Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 496: Four hundred ninety-six Ling Wan’s Luck

"You, how on earth did you manage to do that?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Liu Hanyi didn’t answer Yun Xiao’s pointless question. Instead, she pointed at the tree that had turned a few shades yellower once again, implying that she believed Yun Xiao would understand.

"Cut open its belly and take out its heart, and it will become like this!"

Of course, Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t go into the details. Seeing him walk in front of the tree and gesture up and down, such a simplistic explanation made both girls roll their eyes.

However, they did not press on with questions. Although Yun Xiao spoke lightly, the sixth-rank low-level Strange Spirit tree spirit was not ordinary. Evidently, Yun Xiao must have exerted all his efforts to defeat it and take the tree’s heart.

Everyone has their secrets, and there is no need to break the pot to ask to the end. Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing were both sensible, as long as they knew that this time Yun Xiao had saved their lives.

"Eh? Ling Wan, what are you going to do?"

While Yun Xiao was gesturing, Ling Wan’s expression suddenly turned somewhat blank. Seeing him slowly step towards the hollow in the tree, he reached his hand into the hole.

"There seems to be something inside!"

Ling Wan fumbled inside the tree hollow while turning to answer Yun Xiao. However, after a moment, he pulled his hand back, and on his right fist, a transforming, elusive aura was enveloped.

"This... this... could this be the Mixed Element Qi?"

Seeing the yellowish yet somewhat greenish aura, Yun Xiao’s eyes instantly became round with surprise, and fragments of memories from his past life surfaced, making him somewhat stutter.

"Mixed Element Qi?"

Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing hadn’t even heard of Ling Wan’s Mixed Element One Qi Body, let alone this so-called Mixed Element Qi. Thus, their expressions were extremely puzzled at this moment.

After all, they were also gifted young ladies from prestigious sects, so how could they seem like naive village girls in front of this young man?

This was the most genuine thought in the hearts of the two women. The more they interacted with Yun Xiao, the more they realized how much they didn’t know, completely erasing the sense of superiority they used to feel in front of other cultivators.

"Ling Wan, run your Cultivation Technique and absorb this Mixed Element Qi!"

Ignoring the girls’ question, Yun Xiao sensed the details of the yellow-green aura again with no more doubts, and immediately spoke up, knowing that Ling Wan had a great fortune ahead.

To Yun Xiao’s words, Ling Wan never hesitated. Knowing that his not blood-related elder brother would never harm him, this so-called Mixed Element Qi must be of great assistance in improving his cultivation.

Ling Wan rarely saw Yun Xiao treat anything with such solemnity, even the intermediate and advanced Spiritual Rank Cultivation Techniques and Meridian Techniques of the Jade Pot Sect were somewhat disdainful in his view.

Immediately, Ling Wan didn’t dare to delay, sitting down cross-legged. Then, that cluster of Mixed Element Qi enveloping his fist instantly disappeared, clearly entering his body.

"It’s really strange, how could the Hidden Dragon Continent possibly have Mixed Element Qi?"

Seeing Ling Wan obediently sitting down, the confusion and peculiarity on Yun Xiao’s face grew deeper. As he slowly stepped forward and fumbled in the tree hole, he touched nothing, and his retracted hand was empty.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Xiao finally turned around and, seeing the puzzled faces of the two girls, smiled and explained, "Mixed Element Qi, according to legend, was a trace of energy that overflowed from the most powerful Chaotic Power when the heaven and earth first opened. Over the years, it’s become exceedingly rare."

Although Yun Xiao gave an explanation, the two women still felt like they were listening to something out of this world; Mixed Element Qi, Chaotic Power, all were unheard of by them, leading them to look at each other perplexedly.

"Never mind, you won’t understand if I tell you more. Just know that this Mixed Element Qi is of great help to Ling Wan, and perhaps this time, he might even directly break through to the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm!"

Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces, Yun Xiao didn’t expect either of them to understand because even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Mixed Element Qi was extremely rare.

The only reason he knew was due to the previous life’s Long Xiao Battle God who had coincidentally learned this from a friend who had advanced his Mixed Element One Qi Body to great success. Yet, he hadn’t expected to encounter this divine item in the Hidden Dragon Continent after rebirth.

In fact, Mixed Element Qi is also beneficial for ordinary cultivators, but this initial energy of heaven and earth is extremely difficult to absorb. A slight misstep, and it might even burst one’s body, which is not impossible.

But what might be poison that could carve out one’s heart for ordinary people is indeed a substantial nourishment for Ling Wan with his Mixed Element One Qi Body. Seeing Ling Wan’s current state, Yun Xiao had no doubt about this.

"Could this large tree cultivate into a Strange Spirit because of the Mixed Element Qi?"

Yun Xiao pondered a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was likely the truth. Otherwise, how could a large tree cultivate Spiritual Wisdom? Every formation of a Strange Spirit has its reasons.

