Though it was late at night, the moonlight illuminated the surroundings, making it not too dark and enough to illuminate the faces of the two people talking inside the pavilion.
However, the expressions of the two people inside the pavilion were completely different. Lin Feng's face showed a hint of eagerness, while Nalan Jie's face showed some hesitation.
"Mr. Lin Feng, it's not that I'm unwilling to let you try, it's just that this branding poison can even poison a Dou Wang level expert, let alone..." At this point, Nalan Jie stopped speaking, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
"Senior Nalan, there's no need to worry. My master once gave me a seventh-grade pill," to increase Nalan Jie's confidence, Lin Feng told a false lie, "You could say that I am immune to all poisons. At least, I'm not afraid of poisons that can't poison a Dou Zong level expert." "
In that case, please, Mr. Lin Feng, take a look." Hearing Lin Feng's words, Nalan Jie hesitated for a moment, but still slowly raised his hand.
After circulating his battle qi to protect his meridians, Lin Feng placed his hand on Nalan Jie's arm, his soul power flowing inward along the battle qi.
"Boom!"
A surge of immense energy appeared in Lin Feng's perception, powerful and overwhelming, far exceeding his current abilities in quantity. However, "In terms of quality, the battle qi cultivated by my Five Elements Technique is superior."
His soul power extended along the battle qi through his meridians. Suddenly, Lin Feng's expression hardened as a massive ball of black energy appeared in his perception, radiating an extremely malevolent aura.
"I didn't expect it to be so terrifying. I wonder if I can refine it with the annihilating power of the Five Elements Technique."
Thinking this, another surge of powerful battle qi energy erupted from Lin Feng's dantian, accompanied by flames of three colors. As this battle qi energy entered Nalan Jie's body, the black, malevolent energy seemed to sense something, twitching slightly. Sensing
this movement, Lin Feng quickly used his soul power to envelop the battle qi energy, isolating it from his senses.
"Hoo!"
"Mr. Lin Feng, is there a way to cure this?" Seeing Lin Feng open his eyes, Nalan Jie couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of hope. "Perhaps, the apprentice of the alchemy master might have a solution."
After wiping the sweat from his face, Lin Feng looked at Nalan Jie's old face. "Senior Nalan, I do indeed have a way to cure this branding poison, but the treatment is quite mentally taxing. I wonder..."
"Mr. Lin Feng, you really do have a way to cure this evil thing? This, Mr. Lin Feng, it's not that I doubt you, it's just that..."
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the overjoyed Nalan Jie, who stammered. This was a huge surprise for him. As for the meaning behind Lin Feng's words, it was exactly what the shrewd old Nalan Jie understood.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin Feng, just ask! As long as the Nalan family has it, we can give it to you." Nalan Jie waved his hands excitedly and stroked his beard.
"I've heard that Senior Nalan possesses a spiritual herb called Seven Illusion Azure Spirit Saliva. I wonder if Senior Nalan would be willing to part with it?" Lin Feng, unfazed by Nalan Jie's carefree demeanor, directly stated his request.
"Uh..." Hearing Lin Feng's words, Nalan Jie's hand stroking his beard paused, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.
"Mr. Lin Feng has excellent taste. Our clan does indeed possess a Seven Illusion Azure Spirit Saliva. To be honest, if it weren't for this herb, I wouldn't have suffered this branding poison."
Seeing Nalan Jie's lament, Lin Feng remained unmoved; he wasn't doing charity.
Seeing Lin Feng's attitude, Nalan Jie knew that the herb was beyond saving.
"Of course, I understand the rules of alchemists. There's no such thing as free treatment. I'll retrieve the elixir and present it to Mr. Lin Feng as soon as I return to my clan."
"There's no time like the present, Senior Nalan. Why don't we go back today and prepare a secret room? I can also prepare some pills in case of unforeseen circumstances. After that, I'll head to the Nalan residence." Lin Feng needed to be prepared for the branding poison, as he didn't possess any special fire.
