Using Heavenly Flames to Expel Poison
"What are you thinking? The master said you can leave, so you have to leave!" Na Lan Jie scolded before Xiao Ming could speak.
"Well... alright." Na Lan Su sighed and turned to leave.
Watching this scene, Xiao Ming couldn't help but think to himself, "Na Lan Jie is truly awe-inspiring in the Nalan Family. His son didn't even utter a sound when he scolded him. No wonder Na Lan Yan Ran had to go to the Xiao Family through the Misty Cloud Sect to try and annul the engagement. If Na Lan Yan Ran hadn't been taken in as a disciple by Yun Yun, she might really have married Xiao Yan."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming shook his head. There were countless women like Na Lan Yan Ran in this world. Yun Yun was able to withstand the pressure from the Nalan Family and the risk of offending him to propose annulment to the Xiao Family. She was really good to Na Lan Yan Ran, just like how his teacher, Elder Huo, treated him.
Thinking of his teacher, Xiao Ming's lips curled into a smile.
With the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva obtained from the Nalan Family, Teacher will surely be able to break through to the Grade Six Alchemist.
Banishing the thoughts from his mind, Xiao Ming called out to Na Lan Su, who was about to leave with the maid, "Relatives don't need to leave. If anything happens while you're here, I can discuss it with you."
Having Heavenly Flames enter one's body is an extremely dangerous thing. Although Xiao Ming believed that his fire control skills were sufficient to ensure that no problems would occur, there are always exceptions, so it would be better for Na Lan Su to stay.
Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Na Lan Su, who was near the door, immediately ran back.
Ignoring him, Xiao Ming said to Na Lan Jie, "Take off your shirt, otherwise the temperature of the Heavenly Flames will set it on fire later. After you take it off, sit cross-legged on the bed."
Na Lan Jie did as he was told.
Xiao Ming walked to the bedside and looked at Na Lan Jie's emaciated body, which resembled a skeleton, after he took off his clothes. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This Chrome Poison was truly vicious.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ming slowly extended his middle finger, a wisp of Red Flame swirling around its tip.
Xiao Ming stared at the wisp of Red Flame and calmly said, "I'm about to begin. Let me explain first: using Heavenly Flames to enter Old Man Na Lan's body is an extremely dangerous matter, so you must be prepared for the worst..."
Upon hearing this, Na Lan Su's expression changed slightly, but he could only nod with a wry smile.
"Haha, Master Xiao Ming, please go ahead and treat me. I believe in you!" Now that things have come to this, Na Lan Jie, the one being treated, seems quite carefree and not too worried.
Xiao Ming nodded slowly, his Soul Power slowly extending from his body, then enveloping the wisp of Red Flame, trying his best to suppress its scorching heat, and then gently touching it on Na Lan Jie's back.
With a flick of his finger, the Red Flame shot into Na Lan Jie's body with a "poof," and the previously calm latter let out a muffled groan, his body trembling violently.
With a serious expression, Xiao Ming placed his finger on Na Lan Jie's back. He controlled the wisp of Red Flame with his Soul Power, quickly traversing through some main meridians and gradually approaching the bones in Nalan Jie's body that were covered by the Brand Poison.
With the help of extending his Soul Power, the condition of Na Lan Jie's body also appeared in Xiao Ming's mind. Sensing those bones that had almost turned black, Xiao Ming's brows gradually furrowed.
It was initially thought that if Na Lan Jie had been poisoned a few years earlier, his condition wouldn't have been so severe, but now it seems that's not the case.
"It seems impossible to expel the toxins all at once today. Let's take it slow..."
Muttering to himself, Xiao Ming enveloped the Red Flame with his Soul Power and slowly approached the dark bones covered in poison.
As they approached, Xiao Ming's Soul Power gradually began to relax, and the temperature of the Red Flame quietly increased.
As the temperature of the Red Flame rose, Na Lan Jie gradually felt pain on his face. Beads of sweat appeared on his cheeks, and his withered hands clenched tightly, the veins on his arms throbbing.
The Red Flame, enveloped in Soul Power, stopped rising once they reached each temperature threshold.
Xiao Ming slowly inhaled the slightly hot air, and with a thought, the Red Flame within Na Lan Jie's body covered a section of black bone.
"Ah..."
On the bed, Na Lan Jie, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened them, letting out a hoarse, painful roar, and a fierce aura emanated from his body.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Na Lan Su hurriedly called out as he looked at the old man who had suddenly opened his eyes and roared.
"Don't move! Otherwise, if the treatment fails, I won't be responsible." Xiao Ming glanced at Na Lan Jie, whose face was covered in sweat, and said calmly.
With a twitching mouth and enduring the excruciating pain within his body, Na Lan Jie gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control for a moment. Master Xiao Ming, please continue!"
"Hmm," Xiao Ming responded, then closed his eyes and began operating the device.
As the silence fell among them, the atmosphere in the room quietly quieted down.
Inside Na Lan Jie's body, Red Flame enveloped the black bones.
Although the two appear to be pressed tightly together, a closer look reveals that there is an extremely fine gap between them.
This is because the temperature of the Heavenly Flames is simply too terrifying. If it were to come into direct contact with Na Lan Jie's bones, even if the opponent was a Dou Wang, he would definitely be seriously injured or even die instantly!
The intense heat seeped from the flames, slowly scorching the blackened bones.
As the Red Flame continued to scorch, wisps of black mist quietly emanated from the bones.
Then, before it could escape, it was swiftly pounced upon and enveloped by a cluster of red flames.
Using that terrifyingly high temperature, the Brand Poison, which even Dou Huang Expert had to treat with utmost seriousness, was gradually baked into nothingness.
As time quietly passed, the section of black bone that was enveloped by Xiao Ming's Red Flame was gradually returning to its normal color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Outside, Na Lan Jie was drenched in sweat, his aged face twitching, and the sound of him gasping for breath escaped from between his teeth.
"Master Xiao... Master Xiao... is it done yet?"
His fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms throbbed like small snakes. Na Lan Jie's voice was hoarse and trembling.
Behind him, Xiao Ming's expression was normal, showing no signs of exhaustion, but looking at Na Lan Jie's trembling, emaciated body, he still said softly:
"Since you can no longer continue, let's stop the detoxification process here for now. The Brand Poison cannot be completely removed in one go. You will need to come to me for the next few days until it is completely removed."
"Can that Brand Poison really be completely expelled?" Upon hearing this, Na Lan Jie couldn't help but ask with delight.
After these two years, no one understands the difficulty of the Brand Poison better than him. Although Pill King Gu He proposed a method of treatment with Heavenly Flames, it was only a concept before. Now that the concept has come true, he is naturally pleasantly surprised.
"Of course, there's no problem," Xiao Ming said with a faint smile.
"Then we'll have to rely on Master Xiao Ming for the next few days!" Na Lan Jie nodded hurriedly, his voice hoarse as he laughed, "Speaking of which, I was already feeling unbearable pain from the Heavenly Flames healing earlier. Master Xiao Ming, to possess Heavenly Flames at such a young age, I truly admire you."
Na Lan Jie spoke with utmost sincerity. He could endure the pain of the Brand Poison for two years, but he couldn't withstand the burning of the Heavenly Flames for long.
Xiao Ming's audacity in devouring the Heavenly Flames and his success astonished him, especially considering Xiao Ming's young age and his ability to precisely control Heavenly Flames within someone else's body. He must have devoured the Heavenly Flames much earlier. How old was Xiao Ming then? Twelve or ten?
Thinking of this, Na Lan Jie couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.
Indeed, the fact that someone can achieve such success at such a young age cannot be explained simply by being exceptionally talented.
