Chapter 109: Exorcism
"I am removing the poison from you. If you can endure this severe pain, the poison should be able to be driven out."
Xiao Chen glanced at Nalan Jie, who was sweating profusely, and said softly.
Nalan Jie tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiao Chen's young face. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
As time passed, Xiao Chen's fingers that were tapping on Nalan Jie's back trembled slightly, and the faint green flame was constantly wrapped by the power of the soul. Then, it carefully entered Nalan Jie's body, gradually using high temperature to expel the poison that had already invaded his bones.
The green flames wrapped around the black bones, and the scorching heat seeped out from the flames, then slowly smoked the black bones.
As the green flame continued to smoke, wisps of black mist quietly emanated from the bones, and then before escaping, they were swiftly pounced on by a cluster of green flames, wrapped up, and smoked into nothingness.
"Little brother, are you okay?"
At this time, Nalan Jie's whole body was soaked with sweat. His old face kept twitching, and the sound of gasping for air leaked out from between his teeth. Nalan Jie asked in a hoarse and trembling voice.
"I have removed some of the poison in your body, but you are deeply poisoned. It is impossible to expel all the poison at once. I can only do it slowly. However, at this rate, it will take at least seven days to expel all the poison."
Xiao Chen retracted his fingers, and at the same time, a trace of fire returned to Xiao Chen's body, explaining.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that you, at such a young age, could possess a strange fire. I wonder which hidden master could train such an outstanding disciple as you.”
Nalan Jie nodded hurriedly and laughed hoarsely.
"By the way, may I know your name, little brother?"
"Xiao Chen, I will come again tomorrow. I will take my leave today."
Xiao Chen glanced at the sky outside and said lightly.
"Little brother Xiao Chen, I think in order to save some trouble, why don't you just live in the Nalan family?"
Hearing this, Nalan Jie immediately smiled warmly.
"No need, I have my own things to do." Xiao Chen shook his head, raised his leg and walked towards the door.
"Uh... In that case, girl, go and see your little brother off."
Seeing Xiao Chen's figure already walked out of the door, Nalan Jie was stunned and said helplessly.
"Ah."
Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, looked at the figure in front of her, and then slowly followed.
When Nalan Yanran left, Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Su with his turbid eyes.
"Old man, he is Xiao Chen from the Xiao family in Wutan City."
Nalan Su naturally understood what Nalan Jie meant and quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie nodded. He already had a guess in his mind, but he just wanted to confirm it himself. There was a pensive look in his cloudy eyes.
Xiao Chen and Nalan Yanran walked slowly on the bluestone path. Nalan Yanran walked side by side with Xiao Chen. Suddenly, Nalan Yanran opened her red lips and whispered:
"Are you Xiao Chen from the Xiao family in Wutan City?"
Xiao Chen nodded after hearing this.
Xiao Chen had no resistance to Nalan Yanran, because Nalan Yanran was not a bad woman. She was just a woman who pursued freedom and did not want to be controlled by others.
In this Douqi continent where strength is respected, everything depends on strength. What is right? What is wrong?
The so-called right and wrong are just different standpoints.
Xiao Chen had no opinion about Nalan Yanran's breaking off the engagement in the original novel, because it had nothing to do with him, Xiao Chen.
However, now, because of his appearance, some of the original routes have also changed.
"Why, Miss Nalan, do you want to choose to fulfill your engagement with me?"
Xiao Chen tilted his head and looked at Nalan Yanran's rather plump body, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran paused slightly and looked at Xiao Chen with her beautiful eyes. She didn't know how to answer for a moment and chose to remain silent.
Because of the appearance of Xiao Chen, the original plot was disrupted, and the original engagement became a matter of Nalan Yanran choosing whether to fulfill the engagement with Xiao Yan or Xiao Chen.
Not long after, Xiao Chen arrived at the gate of the Nalan family. Xiao Chen walked out of the gate and into the crowd of people coming and going until he disappeared into the distance.
"Xiao Chen, engagement?"
Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Chen's back that was vaguely visible in the crowd, shook her head slightly, whispered helplessly, and then turned around and entered the Nalan Mansion.
After walking slowly through several streets, Xiao Chen arrived at the inn where he was staying. He went up to the second floor, knocked on the doors of Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Xiao Chen."
"Master Xiao Chen."
In the spacious room, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin were sitting cross-legged on the bed with their beautiful eyes slightly closed, practicing. When they noticed Xiao Chen's arrival, they opened their beautiful eyes and whispered to each other.
"How's your training going?"
Xiao Chen sat on a chair, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then asked softly.
These days, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin have been practicing in the room of this inn, and occasionally go out to stroll on the streets of the imperial capital.
Next, Xiao Chen asked Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin in detail about their cultivation status. After Xiao Chen felt that there was no problem, he left them the resources they needed for cultivation and then returned to his room.
Xiao Yixian's poisonous body showed no signs of erupting. Qinglin was slowly learning to control Qinglin's three-flowered pupil. In short, everything was moving in a good direction.
After Xiao Chen returned to the room, he closed the door, and then entered the small world in the Qiankun Ring.
After Xiao Chen arrived at the small world, he first checked the current condition of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Xiao Chen did not find any signs that Queen Medusa was about to wake up, so he felt relieved.
However, Xiao Chen also knew that Queen Medusa would wake up sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and gently stroked the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python in his palm. At the same time, with a flash of light, Xiao Chen took out the Companion Purple Crystal Source from the Qiankun Ring, poured out a little, and let the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python gently lick the Companion Purple Crystal Source in his palm.
The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was enjoying it very much. When the accompanying purple crystal source in its palm was completely eaten by it, it revealed a look of satisfaction.
After a while, Xiao Chen took out the Qiankun Ding, a round tripod with three legs and two ears, and placed it on the ground. He then took out dozens of medicinal herbs from the Qiankun Ring. Xiao Chen prepared to make some pills.
These herbs were taken by Xiao Chen from the small valley in the Magic Beast Mountain Range and by Ya Fei from the Miter Auction House. As for the beast fires that Ya Fei gave him, Xiao Chen had already let the Chaos Fire devour them.
In the following time, Xiao Chen put the herbs one by one into the Qiankun Cauldron in a regular pattern. The chaotic fire filled the cauldron, refining the herbs and turning them into medicinal liquid, and finally into pills.
