Chapter 169, Dan Family's Request, Nine Nether Cold Poison"Mr. Xiao, welcome!" The person who came out to greet him was a noble lady, dressed in luxurious yet unostentatious clothes. Although her face had many wrinkles, her skin tone was well maintained. The saying “time never defeats beauty” describes the lady before us. Moreover, the woman is 60% similar to Danchen next to her, so she is probably Danchen's mother. "My name is Dan Yunqiu, the current head of the Dan family, and also Chen'er's mother." "Hello, Master Dan." Xiao Li shook hands with her. Xiao Li entered the hall, enthusiastically embraced by Dan Yunqiu and others. As the champion of this year's Alchemy Conference, Xiao Li's identity and strength are naturally beyond doubt, and it is worthy for the Alchemy family to receive him with such grand ceremony. "I wonder if there is something that Master Dan wants me to do today?" Xiao Li went straight to the point, not wanting to waste too much time. Seeing him being so direct, Dan Yunqiu didn't care and said with a smile: "I heard from Chen'er that you helped her a lot when she was in the Dan Realm, so I invited Master Xiao to come this time to thank you for your help to Chen'er."
"It's just a little effort." Dan Chen was sitting next to Dan Yunqiu. When Xiao Li looked over, she would shyly turn her eyes away, not daring to look Xiao Li in the eye. This is Danchen's personality, she is gentle and timid and easily gets shy in front of strangers. Although her relationship with Xiao Li could no longer be described as strangers, they were not very familiar with each other either. But you still have to maintain the necessary reserve. "It's just a piece of cake for Mr. Xiao, but it's a favor to us." "So we have also prepared a thank-you gift for Master Xiao. I hope you won't despise it." As he spoke, Dan Yunqiu took out a thick stack of scrolls from his storage ring and used a soft force to send them to Xiao Li. "This records some of the alchemy experience our Dan family has accumulated over the years. Although it may not be of much use to Mr. Xiao who just won the championship, it is also our token of our appreciation." Dan Yunqiu said. Alchemy experience? This kind of thing is in short supply. For an alchemist, his own experience is the most valuable asset. There are so many alchemists on the mainland, and everyone has refined different elixirs, different refining methods, and encountered different situations. Every alchemist has his own summary of experience, which is priceless. Especially for some novice alchemists, the experience of an old alchemist is enough to help them avoid many detours on this road. The experience that Dan Yunqiu gave was not the experience summarized by one or two or three or four alchemists, but the experience summarized by everyone in the entire Dan family over the years. The value of it is priceless. Although Xiao Li is now considered an eighth-grade alchemist, he is not able to refine all kinds of elixirs, nor will he not fail.
This stack of scrolls is very heavy. "Although I saved Danchen, this thank-you gift is too expensive." "If I'm not mistaken... Patriarch Dan should have other things to do." Xiao Li is not the kind of fool who would not take advantage of an opportunity. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is taking advantage, so how could there not be other traps? "Mr. Xiao is indeed very discerning. I can't hide it from you." Dan Yunqiu said with a smile. "I invited Master Xiao here this time because I really want to ask for his help." "Of course, this matter is not difficult for Mr. Xiao." She even started getting vaccinations in advance. Although Xiao Li didn't believe what she said. But since he was already here, and the thank-you gift from Dan Yunqiu was quite large, Xiao Li just listened to her talk. "Please speak, Master Dan." "Actually, this matter is related to Chen'er. Chen'er has been weak and sickly since she was young, and there is a deadly poison called 'Nine Nether Cold Poison' in her body, which is constantly corroding her body." "The Nine Nether Cold Poison is the coldest poison in the world. There is no medicine to cure it. The only way is to use the strange fire to expel the cold poison from her body." "Moreover, ordinary strange fire is useless. It must be a strange fire in the top ten of the strange fire list to be effective." "Looking across the entire Central Plains today, the only one of the top ten strange fires we know of is the Three Thousand Flames. Unfortunately, no one has been able to tame the Three Thousand Flames over the years." "Now that Master Xiao has subdued the Three Thousand Flames, we see hope. Therefore, I would like to ask Master Xiao to save Chen'er." Dan Yunqiu stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Li. "Master Dan, there is no need to be so polite." Xiao Li quickly helped her up. The fact that the head of the Dan family personally saluted him was enough to show how much importance she attached to this matter. "Please, Mr. Xiao, save Chen'er!" Dan Yunqiu requested solemnly again. "Okay, I agree." Xiao Li had no choice but to agree. "Really? Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Dan Yunqiu was overjoyed and pulled Dan Chen over. "Chen'er, why don't you thank Master Xiao quickly?" "Thank you, Mr. Xiao..." Dan Chen lowered his head and spoke softly. sounds so good. "Let's understand the situation first. I have never heard of the Nine Nether Cold Poison." Xiao Li said. "The Nine Nether Cold Poison is essentially a deadly poison derived from the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. It is a deadly poison from the same origin as their 'Emperor Python Heart-Eroding Poison'." "Although the Nine Nether Cold Poison is weaker than the Emperor Python's Heart-Eroding Poison, it is extremely difficult to deal with and there is no antidote." "Back then, I was injured by a Dou Zun peak warrior from the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, and was invaded by the Nine Nether Cold Poison." "At that time, I was already pregnant with Chen'er. After giving birth to Chen'er, the Nine Nether Cold Poison entered her body, causing her to be weak all these years." Dan Yunqiu showed a look of guilt on his face.
As a mother, she felt very guilty for having implicated her child because of her own mistakes. "Mother, this is not your fault." Dan Chen held Dan Yunqiu's hand and comforted her. She never blamed Dan Yunqiu. After hearing these words, Xiao Li roughly understood the whole story. Even though Dan Chen was suffering from the cold poison, he still had such a high talent for alchemy. It's surprising indeed. "Then let me take a look at the Nine Nether Cold Poison in Miss Danchen's body first." Xiao Li said. "Well, thank you for your help, Mr. Xiao." Dan Chen nodded, came and sat down next to Xiao Li, and stretched out a piece of snow-white wrist. Xiao Li placed his finger on it and sent a strand of soul power into Dan Chen's body. As soon as his soul power entered, he felt an icy chill - Dan Chen's body was like a huge ice cave, filled with bone-chilling cold. Her meridians and blood were filled with a lingering coldness. "What a horrible cold..." If it were a normal person, he would have been frozen into an ice man by this cold air. The reason why Dan Chen was able to hold on was not only because of her own strength, but also because the Dan family had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of means to help Dan Chen hold on. This is a cold poison that even the three giants of Danta cannot deal with. The only way now is the Three Thousand Flames in Xiao Li’s body! …… (End of this chapter)
