After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiao Yan got straight to the point.
He had come this time to remove the last of Nalan Jie's poison and, incidentally, obtain the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva to awaken Yao Lao.
The final detoxification went far more smoothly than Xiao Yan had expected. Of course, he knew it was because his soul power had surged during the competition earlier that day. After enduring that trial, his control over the Green Lotus Core Flame had undoubtedly become much more effortless.
Wiping a bead of cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Xiao Yan removed his fingers from Nalan Jie's back. Seeing how much rosier the latter's complexion had become, he nodded slightly and smiled. "Congratulations, Old Master Nalan. That brand poison has completely left your body."
Previously, Xiao Yan would have felt somewhat bitter, since the poison in the other man's body had been transferred into his own.
But now, Uchiha Madara had already helped him remove all the poison from his body. This last trace was nothing to worry about.
"Phew!" Nalan Jie let out a long breath of foul air. There were no longer any of those black particles within it. It seemed that, just as Xiao Yan had said, the brand poison had truly been completely eliminated.
"Great kindness needs no words of thanks. I know that young friend Rock Owl came for the 'Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva,' but my life cannot be measured against a mere herb. I, Nalan Jie, promise you that if the opportunity arises in the future, I will repay this favor!" Nalan Jie slowly rose to his feet and spoke to Xiao Yan in a deep voice. From his expression, he was clearly utterly sincere.
Xiao Yan merely smiled without commenting.
Clap! Clap!
