Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Brother Yun Xiao... No, Lord Yun Xiao, please save Zilang!"

When certain thoughts in his heart rose uncontrollably, Wang Zilang could no longer care so much, and directly prostrated himself on the bed, even changing his address to a respectful one.

"Since I promised you, I naturally won’t go back on my word, but..."

Yun Xiao looked at this impressionable young man and first affirmed him with a sentence. Then, he continued, "It’s not difficult to resolve your Innate Pulse Cutting, but unless the person who poisoned you is eliminated, even if you return to the Wang Family, you won’t escape danger!"

Perhaps this was what Yun Xiao was worried about. He was always one to hate evil with a vengeance and repay kindness. Since this young man had been kind to him, Yun Xiao would spare no effort to cure his Innate Pulse Cutting.

"Enough, once I’ve healed you, I’ll accompany you to Yulong City!"

After these concerns passed through his mind, Yun Xiao had made up his mind: with his current cultivation, a mere Yulong City wouldn’t have anyone capable of being his opponent, right?

In his past life, Yun Xiao was the Long Xiao Battle God, immensely familiar with this Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, but he had never heard of a Yulong City, indicating it was merely an extremely remote small city in the Western Regions.

In such a small city, Heavenly Rank Experts are rarely seen, let alone Holy Rank Experts. With Yun Xiao’s current strength, as long as there isn’t a true Holy Rank Third Realm expert, he wouldn’t have much to worry about.

Helping someone to the end, moreover, it’s Yun Xiao’s first return to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, and he needs to visit Yulong City to gather some information. After many years, what would those old acquaintances be like?

"Thank you, Lord Yun Xiao, I..."

"Just call me brother from now on, let’s call each other brothers!"

Yun Xiao’s words instantly made Wang Zilang excited, who wanted to kneel again, but before he could finish his sentence, Yun Xiao interrupted him. A mysterious force supported his body, preventing him from kneeling.

Having said what he wanted, Yun Xiao didn’t hesitate much more, and with a thought, Wang Zilang couldn’t move at all, only able to let Yun Xiao take action.

Thunk thunk thunk...

A series of tapping noises sounded within the hut. Although Wang Zilang hadn’t cultivated, he came from the Wang Family and had some insight. He knew Yun Xiao had started treating his Innate Pulse Cutting.

"Could it be that Brother Yun Xiao is actually a High Rank Meridian Refining Master?"

Feeling no pain at all, Wang Zilang’s thoughts were quite active. Even if unfamiliar with Yun Xiao’s tactics, he could guess it should be a high-grade Meridian Array.

In fact, Yun Xiao now was a genuine Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master, unmatched in Medical Pulse Technique or Poison Meridian Skill on the Tenglong Continent.

However, here in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Holy Rank Meridian Refining Masters were plentiful. Yun Xiao’s Meridian Refining Technique wasn’t considered top-notch, but curing Wang Zilang’s Innate Pulse Cutting was more than enough.

When Yun Xiao was on the Hidden Dragon Continent, he proposed a treatment for Innate Pulse Cutting, unexpectedly resulting in residual effects for Xue Ningxiang due to the joint efforts of several Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters.

If that method were applied by a Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Master, Yun Xiao wouldn’t have any involvement later. Thus, this time, Yun Xiao planned to cure Wang Zilang’s Innate Pulse Cutting directly.

Yun Xiao himself, as a Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master, could accomplish effects and speeds far beyond what Qian Sanyuan and others could, incomparable in every respect.

Boom!

Approximately 15 minutes later, an overwhelmingly powerful force erupted from Wang Zilang’s body, so formidable that even he found it extremely terrifying.

This time, Yun Xiao not only cured Wang Zilang’s Innate Pulse Cutting, but upon touching his acupoints, thoroughly dispelled the poison within him.

The subsequent Meridian Array was meant to completely unblock Wang Zilang’s sealed meridians, dormant for over ten years, allowing him to regain the qualification to cultivate Meridian Qi.

Moreover, Yun Xiao infused some of his own Qi into Wang Zilang while opening his meridians, showing immense generosity to his lifesaver.

The magnificence of Yun Xiao’s Qi was such that even a strand granted immense fortune to the previously powerless Wang Zilang. In mere moments, he transformed from a total waste without cultivation into a bona fide Peak Spirit Vein Realm expert.

Back then, after initially controlling her Innate Pulse Cutting, Xue Ningxiang spent several months to break through to the Meridian Rushing Realm, and she had her mother’s abundant Qi remaining.

Firstly, when Qian Sanyuan and several Earth Rank Meridian Refining Masters worked together, they didn’t completely cure Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting. Techniques employed now by Yun Xiao were entirely different.