As the three individuals harbored different thoughts, half a day quickly passed. During this half-day, Ling Wan remained motionless, and it was unknown to what extent he had refined himself.

Boom!

At a certain moment, a strong surge of energy erupted from Ling Wan’s body. Then, the Heaven and Earth Energy within Demon Suppressing Mountain rushed towards him, flooding into the meridians throughout his body.

In just a few breaths, Ling Wan’s Meridian Qi Cultivation skyrocketed from the Early Stage of Meridian Union to the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, thus confirming what Yun Xiao had just mentioned.

Mo Qing, who was standing by, had widened her eyes; compared to Liu Hanyi, he knew that it had been less than a month since Ling Wan had broken through to the Early Stage of Meridian Union after Yun Xiao returned to Baiyue City and used some methods to help him break through.

Yet, in less than a month, Ling Wan had made another breakthrough. Such a speed of breaking through was not only unprecedented in the Jade Pot Sect but probably rare across the entire Hidden Dragon Continent as well.

"Except for this monster!"

Thinking of a possibility, Mo Qing’s gaze inadvertently shifted back to Yun Xiao. However, at this moment, she clearly overlooked Yun Xiao’s cultivation speed and only remembered his combat strength.

To be honest, Yun Xiao’s cultivation speed was not very fast. The Ancient Dragon Taming Technique aimed to make his Meridian Qi more robust, and if cultivated step-by-step, it was comparable to that of an ordinary genius.

However, the power Yun Xiao demonstrated was so astonishing that it often made people forget his ordinary cultivation speed, which was why Mo Qing had such an illusion at this moment.

Regardless, Ling Wan’s acquisition of Mixed Element Qi and his enhancement to the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm would presumably have a profound impact on his participation in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference this time.

Although Ling Wan also had a Dragon Flag before, if it weren’t for Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi’s help, it would have been impossible for him, with his strength alone, to snatch a Dragon Flag from a half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon.

But now, with Ling Wan having broken through to the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, coupled with the formidable power of Mixed Element Qi, Yun Xiao had reasons to believe that even if he encountered elites from various empires, he would not be at a disadvantage. This was the confidence provided by the Mixed Element One Qi Body.

"Let’s go!"

Ling Wan’s strength had greatly advanced, and Yun Xiao was naturally quite pleased. He waved his hand and strode forward, followed closely by Liu Hanyi who suddenly remembered something and quickly caught up.

"There’s another problem!"

Catching up, Liu Hanyi turned her head to look at the placid Yun Xiao and said, "There are four of us here, but it seems we only have three Dragon Flags, right?"

This was the reason for Liu Hanyi’s concern. According to the rules set by Elder Meng Liyang, only those who had snatched one of the sixteen Dragon Flags could enter the final third round, and they were clearly one flag short at the moment.

"We’re going to continue looking for Dragon Flags, aren’t we? Hehe, if we really can’t find one, it’s not like there’s no solution!"

Yun Xiao turned his head and smiled, his last sentence leaving the three beside him somewhat puzzled, not understanding what he meant by that.

"If we can’t find one, it doesn’t mean others can’t. When the time comes, I’ll just snatch one, and some guys are not on good terms with me!"

Sensing the trio’s confusion, Yun Xiao explained with a laugh. As he spoke, familiar figures flashed through his mind.

Whether it was Shen Wannian of Yufeng Empire, Young Master Flying Flower Ye Shimei of Flying Flower Empire, Crown Prince Nie Qianqiu of Lingtian Empire, or Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding of Xuanyue Empire, they had all offended Yun Xiao in the past.

Yun Xiao was not someone who liked to steal things, but if he really couldn’t find another Dragon Flag in the end, he wouldn’t mind confronting those individuals for it. If they didn’t comply, he might have to resort to force.

After all, since these people had once offended him, asking them for a Dragon Flag didn’t burden Yun Xiao at all. However, this idea sounded somewhat inconceivable to Liu Hanyi and the others.

To find and successfully acquire a Dragon Flag, any individual capable of this feat was probably among the top-ranked geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Continent and at least at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm or beyond. How could it be as easy as claiming?

But thinking about this, the group glanced at Yun Xiao with twinkling eyes, thinking that perhaps their worries were redundant. After all, if one could kill a low-level Sixth Rank Strange Spirit, dealing with a few human geniuses in the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm would be a piece of cake, right?

The group continued toward the summit of Demon Suppressing Mountain. However, Yun Xiao’s good luck seemed to have run out at the moment he dealt with that tree spirit, and within the next two to three days, they found no more Dragon Flags.

Or perhaps the remaining Dragon Flags had already been taken. If that was truly the case, Yun Xiao might indeed have to resort to snatching, not knowing what awaited him at the summit of Demon Suppressing Mountain.
