It should be known that Nan Jie was the Grand General of the Empire. The Nan d the Mu , another of the three major s, both held military power and had risen through warfare.
In Xiao Yan's memory, Nan Jie had been a robust and imposing figure, broad-shouldered and strong, his voice resonant and spirited. It was a stark trast to the frail old man lying at death's door before him now.
"Sigh, indeed. Searing Poison is something even ae Dou Emperor wouldn't dare to e into tact with carelessly. For the old master to have endured for so many years has already pushed him to his limits," Nan Su sighed, shaking his head as he followed closely behind. I years, the Nan had searched throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire but failed to find any miraedie to remove the Searing Poison.
He then asked cautiously, "Virtuous nephew, do you see any hope for a cure?"
"Bring me a basin of water. I o draw some of the old master's poisoned blood for examination," Xiao Yan said, his brows kightly.
"Master Gu He once said that using a Heavenly Fme to ehe body and burn away the Searing Poison could detoxify it..." Nan Su said.
Xiao Yan gave a meaningful smile and replied calmly, "It's true that the Searing Poison fears Heavenly Fmes. In theory, using a Heavenly Fme to ehe body to expel and ie the Searing Poison should work. But Gu He doesn't possess a Heavenly Fme himself; he's only read about them in aexts. How could he know the true terror of a Heavenly Fme?
"If I directly use a Heavenly Fme to ehe body and something goes wrong..."
Nan Su was directly stunned. Xiao Yan's expression and tone didn't put Gu He in his eyes at all! He even didn't believe what Gu He said!
"If Senior Nan were in good health, directly using the Heavenly Fme to detoxify him would indeed be feasible. But in his curreremely weakeate, the high temperature of the Heavenly Fme might burn him to death before the poison is expelled."
! ! ! ! ! !
When Xiao Yan had removed the seals for Hai Bodong and Yun Yun, both of them were in good health, with ample Dou Qi and vitality. Moreover, they were both Dou Emperors.
But Nan Jie was barely ging to life. If the Nihility Dev Fme entered his body, he might not withstand the intense heat of the Heavenly Fme before the poison was fully purged, potentially causing him to die on the spot.
Soon, Xiao Yan pleted his analysis of the poison. His time spent with the Little Fairy Doctor had greatly enhanced his uanding of poisons.
Seeing how swiftly the bck fme pletely devoured the Searing Poison, he murmured, "Hmm, this Searing Poison isn't actually that troublesome."
!!!!! The Searing Poison isn't troublesome??!!
Xiao Yan withdrew a small cup of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain from his ste ring and said, "Let's wake the old master first. Drinking this Ice Spirit Cold Spring Fountain provide a certain level of prote."
"Ice Spirit Cold Fountain?! I've heard that it's extremely hard to obtain and worth a fortune." Nan Su stared at the jade cup emitting a white mist. It was ihe Ice Spirit Cold Fountain!
"Well, it's not that hard to obtain. It depends on luck."
Nan Jie's eyes slowly opehrough blurred vision, he made out Xiao Yan's figure and, with great difficulty, said, "Is that you... Little Yan?"
"Long time no see, old master. I'm here to help you remove the Searing Poison. Please drink this Ice Spirit Cold Fountain first; then I'll use my Heavenly Fme to thhly eradicate the poison from your body." Xiao Yahat time was of the essence. He hahe jade cup to Nahout further ado.
Nan Jie gazed at Xiao Yan, but instead of drinking immediately, he sighed and said, "Yanran itted su unfilial act, yet you harbor ne and have e to help detoxify me. I truly feel ashamed before Brother Xiao Lin. I only bme myself for failing in her upbringing."
Xiao Yan patted Nan Jie's shoulder and forted him, "Please don't worry, old master. Before I came to the Jia Ma Sacred City, my father had already told me he didn't take what happened back then to heart. Besides, Yanran has already received her due punishment."
