Looking at the young alchemist who slowly walked out of the corner, everyone in the hall was stunned. Several third-grade alchemists who had been helpless before suddenly showed a little sarcasm on their faces. Even the third-grade alchemist could not do anything.
You are a second-grade alchemist, what are your abilities?
Nalan Su stared at the young man who walked out, and turned to look at Nalan Yanran. They both saw a hint of astonishment in the other's eyes. Obviously, the behavior of this young second-grade alchemist was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Unexpectedly, they had not invited him out before. It was for the sake of Ya Fei. To be honest, they did not have any expectations for this young alchemist.
Although people should not be judged by their appearance, the other party is still only a second-grade alchemist after all. This level is still only in the preliminary stage of alchemy. How can we expect a beginner to be able to make Alchemy King Furukawa helpless?
Burning poison to expel?
"Little brother, you..." Standing up, Nalan Su, although he didn't think that the young man in front of him had hidden abilities, but out of habit, he still said a little cautiously: "You are sure to treat the old man
?”
Slowly stopping in the center of the hall, Xiao Yan glanced at Nalan Su and said indifferently: "Then may I ask, is Dan King Gu He confident in his treatment?"
"Uh..." After hearing this, Nalan Su paused, and then shook his head in embarrassment: "If Master Furukawa can treat it, then why do we have to spend so much energy seeking medical treatment everywhere."
"Since even King Alchemy is not absolutely sure, what Chief Nalan said to me is a bit..." Xiao Yan said coldly with a hint of ridicule in his hoarse voice.
Opening his mouth slightly, Nalan Su's original intention was to find out the background of the young man in front of him, but he didn't expect him to be so sharp. He was caught off guard and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood my father. He is not targeting you. It's just that the old man's situation is getting worse and worse now. We no longer have any extra time to spend, so naturally we need to be careful. Please don't mind." Nalan Su was stunned.
While doing this, Nalan Yanran, who was sitting quietly beside her, gently pulled down Nalan Su's robe with her jade hands, and then smiled calmly at Xiao Yan.
"Didn't you waste too much time just now?" His eyes stopped on the beautiful woman who made Xiao Yan's fists in his sleeves clenched unconsciously. His voice was still calm, not only because of the other party, but also
Her beauty has become looser, but there is an extra bit of coldness that is not difficult to detect.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the dozen or so alchemists in the hall couldn't help but look ugly. Xiao Yan's words undoubtedly meant that they were wasting Mr. Nalan's little remaining time to survive.
At that moment, an old man with gray hair, his face flushed red, couldn't help but reprimanded: "Where did this young boy come from? You are so arrogant, you are a mere second-grade alchemist, what qualifications do you have to say such things to us?
?”
As soon as the old man's scolding came out, several alchemists around him nodded indignantly, and then stared unkindly at the young man with his back to them.
Looking at the young man in front of him with a face as indifferent as a ball of ice, Nalan Yanran's eyebrows wrinkled slightly unnoticeably. If he was really capable, she wouldn't mind if he was arrogant, but if there was nothing real
She has great ability, but likes to talk nonsense. She hates this kind of person from the bottom of her heart.
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you have some confidence in your abilities..." Nalan Su came back to his senses, stared at Xiao Yan, and said in a deep voice: "But you should know that no matter how outstanding your talent is, your current
You are only a second-grade refiner..."
Nalan Su's words were not fully spoken before he suddenly stopped. At the same time, the temperature in the hall suddenly rose. The third-grade alchemists in the hall who were originally full of sarcasm were slowly opening their mouths at this moment.
Staring at the young man in the hall in disbelief...two balls of blue flames rising from his palms.
Beside the first person, Nalan Yanran looked at the green flame rising in the young man's palm, her jade hand slowly covering the redness, shock and ecstasy flashing in her autumn eyes.
"You all should know each other, right?" Xiao Yan ignored the silent atmosphere around him and said lightly, looking down at the blue flames that were jumping flexibly like two elves on his palms.
