Chapter 124 Outer Sect First
"Shen Xiao!"
Yun Xiao, who had already entered the Outer Sect of the Jade Pot Sect, naturally remembered this name, as Shen Xiao was none other than the second-ranked individual on the Mortal List of the Outer Sect.
Guan Tong was half a step into the Meridian Rushing Realm and was only ranked third on the Mortal List, which made Yun Xiao believe that his recent sensations were not unfounded.
Moreover, considering Shen Xiao’s strong performance earlier, he had every reason to believe that this standout figure of the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Sect had genuinely reached the level of the Meridian Rushing Realm.
This was also the first Meridian Rushing Realm genius Yun Xiao encountered in the Outer Sect of the Jade Pot Sect. Shen Xiao possessed a unique aura, an intangible soul fluctuation of a Meridian Refining Master, which only Yun Xiao, being a Meridian Refining Master himself, could specially sense.
Yun Xiao guessed correctly; the newcomer was indeed Shen Xiao, ranked second on the Mortal List of the Outer Sect. He had also taken on the same low-level Spiritual Rank mission, hence he directly entered the crater of Yurong Mountain upon arrival.
Shen Xiao naturally recognized Guan Tong. However, as talents destined to enter the Inner Sect after this competition in the Outer Sect, how could he possibly pay any attention to someone who hadn’t even reached the Meridian Rushing Realm?
With a casual strike, it was simply because Shen Xiao was interested in the Fire Spirit Crystal within the body of the Fire Spirit Snake; besides, he was more aware than Guan Tong and, to avoid any prolonged complications, he must secure the Fire Spirit Crystal of the Fire Spirit Snake quickly.
Upon taking on this low-level Spiritual Rank mission, Shen Xiao knew that this so-called Fire Spirit Snake was not an ordinary Vein Demon, but belonged to the category of Strange Spirits, whose combat power was much stronger than that of a typical Fourth Rank Low Level Vein Demon.
Fire Spirit Snakes typically live within volcanic magma and only emerge for one month each year, which coincides with when the Jade Pot Sect issues its missions.
