join?
That way, one's cultivation path in ridian Refining would be clearer and could avoid many detours under a teacher's guidance. Yet Yun Xiao's decision was unprecedented.
"This kid..."
Many Elders of Refining Cloud Mountain, including Qian Sanyuan, were puzzled and amused. So uninford Elders even showed anger, almost about to scold him.
Did this kid think that neither the dical Pulse nor Poison Vein of Refining Cloud Mountain could teach him ridian Refining Technique?
After all, this is Refining Cloud Mountain, a holy land where countless top ridian Refining Masters of Tenglong Continent congregate. Yun Xiao's actions seem to slight Refining Cloud Mountain.
"Alright then, let's leave it for now, this matter can be discussed later!"
Just when so Poison Vein Elders were about to reprimand, Qingmu Wu, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, waved his hand and then spoke two sentences, leaving everyone completely puzzled.
According to their understanding of Qingmu Wu, he was a person firmly committed, stubborn as eight hundred oxen couldn't drag him back. Once he even fought with Guan Rufeng over a young talent with strong ridian Refining Talent, only reluctantly compromising when Qian Sanyuan intervened.
Although many had never seen that ridian Refining genius, they didn't think he was stronger than Yun Xiao, yet now the hot-tempered Dean of the Sky Poison Institute said nothing more and gave up attracting Yun Xiao?
