Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 41 Though I am an old man, let me do it!

Although it was late at night, the surroundings were not pitch black under the moonlight, which was enough to illuminate the faces of the two people talking inside the pavilion.

However, the two people in the pavilion had completely different expressions. Lin Feng's face showed a hint of eagerness, while Nalan Jie's face showed some hesitation.

"Mr. Lin Feng, it's not that I'm unwilling to let you try, but this branding poison can even poison a Dou Wang level expert, let alone..." Nalan Jie stopped speaking here, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

"Senior Nalan, there's no need to worry. My master once gave me a seventh-grade pill," Lin Feng told a lie to boost Nalan Jie's confidence. "You could say I'm immune to all poisons. At least, I'm not afraid of poisons that can't even kill a Dou Zong."

"In that case, please, Mr. Lin Feng, take a look." Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Nalan Jie hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his hand.

After circulating his battle qi to protect his meridians, Lin Feng placed his hand on Nalan Jie's arm, and his soul power followed the battle qi to sense inwards.

"boom"

A surge of immense energy appeared in Lin Feng's perception, powerful and robust, far surpassing anything Lin Feng could currently possess in terms of quantity. However, "in terms of quality, the battle qi cultivated by my Five Elements Technique is superior."

The power of his soul extended continuously through his meridians along with his battle qi. Suddenly, Lin Feng's expression hardened as a huge mass of black energy appeared in his perception, radiating an extremely evil aura.

"I never expected it to be so terrifying. I wonder if I can refine it using the power of the Five Elements Technique's annihilation."

Thinking this, a surge of powerful battle qi energy once again erupted from Lin Feng's dantian, accompanied by flames of three colors. As this battle qi energy entered Nalan Jie's body, the black evil energy seemed to sense something and twitched slightly.

Sensing its movement, Lin Feng quickly used his soul power to envelop his battle qi energy, isolating it from his senses.

"call"

"Mr. Lin Feng, is there any way to cure him?" Seeing Lin Feng open his eyes, Nalan Jie couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of hope. "Perhaps, the apprentice of the alchemy master might have a solution."

After wiping the sweat from his face, Lin Feng looked at Nalan Jie's old face and said, "Senior Nalan, I do have a way to cure this branding poison, but the treatment is quite mentally taxing. I wonder if you know..."

"Mr. Lin Feng, do you truly have a way to deal with this evil entity? This, Mr. Lin Feng, is not a question I have, but it is indeed true."

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a delighted Nalan Jie, who stammered incoherently. This was an immense surprise for him. As for the meaning behind Lin Feng's words, the shrewd and experienced Nalan Jie understood it perfectly.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin Feng, please feel free to ask. As long as it's something from the Nalan family, we can give it to you." Nalan Jie waved his hand excitedly and stroked his beard.

"I've heard that Senior Nalan has a spiritual herb called Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva in his home. I wonder if Senior Nalan would be willing to part with it?" Lin Feng remained noncommittal about Nalan Jie's unrestrained manner and directly made his request.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Nalan Jie's hand, which was stroking his beard, paused, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Lin Feng has a good eye. There is indeed a Seven Illusion Azure Spirit Saliva in the clan. Speaking of which, if it weren't for this spiritual herb, I wouldn't have suffered this branding poison."

Seeing Nalan Jie's complaining, Lin Feng remained unmoved; he wasn't doing charity work.

Seeing Lin Feng's attitude, Nalan Jie knew that there was no way to keep the elixir.

"Of course, I understand the rules of alchemists. There is no such thing as free treatment. I will retrieve the elixir as soon as I return to my clan and present it to Mr. Lin Feng."

"There's no time like the present, Senior Nalan. Why don't we go back today and prepare a secret room? I'll also prepare some pills in case of any unexpected situations. After that, I'll head to the Nalan residence." Lin Feng still needs to make several preparations for this branding poison, since he doesn't have any strange fire.

"Then I will go back and await Mr. Lin Feng's arrival."

Inside the alchemy room, Lin Feng stood in front of a medicine cauldron, stroking his chin in thought.

"In the original story, the anti-inflammatory medicine was suppressed by the powerful force of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, while three sixth-order beast flames are obviously no match for the strange flame. My only advantage is the power of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements."

"But relying solely on this method still carries some risk. We must refine some elixirs to prevent the poison from backfiring. It doesn't matter if Nalan Jie is gone, but we can't afford any mistakes on his behalf."

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Feng decided on the type of pill he wanted to refine.

Grade 4 Ice Heart Pill: Its effect is to stabilize the mind of the user for one hour, and it also has a suppressive effect on fire-type spiritual objects.

Fourth-grade antidote pill: As the name suggests, it is for prevention if present.

After refining pills for a while, Lin Feng felt it wasn't safe, so he went to Fa Ma to refine a few fifth-grade detoxification pills.

After making all the preparations, Lin Feng did not rush to the Nalan family's residence. Instead, he went to check if Qing Lin had woken up before going back to bed and sleeping soundly.

Inside a spacious living room of the Nalan family, a middle-aged man and an elderly man sat facing each other.

"Father, are you sure Master Lin Feng said he would come tonight to detoxify me?" Nalan Su, who had been waiting for an hour, looked towards the door with a slight doubt in his heart.

"Of course, Master Lin Feng clearly told me he would be leaving soon so he could refine some preventative pills. He's probably on his way now." Seeing Nalan Su about to speak again, Nalan Jie shouted, "Shut up! You're already the head of the family, how can you still have no self-control!"

"Yes, Father." Nalan Su, who had been scolded, quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and shrank back. He was still quite afraid of his old man.

Another hour passed, and it was almost dawn, but the two Nalans in the hall were still waiting.

"Father, this..." Finally, Nalan Su couldn't help but speak again.

"Alas, perhaps I really have misremembered." At this moment, Nalan Jie was also full of doubts, with many questions in his mind. "Could it be that I'm really getting senile?"

The next morning, a knock on the door startled the guards at the Nalan family's gate.

"Um, may I ask who you are?" The Nalan family guard, whose good dream had been disturbed, was about to shout and curse when another guard quickly covered his mouth and cautiously asked the newcomer.

"My name is Lin Feng. Senior Nalan should have told you about me."

"So it's Master Lin Feng. The patriarch instructed us to take you directly to see him as soon as you arrived." Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the quick-witted guard immediately responded and then led Lin Feng to the inner courtyard.

As for the guard who had wanted to berate Lin Feng, he was now completely terrified, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself, "Really, I really didn't expect this."

After passing through several courtyards, Lin Feng saw the two Nalans dozing off in the main hall.

"Uh, this is..." Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's lips twitched, somewhat unable to bear to look. "Could this be the Nalan family's cultivation method?"

"Alright, you may leave." He waved his hand, signaling the guard to leave.

"Senior Nalan," she said softly as she walked forward.

As Lin Feng spoke, the two Nalans, who hadn't slept all night, finally opened their bloodshot eyes slightly. They then stared at Lin Feng expressionlessly, which startled him, causing him to quickly take a step back.

"Um, what's this about you two?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.

"Mr. Lin Feng, have you forgotten what we talked about last night?" Nalan Jie asked expressionlessly, seeing that Lin Feng had indeed forgotten everything.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng recalled the scene from last night and said, "I will go to the Nalan residence."

"Uh, haha," Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly, then waved his hand dismissively. How could he admit that he had gone to sleep after refining the pills yesterday? "So, Senior Nalan, are you ready?"

Speechless, he looked at Lin Feng's expression. "Fine, since I need his help," he thought. "In that case, Mr. Lin Feng, please follow me."

Can you really say you've forgotten about being an alchemist?