"Odd fire?" Taking a deep breath of the slightly hot air, the dozen or so third-level alchemists who had been dealing with flames all day long recognized the details of the blue flame, and their faces were slowly covered with shock.
As he stood, a series of envious and fanatical eyes stared at the rising and swirling blue flames.
"Little brother...you...is this a strange fire?" The shock gradually faded from his eyes, and the ecstasy on Nalan Su's face could hardly be concealed.
"Now, can you stop talking nonsense?" The young man with an ordinary face lowered his head and fiddled with the blue flame, speaking indifferently.
Although Xiao Yan's tone is still as rude as before, those third-level alchemists no longer dare to show their disdain and ridicule on their faces. Alchemists who can possess strange fire have almost no future in the alchemy world.
There is no limit to it. Even the Dan King Furukawa has never been able to possess the strange fire. You can imagine how hard to find and precious this thing is. To get the strange fire, you not only need opportunities, but also need the support of a huge reserve force.
, that is to say, behind this seemingly young second-grade alchemist, there must be an extremely powerful teacher...
"Your Excellency, on behalf of my father, I would like to apologize to you for my previous neglect, please!" Standing up, Nalan Yanran slightly bent towards Xiao Yan, her etiquette was impeccable.
Without answering her words, Xiao Yan glanced sideways at Nalan Su who was laughing sarcastically, and then walked past Nalan Yanran towards the side room.
Looking at Xiao Yan who was walking toward the side room, Nalan Su smiled and said something to the dozen or so third-level alchemists in the hall, waved his hand to the butler to wait on him, and then hurriedly followed with Nalan Yanran.
Slowly approaching the side room, a faint soft light shone out. Xiao Yan gently opened the door. The space in the room was quite large. In the center, a large bed was placed, and an old man with a withered face lay on it.
On top of it, around the bed, several maids were busy coming and going. When they heard the sound of the door, they cast their eyes over, and soon they were once again carefully taking care of the old man who fell into a coma.
Slowly approaching the big bed, Xiao Yan glanced over the bed and found that the old man's face was faintly covered with gray and black color, and there was a hint of death on his peacefully sleeping face.
"It's really serious..." Xiao Yan whispered as he glanced at the old man's face, which looked like he had half a foot in the grave.
"Yes, even a strong Dou Huang warrior would not dare to mess with something like branding poison. The old man has been able to survive so many years and has reached his limit." Nalan followed closely behind him.
He sighed solemnly and shook his head, and then said carefully: "Little brother, do you think there are any signs of healing?"
Beside, Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, her bright eyes staring closely at the tall and indifferent young man next to her.
"I have no other way, so I can only follow the method mentioned by Dan King Gu He, use strange fire to enter the old man's body, and then slowly drive out the poison." Xiao Yan shook his head and said calmly.
"In that case, the danger should be great, right?" Hearing this, Nalan Yanran whispered with a slight hesitation.
"Less than fifty percent sure."
Xiao Yan said lazily, glanced at Nalan Yanran whose pretty face changed slightly, and sneered: "Looking at the old man's appearance, he must not be able to survive for two more days. Let him die from the toxins, or should we fight hard?"
Whether it can be saved with a fight and how to choose, you decide for yourself, and it is better not to say those jokes about whether you are absolutely sure of it."
Xiao Yan's sneer and words with a stick between them made Nalan Yanran frown slightly and her pretty face looked a little unsightly. With her status, no one has dared to speak to her like this in these years.
"Hurry up, I don't have any extra time to waste." Xiao Yan flicked his sleeves and said calmly, ignoring Nalan Yanran's expression.
"Well, in this case, it all depends on my little brother. If you can really cure the old man, you will be our Nalan family's forever friend." After gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, Nalan Su finally said
He nodded sharply and said in a deep voice.
