Having temporarily suppressed the spread of the toxins in Fang Zhicong's body, Xiao Yan should now prepare to formally detoxify Fang Zhicong.

By using Heavenly Flames and some special techniques, some key meridians in Fang Zhicong's body were temporarily suppressed to slow down the spread of the toxin. Although the effect was relatively obvious, the toxin was still spreading even if it was slow. If it could not be completely eliminated, the poison would likely return if even the slightest trace of its effects remained.

The reason Xiao Yan stopped Fang Chi's actions was because he discovered a key characteristic of those toxins.

These toxins seem to have extremely strong adaptability. Not only can they quickly adapt to the host's physical condition and absorb the host's own cultivation, but they are also ruthless towards external forces. Even when Xiao Yan injected his Spiritual Strength into Fang Zhicong's body, those monstrous toxins actually became interested in his Spiritual Strength.

This thing seems to have an extremely obsessive desire to devour all energy, and it is not something that can be produced naturally. This further confirms Xiao Yan's guess that this poison was probably concocted by some vicious person. To be able to concoct a poison of this level, this person is probably not an ordinary expert!

At the very least, the person capable of concocting this poison possesses a level of understanding of poisons that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Afterwards, in order to allow Xiao Yan to focus on removing the poison from Fang Zhicong, Fang Chi specially arranged a separate courtyard for Xiao Yan. Even the people who could enter the house were strictly restricted. Apart from Xiao Yan and Fang Chi himself, Luo Jin and his group were kept outside the door, and even the three elders of the Fang Clan were not allowed to enter the house.

Although the three old men had previously claimed to have stripped Fang Chi of his position as family head, it was all just an act, something they did to impress Xiao Yan. Now that there was no need for it, the three old men naturally became much more respectful to Fang Chi they spoke. However, perhaps because Fang Chi had attacked them before, there was a strange awkwardness in their interactions, whether they were talking or doing things.

As for Luo Jin and the others, although they were worried about leaving Xiao Yan inside alone, they could only stop at the door after Fang Chi insisted. Of course, this was only after Xiao Yan had given his consent; otherwise, they would never have been so easily stopped.

Inside the room, Xiao Yan gave Fang Zhicong another thorough check-up to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Then, he controlled the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames and, just like last time, used it to completely envelop Fang Zhicong's body. The detoxification process officially began.

Although the methods used to remove the poison were almost identical in both instances, the poison Xiao Yan faced this time was far more potent and domineering. As a result, the entire process became much slower. In fact, in order to completely remove the poison from Fang Zhicong's body, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was slightly affected while he was controlling the Heavenly Flames to fight against the poison.

Minor damage wasn't a big deal, but what he didn't know was that whenever his Spiritual Strength suffered even the slightest damage, the toxins would surge up. Even though they were almost entirely blocked by the Heavenly Flames, extremely small amounts, almost undetectable, of toxins would still infiltrate Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength. Enveloped by his Spiritual Strength and the Heavenly Flames, these toxins would safely enter his body...

The entire process of Xiao Yan removing the poison from Fang Zhicong lasted for three whole days.

Three days later, the toxins in Fang Zhicong's body were finally completely eliminated under the intense refining power of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames.

Three days ago, Fang Zhicong's body looked like that of a dying man, but now it has finally returned to normal. Moreover, with the disappearance of the toxins, his obese body has also shrunk considerably, making him look even more handsome. It's just a pity that he is still asleep in bed at this moment.

As for Fang Chi, in order not to disturb Xiao Yan, and also for the sake of his son, he had already left the room a day ago, waiting quietly for good news from Xiao Yan.

After a day of waiting, he personally noticed that the poison in Fang Zhicong's body was decreasing, first in the skin, then in the meridians and bones, and then in the internal organs. Everything proved that Fang Zhicong was about to return to normal. How could he, as a father, not be excited?

But precisely because of this, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong during the entire process, he left the room early.

Today, the poison in Fang Zhicong's body has finally been completely removed. However, along with Fang Zhicong's liberation, trouble has arisen in Xiao Yan's body.

After three days of massive depletion of his internal Origin Qi, Xiao Yan now only had about 20% of his Origin Qi remaining in his Qi vortex. In order to prevent the toxins from making a comeback, Xiao Yan was going all out this time.

Sweat dripped from his forehead like raindrops, his once rosy lips were now deathly pale, his cheeks were tired, and his eyelids were so heavy they seemed about to close.

Three days of refining and detoxifying is not a long time in terms of duration. Although it consumed a lot of Origin Qi, it shouldn't have ended up like this. However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's originally clear mind was actually becoming slightly hazy.

"What... what's going on...?"

Sensing something was wrong, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and immediately focused his mind, intending to mobilize the little remaining Origin Qi in his body.

However, in the next moment, Xiao Yan was shocked to discover that a black toxin the size of a fist had appeared in his Qi vortex, occupying all the important meridians and completely sealing off all the routes that the Origin Qi could be mobilized. Before Xiao Yan could make any other moves, his heavy eyelids slowly drooped, and his body collapsed onto the floor of the room.

Meanwhile, Luo Jin and the others outside the door were still patiently waiting. Luo Jin and Bai Hua would occasionally glance at the cold gazes of the Fang Clan members shooting into the courtyard from outside, but they would just ignore them after a casual glance.

Ever since Xiao Yan demanded that Fang Chi apologize to Xiao Yi Xian, these members of the Fang Clan have been looking at them with eyes that seem like those of enemies. If Fang Chi hadn't given prior orders, these people probably wouldn't have been able to resist barging in.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian stood in front of the door with her brows slightly furrowed. Ever since the day Xiao Yan forbade her to touch Fang Zhicong's wrist, she had had a vague premonition that something bad was going to happen. As time went by, this premonition grew stronger and stronger until this very moment.

"Bang..."

Although the commotion inside the room was not loud, and even Luo Jin and the others couldn't hear it clearly, it still reached the ears of Xiao Yi Xian, who had been staring at the door. Instantly, the expression on her pretty face changed drastically. Without thinking, she lunged forward and pushed the door open. Her beautiful eyes immediately looked into the room, and then she saw Xiao Yan, who was already unconscious on the ground.
