Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Searing Poison

"Grandfather."

Nalan Yanran looked at the old man with weak breathing frequency on the bed, her eyes full of sadness.

This hateful Searing Poison turned a Dou King expert into such a frail appearance in just a few years.

Nalan Yanran couldn't imagine that her grandfather would one day walk towards death so undignifiedly.

"I found a way to save you."

Nalan Yanran murmured softly.

At this time, Nalan Yanran's father also arrived.

He said excitedly: "Yanran, you invited Mr. Yan Xiao!"

Nalan Yanran nodded.

"Great, Mr. Yan Xiao possesses a Heavenly Flame. Father's poison can finally be cured!"

"Father, later ask the clan guards to alert the surroundings. Mr. Yan Xiao treating Grandfather cannot be disturbed at all."

Nalan Yanran said.

"Naturally, I will arrange it properly."

"Yanran, go invite Mr. Yan Xiao in quickly. Don't let him wait outside for long."

Nalan Yanran turned and walked out of the house, passed through several paths, and saw Xiao Yan standing in the open garden.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, my grandfather is ready. Can I trouble you to check his condition first?"

"Let's go and have a look first."

Xiao Yan followed Nalan Yanran into the heavily guarded room inside the Nalan family.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a faint rotten smell.

Although Nalan Yanran had dealt with it before, the poison had spread too deeply and would inevitably erode some objects.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he couldn't stand the smell, but that the poison could already permeate the air, indicating that Old Master Nalan's poison had penetrated deep into the marrow.

"Mr. Yan Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Yan walk into the room, Nalan Yanran's father stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Yanran must have told you the specific matter. Please lend a helping hand and save my father. My Nalan family will remember your kindness forever!"

Hearing such words, Xiao Yan felt no fluctuation in his heart.

"Let me see first."

He came this time entirely because of the relationship between his grandfather and Nalan Yanran's grandfather.

If it were someone else, Xiao Yan wouldn't care about his life or death.

And after this time, the fate between their Xiao family and the Nalan family will also be completely severed.

Xiao Yan came to the bed and saw the thin and dark figure lying on the bed.

The withered arm was obviously not in a healthy state. The blood flowing under the skin surface showed a faint black color, looking very unnatural.

That faint rotten smell emanated from this old man.

Xiao Yan's first glance clearly saw the appearance of this old man.

Is this Grandfather's life-and-death friend?

Looking somewhat resolute on the outside, but unfortunately now entangled by Searing Poison, his posture is definitely not as good as before.

This Searing Poison is still somewhat capable.

"Help the old man up first."

Xiao Yan said.

Nalan Yanran did as told immediately.

After she helped Nalan Jie sit upright, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged behind Nalan Jie, and a colorless flame ignited in his palm.

The temperature in the room instantly rose by a level.

That faint rotten smell also dissipated invisibly.

"This is the Heavenly Flame!"

Nalan Yanran's father looked at the flame on Xiao Yan's hand in shock.

Even though he had seen it at the Alchemist Conference before, seeing it for the second time was still very shocking.

"The old man's mind has fallen into a coma and is difficult to wake up. I will need to conduct some in-depth checks later. At that time, his body may involuntarily convulse. Please hold him down."

Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Yan Xiao, we'll do whatever you say!"

Nalan Yanran's father nodded directly.

If it were before the Alchemist Conference, a rogue cultivator alchemist like Yan Xiao who entered everyone's sight for the first time would not be able to enter the gate of the Nalan Residence at all.

Even if he showed the Heavenly Flame, Nalan Yanran's father would probably consider it carefully.

But now, Yan Xiao is the champion of the Alchemist Conference!

Just this title is enough to erase any defects of insufficient qualifications.

At least in terms of alchemy, no one will question it anymore.

This is the benefit of fame.

Xiao Yan slapped Nalan Jie's back from a distance. With his Dou Spirit realm cultivation, facing a half-dead Dou King, he wasn't afraid at all.

The Heavenly Flame invaded Nalan Jie's body along with Dou Qi and traveled quickly in his meridians.

The invasion of foreign energy caused Nalan Jie's body to resist instinctively.

Not only the external muscle twitches, but inside the body, a large amount of black Dou Qi quickly surged towards the Fallen Heart Flame, wanting to drive it out of the body.

Nalan Jie's Dou Qi had long been mixed with rich Searing Poison.