Secondly, Qian Sanyuan and others hadn’t infused their Qi into Xue Ningxiang. Relying solely on her own power from the Xuanyin Hall’s young lady, even with her mother’s Qi Seal, achieving significant breakthroughs quickly was impossible.

However, Yun Xiao’s approach was different this time. With his formidable meridian refining techniques, it was impossible for Wang Zilang to encounter any mishaps, and he effortlessly reached the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm.

Perhaps there were other reasons involved. For instance, Wang Zilang had been afflicted with Innate Pulse Cutting due to poisoning, and now that the poison was completely resolved, coupled with Yun Xiao’s support, this transformation wasn’t too surprising.

"I... I..."

Sensing his own rapidly increasing strength, and the meridian qi aura that was even more powerful than Zeng Lianhu’s before, Wang Zilang was so excited that he was nearly incoherent.

From the day Wang Zilang was born, it was destined that he would spend his life amidst endless ridicule and disdain. Being relegated to this Five Desolate Village wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for him.

Wang Zilang once believed he would spend his entire life muddling through in Five Desolate Village, but who knew that surprise would come one day, when a young man he rescued by chance easily resolved his Innate Pulse Cutting ailment?

And more than that, with the resolution of Innate Pulse Cutting in an instant, it even propelled his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm. All of this makes Wang Zilang feel like he’s dreaming.

In fact, over the years, Wang Zilang indeed dreamed more than once of his Innate Pulse Cutting being resolved, becoming one of the top geniuses of the Wang Family, and even his two elder brothers no longer daring to look down on him.

Unfortunately, every beautiful dream shattered upon waking, several times brought back to reality by Zeng Lianhu’s whip, creating a stark contrast that drove him deeper into despair.

"Stop your idle thoughts, focus and calm yourself, familiarize with this explosive increase in cultivation!"

Seeing Wang Zilang opening his eyes at such a crucial moment, almost excitedly waving his arms, Yun Xiao felt a little disheartened and sharply reprimanded him, finally calming the boy down.

"Familiarize yourself with your cultivation, tomorrow morning, we shall set out for Yulong City!"

Suppressing Wang Zilang’s excitement, Yun Xiao’s next words almost made the Third Young Master Wang lose his composure again, for ’returning home in glory’ might be referring exactly to his circumstance.

Wang Zilang too has a young and passionate heart; previously tormented by Innate Pulse Cutting, he only wished to end his days in Five Desolate Village. Now, a sudden change, having attained the peak of Spirit Vein Realm, he yearns to let everyone in Yulong City know.

The person Wang Zilang most wants to inform is undoubtedly his father; he has seen his father’s look of disappointment and melancholy many times. Sending him to Five Desolate Village was merely out of pressure, forced by circumstances.

Wang Zilang never blamed his father; as the Wang Family Patriarch, he knows his father has too many concerns to handle and cannot allow certain individuals to use his matter as leverage.

After finally suppressing the excitement within his heart, Wang Zilang entered a normal state of cultivation, while Yun Xiao nodded slightly and found a spot to sit cross-legged, also beginning cultivation.

A night quickly passed.

When the next morning arrived, the drizzle had already stopped. The first light of dawn appeared in the east, as if heralding the rebirth of a completely new Wang Zilang.

"How is it? The cultivation at the peak of Spirit Vein Realm, doesn’t it feel great?"

Yun Xiao’s eyes had long opened. When he saw Wang Zilang open his eyes too, he spoke with a smile, making the latter instantly realize that this time, it’s truly not a dream.

"Brother Yun Xiao’s life-saving grace, Zilang can never repay, please accept Zilang’s bow!"

Finally believing that it’s not an illusion, Wang Zilang leaped off the bed to bow before Yun Xiao, but was unexpectedly held up by a mysterious invisible force.

"You saved my life, I resolved your Innate Pulse Cutting. In truth, I’m the one taking advantage here, so no need for such courtesy!"

Preventing Wang Zilang from kneeling down, a smile appeared on Yun Xiao’s face. Indeed, if not for such a reason, how could he help Wang Zilang till the end and head to Yulong City together?

The life of Yun Xiao is precious; now having returned to Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, he has numerous important matters awaiting him. He cannot afford to be inexplicably drowned in a river.

"Let’s go!"

Yun Xiao didn’t offer many polite words; hearing him utter these two words, he led the way out of the straw hut. Behind him, Wang Zilang helplessly but hurriedly followed suit.

"Ah, today’s sunlight is truly bright!"

Eyes squinting from the sunlight outside the hut, Wang Zilang felt unprecedentedly carefree. With a heartfelt remark, the silhouettes of the two quickly disappeared from Five Desolate Village.
