Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

What no one noticed was that, as the space suddenly filled with people, bringing a multitude of presences, some unknown changes began to occur in the skeletal corpse lying on the central platform.

”Haha, it looks like all the most important treasures inside this Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Treasure are gathered here!”

Cao Family Head Cao Kong glanced at Yun Xiao from a distance before he shifted his gaze to the center, where he immediately noticed the three items placed in front of the skeletons.

As a cultivator from the Hidden Dragon Continent like Cao Kong, he naturally could not recognize the Dragon Summoning Tree, so his attention first settled on the scroll and Jade Bottle.

The belongings left behind by a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master would undoubtedly be extraordinary, far surpassing the low-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures found earlier.

In their hearts, Cao Kong and the others still harbored hope; even though the Meridian Treasure came from a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master, there might still be advanced items of Spiritual Rank. If they could obtain such treasures, the entire family’s strength could leap forward significantly.

If such treasures really existed, they would most likely be located on the platform with the skeletons. Hence, with Cao Kong’s hearty laughter expressing his desire, everyone present surged with eagerness.

Swish!

The first to act was the top talent of the Poison Vein lineage of the Jade Pot Sect, Yue Qi. He believed his strength was unrivaled among all cultivators present and understood well the principle of striking first.

Seeing Yue Qi’s action, the family heads of the Zhao and Cao families were not slow to react. Although they harbored fear towards the Poison Vein lineage of the Jade Pot Sect, they were willing to set aside these concerns in the face of priceless treasures.

Here lay an ownerless Meridian Treasure, and its contents belonged to whoever claimed them first. The Jade Pot Sect was not an unreasonable sect. If they were to create difficulties over this issue later, it would seem rather unjustifiable.

”Be careful, I’m making my move!”

As three figures rapidly approached the central area, Mo Qing quickly made a decision and, after whispering a word of warning to Yun Xiao, whose cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Meridian Rushing Realm, she leaped into action and joined the fray.

Mo Qing’s words were obviously intended for Yun Xiao, and she knew which item Yun Xiao valued most. Compared to the scroll and Jade Bottle, perhaps there was a greater chance of obtaining that item.

The four cultivators at the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm converged in the central region with incredible speed. It’s worth mentioning that both Cao and Zhao family heads immediately aimed for the black Jade Bottle as their first target.

Generally, scrolls record either Cultivation Techniques, Meridian Techniques, or Pill Recipes and Meridian Arrays. For family heads like those of the Zhao and Cao families, their clans were not lacking in Cultivation Techniques or Meridian Techniques, so such items did not tempt them greatly.

However, within the Meridian Treasure of a Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master, the most probable contents of a Jade Bottle would be an Elixir.

Obtaining an elixir of Spiritual Rank Intermediate or even Spiritual Rank Advanced would be perfect for cultivators like the Zhao and Cao family heads, who were in the Meridian Union Realm. Therefore, their targets aligned at last.

”Get lost!”

Cao Kong was undoubtedly faster, but Zhao Huan was not far behind. Seeing a figure flash before him, Cao Kong let out a loud shout. In the face of treasures, this fellow family head of the Zhao Family, also at the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm, was clearly not in his good graces.

Just days ago, these two family heads had joined forces against a common enemy in Yun Xiao outside of the Meridian Treasure. But now, influenced by the potential treasures, they were involved in a fierce clash; the allure of possible treasures dictated the situation.

As these two engaged in battle, on the other side, Mo Qing had a very clear goal: to obtain the Dragon Summoning Tree that shocked Yun Xiao into speechlessness. Although she was unaware of the special effects of this tree, she chose to trust Yun Xiao’s judgment.
