Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his face still expressionless. Without saying any more nonsense, he slowly walked into the gate and then disappeared from the somewhat stunned sight of everyone.
After entering the gate, a pretty maid hurried out from the side, said a few words softly to Xiao Yan, and then led the way in front.
Following the maid at a leisurely pace, Xiao Yan's eyes casually swept across the luxurious mansion. There were tall and majestic buildings everywhere. Putting aside other things, the Nalan family's wealth and status were at least enough.
Walking on the path paved with green gravel, as Xiao Yan got deeper into the Nalan family's home, he could detect more hidden gazes and sharp cold rays in his soul perception.
He raised his head inadvertently and his eyes casually swept across a corner. Under the dark shadow, hidden in the darkness, there was a sharp arrow painted black, quietly watching the people coming into the mansion. Any slight movement would surely bring about a ruthless attack.
"The defense is really strong."
Xiao Yan did not show his expression, but he thought to himself, he turned his gaze and saw a luxurious hall. Through the half-open door, he vaguely saw many people standing inside.
Slowly walking into the hall, some low whispering sounds could be heard. Gently pushing open the door, the low whispers in the hall stopped abruptly, and then everyone's eyes turned towards the door. When everyone glanced at Xiao Yan, a look of surprise flashed in their pupils.
"Who is this person and how is he qualified to enter here?"
Someone secretly thought.
Xiao Yan's eyes slowly swept across the hall. In the spacious hall, there were a dozen alchemists wearing robes of the same color. On their chests, they wore the badges of third-grade alchemists. However, most of these third-grade alchemists were middle-aged, and two of them even had gray hair.
Ignoring these gazes, Xiao Yan slowly looked around. Next to the main seat, a pretty woman in a moon-white robe was standing there.
"Nalan Yanran."
Xiao Yan exhaled deeply, a violent emotion arose in his heart, but he suppressed it very well. His hands hidden under his sleeves were now clenched into fists, and the joints were a little white.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the main seat. He turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan and was slightly startled when he saw that he was not wearing the special badge for alchemists. But he quickly reacted, stood up, bowed and smiled:
"My brother, my name is Nalan Su. What's your name?"
Nalan Su, Nalan Yanran's biological father, listened to his self-introduction and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face, showing a somewhat good-natured temperament. Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer secretly.
Suppressing his violent emotions, he showed a hearty smile and said:
"Haha, just call me Rock Owl."
"I don't know what level of alchemist Brother Yanxiao is."
Nalan Su thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember a person named Yanxiao, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, I am not talented, only the fourth rank."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan stretched out a finger again, and as if performing a performance, a wisp of faint purple flame appeared on it again.
"Master Yanxiao, please take a seat."
Upon seeing this, Nalan Su nodded suddenly and made a gesture of invitation.
Xiao Yan also walked to the last seat amidst the strange and envious gazes, and then sat down leisurely.
The gray-haired alchemy masters also greeted Xiao Yan quite solemnly. Xiao Yan clasped his fists and casually returned the greetings.
After the pleasantries, we got down to business.
"Everyone who has come here must be aware of the problem my Nalan family is facing now. My father was previously poisoned by the notorious branding poison, and now the poison has erupted and he can no longer bear it."
"You are all well-known alchemists in the empire. I invited you here this time because I want you to use your skills to diagnose this old man."
"Let's not waste any more time. As long as you can cure the old man, the Nalan family will definitely not let you down in terms of reward!"
After saying that, Nalan Su waved his hand, pointed to a side door, and said:
"The old man is there now, please give it a try."
Xiao Yan crossed his legs leisurely and even took a sip of the teacup, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The alchemy masters looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, an old man with gray hair stood up with a smile and bowed:
"Then let me try it first."
After saying that, he walked into the side room.
Ten minutes later, the old man came out with an embarrassed look on his face, shaking his head, and said regretfully:
"I'm sorry, Patriarch Nalan, the branding poison is too stubborn. The dozen or so detoxifying pills I prepared were all ineffective."
Hearing the old man's words, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran beside him both sighed in disappointment, looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
After the old man, a dozen alchemists entered the side room one after another. However, after more than ten minutes, they all walked out with embarrassment on their faces. It was obvious that they were helpless against the poison.
As one alchemist after another failed, the disappointment on Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran's faces grew more and more intense.
In the hall, the dozen or so third-grade alchemists no longer had the arrogance they had before, and remained silent with embarrassed faces.
"Brother Yanxiao, don't you want to go in and give it a try?"
Nalan Su broke the silence, looked at the leisurely Xiao Yan, and spoke in a deep voice.
The other party is the highest-grade alchemist who came today. Now that all the third-grade alchemists have been wiped out, he can only place his hopes on the other party.
Xiao Yan drank the tea slowly and said:
"I came here today because I am somewhat confident. You don't have to worry," Xiao Yan said as he put down the teacup and slowly walked into the side room.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yan pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing this scene, the disappointment on Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran's faces became even more intense.
He forced a smile and said:
"Thank you very much, everyone. It seems that the old man is indeed destined to have this disaster. Although he failed, I will still ask the butler to give you a generous reward later."