"Then I'll return and await Mr. Lin Feng's arrival."
Inside the alchemy room, Lin Feng stood before a medicine cauldron, stroking his chin in thought.
"In the original story, the anti-inflammatory medicine was suppressed by the powerful force of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Three sixth-tier beast fires are clearly no match for a special fire. My only advantage is the power of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint."
"However, relying solely on this is still somewhat risky. I must refine some pills to prevent the branding poison from backfiring. Nalan Jie's death is not a concern, but he cannot be allowed to make a mistake."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Feng decided on the pills he wanted to refine.
A Grade Four Ice Heart Pill: its effect is to stabilize the mind of the user, lasting for one hour, and it also suppresses fire-type spiritual objects. A
Grade Four Antidote Pill: as the name suggests, it's a precaution.
After refining the pills for a while, Lin Feng felt uneasy and went to Fa Ma to refine several Grade Five Antidote Pills.
With everything prepared, Lin Feng didn't rush to the Nalan family's residence. Instead, he checked on Qing Lin to see if she had woken up before returning to bed and falling into a deep sleep.
In a spacious living room of the Nalan family, a middle-aged man and an elderly man sat facing each other.
"Father, are you sure Master Lin Feng said he would come tonight to detoxify?" Nalan Su, who had been waiting for an hour, looked towards the door, a slight doubt in his heart.
"Of course, Master Lin Feng clearly told me he would be leaving soon so he could refine some protective pills. He's probably on his way now." Seeing Nalan Su about to speak again, Nalan Jie shouted, "Shut up! You're the head of the family now, how can you still lack self-control!"
"Yes, Father." After being scolded, Nalan Su quickly swallowed the words he was about to say, shrinking back. He was still quite afraid of his old man.
Another hour passed, and it was almost dawn. The two Nalan brothers in the hall were still waiting.
"Father, this..." Finally, Nalan Su couldn't help but speak again.
"Alas, perhaps I really did remember wrong." Nalan Jie was also full of doubts, with many questions in his mind. "Am I really getting senile?"
The next morning, a knock on the door startled the guards at the Nalan family's gate.
"Um, may I ask who you are?" The Nalan family guard, whose sweet dream had been disturbed, was about to shout angrily when another guard quickly covered his mouth and cautiously inquired of the newcomer.
"I am Lin Feng. Senior Nalan should have told you."
"So it's Master Lin Feng. The patriarch instructed us to take you directly to see the patriarch after you arrived." Hearing Lin Feng's words, the quick-witted guard immediately responded and then led Lin Feng to the inner courtyard.
As for the guard who wanted to scold Lin Feng, he was now dumbfounded, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself, "Really, I really didn't expect this."
After passing through several courtyards, Lin Feng saw the two Nalans dozing off in the main hall.
"Um, this is..." Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's lips twitched, somewhat unable to bear to look. "Could this be the Nalan family's cultivation method?"
"Alright, you can leave." He waved his hand, signaling the guard to leave.
"Senior Nalan," Lin Feng said softly as he slowly walked forward.
As he spoke, the two Nalans, who hadn't slept all night, finally opened their bloodshot eyes. They stared at Lin Feng expressionlessly, startling him into taking a step back.
"Uh, what's wrong, you two?" Lin Feng cautiously inquired.
"Mr. Lin Feng, have you forgotten what we talked about last night?" Nalan Jie asked expressionlessly, seeing that Lin Feng had indeed forgotten everything.
Hearing this, Lin Feng recalled the events of the previous night, "I will go to the Nalan residence."
"Uh, haha," Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly, then waved his hand dismissively. How could he admit that he had gone to sleep after refining the pills yesterday? "So, is Senior Nalan ready?" Nalan Jie
looked at Lin Feng speechlessly. Oh well, what could he do when he needed something from him? "In that case, Mr. Lin Feng, please follow me!"
How could I possibly forget about the alchemist?
