"It really works!"
When Yun Xiao injected the first drop of essence blood into Xue Tianao’s body, he immediately noticed some differences, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
Yun Xiao could clearly sense that the essence blood he injected, under the stimulation of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, had miraculously repaired several meridians in Xue Tianao’s right wrist.
Such a miraculous scene was something Yun Xiao had never heard of before, especially since he had been unconscious when his own meridians were repaired at the Shang Family Snake Nest.
Only at this moment did Yun Xiao truly witness the wonders of his bloodline and the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, which could repair severed meridians that even most Holy Rank Meridian Refining Masters at the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud could do nothing about.
Yun Xiao knew well that meridian ruptures like Xue Tianao’s were theoretically repairable, but it usually required some special Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the most elite Holy Rank Meridian Refining Master.
Even then, the repaired meridians would be barely functional, and the future cultivation talent would never recover to its peak, nor could it break through to a higher realm.
In such cases, even at the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, unless it was for the most cherished family and friends facing such a calamity, those Holy Rank Meridian Refining Masters would certainly not act lightly.
Clearly, it was a laborious and thankless task with no benefits, and a mishap could even damage their reputation.
However, Yun Xiao never expected that the meridian repair, a major problem in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, could be accomplished by him so easily.
Sensing those repaired meridians, without even the slightest flaw, Yun Xiao had reason to believe that his methods were probably more effective than those of the Holy Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.
"It seems a single drop of essence blood is far from enough!"
However, the next moment, Yun Xiao’s expression turned somewhat melancholic because the first essence blood he used only repaired a few of Xue Tianao’s meridians.
The human body contains countless meridians, easy to damage, but thinking about repairing them one by one is incredibly daunting.
This is also why the Holy Rank Meridian Refining Masters of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, even if they have such means, aren’t willing to act easily. Finding all the human body meridians for repair is truly an immense task.
Fortunately, Yun Xiao’s method at this moment was quite different from ordinary Meridian Refining Masters. With the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, he only needed to continuously inject his essence blood into Xue Tianao’s body.
The essence blood belonging to Yun Xiao seemed to have a certain spirituality. It would actively seek out the severed meridians and restore them perfectly, like a natural instinct.
Whoosh!
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Yun Xiao injected the second drop of essence blood into Xue Tianao without any hesitation. Even though he didn’t have much to do with Xue Tianao, strictly speaking, this person did save his life.
Back on Impermanence Island, when Wu Zhukong and Wei Duzheng attacked Yun Xiao, Xue Tianao could have stayed out of it, yet he stood up to defend him without hesitation.
Perhaps Xue Ningxiang was part of the reason, but Yun Xiao was someone who always repaid kindness, not to mention that if he could completely heal Xue Tianao, it would also be a great thing for humanity.
"Aunt Luo, has Yun Xiao...found a way to save father?"
Xue Ningxiang hadn’t noticed Yun Xiao’s subtle essence blood ritual, but she clearly saw the fleeting joy on his face just now.
However, Xue Ningxiang was quite skeptical of her perception and hoped that Lian Yuluo, a nearby Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Meridian Refiner, could provide a definitive answer. freēwebnovel.com
"I don’t know if he’s found a way or not, but whether or not he can heal the Hall Master this time, Ningxiang, we owe Yun Xiao a tremendous favor!"
Lian Yuluo’s sensing ability far surpassed that of Xue Ningxiang. Even though Yun Xiao’s essence blood ritual was very discreet, she still sensed it clearly and spoke with emotion.
"Of course!"
Xue Ningxiang clearly didn’t grasp the deeper meaning of Lian Yuluo’s words. She nodded instinctively, for whatever the case, she and Lian Yuluo were alive today because of Yun Xiao.
"Ningxiang, pay attention. Yun Xiao is using his essence blood to save the Hall Master. Do you know the consequence of this?"
Lian Yuluo, with a look of gratitude, finally explained, unreserved, allowing some nearby cultivators to hear it clearly.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, others were shocked, while Xue Ningxiang’s face changed dramatically. It seemed she wanted to step forward and pull Yun Xiao away because she couldn’t bear the thought of the consequences.
Xue Ningxiang didn’t know if Yun Xiao could heal Xue Tianao, but she was certain that if Yun Xiao lost too much essence blood, it might have a severe impact on his future cultivation foundation.
