Terrifying Fire Control Ability, Shocking Everyone!

Gu He and Fa Ma's eyes lit up as they stared fixedly ahead. Heavenly Flames were an alchemist's beloved treasure, and Gu He had been searching for clues about them all along.

Heavenly Flames were special flames born between heaven and earth. Cultivators could absorb them for their own use. They possessed immense power and were difficult to tame, while high-grade Heavenly Flames could even possess intelligence.

Alchemists had ranked all Heavenly Flames, with a total of twenty-three listed.

Yet the Heavenly Flame in Xiao Tian's hand was not one from the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Its terrifying aura stunned everyone present.

Xiao Tian said nothing more and walked to Nalan Jie's side under their watchful gazes.

"Master Xiao Tian, should we change locations?"

Nalan Su changed the way he addressed him. The rumors had now disproven themselves—Xiao Tian was very likely a genuine Grade-Six Alchemist.

The ability to control such an overwhelmingly powerful Heavenly Flame was truly admirable.

Of course, when this news first spread, many people had remained skeptical and believed it was false.

But with such strength, he was fully worthy of being called a master.

More than anything, Nalan Su felt that the Nalan Clan owed the Xiao Clan too much.

If Yanran had become engaged to Xiao Tian back then, perhaps none of this would have happened. Fate truly toyed with people.

At the time, they had considered that Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan were close in age, which was why they arranged the engagement.

Nalan Su sighed inwardly. None of that was possible anymore.

What had happened had happened.

"Mm..."

Xiao Tian frowned slightly as a bead of sweat ran down his forehead. He carefully controlled the Samadhi True Fire. If he made even the slightest mistake, Nalan Jie would be burned to ashes on the spot.

Sure enough, actually carrying it out was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Fa Ma stroked his beard and began explaining with the air of an expert. "This is the critical moment. One mistake, and Nalan Jie's life will be lost. However, young friend Xiao Tian's control over flames has already reached an inconceivable level."

"Even I find it difficult to achieve this."

Jia Xingtian, Tengshan, and the others beside him were left dumbfounded. They were utterly shocked, and everyone nearby could hear it.

At that moment, Gu He shook his head and sighed as well. "Such a method of controlling a Heavenly Flame is truly marvelous. I cannot do it either."

Even President Fa Ma and Pill King Gu He admitted themselves inferior. Just what kind of talent did Xiao Tian possess? It was utterly monstrous!

The Samadhi True Fire blazed fiercely in Xiao Tian's palm and, in an instant, invaded every part of Nalan Jie's body. He still needed to control it precisely so as not to damage his meridians.

With such difficulty, it would be hard to find anyone capable of it in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

At that moment, Nalan Jie suddenly opened his eyes. Pain filled his face as all the Luo Poison throughout his body seeped out through his skin, creating a horrifying sight. "Young friend Xiao Tian, thank you for treating me. This old man has no way to repay you."

Xiao Tian slowly said, "The Luo Poison in your meridians has mostly been removed. Next comes the heart meridians. This process will be extremely painful."

Nalan Jie laughed heartily. "Haha, it's fine. This old man took plenty of blades and swords on the battlefield in his younger days. This little pain is nothing."

"After all, nothing is more terrifying than death."

"Come on!"

Xiao Tian nodded and immediately increased his output to full force, sending the Samadhi True Fire into his heart meridians to begin refining the Luo Poison.

Because it had remained in his body for far too long, refining it would also inflict piercing pain upon Nalan Jie himself.

Seeing this, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran were both filled with worry. Hearing Nalan Jie's cries of agony, they could do nothing no matter how concerned they were.

All they could do now was trust Xiao Tian.

Medicine Elder was equally shocked. Why was Xiao Tian outstanding in every regard? At such a young age, he already possessed this level of talent and strength. Medicine Elder truly could not imagine how far he would grow in the future.

Perhaps even the legendary Dou Di was within reach. After all, Xiao Tian was the most talented young man Medicine Elder had ever seen.

His future was boundless!

Soon after, the Luo Poison on Nalan Jie's body began receding at a visible rate. His complexion returned to normal as well, though he was somewhat exhausted now.

Xiao Tian took the opportunity to withdraw the Samadhi True Fire from Nalan Jie's body and absorb it back into himself. Only then did he let out a light breath, adjusted his breathing, opened his eyes, and rose to his feet.

"It's done?" Nalan Su looked stunned.

"Mm." Xiao Tian nodded.

At that moment, Nalan Jie abruptly opened his eyes and felt incomparably refreshed. He could not help but feel emotional and excited. He had suffered under the Luo Poison for so long, yet today, he was finally cured.

Moreover, his scorched meridians not only felt no pain, but instead radiated waves of warmth. They had even gained a slight benefit from it.

Nalan Jie did not dare delay in the slightest. He immediately took out the incomparably precious Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Tian.

After obtaining what he needed, Xiao Tian nodded as well.

"Grandfather, you're really cured?" Nalan Yanran was delighted too. She knew her grandfather had endured the Luo Poison for so long. Speaking of which, she ought to thank Xiao Tian.

With the matter settled, Xiao Tian had just been about to take Xiao Yan to the Misty Cloud Sect to loot its treasures when Fa Ma walked over. At this moment, Fa Ma held Xiao Tian in even greater respect.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength was supreme. As long as one was strong enough, one would receive unimaginable respect.

"Young friend Xiao Tian, would you be interested in joining our Alchemist Association?"

"Of course, if you join, the Alchemist Association will fully support the Xiao Clan and provide all kinds of medicinal pills free of charge."

Jia Xingtian was taken aback. That old man Fa Ma had actually acted faster than he did.

Xiao Tian smiled faintly inwardly. He knew Fa Ma had come to invite him only because Fa Ma recognized his strength.

Of course, if something truly happened, the Alchemist Association would likely only protect itself.

"Thank you for the invitation, President Fa Ma, but I have no interest in joining any faction right now."

"Because I prefer freedom."

As he spoke, the Somersault Cloud descended from the sky. He leaped onto it with Xiao Yan and flew toward the rear mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Fa Ma was rather embarrassed and hurriedly raised a hand. "Young friend Xiao Tian, we can discuss it! We can make you an honorary president!"

However, Xiao Tian had already left by then.

Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, and the others sighed repeatedly.

Jia Xingtian felt even more embarrassed. Xiao Tian really was somewhat arrogant, refusing to give them any face at all. He felt rather displeased.

Yet he did not dare show it and could only sigh.

"Fine, I have matters to attend to, so I'll leave first." Jia Xingtian still maintained the imperial aloofness of a royal, directly forming Dou Qi Transformation Wings and departing.

At that moment, Xiao Tian used his Fiery Eyes, Golden Pupils and discovered the hidden treasure beneath the Misty Cloud Sect's formation!

That old thief Yun Shan had actually left behind so many things. They could count as a small payment for what he owed.

Xiao Tian raised the Golden Cudgel and shattered the defensive formation with a single blow. The Misty Cloud Sect rumbled once more.

"Sure enough, there are quite a few good treasures inside!"
