Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 72 The Nalan Family

Xiao Jue immediately responded with "o_i_", Ya Fei instantly understood, and said "or2", followed by "or2-7".

After some playful banter, the two headed to the Nalan family home together. They weren't in a hurry to visit the Mittel family, as Xiao Jue planned to help Nalan Jie remove the branding poison first, thus fulfilling his promise to Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Jue have a better relationship, but that doesn't mean Xiao Jue can't help Nalan Yanran, because he's certain that his help to Nalan Yanran won't be enough for her to defeat Xiao Yan.

Moreover, Xiao Jue helped Xiao Yan even more. Putting aside the pills, although Xiao Jue provided the medicinal materials, they were all refined by Yao Lao, and the small portion refined by Xiao Jue was not that precious.

But the most precious thing is the fire seed. Peach Blossom Fire and its offspring are not worth mentioning. For a fifth-tier magical beast, what is truly precious are the Illusionary Gold Fire and the offspring of Yin-Yang Twin Flames, as well as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

If Xiao Yan knew about the relationship between Xiao Jue and Nalan Yanran, and the help Xiao Jue had given to Nalan Yanran, he wouldn't blame Xiao Jue. Even if Xiao Yan hated Nalan Yanran, he would be at peace once he won after the three-year agreement ended.

It's simply a matter of neither party owing the other anything.

On the way, Ya Fei said to Xiao Jue, "Half a month ago, the poison hidden in Old Master Nalan's body finally erupted completely. Under this eruption, Old Master Nalan, whose strength was at the Dou Wang level, completely collapsed. Now the entire Nalan family is in chaos, searching everywhere for alchemists to come to his rescue."

"If you come to visit at this time, the Nalan family will owe you a great favor, although you probably don't care."

Ya Fei gazed at Xiao Jue with her beautiful eyes. In just three years, or rather two years, Xiao Jue had gone from a genius of a small family in Wutan City to a rare powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire.

Now that Dan Wang Guhe has died at the hands of the Snake-People, the Alchemist Guild Master Fa Ma is now the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire. It's just unknown whether Xiao Jue or he is stronger.

With Xiao Jue's talent in alchemy, has becoming a Dou Wang (Battle King) made him a true sixth-grade alchemist?

Ya Fei was unaware that Xiao Jue possessed the bloodline of the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast, mistaking his dragon wings for battle qi wings, and she also did not know much about flight battle techniques.

After walking down a street, the two headed toward the massive mansion not far away.

Upon entering the imposing mansion, one finds a large crowd gathered at the entrance, all dressed in the robes of alchemists, with shimmering silver patterns on their chests proudly displaying their status and rank.

On the bustling street, passersby would cast envious and awe-inspiring glances at the group of alchemists whispering among themselves. In their minds, alchemy was a noble profession, akin to that of aristocrats.

The Nalan family clearly did not dare to neglect these powerful alchemists. At the entrance, some servants were respectfully talking to the alchemists waiting outside. Only after they realized that the alchemists did they allow them to enter.

As for some alchemists whose strength was really questionable, they could only be politely refused. Although this action made the alchemists who were stopped somewhat dissatisfied, considering the power of the Nalan family and the relationship between Nalan Yanran and Yunlan Sect, they had no choice but to leave with a slight displeasure.

Those alchemists who were allowed to enter were mostly third-grade alchemists, while those who were refused entry were second-grade, and there were even some first-grade alchemists who came just to join in the fun.

Fourth-grade and fifth-grade alchemists are extremely rare in the Jia Ma Empire. They have all come to the Nalan family to try to remove the branding poison from Nalan Jie, but without exception, they have all failed.

The two arrived at the Nalan family's gate, where an elderly man who appeared to be the butler hurriedly came forward and greeted them with a smile, "Miss Yafei, who is this?"

"Xiao family, Xiao Jue." Xiao Jue said calmly, "Two years ago, the Nalan family gave me a Seven Illusion Green Spirit Flower. Today, I've come to detoxify the old man."

Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Xiao Jue possesses a strange fire, and you can already get rid of these alchemists. He is 100% confident that he can cure Old Master Nalan's poison."

"Young Master Xiao Jue of the Xiao family?" The old man was initially pleasantly surprised, then respectfully said, "Please come in, both of you."

Upon entering the gate, the Nalan family's steward led the way, with Xiao Jue and Ya Fei following behind. Their gazes swept over the luxurious mansion, its towering and imposing buildings belying the fact that the Nalan family truly lived up to its reputation as one of the three great families of the Jia Ma Empire.

Walking on the path paved with blue pebbles, Xiao Jue looked up casually and glanced at the eaves of a house where some dark shadows were hidden in the shadows.

A series of sharp arrows, painted black to conceal their reflection in the sunlight, moved slowly through the mansion. Any slight movement would trigger their attack in an instant.

Xiao Jue looked up at the luxurious hall that appeared at the end of the path. Through the half-open door, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be quite a few people standing inside.

As they slowly entered the hall, low whispers could be heard. The whispers ceased abruptly when the door was gently pushed open, and all eyes turned to the entrance. The gazes lingered on Xiao Jue and Ya Fei before finally settling on the Nalan family's steward. Who had he personally brought in?

Normally, the Nalan family's steward would greet the other alchemists at the door, and then a maid would lead them in.

At the head of the hall sat a middle-aged man. He was not wearing an alchemist's robe. He sat in the chair with an imposing air, and his eyes darted around, exuding an air of authority.

The latest novel is first published here!

As Xiao Jue stared at the middle-aged man, the man also turned his gaze to him. Looking at the former's youthful appearance, he was slightly taken aback, then stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Jue, and said with a smile, "Young brother, I am Nalan Su from the Nalan family."

"My niece, Ya Fei, regarding the matter I asked the Mittel family to handle, have you found an alchemist with a unique flame?"

"Uncle Nalan." Xiao Jue greeted him politely with a cupped-hand salute, after all, he had just given Nalan Yanran a hard time a few days ago.

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Uncle Nalan, we are here to help the old man detoxify."

The steward respectfully said, "Master, this is a distinguished guest of the Xiao family in Wutan City, the cousin of Young Master Xiao Yan, who has come to detoxify the old master."

Nalan Su was overjoyed and asked, "Has Xiao Jue's teacher also come to the capital?"

"The teacher has already left," Xiao Jue chuckled, "but I possess a different kind of fire, enough to help the old man detoxify."
