Chapter 1868: It’s Ready Now!

The Holy Doctor Alliance is an extremely unique force within the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. This force remains detached from worldly matters unless provoked directly and does not typically involve itself in the continent’s affairs.

However, residing in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, no one can guarantee they won’t fall ill or get injured. When faced with severe illness or injury, they inevitably turn to the Holy Doctor Alliance.

Even a domineering power like the Emperor Canglong Palace is generally respectful towards the Holy Doctor Alliance. Firstly, they might seek their help, and secondly, this force poses no threat to Emperor Canglong’s ambition to dominate the continent.

In such circumstances, the Holy Doctor Alliance holds a transcendent status. When young talents venture out for experience, they tend to show some respect upon learning they belong to the Alliance of Ten Thousand Doctors.

Therefore, the talents of the Holy Doctor Alliance live without worry for food and clothing and without concerns for their safety, focusing solely on refining their Medical Pulse Technique. Figures like Wu Jiantong are only ranked third among the younger generation of the Holy Doctor Alliance.

Notably, there are very few young women in this generation of the Holy Doctor Alliance, and their talent is not impressive. This leads many ambitious young men to disregard them, until the arrival of Mo Qing.

Mo Qing hails from Tenglong Continent. Initially brought into the alliance by an elder who saw potential in her, she was disparaged by many of the alliance’s talents, considered possibly another pretty yet mediocre Medical Pulse Master.

Who knew within just over half a year, under the meticulous tutelage of the alliance elder, Mo Qing’s Meridian Qi Cultivation advanced rapidly, and her mastery of the Meridian Refining Technique progressed to an astonishing degree.

In a recent internal competition within the Holy Doctor Alliance, Mo Qing directly claimed the championship at the Heavenly Rank level, overshadowing the seasoned talents of the alliance, and could be termed invincible under the Holy Rank.

Only those few at the Hua Xuan Realm, whose Power of Soul had also reached Holy Rank Low Level, could manage to suppress her. Since that internal competition, Mo Qing stood out and attracted countless attention.

It’s even said that the alliance leader of the Holy Doctor Alliance once discussed with that elder the possibility of taking Mo Qing as a direct disciple, but they did not succeed due to the elder’s steadfastness.

This shows just how sought after Mo Qing is. A young lady of such astounding talent, coupled with her remarkable appearance, naturally invokes admiration. It’s rumored that the top three talents of the Holy Doctor Alliance all harbor a slight affection for her.

Wu Jiantong, the Holy Doctor Alliance’s third talent, was also sent by the sect to participate in the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting. Though kind-hearted, he harbors a competitive spirit, aiming to claim the title of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting and thereby attain the Dragon Energy to transform his life.

For Mo Qing’s sake, Wu Jiantong has never forgotten the search for the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder, hoping to successfully refine a Half-Life Pill to assist Mo Qing in quickly breaking through to the Half-step Holy Rank level.

Who knew, while the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder was found, it turned out to be a poisonous one. Even if Wu Jiantong successfully refined the Half-Life Pill, he dared not let Mo Qing consume it, for he could not bear the consequences.

Yun Xiao’s reaction made Wu Jiantong think deeply. When he posed his question, he fixed his gaze on the other, as if trying to glean some clue from the other’s expression.

"Frankly, Brother Wu, I too come from Tenglong Continent and had some acquaintance with Miss Mo Qing back then!"

Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t reveal the full extent of his relationship with Mo Qing, choosing instead to mix some insignificant truths and falsehoods. From the other’s attitude, he could already guess certain things.

After all, as soon as Wu Jiantong mentioned Mo Qing, his face lit up with excitement. If Yun Xiao withheld information about his and Mo Qing’s relationship, that would be a missed opportunity.

"I see, Miss Mo Qing would indeed be extremely delighted to know an old friend is here!"

Wu Jiantong indeed didn’t think otherwise, and once his words fell, he noticed the young man in white before him staring blankly at the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder in his hand.

"Didn’t you just say you wanted to refine a Half-Life Pill for Mo Qing?"

Yun Xiao stared at the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder for some time before posing such a question, leaving Wu Jiantong somewhat puzzled, thinking to himself that he had already made this clear.

"Indeed, but this gallbladder is highly toxic, making it unusable!"

Saying this, Wu Jiantong’s face showed sorrow. As his sigh fell, he retracted his right hand, promptly tossing the poisonous bear gallbladder aside, as it was harmful and useless.

Swish!

However, as Wu Jiantong tossed the bear gallbladder, he saw the young man opposite him reaching out, surprisingly reclaiming it into his palm. This scene made Wu Jiantong a little perplexed and uncertain.

"I have an old connection with Mo Qing, and since I’ve encountered this matter, I must lend a hand!"

