"Sister Nan Nan, don't be confused. Follow the guidance of the spiritual detection, and you will be fine."

Huo Yuhao comforted Jiang Nan Nan and asked her to calm down. Although saving her mother made her very nervous, she had to remain in the best condition throughout the process for her mother's sake.

Mother of Jiang Nannan was wearing a white, tight-fitting top, but the cloth on the right side of her heart was pulled aside a little, covered by Jiang Nannan's hand. Although her body was mature and charming, the skin exposed beneath her fair neck was an unhealthy cold white.

"We can't delay any longer." Jiang Nannan took a deep breath, held it carefully, and slowly mobilized her soul power.

Following the route of the detection map, under her guidance, the soul power was continuously injected along the position where Jiang Nannan's palm touched...

Jiang Nannan carefully controlled the soul power, slowly moving it within her mother's heart, decomposing the stagnant blood bit by bit, and carefully clearing it.

As time passed, Jiang's mother's breathing gradually became soft and steady from weak before.

"Nannan, Mom feels much better." Jiang Nannan's mother looked at Huo Yuhao with a gentle and calm expression in her eyes, "Yuhao, thank you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. It didn't take much effort."

Jiang Nannan was delighted to see that her mother's condition had obviously improved, and she concentrated more on clearing the blockage.

After a period of time, the whole process went smoothly. The stagnant blood in Jiang Nannan's mother's heart was entirely decomposed by her soul power.

Although a large area of skin on Jiang's mother's chest was still cold and bloodless, her breathing rate had returned to normal and was much smoother than before.

Jiang Nannan's face relaxed slightly, but she was not completely relieved yet, because Huo Yuhao still needed to use his life breath to help her mother's heart recover and completely solve the problem of heart failure.

Jiang Nannan then stood up and made room for Huo Yuhao, smiling softly: "Yuhao, it's your turn. Don't be nervous." Huo Yuhao smiled and gave her a look that told her not to worry, then stood up and walked to the bedside, raised his hand, and gently placed it on the spot Jiang Nannan had just covered, injecting a breath of life into it.

Jiang Nannan saw the inflow of this breath of life through Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing. She couldn't help but hold her breath, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her mother's illness, which had plagued her for many years, was finally going to be cured.

With the infusion of pure vitality, Jiang Nannan's mother's cheeks become rosy, and her skin changed from the previous cold white to an attractive tender white.

Soon, the blush on Jiang Nannan's mother's cheeks spread to her neck. The sensation of recovering from a long illness made her body tremble slightly in comfort.

"Mom, you look much better." Jiang Nannan's eyes sparkled with joy.

"Nannan, is it because I am about to recover from my illness that I feel a little hot?" A blush appeared on Jiang Nannan's mother's face.

Jiang Nannan's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement as she nodded heavily, "Yes, Mom, you will be well soon." Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the originally cold touch of his palm was gradually becoming smooth and warm. Due to the sweat, it felt like holding a hot water bottle.

He focused on the treatment and did not let his thoughts slip.

Through mental power, the breath of life nourished Jiang Nannan's mother's heart bit by bit.

Finally,

The breath of life traveled through the previously cleared route.

Jiang Nannan's mother's heart regained its vitality, and the normal rhythm of her heartbeat sounded from her chest. Blood flowed smoothly into her limbs and bones. Her soft and graceful body was no longer sickly pale but had skin as white as mutton-fat jade.

It seemed that Jiang Nannan's mother was quietly receiving treatment with her eyes slightly closed and her lips bitten; her cheeks were bright red due to the blood reaction after the breath of life nourished her heart.

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, wondering if it was because Jiang Nannan's mother's long-depleted heart suddenly regained vitality, and the vitality nourishment caused the blood and qi to become too strong...

No matter how calm he was, he could not control Jiang Nannan's mother's reaction to the "abundant life breath," and his palm seemed to be bulging and pushed against a point.

"Auntie, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and asked with concern.

Jiang Nannan's Mother slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Huo Yuhao. Seeing that he did not show any strange expression, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly.

"It's okay, Yuhao. Apart from feeling a little hot, I feel fine. My chest isn't stuffy anymore, and my breathing is smooth."

"Yuhao, so my mother is fine now?" Jiang Nannan could no longer suppress her joy; her eyes were bright.

"Well, it's no big deal." Huo Yuhao nodded. "Go buy some nourishing medicine from the pharmacy and take good care of your body. Massage the parts of Auntie's body that are most seriously affected by the disease regularly to promote blood circulation. Slowly, she will recover as before." As he spoke, he took out two soul-restoring pills from his ring, ate one himself, and gave one to Jiang Nannan. In fact, he and Jiang Nannan didn't consume much soul power, but they were tired. After all, it was a matter of life and death.

