Three Mysterious Flame Change? Nalan Yanran

"Alright, here you go."

Seeing Qin Yu's decisiveness, the shopkeeper didn't hesitate either, handing him the pendant along with the Black Jade Slip.

"You... came here for this?"

As soon as they stepped out of the jewelry store, Xiao Yi Xian came over and curiously examined the jade piece in Qin Yu's hand.

She looked at it over and over for a long time, but Xiao Yi Xian still couldn't figure it out.

Is there anything special about this thing?

"Um..."

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then said something that made Xiao Yi Xian stumble and almost fall flat on her face:

"I can't tell either, but my intuition tells me that this thing is definitely more than just a single jade piece."

Qin Yu couldn't know exactly what was hidden inside this jade piece, but his intuition from his Innate Treasure-Seeking Body told him that this was it.

Perhaps some special method is needed to lift the lockdown?

"Well, you're being a bit too reliant on your intuition."

For a moment Xiao Yi Xian was at a loss for how to react. It was only because it was Qin Yu who did this; if it had been anyone else, she would most likely have thought that the other party was a bit suspicious.

After observing for a long time, Qin Yu sighed and put the jade piece back into his Storage Ring.

"This thing might need to be burned."

"Burn it with fire?"

Qin Yu nodded. He had just tried to use his soul perception to explore the contents of the jade piece, but he was blocked by a barrier.

Then, the idea of burning it suddenly popped into my head.

Perhaps... this is also an effect of the Innate Treasure-Seeking Body?

"You're earth, I'm poison, where are we going to find fire?"

"There's no rush, just keep going with me."

If it really does require firing with flames, then Qin Yu does have something in his memory that matches the description perfectly.

Xiao Yan obtained the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Flame Change in the Imperial Capital.

This item was originally something Xiao Yan found at a stall in the Imperial Capital just before the Three-Year Agreement was about to be fulfilled.

It seems that because it's still early, the jade piece hasn't yet passed into other people's hands.

However, whether it is the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Flame Change still needs to be verified.

If it truly is the Three Mysterious Flame Change, then I have unintentionally intercepted one of Xiao Yan's early-stage trump cards.

The two continued to their next destination, a large herbal medicine shop.

The shop is filled with the aroma of herbs, and various medicinal materials are neatly arranged in mahogany medicine cabinets. Several young shop assistants are organizing accounts behind the counter.

Qin Yu's gaze swept across the medicine cabinet, finally settling on a medicinal herb displayed separately.

It was a purplish-black vine-like medicinal herb, with a stem about the thickness of a thumb, coiled into a ring.

"May I take a look at this Purple Thorn Vine vine?"

The shop assistant responded and deftly took the medicinal herbs and handed them to Qin Yu.

"Hmm... as expected."

After observing the roots of the Purple Thorn Vine for a while, Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked the shop assistant to pack it up for him.

"Is this something special?"

Xiao Yi Xian whispered a question in Qin Yu's ear.

"It's good stuff, you'll see when we get back."

At the base of this Purple Thorn Vine, there are several black lines hidden in the texture of the rootstock, which are not visible to the naked eye.

After Qin Yu's wood energy and soul power merged, his soul perception became much stronger, which is why he was able to see it.

This is not an ordinary Purple Thorn Vine, but Purple Thorn Vine Purple Thorn Ghost Vine variety, an extremely rare poison.

Moreover, although the poison of this Purple Thorn Ghost Vine is troublesome, it pales in comparison to the Woeful Poison Body, making it perfect for Xiao Yi Xian to use.

Qin Yu paid the money and was about to leave after taking the medicine package when a slightly urgent voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

A young man dressed in a gray robe strode over, followed by two men who appeared to be his attendants.

"My friend, would you sell me this Purple Thorn Vine vine? The price is negotiable."

The young man wore a badge of One-Grade Alchemist on his chest, and his tone was fairly polite.

"Sorry, not for sale."

The young man in the gray robe frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by Qin Yu's straightforward refusal, and then added:

"My friend, my name is Liu Yi, a member of the Alchemist Association. This Purple Thorn Vine is indeed useful to me, and I can offer more money."

"I am indeed useful."

After saying this, Qin Yu walked out of the shop.

Liu Yi's face finally darkened, his gaze quickly sweeping over Qin Yu, and his tone changed accordingly:

"Friend, I advise you to reconsider. This Purple Thorn Vine vine is one of the medicinal herbs that my cousin Liu Ling specifically requested. I'm just a messenger."

"If you don't sell now, the price will be much higher when my cousin comes to inquire in person."

As soon as these words were spoken, several customers who were selecting medicinal herbs nearby turned their heads and began to whisper among themselves.

Liu Ling, a disciple who recently became a disciple of Pill King Gu He, is indeed quite famous in the Imperial Capital.

Given Pill King Gu He's status in the Jia Ma Empire, even the Imperial Family wouldn't dare to offend him easily.

His disciple's clansmen...

Being a little arrogant is understandable.

Qin Yu stopped and turned to glance at him.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yi's lips curled slightly. Sure enough, once Gu He's name was mentioned, even the toughest bone would soften.

"I said, I'm not selling."

Upon hearing these words, Liu Yi immediately felt he had been tricked and pressed forward.

"Don't be ungrateful! In this Imperial Capital, no one dares to disrespect my cousin Liu Ling..."

The next second, Liu Yi was instantly pinned to the spot by Qin Yu's Da Dou Shi- level Dou Qi, unable to move.

Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward, and her Battle Master- level strength instantly intimidated the two guards who wanted to come up.

Goodness, a Da Dou Shi and a Battle Master, this combination doesn't seem like good people.

"Who says that no one in this Imperial Capital dares to disrespect Liu Ling?"

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from outside the pharmacy.

Qin Yu withdrew his Dou Qi pressure, and Liu Yi hurriedly took half a step back. The arrogance on his face vanished instantly, and he bowed his head towards the door, saying:

"Miss Nalan."

Qin Yu turned his head and looked towards the doorway, where a girl dressed in a moon-white outfit was standing on the threshold.

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features, a slender figure, and an air of aloofness and pride between her brows.

The lights in the shop seemed to focus on her, and Xiao Yi Xian's gaze lingered on her for a moment before looking away.

The young woman stepped into the pharmacy, nodded slightly to Qin Yu as a greeting, and then turned her gaze to Liu Yi:

"Liu Ling is Liu Ling, and you are you. You coward, trying to intimidate my Nalan Family's territory, are you?"

Nalan Yanran's words were merciless. Liu Yi's face turned pale and then red. His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't even muster the courage to defend himself.

Liu Yi only had the opportunity to borrow the name of the Pill King through his cousin Liu Ling.

But Nalan Yanran a direct disciple of Yun Misty Cloud Sect Master of the Yun Yun, and has the ability to directly contact the Pill King Gu He himself!

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Qin Yu, and left the pharmacy with his two attendants.

"Miss Nalan."
