" for a week is merely a precaution in case the Searing Poison has any unknown properties. It's just to be careful. If the old master feels fine, he get out of bed and walk around now."

  "Remember to wait until your body cools down before drinking water. Drinking water now would be like drinking boiling water. It's only because you still have the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain in your body that you don't feel the high temperature," Xiao Yan expined, sounding like an experienced and knowledgeable divine physi.

  Upon hearing this, Naually got out of bed and took a few steps. That feeling of lightness brought tears to his eyes. He hadn't felt like this in years.

  "Father, how do you feel?" Nan Su asked hurriedly.

  "Great, absolutely great. I feel more rexed than ever," Nan Jie said with a smile on his face as he sensed his body's dition.

  Then he looked gratefully at Xiao Yan, who was standing calmly nearby. He said with relief, "Little Yan, I'm just a rough old man who doesn't uand too much about etiquette or formalities. Our Nan ce publicly decred that anyone who could cure the Searing Poison would be given a satisfactory reward."

  Before Xiao Yan could dee, Nan Su patted his shoulder and said, "Virtuous nephew, please don't refuse. The matter with Yanran back then caused our to lose credibility. This time, let us fulfill our promise."

  "You need medial ingredients for alchemy, don't you? Although our Nan isn't an alchemist , we do have a colle of preedial ingredients and heavenly treasures. Among them are heavenly treasures that increase Spiritual Strength. You alchemists really need such things, right?"

  Xiao Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing that there were heavenly treasures capable of increasing Spiritual Strength. Such treasures were extremely rare and held immense value for alchemists.

  After all, cultivatiohods for Spiritual Strength had been lost on the Dou Qi ti. The only way for alchemists to increase their Spiritual Strength was through medial pills and heavenly treasures.

  Heavenly treasures that could increase Spiritual Strength were ily difficult to grow in the first pce. Coupled with the fact that all alchemists peted fiercely for them, they became even harder to obtain on the market.

  Typically, heavenly treasures that could increase Spiritual Strength were valuable enough to be aued at the Di css aus of the Miteer Au House.

  Xiao Yan followed Nan Su as they slowly walked out of the room. Nan Su said, "Virtuous nephew, why don't you stay at our mansion for the few days? Your old room is still avaible."

  Just as Xiao Yan was about to dee politely, he saw Nan Yanran gracefully hurrying over from a distance.

  She had likely heard of Xiao Yan's arrival at the mansion and had rushed over in a hurry.

  "Xiao Yan!"

  "What's the matter?"

  Nan Yanran stopped in front of Xiao Yan, gritted her teeth, and said with a serious expression, "I know there's bad blood between us, but if you possess a Heavenly Fme, could you please save my grandfather? Whatever you require iurn, just . I'll do everything in my power to fulfill your request."

  "It's already been resolved."

  "Even if it's already... eh?"

  Nan Su frowned when he saw her fused expression and said dissatisfied, "Yanran, mind your manners! How you judge a gentleman with such a petty mi? Virtuous nephew Xiao Yan has already detoxified yrandfather. We were just about to go to the medie room to retrieve ingredients so he refine medial pills to help yrandfather recuperate."

  Nan Yanran's eyes widened in disbelief. The Searing Poison that even Elder Gu He was helpless against was actually resolved! And how long had she been gone? Not even an hour!!

  "Just a small poison, not worth mentioning."

  Xiao Yan maintained a gentle smile as he walked leisurely along the gravel path, his gaze fixed ahead as he followed Nan Su toward the medie room. Nan Yanran tagged along out of curiosity when she heard that he was going to refine medial pills to aid in her grandfather's recovery.

  As she trailed behind Xiao Yan, she couldn't help but steal g the young man who was chatting amicably with her father. Though her pretty face remained calm, she was greatly shaken in her heart.

  After all, their e had yet to be annulled!

  Over the past three years, she had been stantly reevaluating this e. This was the first time she had observed Xiao Yan up close.

  "Virtuous nephew, did you e to Jia Ma Sacred City this time to participate in the Alchemist Graing held every eight years?" Nan Su asked.

  "That tour isn't for me; it doesn't seem challenging enough," Xiao Yan replied. When he arrived, Hai Bodong had mentiohe Alchemist Graing to him.

  Hai Bodong had enced him to participate in the petition. In the past, Gu He had won the championship with his tier 4 alchemy skills and was subsequently invited by Yun Shan, the former Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, to join as a guest elder.

  It was also thanks to the abundant resources provided by the Misty Cloud Sect that Gu He was able to reach tier 6 ihan ten years and even dared to vie for Queen Medusa's Heavenly Fme.

  However, just as Xiao Yan said, participating in such a petition would be akin to bullying others. He was already at the peak of tier 4, on the verge of reag tier 5, and his Spiritual Strength had reached the te stage of the Mortal State, not to mention his three kinds of Heavenly Fmes.

  Xiao Yan participating in the Alchemist Graing would be like a college student bullying elementary school children. It would be too shameless.

  "Your tone is just as boastful as it was three years ago," Nan Yanran couldn't help but retort. This guy was truly fident! He might as well have the word 'fidence' engraved on his face.

  Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Nan Yanran, smiled, and said, "But just like three years ago, I'm only speaking facts."

  Nan Su cleared his throat lightly and interrupted, "We've arrived. Virtuous nephew, if there's anything you need here, you take it without needing anyone's permission."

  Upoering the medie room and seeing the vast space, Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire the deep foundation of the Nan .

  This wasn't just a medie room; it was a full-fledged medial ingredient warehouse. tless shelves were stocked with a wide variety of preedial ingredients. The lowest grade among them was middle-grade; low-grade ingredients didn't even qualify to be pced here.

  It could rival the treasury of the Snake-People Tribe.

  'Medusa, you sure are poor,' Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

  Just like gold, preedial ingredients were also a form of hard currency that could be used to preserve wealth. Some ingredients even became more valuable the lohey were stored.

  Following Nan Su all the way ihey entered a secluded chamber where a pnt in a jade flowerpot appeared before Xiao Yan.

  "This is Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva!!" Xiao Yan reized at a ghe rare flower before him. It -grade heavenly treasure.

  "Virtuous nephew has sharp eyes. This is a heavenly treasure Father came across by ce," Nan Su expined with a smile.

  Nan Yanran swallowed upon seeing the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva. Even Gu He had wa back then, as it could directly increase Spiritual Strength, but Nan Jie hadn't sold it in the end.

  The entire room was filled with a faint, calming fragrance.

  This pnt was entirely green in color, appearing as if it was carved from top quality green jade. Atop the pnt, a flower possessing seven different colors was slowly blooming.

  Xiao Yan carefully examihe Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva before him and thought, 'With the help of this Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva, I might be able to further increase my Spiritual Strength!'

  He already had an exceptionally high ialent for Spiritual Strength. bined with his cultivation of the Spirit Heart Gathering Soul Teique and the remnant soul of the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger, his Spiritual Strength had reached the level of a high-grade 5th-tier alchemist.

  He had initially thought that breaking through to tier 6 in Spiritual Strength would take a long time, but he hadn't expected Nao possess the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva!

  'My Spiritual Strength is so much higher than my Dou Qi cultivation. I'm really being more and more like someone from the Hun ,' Xiao Yan couldn't help but mock the huge disparity between his Dou Qi cultivation and Spiritual Strength.
