Master Lan stared at Xiao Yan in disbelief from the Hundred Herb Pavilion. His deep eyes were fixated on the blue flame that was slowly rising up in his hand. He was shocked inside.
"This really is a Heavenly Flame!"
Swish!
In an instant, Master Lan's figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan. He stared at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand face to face and felt the uncontrollable overbearing feeling within the flame. Master Lan could not help but nod his head heavily.
"It really is a Heavenly Flame. Not bad. There's probably no other power in the world that can compare to it."
The expressions of Hu Yanzao beside Xiao Yan and the remaining people in the hall immediately changed when these words sounded. Numerous gazes gathered on Xiao Yan in an orderly manner. Their fiery hot gazes stared at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand at this moment. The shock in their hearts was completely expressed on their faces.
After confirming that it was a Heavenly Flame, master Lan immediately pulled his young master up and took a step back. He bowed to Xiao Yan in front of everyone.
"I am Lan Ye. This is my young master, Fang Zhicong. Please forgive me for being rude to you earlier."
Master Lan did not hesitate or pause in this series of actions. From recognizing the 'Heavenly Flame' in Xiao Yan's hand, to thinking rapidly in his heart, to bowing and cupping his hands together in apology, all of this happened within the short span of a few breaths.
"Hehe, you worry too much, senior. I spoke too rashly before, which was why you misunderstood."
Seeing this scene, the expression on Xiao Yan's face was involuntarily startled. Following which, he hurriedly went forward and helped the bent Master Lan up.
Master Lan was a late Returnance expert after all. Bowing to him in public was already a great gesture. Xiao Yan did not dare to be rude.
"The elder of the Alchemist Alliance who examined the young master's poison in the past said that the young master's poison is extremely deep in his body. Normal methods are unable to expel it. There are only two methods in the world. One of them is to use a Heavenly Flame to refine the poison, but the Heavenly Flames in the world have already gained sentience. Normal people can't obtain a Heavenly Flame.
Master Lan's face immediately lit up when Xiao Yan helped him up. The matter of Fang Zhicong being poisoned had troubled his Fang family for many years. He had searched everywhere but was unable to find a way to cure the poison. He originally thought that this was the only way, but he never thought that Xiao Yan, who possessed a Heavenly Flame, would appear here at a time like this.
It was truly a case of traveling far and wide in search of something, only to find it by chance.
"Senior, you said that there are only two ways to cure the poison. One of them is a Heavenly Flame. What about the other one?"
Hearing Lan Ye's words, Xiao Yan involuntarily raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
"Naturally, it's a sufficiently powerful cultivation."
Lan Ye sighed softly before continuing.
"Although that is the case, even if we went to find a supreme expert, he was still unable to expel the poison. At the very most, he could only suppress it for a period of time. Otherwise …"
"Otherwise, his cultivation would not even be at the level of an eight star Dou Di."
This time around, Xiao Yan took over without waiting for Lan Ye to spit out the words from his mouth.
After some investigation, he had clearly sensed that although Fang Zhicong's cultivation was indeed at the level of an eight star Dou Di, there seemed to be another force in his body that was continuously sucking away the Genesis Qi in his body, causing his cultivation to be lost at all times. It would not be long before Fang Zhicong's cultivation fell to the level of a seven star Dou Di or even lower.
"* Sigh * … the elders of the Alchemist Alliance once judged that if young master's cultivation continued to be lost, once his cultivation fell below the level of a Dou Di, young master's Spirit Source would collapse on its own. At that time, all that would be left of this body would be an empty shell."
At this point, Lan Ye could not help but turn his head to glance at Fang Zhicong. There was some reluctance in his old eyes.
"Therefore, I hope that mister will be able to expel the poison in my young master's body. If you can expel the poison, I guarantee that the Fang family will owe you a huge favor!"
When these words were said, Xiao Yan's expression did not change in the slightest, but his heart was wild with joy. After all this talk, wasn't this what he wanted to hear?
Xiao Yan did not think that he was a good person who would step forward to expel the poison for no reason. However, he had just arrived in the extreme south and had met an expert like Lan Ye. He could guess that the faction behind Lan Ye was definitely not ordinary. If he could make such a person owe him a favor, it would be of great benefit to his following journey.
"Master Lan, don't be anxious. Since I mentioned the Heavenly Flame, it can be considered that I have agreed to expel the poison for young master Fang. Please don't worry about this."
After speaking, Xiao Yan slowly turned around under Lan Ye's puzzled gaze. He looked at Hu Yanzao and said with a smile,
"I'll have to trouble Steward Hu to put away this Broken Mirror Flower for me. I want it."
When Hu Yanzao, who was looking at the two of them with a blank face, heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses. He almost jumped up, turned around, and shouted at the attendant of the Hundred Herb Pavilion not far away. Immediately after, the attendant hurriedly moved.
"Wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, Lan Ye once again stopped Hu Yanzao. Hu Yanzao immediately looked at Lan Ye. Compared to Xiao Yan, this old man was even more terrifying, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.
Under Xiao Yan's suspicious gaze, Lan Ye spoke calmly.
"Take all the Broken Mirror Flowers in your inventory and give them to this mister. I will pay you all the required fees."
Hu Yanzao's eyes immediately brightened the moment these words were uttered. He rejoiced quietly in his heart. Immediately, he hurriedly sent people to retrieve all the 'Broken Mirror Flowers' in the warehouse. Together with the one on the counter, he handed them all to Xiao Yan.
As for the other medicinal herbs needed to exchange for the Broken Mirror Flower, Lan Ye handed them over on his behalf. In addition to the medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan was also surprised to find that there was a large amount of Spirit Stones involved in the transaction.
"Haha, mister, please don't be offended. The Hundred Herb Pavilion has always been trading items. This is absolutely fair. However, we need manpower after all. It's not much. One medicinal herb only costs 1,000 Spirit Stones and the elixir costs 3,000."
Seeing the stunned expression on Xiao Yan's face, Hu Yanzao merely parted his mouth and laughed. His appearance was completely harmless. However, the words that were spat out from his mouth caused the flesh on Xiao Yan's face to twitch. This Hundred Herb Pavilion really had a good plan. Not only would they not suffer any losses from such a transaction, they would also be able to obtain a large amount of Spirit Stones. It was basically a trick to gain something without risking anything!
