Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 209 Xiao Yan: Brother Bai! Odd changes, even remains the same!

"Mr. Bai, can I stay? I promise I won't disturb your treatment!"

Inside a guest room in the Mittel family compound, Nalan Yanran looked at the black-robed youth who was telling them to leave, and said with a pleading gaze.

"Go ahead and wait outside!" Xiao Bai pointed to the door, his face calm and unwavering.

Seeing this, Nalan Su knew he couldn't stay, so he sighed softly, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, Yanran, let's listen to Mr. Bai!"

Nalan Yanran had no choice but to follow her out. Just before leaving, she turned back to look at the aged figure lying on the bed, her eyes showing a hint of worry.

When he looked away, he saw the masked man standing motionless to the side and couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Mr. Bai, doesn't he need to go out?"

Before Xiao Bai could speak, Xiao Yan puffed out his chest, and the alchemist badge on his chest gleamed brightly in the light streaming in through the window.

"!" Nalan Yanran.

Looking at the proud, imposing rooster beside him, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, shook his head, and said with a laugh, "He's my assistant!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, sir!"

Nalan Yanran clasped her hands in a salute, stood up, gave a barely perceptible glare to the masked youth, turned and closed the door behind her before leaving.

"Heh, you little punk, you think you can get the same treatment as me? Dream on!"

Seeing Bai Ge wave his hand to set up a soul barrier, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright! Honorable second-grade alchemist, let's begin!"

Xiao Bai walked to a chair and sat down, glancing at a proud-looking young man, and said with a teasing smile.

"Brother Bai, do you really want me to do this?"

Xiao Yan's proud face immediately fell, and he swallowed nervously, saying:

"The entry of a strange fire into the body is extremely dangerous, no joke. If I'm not careful..."

"There are no ifs!" Xiao Bai waved his hand to interrupt him, saying bluntly:

"If you kill someone, you'd better put away that alchemist badge from now on—it's embarrassing!"

"!" Xiao Yan.

A moment of silence.

Just as Xiao Bai thought the boy was struggling internally and was considering offering some words of encouragement, a cautious voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Brother Bai, you're not jealous of us because you don't have a badge, are you?"

Xiao Bai was instantly speechless, and his fists hardened!

Damn it, I shouldn't have thought the best of this kid. I was even struggling with my own thoughts. What the hell was he struggling with?

"A gentleman uses words, not fists!" Seeing the increasingly dark face, Xiao Yan shuddered, shouted, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"Haha, Brother Bai, I was just kidding. I was just a little nervous! I'm much better now, I'll start right away!"

As he spoke, he darted to the edge of the bed like a big black rat.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he became serious, but when he caught a glimpse of a handsome face with dark circles under his eyes, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

Q: My apprentice likes to teeter on the edge of disaster, what should I do? It's urgent!

"Brother Bai, we don't need to think about doing it in several sessions. Even if you drain me dry, you still won't be able to cure him in one go!"

After checking on Nalan Jie's condition, Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as his life is saved, that's enough! The rest can be dealt with after the trip to Yunlan Sect!"

Xiao Bai sat in the chair and said casually.

"Forget it! Let's deal with it before then. I don't want to be involved with his family again after the three-year period is over!" Xiao Yan shook his head, a cluster of blue flames swirling around his fingertips.

As he spoke, he glanced at the old man on the bed with a complicated expression. The old man was said to have been a close friend of his grandfather back then.

After a moment, his expression hardened, and he tapped his finger lightly.

"puff!"

Under Xiao Yan's control, the cyan flames entered the old man's body.

The old man, who had been completely unconscious on the bed, suddenly trembled.

Xiao Yan ignored this, keeping his eyes half-closed, and carefully controlled the strange fire, letting it flow through the old man's withered body.

"what!"

At one moment, the old man suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and let out a hoarse roar.

A fierce aura suddenly erupted and spread from his body.

Xiao Yan was the first to be hit, his flames erratic and almost out of control, which made the old man on the bed even more uncomfortable, and his roars became even more intense.

"Calm down, I'm doing this for you!!"

Xiao Yan's voice faltered, and his roar abruptly ceased. In an instant, the room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"You talk too much!"

Hearing the faint voice and looking up at the shadow cast overhead, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

This guy is gentle with his own people, but he's always blunt and brutal with strangers!

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan, calmly withdrew his finger from the old man's brow, and slowly walked back.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, those two outside are getting really anxious!"

"!" Xiao Yan.

Why are you rushing me? If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself? Besides, what business is it of his if those two are anxious?

Withdrawing his angry but unspoken gaze from the black-robed figure, Xiao Yan glanced at Nalan Jie, who was covered in sweat, shook his head with pity, and continued to expel the poison.

