The third day.
Nalan Jie came over early in the morning.
Clearly, he couldn't wait to rid his body of all the Brand Poison.
"Master Zhang."
Nalan Jie greeted respectfully.
Su Yun nodded.
"Let's begin."
Nalan Jie took off his shirt and mentally prepared himself.
Su Yun clapped his right hand, and the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire entered his body. Even though he had gone through this twice, it was still excruciatingly painful.
Nalan Jie felt the terrifying heat within his body and didn't dare to make a sound or move.
An hour passed, and Nalan Jie collapsed again.
Su Yun withdrew the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
He had a precise grasp on the fire's intensity and had taken precautions to protect himself, so he didn't experience the same issue as Xiao Yan, where the Brand Poison entered his body.
Nalan Jie struggled to get up and thanked Su Yun.
"Thank you, Master Zhang, for removing the poison from my body. From now on, Master Zhang will be a lifelong friend of the Nalan Family.
If you ever need anything, just let me know, and I, Nalan Jie, will not hesitate to help."
Seeing Nalan Jie's solemn promise, Su Yun sneered inwardly.
This old man was just talking big.
Xiao Yan had removed the poison for him under the guise of Yan Xiao, and he had made similar promises.
Then what happened?
When Xiao Yan's identity was exposed at the Yunlam Sect's three-year agreement, not only did he not offer any help, but he even hoped that Xiao Yan would be detained by the Yunlam Sect.
The psychological description at that time had really disgusted him.
The same went for the incident where Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement.
After the engagement was broken, Nalan Jie only threw a tantrum and didn't even send someone to apologize to the Xiao Family or try to mend the relationship.
In essence, it was just a matter of saving face. He might have even secretly cheered for Nalan Yanran's decision to break the engagement.
Although he thought this way, Su Yun still smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Elder, you are too kind."
This treatment was just a transaction. He had already refined the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva and didn't want to have too much contact with the Nalan Family.
Su Yun exchanged a few polite words and then saw Nalan Jie off.
Outside the Miter Family's gate, Nalan Jie felt his weakened but relieved body and sighed.
This Master Zhang was indeed a young prodigy. Just from this skill, his alchemy should be even better than Pill King Gu He.
Nalan Jie speculated.
He just didn't understand the secrets of alchemists.
With the possession of a strange fire, any second-rank alchemist could remove the Brand Poison from his body.
Although, Su Yun's alchemy skills were indeed stronger than Pill King Gu He's.
It was a pity about the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva.
Nalan Jie still felt a bit regretful.
Back then, he had suffered the Brand Poison to obtain the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva.
In the end, he had to pay the price of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva to remove the Brand Poison.
Rise and fall, everything has its destiny.
Inside the Miter Family.
Hai Bo Dong handed Su Yun a Storage Ring.
"All the Beast Cores collected by the Miter Family during this period are in here."
Su Yun took it and saw the hundreds of densely packed Beast Cores inside, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you."
"Mm."
Hai Bo Dong nodded and added.
"As for the herbs you mentioned, we couldn't find them."
Su Yun frowned but didn't say anything.
When he returned from the Alchemist Guild, he had instructed the Miter Family to find a few herbs.
These herbs were needed to refine the sixth-rank Earth Spirit Pill.
These herbs were quite precious and rare, so it was normal not to find them in just a few days.
"No problem. There's still some time before the Jia Nan Academy's admission this year. Try your best to find them, but it's fine if you can't."
Su Yun's frown relaxed as he spoke to Hai Bo Dong.
"Also, don't forget to keep collecting Beast Cores."
Hai Bo Dong nodded.
Su Yun thought for a moment and took out a sheepskin scroll from the system space, handing it to Hai Bo Dong.
"What is this?"
Hai Bo Dong looked at the scroll in his hand, puzzled.
"Why don't you open it and see for yourself, Elder Hai."
Su Yun smiled faintly, leaving a small teaser.
Hai Bo Dong opened the scroll directly, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
Low-Class Earth Rank Technique, Nine Nether Frost Decision!
"For me?!"
Hai Bo Dong looked incredulous.
Su Yun nodded.
"We'll be heading to the Black Horn Region soon. You need to improve your strength. If you die over there, there won't be anyone to help me."
Su Yun chuckled, teasing a bit.
Hai Bo Dong rarely retorted, his eyes shining as he tightly held the scroll, as if it were his wife.
"It's just a Low-Class Earth Rank Technique. Work hard, and there will be better ones in the future."
Su Yun watched Hai Bo Dong's reaction, his lips twitching slightly, and then he returned to his room.
After Su Yun left, Hai Bo Dong finally came to his senses and put the scroll into his Storage Ring.
He was amazed. What kind of background did this kid have to be so generous?
Hai Bo Dong became even more curious about the forces behind Su Yun.
He naturally understood that this was the reward for collecting Beast Cores for Su Yun.
He had made the right decision.
Hai Bo Dong felt even more confident about his choice.
Su Yun returned to his room, placed all the Beast Cores from the Storage Ring into the system space, and carefully examined them.
There were about a hundred first and second-rank Beast Cores, over forty third-rank Beast Cores, over thirty fourth-rank Beast Cores, and two fifth-rank Beast Cores.
One of the fifth-rank Beast Cores was fire-attribute.
Su Yun's eyes lit up. This was good; he could upgrade again.
Su Yun first scanned all the Beast Cores to create a backup for the exchange function, in case of emergencies.
Then he used the system's fusion function.
"System, fuse Dying Sun with the fifth-rank fire-attribute Beast Core!"
"Ding, fusion plan detected. One fifth-rank energy crystal or one fifth-rank Beast Core is required. Do you wish to proceed with the fusion?"
"Fusion!"
In the system space, the two fifth-rank Beast Cores disappeared, and Dying Sun's blade glowed brightly.
After some time, a brand-new Dying Sun appeared in Su Yun's hand.
Su Yun examined the fiery red long sword in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
A fifth-rank Beast Core sword could barely handle the power of the Intermediate Earth Rank Technique 'Flowing Flame Dragon Slash'.
After playing with Dying Sun for a while, Su Yun put it back into the system space.
Looking at the abundant Beast Cores, Su Yun began to study martial techniques.
His Burning Cold Decision had three states: fire, ice, and ice-fire coexistence.
However, he rarely used the ice-fire coexistence state, which was the most powerful.
The reason was the martial techniques.
Fire-attribute and ice-attribute martial techniques were simple, but there was no way to handle dual-attribute techniques.
After so many years of development in the Martial Arts Continent, dual-attribute ice-fire martial techniques might have existed.
However, they might have been lost in the long river of history.
He had nowhere to look for them, so he had to create them himself.
Of course, this creation would definitely use the system's fusion function to combine two martial techniques.
Creating something from scratch was impossible.
