"Using fire to counter ice? That's a bit naive!"

Watching Wu Jia's actions and sensing that trace of blazing power, the sneer in Yun Xiao's eyes did not diminish. Such a method might work against the common Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Cold Poison, but now, this was the One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons of the Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit.

As a peak Earth Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, Wu Jia wore a confident smile. The reason he chose to act at this moment was not only because both belonged to the Poison Vein faction, but he also wanted Liang Li to owe him a favor.

Furthermore, it wasn't just Wu Jia fighting at this time. Liang Li himself was also activating his Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein to counter the cold poison of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. With two against one, they were confident they could quickly dissolve the cold poison.

"Hmm? Something's wrong!"

However, as time passed, Wu Jia was the first to sense something amiss. He felt a trace of ice cold qi travel from his right index and middle fingers into the various major meridians of his arm.

Wu Jia was truly astonished. He never imagined that trying to help Liang Li dissolve the Ice Cold Poison would lead to a situation where even he was dragged into the fire.

The Ice Cold Poison Wu Jia was trying to dissolve not only didn't weaken at all, but after invading his arm's meridians, it became even more intense, causing his old face to turn extremely grim.

This situation was also watched by the surrounding people. Instantly, their expressions turned somewhat doubtful, and some of the Meridian Refining Masters who had stepped forward to get a closer look quietly retreated, seemingly frightened by Wu Jia's expression.

Crack! Crack!

At the same time, from beneath Liang Li's chest and abdomen, crystalline ice flowers suddenly bloomed. In just a moment, they had covered his upper garment with a layer of hard ice, appearing extremely mysterious.

"This… No! Don't!"

Even though Liang Li was an ungrateful person, this moment horrified him to the point of his soul scattering, because no matter how he activated the power of his Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein, the Ice Cold Poison did not weaken in the slightest, and it seemed as if he was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture.

The ice flowers on his chest and abdomen continued to spread. Liang Li knew that this was his life-or-death moment. If those ice flowers truly froze his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, and then his head, it would be beyond saving.

"Yun… Yun Xing sir, please help… help me!"

It must be said that someone as shameless as Liang Li, who could be ruthless would be, and when needed, could humble himself. So, when he felt his life was truly at risk, he immediately stepped forward two steps and pleaded out loud.

"The Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad…"

"It's yours!"

Seeing his imminent demise, Liang Li no longer cared about the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. He interrupted Yun Xiao's words impatiently; the threat of death was simply too terrifying.

In fact, if previously Yun Xiao had settled conditions with Liang Li while he was conscious, all these troubles wouldn't have arisen later.

It was precisely this "unawareness" that led Liang Li to behave ungratefully after being saved by Yun Xiao, refusing to give up the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad and acting shamelessly.

But at this moment, under the threat of death, Liang Li knew that no amount of deceit would be of any use. First and foremost, he needed to secure his own life.

"Hehe, Elder Liang Li's words, everyone heard, right? Please bear witness for me!"

Yet at such a life-or-death moment, Yun Xiao remained calm, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, and his words left everyone momentarily stunned.

In fact, the crowd's view of Yun Xiao was not favorable. People are naturally envious, and Yun Xiao had gained such prominence today that it made many feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Liang Li showed ingratitude earlier, no one spoke up for Yun Xiao. Who would have expected that even without support, this self-proclaimed Yun Xing could turn the situation around, leaving Liang Li to plead himself?

Even though everyone saw Liang Li ensnaring himself and being poisoned by the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, which also left Wu Jia, the Second Elder, suffering, they sensed something amiss whenever they looked at the ever-smiling Yun Xing.

From the start, Yun Xing was excessively calm and assured, as if he had anticipated this outcome. Some people recalled Yun Xiao's previous words and were internally contemplative.

In fact, Yun Xiao had warned Liang Li twice not to absorb the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad into his body, or else the toxin would endanger his life, words which now turned prophetic and played out right before everyone's eyes.

Those present here were no fledglings, and if someone claimed this matter had nothing to do with Yun Xing, none of them would believe it, even if they were beaten to death.

"Could it be that Yun Xing is actually a Low-level Earth Rank Poison Vein Master?"

Some sharp-minded individuals thought of a possibility, and their expressions changed again. Just now, Yun Xiao's Low-level Earth Rank Soul had already been revealed, so no one would doubt that he was a Low-level Earth Rank Medical Pulse Master.