The room fell silent, and time slowly passed. Half an hour later...

"call"

Xiao Yan let out a long breath, his whole body relaxing. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed, "Finally done!"

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Bai and said softly:

"Brother Bai, he should be fine with normal actions. The strange fire energy in this room is your responsibility!"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, extended one hand, and clenched his long, strong fingers in the air. The intense heat that had filled the room instantly dissipated.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the previously dry air began to become moist, filled with a fresh scent after the rain.

"The essence of wood, the essence of water?"

Breathing in this air, Xiao Yan felt a surge of comfort throughout his body. In a moment of sudden inspiration, he looked up in astonishment at Xiao Bai.

His gaze swept up and down, and after a moment, he hesitated, cautiously probing:

"Brother Bai, do you know anything about cultivating immortality?"

As she spoke, her eyes gleamed with anticipation, a hint of excitement in her heart. She stared intently at Xiao Bai's face, as if trying to ascertain something.

Xiao Bai's eyes were blank. He tilted his head slightly and asked in a puzzled tone:

"Cultivating immortality? What is cultivating immortality?"

Only a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of his eye.

Goodness, this kid is planning to claim him as a fellow townsman!

"It's nothing!"

Seeing his blank expression, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with deep disappointment, and he waved his hand dejectedly.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, cursing himself for being completely out of his mind.

His experience is already amazing enough, how could a second one happen to appear in this world, and just happen to appear in the Xiao family!

"You're tired! Go and rest over there! Leave the rest to me!"

Xiao Bai shook his head secretly, walked to the bedside, patted his shoulder, and said gently.

"I am indeed a bit tired, so you're on the left!" Xiao Yan stood up, looking at Xiao Bai who was preparing to wake Nalan Jie, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Bai! Odd changes, even remains the same!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

He turned around, crossed his arms, stroked his chin, and looked Xiao Yan up and down with a gaze that seemed to say he was looking at an idiot, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What do you mean by 'change' or 'change'? Why are you acting all eccentric after you cured someone of poison? Does this branding poison affect their sanity?"

Xiao Yan kept a close eye on Xiao Bai's every move, but still couldn't find anything unusual. His eyes darkened, and he completely gave up hope.

He waved his hand, walked to the chair, his steps slightly lonely, and said dejectedly, "It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired!"

"call"

Looking at the black-clad figure from behind, Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

That was incredibly dangerous! I never expected this kid to be so unsportsmanlike and launch a sneak attack!

The next sentence... I almost blurted it out just now!

If you blurt out a single word unconsciously, no matter how much you deny it, this guy will definitely doubt it for the rest of his life!

"Teacher, do you think there really is someone on this Dou Qi Continent who can master so many attributes and cultivate them to the level of Brother Bai?"

Xiao Yan sat in the chair, muttering to himself, his gaze fixed on the black robe, as memories of the past surfaced in his mind.

If it weren't for that sudden flash of inspiration, I might not have cared, but once the seed of doubt was planted, it was like it had taken root in my heart.

In this world, although we have fathers, brothers, and family, how can we completely forget the memories of our past lives?

The reason I didn't mention it in the past was because the events were too bizarre, and there was no one to tell, so I could only keep it buried deep in my heart.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But now he suddenly realizes that he might not be so lonely, and the suspect is his best friend. How could he not be excited?

If there really is a second person who has traveled through time, he hopes that person is Brother Bai!

Only then will he feel comfortable and dare to reveal the secrets buried deep in his heart.

"Xiao Yanzi, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you already know about that kid's affair? What are you doubting?"

"This world is vast. I believe that even a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) could not be omniscient and omnipotent, and could not know all the secrets of the world!"

"The Dou Qi Continent has been passed down for countless years, producing numerous geniuses. The number of Dou Di powerhouses born there, as far as I know, is more than a handful. It's not surprising that Xiao Bai has his own fortuitous encounters!"

On the other side, feeling the gaze behind him, Xiao Bai secretly rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention.

Recognizing fellow townsmen?

When he has the chance to become invincible in the world, that will be more likely!

But now, who knows if there's a pair of eyes watching us from above? It's impossible!

Thoughts raced through his mind, but they didn't affect his actions. After touching Nalan Jie's brow...

A moment later, a pair of slightly cloudy eyes opened, a hint of confusion flashing across them, before their gaze gradually focused, and a hoarse voice rang out.

"Young man, who are you?"

"Your savior!"

Seeing that he had woken up, Xiao Bai stood up and said calmly, "Now feel your whole body. Does it feel less uncomfortable than before?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie closed his eyes, carefully sensing for a moment, then suddenly opened them, saying in disbelief:

"Has the surge of toxins within my body decreased?"