"Get out of the way, don't disturb me." Xiao Yan waved his hand casually, sitting next to the bed, with his right hand slightly raised, green flames swirled up, and in an instant, the temperature in the room skyrocketed.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to take action, Nalan Su took Nalan Yanran and hurriedly took a few steps back. At the same time, he waved his hand to expel all the maids in the room.
Holding Nalan Jie up on the bed with one hand, Xiao Yan casually glanced at the old man who was said to be a very good friend with his grandfather. Although after such a long period of toxin erosion, the old man's already withered face became even more...
Some of them look a little unnatural, but this one can still faintly see a bit of unruliness in them just like his name.
His left hand lightly slapped Nalan Jie's shoulder, and a dark force shook the clothes on his body into powder, revealing a skinny body like a skeleton.
Looking at this skinny body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head because of his temperament. On the other side, Nalan Yanran's eyes were even more ruddy, and a very rare mist lingered in her eyes.
In her eyes, this delicate woman looked a little pitiful.
Slowly stretched out his middle finger, and a wisp of green flames lingered at the fingertips. Xiao Yan stared at the wisp of green flames and said calmly: "I'm going to start. I said that using strange fire to enter the old man's body will be a miracle."
This is an extremely dangerous thing, so you have to make some extremely bad plans..."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su's expressions changed slightly, but they could only nodded with a wry smile.
The soul power slowly stretched out of the body, then wrapped the green flame in, trying hard to suppress its blazing high temperature, and then gently touched Nalan Jie's back.
With his finger pointing, the blue flames penetrated into Nalan Jie's body with a pop. At this moment, the body of the latter, who was originally unconscious, began to tremble suddenly.
Putting his finger on Nalan Jie's back, Xiao Yan squinted his eyes. His soul power controlled the green flame, quickly passing through some main meridians, and then gradually approaching the bones covered by the poison in the former's body.
.
With the help of the stretching of soul power, the condition inside Nalan Jie also appeared in Xiao Yan's mind. Sensing the bones that were almost blackened, Xiao Yan's brows gradually wrinkled. Nalan Jie was so poisoned,
Far beyond his expectation...
"It seems that it is impossible to expel the toxins at once. Let's choose to expel the toxins slowly..." Xiao Yan murmured in his heart, and the soul power of Xiao Yan was wrapped in cyan flames, and then he slowly approached the black ones wrapped in toxins.
As the bones approached, Xiao Yan's soul power gradually began to relax, and the temperature of the blue flames quietly climbed higher.
As the temperature of the green flame increased, Nalan Jie, who was originally numb, gradually felt pain on his face. His dry palms were also tightly clenched, and blue veins were bulging on his arms.
The cyan flame wrapped in soul power stopped rising when it reached each temperature. Xiao Yan slowly took a breath of the slightly hot air, hesitated for a moment, bit his teeth, and controlled the cyan flame.
Covered with a section of black bone.
"Ah..." On the bed, Nalan Jie, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A hoarse roar of severe pain came from his mouth, and a fierce aura came back to life, just like a flashback.
"Old man..." Looking at the old man who suddenly opened his eyes and roared, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su shouted hurriedly.
"I'm expelling the poison from you. If you can endure the severe pain, the poison should be expelled by burning it. But if not, then I'm powerless." Glancing at Nalan Jie, who was sweating profusely, he said
Xiao Yan said calmly.
Hearing the voice behind him, Nalan Jie turned his head slightly and looked at the young and indifferent face. He couldn't help but be startled. Then he gritted his teeth and laughed dryly: "Little boy, was it you who saved me?"
"I didn't say I would be able to save you. Maybe if I lose my mind, you will die in my hands."
"Haha, my life was saved in the first place, but the little kid actually let it go. Even if it kills me, no one dares to blame you." The corner of his mouth twitched as he endured the severe pain in his body, Nalan Jie said with a heroic smile.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Looking at Nalan Jie who woke up from a coma, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but said angrily.
"You damn girl, do you still have the nerve to come back? In the past three years, if it hadn't been for your willful trip to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, would I have been so angry that I stopped practicing and ended up like this due to the branding poison?" Na glared angrily.
