Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 970: Don’t Boast Too Much

"Yun Xiao, did you... did you prepare this especially for me?"

Receiving the scroll, Liu Hanyi held the scroll tightly with her jade-like hand, and when she asked this, her voice contained a slight tremble, indicating her inner turmoil.

Liu Hanyi understood Yun Xiao to a certain extent. She knew that among this youth's friends, few specialized in practicing the Poison Meridian Skill, except for her, a friend she couldn't quite define.

Now Yun Xiao directly took out such a cultivation method for the Poison Meridian Skill from his Waist Storage, which clearly showed he had always been thinking of her, never forgetting her. Liu Hanyi was touched by these thoughts.

"Kind of, didn't you just say, not to favor one over the other?"

Yun Xiao smiled slightly, his words made Mo Qing to the side a bit envious. As you know, preparing especially and making a spur-of-the-moment decision are two different things.

Compared to the cultivation method specifically prepared for Liu Hanyi's Poison Meridian Skill, the spontaneous decision to harness the residual energy from the Pure Origin Red Fruit held somewhat different significance.

Women's thoughts are honestly strange; you'll never guess what they focus on. For example, at this moment, Yun Xiao did not know Mo Qing's thoughts had already undergone some unusual changes.

"Follow the method above to cultivate, I guarantee you'll break through to the Early Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm within a month. Reaching Earth Rank Low Level for the Poison Meridian Skill is not impossible!"

Yun Xiao was quite confident about his cultivation method. He had reason to believe that at least on this Tenglong Continent, it would be impossible to find a more ingenious method for practicing the Poison Meridian Skill.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of bragging and biting your tongue?"

Just as Yun Xiao's words fell, and Liu Hanyi was about to happily put the scroll into her Waist Storage, a somewhat sinister voice came from outside the courtyard door.

"It's Teacher?! Why is he here?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao and Mo Qing hadn't recognized who it was, but Liu Hanyi's beautiful face changed color. She muttered to herself before leading the way out of the room, the two behind quickly followed.

As the three left the room, a figure flashed at the courtyard entrance, an elder dressed in a green robe strode into the garden. He was none other than Qingmu Wu, the Dean of Lianyun Mountain Sky Poison Institute and the Great Elder of the Meridian Refining Master Association!

Previously, before the first two rounds of disciple selection at Lianyun Mountain, Yun Xiao had seen Qingmu Wu from afar. However, he hadn't expected that just after the second round ended, the Dean of Sky Poison Institute would visit, causing his heart to tighten.

With Yun Xiao's Power of Soul, he could certainly sense that this was a genuine Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert. Thus, he knew that he could not possibly be a match for him. If Qingmu Wu had ill intentions, then today would indeed be a tough day.

In front of such a Heavenly Rank expert, Yun Xiao's previously unrivaled Thunder Dragon's Wings probably had little use, because after all, Heavenly Rank Third Realm experts could fly.

Since his interactions with Poison Vein Masters at the Jade Pot Sect during his previous life, Yun Xiao's view of Poison Vein Masters had always been poor; except for Liu Hanyi, he was wary of any Poison Vein Master.

"Teacher, why did you come?"

Liu Hanyi, however, didn't have so many thoughts. During her time at the Tenglong Continent Sky Poison Institute, this newly recognized teacher had been quite kind to her, even showing some excessive affection.

Liu Hanyi was a rare Immortal Poison Body; her resistance to toxins was far stronger than ordinary Poison Vein Masters. Just within a year, her talent showed signs of surpassing the Sky Poison Institute's top talent, Ye Ku.

Therefore, Qingmu Wu, this new teacher, would certainly not treat Liu Hanyi worse than Jia Yi, the Sect Leader of Luoyi Sect on Hidden Dragon Continent. Sometimes, when disciples choose teachers, teachers also choose disciples. A disciple like Liu Hanyi with a heaven-defying Poison Vein Talent is as rare as hen's teeth.

Since Qingmu Wu had always sought a way for Liu Hanyi to break through to the Early Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, or rather to reach the Earth Rank Low Level Soul, but had not found the method. To reach such a level, one needs a certain amount of luck and diligent, continuous cultivation.

Today, Qingmu Wu originally came to Yun Xiao's courtyard with another purpose, but before entering, he heard his favorite disciple's voice, followed by Yun Xiao's words. His heart instantly burned with anger, and he couldn't help but speak up.

Qingmu Wu's anger was justified; even as a Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Master, he hadn't found a way for Liu Hanyi to quickly break through. This kid's proud boast that his method would ensure a breakthrough within a month was laughably audacious!

As a Poison Vein Master, though Qingmu Wu specializes in the Poison Meridian Path, he also has some understanding of Medical Pulse Technique. He believes that even if the Chairman himself took action, he would likely not make such bold claims!

