338: After the matter is completed, there will be a generous reward

Dan Chenzi said earnestly, "Heaven and Earth Strange Flames are extremely peculiar; they can incinerate all things, even various strange poisons, turning them into nothingness. Fellow Daoist Fan's flame control technique is exceptionally skilled, so I assume you have completely mastered this strange flame. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Fan to help Danhe Old Ancestor detoxify. As long as the poison is removed, all the rewards offered by Danhe Valley will be yours!"

This time, to help Danhe Old Ancestor detoxify, Danhe Valley had offered a sky-high reward.

All the experts invited, regardless of success, would receive a reward.

If they succeeded, they would receive even more rewards, and coincidentally, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Fruit and Star Core that Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang needed were among the subsequent rewards.

After listening, Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Dan has said so, Fan will naturally not refuse."

They had to take the Yin-Yang Five Elements Fruit and Star Core, even if they had to snatch them.

As for the so-called detoxification, he would observe the situation first. He was also very curious about what kind of strange poison Danhe Old Ancestor had been afflicted with.

Detoxification?

Perhaps it wasn't strictly necessary to use a strange flame...

Dan Chenzi's face lit up with joy: "Fellow Daoist Fan, please follow me. Regardless of success, I will do my best to secure the Yin-Yang Five Elements Fruit and Star Core for you."

He knew how terrifying Xie Weilou was; if he truly intended to seize those two items, no one in the entire Danhe Valley could stop him.

"Good!"

Xie Weilou nodded with a smile.

Subsequently, Dan Chenzi led Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang out of the room.

Half an incense stick later.

The three arrived at the highest floor of Danhe Hall, which was a spacious hall.

On both sides of the hall sat four elders, all experts invited by Danhe Valley: two apothecaries and two Poison Masters.

They were calm and composed, waiting silently.

And seated at the very front was an extraordinary old man dressed in a light blue robe. He was the Danhe Valley Master, a fifth-grade alchemist, and had a cultivation of the late Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Senior Brother!"

Dan Chenzi entered the hall with Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang.

The Danhe Valley Master nodded gently to Dan Chenzi, his gaze falling on Xie Weilou, and he asked in surprise, "This is?"

Dan Chenzi introduced, "Senior Brother, this is Fellow Daoist Fan, whom I invited to detoxify Old Ancestor."

He then transmitted a message, "Senior Brother, this Fellow Daoist Fan is the ruthless Demon Race expert I mentioned before. You must absolutely not provoke him. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Fan possesses a Heaven and Earth Strange Flame, which might be able to detoxify Old Ancestor."

There were some matters he had to explain to the Danhe Valley Master in advance, otherwise, if the Danhe Valley Master slighted the other party because Xie Weilou was young, it would be troublesome.

"......"

Upon hearing this, the Danhe Valley Master's pupils constricted involuntarily.

He was already aware of the Northern You Alliance incident, and Dan Chenzi had also told him about the ruthless Demon Race expert surnamed Fan. His strength was extremely terrifying, having suppressed and killed multiple Dragon Transformation Realm Peak cultivators.

Moreover, there was a mysterious woman beside him who could even slay Divine Court cultivators, which was simply astonishing.

He hadn't expected that ruthless Demon Race expert to come here this time. So, where was that woman?

The Danhe Valley Master subconsciously looked at Lin Qinghuang, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

However, he did not show too much surprise, but instead smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Fan has come to detoxify Old Ancestor, please take a seat!"

Possessing a Heaven and Earth Strange Flame and unfathomable strength, perhaps he could truly detoxify Old Ancestor. Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in the Danhe Valley Master's heart.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and found a seat.

He observed the four elders. Their strength was not weak: two Profound Phase Realm Peak and two early Dragon Transformation Realm.

The two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators were covered in poisonous aura, indicating they were Poison Masters.

Lin Qinghuang stood silently at the side, like a very well-behaved little maidservant.

"......"

The few people on both sides of the hall stared at Xie Weilou, a hint of disdain in their eyes.

This young man looked so young, just a callow youth. What abilities could he possibly have?

Dan Chenzi noticed everyone's gazes and intended to say something, but after thinking about it, he still refrained from speaking further.

The Danhe Valley Master stood up and said in a deep voice, "Today, I have invited all of you here. The matters involved are already known to everyone, so I will not waste any more words. Next, I invite Old Ancestor!"

Boom!

As he finished speaking, a certain formation activated, and the hall was sealed by a mysterious power. A black light flickered, and a pitch-black coffin instantly appeared in the hall. The coffin was covered with numerous Restriction runes.

"......"

Everyone stared at the black coffin.

Boom!

The Danhe Valley Master formed hand seals, and a surge of power flowed towards the coffin. The Restriction runes on the coffin dissipated one after another.

Crack!

As the Restriction runes vanished, the coffin lid opened automatically, and a chilling cold instantly emanated from within the coffin.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a black poisonous mist spread out, causing a tremor in one's soul.

Immediately, an old man with tightly closed eyes, a bluish-black complexion, and black mist emanating from his body floated up from the coffin. His face was withered and wrinkled like tree bark, and the aura of death on him was extremely dense.

This was precisely Danhe Old Ancestor, a sixth-grade alchemist, and a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak expert.

The Danhe Valley Master looked at everyone and said in a solemn voice, "Everyone, for the matters that follow, I trouble you all. After it is done, there will be a generous reward!"

The four elders stood up. They gazed at Danhe Old Ancestor, observing him carefully.

"......"

Xie Weilou was also staring at Danhe Old Ancestor's body. He released his soul power and probed him, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

Danhe Old Ancestor's condition was indeed extremely dire. His internal organs, meridians, and bones had all been corroded by a potent poison, and his entire body was filled with the aura of death, as if he had been afflicted by some kind of corpse poison.

Of course, this corpse poison was not the real key...

His true problem lay in his soul. His soul had also been corroded by some kind of potent poison, and that was the true source.

This reminded him of a certain strange herb recorded in Dragon Old Freak's alchemy notes.

A few breaths later.

The four elders also made some discoveries. A thoughtful expression appeared in their eyes.

The two Dragon Transformation Realm Poison Masters exchanged glances, then looked at the other two Profound Manifestation Realm elders: "You two go first!"

These two Profound Manifestation Realm elders were both physicians, and their expressions were somewhat solemn.

One of them said in a deep voice, "Danhe Old Ancestor should have been afflicted by some terrifying corpse poison. This kind of corpse poison, this old man has never seen before, and it will definitely be extremely troublesome to resolve."

He looked at the other Profound Manifestation Realm elder: "Fellow Daoist Feng, let us act together! Let's see if we can force this corpse poison out."

"Good!"

The other Profound Manifestation Realm elder nodded with a solemn expression, clearly understanding that it would be difficult for one person to handle this matter.

Such corpse poison, even Danhe Old Ancestor, a sixth-grade alchemist, found difficult to resolve. They had no confidence at all and could only try their best.

"I will use the Xuanmen Needle Art to suppress the potent poison, and Fellow Daoist Feng will fully exert his strength to force the poison out."

"Alright."

The two Profound Manifestation Realm physicians did not hesitate and immediately took action.

Whoosh!

Several silver needles flew out and pierced into Danhe Old Ancestor's various acupoints, then suppressed the corpse bones to prevent the corpse poison from counterattacking.

Boom!

The elder surnamed Feng formed hand seals, and his power erupted, forcibly drawing the corpse poison, attempting to force it out.

With the silver needles suppressing it, the corpse poison initially did not counterattack, and black mist flew out from Danhe Old Ancestor's glabella...
