Chapter 732: Extremely Peculiar

This was precisely why Lan Ning and Lan Yi were on the verge of collapse when they saw that Lan Feng'er had been poisoned by Netherworld Poison. On Blue Phoenix Star, there was absolutely no way to counter this poison.

Netherworld Poison, a highly prestigious toxin of the Netherworld Clan, could easily kill even someone like Lan Ning. It was incredibly rare and valuable—worth as much as the entire Blue Phoenix Star.

Lan Ning couldn’t understand why his daughter would be targeted with such a precious poison. Using something so valuable on her seemed like a complete waste.

Although Ye Xin had never met Lan Ning and Lan Yi before, she quickly deduced that these two were her mother's grandfather and father.

Upon hearing Lan Ning’s words, Ye Xin shook her head gently. “No, Lin Qian will definitely find a way to save Mother. And even if he can't, his ministers certainly can.”

Just as Ye Xin finished speaking and Lan Ning was about to retort, Lin Qian suddenly interrupted, “The antidote is ready. Quickly give it to Mother-in-law.” He handed a crystal vial to Ye Xin.

Overjoyed, Ye Xin swiftly took the antidote, helped her mother sit up, and carefully poured the liquid into her mouth.

As the light green liquid entered Lan Feng'er's body, the eerie green aura surrounding her gradually dissipated, eventually vanishing completely. The strange, menacing atmosphere disappeared as well.

Lan Ning and Lan Yi were left speechless, staring wide-eyed at Lin Qian.

In their minds, there was only one question: What kind of person was Lan Feng'er's son-in-law?

The techniques Lin Qian had shown before were already enough to shock them, and now he had effortlessly cured Netherworld Poison.

“That Netherworld Poison… was cured just like that?” It took Lan Ning a long time to recover, his gaze filled with astonishment as he looked at Lin Qian.

“Hmm, this poison was rather simple. Creating the antidote was an easy task.” Lin Qian casually replied, recalling how Hua Sheng had scoffed at the poison after analyzing his mother-in-law's condition.

At this, Lan Ning and Lan Yi were completely dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. Something as terrifying as Netherworld Poison had been dismissed as a minor issue in Lin Qian’s eyes, easily cured.

“Oh, by the way, esteemed elders,” Lin Qian continued, “my minister also prepared 10,000 bottles of the Netherworld Poison antidote. It seems that Blue Phoenix Star is dealing with some tricky enemies skilled in poison. Why not leave these antidotes under your care?”

“T-Ten thousand bottles?” Lan Ning, who usually maintained the dignified demeanor of the Great Elder of the Sky Blue Phoenix Clan, was utterly lost for words as he looked at Lin Qian in disbelief. “You…?”

“Is it not enough? If so, I can have my subordinates prepare another 10,000 bottles,” Lin Qian offered, leaving Lan Ning scrambling to stop him.

“Wait! No, no, it's not that 10,000 bottles are too few; it's that they’re far too many. Dear grandson-in-law, do you realize how valuable a single bottle of Netherworld Poison antidote is?”

“The value of the Netherworld Poison alone is enough to purchase all of Blue Phoenix Star, and this antidote is just as precious. A fortune like that...”

Lan Ning's words took Lin Qian by surprise, making him realize how valuable the antidote truly was.

It was true that the Sky Blue Phoenix Clan was a formidable power within the Hai Xuan Star Domain, but compared to Xuanhuan Star, where Lin Qian had access to endless resources, they were rather insignificant.

For Hua Sheng, creating the antidote had been an effortless task. After identifying the poison, Hua Sheng hadn’t even bothered to handle it himself, delegating the job to other doctors in the medical division.

Because it had been so easy, Lin Qian had unconsciously assumed the antidote was no big deal. But he had forgotten that, for those around him, it was incredibly rare and precious.

After hearing Lan Ning’s explanation, Lin Qian became curious. “If it’s that valuable, then wouldn’t the enemy have used it on you, the Great Elder of the Sky Blue Phoenix Clan, rather than on Mother-in-law? That seems like overkill.”

“No, the target was originally me,” Ye Nanxin suddenly spoke, his voice filled with guilt. “Feng'er was poisoned because she protected me. If I had been stronger, none of this would have happened!”

Hearing this, Lin Qian finally understood. “Father-in-law, it’s not your fault. Your bloodline has only recently awakened, and it’s normal for your strength to be lacking. Besides, Mother-in-law is safe now, so there’s no need to blame yourself.”

Lan Yi, standing nearby, furrowed his brows. “Using Netherworld Poison on you seems like even more of a waste. Why would they do that?”

“Most likely, the Netherworld Clan recognized Father-in-law’s bloodline. I suspect Father-in-law demonstrated his abilities in Blue Cloud Mountain,” Lin Qian guessed before Ye Nanxin could reply. “Is that correct, Father-in-law?”

Ye Nanxin sighed and nodded. “Yes, while we were on Blue Cloud Mountain, I displayed my current cultivation to Feng'er. That’s when the Netherworld Clan attacked, aiming to kill me.”

“Well, that makes things interesting. It seems the Netherworld Clan recognized Father-in-law’s bloodline. If they can recognize it, then their origins must be extraordinary,” Lin Qian mused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Ye Xin nodded in agreement. “Husband, not only that, but the Netherworld Clan members who came this time must be quite powerful and influential. If they recognized Father’s bloodline so quickly, they must have some long-standing knowledge or records about it.”

“It’s possible that they came here specifically to search for individuals with Father’s bloodline.”

“That was definitely their goal.”

Ye Xin’s deduction earned a nod of approval from Lin Qian.

It was clear that the Netherworld Clan had found a way to descend from the Immortal Realm to the mortal plane, likely with the purpose of tracking down fragments of Xuanhuan Star or the bloodline of the Xuanhuan people. The fact that they recognized Ye Nanxin’s bloodline immediately suggested they had been hunting for it for a long time.

On the other hand, Lan Ning and Lan Yi were completely baffled by the conversation, not understanding any of it.

“What does all of this mean? What bloodline?” Lan Yi frowned, looking at his son-in-law.

Ye Xin turned around and respectfully bowed to Lan Ning and Lan Yi. “Great-grandfather, Grandfather, my father’s bloodline is that of the Immortal Realm. It seems the Netherworld Clan recognized it and acted accordingly.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Ning and Lan Yi both rubbed their foreheads in disbelief. They were no longer just shocked—they were completely overwhelmed.

All they could think was how incredible the situation had become. Not only had Lan Feng'er secretly started a family, but now the relatives she had brought back were more bizarre and extraordinary than they could have ever imagined.
