Chapter 23: Twenty-three Meridian Spirit
"Is it... a Spirit Vein Realm practitioner?!"
The moment Yun Xiao saw the elder through the broken doorway, he sensed something, even though his own cultivation had only just broken through to the early stage of the Meridian Introduction Realm, his insight was unmatched throughout the Hidden Dragon Continent.
Meridian Qi cultivation consists of the Mortal Rank’s three realms: Meridian Qi, Meridian Introduction, and Meridian Gathering; above these lie the Spiritual Rank’s three realms: Meridian Rushing, Meridian Union, and Spirit Vein. Yun Xiao could tell at a glance that the elder was a Spirit Vein Realm practitioner because reaching this realm brings an essential transformation to a cultivator.
Yun Xiao’s cultivation might be insignificant, but his discerning eyes remained sharp. The appearance of such a Spirit Vein Realm powerhouse in Moon Bow City was truly an extraordinary event, no wonder Shang Li was so extremely anxious just now.
Regrettably, it was precisely because Shang Li was too nervous that he was outsmarted by Yun Xiao, his forceful punch shattering the door of the Alchemy Room. This time, he was really in trouble.
Yun Xiao knew from the light sound earlier that, just like himself, the elder in the Alchemy Room had been disrupted at the last step of fusing the medicinal essence, resulting in failure.
It was indeed instant retribution. Thinking back to his own burst of anger when he was interrupted, Yun Xiao could imagine how the elder must be feeling, which is why he immediately entered a state of ’enjoying the show’.
"Dumb fool!"
The green-clothed elder inside the room stared at the empty Medicine Tripod for what seemed like several breaths before letting out an angry roar. Hearing this roar, Shang Li’s previously frozen right fist hastily retreated.
"Die!"
