"Wait..." Jia Xingtian suddenly called out, then turned to look at his precious great-granddaughter. He had to admit his genes were strong. While this great-granddaughter might not be the number one beauty in the Imperial Capital, she was on par with Nalan Yanran. Perhaps... thinking of this, Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye and smiled: "Ye'er, tomorrow you will go with me to the Mittel Family to visit that young Dou Zong expert."
Hearing this, Yao Ye looked at her great-grandfather and sighed helplessly in her heart, saying: "Yes!"
Jia Xingtian planned to use his great-granddaughter for a honey trap to obtain Chen Yang's forgiveness, but Fa Ma didn't have such a young granddaughter. In the Imperial Alchemist Guild, there wasn't a single girl who was both presentable and had potential. Of course, Fa Ma didn't think in that direction; he was currently struggling to collect some rare medicinal herbs and top-grade Pill Formulas.
"He has a good relationship with Hai Bodong... fine, I'll just give this item to Hai Bodong!" Speaking of which, the medicinal herbs needed for the spirit replenishing ice pill were not precious, but they had high collection value. When the Mittel Family came to buy it before, he had refused, but now, he was going to give it to them directly... The Nalan Family!
At this time, Nalan Jie was afflicted by the branding poison. If not for his Dou Wang cultivation supporting him, he would have died long ago.
Fortunately, there were still about five months until the Alchemist Convention, and Nalan Jie's condition wasn't too bad. However, Gu He had also said during his last visit that to completely root out this branding poison, one must have a Heavenly Flame.
However, in the entire Jia Ma Empire and even the surrounding Empires, they had never heard of an Alchemist who possessed a Heavenly Flame. Nalan Jie was on the verge of despair.
"Family head, Family head, the Young Miss is back!" Nalan Su was worrying about how to solve the old man's branding poison when a servant suddenly came to report.
"That rebellious girl still knows to come back? If not for her, how would the old man have ended up in such a state?!!" Nalan Su slapped the table and strode out of the room, then saw his daughter standing prettily at the door, with Yun Yun in her golden brocade robe beside her.
"Nalan Su greets Sect Master Yun!" Seeing Yun Yun, Nalan Su hurriedly paid his respects.
"Family Head Nalan is too polite." Yun Yun's voice remained elegant as she nodded slightly at Nalan Su.
"Sect Master Yun, please. My father is afflicted by the branding poison and is currently using his power to suppress it, so he cannot come to welcome you. I hope Sect Master Yun can be understanding!"
In name, Yun Yun was Nalan Yanran's teacher and was of the same generation as himself, one generation younger than Nalan Jie.
But on the Fighting Qi Continent, strength was respected. She was the Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect and a Dou Huang expert, so she was a Senior.
The so-called four realms of the cultivation world: Ant Realm, Fellow Daoist Realm, Senior Realm, and Little Friend Realm, were nothing more than this!
"I am also aware of Marshal Lionheart's poison. A few days ago, Yanran asked me to invite Elder Gu He to come down the mountain to take a look. What did Elder Gu He say?" Yun Yun was welcomed by Nalan Su toward the hall, asking nonchalantly along the way.
"Great Master Gu He also had no good prescription. He only said that the branding poison my father is afflicted with requires a Heavenly Flame to be removed. Ordinary detoxification pills, even a sixth-grade pill, have no way!" Nalan Su sighed helplessly, clearly having learned the news of Gu He's failure to find a Heavenly Flame.
"Heavenly Flame..." Hearing this, Yun Yun turned her gaze toward Nalan Yanran with a strange expression.
One couldn't say whether it was a coincidence or not. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, the only one who could save Nalan Jie happened to be the fiancé Yanran had broken off the engagement with. Truly, fate plays tricks on people!
"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?" Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun in confusion, then thought of Yun Yun accompanying Gu He to find the Heavenly Flame earlier. "Speaking of which, didn't Teacher go with Elder Gu He to find the Heavenly Flame before? Was there any result?"
Yun Yun shook her head. Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su immediately felt dejected. If the strongest Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire hadn't obtained a Heavenly Flame, the old man was truly beyond saving!
"Yanran, Elder Gu He and I went deep into the Tagor Desert and indeed saw a Heavenly Flame, it's just that it wasn't obtained by Gu He!" Yun Yun was actually standing between her Disciple and Chen Yang. Her relationship with Xiao Yan was limited to Chen Yang's close relationship with him, but she couldn't stand by and watch her Disciple be sad over losing her grandfather.
She simply informed Nalan Yanran of the news of the Heavenly Flame and let her make her own decision. As for whether Xiao Yan would agree and what conditions he would propose, she would just act as a mediator and witness at that time.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran immediately reacted. Her teacher had left with Elder Gu He and others but appeared with her Master's Husband. Could it be... "Could it be that the Heavenly Flame was obtained by Master's Husband?" Nalan Yanran said excitedly.
On the side, Nalan Su heard the words 'Master's Husband' and wished he were deaf. What kind of things that he shouldn't hear was he hearing? He wouldn't be silenced, would he?
Yun Yun felt a bit shy hearing Nalan Yanran call Chen Yang 'Master's Husband', but her cool personality meant there wasn't much expression on her Face: "Although he obtained the Heavenly Flame, he didn't devour it. Instead, he gave it to someone else. I think you should know who he is..."
Nalan Yanran was stunned, then her head buzzed, and her whole body swayed.
After a long time, Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun with a bitter smile: "So, in the Jia Ma Empire, the only one who can save Grandpa now is him..."
