All of the elders within the hall looked over at the youth in doubt.

However, Xiao Yun seemed incredibly calm and unfettered, without a trace of emotion on his face. Although he was doubted by everyone, he did not look displeased at all, and the calmness he displayed gave rise to a deep and profound air about him. The people then looked toward the Tie family’s Second Patriarch in confusion.

“That’s right,” the Tie family's Second Patriarch replied, “When we were in the Illusory Fog Forest, we were ambushed by Qi Zhong and Qi Ming. I was poisoned and unable to fight. Do you know who was able to change everyone’s fates in that moment when we were about to be killed?”

“Who was it?” Hearing this, everyone was incredibly shocked, and once again looked at the calm youth.

“Could it have been him?”

Just as this thought arose in their minds, everyone shook their heads. It was impossible to believe that such a young man could have such power.

“It was indeed young master Xiao Yun who killed Qi Zhong and Qi Ming, allowing us to reverse the situation and return to the North Mist City.” The Tie family's Second Patriarch raised an eyebrow as he looked around with a hint of pride in his tone.

It was as if he was talking about his own accomplishments in battle. Anyone would feel pride for such a youth.

“He killed Qi Zhong and Qi Ming?” Hearing this, all of the Tie family’s elders couldn’t help but shoot to their feet, completely dumbfounded by this news. They looked at Xiao Yun seriously – it was very difficult to imagine that this youth could kill two True Essence realm cultivators.

“Not only that, but Rong’Er was poisoned by the Qi family’s people, and it was this young master Xiao who extracted her poison for her,” the Tie family's Second Patriarch continued to speak.

“Is this true?” the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch asked as he looked at the young woman next to him.

“Mm.” A slight hint of shyness appeared on Tie Rong’Er’s face as she nodded, “Your daughter’s life was indeed saved by young master Xiao Yun. If it wasn’t for him acting in righteousness and attacking the Qi family’s people, your daughter might not have been able to meet with you again.”

“Incredible!” Hearing this, the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch’s eyes lit up and the other elders’ eyes all flashed in antic.i.p.ation.

If this youth could really extract poisons, it would be like seeing a glimmer of light within darkness!

“Can young master Xiao please have a look if you can cure my big brother and the others’ poison?” the Tie family's Second Patriarch asked.

Hearing how courteous the Second Patriarch’s tone was, everyone in the Tie family felt more trusting towards Xiao Yun. Otherwise, with his status, why would the Second Patriarch act so humbly to one so much younger than him?

Xiao Yun shrugged and stood up as he walked to the elders in front of him. Apart from the Tie family's Second Patriarch, there were nine other elders present. Out of the nine of them, four had reached the True Essence realm, and the remaining five were all at the complete stage of the Innate realm. Of the True Essence realm cultivators, only one had not been poisoned.

The one who was in the most serious condition was the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch. If it wasn’t for him using his fairly high cultivation to suppress the poison, it would have broken out already. However, his condition was still quite grim and soon, he would not be able to suppress the poison anymore.

Xiao Yun merely looked at the people around him and was able to tell their conditions. As long as the True Essence realm cultivators could suppress their poison, he could extract it.

“How is it?” the Tie family's Second Patriarch anxiously asked.

“The poison can be slowed, but it won’t be so easy to completely eliminate,” Xiao Yun replied.

“Oh?” The Tie family's Second Patriarch frowned as he asked, “Can young master please help my big brother and the others extract their poison?”

“Young master Xiao, if you can cure my father’s poison, I would be willing to serve you for life.” Tie Rong’Er looked towards Xiao Yun with an expression of pleading. Seeing her father heavily poisoned, she felt as if her heart had been cut with knives.

“That’s right, no matter what requirements you have, our Tie family will do our best to fulfil them,” the other elders said.

“The Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch’s poison is too severe. If I help him, I will not be able to help anyone else for a while,” Xiao Yun said as he frowned.

“That’s fine. As long as you can save the family’s leader, that will be enough,” the other elders nodded.

“Very well.” Xiao Yun had no objections.

“Can you really extract my poison?” The Tie family’s Eldest Family asked seriously.

“Mm,” Xiao Yun said. “It’s not difficult to extract the poison, but it consumes much of my vital essence, so I need to do it slowly.”

“Then please extract my son’s poison first,” the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch suddenly said.

“Extract your son’s poison?” Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. He looked around, but didn’t see any other youths who were present.

“My son has already fallen unconscious and may not make it past today,” the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch said sorrowfully. “I’ve already lived for a few decades and I don’t have many regrets. I just don’t want to see my child die before myself, so please save him first.”

“Little brother Yan?” Tie Rong’Er’s heart trembled as a worried expression appeared on her face. She had long since heard that her little brother had been poisoned. However, she had just returned, and had not had the opportunity to see him. Hearing her father say this, she felt incredibly anxious.

Her father was a True Essence realm cultivator and could temporarily suppress his poison, but her little brother’s dantian had been destroyed – how could he possibly survive?”

“What do you all think?” Xiao Yun asked. “Right now, your Tie family’s situation is not looking very optimistic. With an extra True Essence realm expert, you’ll have another s.h.i.+eld. If I save your son today, I’ll only be able to treat you tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t be able to withstand the poison either.”

“Please save my son,” the Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch said without even thinking.

Previously, he definitely would have looked at the bigger picture. However, after everything that had happened, he was already halfway through the door of death. He simply did not care about all of that anymore and wanted his son and daughter to live on, even if he had to die.

