The Strange Flame Rekindles in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 75 The Three Great Families

"Master Guhe has repeatedly mentioned that young man named Nie Feng. Could you tell me about his background?" Nalan Jie asked with a smile.

"He's around fifteen years old. Not only is his talent for cultivation outstanding, but his talent for alchemy is also unparalleled in the world. Even the little princess and my disciple Liu Ling are no match for him; they were defeated by him in alchemy. Guild Master Fa Ma also praises him highly, and it seems he knows Fa Ma. As for his other background, I don't know anything about that," Gu He replied.

"Thank you for informing me, Master Guhe," Nalan Jie said.

"Hehe, no need to be so polite. Now that Old Master Nalan is awake, we should be going too," Gu He said with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't even thanked you for saving our lives yet!" Nalan Jie pleaded.

"No, I've been away from the sect for a long time, and it's time to go back. Besides, I didn't do much, so thank your own granddaughter if you want!" Gu He politely declined.

"Quickly see Mr. Guhe off and prepare some gifts as a token of my gratitude," Nalan Jie instructed his son, Nalan Su.

"I have just recovered and am feeling a bit unwell. I hope Master Guhe will forgive me," Nalan Jie apologized to Guhe.

"Old Master Nalan has just recovered and still needs to rest more. We'll take our leave now!" Gu He instructed.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Guhe!" Nalan Jie said again.

"Master Guhe, please!" Nalan Su said respectfully.

"Sigh! I should have gone to Wutan City to inquire back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this. But that brat from the Xiao family went too far, actually forcing you to write such a humiliating agreement to break off the engagement. He's really audacious. This matter can't be left like this, otherwise how can the Nalan family maintain its standing in the capital?" Nalan Jie sighed after Gu He left, then said angrily.

"Grandpa, this is a matter between Xiao Yan and me, so please don't interfere. I will definitely beat him when we compete again in two years," Nalan Yanran said.

"That kid actually managed to advance from the third level of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe within a year. His talent is terrifying. How could you possibly defeat him!" Although Nalan Jie knew that his granddaughter's cultivation talent was also amazing, it was still somewhat inferior to Xiao Yan's.

Just as Nalan Yanran was about to object, Nalan Jie spoke up again, saying, "Don't worry about this matter; I have my own plans. Let's talk about this guy named Nie Feng! When did such a genius appear in the capital? Even Master Guhe praised him highly."

"This guy named Nie Feng must have only recently arrived in the capital, otherwise there would have been plenty of news about him before. His talent in both cultivation and alchemy is indeed the highest I've ever seen among his peers, and Elder Guhe's assessment is absolutely correct." Nalan Yanran shared her thoughts with Nalan Jie.

"Such an outstanding person, why didn't you invite him to visit our Nalan family? It wouldn't be good if other families got ahead of him," Nalan Jie said with some regret.

"Grandpa, please rest assured on this point. He was able to politely refuse the attempts of the three top powers in the Jia Ma Empire to win him over. The other two families can't possibly win him over," Nalan Yanran said with a hint of disdain.

"How could he be so arrogant?" Nalan Jie was somewhat surprised.

"That's because he really has the right to be arrogant. Can you believe that the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, would actually carry him away?" Nalan Yanran was also very shocked when she saw this scene before she left. What kind of status does Fa Ma have that he would lower himself to carry someone like that?

"What? You're saying that Fa Ma left behind him?" Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Yanran in shock.

"That's right. Now Grandpa should know how extraordinary he is! Although I suspected he was Xiao Yan before because he does have similarities to Xiao Yan, I've dismissed that suspicion after this incident. The Xiao family has no connection whatsoever with Fa Ma," Nalan Yanran said confidently.

"Looks like I'll have to pay a visit to that old monster, Fama," Nalan Jie said, stroking his slightly graying beard and squinting his eyes.

"Of course I have to pay him a visit. After all, I used his pill to save you, and I haven't even paid him yet! I also asked him to refine three more pills for me. One is for my grandfather, and the other two are to be given to the old ancestor of the Yunlan Sect. But that person is asking for a lot of money. If it's not something good, he probably won't help me refine them," Nalan Yanran said.

"Hmm, you've really thought this through. It seems you've grown a lot since that incident!" Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Yanran earnestly.

"There's no time to lose. Get everything ready immediately. Take whatever you need from the storeroom. Even if it costs you a fortune, make sure he helps us refine the pills. This concerns the future of the Nalan family and your status in the Yunlan Sect. This annulment of the engagement has severely damaged your standing in the Yunlan Sect, so we must take remedial measures," Nalan Jie instructed.

"But Grandpa, what about your health?" Nalan Yanran said with a worried frown.

"What time is it? Why are you still worrying about this? I'm a Dou Wang powerhouse, after all. I'm not that fragile. Hurry up and prepare! The other two major families have probably already received the news. If we're a step too slow, who knows what will happen!" Nalan Jie urged.

Carrying the prepared reward and medicinal herbs, Nalan Jie didn't delay at all, quickly transforming his battle qi into wings and flying towards Fa Ma's residence. However, halfway there, he spotted two familiar figures ahead and immediately increased his speed, trying to catch up with them.

Of course, the two figures in front also noticed Nalan Jie behind them, and immediately slowed down to wait for Nalan Jie to arrive.

"Hey Mittel Tengshan and Mu Chen, you two are pretty fast!" Nalan Jie flew quickly to their side and said with a smile.

"It's truly a cause for celebration that Old Master Nalan has recovered!" Mittel Tengshan and Mu Chen were shocked to see that the branding poison on Nalan Jie's body had actually been suppressed, and his complexion seemed almost the same as before, and he even looked a few years younger.

"Haha! I'm not that easy to die!" Nalan Jie laughed heartily, in a rather good mood.

"It seems that the pills refined by that young brother named Nie Feng are indeed miraculous!" Mittel Tengshan and Mu Chen exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of surprise.

Nalan Jie's rapid recovery made them even more eager to obtain this miraculous elixir. They had only heard about it before, but now that a real person was standing in front of them, they had no choice but to believe it.

This elixir can increase lifespan, detoxify, and even make people younger; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a magic pill!

"Old Master Nalan has only just recovered. Why is he rushing off instead of resting at home?" Mittel Tengshan asked knowingly.

"Hehe, what are you two going to do again?" Nalan Jie asked back.

"Hahaha! You old fox!" The three of them burst into laughter, secretly cursing each other as old foxes. They then set off again, flying towards Fama's dwelling.
