Chapter 180: seven illusory azure spirit saliva
Mu Yang skillfully ignited a cluster of cyan flames on his fingertip, and before he could speak, Nalan Su exclaimed in surprise:
"The temperature of this beast flame is incredibly high; it must be above Tier 6!"
"...This is an Otherworldly Flame."
Mu Yang's tone carried a hint of exasperation. Considering that Nalan Su was neither an alchemist nor possessed fire-attribute Dou Qi, he didn't find it strange.
Although Otherworldly Flames are renowned, very few people have actually seen them, so it's normal not to recognize one.
"Please, Your Excellency Blazing Sun, lend us your assistance. If you succeed, my Nalan family will greatly reward you!"
Nalan Su seemed to have no doubt that Mu Yang was telling the truth. It wasn't trust, but rather that he could vaguely sense the extraordinary nature of the cyan flame; he just hadn't dared to think of the legendary Otherworldly Flame at first.
Even if it were false, it wouldn't matter. Many people had tried to detoxify General Nalan Jie these past days, but no one had succeeded, so failure wouldn't lead to any consequences.
"Mm."
Side Quest: Detoxification
Difficulty Level: LV.7 ~ Lv.10
Quest Description: General Nalan Jie was injured by a Branding Poison Python several years ago. The poison erupted half a year ago, and he is now on the verge of death.
Quest Information: Use an Otherworldly Flame to clear the Branding Poison and resolve the illness. Quest Duration: Within five natural days.
Quest Reward: Nalan family's remuneration + 2 attribute points.
Quest Penalty: All attributes -1, Nalan family's favorability reduced by 200 points.
Accept/Decline
"Accept."
Mu Yang hadn't expected to unexpectedly trigger a side quest, which meant he would gain two attribute points for free—a huge profit!
Led by Nalan Su, Mu Yang arrived at the room where General Nalan Jiewas recuperating.
Currently, General Nalan Jie was tormented by the Branding Poison, sometimes conscious, sometimes comatose. He was so thin that only bones remained, clearly critically ill, and likely wouldn't last much longer.
"How is it?"
After Mu Yang briefly examined General Nalan Jie's condition, Nalan Suanxiously asked.
Mu Yang might be the only person in the entire Gama Empire with an Otherworldly Flame. If even he couldn't help, his father might truly be beyond cure.
"His physical condition isn't ideal. I can't say I have a 100% certainty for the treatment, probably only 97%."
Mu Yang's current control over fire elements far surpassed that of a normal Dou Sovereign. Master-level was more than just a little stronger than proficient-level.
The missing 0.3% was due to General Nalan Jie's physical condition; otherwise, he could guarantee a complete cure.
"Only nine... Wait, 97%? Then I'll entrust him to Your Excellency Blazing Sun! As long as you can cure my father, not a single cent of the publicly known reward will be withheld!"
Nalan Su didn't react immediately at first, but upon learning of such a high success rate, he was overjoyed.
"Alright, without further ado, let's begin the treatment."
No preparation was needed, other than for Nalan Su to prepare tonics for the patient once he awoke.
A wisp of cyan flame was sent into General Nalan Jie's body by Mu Yang. He, who had been completely unresponsive to the outside world, suddenly trembled violently.
Mu Yang controlled the flame to pass through the meridians, finally reaching the bones in the patient's body that had been corroded by the Branding Poison.
As the flame's temperature slowly rose and the detoxification progressed, General Nalan Jie, who had been numb to pain, suddenly regained his senses.
His withered hands clenched, and veins bulged on his arms, showing how difficult the process was.
After the flame reached a critical point, General Nalan Jie cried out in pain, about to awaken, but Mu Yang knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
"Your Excellency, this...?"
Nalan Su looked bewildered. What just happened?
"Moving around might disrupt the treatment's effectiveness."
Mu Yang casually explained. In truth, he was simply too lazy to exchange pleasantries with General Nalan Jie.
As time slowly passed, Mu Yang not only detoxified but also used his newly developed healing ability to treat General Nalan Jie's injuries. As a result, the latter's condition improved at a visible rate.
Half an hour later, Mu Yang retracted the flame, his expression calm, not even a single bead of sweat on his brow.
"Cured?"
"No, there's still a small portion left. But General Nalan's body cannot endure any more, so we will continue the treatment tomorrow."
Perhaps it was due to the extreme purity of Mu Yang's flame, or some other special aspect, but the Branding Poison showed no tendency to rebound onto him; it was completely purified by the flame.
"Thank you! Please, Your Excellency Blazing Sun, wait a moment in the reception hall. I will immediately present the reward with both hands."
Nalan Su was decisive, intending to give Mu Yang the reward immediately, unafraid that he might be bluffing.
"No need. It's not too late to give it after General Nalan has fully recovered."
"Alright."
The next day, after the second detoxification, General Nalan Jierecovered as expected.
He was not only able to walk immediately but his mental state had also greatly improved.
Side Quest: Detoxification, Completed. Reward received: Nalan family's remuneration + 2 attribute points.
"Your Excellency, this is the reward we promised."
Taking the storage ring Nalan Su handed over, Mu Yang briefly scanned it. Besides gold coins, most were pills and medicinal ingredients. The seven illusory azure spirit saliva was undoubtedly the most valuable among them.
Not only was its grade high, but it was also related to the soul.
However, unfortunately, its greatest effect was healing soul injuries; increasing soul strength was merely a side effect and not significant.
If one were to use the seven illusory azure spirit saliva solely to enhance soul strength, it would be akin to fighting enemies on a battlefield just to lose weight.
Although the analogy wasn't perfectly apt, the meaning was clear—it was unnecessary, as there were other, better methods.
After storing the storage ring in his inventory, Mu Yang waved goodbye to Nalan Su.
He had only come for the seven illusory azure spirit saliva; everything else was secondary.
Leaving the Nalan family's mansion, Mu Yang went to the Alchemist Guild. After completing the first detoxification yesterday, he had entrusted a Tier 4 alchemist to refine fire-attribute medicinal ingredients into pills suitable for magical beasts.
Due to the fame brought by his initial identity, this person agreed, though it certainly came with a fee.
"Thank you."
After settling the final payment, Mu Yang left the Alchemist Guild with several jade bottles.
He actually wanted to try if the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill and the Three-Pattern Cyan Spirit Pill were effective for him, but he could only gather one set of the necessary ingredients, and those few Tier 4 alchemists couldn't guarantee their success.
As for the Dou Spirit Pill and the Imperial Extreme Pill, they were out of the question.
The former was a peak Tier 5 pill, and in the entire Gama Empire, only Gu He could refine it, and his success rate was very low.
The latter was a peak Tier 6 pill, and there were very few alchemists in the entire Northwestern Region who could refine it.
Mu Yang now understood the preciousness of alchemists. He could, of course, become an alchemist himself, but learning too much could easily lead to disarray, so he dismissed that idea.
However, he was very curious: why was a pill that could help a Dou Sovereign break through one or two stars called the Imperial Extreme Pill, while a pill with the same effect, but for Dou Kings, was called the Dou Spirit Pill and not the King Extreme Pill?
He took out the World Instrument and checked it. There were less than 5 days left until the barrier suppressing his combat power would shatter.
And in five days, regardless of whether he had finished his current tasks, Mu Yang planned to leave, and indeed, had to leave.
