Chapter 95: Nalan Jie Comes Calling
He had sixth-grade fire and ice attribute magic cores in his hands, but he didn't directly embed them, for this reason.
He had to strengthen them step by step, or else the sword's body wouldn't be able to bear it.
He had previously strengthened these two swords to the fourth grade, also proceeding step by step like this.
After completing the strengthening, Su Yun, with a thought, took the Cold Jade sword in his hand.
After giving it a brief examination, he displayed a sword flourish, then placed the Cold Jade sword back into the system space.
Generally speaking, a martial artist wielding a first-grade magic core weapon could enhance their strength by at least thirty percent.
Similarly, wielding corresponding magic core weapons at other grades would result in a similar increase in strength.
That's why Su Yun placed great importance on weapon enhancement.
A thirty percent increase was already significant.
Moreover, if he were to unleash the "Flowing Flame Dragon Slash," it would be impossible for the fourth-grade weapon, the Remaining Sunset Sword, to withstand it.
Without dwelling further on the matter of weapons, Su Yun shifted his attention to the scanning function of the system.
"System, scan myself."
"Ding, scan successful."
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Male
Cultivation: Five-Star Dou Spirit
Alchemy: Sixth-grade Alchemy King
Physique: None
Attributes: Fire, Ice, Wood (Weak)
Techniques: Low-level Earth Grade "Frostburn Technique"
Dou Skills: Intermediate Earth Grade "Flowing Flame Dragon Slash," High-level Mysterious Grade dou skill "Pure Frost White Dew"...
Items: Spatial Ring, Black Magic Cauldron...
Status: Peak Condition
Su Yun rarely scanned himself.
Why?
Because of the suspicion of word count. After all, one scan was one hundred words, and it was too verbose; he himself couldn't bear to read it.
This was still with ellipses; otherwise, it would be even longer.
Su Yun looked carefully.
The most significant addition was the status column.
This was a good thing, especially when encountering enemies.
Not only could he know their cultivation level, but also how much strength they could currently exert.
Hmm, this was an indispensable tool for robbing houses.
Also, the attribute aspect was now more detailed. Previously, only fire, ice, and wood were displayed as three attributes, now a weak one was added after wood.
Hmm...
Better than nothing, he thought. He wondered if scanning different targets would result in other changes.
Su Yun closed the panel and was about to start cultivating when there was a knock on the door.
"Kid, Nalan Jie is here."
The voice of Hai Bodong came into his ears, and a smile flickered across Su Yun's face.
Another big fish had taken the bait.
Su Yun changed into Zhang Xiaofan's costume and opened the door.
Since their return from the Alchemist Guild, people had been coming one after another with gifts to congratulate them, wanting to become familiar faces.
Su Yun didn't see any of them; he just accepted all the gifts and sent the people away.
Except for this Nalan Jie, he wanted to meet him personally.
Hai Bodong was a bit puzzled.
"What's so special about this Nalan Jie?"
Su Yun didn't answer directly.
"You'll see soon enough."
Hai Bodong was a bit perplexed but followed Su Yun outside.
Su Yun and the others were arranged in a villa. He couldn't entertain them at his own place.
He also didn't want to expose Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin; these two girls were his soft spots. If they were caught by unscrupulous people and used as leverage, even if he was confident in rescuing them, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, they were also future great aids; they had to be protected for now.
Not to mention, once Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body opened up, her cultivation would probably surpass his in a short time.
They went to the Miteer family and were welcomed in the reception hall.
Nalan Jie had been waiting here for some time.
Seeing Su Yun and Hai Bodong approaching, Nalan Jie quickly bowed and said.
"I presume this is Master Zhang. You're truly remarkable at such a young age."
Su Yun smiled and said.
"General Lionheart, Nalan Jie, I've heard of your name for a long time."
After a bit of mutual flattering, Nalan Jie took out a fourth-grade pill formula from his spatial ring.
"I stumbled upon this pill formula years ago. I'll give it to you as a gift."
Su Yun smiled, nodded, and accepted the gift.
This old fellow really spared no expense.
This roll of fourth-grade pill formula is quite valuable. For alchemists, it's even more attractive than an intermediate-level Xuan-grade dou skill.
A trace of pain flashed across Nalan Jie's face, although he himself couldn't use this thing.
But if he took it to the Alchemist Guild and traded it with those alchemists, he could get quite a few good things.
Seeing Su Yun accept the pill formula, Nalan Jie began to explain his true purpose.
"I came here this time not only to congratulate Master Zhang on becoming a sixth-grade Alchemy King but also to ask for a favor."
Su Yun smiled and said, "Please, Mr. Nalan, go ahead."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Nalan Jie's face, and he continued, "A few years ago, I fought against a fifth-grade Magic Beast, the Branding Iron Poison Mark Python. Although I managed to kill it in the end, I also received its branding poison."
Nalan Jie wore a wry smile.
Su Yun nodded.
The Branding Iron Poison Mark Python was quite extraordinary. The poison of a fifth-grade Branding Iron Poison Mark Python could even poison a sixth-grade Magic Beast.
It was truly an outstanding species among Magic Beasts, capable of fighting across levels.
Nalan Jie looked at Su Yun expectantly.
Over the years, he had suffered greatly from this poison and needed to consume a large amount of dou qi every day to suppress it.
He had invited the President of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Mo, and the Alchemy King, Gu He, to come and see him, but to no avail.
Now that a sixth-grade Alchemy King had appeared, he naturally wanted to try his luck.
Su Yun pondered for a moment.
"I can give it a try."
At that time, only Fa Mo was present during the alchemy process, and only Fa Mo knew about the existence of his Heavenly Flame.
Now, there was no external news about him having a Heavenly Flame.
The old president probably didn't reveal the information because he wasn't sure about his attitude and decided to keep it hidden.
Nalan Jie's visit this time should be for his reputation as a sixth-grade Alchemy King.
That's fine. As long as the goal is achieved, the process is not important.
And keeping the Heavenly Flame hidden also has its benefits.
Han Feng from the Black Horn Region has a strong desire for the Heavenly Flame.
He hadn't considered this person before, mainly because the Agma Empire was too far from the Black Horn Region.
Even if he rode a fourth-grade flying Magic Beast, it would take a full month to arrive.
The possibility of the news spreading was almost nonexistent.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie was overjoyed and quickly cooperated with Su Yun to begin the examination.
Su Yun instructed Nalan Jie to take off his upper garment and place his hand on his back while Su Yun's soul power penetrated through his body to investigate his condition.
At the same time, a thought occurred to Su Yun.
"System, scan Nalan Jie."
"Ding, scan successful."

Status: Afflicted by branding poison, can only exert seventy percent of strength.
Hmm, the status column on the panel is displayed very clearly.
Su Yun nodded secretly.
It's rare to give the system a thumbs up.