However, even on the Tenglong Continent, Meridian Masters who cultivate both medical and poison techniques are extremely rare, let alone someone who has cultivated both meridian refining techniques to the same high level.

Earlier, Yun Xiao's two methods were both Medical Pulse Techniques for curing and healing, but this time, detoxifying and administering poison is likely Poison Meridian Skill. If the severe poison affecting Liang Li and Wu Jia was truly administered by Yun Xing, then his Poison Meridian Skill has probably reached at least Low-level Earth Rank.

Yet no one clearly knows how Yun Xing managed to administer the severe poison under the watchful eyes of the crowd. They have reason to believe that if it were truly the ordinary Ice Cold Poison of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, under the combined efforts of Liang Li and Wu Jia, it likely would have been neutralized.

The Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit's technique of One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons is beyond the imagination of these Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Masters at Earth Rank. Overall, at this moment, both Liang Li and Wu Jia were overwhelmed, especially Liang Li, as the ice flowers were about to spread to his neck.

Yun Xiao, however, did not waste time. After saying a word to the crowd, he took a step forward, placing his left hand on Liang Li's chest and abdomen, and a strange cold qi swept out.

Something miraculous happened. The Ice Cold Power that Liang Li used all his strength and still couldn't dispel began to melt visibly when touched by Yun Xiao's hand. Finally, it disappeared suddenly before it could drop to the ground.

Swoosh!

Moments later, Yun Xiao finally withdrew his left hand, and the crowd only felt a flash of cold light, then saw that the man's hand now held a translucent and crystal-clear rare object, which was none other than the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

It seems that Yun Xiao not only easily neutralized the Cold Poison affecting Liang Li but also casually retrieved his "spoils of war." After all, his ultimate goal was just this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

Feeling the Cold Poison dissipate within him, Liang Li couldn't help but breathe a big sigh of relief. However, his gaze fixed on the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad in Yun Xiao's hand was filled with a touch of reluctance and complex emotions.

"I will definitely reclaim the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad!"

Now that the life-threatening danger is gone, Liang Li's greed rose once again. Someone like him would never introspect, he believes that everything is a calculated scheme by Yun Xing, his intentions are vile.

As for Liang Li's thoughts, Yun Xiao naturally cannot guess, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care in the slightest. With his temperament, how could he not have some contingencies?

"Mr. Yun Xing, you see..."

After Yun Xiao absorbed the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, a voice reached his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw the speaker was Wu Jia, the Second Elder of the Lushan City Meridian Refining Master Guild.

The crowd at this moment also noticed Wu Jia's condition, seeing that one of the Second Elder's right arms had been frozen into an Ice Arm, and it looked as if it was about to spread to his right shoulder, appearing quite strange.

"Hehe, small matter!"

Seeing the hint of awkward flattery on Wu Jia's face, Yun Xiao understood what the other party was thinking. At this moment, he didn't want to break off relations with the Meridian Refining Master Guild, so he immediately stepped over, replicating the process to dissolve the Ice Cold Poison on Wu Jia's right arm.

"Thank... Thank you!"

To be honest, Wu Jia suffered disaster without reason while trying to show off, but like all Poison Vein Masters, their city mansion is profound. Although he uttered words of thanks, the glint deep in his eyes was identical to Liang Li's.

"No need for thanks!"

Yun Xiao pretended not to see, waved his hand, and then said loudly: "Speaking of which, I took advantage. Now that the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is no longer wanted by Elder Liang Li, is it?"

"No! No!"

Under such circumstances, Liang Li naturally wouldn't repeat his past mistake, especially without understanding why the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Cold Poison became so powerful. Even if he seized the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, he wouldn't dare to refine it easily.

A glimmer of unknown light flashed in Liang Li's eyes, secretly deciding to find an opportunity to capture this Yun Xing. By then, he would surely be able to extract the method to control that Cold Poison from this guy.

This farce thus ended, leaving everyone with a sense of unfulfilled curiosity, as if today's disciple selection at the Lushan City Meridian Refining Master Guild wasn't as exciting as the events surrounding Yun Xing.

Nevertheless, the disciple selection of the Meridian Refining Master Guild still had to continue. Many meridian masters who hadn't obtained a spot returned to the proper course, but thinking that three spots were all given to Yun Xing, they were somewhat indignant.

"Where on earth did this guy come from, how could he be such a demon?"
