Chapter 183: Nalan Yanran's Request

"This item is called the Eternal Life Bead, containing an extremely rich vitality. It can heal injuries and even revive the dead. It can also extend one's lifespan. When taken by a Dou Emperor, it can increase life expectancy by two hundred years, and for a Dou Ancestor, it can add a hundred years."

In response to Yunyun's inquiry, Gu He calmly provided an answer.

After hearing Gu He's answer, Yunyun widened her eyes, covered her red lips with her jade-like hand, and showed a look of shock.

An increase of two hundred years in lifespan at the Martial Emperor level! The effect of the Eternal Life Bead completely astonished Yunyun.

"Husband, this..."

Yunyun's lips moved, and she was about to say something when she saw Gu He raising his hand. She immediately stopped talking, bit her red lips, and revealed a somewhat helpless look.

Gu He smiled and said, "I have many things like this. Just accept it without any burden. Since you are my woman, why wouldn't I give you good things? Should I give them to someone else?"

Moved by Gu He's words, Yunyun nodded slowly.

Then, Gu He took out a bottle of Thousand-Year Earth Core Body Refining Milk, a Returning Life Pill, and finally imparted the high-level martial art, Void Slashing Sword Technique, to Yunyun.

These precious gifts deeply moved Yunyun, and under the influence of emotions, the two of them naturally engaged in another intimate moment.

Until just before dawn, Gu He put away the Qinglian Sacred Platform and descended from the high altitude with Yunyun.

Reluctantly leaving, Gu He returned directly to his courtyard.

This time, the disciples under the sect were also sent out for training.

This training might take a very long time.

Before leaving, Gu He planned to prepare the spirit liquid and pills they would need in the future.

Therefore, after returning to the courtyard, Gu He immediately entered the alchemy room and started a long period of pill refining and preparing spirit liquids.

Three days later, Gu He completed the task and walked out of the alchemy room with satisfaction.

"Teacher!"

When Gu He walked out of the alchemy room, he was surprised to find that Nalan Yanran was waiting in the courtyard, with a somewhat anxious expression on her face.

Seeing this, Gu He showed a puzzled look and asked, "Yanran, what's wrong? Did something difficult happen?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's bright eyes flickered with teardrops as she pleaded, "Teacher, can you please save my grandfather?"

"Save your grandfather?"

Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Gu He was suddenly puzzled and asked, "What happened to your grandfather?"

Subsequently, as Nalan Yanran narrated the story, Gu He gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that four years ago, Nalan Yanran's grandfather, Nalan Jie, had fought against a highly poisonous fifth-grade magical beast called the Branding Iron Poisonous Python. Although he managed to kill it in the end, he was unfortunately injected with a terrifying poison, the Branding Iron Poison.

The severity of this poison shocked Nalan Jie after checking the information from ancient books.

There were records that even sixth-grade magical beasts could be fatally poisoned by the Branding Iron Poison. If it weren't for their extremely rare existence, many powerful individuals on the continent would be horrified by this poison.

Over the years, relying on his strong Qi, Nalan Jie had been suppressing the poison. However, as he grew older, the rebound of the poison became stronger.

Originally, Nalan Jie had a premonition that the Branding Iron Poison within him would erupt soon.

Fortunately, a year ago, the breakthrough made by Nalan Jie using the Dou Spirit Pill obtained at the Mittel Auction House temporarily suppressed the Branding Iron Poison.

However, as a year passed, even with Nalan Jie's breakthrough in strength, he couldn't suppress the poison within him any longer.

Today, Nalan Yanran's father suddenly came to the Cloud Mist Sect, asking Nalan Yanran to return to the family to see Nalan Jie for the last time.

Learning all this, Nalan Yanran's heart shook violently.

Feeling extremely desperate, she thought of her teacher, Gu He, hoping that he could help.

"Branding Iron Poison..."

After listening to Nalan Yanran's explanation, a strange light flashed in Gu He's eyes.

At this moment, he remembered that in the original work, the poisoning of the old man Nalan was cured by Xiao Yan.

The secret to Xiao Yan's cure was the use of a Heavenly Flame.

Only those with a Heavenly Flame could cure the branding poison inside Nalan Jie.

Since a Heavenly Flame could refine the branding poison, naturally, Gu He's innate divine fire could do it as well.

Thinking of this, he assuredly said to Nalan Yanran, "Yanran, you go back with your father first. I will be there later."

Seeing that Gu He was willing to help, Nalan Yanran was overjoyed and nodded quickly. She ran out of the courtyard and quickly left the Cloud Mist Sect with her father Nalan Su.

After Nalan Yanran left, Gu He, who had not left the alchemy room for three days, cleaned himself up and immediately used the Ascension Steps technique to quickly leave the Cloud Mist Sect.

Just as Nalan Yanran returned to the Nalan family, Gu He had already arrived at the entrance of the Nalan family. After being warmly welcomed by the Nalan family's high-level members, he entered the inner courtyard of the Nalan family.

In a side hall, Gu He saw Nalan Jie, who was almost at the end of his life.

Nalan Jie, with a withered face, lay on the bed. Several maids were busy around him, carefully taking care of the elderly man who had fallen into a coma.

Slowly approaching the large bed, Gu He's gaze swept over the bed, and he noticed a faint grayish-black color on Nalan Jie's face. The quiet and sleeping face even carried a hint of the breath of death.

"It is indeed very serious..."

Glancing at Nalan Jie's face, which was almost halfway into the grave, Gu He whispered.

"Yes, this kind of branding poison is something even a Dou Emperor would not dare to easily provoke. The fact that the old master has endured it for so many years is already reaching the limit."

Behind him, Nalan Su sighed and shook his head, then cautiously said, "Alchemy King, do you see any hope for treatment?"

On the side, Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, her bright eyes filled with worry.

After observing for a while, Gu He spoke, "There should still be a chance for salvation."

Then he looked at the several maids in the room and said indifferently, "Let them all leave. Don't disturb me during the treatment. You should also stay away."

"Please, Alchemy King."

Hearing this, Nalan Su's face showed a trace of joy. He quickly took Nalan Yanran a few steps back and waved his hand to dismiss all the maids from the room.

Then, Gu He raised Nalan Jie with one hand. Despite the poison that had eroded him for so long, Nalan Jie's face, which was already dry, still revealed a touch of arrogance.

Gently patting Nalan Jie's shoulder with his left hand, a hidden force shook his robe into powder, revealing a skeletal body that seemed like a bone frame.

"Indeed very serious..."

Looking at the face of Nalan Jie, who seemed almost skeletal due to the erosion of the poison, Gu He murmured.

Nalan Su sighed and said cautiously, "Alchemy King, what do you think? Is there any hope for treatment?