After years of erosion, the two were indistinguishable.

Xiao Yan frowned and increased the intensity of the investigation.

"Ah..."

A painful murmur came from Nalan Jie's mouth.

As the Heavenly Flame deepened, his body trembled even more violently.

If Han Feng needed to swallow the Heavenly Flame into his body and then fight when refining it before.

Then the current Nalan Jie has experienced the terror of refining a Heavenly Flame.

Extremely high flame temperature roasted the inside of Nalan Jie's body. This is an indescribable pain that only those who have personally refined a Heavenly Flame can understand.

Xiao Yan didn't have this memory, so when he saw Nalan Jie's body trembling more and more, he immediately shouted: "Take action quickly, don't let him move anymore."

Seeing her grandfather in such pain, Nalan Yanran couldn't bear it, but her father listened to Mr. Yan Xiao very much and stepped forward without hesitation to pin Nalan Jie firmly.

"Father, be honest!"

"Woo woo woo!"

Nalan Jie roared hysterically in his mouth.

No one could understand his pain at this moment.

"The Searing Poison is rooted so deep."

After some detection, Xiao Yan finally found the source of the Searing Poison.

That was a huge wound. A large part of the Searing Poison on Nalan Jie came from this place.

Xiao Yan raised his spirits, and the flame temperature in his hand rose sharply.

As an alchemist who just entered the fifth grade, he was quite confident in his control of flames.

At least he won't hurt Nalan Jie's body with the Heavenly Flame.

But how painful this is, Xiao Yan didn't know, and this was not something he could control.

Because he hadn't experienced the pain of refining a Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan acted very "ruthlessly."

Gradually, Nalan Jie was even awakened by the pain.

He wanted to struggle but found his body firmly locked by his son, and a towel was thoughtfully stuffed in his mouth.

"Woo woo woo!"

Nalan Jie whimpered, but was locked tighter.

"Father!"

"It will be fine soon, bear with it a bit longer."

Nalan Yanran looked at the exceptionally "beautiful" scene of her father and grandfather at this time and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Another half a quarter of an hour passed, and Nalan Jie fainted again from the pain.

Even as tenacious as the Lionheart General, he finally fell on the road of the Heavenly Flame.

That kind of tormenting little thing is really not something ordinary people can bear.

"Father, loosen up a bit. Grandfather has fainted."

Nalan Yanran reminded.

"No!"

"Your grandfather is much stronger than me. If he breaks free, this attempt will fall short!"

Nalan Yanran's father's aptitude was also mediocre. Under such generous conditions and resources of the Nalan family, he only barely cultivated to Dou Spirit.

So he dared not relax at all, for fear of being broken free by Nalan Jie.

Time passed minute by minute. During this period, Nalan Jie was awakened by pain three times and fainted from pain three times.

Finally, Xiao Yan withdrew his skill.

Feeling the rich Dou King essence Dou Qi in the Fallen Heart Flame, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Fortunately, the mask covered his expression; otherwise, he would definitely be beaten by the Nalan family.

[Teacher was right. While removing poison, I can actually extract essence Dou Qi. This trip is not a loss!]

Xiao Yan put this matter aside first, adjusted his breath, and opened his eyes.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, how is my grandfather?"

"The specific situation is not very optimistic. Many organs in the body have been eroded by Searing Poison, but it can still be cured."

"Really!"

Nalan Yanran's face turned from worry to joy.

As expected of Mr. Yan Xiao!

The first place in the Alchemist Conference is indeed better than those alchemists who seek fame.

Some unscrupulous alchemists charge exorbitant prices.

And after collecting money, they say they can't guarantee a cure.

To save Nalan Jie, the dignified Nalan Residence was cheated several times.

Facts prove that it's not that you can't see through the scam, but just haven't met the right one for you.

"Don't be happy too early."

Xiao Yan quickly poured cold water.

"Old Master Nalan has been poisoned for too long. The Searing Poison has invaded the heart meridians. Even if the toxin is finally removed, he probably won't recover to his former appearance."

"It doesn't matter. Curing a little is a little."

Nalan Yanran's father said so.

Xiao Yan nodded.

"That's all for today. I'll come again tomorrow."

Xiao Yan got up, ready to leave.

"Oh right, remember to prepare at least five sets of medicinal ingredients according to this prescription."