With a sigh, Nan Jie nodded slightly and then draihe Ice Spirit Cold Fountain in one gulp. Instantly, a chill spread throughout his body, causing his clothes to freeze stiff.
"Unan, please have everyoep back a bit. The high temperature of the Heavenly Fme might ighe surroundings. Please be cautious," Xiao Yan said early as he moved to the bedside.
Nan Su asked with a tense expression, "Virtuous nephew, how fident are you of success this time?"
With a fident smile, Xiao Yan pced his hand on Nan Jie's bad decred proudly, "I 't speak for others, but when I take a, I naturally have a 100% success rate."
Boom! A sudden burst of energy shattered the robes on Nan Jie's body into powder, revealing aremely skinny body that resembled a skeleton.
Xiao Yan immediately circuted the Fme Mantra, eling the Nihility Dev Fme through his meridians into his palm. His immensely powerful Spiritual Strength guided the bck fme into Nan Jie's body.
Nan Jie's body suddenly shook. His inally skeletal body actually swelled to twice its size as if infted! His entire skin turned bright red, like that of a boiled shrimp.
"Ah!!!" Nan Jie ched his teeth, but even with his battle-hardened willpower, he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Old master, please grit your teeth and rex your Dou Qi! Don't resist the Heavenly Fme!" Xiao Yan's expressioern. His formidable Spiritual Strength suppressed Nan Jie's instinctive attempt to circute his Dou Qi.
Gradually, Nan Jie ceased his resistand retracted his Dou Qi bato his Qi cye.
The Searing Poison was somewhat different from Hai Bodong's seal. A seal would merely block the meridian nodes arict the flow of Dou Qi. However, the Searing Poison could infiltrate everywhere—whether meridians, internal ans, flesh, bones, or even skin could be tainted by this insidious poison.
Therefore, Xiao Yan o guide the Nihility Dev Fme through Nan Jie's entire body to pletely elimihe poison, leaving no spot untouched as the fme devoured all traces of it.
The terrifying high temperature of the Nihility Dev Fme caused beads of sweat to form on Nan Jie's face. His withered hands ched tightly, blue veins bulging on his arms.
Whoosh!! The entire bed suddenly burst into fmes. One could only imagine how high Nan Jie's body temperature had risen to be able to ighe bedding.
"So this is a Heavenly Fme! What terrifyi!" Nan Su, who was merely at the Dou Spirit realm, couldn't help but feel both shocked and terrified by the intense heat emanating from Nan Jie's body.
The frightening nature of the Heavenly Fme, bined with Xiao Yan's exceptional talent and abilities, left Nan Su full of admiration.
Although Nan Su was an 8-star Dou Spirit close to reag the 9-star stage and could easily defeat someone like Mo g, he felt that he might not necessarily be able to triumph over Xiao Yan, who possessed a Heavenly Fme.
'Sigh, Yanran is likely to humiliate herself again.' Nan Su naturally knew about the three-year duel his daughter had agreed upon with Xiao Yan. But looking at the situation now, unless Nan Yanran had some powerful trump card up her sleeve, she was bound to be defeated once more.
After about twenty minutes, Xiao Yan finally retracted all the bck fmes.
Nan Jie's body defted like a punctured balloon. His pores rapidly released heat, returning his body to its inal state as he gasped for breath.
"Wait until his body temperature returns to normal befiving him water. I will refine a pill to rehydrate aore his physical strength. By tomorrow, he should be able to resume normal activities and diet. If there are no signs of the Searing Poison reappearing after a week, then it has been pletely eradicated," Xiao Yan stood up and quickly instructed the old steward.
Nan Su looked at Xiao Yan, who spoke so matter-of-factly, and asked in amazement, "It's... it's cleared just like that?"
Not only Nan Su, but even Nan Jie was astounded. He ched his fists, feeling the strength of a Dou King c through his body once more! His body had never felt so light and refreshed! It was as if even his old internal injuries had been devoured along with the poison.
"Just a small poison. Twenty minutes is already slow."