Jiang Nannan walked to the bedside, her eyes sparkling with tears: "Mom, you are cured, finally cured."

Jiang Nannan's Mother slowly sat up from the bed, closed her clothes, looked at Jiang Nannan tenderly, and stroked her hair over and over again.

"Nannan, you've suffered so much for your mother these years..."

Jiang Nannan shook her head, her eyes misty, saying she didn't want to suffer. She turned to look at Huo Yuhao next to her and took out a bag of palm-sized gold soul coins.

"Yuhao, thank you. Thank you for saving my mother. I will compensate you when I save up some money later."

"Forget about the compensation..." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and wanted to refuse, but he heard Jiang Nannan's Mother calling him softly and beckoning him to her side.

Jiang Nannan's Mother gave Huo Yuhao a gentle hug, "Yuhao, thank you for saving Auntie; otherwise, I don't know how long I could have held on."

After curing Jiang Nannan's Mother's illness, the three of them sat by the bed and chatted for a while, and it was already evening.

During this time, Jiang Nannan also learned that Huo Yuhao was an orphan who had cultivated to level 20 by himself and was preparing to obtain a soul ring, but currently had no place to stay.

This experience made the mother and daughter feel a little more caring toward Huo Yuhao.

Jiang Nannan held her small purse, "Yuhao, since you don't want to accept it, I plan to rent a house for us in Tiandou City."

"Then I plan to take a half-year leave from Shrek Academy, practice in Tiandou City, and take good care of my mother for half a year so that her body can recover to that of a normal person."

After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao thought for a while. Since Jiang Nannan no longer needed the Xuanming Sect's Xuanwu Shendan, who should Xu Sanshi perform the ceremony with? He wouldn't go to the wrong door again.

To be honest, the incredible ideas that adults come up with from time to time always give rise to some operations that are more memorable.

Huo Yuhao stood up and said, "Sister Nan Nan, I'm going out to buy a few things to prepare for obtaining soul rings."

He wanted to buy a soul guide snow sled, preferably one with a booster.

If he went to the Far North in this way, he could greatly reduce the time wasted on the journey.

Jiang Nannan happily said, "Yuhao, I'll go with you. Let's go to the pharmacy in Tiandou City and buy some medicine for my mother to take care of her body."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Huo Yuhao nodded, and the two walked out of the hotel and came to the main street of Tiandou City.

In fact, the snow sled is more of an everyday soul guide device. Huo Yuhao was not sure if he could buy it in Tiandou City, but he had to go and take a look.

If he couldn't buy it, he would just buy some pieces of metal and make one himself.

It didn't take long for Huo Yuhao to find a shop with the words "Soul Guidance Equipment Store" written on its sign.

Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan walked into the store. The interior was arranged quite neatly. There were soul ray guns, soul cannons, and protective shields arranged on the shelves according to their levels. It looked quite realistic.

After a rough glance, they saw that all the items were low-level soul guidance Tools, the highest level only being a fourth-level soul guidance tool. Of course, it is not ruled out that the boss had some private goods hidden away.

Looking from the corridor of the store, Huo Yuhao saw a boss covering his face with a book, leisurely lying on a soul guide chair.

Upon noticing Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan coming in, the boss immediately stood up and said with a smile: "What kind of soul guidance device would you like to see?"

"Let me take a look first." Huo Yuhao looked at the shelf closest to the door, which was neatly displayed with level one to three soul guide ray guns. These were obviously not what he needed.

A few minutes later, the boss discovered that Huo Yuhao seemed to have no interest in either defensive or offensive soul guidance device, so he smiled and asked tentatively.

"Little boy, I see you are not very old. Are you looking for some soul guidance device for daily life?"

"It's strange. Soul guidance device can be made into custom-made ones, but soul engineers rarely make soul guidance device for daily life. It can't be a technical problem."

Huo Yuhao responded: "Boss, do you have any here?"

"Yes, but they are all small gadgets that no one buys. You may not be able to use them."

The boss took Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan to the last shelf.

Huo Yuhao saw a long, smooth metal plate at a glance.

"Snow sled, using a lot of soul power to propel it at a speed comparable to the continent's exclusive means of transportation - a carriage, priced at ten gold soul coins."

