Tit for tat

Family Head Shang Li, despite voicing his question, could never believe the implications in his heart, for as the overseer of the Commerce Medicine Pavilion, he knew all too well the arduous path to becoming a Meridian Refining Master.

One of the prerequisites—possessing a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein—already barred the vast majority of cultivators on the continent from entry. Within the entire Shang Family, the only one to have activated an Ancestor Vein was the Family Head Shang Yan, yet the vein he activated was not of the Fire Attribute.

Three days ago, Shang Li had seen Yun Xiao in the Righteous Hall. At that time, Yun Xiao was merely at the late stage of the Qi Gathering. He absolutely couldn't believe that in a mere three days, Yun Xiao had not only advanced to the Meridian Introduction Realm but had also acquired a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein.
