Chapter 73 Nalan Jie
The temperature in the hall suddenly rose. The third-grade alchemists in the hall slowly opened their mouths and stared in disbelief at the black and white flames rising from Xiao Jue's palm.

"You should all know him, right?" Ignoring the silent atmosphere around him, Xiao Jue looked down at the black and white flame that was jumping flexibly on his palm like an elf, and said lightly.

"Strange fire?" Taking a deep breath of the slightly hot air, the dozen or so third-grade alchemists who dealt with fire all day long instantly recognized the identity of the black and white flame. Their faces were slowly covered with shock, and their eyes were fixed with astonishment and fanaticism as they stared at the rising and swirling black and white flame.

"Nephew Xiao Jue, this... is a strange fire?" The shock gradually faded from his eyes, and the ecstasy on Nalan Su's face was almost impossible to conceal.

The future of an alchemist who can possess strange fire is almost limitless in the alchemy world. Even the King of Pills Gu He never possessed strange fire during his lifetime, and even died for it.

One can imagine how rare and precious this thing is. To obtain the strange fire, not only does one need opportunity, but also a huge backup force to support it. In other words, Xiao Jue must have an extremely powerful teacher behind him.

Some people knew about the engagement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. Although it was Nalan Yanran who broke off the engagement, they also knew that the Nalan family gave the Seven Illusions Green Spirit to a young man from the Xiao family.

The Seven Illusions Green Spirit Birth is a medicinal herb that can enhance soul power, and it is also the reason why Nalan Jie was poisoned. In order to obtain this medicinal herb and fight against the fifth-level poisonous monster, these alchemists initially coveted the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Birth, wanting to use it to enhance soul power.

A third-grade alchemist thought of something and exclaimed, "The Miter family originally hired a sixth-grade alchemist to refine several Douling Pills. He was his teacher!"

"Nephew Xiao Jue, please come in!" Nalan Su was overjoyed. Xiao Jue said to Ya Fei, "Wait here for me. I'll go and detoxify the old man."

Looking at Xiao Jue walking towards the side room, Nalan Su smiled and said something to the dozen or so third-grade alchemists and Ya Fei in the hall, waved his hand to call the butler to serve, and then hurriedly followed.

Slowly walking into the side room, a faint soft light shone out. Xiao Jue gently pushed open the door. The space inside the room was quite large. In the center, there was a big bed, and an old man with a dry face was lying on it.

Several maids were busy around the bed. When they heard the sound of the door, they looked over and immediately began to carefully take care of the unconscious old man again.

Slowly approaching the big bed, Xiao Jue glanced at the bed and found that the old man's face was faintly covered with large patches of gray and black. There was even a hint of death on his quietly sleeping face.

"It's really serious..." Xiao Jue whispered, glancing at the old man's face that looked like he had one foot in the grave.

"Yes, with something like branding poison, even a Douhuang warrior wouldn't dare to touch it lightly. The fact that the old man has been able to endure all these years is already reaching his limit." Nalan Su, who was following closely behind him, sighed and shook his head, then said carefully, "Nephew Xiao Jue, do you see any signs of treatment?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Don't disturb me during this process."

Xiao Jue sat beside the bed, his right hand slightly raised, and black and white flames swirled up, instantly causing the temperature in the room to soar.

Seeing that Xiao Jue was about to take action, Nalan Su hurriedly took a few steps back and waved his hand to expel all the maids in the room.

Lifting Nalan Jie up from the bed with one hand, Xiao Jue casually glanced at this man, who was said to have been a close friend of the previous head of the Xiao family. Although the old man's already withered face had become somewhat unrecognizable after so long under the ravages of the poison, he still managed to evoke a hint of the unruly nature of his name.

His left hand lightly slapped on Nalan Jie's shoulder, and a hidden force shattered the clothes on his body into powder, revealing a skinny body like a skeleton.

Looking at this skinny body, even with Xiao Jue's temperament, he couldn't help but shake his head. The soul power slowly stretched out of the body, then wrapped the black and white flame in it, trying hard to suppress its scorching heat, and then gently touched Nalan Jie's back.

As he pointed his finger, the black and white flames puffed into Nalan Jie's body, and at this moment, the unconscious latter suddenly began to tremble.

Pointing his fingers at Nalan Jie's back, Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes and used his soul power to control the black and white flame, which quickly passed through some main meridians and then gradually approached the bones in the former's body that were covered with branding poison.

With the help of the extension of soul power, the condition inside Nalan Jie's body also appeared in Xiao Jue's mind. Sensing those bones that had almost turned black, Xiao Jue's brows gradually frowned. Although he had expected that Nalan Jie was deeply poisoned, it was still a bit difficult to deal with.

With his other hand, he took out a jade bottle from the ring and put a fifth-grade recovery pill into Nalan Jie's mouth.

The soul power wrapped around the black and white flames, and then slowly approached the black bones wrapped in toxins. As it approached, Xiao Jue's soul power gradually began to relax, and the temperature of the black and white flames quietly rose.

As the temperature of the black and white flames rose, Nalan Jie, who had originally had a numb face, gradually felt a sense of pain on his face. His dry palms were clenched tightly, and blue veins were bulging on his arms.

The black and white flames wrapped in soul power stopped rising when they reached each temperature. Xiao Jue slowly took a breath of the slightly hot air and controlled the black and white flames to cover a piece of black bone.

"Ah..." Nalan Jie, who had his eyes closed on the bed, suddenly opened them. A hoarse roar of pain came out of his mouth, and a fierce aura came back to him, as if a last breath of life had come back to him.

"Dad..." Nalan Su shouted hurriedly as he looked at the old man who suddenly opened his eyes and roared.

Glancing at Nalan Jie, whose face was covered in sweat, Xiao Jue said, "Old man, I'm removing the poison from you. It's a little painful, but bear with it and it will pass. I'll give you a fifth-grade recovery pill. It won't fail."

Hearing the voice behind him, Nalan Jie tilted his head slightly and looked at the young, indifferent face. He couldn't help but be stunned. Then he gritted his teeth and laughed dryly, "Little boy, you saved me?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jue nodded and concentrated on controlling the strange fire.

"Haha, I was saved in the first place. Just do it, little brat. No one will blame you if you die."