"Goggles. Using soul power to form a thin film on the lens, which is both dustproof and provides a wide field of vision, priced at two silver soul coins."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Boss, what do you mean by comparable to the speed of a carriage?"

The boss smiled awkwardly: "Because the effect of the core array in this soul guide is relatively poor, it is basically driven by soul power."

"If you want it, I will sell it to you at half price for five gold soul coins." The boss took down the snow sled.

"I didn't make any money from the five gold soul coins. The raw materials of this snow sled are rare metals. If you sell it as a piece of metal, it will cost several silver soul coins." Huo Yuhao nodded. This is called no profit.

Jiang Nannan couldn't stand the fact that someone wanted her and Yuhao to spend more money, so she immediately started a passionate negotiation with the boss.

Finally, she bought the snow sled and goggles for one gold soul coin.

Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan's battle of wits and courage with the boss and gave her a thumbs up. From the fact that she had to bargain with Huo Gua when buying grilled fish in the original story, it could be seen that she was thrifty.

After the deal was done, Huo Yuhao put the snow sled into the storage ring.

Then the two went to the pharmacy. Jiang Nannan bought some nourishing medicine for her mother, while Huo Yuhao bought some medicinal materials for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill.

After returning to the hotel, Huo Yuhao took out the medicine cauldron he had been rewarded with and prepared to make some soul-restoring pills.

Jiang Nannan saw the cauldron appear and asked curiously, "Yuhao, did you make all those pills with this?"

"No, the Soul-Returning Pill you saw before was made with someone else's martial soul."

Seeing Jiang Nannan's puzzled expression, Huo Yuhao explained, "Her martial soul is a cauldron."

"Oh, oh." Jiang Nannan suddenly realized and gave the medicine she bought to her mother.

A few hours later, Huo Yuhao refined nearly fifty Soul-Restoring Pills. Feeling that it was enough, he prepared to go to bed and set off for the Far North tomorrow.

"Sister Nannan, I'll go get another room."

Jiang Nannan saw Huo Yuhao walking toward the door and quickly stopped him: "Hey Yuhao, why do you want to get another room? Let's not waste this money."

"This double bed is quite big. If the three of us squeeze together, we can definitely sleep in it."

Jiang Nannan's Mother was also lying on the bed and said, "Yuhao, you are so young at eleven years old; you don't take up much space. Let's sleep here tonight, and Nannan will go rent a room later."

Huo Yuhao finally couldn't refuse. After a simple wash, they rested on the bed in the order of Huo Yuhao - Jiang Nannan - Jiang Nannan's Mother.

That night, the three of them slept soundly.

The next morning, Jiang Nannan remembered the soul guide Huo Yuhao bought last night and asked curiously: "Yuhao, where are you going to get soul rings after buying those things? I can help you." Huo Yuhao thought about it and did not hide it: "I am going to the Far North." Jiang Nannan was stunned. She wanted to say that the Far North was very dangerous for their current cultivation level and they might lose their lives if they were not careful.

However, although Huo Yuhao's tone sounded indifferent, it was unquestionably firm. Jiang Nannan knew that she could not persuade him, so she did not try to dissuade him.

...

Outskirts of the Far North.

Huo Yuhao, who had been asked by Jiang Nannan to put on a white down jacket, took out the snow sled from the ring and put on goggles.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Jiang Nannan, who had been sending him here: "Sister Nannan, just send me here, go back and take care of Auntie; I'll just walk around the periphery, and if I can't find a suitable soul beast, I'll go back to Tiandou City."

"The relic I'm wearing has very high defense. If you continue to accompany me, I'll have to protect you when the time comes."

Jiang Nannan stretched out her hand to gather her hair behind her ears and asked sideways: "Yuhao, how long will you be back?"

Huo Yuhao thought about it. In the original novel, Huo Gua took a whole month off and was late when he returned to Shrek Academy. The time he took must be much shorter than Huo Gua's.

"About 20 days, no more than a month."

Jiang Nannan felt that this time was quite long. She pursed her lips and said nothing, but she remembered that Huo Yuhao was a lifesaver for her mother. "Yuhao, if you don't come back after 20 days, I will come to find you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, and waved goodbye to Jiang Nannan.

Endless white filled the sky and earth as he accelerated and rushed straight in.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice sounded in his mind: "Yuhao, let's go. Bingbing, wait for me; I'll come back to save you."

"Yuhao, that girl just now seemed to be interested in you. I didn't realize that you have some of my style back then."

"Back then, I was pursued by a cool and aloof person of the opposite sex who took the initiative to chase me across half of the Far North."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was very proud.