Yun Xiao paid no heed to Wu Jiantong’s stunned expression, as a flash of light in his palm followed, Returning the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder to Wu Jiantong.

"It can be done now!"

The soft words from Yun Xiao left Wu Jiantong completely in the dark, utterly unable to comprehend what the other meant by that statement.

"What is ready?"

Wu Jiantong dumbfoundedly accepted the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder, and a vague thought seemed to arise in his heart but kept slipping away, making him quite frustrated, so he mumbled to himself.

"I mean, the deadly poison in this Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder has been resolved, and now it can be refined into a Half-Life Pill to give to your Junior Sister Mo Qing!"

Yun Xiao understood the other’s confusion; after all, his method just now was too bizarre, and it was normal for these geniuses from the Holy Doctor Alliance, who had never seen this before, to not understand. So he explained it again.

"The poison... has been resolved?!"

As Yun Xiao’s words left his mouth, Wu Jiantong’s face turned extremely colorful for a moment because this was exactly the thought that had just arisen in him but eluded his grasp.

But even though Wu Jiantong had this thought, he never expected it to become true. This matter seemed incredibly strange; how could such a powerful poison be completely resolved after being held by this guy for just a moment?

Wu Jiantong had used the Blood Testing Technique to examine it just now, and he’d never encountered such poison, let alone know how to resolve it, which was why he had thrown it away.

In Wu Jiantong’s view, if even he couldn’t resolve the poison, there was no way this young man in front of him could, yet the other just absorbed the bear gallbladder back into his hand and then handed it back, claiming the poison was resolved. Wasn’t this just trying to fool him?

"Wouldn’t it clarify if Brother Wu checked whether the bear gallbladder still contains poison?"

Yun Xiao knew that his method was astonishing to the point of being unbelievable, and even geniuses from the Holy Doctor Alliance likely had never seen anything like it, so he had no choice but to speak with facts.

In fact, Yun Xiao wasn’t using his own method just now but Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons. At times like this, he didn’t have time to study what kind of poison the Demon Spirit Bear had been poisoned with; it was much simpler and easier for Little Dragon to handle.

With Little Dragon’s increasing strength, his One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons technique was becoming increasingly adept. This minor trial of his abilities undoubtedly left the genius from the Holy Doctor Alliance in front of him stunned.

At Yun Xiao’s suggestion, the perplexed Wu Jiantong didn’t delay much. He squeezed out another drop of bright crimson blood from his fingertip and injected it into the bear gallbladder again.

"It’s... really gone?"

Once the Blood Testing Technique took effect, and Wu Jiantong didn’t find any tiny black-gray spots on the bear gallbladder, his heart couldn’t help but surge with waves of shock.

At this moment, Wu Jiantong even started to believe this young man might be setting him up, first planting a powerful poison on the bear gallbladder, then using his unique method to resolve the poison, all to impress him.

But he quickly dismissed this thought because he couldn’t figure out why the other would do such a thing. What benefit would it serve to merely stun a genius from the Holy Doctor Alliance?

"Could this guy truly be a hidden master?"

The thought crossed Wu Jiantong’s mind, and his guess was quite close to reality. Even without Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons, Yun Xiao’s Medical Pulse Technique was far superior to Wu Jiantong’s.

In terms of insight and experience, even if the Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Doctor Alliance himself were present, he might not be stronger than Yun Xiao. As for the current technique, it was something never before seen by Meridian Refining Masters across the entire continent.

"Brother Wu, shouldn’t you quickly store this Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder to avoid losing its potency?"

Yun Xiao didn’t have as many thoughts as Wu Jiantong; for him, this was a trivial effort. Since he couldn’t meet Mo Qing for the time being, why not help an old companion through Wu Jiantong’s hands?

"Yes, yes!"

Until Yun Xiao spoke, Wu Jiantong was pulled back from his daze. He was, after all, a renowned genius of the Holy Doctor Alliance. Now he steadied his mind, though when he looked at the young man across from him, his eyes were still filled with a mixture of doubt and awe.

If this young man wasn’t doing it deliberately, that would mean his Meridian Refining Technique was truly exceptional. Just from this one act, Wu Jiantong knew the other far surpassed him.

"Could it be that he’s a Poison Vein Master from Wansu Sect or Heart Poison Sect?"

Having calmed his mind, Wu Jiantong thought of another possibility. However, the other had just said he didn’t belong to any sect nor had a master; persisting in asking would be inappropriate.

After this incident, even though Wu Jiantong sensed that the white-robed youth named Yun Xing in front of him was still just at the Half-step Holy Rank, he could no longer underestimate him and rather began to take him seriously.

"Brother Yun Xing, you are also headed to the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, right? Why don’t we travel together for mutual support?"
