"As for the reason, many people have secretly speculated."

The old man made a mysterious gesture and said slowly.

"I see."

Under the black robe, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he naturally knew what Guhe's retreat was about, and it even had something to do with him.

That day in the Snake Tribe tribe, Furukawa and his team went to great lengths to obtain the strange fire from Queen Medusa, even going so far as to fight.

But in the end, the peach was indeed picked by Xiao Yan. Xiangbi Guhe was severely hit and still cannot come out of seclusion.

"Perhaps you can go to Nalan's house and give it a try. I'm sure you'll gain something."

As the old man finished speaking, the waiter walked out of the secret door, dragging a silver disc in his hand. On the plate were placed five forbidden white jade boxes of different sizes, each box also had a Dou Qi restriction on it.

At the old man's signal, the waiter placed these jade boxes in front of Xiao Yan. Then he made an invitation gesture, smiled at Xiao Yan and said:

"You may wish to check it out and see if you are satisfied."

Xiao Yan picked up the jade boxes one by one without hesitation, and then opened them. After confirming that they were correct, he put them away with satisfaction.

"The medicinal materials are well preserved and the vintage is quite sufficient."

Immediately, Xiao Yan stood up and said:

"The transaction is completed, I will leave now."

Then he took Qing Lin and left the room under the eyes of the old man.

Taking Qing Lin with me, I randomly found a hotel that looked good and stayed there.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly and was struggling fiercely in his heart.

To be fair, because of Nalan Yanran, he didn't have the slightest fondness for the Nalan family. If he was asked to help the other party, Xiao Yan would naturally be quite unhappy.

But the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva is in the opponent's hands. It is a rare medicinal material that can restore soul power. Even if it is not very useful to Han Li today, it is better than nothing.

Even if he can recover even a little bit, it is worth it for Xiao Yan.

As for robbing by force, it is not that Xiao Yan has never made this plan. Although it is easy to do, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Especially at this juncture of the Alchemist Competition, talented alchemists from the surrounding countries, including the Gama Empire, must be participating. They are guaranteed to have tokens of strong family members, or are followed by strong people.

The influence of the Nalan family is not comparable to that of the Mo family. Once things get too big, unexpected surprises may occur when they join the Yunlan Sect later.

After some deliberation, Xiao Yan gave up the idea of ​​taking it by force out of caution.

He exhaled slowly and opened his eyes, an indescribable light flashed in his eyes.

"Forget it, I'm going to try to detoxify the old man of the Nalan family, but you, the Nalan family, must be prepared to be opened wide by my lion!"

On the same day, after making arrangements for Qinglin, Xiao Yan left the hotel.

He stood at the fork of the street, looking at the flow of people coming and going. He breathed out slowly and looked up at the center of the city. There was one of the three major families in the Jiama Empire, the Nalan family. of.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yan inserted his hands into the sleeves of his robe, whispered softly, and then walked towards the huge family headquarters step by step. Under the black robe, his face and breath quietly changed under the influence of the technique. Soon he completely transformed into another person.

Just before arriving at the Nalan family, a familiar aura suddenly appeared within Xiao Yan's range of perception. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure quietly walking into the Miter auction house among the crowd.

The figure was stooped and wearing a low-quality straw hat.

That person was none other than Hai Bodong.

"Ebi is here too."

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, but Xiao Yan did not stop him. After all, there was no need to let him know what he was going to do now.

Approaching the majestic mansion, Xiao Yan was shocked to see that there were many people gathered at the door, and all of them were wearing alchemist robes, with a few strands of hair on their chests. The bright silver ripples proudly displayed their status and rank.

On the street with people coming and going, all the passers-by who pass by here will cast their envious and awe-inspiring gazes at the group of pharmacists whispering to each other. In their hearts, pharmacists are a kind of noble A profession like nobility.

As for these powerful alchemists, the Nalan family obviously did not dare to neglect them easily. Some servants were respectfully telling the alchemists who were waiting outside, only to find that the other party was indeed strong enough to enter. Only then was he released.

The incompetent alchemists were politely rejected by them. Although this move made those blocked alchemists a little dissatisfied, thinking of the power of the Nalan family, they had no choice but to suppress their unpleasant emotions and roll their sleeves. leave.

After quietly staring at the door for a while, Xiao Yan discovered that most of the alchemists who could be released were around the third grade, while most of those who were rejected were of the second or first grade.

Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth, raised his feet, and strode towards the heavily defended gate of the Nalan family.

Although he has never evaluated the level of an alchemist, he has other preparations.

After squeezing through the crowd, Xiao Yan took a step forward, and an old man who seemed to be a housekeeper hurriedly came forward to greet him. However, when he looked at Xiao Yan's black robe that did not reveal his identity, something difficult flashed in his eyes. Perceived disappointment.

However, the old man who had been a servant of the Nalan family for decades would not show his emotions on his face. He showed a gentle smile and said:

"Brother, I am the steward of the Nalan family. I believe you are here to see if you can cure my old man, right?"

Xiao Yan raised his head without leaving any trace, revealing the stubble-covered face from the black run, put on an invisible smile, and a rough voice came out from his cracked mouth:
"Hey, that's natural."

Xiao Yan's familiar attitude made the old man slightly stunned. This was different from other alchemists.

Those alchemists were all dazzled with jewels, and their noses were as high as the sky. The old man was often looked down upon today.

He said helplessly:

"Sorry, brother, our requirement this time is that we need a third-grade alchemist, or above."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yan stretch out a finger, and then, a faint purple flame rose from his fingertip out of thin air.
"Grade doesn't mean everything."

Xiao Yan said lightly.