The other elders remained silent and did not bother arguing. Many of them had lost relatives through this ordeal and could understand how the Eldest Patriarch felt.

“Even if it’s tomorrow, it won’t be too late. The Qi family only has a few True Essence realm cultivators, and it’s not as if we don’t have any way of defending against them,” the Tie family's Second Patriarch said. After seeing Xiao Yun’s strength, he felt much more confident. With the youth helping them, they wouldn’t have to worry too much.

“Very well,” Xiao Yun said. “Take me to have a look at your son’s condition.”

With the Tie family’s people leading the way, they soon came to Tie Yan’s courtyard. Tie Yan was quite young and was about the same age as Xiao Yun. He had become the champion at the North Mist City’s Martial Compet.i.tion and had the right to go to the Heaven Origin Sect’s examination. In order for him to stand out among the geniuses during the examination, the Tie family had obtained that Skyfire Medallion for him.

However, not only did he not have the opportunity to use it, but he was also afflicted by poison and had become a cripple.

When Xiao Yun saw Tie Yan, he couldn’t help but deeply frown. The poison within Tie Yan’s poison had entered his meridians and had penetrated into his bones. If they had been late by half an hour, the poison would have reached his heart and killed him. Seeing Tie Yan’s state, the other members of the Tie family also looked incredibly sombre.

The genius that they had put all of their hope into had fallen to such a state.

“Young master Xiao Yun, is there any hope for my little brother?” Tie Rong’Er was tightly frowning, burning with desperation. After taking a glance at the youth who seemed to be on his dying breath, she looked at Xiao Yun in antic.i.p.ation. It was evident just how much she cared about Tie Yan.

“As long as you can save my son, I will fulfil any request of yours, no matter what it is.” The Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch’s face was covered with pain and tears sparkled in his eyes as he pleaded to the youth next to him. This person was his only hope in saving his son!

“The poison has already entered his bones. For now, I can only slow down the poison. If you want to save him, we’ll have to use other means,” Xiao Yun replied.

“What other means?” The Tie family’s Eldest Patriarch seriously asked.

“Please, please save my little brother,” Tie Rong’Er sobbed as she pulled on Xiao Yun’s arm.

“I’ll list out some medicinal ingredients for you to gather,” Xiao Yun said.

“Okay, okay.” The Tie family’s people revealed expressions of hope. Following this, Xiao Yun gave them a list of medicinal ingredients.

Try to gather these medicinal ingredients as soon as possible. If you can do that, I’ll be able to help Tie Yan completely extract his poison.” Xiao Yun handed the list to the Tie family's Second Patriarch. It was a list of medicinal ingredients for an Antidote Pills, as well as some medicinal ingredients that he needed for himself. That way, no one else would be able to work out the pill recipe.

“Second Patriarch, the medicinal ingredients for Antidote Pills have been completely monopolised by the Qi family. It’ll be incredibly difficult for us to gather them!” One of the elders exclaimed after taking a look at the list. Ever since they had been ambushed, the Tie family had been gathering some of the medicinal ingredients for Antidote Pills. However, it was a pity that stocks were extremely limited, as the vast majority had already been bought by the Qi family. This made the Tie family feel at their wit’s end.

“You can’t gather the medicinal ingredients?” Xiao Yun frowned. “Then, it’ll be problematic to get rid of the poison. There are many people in your Tie family who have been poisoned. If you want to save them, I’ll need these medicinal ingredients. After all, I can’t extract poison for you all one by one.”

“Is there really no way then?” The Tie family’s people all looked downcast. Unless they went out to gather medicinal ingredients, it would be almost impossible to find the ones listed by Xiao Yun.

“Do you have any Merchant Alliances that sell medicinal ingredients?” Xiao Yun suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

“We do,” the Tie family's Second Patriarch replied, “Our North Mist City has a Cloudsea Merchant Alliance, but it’ll be difficult to ask them to help gather medicinal ingredients for us. Not only are the prices expensive, but we also need to buy in large quant.i.ties. Otherwise, they might not be willing to help.”

“Although our Tie family isn’t weak, it’s simply too difficult to ask them to help,” the Tie family's Second Patriarch lamented with a bitter expression. They were completely helpless in front of this Merchant Alliance – they spanned the entire Moonwind Kingdom, and normal families could only try to curry favour with them. Actually asking the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance to help them was simply too difficult.

“Cloudsea Merchant Alliance?” Xiao Yun’s eyes slightly narrowed as he said, “That’s no problem then. I have a medallion from the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance. Take it to them and they should help you. Moreover, I have some medicinal pills. I’m sure that if you sell them to the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance, they won’t refuse them.” After speaking, Xiao Yun took out the violet and gold medallion that Master Yuan had given him, as well as a bottle of Congealing Qi Pills.

“Isn’t this the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance’s VIP Medallion?” After receiving the medallion, the Tie family's Second Patriarch’s eyes lit up. The other elders all stared at it with a burning gaze. Only the truly big and powerful families in the Moonwind Kingdom had such a medallion!

Following this, the Tie family's Second Patriarch received the bottle of medicinal pills. He opened the lid and the expressions of the other elders immediately changed.

“What a dense pill fragrance!”

“These are all real Congealing Qi Pills!” All of the elders were completely dumbfounded, and looked at the youth in shock and respect.

This youth had casually taken out a bottle of medicinal pills, as well as the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance’s VIP Medallion. Could he be some big family’s young master?
