Chapter 126
After seeing off Concubine Ya, Xiao Yuan calmed down and returned to the bedroom. After ordering the maid not to disturb him, he took off his shoes, sat down cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice.
He had to deal with the poison in his body first.
As he entered the state of cultivation, Xiao Yuan's mind also fell silent to his lower abdomen. As his mind moved slightly, a wisp of black and white flames was spit out from the spirit and curled up in the Dantian.
He stared at the continuously churning black and white flames. After a long time, under Xiao Yuan's control, the black and white flames suddenly surged, and the temperature suddenly increased. As its temperature increased, a faint black mist appeared. , slowly condensed in the center of the flame.
"What a fierce branding poison. Not only can it withstand the terrifying temperature of the strange fire, but it can also blend in silently. If you are not alert in advance, it may be difficult to detect it. It is indeed a poison that even the powerful Dou Huang is afraid of. ”
Staring at the black mist, Xiao Yuan murmured in his heart.
In fact, there is another benefit to detoxifying Nalan Jie. This poison has been latent in Nalan Jie's body for a long time. When it erodes his body on weekdays, it will occasionally swallow up some fighting energy. Over time, a lot of it is stored. Fighting.
This was naturally a very unpleasant thing for Nalan Jie, but for Xiao Yuan who had brought the branding poison into his body, it was a windfall!
If he wasn't worried that Nalan Jie would notice something was wrong, and if he was worried that if the poison accumulated in his body too much, it would be difficult to deal with it, or even capsize in the gutter, Xiao Yuan would have even wanted to get all the poison in Nalan Jie's body directly. within one's own body. Maybe you can take this opportunity to refine the fighting spirit in it and advance to the next level.
However, in the current detoxification process, the branded poison that has been fused into the strange fire is, after all, only a small part of it. The amount of fighting energy contained in it may indeed be quite a lot for an ordinary great fighting master, but for someone with five Qi mansions, For Xiao Yuan, it can only be regarded as speeding up some cultivation.
"It would be a pity if it were purified like this. It would be better to concentrate it. When encountering a difficult enemy in the future, just give him a blow."
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yuan raised a sinister smile on his lips, and immediately his mind moved slightly. The black and white flames wrapped in black mist fluctuated like boiling, and its temperature became more and more terrifying.
Speaking of which, the reason why this branding poison can be integrated into the strange fire is actually because when he expelled the poison from Nalan Jie before, because he was afraid of accidentally burning it to ashes, Xiao Yuan only turned the temperature of the strange fire to It was a relatively mild level, but it was so painful that Nalan Jie's body couldn't help but tremble slightly even though he tried his best to control it.
But in his own body, Xiao Yuan naturally cannot be harmed by the alien fire that has been swallowed and refined for a long time, so the alien fire heats up, which feels quite unscrupulous. Soon, the temperature of the alien fire It has reached a point where even the strong Dou Wang will change his expression.
As the temperature of the black and white flames rose rapidly, the black mist began to ripple. Then, Xiao Yuan's somewhat spiritual soul power surged out, turning the strange fire into a black and white flame dragon. Volume, wrapped in black mist, while separating Nalan Jie's fighting spirit from the poison, while controlling the strange fire, suppressing the poison, and gradually forming it.
A moment later, under the control of Xiao Yuan, the volume of the black mist slowly shrank. A moment later, the black mist gradually condensed and turned into a deep black bead, shining with an icy cold light. You can tell at a glance , it must be highly poisonous!
In the outer circle of the black and white flame tornado, a relatively powerful fighting spirit turned into a circular light blue energy band, which looked quite strange.
However, Xiao Yuan was not too surprised by this. After all, this was far from the energy in Haibodong's body.
Fortunately, Yaolao's opportunity gave Xiao Yuan better control over the soul power, so after all this trouble, the soul power is still full.
Therefore, Xiao Yuan also struck while the iron was hot, and directly changed the seal in his hand. While running the Dou Qi technique, the inner circle of the flame tornado shrank smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black and white flame film with flowing brilliance, sealing the poison. inside; and the flames in the outer ring directly wrapped the circular light blue energy belt, gradually refining and concentrating it, turning it into pure energy, and then sent it into the meridians.
