Chapter 71: Removing the Brand Poison!

~7 min read 1,214 words

"This—" Looking at the door closed by Nalan Su, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a bit at a loss regarding the Nalan family trio's strange reaction.

"Ahem, alright, this is just some private business of our Nalan family, I've let you see something embarrassing," Nalan Jie coughed twice, pulling Xiao Yan's dazed thoughts back: "Speaking of which, Xiao Yan, do you know what the implication of the Seven-Colored Illusionary Spirit Saliva is?"

"Implication?" Xiao Yan was a bit strange; could this world actually have things like the language of flowers?

Watching Xiao Yan's dazed expression, Nalan Jie could basically be certain that Xiao Yan did not know about this matter. Although he also felt this was truly too coincidental, the matter of detoxification was more urgent at this moment, so he did not delve into it further.

"Then I will trouble you."

"Rest assured." Xiao Yan nodded, also putting away the doubts in his heart, walked to Nalan Jie's side, reached out to pinch Nalan Jie's wrist, and probed his soul power into his body to carefully investigate.

"How is it, can it be cured?" Having long suffered from the erosion of the Brand Poison, Nalan Jie could not help but feel a bit nervous at this moment, looking toward Xiao Yan with hopeful eyes.

After confirming the poisoning situation of Old Master Nalan once more, Xiao Yan revealed a look of relief and said: "Rest assured, Old Master, although your Brand Poison has already penetrated deep into your bone marrow, fortunately, the poison has not yet gone deep into your internal organs. With my current strength, it will take about—" Xiao Yan thought for a moment and gave a definite time: "One hour will suffice."

"One hour! So fast!" Upon hearing that the Brand Poison which had tortured him for many years and for which there was no solution could actually be removed in just one hour, even Nalan Jie's composure was somewhat dazed.

"What method do you intend to use? If it is only one hour, I fear there wouldn't even be enough time to refine medicinal pills," Nalan Jie asked with some curiosity.

"As for that, actually there is nothing mysterious about it, it just relies on this."

Whoosh! Following the agitation of Dou Qi, a cyan-red flame appeared on Xiao Yan's hand. "This is—Heavenly Flame?" With Nalan Jie's strength, he could naturally sense how powerful the flame in Xiao Yan's hand was, but according to his knowledge of Heavenly Flames, there shouldn't be a cyan-red Heavenly Flame. After all, at his level, information about Heavenly Flames was long since no secret.

Facing Nalan Jie's question, Xiao Yan naturally could not answer truthfully; he was not yet honest and naive to that extent.

"Mm, you can just consider this a type of fused flame that can rival a Heavenly Flame," Xiao Yan replied.

"I see." With Nalan Jie's wisdom, he could naturally see that Xiao Yan was concealing something, but matters involving a person's core cultivation secrets were things that even fathers and sons could not delve into, let alone him.

"Old Master Nalan, I am going to begin." Xiao Yan walked behind Nalan Jie and sat cross-legged; after adjusting his breathing slightly, he said.

"Good, come!" Nalan Jie's body also tensed up, he said.

Xiao Yan's eyes closed slightly, and with a *puchi* sound, the clothing on Nalan Jie's body was instantly incinerated. His soul power, carrying the Volcano Green Lotus Flame, surged into Nalan Jie's back.

Because the Brand Poison had already invaded the bone marrow, Nalan Jie's bones all presented an ominous pitch-black color.

The Heavenly Flame, carrying Xiao Yan's soul power, surged toward these pitch-black bones the moment it entered Nalan Jie's body.

"Ah!!!" Although he had been prepared, the pain of the raging fire burning his body still made this old man, who had been strong his whole life, unable to help but howl in agony.

But very quickly, this strong old man forcibly endured the pain again. His teeth were tightly clenched, the muscles on his cheeks and the blood vessels on his temples all bulged simultaneously, manifesting the pain Nalan Jie was enduring.

"Old Master, can you endure it? If you can, I am going to increase the firepower." Xiao Yan praised Nalan Jie's perseverance in his heart and spoke.

Because it sensed that Xiao Yan wanted to expel and eliminate it, the Brand Poison attached to Nalan Jie's bones began to counterattack Xiao Yan one after another. If he didn't hurry to strengthen the firepower, he feared he would be invaded by the counterattacking Brand Poison!

These were all things happening inside Nalan Jie's own body, and he naturally noticed it himself: "It's fine, Xiao Yan, just go ahead! This old man can take it!"

"Good!" Hearing Nalan Jie's words, Xiao Yan responded loudly. His vigorous Dou Qi, which could rival that of an intermediate Dou Ling, immediately surged and instantly transformed into a continuous stream of cyan-red Heavenly Flame, crazily rushing into Nalan Jie's body.

At this moment, the Brand Poison that had just suppressed Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame was instantly routed and crushed when faced with the massive Heavenly Flame army that Xiao Yan had summoned anew.

*Sizzle, sizzle* sounds exploded inside Nalan Jie's body. The Brand Poison, which had originally been like a maggot on the bone, was rapidly incinerated at a shocking speed under the offensive of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame, turning into clusters of black smoke that overflowed from Nalan Jie's mouth and nose.

Very quickly, in less than half an hour, the Brand Poison on Nalan Jie's bones was completely cleared by Xiao Yan, leaving only the Brand Poison in the internal organs.

Although the Brand Poison in the internal organs was much less than that on the bones, due to the fragility of the organs, Xiao Yan still spent about the same amount of time as he did on the bones to finish expelling it.

During this period, Xiao Yan also gave Nalan Jie quite a few tonic pills to prevent an imbalance in the internal circulation caused by sudden changes.

Very quickly, when Xiao Yan withdrew the Heavenly Flame and began to adjust his breathing, a powerful aura surged into the sky from Nalan Jie's body, instantly permeating the entire Nalan family mansion and spreading further outward!

Countless experts in the Imperial Capital were attracted by this sudden burst of momentum.

And the Nalan Su father and daughter, who had been guarding outside the door, were naturally the first to notice it.

"Heavens, he actually succeeded!" Feeling the momentum emanating from the side room, Nalan Yanran almost wept with joy. Crystal-clear moisture welled up in the eyes of this noble and proud young girl, bringing a unique sense of beauty.

After the excitement, Nalan Su noticed this at the first opportunity and suddenly said: "That's right, we really must thank him."

"By the way, Yanran, the matter of taking Xiao Yan to the treasury will be left to you."

"Mm!" Nalan Su's words made Nalan Yanran, whose emotions were gradually calming down, surge again. She remembered what she had said two days ago, remembered the meaning of the Seven-Colored Illusionary Spirit Saliva, lowered her head with a blush, and responded instinctively: "Mm."