When the old man saw this, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly, and his face was filled with a look of horror. Real Fire was a method that only a fourth-grade alchemist could use, but the person in front of him could use it so easily, and his grade was definitely not low.

"How's it going? Are you qualified?"

Xiao Yan's voice appeared in the old man's ears. He nodded hurriedly and said quickly:
"Enough, enough!" "Brother, please come in and talk."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan's face remained expressionless. Without any more nonsense, he slowly walked into the door and disappeared from everyone's somewhat astonished gaze.

Entering the gate, a pretty maid hurriedly walked out from the side, then said a few words softly to Xiao Yan and led the way.

Xiao Yan followed the maid leisurely, his eyes casually scanning the luxurious mansion. There were tall and majestic buildings everywhere. Apart from other things, the Nalan family's financial situation was at least adequate.

Walking on the path paved with green gravel, as the distance goes deeper into Nalan's house, Xiao Yan's soul perception can detect more hidden glances and sharp cold gleams.

He inadvertently raised his head and glanced at a corner. Under the dark shadow, hidden in the dark, sharp arrows coated in black were quietly monitoring the people in the palace. Any slightest sign of trouble would be detected. Invite merciless blows.

“The defense is indeed very tight”

Xiao Yan kept his face silent and thought to himself. He turned his eyes around and saw a luxurious hall. Looking through the ajar door, he vaguely saw many people standing inside.

Slowly walking into the hall, there were some low whispers. When the door was opened gently, the low voices in the hall stopped. Then one after another eyes turned to the door, and everyone looked at Xiao. Yan, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"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 about ten alchemists wearing the same color robes. On their chests, they wore the badges of third-level alchemists. However, these third-level alchemists Most of the pharmacists are in middle age, and two of them have gray hair.

Ignoring these glances, Xiao Yan slowly glanced around. Next to the main seat, a pretty woman wearing a moon-white robe stood there.

"Nalan Yanran."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and felt a violent emotion in his heart, but he suppressed it very well. The hands hidden under his sleeves were now clenched into fists, and the joints were a little white.

On the main seat, a middle-aged man sat up. His eyes turned to Xiao Yan. When he saw that he did not wear the alchemist's special badge, he was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted, stood up, cupped his hands and smiled:
"This brother, I am Nalansu, I don't know how to call him?"

Nalan Su, Nalan Yanran's biological father, listened to his self-introduction and looked at the smiling middle-aged man in front of him, showing a somewhat cheerful temperament. Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer secretly.

Suppressing his violent emotions, he showed a generous smile and said:

"Haha, just call me Yan Xiao."

"I don't know the alchemist level of Brother Yanxiao."

Nalan Su thought about it and couldn't remember a person named Yan Xiao from his memory, so he couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Haha, I'm not talented, I'm only in the fourth rank."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan stretched out a finger again, and as if performing a performance, a faint purple flame jumped on it again.

"Master Yan Xiao, please take a seat quickly."

Seeing this, Nalan Su suddenly nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Yan also took advantage of the situation and walked to the last position under the strange and envious eyes, and then sat down leisurely.

The gray-haired alchemy masters also greeted Xiao Yan solemnly, and Xiao Yan clasped his fists and returned the greeting casually.

After exchanging pleasantries, let's get to the point.

"Everyone who is here, Xiang Bi also knows the problems that my Nalan family is facing now. My father was poisoned by the notorious branding poison before, and now the poison has exploded and he can't stand it anymore."

"You can be regarded as the most famous alchemists in the empire. I invite you here this time because I want you to use your methods to diagnose the old man."

"Not much nonsense, as long as I can cure the old man, the Nalan family will definitely not disappoint you 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 contentedly, and even picked up the tea cup and took a sip, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

The alchemy masters looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, a gray-haired old man stood up with a smile and cupped his hands:
"Then let me give it a try first."

After that, he walked into the side room.

Ten minutes later, the old man walked out with an embarrassed look on his face, shaking his head, and said regretfully:
"I'm sorry, Chief Nalan, the poison is too stubborn. The dozens of detoxifying pills I prepared have no effect."

Hearing the old man's words, Nalansu and Nalan Yanran sighed in disappointment, looked at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads.

After the old man, a dozen alchemists entered the side room one after another, but after more than ten minutes, they all walked out with embarrassed faces. Obviously, they were helpless to deal with the poison.

With the failure of a famous alchemist, the disappointment on the faces of Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran became more and more intense.

In the hall, the dozen or so third-grade alchemists no longer had the same pride and arrogance as before. They remained silent with embarrassed faces.

"Brother Yan Xiao, don't you plan to go in and try?"

Nalan Su broke the silence, looked at the leisurely Xiao Yan, and spoke in a deep voice.

The other party is the highest-level alchemist who came today. Now that all the third-level alchemists have been wiped out, he can only place his hope on the other party.

Xiao Yan drank the tea slowly and said slowly:

"I'm here today, so I have some confidence. You don't have to worry," said Xiao Yan, putting down his tea cup and slowly walking into the side room.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yan opened the door and walked out. Seeing this scene, the disappointment on the faces of Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran became more intense.

He forced a smile and said:

"Thank you all. It seems that the old man is indeed destined for this disaster. Although he failed, I will still ask the butler to give you a generous reward later."

Listening to these euphemistic words to expel the guests, everyone shook their heads with a wry smile, stood up and wanted to leave. In this atmosphere, they really had no shame in collecting the reward.

"I didn't say it couldn't be cured," Xiao Yan said calmly, interrupting the actions of everyone in the hall. Amidst the horror of everyone and the shocked expressions of Nalan and his daughter, he stared at the father and daughter and said:

"I can detoxify the poison, but we have to talk about the reward!" (End of Chapter)
