My meridians were filled with a scorching and powerful force, giving me a feeling that they were about to be torn apart.
Nalan Yanran clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the power flowing through her body.
After an unknown amount of time, Nalan Yanran felt as if she were about to burst into flames, her whole body burning hot, and every part of her body aching slightly.
Fortunately, the pain was still within her tolerance range, and Nalan Yanran silently endured it.
Soon that power flowed through her entire body.
Just then, she heard Nie Yuan's voice in her ear, "Pay attention to the flow of my power. If you want to quickly master the ultimate wind, then memorize it carefully."
good!
Nalan Yanran, who had been feeling a little dizzy, suddenly perked up and wanted to learn this move!
Only by fully mastering the situation can one have a greater chance of winning that three-year agreement.
Nie Yuan guided the flames three times before pulling them out.
If this continues, Nalan Yanran's meridians will exceed their capacity, thus causing injury.
Without Nie Yuan's power to support her, Nalan Yanran's body quickly became empty, and the energy in her dantian surged rapidly, filling every corner of her body.
Faintly, she seemed to hear a "poof" sound coming from inside her body.
"I've broken through!"
Nalan Yanran opened her eyes, her face filled with excitement, and instinctively opened her arms and rushed towards Nie Yuan.
As a result, Nie Yuan blocked it with his strength.
Nalan Yanran was taken aback and noticed that her father and her martial uncle were looking at her with disdain.
She quickly looked herself over and found that her body was covered in a lot of black, sticky stuff and smelled bad. Her pretty face turned red, and she covered her face and ran out of the hall.
Nalan Su waved his hand, stirring up gusts of wind that dispersed the scent.
He stood up solemnly and bowed to Nie Yuan, "Sect Leader Nie, I was rash before."
"Chief Nalan was just worried about Elder Nalan's safety, it's alright."
Nie Yuan waved his hand dismissively, wanting only to fulfill his promise as soon as possible. "Can you take me to see Grandpa Nalan now?"
"No problem."
Nalan Su quickly led the way, walking from the corridor to the backyard, and finally stopped in front of a house filled with a strong smell of medicine.
In the center of the room was a large bed, on which lay an unconscious old man, with several maids waiting by his side.
Upon seeing Nalan Su, they quickly bowed.
"You may leave."
Nalan Su waved his hand.
"Sect Leader Nie, is there anything we need to prepare?"
Nalan Su turned around and asked.
"Need not."
Nie Yuan waved his hand, "Leave the rest to me, you can go out now."
Nalan Su was taken aback.
"When the flames are used to force out the poison, some of it may drift out and mix with the air."
Nie Yuan looked at him.
"Then I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Nie."
Nalan Su suddenly realized what was happening and took the initiative to leave through the door.
Nalan Jie on the bed was now skin and bones, his face ashen, giving off an aura of death.
Nie Yuan stood by the bed, raised his index and middle fingers together, and pointed at Nalan Jie, with blue flames surging from his fingertips.
The moment the flame touched Nalan Jie, the old man's body trembled violently as if electrocuted, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Grandpa, I am Nie Yuan from the Yunlan Sect. I've come to treat you. Don't resist."
Nie Yuan said in a deep voice.
It seemed that upon hearing his words, the sense of resistance that had been there vanished instantly.
The flames then entered Nalan Jie's body.
The soul power attached to the flames revealed the state of Nalan Jie's body to Nie Yuan.
Having previously helped Nalan Yanran with her physical training, he was startled when he saw the old man's internal condition.
Nalan Jie's bones had lost their original color and turned a jet black, and his meridians were covered with toxins.
This demonstrates the depth of the poison's effects.
"Grandpa, it will hurt a lot right now, so bear with it and don't let Yanran's good intentions go to waste," Nie Yuan instructed before starting.
The temperature of the flames gradually increased, corroding Nalan Jie's body and bones.
Wisps of black smoke slowly rose.
Seeing this, Nie Yuan frowned.
The poison gas had been in contact with Nalan Jie for too long, and there was already some fusion. If it were to be removed directly, it would not only take a long time, but it would also affect his own strength.
Nie Yuan didn't want to waste days and nights with Nalan Jie.
He changed his two fingers into his palm, and the flames intensified. The intense heat startled even Nalan Su outside the door, who instinctively stepped back and created distance.
But then a look of worry appeared on his face, and Nalan Su stared anxiously at the door.
On the bed, Nalan Jie's body trembled violently, his mouth opened, and he made a hoarse sound.
Nie Yuan ignored him, and the flames rapidly coursed through his body. Wisps of black energy were enveloped by the flames and then condensed in Nalan Jie's dantian.
Gradually, a vortex of alternating blue and black hues began to take shape, emanating a faint suction force.
"call..."
Retracting his hand, Nie Yuan observed Nalan Jie's condition, noting that the black energy around his body was slowly gathering towards his dantian.
He planted a seal inside Nalan Jie's body, which can slowly wear down the branding poison. It may take several months, but Nalan Jie's fighting spirit will not be wasted at all.
After being burned by flames, the poison will be removed, and then it will be returned to him.
Nie Yuan turned and left.
Nalan Su hurriedly stepped forward, "Sect Leader Nie, has it been resolved?"
"Yes, the toxins are under control, but since Old Master Nalan has suffered from the brand poison for a long time, it is expected to take several months to completely remove it."
Nie Yuan replied.
"Thank you so much, Sect Leader Nie, you saved our Nalan family."
Nalan Su immediately prepared to kneel down before Nie Yuan.
For the Nalan family, Nalan Jie's life and safety were of utmost importance.
"No need for that, Chief Nalan."
Nie Yuan stopped him and then left the Nalan family.
"Another promise fulfilled. Next, after obtaining the identity of an alchemist, I will go to the desert to find Medusa, and then go to Little Fairy Doctor to collect the last reward."
Walking down the street, Nie Yuan pondered his next move. As the renowned Gun King of Jia Ma, if he didn't have a gun in his hand, would he still be considered the Gun King?
The streets were bustling with people, likely due to the upcoming Alchemist Conference, which had drawn more people to the capital.
"Sigh, I don't know what the Snake People are up to. They've been launching attacks frequently lately. I almost died on my way to the capital."
"You encountered them too? Me too. I specifically chose a safe route before setting off, but I never expected that the snake people would actually come out of the desert and dare to ambush between two cities."
"A great battle is likely to follow. I heard that Queen Medusa of the Snake People has broken through to the Dou Zong level. The Snake People and the Gama Empire have had conflicts before, and this time it will definitely ignite a conflict."
Upon returning to his residence in the capital from the Nalan family home, Nie Yuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, having heard news about snake people more than once.
"We must find a way to stop it. The three empires in the vicinity have always been eyeing the Gama Empire. If the snake people clash with the empire, the Yunlan Sect will not be able to face the three sects joining forces. Moreover, the Yunlan Sect will also suffer heavy losses in that case."
Nie Yuan felt a heaviness on his shoulders. If it weren't for his intervention, Medusa wouldn't have been able to become a Dou Zong so easily. Perhaps the Snake People and the Empire had conflicts, but it shouldn't have escalated so quickly.
...
at the same time.
As they entered the empire, two figures looked up, their gazes carrying different expressions, staring at the words on the city wall.
Where do you plan to go next?
After withdrawing his gaze, Hai Bodong asked the young man beside him.
"Mitel Auction House"
Xiao Yan answered, and then took a step.
Hai Bodong quickly followed, "Did that explosion have a big impact on you? Was your soul severely wounded?"
I guess so.
Xiao Yan didn't turn his head, but kept walking forward with a serious look in his eyes.
