Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 420 Evolution of the Three Paths Poison Gu

In fact, at this moment, even if Xiao Yan does nothing, the fire spirits are like his clones, improving his strength while he cultivates.

Therefore, although Xiao Yan did not have the physique of Medusa or Little Fairy Doctor who leveled up extremely quickly, nor did he have the thick bloodline of Dou Di like Xun'er.

However, with the presence of a group of fire spirits now, the speed of cultivation will surely undergo rapid and dramatic changes.

Moreover, with the increase in the number of fire spirits, Xiao Yan's cultivation speed will increase again.

As luck would have it, a highly ranked Strange Flame was waiting for Xiao Yan in the Black Corner Region.

Arriving at the street where the Nalan family lived, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that compared to the bustling Jia Ma Holy City, this place was extremely deserted, as if he were in another world.

Xiao Lin had just been here once, so the Nalan family's steward naturally had a deep impression of him. He stood at the door, trembling with fear, thinking to himself: Could it be that he has changed his mind and is here to seek revenge?

"Old Master Xiao, what's going on?" the old butler asked boldly.

"Do you still want your family to come back to life?" Xiao Lin said irritably to the tactless servant.

The old steward's eyes darted around, and he quickly led the way into the mansion.

After walking along several paths paved with blue pebbles, Xiao Lin and his companion arrived at a spacious room.

Several figures huddled together, whispering amongst themselves. From their clothing, Xiao Yan could easily tell that they were several first or second-grade alchemists.

Nalan Jie's branding poison worsened due to the lack of effective treatment.

However, the Nalan family, having suffered a great loss due to their powerful backing of the Yunlan Sect and having offended the rising Xiao family, naturally lacks the ability to hire a good alchemist.

We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate; we might as well try anything.

"Old Master Xiao?" Even Nalan Su was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Lin return.

Nalan Yanran, who had just returned from the Yunlan Sect, spotted the person behind Xiao Lin with sharp eyes and stood there stunned: "Xiao Yan!"

Following Nalan Yanran's gaze, Nalan Su sighed inwardly. This man, who should have been his son-in-law, was now frighteningly outstanding.

Glancing at Nalan Jie, who was lying on the bed like a dead tree, Xiao Lin said dismissively, "It's just a mere branding poison. My grandson can remove it with a flick of his finger."

Several alchemists around suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Xiao family is indeed at the height of its power in the Jia Ma Empire, but detoxification is not a matter of brute force. Moreover, Nalan Jie's body has been tormented by the branding poison for many years and simply cannot withstand the devastation of powerful battle qi.

To claim that a snap of the fingers could solve the problem under such circumstances is simply too arrogant.

Of course, for an alchemist to come to the Nalan family under the current circumstances, they must possess overwhelming strength and have some issues with their situational judgment.

Nalan Yanran gasped. This man was Xiao Yan's grandfather. Wasn't he dead?

Nalan Su patted his daughter's shoulder hard and rolled his eyes at her: Is the Xiao family a small family?

Looking back now, it was all just fake news.

Nodding to Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan walked to the bedside and looked at Nalan Jie's dark face, which was filled with deathly aura. Just as his grandfather had said, Nalan Jie could die at any moment.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to make a move, Nalan Su and the others immediately held their breath and focused their attention.

The group of alchemists couldn't help but think of the relationship between the Xiao family and the Nalan family, and they couldn't help but mourn for Nalan Jie.

It was obvious that they believed Xiao Lin was in such a hurry to send his grandson that he wanted to vent his anger before Nalan Jie died.

Nalan Jie is likely to suffer a lot of torment from now on...

Nalan Su had long been prepared to try anything, thinking that it didn't really matter who came.

Having taken in Nalan Jie's condition, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a wisp of green light instantly entered Nalan Jie's body.

If Yunshan were here, he would surely recognize that green light as the terrifying poisonous Gu that had entered his body.

The Three Paths Poison Gu is a highly condensed form of Netherworld Poison Fire. After years of cultivation and development by Xiao Yan, it has become extremely powerful, second only to the Poison Gu cultivated by Little Fairy Doctor with the Calamity Poison Body.

With the characteristics of Netherworld Poison Fire, the Three Paths Poison Gu is naturally stronger by consuming poison.

Upon entering Nalan Jie's body, the Three Paths Poison Gu immediately began absorbing the dark, branding poison on Nalan Jie's meridians.

The toxicity of this branding poison is just like its name; it leaves a deep imprint on the body of the person who is affected.

Nalan Jie had been poisoned for many years and had tried to suppress it with his own fighting spirit, but this only strengthened the poison, causing it to cling tightly to his meridians and bones.

Fortunately, his strength wasn't too bad, otherwise he would have been corroded to death by the poison long ago.

However, this cultivated toxin is very suitable as nourishment for the Three Paths Poison Gu.

All the onlookers saw was a faint green light flashing across Nalan Jie's body, and Nalan Jie's charcoal-black body slowly returned to normal skin color.

Even Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised by this. He had only intended to intimidate these people and had no idea how strong Xiao Yan's abilities were.

Unexpectedly, it actually had such ability; even the branding poison that he thought would be very troublesome was neutralized just like that.

After a cup of tea, the Three Paths Poison Gu flew out from between Nalan Jie's eyebrows and landed in Xiao Yan's palm.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. Others might not have noticed anything amiss, but he clearly felt that his Three Paths Poison Gu was different.

Since he doesn't possess the Calamity Poison Body and hasn't cultivated any special techniques, Xiao Yan is slightly inferior to Little Fairy Doctor in the art of using poison, even though he has the Three Paths Poison Gu techniques.

Specifically, when targeting a soul, Xiao Yan needs to be extremely focused in order to achieve the same level of effortless attack as Little Fairy Doctor.

However, after absorbing Nalan Jie's branding poison, his Three Paths Poison Gu can easily pose a fatal threat to the soul.

Furthermore, the toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Fire has been significantly enhanced.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan understood the key point.

Branding poison is a toxin produced by the branding iron venomous python. It is extremely rare and unique. Even the Izumo Empire, which is known for its poisons, does not have a similar potent venom.

If such a thing existed, the Izumo Empire would have already unified the surrounding empires with a deadly poison that horrified many powerful figures, similar to a "branding poison."

This alone demonstrates the rarity of branding poison.

The branding poison, which leaves a mark on the body and cannot be removed by ordinary means, has caused the Three Paths Poison Gu to evolve once again, making Qi Ping a Little Fairy Doctor with the Calamity Poison Body.

This unexpected gain made Xiao Yan feel that the trip was not bad.

"Are you done?" Nalan Yanran asked, her eyes slightly red.
