Strange Flame? Yan Li's Wild Ecstasy!

The alchemists standing nearby were all stunned. This highly toxic poison, which had left them helpless, had been so easily neutralized?

Jia He then used the same method to purge the remaining people of the poison in their bodies.

Seeing that Jia He had saved them, they all knelt before him. "Thank you, sir, for saving our lives!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Jia He sent out a gentle force that lifted them to their feet. "It was nothing. After the poison has been removed, you still need to rest and recuperate properly!"

"Since you're awake now, I'd like to ask you a few things," Jia He said as he looked at them.

"Please ask, sir!" they replied solemnly.

Jia He asked, "That night, did you see anything? Or perhaps sense anything unusual?"

One middle-aged man said, "Something was indeed wrong that night. I had just come out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and had suffered some injuries, so I planned to cultivate and recover!"

"But in the middle of the night, I suddenly caught a faint foul stench. I wanted to go outside and take a look, but the moment I opened the door, everything spun around me. Before losing consciousness, I saw a huge centipede appear above the city!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw a flying centipede too. It was several zhang long and had six pairs of wings behind it!" another person said with a nod.

Jia He pondered, "Another six-winged centipede. It seems the person who poisoned you raised a venomous beast!"

"All right, go back and rest early," Jia He said with a nod.

Only after repeatedly thanking Jia He did they support one another and leave the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall!

Jia He looked at Mitchell and said, "Prepare some Poison-Avoiding Pills and Antidote Pills for backup. We must avoid being caught off guard by someone's dirty tricks!"

Mitchell nodded. "All right. I'll have them start refining them immediately!"

Very soon, more than thirty alchemists began refining pills in the courtyard of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, and a faint medicinal fragrance drifted outward.

In a corner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, a middle-aged man stood there, a trace of struggle flashing through his eyes. In the end, as if making up his mind, he turned and left!

Magical Beast Mountain Range, inside a cave.

The dark cave was filled with a foul stench, with a faint glimmer of light visible within.

Deep inside, two figures sat cross-legged beside a bonfire: an old man and a middle-aged man!

The old man wore a pale green robe. The firelight illuminated his aged face, upon which a pitch-black centipede was painted. It looked almost alive, giving off an eerie and sinister feeling!

The middle-aged man had a cold expression and wore black robes. His eyes were like those of a venomous snake as he looked at the old man. "Elder Wu, after Green City was massacred, the Jia Ma Empire will definitely become alert. Why don't we change locations?"

"Change locations? Why should we change locations? I want the Jia Ma Empire to be vigilant. I want them to send stronger people so I can test the poison of my Six-Winged Sky Centipede. Yan Li, if you're afraid, you can leave right now!" the old man snorted coldly.

This middle-aged man was Yan Li, the vice president of the Alchemist Association of the Cloudrise Empire.

The poison cultivation art he practiced had reached a bottleneck, so he had come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find venomous beasts to devour, while also searching for medicinal herbs!

As for the old man called Elder Wu, he was Wu Ya, the master of Centipede Heaven Manor in the Cloudrise Empire!

This man was ruthless and powerful, skilled in refining deadly poisons. This time, because the magical beast he raised, the Six-Winged Sky Centipede, had broken through its limits and become even more venomous, he wanted to test its poison on people. In the end, he chose to come to the Jia Ma Empire!

Yan Li had originally valued Wu Ya's formidable strength and thought that following him would provide some protection. Who would have thought that this old fellow would directly massacre an entire city!

If the Jia Ma Empire's strongest experts were truly drawn here, Wu Ya might be able to escape, but Yan Li might not be so fortunate!

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the cave.

Yan Li immediately became vigilant. Rising to his feet, he headed outside just as a middle-aged man in brocade robes hurried into the cave.

"Stop!" A cold voice echoed through the cave.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped and looked toward the depths of the cave. His voice trembled as he said, "M-my lord, it's me!"

Yan Li emerged from the darkness and looked at the middle-aged man. "Why have you come here at this time?"

If the Little Fairy Doctor had been here, she would definitely have recognized this middle-aged man as Mr. Yao, the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall!

Mr. Yao looked at Yan Li and said anxiously, "The empire's Alchemist Association has sent quite a few alchemists this time. They are all currently at the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall!"

Yan Li's eyes immediately lit up. Looking at him, he asked, "What ranks are they roughly?"

Mr. Yao said, "Most of them are second- or third-tier, but the three leading them should be fourth-tier!"

Yan Li burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Good! Fourth-tier alchemists must be elders of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association. If they all die here, it will definitely be a tremendous blow to the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association!"

"All right, I understand," Yan Li said, looking at Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao's expression was somewhat hesitant. Yan Li frowned at him. "If you have something to say, say it directly. Stop stammering!"

After hesitating for a while, Mr. Yao said, "The poison you used in Green City... several people were saved!"

Yan Li immediately frowned, while an aged voice rang out once more from within the cave. "Impossible!"

Then Mr. Yao felt a gust of wind sweep past him. Wu Ya instantly appeared before him. That terrifying face turned Mr. Yao pale, and his body trembled like a sieve!

"What did you just say?" Wu Ya's sinister eyes stared at Mr. Yao.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Mr. Yao slowly said, "A young man came to Green Mountain Town. Using flames, he forced all the deadly poison out of those people's bodies!"

Wu Ya's face immediately darkened, but Yan Li was overjoyed. "Flames? Actual flames?"

Mr. Yao nodded repeatedly. "I'm certain. It was flames. I was standing outside the door at the time."

Wu Ya said darkly, "What kind of flame can force out even my deadly poison?"

Yan Li rejoiced inwardly. "A Strange Flame! It must be a Strange Flame! Only a Strange Flame can have such miraculous effects. It is the nemesis of all poisons in the world!"

"That is something all alchemists dream of obtaining. If I can acquire a Strange Flame, I might become a fifth-tier, or even sixth-tier, alchemist!" Yan Li said excitedly.

Wu Ya cultivated poison Dou Qi and had always kept his distance from such flames. Naturally, he had no interest in them!

"Since it is a Strange Flame, I'll use these alchemists to test my poison, while you seize the Strange Flame from the side. What do you think?" Wu Ya asked Yan Li.

Yan Li agreed to Wu Ya's proposal almost without hesitation!