Xiao Yan handed the list of medicinal ingredients to Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran looked at it a few times and put it away.

For the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, this amount of medicinal ingredients was really not worth mentioning.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, how many days will it take for my grandfather to wake up?"

Nalan Yanran asked.

"Don't rush. This disease needs to be nursed slowly."

Xiao Yan said.

"I know, it's just... I'm going to participate in a relatively important competition next. If possible, I hope my grandfather will be present too."

Nalan Yanran thought to herself that if her grandfather watched her defeat Xiao Yan, maybe the previous matter could pass.

Even if she made some mistakes once, but now that the bet has been made, executing according to the result of the bet, others have no right to say anything.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned upon hearing this. After a long while, he looked at Nalan Yanran and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely wake up before that day."

"Thank you!"

Nalan Yanran thanked sincerely.

Xiao Yan felt a bit strange in his heart.

I'm going to beat you up fiercely in front of your family then. What are you thanking for?

"Alright, I'll come again tomorrow."

Xiao Yan didn't plan to stay long. He still had a ball of Dou Qi essence waiting to be refined in his body.

Mere Searing Poison was not worth mentioning in front of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Among the functions of this Heavenly Flame, one was originally to temper Dou Qi.

Xiao Yan didn't even need to do more things to enjoy the benefits and digest Nalan Yanran's grandfather's Dou Qi.

Returning to the Mittel family.

Xiao Yan first reported the harvest to his teacher.

Yao Chen checked Xiao Yan's body and found no abnormality, then nodded: "Not bad. It seems your first time using a Heavenly Flame to save people was quite successful."

Xiao Yan touched his nose, thinking of the number of times Nalan Jie fainted today.

"So-so..."

"Go back and refine this ball of Dou King Dou Qi well. It should allow your cultivation to grow a little."

Although stealing people's Dou Qi is generally done by evil demons, there is no need to be too tangled about the benefits obtained occasionally.

In this regard, Yao Chen was not a pedantic person.

Xiao Yan left Yao Chen's room and went to his father Xiao Zhan's room to chat for a while, explaining Nalan Jie's situation.

Hearing Nalan Jie's miserable situation now, Xiao Zhan sighed deeply.

"Things change so fast."

Thinking back, how good the relationship between the two families was. If they really married, with Yan'er's current achievements, he would not be weak compared to Nalan Yanran, and maybe create a good story.

Xiao Yan didn't understand his father's emotion because he hadn't experienced the years of his father's generation.

At least between him and Nalan Yanran, there was only the connection of that Three-Year Agreement.

Leaving his father's room, Xiao Yan finally knocked on Han Feng's door.

"Senior Brother? I'm coming in."

Xiao Yan carefully opened the door, but when he saw the scene inside, he froze on the spot.

Mittel Ai Lin smiled and nodded at Xiao Yan, then got up and said to Han Feng: "Mr. Han, then I'll come again tomorrow."

"Mm."

Han Feng got up to send her off. Passing by Xiao Yan, this kid awkwardly touched his nose and lowered his head without speaking.

"What's wrong?"

Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan's hesitant expression.

"Senior Brother, did I ruin your good thing just now?"

Xiao Yan asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Han Feng glanced at him.

"Speak if you have something to say."

"Oh, it's like this..."

Xiao Yan said: "I used the Fallen Heart Flame to treat someone for the first time today, but I felt my control of the strength might not be very accurate. The other party was in so much pain that he needed someone to suppress him desperately to keep quiet."

Han Feng fell silent after hearing this.

"Tell me what you did today."

Xiao Yan nodded and told what he did today.

Han Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a strange look in his eyes.

This kid hasn't completely refined a Heavenly Flame, so he has no experience of the pain involved.

So when using a Heavenly Flame to treat others, he had no psychological burden at all.

Old Master Nalan being able to survive today's "torture" can be considered a fierce general.

Han Feng shook his head as he imagined the scene of Nalan Jie being firmly suppressed by his son and enduring the burning of the Heavenly Flame continuously.

The picture was too beautiful; he didn't know what to say for a moment.

When Nalan Jie recovers, he will probably have a fight with Nalan Yanran's father.

"Come on, I'll teach you some methods to control Heavenly Flames to save people."

Han Feng said to Xiao Yan.

Although he didn't plan for Xiao Yan to learn it in one night, hope Nalan Jie can have a better time tomorrow.
