Chapter 184 Detoxification
Chapter 184 Detoxification
Looking at the emaciated body of Nalan Jie, even with the temperament of Gu He, he couldn't help but shake his head. This old guy actually played himself into such a state.
After all, he was one of the top ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire...
On the side, Nalan Yanran saw this scene, and her eyes became slightly moist. The rare mist lingered in her eyes, making her look somewhat pitiful.
After examining it, Gu He raised his right hand, and purple flames surrounded it. In an instant, the temperature in the room soared.
Slowly extending his middle finger, a wisp of purple flame twisted around it. Then, Gu He's soul power slowly extended from his body, enveloping the purple flame, suppressing its scorching heat, and gently touching Nalan Jie's back.
As the finger touched, the purple flame made a muffled sound as it drilled into Nalan Jie's body. At this moment, the originally unconscious Nalan Jie's body trembled violently.
With the finger on Nalan Jie's back, Gu He squinted his eyes, controlling the soul power that enveloped the purple flame. It quickly traversed some main meridians and gradually approached the bones in Nalan Jie's body covered by poison.
With the extension of soul power, the situation inside Nalan Jie's body also appeared in Gu He's mind. Sensing the almost blackened bones, Gu He's brows gradually furrowed. The depth of Nalan Jie's poisoning far exceeded his expectations.
"If it were any later, this old guy might really be beyond saving..."
Muttering to himself, Gu He's soul power enveloped the primordial divine fire and slowly approached the blackened bones covered by toxins. As it approached, Gu He's soul power gradually began to relax, and the temperature of the purple flame quietly increased.
As the temperature of the purple flame rose, Nalan Jie, who was originally numb, gradually felt a sense of pain on his face. His withered palm also tightly clenched, and veins bulged on his arm.
The purple flame, enveloped by soul power, stopped rising in temperature each time it reached a certain point. Gu He took a slow breath of slightly hot air, hesitated for a moment, and then directly controlled the green flame to cover a section of the blackened bones.
"Ah..."
On the bed, Nalan Jie, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a hoarse and painful roar. A fierce aura, like a dying ember, awakened.
"Old man..."
Seeing the sudden opening of the eyes and roar of the old man, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su hurriedly shouted.
"Nalan Clan Leader, I am detoxifying for you. If you can endure this intense pain, the branding poison should be expelled. But if you can't, then I am powerless." Glancing at the sweating Nalan Jie, Gu He said indifferently.
Hearing the voice behind him, Nalan Jie slightly turned his head and looked at Lord Alchemist King's face. He couldn't help but be stunned. Then he gritted his teeth and said with a dry smile, "Lord Alchemist King, I didn't expect to have to trouble you. "
Lord Alchemist King's expression was serious. "The toxins in your body have penetrated into the bone marrow. I am using the Heavenly Flame to help you eliminate them. Can you endure it?"
"Haha, Lord Alchemist King, feel free to do it. Even if you kill me, no one dares to blame you. My life was already saved by a fluke."
At these words, enduring the intense pain in his body, Nalan Jie laughed heartily.
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?"
On the side, seeing Nalan Jie waking up from a coma, Nalan Yanran slightly relaxed and couldn't help but scold.
"You, this silly girl, you still have the face to come back? If it weren't for your wilfulness going to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement three years ago, I wouldn't be infuriated, unable to practice, and end up like this because of the branding poison." Glaring at Nalan Yanran, Nalan Jie's angry roar had not yet subsided, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, letting out another dry howl.
Gu He frowned. "Old man, be quiet."
Hearing Gu He, the room immediately quieted down.
Looking at the teacher with a cold expression, Nalan Yanran quietly stuck out her tongue. Then she turned to look at Nalan Jie's sullen face. In her heart, there was a slight smile. Over the years, it seemed that only the teacher dared to speak to the irritable old man in such a manner.
As the silence fell among the few people, the atmosphere in the room quietly settled down.
In the quiet room, Nalan father and daughter spoke in low voices, occasionally casting glances at the two people beside the bed. With the passage of time, as they watched the sweat rolling down the old man's face and the veins pulsating on his arms, the hushed conversation between Nalan Yanran and her father gradually came to a stop. They exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of anxiety and unease in each other's eyes.
Ignoring the anxious duo in the room, Gu He's face remained calm. The finger pointing at Nalan Jie's back trembled slightly, and the faint purple flame, continuously enveloped by soul power, carefully infiltrated into the latter's body, gradually using high temperatures to expel the "branding poison" that had invaded the bones.
The purple flame, wrapped around the dark bones, appeared to be closely attached, but with careful observation, one could see a very subtle gap between them. The temperature of the strange fire was too terrifying; even if it was in contact with Nalan Jie's bones, a Dou King powerhouse would be instantly severely injured or even killed!
The scorching heat permeated from the flame and slowly roasted the blackened bones.
As the purple flame continued to roast, wisps of black mist quietly emanated from the bones. Before escaping, they were swiftly engulfed by a cluster of purple flames, using the terrifying high temperature to gradually turn the poisonous mist, which even a Dou Huang powerhouse had to treat with caution, into nothingness.
However, during the burning of the black mist by the purple flame, it was not noticed that, just as the black mist was about to dissipate, some inexplicable black substances gradually mixed with the purple flame, and then completely fell silent.
With the quiet passage of time, the section of dark bones enveloped by the purple flame, which was controlled by Gu He, gradually returned to its normal color at a visible speed.
Outside, at this moment, Nalan Jie was already soaked in sweat. The old man's face, wrinkled and twitching, released a sound of cold air sucking through his teeth.
"Lord Alchemist... are you... done?"
With tightly clenched fists and veins bulging on his arms like small snakes, Nalan Jie's voice was hoarse and trembling.
Upon hearing this, Gu He frowned. Seeing that Nalan Jie couldn't hold on any longer, he moved his mind and took out a jade bottle from Nalan Jie's storage ring, handing it to Nalan Yanran.
"Let the old man take it."
Nalan Yanran immediately took the jade bottle and poured out a green sphere from it.
As the green sphere poured out, a strong vitality immediately emanated.
Feeling this rich vitality, Nalan Yanran's expression suddenly changed.
"This... could it be a sixth-grade elixir!"
For a moment, Nalan Yanran looked at Gu He in front of her, and her beautiful eyes revealed infinite gratitude.
The teacher actually took out a sixth-grade elixir for her sake!
In an instant, Nalan Yanran was filled with gratitude towards Gu He.
Then, Nalan Yanran quickly handed the green sphere in her hand to Nalan Jie's mouth.
As the green sphere entered his mouth, a rich vitality began to spread within Nalan Jie's aged body, repairing his severely damaged body.
"This..."
Feeling the changes in his body, Nalan Jie's body trembled suddenly, sensing significant changes happening. The unprecedented sense of comfort felt as if he had been reborn.
Nalan father and daughter's gazes had been fixed on Nalan Jie. They could see the changes in Nalan Jie after taking the green sphere. His originally wrinkled face seemed to have become much younger, and even some of his white hair had turned into black strands.
In an instant, Nalan parents were greatly shocked, realizing the preciousness of the green sphere just now.
"Lord Alchemist, please accept a bow from Nalan Su!"
After reacting, Nalan Su felt extremely grateful and directly bowed deeply to Gu He.