Hearing the euphemistic words of expelling the visitor, everyone smiled bitterly, shook their heads, and stood up to leave. In this atmosphere, they really didn't have the face to collect the reward.
"I didn't say it can't be cured," Xiao Yan said calmly, interrupting the actions of everyone in the hall. Amid the shock of the crowd and the shocked looks of the Nalan father and daughter, he stared at the father and daughter and said:
"I can cure the poison, but we need to discuss the reward!"
Chapter 117 Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva Obtained
Looking at the black-robed alchemist standing in the center of the hall, everyone in the hall had a look of shock and astonishment on their faces. The few third-grade alchemists who were somewhat helpless before suddenly had expressions of doubt on their faces. It was not that they did not believe what Xiao Yan said, but they had personally seen the branding poison and knew how difficult this toxin was. In their opinion, even a fourth-grade alchemist would probably be helpless against it.
Nalan Su stared at Xiao Yan closely, then turned to look at Nalan Yanran. Both of them saw a look of surprise and excitement in each other's eyes. It was obvious that the other party's behavior had exceeded their expectations.
However, there were so many third-rank alchemy masters who had failed before, and Xiao Yan did not wear the exclusive badge of the Alchemist Union to prove his identity and status.
Although he demonstrated his skills in fire, he did not show any other ability in alchemy.
The most important thing is that Nalan Su had never heard of a fourth-grade alchemist named Yan Xiao. Although this made him excited, he still doubted the other party.
"Mr. Yanxiao, can you really remove the poison and save the old man?"
Nalan Su suddenly asked back with a look of hope in his eyes. Although there was a high possibility that the other party was a liar, he would not give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope to save old man Nalan.
"Since I said so, I must be sure of it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be bringing shame upon myself?"
Xiao Yan replied calmly, still with that fake smile on his face.
"Please interpret it for the old man first. As for the reward, my Nalan family will never be stingy."
Nalan Su immediately responded with a solemn expression.
Although the other alchemists did not speak, they also had expectant looks on their faces. If this place was not the Nalan family, they would even want to request to watch.
After all, being able to see the techniques of higher-level alchemists is far more important to them than a few medicinal herbs.
"Well, if I don't show my true ability, I'm afraid that Patriarch Nalan won't trust me. Well, just follow me in."
Xiao Yan said calmly, then glanced at the other alchemists, and in their expectant eyes, he said:
“I don’t want to be bothered by other people.”
Nalan Su nodded and replied:
"That's natural."
Afterwards, he called over the butler and told him to entertain the many alchemists. Then he led the way to open the door for Xiao Yan, and Nalan Yanran followed closely behind.
"please!"
Xiao Yan happily walked into the side room. After watching the three people's backs disappear into the side room, the alchemists sitting there could only sigh and reveal a look of regret.
Slowly approaching the side room, a faint soft light shone out. Xiao Yan gently pushed open the door. The space inside the room was quite large. In the center, there was a big bed. An old man with a dry face was lying on it. Around the bed, several maids were busy. Hearing the sound of the door, they cast their eyes over and immediately began to carefully take care of the unconscious old man again.
Slowly approaching the big bed, Xiao Yan glanced across the bed and found that the old man's face was faintly tinged with black. There was even a hint of death on his quietly sleeping face.
“It’s really serious.”
Xiao Yan said in a low voice, now, the old man lying on the bed, I am afraid that half of his foot has already stepped completely into the secretion.
"Of course. With something like branding poison, even a Douhuang strongman can suffer heavy losses if he is not careful."
Nalan Su looked at the old man on the bed, sighed and shook his head, then spoke carefully:
"Brother Yanxiao, look"
"Can you help detoxify the old man now?"
Nalan Yanran on the side nodded slightly, her bright eyes fixed on the middle-aged man in black robe beside her, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Hehe, although the branding poison is terrible, it is nothing to me," Xiao Yan said casually, using his soul to explore the situation inside the old man's body.
"The poison has now penetrated three-tenths of the flesh. It cannot be removed quickly in one go. We need to do it slowly," Xiao Yan said as a pen and paper appeared in his hand and he began to write.
The names of medicinal herbs appeared in his writing, many of which were precious. If they were purchased with gold coins, they would probably be piled up into a small mountain.
Then, he handed the prescription in his hand to Nalan Su and said:
"I need these things to refine the elixir. I believe these medicinal materials are nothing to Naranja."
Nalan Su took the prescription and his pupils constricted slightly. He saw that the white paper was filled with densely packed medicinal herbs, half of which he did not recognize. You can imagine how precious they were.
With the financial resources of the Nalan family, they can probably only barely afford it.
Although he had great doubts about Xiao Yan, looking at the old man lying on the bed, his life or death unknown, Nalan Su's eyes condensed and he said:
"Yanran, you stay with Mr. Yan. Your father will be back soon."
A trace of surprise flashed across Nalan Yanran's face, but she concealed it very smoothly. She nodded and replied:
"Ah."
The actions of Nalan and his daughter did not cause any ripples in Xiao Yan's heart. He even felt a little regretful and wanted to laugh.
Did I write too little just now?
The branding poison was naturally nothing to Xiao Yan. The first time he saw Nalan Jie, he knew how to deal with it through observation, smell, questioning and palpation.
