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

Chapter 73 Nalan Jie

Inside the hall, the temperature suddenly rose, and the third-grade alchemists in the hall slowly opened their mouths, staring in disbelief at the black and white flames rising from Xiao Jue's palm.

"You all should recognize each other, right?" Ignoring the surrounding silence, Xiao Jue looked down at the black and white flames that were leaping nimbly in his palm like sprites and said calmly.

"Strange fire?" Taking a deep breath of the slightly hot air, the dozen or so third-grade alchemists who dealt with fire every day instantly recognized the nature of the black and white flame. Shock slowly filled their faces, and their admiring and fanatical gazes were fixed on the rising and swirling black and white flame.

"Nephew Xiao Jue, this...this is a strange fire?" As the shock gradually faded from his eyes, Nalan Su could hardly hide the wild joy on his face.

Alchemists who possess a different kind of fire have virtually unlimited potential in the alchemy world. Even the Pill King Gu He never possessed a different kind of fire during his lifetime, and he even died for it.

One can imagine how rare and precious this thing is. To obtain a strange fire, one not only needs a stroke of luck, but also the support of a huge reserve force. In other words, Xiao Jue must have an extremely powerful teacher behind him.

Some people knew about Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's engagement. Although it was Nalan Yanran who broke off the engagement, they also knew that the Nalan family had given the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit to a young man from the Xiao family.

The Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birth is a medicinal herb that can enhance soul power, and it was also the reason why Nalan Jie was poisoned. In order to obtain this herb and fight against the fifth-order magical beast with poison attributes, these alchemists initially coveted the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birth, hoping to use it to enhance their soul power.

A third-grade alchemist suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "The Mittel family once hired a sixth-grade alchemist to refine several Spirit-Conquering Pills; that was his teacher!"

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

Watching Xiao Jue walk towards the side room, Nalan Su smiled and said something to the dozen or so third-grade alchemists and Consort Ya in the hall, then waved to the steward to serve him, and hurriedly followed.

Slowly walking into the side room, soft, dim light shone out. Xiao Jue gently pushed open the door. The room was quite spacious, with a large bed in the center, on which lay an old man with a withered face.

Several maids were busy around the bed. Hearing the door open, they turned their gazes over and then carefully tended to the old man who had fallen into a coma.

As Xiao Jue slowly approached the large bed, his gaze swept across the surface. He noticed that the old man's face was tinged with a large area of ​​gray-black, and there was an aura of death about his peaceful, sleeping face.

"It's really serious..." Xiao Jue said in a low voice, glancing at the old man's face, which looked like he had one foot in the grave.

"Yes, even a Dou Huang expert wouldn't dare to easily provoke such a thing as branding poison. The old man has already reached his limit by surviving for so many years." Nalan Su, who had followed closely behind, sighed and shook his head, then carefully asked, "Nephew Xiao Jue, do you see any signs of a cure?"

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

Xiao Jue sat beside the bed, his right hand slightly raised, black and white flames swirling around it, instantly causing the temperature in the room to rise sharply.

Seeing that Xiao Jue was about to make a move, Nalan Su quickly took a few steps back and waved his hand to drive all the maids out of the room.

Xiao Jue lifted Nalan Jie from the bed with one hand and casually glanced at this man who was said to be a very good friend of the previous head of the Xiao family.

Although the old man's already withered face had become somewhat unrecognizable after being exposed to toxins for so long, one could still faintly discern a hint of arrogance in his features, just like his name suggested.

With a light pat on Nalan Jie's shoulder, a hidden force shattered his robes into powder, revealing a emaciated body that resembled a skeleton.

Looking at the emaciated body, even Xiao Jue, with his strong personality, couldn't help but shake his head. He slowly extended his soul power out of his body, then enveloped the wisp of black and white flame, trying his best to suppress its scorching heat, and then gently touched it on Nalan Jie's back.

With a flick of his finger, the black and white flames shot into Nalan Jie's body with a whoosh, and the previously unconscious latter began to tremble violently at that moment.

With his finger pointing at Nalan Jie's back, Xiao Jue squinted, his soul power controlling the wisp of black and white flame, which quickly passed through some main meridians and then gradually approached the bones in Nalan Jie's body that were covered by branding poison.

With the help of extending his soul power, Xiao Jue's mind also saw the state of Nalan Jie's body. Sensing the bones that had almost turned black, Xiao Jue's brows gradually furrowed. Although he had expected Nalan Jie to be so deeply poisoned, he was still quite troublesome.

With his other hand, Xiao Jue took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and fed a Grade 5 Restoration Pill to Nalan Jie.

The soul power enveloped the black and white flames, then slowly approached the dark bones covered in poison. As it drew near, Xiao Jue's soul power gradually relaxed, and the temperature of the black and white flames quietly increased.

As the temperature of the black and white flames rose, Nalan Jie, whose face had been numb, gradually showed signs of pain. His withered hands clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged.

The black and white flames, enveloped by soul power, stopped rising when they reached their maximum temperature. Xiao Jue slowly inhaled the slightly hot air and controlled the black and white flames to cover a section of dark bone.

"Ah..." On the bed, Nalan Jie, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened them. A hoarse, painful roar came from his mouth. A fierce aura, as if he had been revived in the face of death, emanated from him.

"Father..." Nalan Su hurriedly called out 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, "Grandpa, I'm detoxifying you. It hurts a bit, but it will pass if you bear with it. I'll give you a Grade 5 Restoration Pill; it won't fail."

Hearing the voice behind him, Nalan Jie turned his head slightly, looked at the young, indifferent face, and was taken aback. Then, he gritted his teeth and chuckled dryly, "Little brat, you're the one who saved me?"

"Mm." Xiao Jue nodded, focusing on controlling the strange fire.

"Haha, I was lucky to be alive anyway, kid, go ahead and do whatever you want, no one will blame you if you kill someone."