Time passes slowly in this practice.
When Xiao Yuan finished practicing, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire room through the wooden windows. What he saw were basically warm colors mainly orange, which made people feel a lot more relaxed.
"Huh!" After letting out a breath of turbid air, Xiao Yuan jumped off the bed, feeling the fighting energy filling his body, and said thoughtfully, "Within a month, I will definitely be able to advance to the three-star level of fighting master."
It's almost time. It's time to change into decent clothes and go to the dinner in Nalan Mansion.
As soon as the thought in his mind flashed, Xiao Yuan directly called the maid. Under her service, he took care of himself, then walked out of the house unhurriedly, facing Nalan who was diagonally opposite. Go to the mansion gate.
Since he was attending a dinner, Xiao Yuan, who loves white clothes, chose a slim-fitting dress with a white background and gold thread, with a light luxury style. A white jade hairpin was inserted into the crown, and his long black hair fell down his shoulders. On the back, there are two locks of fine hair hanging down on both sides of the forehead. They are noble but not vulgar, and have an extraordinary temperament.
There were quite a few people passing by who came to attend the dinner. They were a little curious when they saw that the Xiao Mansion had changed its owner. But now they were a little more surprised when they saw such an unusual noble man walking out. .
Even the royal family members of the imperial capital and the children of the big families can't compare to this unparalleled beauty and extraordinary temperament.
Xiao Yuan ignored the strange looks from these people and entered Nalan Mansion with an indifferent expression.
The guards at the door seemed to have been ordered to do so. When Xiao Yuan entered Nalan Mansion, not only did he not stop him or question him, but he bowed and saluted as if he were seeing his own young master.
At this time, the sky had become dark, but the lights in Nalan Mansion were still brightly lit, and clan members were walking through the courtyard, just like a market in the morning.
Casually dismissing the maid who was about to lead the way, Xiao Yuan followed yesterday's route to the hall with ease.
In the spacious hall, there were bursts of noise and laughter, mixed with some music. If you look closely, you will see that there are many people sitting in it, talking and laughing with each other.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan saw at a glance Yafei, who was wearing a red slim-fitting cheongsam and a snow-white fox fur shawl, which added a bit of elegance to her. Her graceful and charming curves and mature charm made the hall full of excitement. The eyes of many men were attracted.
Perhaps because of the close contact last night, Yafei was keenly aware of Xiao Yuan's gaze and immediately looked over. Then she showed a sweet smile, got up and walked over.
Xiao Yuan also showed a soft smile when he saw this, and entered the hall with three steps and two steps at a time.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, you are finally here."
Yafei blinked, smiled playfully, and held Xiao Yuan's arm.
"I have kept Sister Yafei waiting for a long time. I have been practicing for a while just now."
Xiao Yuan smiled apologetically, patted the back of Yafei's soft little hand holding his arm, and said softly.
"Haha, the great elder is here too, but he has already gone to catch up with Mr. Nalan. You come with me."
Ya Fei smiled casually when she heard this, then pulled Xiao Yuan back to her seat and sat down together.
Naturally, she would not care about such trivial matters with Xiao Yuan.
Previously, many people in the hall had their eyes fixed on Ya Fei. Now seeing how close Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei were, some were heartbroken, others were shocked, and some were already considering Xiao Yuan's identity.
But they couldn't see anything, they just felt that this man had a good skin, and his temperament was quite extraordinary, but his strength seemed so weak that there was no fighting spirit in his body?
It can't be said that this person's strength has far exceeded theirs, so he can't sense it, right? What kind of strength is that? Could such a young guy be a strong man at the level of a great fighter?
impossible?
"Reminiscing about old times? I don't think so?"
Xiao Yuan smiled thoughtfully and said.
"Haha, it seems you have guessed it, but what can we do? If the Nalan family doesn't cherish you, is it possible that we, the Miter family, don't treat you as a treasure?"
