Chapter 124 Sorry, I can't remember.
The capital of the Gama Empire, the most prosperous city in the entire Gama Empire, possesses everything that all the major cities in the Gama Empire have.
Both the Alchemists' Guild and the headquarters of the Mittel Auction House are located here.
This place is also the residence of most of the families of the ten strongest people in the Jia Ma Empire.
It can be said that the capital of the Gama Empire integrates the country's most advanced military forces, and the military strength of one city accounts for 80% of the country's total military strength!
"We've finally arrived. So this is the capital of the Gama Empire."
Looking at the city, which was at least a thousand times larger than Wutan City, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
I remember that the Xiao family was once a great family in the Jia Ma Empire, but with the fall of Xiao Lin, the Xiao family, lacking successors, gradually declined and eventually became just another family in Wutan City a few decades later.
However, if we include Xiao Yan now, the Xiao family's combat strength has even surpassed that of many established powerful families.
"What are your plans for coming here?"
Nalan Yanran stood side by side with Xiao Yan, asking him about his next move.
"Huh? Didn't you bring me to the capital? How did I end up here?"
Although Xiao Yan did plan to come to the capital, he didn't expect Nalan Yanran to bring him here ahead of time.
"If you have no plans, would you be interested in coming to the Nalan family's residence with me?"
Nalan Yanran's words suddenly put Xiao Yan on guard. So, she was waiting for me here all along.
For a moment, Xiao Yan's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, fearing that if he stepped into the other party's house, he would be forced to undergo a wedding ceremony.
However, considering that I now possess the combat power of a Dou Huang, how could I possibly be controlled by a mere Nalan family?
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. He admitted that he couldn't guess what Nalan Yanran was thinking.
"My memory has been missing, but I remember my grandfather. Several years ago, he encountered a fifth-tier magical beast, the Iron-Stained Serpent."
Although he eventually killed it completely, he himself was also infected with that terrible toxin.
He endured that toxin for ten years, but now his condition is worsening and he's nearing the point of exacerbation.
I might forget he existed after a while, but I still don't want him to leave while I still remember him.
"I've heard of the Iron-Iron Poison Python before. Although it's only a fifth-tier monster, its venom is so potent that it can kill even a Douhuang-level expert. It's in a class of its own among magical beasts."
If they weren't so rare, they would probably make all the powerful figures in the entire Gama Empire tremble with fear.
In terms of toxicity alone, in the Jia Ma Empire, apart from the Miasma Toad, Xiao Yan had never heard of a more poisonous magical beast.
"Yes, the family once asked a master from the Yunlan Sect to help, but he could only alleviate the symptoms. Even now, it is difficult to completely eradicate the disease."
However, that master once left behind a method, which was to use an extremely fierce flame to travel through the grandfather's body and burn away the toxins inside him.
However, that requires extremely precise control over the flame, and only a different kind of flame can meet that requirement.
After hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, so you were waiting for me here."
"That's just one reason. If you stay where you are, you'll be captured by the powerful figures who rushed there because of the outbreak of the great battle. I—don't want you to die."
Nalan Yanran's tone remained calm throughout, and sometimes even she herself couldn't understand her motivations for doing certain things.
Nalan Yanran was in a difficult state to lie, and Xiao Yan believed her words.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go with you to the Nalan family. After all, Grandpa Nalan Jie is a close friend of my grandfather."
However, I want to make it clear beforehand that I cannot guarantee that the toxin can be completely eradicated.
Xiao Yan explained this to Nalan Yanran in advance, so that if he accidentally burned someone to death, he wouldn't be blamed for his poor skills.
"Thank you, Xiao Yan."
Nalan Yanran looked very serious, but the slight twitching at the corner of her mouth puzzled Xiao Yan.
What happened to your mouth?
"Shouldn't I keep smiling when I'm smiling and thanking someone?"
'
Xiao Yan was speechless at Nalan Yanran's antics. If it weren't for her illness, she would have been quite suitable as a source of amusement.
"Alright, you lead the way. I can only say I'll do my best."
Nalan Yanran nodded and led Xiao Yan toward the Nalan family home.
After an hour of walking, the two finally arrived at a magnificent building.
"Mitter Auction House, are you sure the Nalan family is here?"
Looking at the five large characters on the magnificent building, Xiao Yan asked Nalan Yanran with some helplessness.
"I'm sorry, I can't remember where Nalan's family lives." Nalan Yanran's words immediately silenced Xiao Yan.
Recalling Xiao Yan's original world, there exists a disease called Alzheimer's disease, also known as senile dementia.
Once you get this disease, you will gradually forget all your memories, just like Nalan Yanran is now.
Perhaps one day she will wake up and forget who she is, and then face a world that will always become unfamiliar to her alone.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt more sympathy for the girl beside him, and the resentment he had accumulated before gradually dissipated.
"Well, since we're already here, we might as well go in and take a look. I happen to have some things I want to buy. By the way, is Old Master Nalan's condition still holding up?"
Xiao Yan knew that doing other things at this time might be a bit immoral, but he thought it wouldn't take long.
Moreover, Xiao Yan's own affairs are also very important. He plans to purchase two high-level Xuan-rank wood-type cultivation techniques and their corresponding fighting skills, as well as lightning-type cultivation techniques and their corresponding fighting skills.
These two sets together are estimated to cost three million gold coins.
After the Stone Desert City incident, Xiao Yan was worried about the situation of his two older brothers and planned to spend some of his own money to support them as much as possible.
With powerful cultivation techniques and amazing combat skills, their combat power will surely increase significantly, and their cultivation speed will also be further improved.
Furthermore, he has realized that his current fighting skills seem somewhat inadequate, and if possible, he would like to buy a fire-type Earth-rank fighting skill from the Mittel Auction House.
"According to that master, Grandpa should be able to hold on for another month."

Nalan Yanran did not blame or reprimand Xiao Yan, or perhaps she no longer had such feelings.
"That's good. In that case, let's go to the Mittel Auction House first, and then go to the Nalan family."
