Under Liu Xi's absolute control over his powerful Spiritual Power, the Green Flame refined away the gray-black Scorching Poison entrenched in Nalan Jie's flesh bit by bit, reducing it all to nothing.
Although the flesh corroded by the Scorching Poison remained shriveled, it had at least returned to its normal bright red color.
But having a Heavenly Flame enter one's body was anything but pleasant. One only had to look at Nalan Jie to know that.
Nalan Jie's entire body was twitching, his eyes rolled back, and he kept whimpering around the short stick clenched between his teeth. Cold sweat poured from his body, making him look as though he had just been dragged out of water.
It had been fine at first. The burning of the Heavenly Flame had merely made him howl in pain, but Liu Xi was far too enduring! Spiritual Power flowed endlessly into Nalan Jie's body. As the Scorching Poison was removed, the pain gradually numbed him until he lost consciousness and began babbling nonsense!
Outside, Nalan Su could not help saying to Liu Xi, "Master, perhaps you should rest for a while!"
Liu Xi replied naturally, "No need. I can hold on until all the poison has been removed!"
"Master, what I mean is... could you let my father rest for a while? It seems my father has already passed out..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Patriarch Nalan has merely fainted. He won't die. Let me finish it all in one go!"
"..."
Liu Xi did not stop, and Nalan Su did not dare interrupt recklessly. He could only watch Nalan Jie with worried eyes, hoping the Scorching Poison would be removed smoothly.
About two hours later, the last trace of Scorching Poison within Nalan Jie's body turned into black mist