This kid in front of me, while indeed possessing a Power of Soul at Earth Rank Middle Level as an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master, might be believable if he claimed he could help a cultivator at the Spiritual Rank Three Realms break through a minor realm.

But now, Liu Hanyi is at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm and is about to break through from Qi Seeking Realm to the great realm of Seeking Origin Realm. The mere study of a Poison Meridian Skill cannot possibly facilitate such a breakthrough, and Qingmu Wu simply does not believe it.

A significant reason for this disbelief stems from Qingmu Wu's confidence in his own Poison Meridian Skill. He considers himself unmatched in this technique across the entire Tenglong Continent.

Although Qingmu Wu witnessed Yun Xiao's Poison Vein Techniques last night, where his control or dissolution of poison was even superior to his own, the true Poison Meridian Skill between the two was far too disparate.

Add to that his age, Qingmu Wu had every reason to believe that the scroll presented by this young man could not possibly be more powerful than the Poison Meridian Method he had imparted to Liu Hanyi.

In Qingmu Wu's view, if Liu Hanyi were to believe this kid's nonsense, abandoning the Poison Meridian Skill study method he was given and instead cultivating what Yun Xiao presented, it would be akin to putting the cart before the horse and wasting time on unimportant matters.

Qingmu Wu held great esteem for this newly accepted disciple, even more so than his nurturing of Ye Ku, and he did not want to see Liu Hanyi go astray.

In his opinion, Liu Hanyi's blind infatuation with this kid was surely what led her to foolishly believe his nonsense, something she would undoubtedly regret later.

"Hmph, if I hadn't come, you would have been duped by this kid!"

These thoughts flashed through Qingmu Wu's mind, and then he shot a fierce glare at Liu Hanyi, making the latter shrink back his neck. Yet the next moment, some things in her heart became determined.

"Teacher, Yun Xiao would not deceive me!"

Compared to this teacher she had only known for over a year, although Qingmu Wu treated her well, Liu Hanyi was evidently more inclined to trust Yun Xiao with whom she had fought side-by-side many times on the Hidden Dragon Continent, so her raised head carried words filled with resolve.

"Hanyi, I know you and he met while in Hidden Dragon Continent, but the study of this Poison Meridian Skill is extremely meticulous. How could it compare to the method a young boy wrote when weighed against the one imparted by me, your teacher?"

Seeing Liu Hanyi defend Yun Xiao, Qingmu Wu felt a rising, inexplicable sense of jealousy deep down, convinced that someone so young could not possibly produce anything remarkable. Furthermore, he had overheard that Yun Xiao himself wrote this thing, making it all the more unreliable.

To know that every cultivation skill or Medical and Poison Technique study method had been finalized through the meticulous contemplation and distillation of countless predecessors, becoming a timeless work.

But how old is this boy in front of us, not even twenty yet?

At such an age, the notion of writing a method that allows someone to break through to Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage within a month, or even advance soul power to Earth Rank Low Level, something Qingmu Wu would never believe no matter what.

"Dean Qing, sometimes you really shouldn't make such absolute statements!"

Just as these pointed words came out of Qingmu Wu's mouth, Yun Xiao could no longer hold back from speaking. Though this life's status was far from matching this dean of the Sky Poison Institute, when it comes to experience and skills, these top figures of Tenglong Continent couldn't compare to him.

The Poison Meridian Skill method, written by Yun Xiao based on the memories of Long Xiao Battle God from his past life, would likely cause a frenzy among Poison Vein Master organizations in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud to compete over, yet ironically here it was being dismissed by a mere Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Master on Tenglong Continent.

"Hmph, you're the one with the gift of the gab. Let's see what's so remarkable about your stuff!"

In front of his disciple, Qingmu Wu didn't say much else because he was mindful of his true purpose here, to potentially pull Yun Xiao into the Sky Poison Institute. So he couldn't offend too much.

As Qingmu Wu spoke, the next moment he reached out to take the green scroll from Liu Hanyi's hand, planning to uncover its flaws. Once that was done, neither Yun Xiao nor Liu Hanyi could say anything further.

This dean of the Sky Poison Institute had immense confidence, believing that spotting the flaws in a young man's written study method using his Poison Meridian Skill would be easy.

Then, not only would it dissuade Liu Hanyi from intending to cultivate according to that method, it would also let Yun Xiao see his own methods, making him willing to join the Sky Poison Institute, truly killing two birds with one stone.

"This..."

Seeing the scroll in her hand seized, although it was something Yun Xiao had already gifted to her, Liu Hanyi instinctively looked towards Yun Xiao at this moment, only to see him gently shake his head with a strange light flickering across his face.