Before Lan Yanran and Nalan Jie could stop roaring, they twitched the corners of their mouths and howled again. She turned her head and looked at the strange young man behind her who suddenly frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Little boy, why all of a sudden..."
"Quiet." The cold voice was slightly mixed with imperceptible anger, which made the three people in the room a little stunned, and then they fell silent helplessly.
Looking at the young man whose face was as cold as a ball of ice, Nalan Yanran quietly stuck out her tongue, then turned to look at Nalan Jie's resentful face, with a slight smile in her heart. Over the years, she dared to treat such a grumpy young man like this.
It seems that this guy is the one talking to the old man.
As the silence of several people fell, the atmosphere in the room quietly calmed down.
"Oh, I didn't expect that such a young person could possess something like strange fire that even Master Furukawa coveted..." The quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time, Nalan Su pulled Nalan Yanran back a little, and looked at
The young and cheerful figure beside the bed couldn't help turning her head and whispered to Nalan Yanran.
"Well, it's indeed amazing. He seems to be about the same age as me, but he actually possesses the legendary strange fire... I heard Elder Furukawa talk about the horror of this thing. Last time they went to the Tagore Desert to look for the strange fire.
It's a pity that such a huge lineup still returned empty-handed, which shows how ferocious that thing is." Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, and a rare glimmer of appreciation flashed across Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes. She was already one of the best among her peers.
She has been practicing in the Yunlan Sect for so many years, but she has never seen anyone of her own age who can surpass her. However, this young man named Yan Xiao is the first person she has ever felt admiration for her peers.
Maybe this is some kind of mutual recognition between outstanding people?
"What? You think he's pretty good?" Nalan Su said jokingly, glancing at his daughter's expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are disrespectful to me." She rolled her eyes at Nalan Su, and Nalan Yanran shook her head helplessly.
"Well, speaking of it, it seems that there is only less than half a month left before the three-year appointment between you and that little guy from the Xiao family?" After smiling, the smile on Nalan Su's face suddenly faded and he sighed.
road.
"..." Nalan Yanran was silent. After a moment, she nodded slightly and said softly: "There are still thirteen days."
"In three years, you have become much more mature than before. Now you should be able to understand how much shame and trouble your impulsive actions have brought to the Xiao family and Xiao Yan, right?" Nalan looked at his daughter beside him.
That smooth and beautiful side face, said.
Nalan Yanran was silent, and she opened the black hair on her forehead with her delicate hands. After a while, she whispered: "I know that my behavior brought them a lot of trouble, but I also know that I was right... The three-year appointment is about to begin.
Reach, I, waiting for him to come."
"I heard that Xiao Yan left Wutan City a year ago. However, as far as I know, before leaving, the boy who was once considered a waste has regained his previous cultivation talent. Alas...
Years later, I don’t know how far he has grown." Nalan Su shook his head with a wry smile, staring at the silent Nalan Yanran beside him. After a while, he said in a low voice: "This time, you seem to really see
Wrong...I said at the beginning, don't underestimate this young master of the Xiao family who has become a waste. Before he was thirteen years old, his cultivation speed shocked countless people..."
Nalan Yanran plucked away the green hair that fell on her forehead with her delicate hands, and remained silent. After a moment, she calmly said: "I will abide by the three-year agreement. If I win, the past will be wiped out. If I lose, I will accept it."
Lan Yanran also said that if you are a slave, you can do whatever he wants."
Nalan Yanran bit her red lips, slowly raised her pretty face, her eyes were slightly blurred, and the young man's cold words in the Xiao family hall three years ago came to mind again.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"
"This contract is not a contract to dissolve the engagement, but a divorce certificate for my young master to expel you from the Xiao family!"
"From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, have nothing to do with my Xiao family!"
Three years ago, under the oppression of the behemoth Yunlan Sect, the young man who was known as a waste was still stubborn, gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, and waited alone to emerge from his cocoon and turn into a butterfly...