Although Xue Ningxiang was extremely worried about her father, she also didn’t want Yun Xiao to suffer any harm because of it. The choice between the two was indeed too difficult.
"Sister Ningxiang, don’t worry, that guy knows his limits!"
Just as Xue Ningxiang was caught in a dilemma, a gentle voice suddenly echoed in her ear. When she turned her head to look, she found that Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had quietly approached.
The speaker was Liu Hanyi. Although she was also a bit worried about Yun Xiao, she understood the young man she met on the Hidden Dragon Continent better than Xue Ningxiang did.
In Liu Hanyi’s impression, Yun Xiao seemed to never fight a battle he wasn’t confident of winning; once he made a move, it was certain to be well thought out.
Therefore, Liu Hanyi had reason to believe that since Yun Xiao dared to use his essence blood to heal Xue Tianao now, he must have his own considerations and would never put himself in a hopeless situation.
"Sister Hanyi, is it really like that?"
Liu Hanyi’s words undoubtedly helped Xue Ningxiang to put down some of her dilemmas, but she still turned sideways to ask, and only upon seeing Mo Qing slightly nodding did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After fighting side by side at Denghai Pier and Impermanence Island, these women, including Xu Hongzhuang and Hu Ying’er, had long become good friends who shared everything.
Although they all had some feelings for Yun Xiao, they never felt any jealousy towards each other. Instead, their bonds became closer because of their connection to Yun Xiao.
It’s worth mentioning that it was previously impossible for Xue Ningxiang to call Liu Hanyi "sister." However, at this moment, concern bred chaos, and her fiery personality finally subdued somewhat.
In fact, Liu Hanyi had made a small miscalculation this time. Although Yun Xiao was sure to some extent about healing Xue Tianao with his essence blood, he wasn’t certain about how much was needed to completely repair Xue Tianao’s entire meridians.
In such circumstances, Yun Xiao could only passively inject one stream of essence blood after another into Xue Tianao’s body, striving to repair his meridians to the best of his ability.
Time quickly passed for a day and a night!
During this day and night, everyone kept their eyes glued to the plain-clothed young man or rather the spot where the old and the young were located, all wanting to know the result.
If Yun Xiao could truly heal the meridians of the severed Xue Tianao with the essence blood method, it would undoubtedly create another miracle that could rewrite the history of Tenglong Continent.
However, as time went on, Xue Tianao’s breath became more and more stable, whereas the face of that plain-clothed young man grew paler.
This was a sign of excessive blood loss, not to mention that what Yun Xiao sacrificed within this day and night was the very foundation of his entire bloodline, a loss that even he could barely endure.
"Yun Xiao..."
After this day and night, Xue Ningxiang, who originally trusted Liu Hanyi’s words that Yun Xiao wouldn’t fight a battle he wasn’t sure of winning, now had tears in her beautiful eyes.
Beside her, Lian Yuluo was also deeply moved. As a Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Meridian Refiner, perhaps she could sense more than Xue Ningxiang that Yun Xiao might now be at the end of his rope.
This was evident from Yun Xiao’s bloodless face; Lian Yuluo didn’t know if Yun Xiao’s foundation in cultivation had been affected due to the excessive consumption of essence blood.
However, at this time, no one interrupted Yun Xiao’s actions. Things had come to this point, and unless they continued with one determined effort, interrupting forcibly would not only render Xue Tianao’s recovery a failure, but Yun Xiao’s essence blood sacrifices would also be wasted.
"Almost there, just a little more!"
The thoughts of outsiders were none of Yun Xiao’s concern at this moment. As the involved party, he knew he was at a highly critical point; success or failure depended on this last effort.
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao forcibly suppressed the dizziness in his mind, gritted his teeth, and once again released a drop of his crimson essence blood, injecting it into Xue Tianao’s body.
Boom!
At this very moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from the Xuanyin Hall Master’s body, whom meridians had previously been cut off, directly pushing Yun Xiao back several steps, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Finally, it’s a success! I need a rest now!"
While everyone was stunned by the sudden change, Yun Xiao’s face showed a satisfied smile, as if he had accomplished something that greatly pleased him.
And just as the murmurs left his lips, his body tilted, and he finally collapsed onto the ground, falling into a special slumber.
Hearing Yun Xiao’s soft voice, Xue Ningxiang found she could no longer control her tears, which fell to the ground and shattered into droplets of water.
