Treatment begins

He invited Na Lan Jie to sit down and waited for a maid to bring him a cup of tea. →

Xiao Ming didn't rush to say anything, but instead savored his tea.

After waiting for a while, Na Lan Jie finally couldn't resist anymore.

He took the initiative to ask Xiao Ming, "Master Xiao Ming, what do you think of my body?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming looked him up and down, then said slowly, "Judging from his appearance, although Old Mr. Na Lan has an extraordinary Qi and Blood and the presence of a powerful figure, he is actually weak and emaciated, with a dark complexion. He must be suffering from some kind of deadly poison."

Na Lan Jie gave a thumbs up and said, "Good eye! As expected of Grade Six Alchemist Master, yes, I am indeed poisoned."

"Two years ago, I fought a highly venomous Fifth Tier Magical Beast, the Branding Iron Poisonous Seal Python. Although I eventually killed it, I was unfortunately injected with a terrifying toxin called Brand Poison... Master, you are an expert in alchemy, so you should know the power of this toxin. Records show that there are quite a few Sixth Tier Magical Beast that have been poisoned to death by the Branding Iron Poisonous Seal Python, even though they are of a higher tier. If it weren't for the fact that their numbers are so few that they are negligible, many powerful figures on the continent would probably turn pale with horror under this toxin."

"Branding Iron Poisonous Seal Python? The Brand Poison of this Magical Beast is indeed powerful. Old Mr. Na Lan was able to defeat and kill it. He truly deserves to be one of the Top Ten Powerhouses."

Upon hearing this, Na Lan Jie smiled bitterly, "Don't even mention the Top Ten Powerhouses. Ever since the branding poison from the Branding Iron Poisonous Seal Python Brand Poison was injected into my body, I haven't been able to unleash even half of my strength in order to suppress the poison. Now, I have to endure inhuman torture every day."

Xiao Ming asked knowingly, "So you called me here for this?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's question, Na Lan Jie's wry smile vanished, and he looked at him with renewed vigor.

"Yes, I once asked Master Gu He of my Misty Cloud Sect to help me neutralize the poison, but this Brand Poison is deeply embedded in my bones and even bone marrow, and no medicine can remove it. Although Master Gu He did not succeed in removing the poison, he still proposed a feasible solution, which is Heavenly Flames!"

"Gu He mentioned it to you, that I have Heavenly Flames?" Xiao Ming thought for a moment and understood. It was probably because Gu He sensed the Aura of the Heavenly Flames when he was refining the Breaking Sect Pill last time.

Alchemist possess exceptionally keen Mental Perception, so it's not surprising that Gu He was able to detect it.

Na Lan Jie's reply confirmed this, saying, "It was indeed Master Gu He who told me. Therefore, besides apologizing to you today, I also hope that Master Xiao Ming can help me remove the poison. My Nalan Family will offer a reward that will satisfy you."

As he spoke, Na Lan Jie took out more than a dozen jade boxes from his storage Na Ring. These jade boxes contained medicinal herbs, Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills.

Looking at those things, Xiao Ming shook his head.

Seeing Xiao Ming shake his head, Na Lan Jie was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Master, are you dissatisfied with this reward? The Nalan Family can continue to offer other rewards."

Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head. "Old Mr. Na Lan, these things are indeed very valuable, and in principle, they are worth my time. However, these items are not what I want."

"Master Xiao Ming, please let me know if you need anything."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ming said slowly, "I've heard that the Nalan Family has a Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva, which I'm very interested in."

Xiao Ming stopped there, and Na Lan Jie immediately understood, standing up and saying, "Tomorrow, the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva will be delivered to the master."

Xiao Ming was very pleased with Na Lan Jie's cooperative attitude. He said, "In that case, I will go to your residence tomorrow to treat Old Mr. Na Lan's Brand Poison."

Having received Xiao Ming's promise, Na Lan Jie left happily, leaving behind the things he had previously displayed.

Looking at those things, Xiao Ming shook his head and waved his hand to put them all into his Na Ring.

Upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Ming received exceptionally generous rewards. No wonder people say that Alchemist are incredibly wealthy; their earning power is astounding.

There certainly wouldn't be another expert of the same level.

The next day, after receiving the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva from Na Lan Jie, Xiao Ming went to the Nalan Family.

The Na Lan Clan's mansion was extremely large.

As Xiao Ming approached the imposing mansion, he discovered that Na Lan Jie was already waiting there.

Besides him, a middle-aged man stood at the gate of the Nalan Family. He stood as straight as a pine tree, and his tiger-like eyes exuded an imposing aura. His face bore a resemblance to Na Lan Jie.

Upon seeing Xiao Ming arrive, Na Lan Jie hurriedly went to greet him, laughing heartily.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ming, you've finally arrived."

"Old Mr. Na Lan, you've kept me waiting! And who is this?" Xiao Ming asked the middle-aged man beside him.

Without needing Na Lan Jie's introduction, the middle-aged man respectfully bowed to Xiao Ming and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Ming, I am Na Lan Su from the Na Lan Clan."

"It really is Na Lan Su, Na Lan Yan Ran's father." Xiao Ming nodded as a greeting, thinking to himself.

Seeing that his son had already greeted Xiao Ming, Na Lan Jie quickly invited Xiao Ming into the mansion.

Walking on the path paved with blue pebbles, Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

Since entering the depths of the Na Lan Clan, he has sensed subtle gazes and Soul Perception emanating from hidden corners.

On every rooftop, dark shadows lurk in the shadows, their sharp tips painted black to conceal their reflection in the sunlight. They move slowly through the mansion, ready to deliver their attack in an instant at the slightest disturbance.

It's clear that these things weren't directed at him, but rather a routine precaution.

"The Nalan Family truly Military Clan in the Jia Ma Empire; their security is incredibly tight. It's completely incomparable to the Xiao Family."

After thinking about all this, Xiao Ming looked up and gazed at the end of the path, where there was a luxurious hall.

He immediately said, "Old Mr. Na Lan, let's skip the formalities and proceed with the detoxification!"

Nalan, who was standing nearby, was taken aback. He did want to entertain Xiao Ming and show him hospitality, but Xiao Ming's words clearly indicated that he didn't want to waste time, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, follow me."

Finally, the Nalan father and son led Xiao Ming to a side room.

The room was quite spacious, with a large bed placed in the center.

Several maids were standing nearby.

This is the location that Na Lan Jie prepared for this trip.

Xiao Ming looked around and then said, "Those who are not involved, please leave."

"Master, I..." Na Lan Su hesitated, clearly wanting to stay.
