NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96: Obtained
Chapter 96: Obtained
When he came to his senses, Su Yun carefully examined Nalan Jie's condition.
After a while, Su Yun retracted his soul power.
Hmm, this poison is indeed powerful. If it weren't for Nalan Jie's Dou King cultivation and his robust Dou Qi, he would have died from the poison long ago.
Moreover, the iron-branded venom imprinted by that Tier 5 demonic beast, the Iron-branded Venom Python, injected into Nalan Jie's body should only be about ten to twenty percent.
If all of it were injected, even if Nalan Jie had Dou King cultivation, he would have died from the poison by now.
The venom of the Iron-branded Venom Python is not to be trifled with. If it weren't for its scarcity and difficulty in reproducing, it would probably be a dominant force on the Dou Qi continent.
After some contemplation, Su Yun spoke up.
"Nalan Elder, I do have a way to solve the problem on your body."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie's heart was ecstatic, and his face showed an excited expression.
"You really have a way?!"
Su Yun nodded.
"Of course!"
"Please, Master, save me!"
Su Yun stretched out his right hand, and Dou Qi from his dantian drove the Qinglian Heartfire along his meridians, and a green flame appeared on Su Yun's hand.
"Elder, do you recognize this thing?"
Su Yun asked.
A hint of shock flashed in Nalan Jie's eyes.
The green flame floated in the air, and the terrifying temperature caused ripples in the space.
"This is… a heavenly flame!"
A hint of incredulity flashed across Nalan Jie's face.
"Yes, the ordinary flames in your body cannot refine the poison, but the heavenly flame is different.
As long as the heavenly flame enters your body and burns, the branded poison attached to you will naturally be resolved."
Nalan Jie said eagerly.
"Then I don't know when Master Zhang will start detoxifying me?"
Su Yun smiled slightly and dissipated the Qinglian Heartfire.
"Elder, don't be in a hurry. Detoxification can start at any time.
But about the reward, you haven't settled it yet.
You can't just let me help you for nothing, right?
Although the Fourth-Rank Pill Formula is good, it's just that. It's far from enough to ask a Sixth-Rank Alchemist to help."
Nalan Jie was stunned, a bit embarrassed on his face.
The fee for a Sixth-Rank Alchemist's services was not low at all.
When he invited Dan King Guhe over before, it was also because of the relationship with Yanran.
Even so, their Nalan Family also paid a considerable amount of valuable treasures.
And that was just for inviting him to see a doctor, without even solving the branded poison on his body.
Su Yun didn't speak, just waited quietly.
No one was a fool. Nalan Jie definitely knew what could move him; it was just a matter of whether he was willing to part with it.
Su Yun took a sip of tea, looking calm and composed.
After a while, Nalan Jie seemed to have made up his mind. He clasped his hands and said to Su Yun,
"Master Zhang, my Nalan Family has a Seven Illusions Green Spirit Nectar. I believe you have also heard of this medicinal material.
It can greatly enhance soul power. I wonder if this item is enough to invite you to take action?"
Su Yun smiled when he heard Nalan Jie's words.
"The Seven Illusions Green Spirit Nectar is indeed enough."
Hearing Su Yun's words, Nalan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a bit of heartache.
To put it bluntly, he could still suppress the poison now, unlike a few years later when he was on the verge of death. He still felt a bit reluctant to part with this priceless treasure.
"Then I wonder when Master Zhang will start the treatment?"
He was really impatient. Su Yun put down the tea cup in his hand.
"The poison on your body has been attached to your bone marrow for a long time. If it is completely removed all at once, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it.
In my opinion, it's better to divide this treatment into three sessions."
"You've been coming over these past three days. If all goes well, your toxin problem will naturally be resolved after three days," Su Yun said after some contemplation.
"So, should we start the first treatment now?" Nalan Jie asked tentatively.
Su Yun nodded.
The two sat cross-legged, with Su Yun's right hand emitting a blue flame.
Feeling the heat behind him, Nalan Jie broke into a cold sweat.
Such a terrifying flame, if not controlled effectively, would probably turn him into ashes in moments.
At this moment, Su Yun's voice came from behind, reminding him, "You must endure it. The temperature of my fire must be noticeable to the old master. Be patient. The risk of the fire entering your body is not small. If you're not careful, well, you may not even have time to settle your affairs."
Su Yun's tone was calm, but his words sent shivers down Nalan Jie's spine.
Nalan Jie took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety. "Alright. Master Zhang, please proceed."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun's right hand enveloped in the blue flame pressed onto Nalan Jie's back.
Hmm!
The terrifying temperature spread over Nalan Jie's body, unabated, even with Su Yun's deliberate control. Despite enduring the pain, it was still unbearable for Nalan Jie.
Nalan Jie gritted his teeth, enduring the pain silently as the blue flame ravaged his body.
Behind him, Su Yun's spiritual power focused inside Nalan Jie's body.
The risk of the fire entering his body was no joke. If not controlled properly, Nalan Jie might die on the spot, which was not what Su Yun intended.
Although the pain Nalan Jie endured at this moment was not as intense as when Su Yun refined the blue flame, it still amounted to quite a bit.
This old guy, aside from everything else, had quite a strong will. The whole process lasted for an hour, during which he gritted his teeth and remained motionless, not making a sound.
With a thought, Su Yun's right hand's blue fire disappeared, and he withdrew his spiritual power.
As Su Yun retracted the blue flame, Nalan Jie could bear it no longer and collapsed to the ground, completely losing his composure.
Nalan Jie felt relieved as his body relaxed, and about thirty percent of the toxin had been removed.
But the pain was truly unbearable, no wonder it had to be treated in three sessions.
And his body was quite weak.
"How do you feel?" Su Yun asked.
Struggling, Nalan Jie got up from the ground and thanked Su Yun.
"I feel much better. Master Zhang is truly a sixth-grade alchemist. I will bring the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva tomorrow."
Su Yun nodded upon hearing this.
He liked dealing with straightforward people like him.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Nalan Jie took his leave.
Hai Boding, who had been guarding the two, spoke up.
"The Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva? Is that your goal?"
After living in the Stone Desert for decades, he was not aware of the Nalan family obtaining the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva.
Su Yun stretched lazily.
"Yes, this thing's effect on spiritual power is unimaginable. If I get my hands on it, my spiritual power will skyrocket."
Hearing this, Hai Boding nodded.
Although he wasn't an alchemist, he understood the importance of spiritual power to alchemists.
The next day, Nalan Jie delivered the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva as agreed.
Su Yun looked at the substance in his hand, wearing a satisfied smile.
Once he refined this, his spiritual power would ascend to the realm of Perfection. With just spiritual power alone, he would be able to contend with Peak Dou Kings.