"Don't be too happy yet. You're severely poisoned and will need several more treatments to completely remove the toxins!"

"Can this branding poison really be completely removed?" Nalan Jie asked with delight, ignoring the meaning behind Xiao Bai's words and focusing on the last sentence.

"good!"

"Haha, very good, very good! Young man, your medical skills are truly miraculous! You actually possess such abilities!"

Nalan Jie burst into laughter, looking at Xiao Bai with excitement, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young brother!"

Not far away, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Bai opened the door.

Two figures pacing anxiously in front of the door paused, then turned their heads and were overjoyed to see the elderly man who had woken up on the bed.

"You brat, how dare you come back? If you hadn't been so willful and gone to the Xiao family, I wouldn't have been so angry that I couldn't continue my cultivation and ended up like this today!"

Nalan Jie's eyes widened instantly when he saw the person who entered, glaring at the girl.

"Grandpa." Nalan Yanran blushed slightly when she saw two pairs of eyes looking at her from inside the room. She stamped her foot and scolded, "Look carefully, this is the Mittel family, not the Nalan family!"

"Uh," Nalan Jie then looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and was puzzled for a moment.

Xiao Bai didn't want to get involved in their family affairs; he wasn't some teenager over there clenching his fists.

Looking at Nalan Su, he calmly said:

"You've seen them now, my promise has been fulfilled, now it's your turn!"

"Forehead"

Nalan Su hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Nalan Jie on the bed.

"A promise? What promise?"

Nalan Jie tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion.

"Grandpa, it's like this..."

Nalan Yanran stepped forward and whispered the details to them.

"Did you bring the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva?"

After learning the whole story, Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Su and asked in a deep voice.

Nalan Su nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade flowerpot appeared in his hand, instantly filling the entire room with a calming fragrance.

The leaves are like green jade, and the flowers bloom in seven different colors. In the blink of an eye, the different colors of the flowers flow between the seven flowers, which is quite gorgeous and dreamlike.

"Brother Bai, I, Nalan Jie, always keep my word. Since it was an agreement between you two, this item now belongs to you!"

Nalan Jie lay on the bed, glancing at the plant in the flowerpot with a complex expression.

It was because of picking it that I was poisoned, and I never imagined that I would survive today because of it.

Taking the flowerpot from Nalan Su, Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with joy. With this, his chances of success on this trip to Yunlan Sect were much greater.

"I have other matters to attend to. Please proceed as you wish. If you wish to recover as soon as possible, we can continue tomorrow!"

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Bai put the item into his storage ring, smiled politely, ignored the three members of the Nalan family who seemed hesitant to speak, and walked directly out of the room.

"Uh, this one..."

Seeing Xiao Bai leave, Nalan Jie turned to look at Xiao Yan, about to speak, but unexpectedly, he nodded lightly, got up and left.

"!" The three members of the Nalan family.

If Nalan Jie hadn't known that the toxins in his body had decreased, he would have almost thought he'd been scammed!

On the other side, Xiao Bai had just sat down in the courtyard when Xiao Yan rushed in.

"Brother Bai, what about the benefits you promised?"

Xiao Bai glanced at this guy whose eyes lit up at the mention of cultivation, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and slowly said:

"Why don't you cultivate using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within your body, and then you'll know!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged without saying a word, formed hand seals, and entered a meditative state.

As time passed, Xiao Bai sipped his tea and looked at Xiao Yan, whose face suddenly lit up with joy. He knew that Xiao Yan had discovered the fighting spirit energy contained in the brand poison.

"Wow, as expected of the energy within a Dou Wang expert, it's incredibly rich and powerful. Even a small amount is so vast!"

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his pupils, and his aura suddenly rose.

He stood up, walked to the table and sat down. When he saw Xiao Bai, his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the Battle King?

He's a peak-level Battle King!

"Battle Qi energy contains a person's essence, energy, and spirit. Only through cultivation of one's own techniques can it be transformed into a truly solid foundation. Don't always think about taking shortcuts!"

"Nalan Jie's fighting spirit energy this time is because you have a different kind of fire to refine and decompose it. It's fine for breaking through a minor realm, but if you want to break through a major realm, see if your teacher will teach you a lesson!"

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan with annoyance. Just by looking at the guy's eyes, Xiao Bai knew what he was up to.

This isn't some kind of energy absorption technique!

"Hehe." Xiao Yan, his little secret exposed, awkwardly touched his nose.

Suddenly, the hand that was touching his nose paused, his eyes narrowed, and his expression changed drastically.
