Chapter 126

After sending Ya Fei away, Xiao Yuan calmed down and went back to his bedroom. After telling the maid not to disturb him, he took off his shoes, sat 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 practice, Xiao Yuan's mind also settled in his lower abdomen. As his mind moved slightly, a wisp of black and white flame was spewed out from the soul, rising from the dantian.

His mind was watching the churning black and white flame. After a long time, under Xiao Yuan's control, the black and white flame suddenly churned and the temperature suddenly rose. As the temperature rose, a faint black mist slowly condensed in the center of the flame.

"What a fierce branding poison. Not only can it resist the terrifying temperature of the strange fire, but it can also merge into it silently. If it weren't for the early warning, it would be difficult to detect. It is indeed a poison that even Douhuang strongmen are afraid of."

Staring at the black mist, Xiao Yuan murmured in his heart.

There is actually another benefit to removing the poison from Nalan Jie. This branding poison has been lurking in Nalan Jie's body for a long time. When it erodes his body on weekdays, it occasionally devours some Dou Qi. Over time, it has stored a lot of Dou Qi.

This is naturally a very unpleasant thing for Nalan Jie, but for Xiao Yuan, who brought the branding poison into his body, it can be called a windfall!

If it weren't for the worry that Nalan Jie would notice something wrong, and the worry that the branding poison would accumulate too much in the body and would be difficult to handle, or even capsize in the gutter, Xiao Yuan would even want to directly get all the branding poison in Nalan Jie's body into his own body. Maybe he can take this opportunity to refine the Dou Qi in it and advance again.

However, in the process of removing poison at present, the brand poison integrated into the strange fire is only a small part of it. The amount of Dou Qi contained in it may be indeed not small for ordinary great Dou masters, but for Xiao Yuan, who has five Qi Palaces, it can only be regarded as speeding up the cultivation speed.

"If it is purified at this point, it would be a pity. It is better to condense it and directly attack him when encountering a difficult enemy in the future."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yuan raised a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and then his mind moved slightly. The black and white flames wrapped in black mist began to fluctuate like boiling, and its temperature became more and more terrifying.

Speaking of which, the reason why this brand poison can be integrated into the strange fire is actually because when he was removing poison from Nalan Jie before, he was afraid of accidentally burning him to ashes, so Xiao Yuan's strange fire temperature was only opened to a relatively mild level, which made Nalan Jie so painful that his body couldn't help but tremble slightly even if he tried his best to control it.

But when it came to his body, Xiao Yuan naturally could not be hurt by the strange fire that had been devoured and refined for a long time, so he heated up the strange fire with a sense of recklessness. Soon, the temperature of the strange fire reached a level that would make the Dou Wang strongman change his face.

As the temperature of the black and white flames rose rapidly, the black mist began to ripple. Then, Xiao Yuan's soul power with some spirituality surged out, turning the strange fire into a black and white flame tornado, wrapped in black mist, while separating Nalan Jie's Dou Qi from the branding poison, while controlling the strange fire, suppressing the branding poison, and gradually forming it.

After a while, under the control of the high temperature Xiao Yuan, the volume of the black mist slowly shrank. After a while, the black mist gradually gathered and condensed, turning into a deep black bead, flashing a cold light. At a glance, it was known that it must be highly toxic!

In the outer circle of the black and white flame tornado, a fairly powerful fighting spirit turned into a circular light blue energy band, which looked quite strange.

However, Xiao Yuan was not surprised by this, after all, it was far from the energy in Hai Bodong's body.

Fortunately, the opportunity of Yao Lao gave Xiao Yuan a better control over his soul power, so after all this tossing, his soul power was still full.

So, Xiao Yuan also struck while the iron was hot, and directly changed the seal in his hand. While running the fighting spirit technique, the inner circle of the flame tornado shrank smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black and white, shining flame film, sealing the brand poison in it; and the outer circle of the flame directly wrapped the circular light blue energy band, gradually refined and concentrated it, and after turning it into pure energy, it was sent into the meridians.

Time passed slowly during this practice.

When Xiao Yuan finished his practice, the afterglow of the sunset shone through the wooden window and filled the whole room. What he saw was basically warm orange and yellow tones, which made people feel much more relaxed.

"Huh!" After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Yuan jumped off the bed, feeling the full fighting spirit in his body, and said thoughtfully, "Within a month, I will definitely be able to advance to a three-star master."

It's almost time, it's time to change into a decent outfit and attend the dinner at the Nalan Mansion.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Yuan directly called the maid. After taking care of his whole body with her service, he walked out of the house slowly and walked towards the gate of the Nalan Mansion diagonally opposite.

Since he was attending a dinner party, Xiao Yuan, who loved white clothes, chose a slim-fitting dress with a white base and gold thread, which had a light luxury style. He wore a white jade hairpin on his head. His long black hair fell on his shoulders, and two strands of fine hair fell on both sides of his forehead. He looked noble and not vulgar, and had 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 clansmen 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, Ya Fei was keenly aware of Xiao Yuan's gaze and immediately looked over. Then she showed a sweet smile, got up and walked straight over.

When Xiao Yuan saw this, he also showed a soft smile 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 kept you waiting for a long time, Sister Yafei. I just practiced for a while."

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 brightly 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 that the little princess would come here 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 saw the smile in each other's eyes.
