Jiang Donghua walked leisurely on the wide street of Tianyan City.

This city is more prosperous than Tianshang City where he stayed before. It is an important transportation hub and trade center in the Northern Region of the Central Continent.

He had just come out of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, the largest chamber of commerce in the city. The harvest from this trip was quite good. He exchanged a few unused Sixth-grade Pill for a batch of rare Auxiliary Medicine and a rare Ethereal Crystal, which can be used to strengthen Power of Space.

Just as he was thinking about whether to leave directly or find another teahouse to inquire about Void Flower, the sound of discussion from a nearby teahouse caught his attention.

"Did you hear about it? That genius Xie Family, Xie Ying, was hit by Mysterious Poison when he came back from outside a while ago. He was lying on the bed unconscious!"

"Tsk tsk, Xie Ying? Is that the boy who broke through Dou Emperor before he was twenty-five years old? Xie Family is the hope for the future! How could this happen?"

"Who knows! Mr. Xie Family was so anxious that he invited five famous Sixth-grade Alchemy Masters from several surrounding cities, but all of them were helpless! They couldn't even find out the source of the poisoning!"

"So evil? Wouldn't it be hopeless?"

"Well, it looks like, unless we can ask Seventh-grade Alchemy Grandmaster to take action, there may be a glimmer of hope."

"But what kind of person is a seventh-grade grandmaster? Although Xie Family is considered a tyrant in this Tianyan City, if you want to invite such a being, you may lose your fortune and you may not be able to do so! This time Xie Family is really in trouble!"

"Xie Ying, poisoned?"

Jiang Donghua paused in his steps and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This name brought back a distant memory for him.

Above Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy Strong Ranking, there is indeed a guy named Xie Ying.

In my impression, that person Gold Attribute Battle Qi has unparalleled skills, is fierce and domineering, and can be regarded as the number one person in the Inner Academy.

However, back then in the Inner Academy arena, this guy faced me and was blasted away by a Heavenly Gang Overlord Fist, and he was defeated cleanly.

"Could it be the same person?"

Jiang Donghua felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Central Plains is so big that there are many people with the same name, but if they have the same name and the same surname and they are all good at Gold Attribute Battle Qi, the possibility increases a bit.

Although they were opponents back then, it was still a memorable encounter. More importantly, as an alchemist now, he was also quite interested in the so-called Mysterious Poison.

"Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go take a look."

He made up his mind.

If he is really an old friend, there is no harm in helping him; if not, it is also a kind of experience to see Mysterious Poison who is helpless even with five Sixth-grade Alchemists.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the teahouse, came to the table where the people were discussing, and asked in a calm tone.

"Brothers, you are polite. I just heard you talking about the Xie Family Xie Ying being poisoned, and I am very curious. I wonder where this Xie Family mansion is in the city?"

Those few people saw Jiang Donghua's extraordinary bearing. Although they could not sense the specific cultivation level, they did not dare to neglect him.

One of them hurriedly raised his hands.

"Is this friend a foreigner? Xie Family is one of the three major families of our Tianyan City. The mansion is in the east of the city, and the largest house is there. But now Xie Family is in troubled times, I'm afraid..."

"Thanks for letting me know."

Jiang Donghua smiled slightly, interrupted his reminder, and casually took out a small Jade Bottle from Storage Ring and placed it on the table.

"It's just a small thing, I'd like to invite you all to some tea."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for a few people to react.

Those people picked up Jade Bottle in confusion, pulled out the plug and took a look, and suddenly took a breath of cold air!

Inside are three round Third-grade Pill!

For them Da Dou Shi, this is simply a huge feat!

"Who is this person?!"

Several people looked at each other in shock.

Jiang Donghua followed the instructions and walked slowly towards the Xie Family's mansion in the east of the city.

Tianyan City East, the red lacquer door is closed tightly, and the stone lion in front of the door seems to have lost its former majesty, exuding a depressing atmosphere. Even the guard guarding the door has a solemn face, with fatigue and anxiety in his eyes.

Jiang Donghua Wearing a green shirt, he walked calmly to the door of the house.

