啪!
Just as Yun Xiao watched the Ling Wan return to his room to refine the Mixed Element Pill in hopes of breaking through further, the gate of his courtyard was suddenly being knocked on urgently from outside.
"Yun Xiao, are you there?"
Along with the urgent knocking, a voice that Yun Xiao was not too unfamiliar with rang out, carrying a trace of urgency that stirred his heart.
Creek!
Yun Xiao opened the courtyard gate and indeed saw standing outside was Si Mo, the Poison Meridian genius of Sky Poison Institute. His Poison Meridian Skill was second only to Ye Ku, known as the Son of Thousand Poisons, and he was the esteemed disciple of Elder Feng Qiyun.
Yun Xiao had previously had interactions with Si Mo in Refining Treasure Hall and Xuanyin Cave, and although Si Mo was a Poison Vein Master, like Ye Ku, he was someone Yun Xiao found straightforward and worthwhile to associate with.
"Si Mo... uh, Junior Brother, what brings you here in such a hurry?"
