Detoxifying Poison with Poison Flame
Upon learning that Xiao Yan was actually Alchemist, the old man's expression changed drastically. He quickly shouted at the guards behind him, clearing a path for Xiao Yan and his group.
Amidst the somewhat astonished gazes of the crowd, he was respectfully ushered inside by the old butler.
As soon as he entered the gate, a pretty maid came over from the side, bowed to Teng Shan, and then took the place of the old steward and walked in front.
Xiao Yan followed the maid at a leisurely pace. He had already given some thought to the Luo Poison that had afflicted Nalan Jie.
If the Green Lotus Core Flame or Bone Spirit Cold Flame are used to expel the poison, only Nalan Jie's physical tolerance needs to be considered. Otherwise, although the poison can be completely eliminated, Nalan Jie will eventually become a dead man.
However, with the Netherworld Poison Flame, a Heavenly Flames containing poisonous properties, it is possible to directly absorb and refine Nalan Jie's Luo Poison, saving a lot of time.
As Xiao Yan walked to the end of the path paved with blue pebbles, a luxurious hall came into view.
Through the half-open door, one could vaguely see that there seemed to be quite a few people standing inside.
As Xiao Yan and his group entered the hall, some low whispers could be heard. They gently pushed open the door, and the whispers in the hall stopped abruptly.
Then, all eyes turned to the gate. When everyone's gaze fell on the rather familiar Mitel Clan Teng Shan, they were all taken aback, and then a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Clearly, they were all somewhat puzzled as to why Mitel Clan Teng Shan had come to the Nalan Family at this time.
However, upon seeing the old man and the young man beside Teng Shan, along with more than ten middle-aged and elderly Alchemist in robes of the same color and wearing Third-Rank Alchemist badges, he immediately realized something.
At the head of the hall sat a middle-aged man with an imposing presence. His piercing eyes exuded an air of authority, and he was none other than Nalan Su, the head of the Nalan Family.
Upon seeing Teng Shan arrive with his men, Nalan Su dared not be negligent and immediately stood up.
Beside Nalan Su, a woman in a moon-colored robe followed closely behind; she was none other than Nalan Yanran, who was engaged to Xiao Yan.
Nalan Yanran has a cold and aloof appearance, and her beautiful and charming face is in no way inferior to Xiao Yi Xian and others. Her well-tailored moon-white dress accentuates her curvaceous figure, making her no less stunning than Ya Fei in terms of physique.
A pale silver sash cinched her slender waist, perfectly showcasing its delicate shape.
A pair of green jade pendants hung from her delicate earlobes. As the pendants swayed, their soft tinkling sounds were like a beautiful melody played by a mountain spring and the rocks.
Her long, flowing black hair was casually tied back with a strand of blue silk, finally cascading down to her delicate hips; every gesture she made exuded a captivating, mature allure.
The maid briefly reported the details to Nalan Su, who nodded in understanding and laughed loudly, "Elder Tengshan's assistance to the Nalan family at this critical moment is deeply appreciated. Please have a seat."
In an instant, many eyes fell on Xiao Yan, and the middle-aged and elderly Alchemist couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Since this person was recommended by the Mitel Clan, he must possess extraordinary abilities.
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but take a closer look at Xiao Yan. Even Elder Pill King Gu He of the Misty Cloud Sect, was helpless. She wondered what abilities this young man possessed that allowed the Mittel Family to recommend him.
However, although Nalan Yanran was curious, her thoughts were completely different from those of the Alchemist around her. If they could cure her grandfather, that would naturally be a good thing.
Sitting back down, Nalan Su waved his hand and pointed to a pair of side doors. "Without further ado, if you can cure the old man, the reward will definitely not disappoint you! The old man is inside; please give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Alchemist in the hall exchanged glances. After a moment, an elderly man with gray hair stood up with a smile and went into the side room first. However, a dozen minutes later, he came out shaking his head, sat back down in his chair, and said to Nalan Su with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, Clan Chief Nalan, that Luo Poison is really too stubborn. None of the dozen or so Poison Pill I concocted have any effect."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran both sighed in disappointment, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads with wry smiles.
Seeing that Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran didn't recognize Xiao Yan at all, Hai Bodong couldn't help but smile slightly.
The two families hadn't been in contact for over a decade or two, so Xiao Yan wasn't surprised at all. Watching the Alchemist who had failed one after another emerge from the side door, he calmly said, "I'll give it a try."
Nalan Yanran bowed slightly to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan led him towards the side room.
Watching Xiao Yan head towards the side room, Nalan Su smiled and said something to the dozen or so Third-Rank Alchemist in the hall, then waved for the steward to attend to him, and then he and Nalan Yanran hurriedly followed.
Nalan Su was also somewhat curious about the Alchemist recommended by the Mittel Family.
As Xiao Yan slowly approached the side room, a soft, dim light shone out. He gently pushed open the door. The room was quite spacious, with a large bed in the center. An old man with a withered face lay on the bed, and several maids were busy around it. Hearing the door open, they turned their gazes over and then carefully tended to the old man who had fallen into a coma.
As Xiao Yan slowly approached the large bed, he scanned the surface and noticed that the old man's face was tinged with a dark gray, and his peaceful, sleeping face already carried a hint of death.
Xiao Yan waved to Nalan Yanran, who was leaning closer, signaling her to step back. He then flicked his finger and shot a ball of eerie green light towards Nalan Jie, who was lying weakly on the bed. The light instantly entered Nalan Jie's body.
Nalan Yanran's bright eyes were fixed on the elegant and indifferent young man beside her. This person was indeed extraordinary, as if he had been prepared all along.
Just then, Xiao Yan's deep eyes flashed with green light, and he immediately saw clearly the extent of the poison in Nalan Jie's body.
As he had anticipated, Nalan Jie was now severely poisoned, his body riddled with the venom.
With a thought, Xiao Yan began to control the Netherworld Poison Flame to slowly circulate within Nalan Jie's body.
Wherever the Netherworld Poison Flame passed, all the toxins in Nalan Jie's meridians and bones were absorbed into the flames, as if peeling silk from a cocoon.
The deadly poison that had accumulated in his body for many years was extracted. Nalan Jie, who had been lying on the bed like a rotten log, suddenly trembled violently as if struck by lightning, and finally let out a chilling scream.
Nalan Su was startled and took a step forward, only to be astonished to find that the gray-black color on Nalan Jie's body was rapidly fading away.