"Comers, please stop! Xie Residence I haven't seen any visitors recently, please forgive me."

A guard captain stepped forward, his voice hoarse but with unquestionable majesty, and his eyes warily looked at the extraordinary stranger in front of him.

Jiang Donghua stopped, looked calm, and said calmly.

"I am an old friend of Xie Ying. I heard that he was ill, so I came here to visit. Please let me know."

"Old friend?"

The guard captain frowned and looked at Jiang Donghua carefully again.

The other person looked too young, but those deep eyes made him feel an inexplicable pressure.

He didn't dare to neglect, especially when it came to the Xie Family's most sensitive person at the moment.

"What do you call your Excellency? I can report it to the head of the family."

"The surname is Jiang." Jiang Donghua said it concisely and to the point.

The guard captain hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked quickly into the mansion to pass the news.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, whose face was somewhat similar to Xie Ying, but with a heavy look of worry between his brows, walked out quickly, accompanied by Third Elder.

This person is the current head of the Xie Family family, the father of Xie Ying, Xie Zhen, a strong Eight-star Dou Huang man.

Xie Zhen glanced at Jiang Donghua with sharp eyes, feeling the opponent's aura that was as unpredictable as an abyss, he felt awe-inspiring in his heart and cupped his fists.

"This Mr. Jiang is the father of Xie Zhen, Xie Ying. I wonder if the young master is an old friend of Ying'er? Quanzi is in a special situation now, I'm afraid..."

"Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy Strong Ranking."

Jiang Donghua spit out a few words.

Xie Zhen was shocked all over, and his eyes sparkled!

Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy!

That is the place where his son practiced Buddhism, and it is also an experience that Xie Ying is proud of!

Being able to name this place greatly increases the credibility of the other party's identity.

"It turns out we are old friends from Ying'er Academy! Come in quickly!"

Xie Zhen's attitude immediately became enthusiastic and urgent, leaning forward to greet him.

"Mr. Jiang, to tell you the truth, Ying'er~ ugh!"

Jiang Donghua nodded slightly and followed Xie Zhen and Third Elder through the many courtyards and arrived at a private courtyard that was extremely heavily guarded.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal smell and an indescribable coldness.

Entering the bedroom, the room was dimly lit, and several old men with white hair and beards were gathered around the bed, arguing in low voices, all of them frowning and sighing.

They are all alchemists hired by the Xie Family with a lot of money, and their grades are between the fifth and sixth grades.

There was a person lying on the bed.

His complexion was not pale, but glowed with a strange greenish-gold color, as if it had patina.

His lips were purple, his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and his whole body exuded a faint, cold, deathly aura.

When Jiang Donghua's eyes fell on the face that was somewhat disfigured by the pain, but the familiar sharpness between the brows still remained, he was already certain in his heart.

Sure enough it was him!

Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy Xie Ying, who trained Gold Attribute Battle Qi to be domineering and fierce, and had a fierce battle with him in the ring!

At this moment, this genius who was so high-spirited back then was in such a miserable situation.

"Master, it's not that I don't do my best, this poison is really weird! The poison not only corrodes the meridians, but also resembles gangrene attached to the bones, entangling Dou Qi, and even faintly targeting the soul! I have been practicing medicine for a hundred years, and I have never seen anything so vicious!"

One Sixth-grade Alchemist shook his head and sighed.

Another Fifth-grade Alchemist interface.

"Yes, we have tried all our methods, but we can only barely breathe a sigh of relief to Nephew Xie. It will be impossible to drive away the poison! Unless a seventh-grade master takes action!"

At this time, they noticed Jiang Donghua brought by Xie Zhen. Seeing that he was so young, they all showed doubts and disapproval.

One of them, Fifth-grade Alchemist, who had a slightly irritable temper, said.

"Xie Family Master, if you bring a bunch of people in here at this time, I'm afraid it won't help your condition!"

Jiang Donghua seemed not to hear these comments and walked straight to the bed.

Xie Zhen quickly signaled to several alchemists to be calm.
