Xiao Xue nodded and turned to Nalan Su nearby, "Uncle Nalan, I must ask you to step away for a moment."
Nalan Su nodded slightly upon hearing this and retreated to the side.
Xiao Xue sat cross-legged behind Nalan Jie, her palm resting on his back. Closing her eyes, her Soul Power surged out of her body like lightning.
With the extension of her Soul Power, the condition inside Nalan Jie's body appeared in Xiao Xue's mind.
After checking the situation within, Xiao Xue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Nalan Jie's current level of poisoning wasn't too deep yet; it hadn't reached the bones.
Clearly, while he was still able to suppress the brand poison, Nalan Jie was also doing his best to prevent it from entering the marrow.
The current brand poison had only tainted his flesh; even without a Heavenly Flame, Xiao Xue could completely cure it.
Xiao Xue took out several Medicinal Pills and handed them to Nalan Jie, "Old Master, eat these. I'm about to begin the treatment."
Those few pills were useless for detoxification or healing, but they were one of the pills Xiao Xue kept most readily available.
In modern medical terms, those pills were "anesthetics," quite a bit more Advanced than the typical painkillers on the continent.
Nalan Jie didn't doubt her; he took the pills, tossed them directly into his mouth, and then sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
Xiao Xue said softly, "Old Master, I'm going to start removing the poison."
"During the process of poison removal, there might be some itching and numbing sensations. Please be sure not to use your Qi to resist."
With Xiao Xue's current strength, opponents with a Rank lower than hers, or even at the same level, would likely be sucked into a dried corpse if they encountered her Suction Palm.
However, Nalan Jie was a Dou Wang after all, more than two major Realms higher than the current Xiao Xue.
If he used his Qi to resist the Suction Palm, Xiao Xue would probably be unable to treat him at all.
Nalan Jie nodded and laughed heartily, "Don't worry, girl, just go ahead and do it!"
Xiao Xue nodded, and then, placing her palm against Nalan Jie's back, she willed it, and the Suction Palm was directly activated.
Nalan Jie felt as if countless ants were crawling inside his body, but he forcibly suppressed all the discomfort.
As time passed, wisps of black mist slowly drifted out from Nalan Jie's back.
Then, before they could escape, they were inconspicuously sucked into an idle storage ring by Xiao Xue.
This brand poison was something even a Dou Huang wouldn't dare to touch lightly; Xiao Xue naturally wouldn't use her own body as a "transfer station" to contain it.
Conveniently, she still had idle storage rings on hand; using them to store the mist of the brand poison was perfectly suitable.
Slowly, as time went on, the mist inside the storage ring condensed into a few drops of black toxic liquid.
By this time, Xiao Xue was also gradually becoming a bit fatigued.
Performing the Suction Palm with such high precision for such a long time was quite a significant burden for her.
Xiao Xue stopped the treatment and raised her hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from her forehead, "Old Master, let's end today's treatment here."
"Based on the current situation, it will only take three days for the brand poison to be completely removed."
Nalan Jie slowly opened his eyes. Compared to before, his face had already become much more ruddy.
Clearly, this treatment session had been quite effective for him.
Nalan Jie and Nalan Su's faces showed joy, but just as they were about to say something, Xiao Xue waved her hand, directly interrupting them.
"Old Master, Uncle Nalan, this Junior is a bit weary today. I wonder if I might stay at your manor for a few days?"
Heh, trying to get close? No way!
Hearing this, Nalan Su was slightly stunned before quickly reacting, "It was my oversight. Niece Xiao, Miss Xiao Yi Xian, please follow me."
"Thank you, Uncle Nalan." After bowing to Nalan Su, Xiao Xue turned back to Nalan Jie, "Old Master, I will continue the poison removal for you tomorrow."
After receiving Nalan Jie's nod, Xiao Xue took Xiao Yi Xian and followed Nalan Su.
Then, Nalan Su prepared... two rooms for Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi Xian.
Over the next few days, Xiao Xue removed the poison for Nalan Jie step by step, and she politely smiled and brushed off all their attempts at small talk and getting closer.
Nalan Yanran wasn't seen at all these past few days; she was likely cultivating at the Cloud Mist Sect, which saved Xiao Xue quite a bit of trouble.
Three days later, Nalan Jie's brand poison was completely removed by Xiao Xue. As a result, that very night, Xiao Xue... was poisoned.
Xiao Xue had absorbed the brand poison mist directly into her storage ring.
No matter how careful she had been during the process, she had inevitably been tainted by the brand poison.
The initial amount was very small, so Xiao Xue naturally hadn't noticed. However, when she had completely finished removing the poison and handed the storage ring to Xiao Yi Xian, something went wrong.
Fortunately, only Xiao Yi Xian was present at the time, so no incidents were caused.
As for how Xiao Yi Xian detoxified Xiao Xue... 404 not found... cough cough, it was actually nothing much.
This Rebellious Disciple had simply stolen a kiss from her master while Xiao Xue was unconscious.
