"A minor poison, that's all." Nalan Jie was, after all, the empire's Great General. The Nalan Family and the Mu Family, another of the three great families, both held military power and rose to prominence through warfare.
In Xiao Yan's memory, Nalan Jie was a burly, strong man with a resonant voice. He was a completely different person from the old man lying on the bed, nearing his end.
"Alas, yes, Branding Poison is something that even a Dou Huang expert wouldn't dare to trifle with easily. For the old master to have endured for so many years is already the limit." Nalan Su, who had followed closely behind, sighed and shook his head. The Nalan Family had searched the entire Gama Empire in recent years but had not found any miraculous pills to dispel the Branding Poison.
Nalan Su then carefully asked, "Nephew, do you see any hope for treatment?"
"Bring a basin of clean water. I need to take a bit of Old Master Nalan's poisoned blood to examine it," Xiao Yan said with a frown.
Nalan Su asked, "Grandmaster Gu He once said that using a Strange Flame to enter the body and burn away the Branding Poison would detoxify it."
Xiao Yan revealed a meaningful smile and said faintly, "Branding Poison is indeed afraid of Strange Flames. In theory, using a Strange Flame to enter the body to expel and burn the Branding Poison can indeed work. However, Gu He doesn't have a Strange Flame. He's only heard of Strange Flames in ancient books. How could he know the true terror of a Strange Flame?"
"If I directly use a Strange Flame to enter the body, what if something goes wrong..."
Nalan Su was immediately stunned. Xiao Yan's expression and tone showed that he didn't take Gu He seriously at all! He didn't even believe what Gu He said!
"If Old Master Nalan were strong and healthy, directly using a Strange Flame to detoxify him would indeed be possible. But the old master's current physical condition is so poor that the high temperature of the Strange Flame might burn the old master to death first."
!!!!!!!!!!
When Xiao Yan removed the seals for Hai Bo Dong and Yun Yun, both of them were healthy, with abundant Dou Qi and blood energy. Moreover, both of them were Dou Huangs.
But Nalan Jie only had a breath left. If the Void Swallowing Flame entered his body, he might not be able to withstand the high temperature of the Strange Flame and die before the poison was completely expelled.
Soon, Xiao Yan completed the poison examination. During his days living with Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan's understanding of poison had also improved greatly.
Seeing the Black Flame rapidly devour the Branding Poison completely, he murmured, "Hmm, this Branding Poison isn't very troublesome."
!!!!!! Branding Poison isn't troublesome??!! Xiao Yan scooped a small cup of Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his Storage Ring and said, "Let's wake up the old master first. Drinking this Ice Spirit Cold Spring can provide some protection."
"Ice Spirit Cold Spring?! I've heard that this stuff is extremely difficult to obtain, worth more than its weight in gold." Nalan Su looked at the jade cup with white vapor rising from it. It was actually Ice Spirit Cold Spring! "It's not too difficult to obtain, just depends on luck."
Nalan Jie slowly opened his eyes, vaguely seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, and said with difficulty, "You are... Xiao Yan?"
"Long time no see, Old Master. I'm here to help you remove the Branding Poison. Drink this Ice Spirit Cold Spring in a moment, and I'll use a Strange Flame to enter your body and completely eradicate the Branding Poison." Xiao Yan knew that Nalan Jie couldn't delay, so he didn't waste any words and handed the jade cup to Nalan Jie.
Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Yan vaguely, but didn't immediately drink the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Instead, he sighed and said, "Yanran has committed such a rebellious act, yet you still help me detoxify without holding it against her. I'm truly ashamed to face Brother Xiao Lin. It's all my fault for not teaching her well."
Xiao Yan patted Nalan Jie's shoulder and comforted him, "Old Master, don't worry too much. When I came to Gama Holy City, my father had already told me that he didn't take the matter too seriously. Moreover, Yanran has received her due punishment."
Nalan Jie sighed upon hearing this and nodded slightly before drinking the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in one gulp. Instantly, a surge of icy power burst forth, freezing the clothes on his body stiff.
"Uncle Nalan, please step back a bit. The high temperature of the Strange Flame might ignite the surroundings later. Please be careful." Xiao Yan stood beside the bed, speaking earnestly.
Nalan Su's expression was tense as he asked, "Nephew Xiao Yan, what's the success rate this time?"
With a confident smile, Xiao Yan placed his palm on Nalan Jie's back and said proudly, "I don't know about others, but when I take action, I naturally have a 100% success rate."
With a *boom*, a burst of energy shattered the clothes on Nalan Jie's body into powder, revealing a withered body like a skeleton.
Xiao Yan instantly activated the Burning Art, and the Void Swallowing Flame was transported from his meridians to the palm of his hand. Xiao Yan's incomparably powerful Soul led the Black Flame into Nalan Jie's body.
With a thud, Nalan Jie's body suddenly trembled. His originally emaciated body swelled up as if it had been inflated, doubling in size! His entire body turned red, like a cooked shrimp.
"Ah!!!" Nalan Jie gritted his teeth. Even with his battle-hardened willpower, he couldn't help but cry out.
"Old Master, clench your teeth and relax your Dou Qi. Don't use Dou Qi to resist the Strange Flame." Xiao Yan's expression darkened, and his powerful Soul was able to stop the Dou Qi that had automatically activated in Nalan Jie's body.
Slowly, Nalan Jie relaxed his Dou Qi and returned it to his Qi Cyclone.
Branding Poison was different from Hai Bo Dong's seal. Sealing techniques only seal the nodes of the meridians, sealing the circulation of Dou Qi. But Branding Poison goes everywhere, whether it's the meridians, internal organs, flesh, bones, or even the skin.
Therefore, to completely remove it, the Void Swallowing Flame had to go through the entire body without leaving any dead spots, devouring all the Branding Poison.
The terrifying high temperature of the Void Swallowing Flame caused a burning sensation to appear on Nalan Jie's face. His withered hands were also clenched tightly, with veins bulging on his arms.
Hoo hoo! Suddenly, the entire bed began to burn, showing how high the temperature of Nalan Jie's body was, enough to ignite the bedding.
"This is a Strange Flame! What a terrifying temperature!" Nalan Su, who was only a Dou Ling, was shocked by the high temperature.
The terror of the Strange Flame, coupled with Xiao Yan's own talent and ability, filled Nalan Su with admiration.
Although Nalan Su was an eight-star Dou Ling, close to nine stars, and could easily defeat Mo Cheng, Nalan Su believed that he might not be able to defeat Xiao Yan, who possessed a Strange Flame.
"Alas, Yanran is probably going to humiliate herself again." Nalan Su naturally knew about his daughter's agreement with Xiao Yan for a battle three years later, but now it seemed that if Nalan Yanran didn't have any strong trump cards, she would probably still have to kneel.
After about twenty minutes, Xiao Yan finally retracted all the Black Flame.
Nalan Jie's body was like a deflated ball, his pores rapidly releasing air and returning to their original state, as he panted heavily.
"You can only drink water after your body temperature returns to normal. I will refine a Spirit Pill to replenish water and restore your strength later. You can resume normal activities and diet the day after tomorrow. If there are no signs of the Branding Poison appearing after a week, then it has been completely removed," Xiao Yan said as he stood up, quickly instructing the Old Butler.
Nalan Su looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment as he spoke eloquently, and asked in amazement, "It's... it's cleared?"
Not to mention Nalan Su, even Nalan Jie was shocked. He clenched his fist, and the power of a Dou Wang returned! His body felt lighter than ever before! It was as if even his old hidden injuries had been swallowed up.
"Just a little poison, twenty minutes is considered slow."