Yafei said with a smile upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons, she was obviously very happy.
"Haha, then I'm really flattered."
Xiao Yuan also grinned when he heard this and said with a smile.
In the corner of the hall, Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yuan who was chatting and laughing with Yafei, her mouth was slightly pouted, and then she glanced coldly at the guy in front of her, frowned, and said rather irritably: "I I’m not interested in you, so don’t bother me again.”
After saying that, Nalan Yanran quickly walked towards the direction of Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei, then smiled sweetly and said: "Master Xiao is finally here. You are the protagonist of this banquet!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly looked suspicious. Is this kid still the protagonist of this banquet?
Looking at Nalan Yanran in front of him, who was wearing the wide-sleeved moon-white dress that Yunlan Sect disciples could only wear just now, Xiao Yuan's smile faded a bit. Why did Nalan Yanran become so expressionless?
He had to choose a time when he and Yafei were chatting happily to come up and be an eyesore.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, we're here!"
Following a soft voice, two figures walked into the hall one after another.
? ? ?
Hearing this, both Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei looked at the door in shock, and saw a beautiful girl who seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Yan.
She was wearing a purple dress with silver patterns. Her delicate appearance, influenced by the royal family, revealed a hint of innate nobility. Her slender waist was tied with a purple belt. , which shows off that small waist to the fullest.
But what's interesting is that her watery eyes flashed with an eccentric smile, which somewhat destroyed the original noble royal temperament, making her look like a playful and ordinary young lady from a wealthy family.
Beside him was Xiao Yan, who was wearing the black robe of an alchemist.
"Brother, Sister Yafei."
Xiao Yan greeted with some helplessness. As for Nalan Yanran on the side, he simply ignored her.
"Eh? Sister Yafei, do you know her?"
The pretty girl blinked and asked in confusion.
"This is the little princess of the royal family." Ya Fei turned her head and introduced Xiao Yuan, then greeted her with a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect the little princess to come with brother Xiao Yan."
Hearing this, the little princess looked at Xiao Yuan and asked with some curiosity: "Who is this?"
"Haha, I'm Xiao Yuan, Ya Fei's fiancé and Xiao Yan's third brother."
Xiao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands.
"Oh, are you the one that Sister Yafei can't forget? You are indeed very handsome! Oh, you look a lot like Xiao Yan too!"
A stream of words kept popping out of the little princess's mouth, leaving Xiao Yuan and the other three speechless for a while.
"Hey, Xiao Yan did very well in the internal test of the Alchemist Guild this time. He is better than me. As his brother, are you better than him?"
The little princess then asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan cast an inquiring gaze on Xiao Yan.
In response, Xiao Yan innocently spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
He didn't want to come either, but the little princess kept fussing all the way without changing her face. She was like a little sister. It was not easy for him to argue with others, not to mention that coming to Nalan Mansion might not be a bad thing. , just in time to show the people in Nalan Mansion, everyone in the Xiao family is not mediocre!
"Haha, I don't know how to refine medicine. If it comes to refining medicine, Xiao Yan can be my teacher. I'm just better at fighting."
When Xiao Yuan saw this, he also knew that Xiao Yan actually didn't like such noisy occasions. When he came to Nalan Mansion this time, he probably took this opportunity to help him stand up. After all, the Miter family was here. It makes no sense that Xiao Yan, his biological brother, is not here.
"Oh, what level are you at? How powerful are you? Why don't you show me your skills?"
the little princess asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and was about to speak, but Xiao Yuan beat him to it and said:
"Haha, little princess, you might as well take a guess."
"Hey, little princess, today is a banquet at Nalan Mansion."
Seeing this, Ya Fei quickly reminded her.
"Oh, yes, we'll talk about it later! Sister Nalan, long time no see!"
The little princess nodded when she heard this, and quickly walked towards Nalan Yanran who had been standing aside for a long time.
Hearing this, a somewhat forced smile appeared on Nalan Yanran's face and she said, "Yes, long time no see!"
Seeing this situation, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
