Chapter 16: The Pull Of Fate
Jiang Nannan tightly clenched her fists in front of her chest, looking at her mother with a face full of worry.
The greenish-blue light symbolizing healing gradually adjusted her mother’s body bit by bit, blocking the continuously draining vitality.
Jiang Nannan saw her mother’s facial expression becoming increasingly ruddy, and her heart was very excited, but when she saw the Clinic Master’s expression was extremely grave, her previously sunken heart rose again.
Ten minutes later.
When the breathing of the woman on the bed gradually stabilized, her deathly pale facial expression returned to ruddy, and her vitality circulated normally in her body, Xu Wei dispersed his healing soul power.
Xu Wei stood in front of the bed and pondered for a long time, finally only able to sigh.
Hearing this sigh, Jiang Nannan’s suspended heart completely died.
In the medical clinic, she wasn’t afraid of the doctor complaining but afraid of the doctor being silent and sighing.
Jiang Nannan asked in a trembling voice: “Clinic Master, how is my mother?”
Xu Wei took Jiang Nannan out of the ward, shook his head at the door and said:
“Your mother has no problems now. I used my soul skill to lock the draining vitality and supplemented her with some vitality.”
“But Miss Jiang, your mother’s heart is a congenital problem, involving the life origin.”
“In this situation, relying solely on healing soul skills treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and your mother’s heart is continuously deteriorating, with its functions constantly weakening.”
“It’s estimated that in a week, this situation will reappear, and it will be even more serious in the future.”
Jiang Nannan only felt her body go soft, nearly fainting, but fortunately her Soul Elder physique wasn’t that fragile.
“Clinic Master, is there any other method?”
Seeing Jiang Nannan’s fragile and unwilling gaze, Xu Wei closed his eyes and began searching for related medical classics.
Soon, he opened his eyes and said: “From ancient times to the present, there’s only one method to solve this congenital problem, which is to start from strengthening the foundation, nourishing essence, and improving physique.”
“Like some soul masters whose martial souls have defects, but they can be supplemented by absorbing soul rings and taking corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”
“For your mother’s congenital heart problem, the only thing I’m certain will be effective in my memory is the Profound Nether Sect’s Black Tortoise Divine Pill.”
“But the Profound Nether Sect has long secluded itself in the dense forest, ignoring continent affairs. Finding them and exchanging for the Black Tortoise Divine Pill from their hands is as hard as ascending to heaven!”
When Xu Wei mentioned the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, a man who was just grabbing medicinal herbs accompanied by a medical clinic apprentice suddenly stiffened his body and then secretly glanced at Jiang Nannan with the corner of his eye.
After clearly seeing Jiang Nannan’s appearance, his heart immediately became excited.
“Top quality! Absolutely beautiful!”
“This appearance, this temperament absolutely matches what the Sect Master and Second Young Master require.”
This person was called Chen Wen, the personal bookboy of the Profound Nether Sect’s Second Young Master Xu Sanshi.
During this time, he had been worrying over the Martial Soul Evolution Ceremony for Xu Sanshi. The Sect Master required him to find a girl with decent talent and absolutely beautiful appearance to perform the martial soul evolution for Xu Sanshi.
Once the Second Young Master’s martial soul evolved into the Black Tortoise Shield, he could become the Profound Nether Sect’s Young Sect Master, and he, as the first follower, could also soar directly thanks to this connection.
With his heart burning hot, after buying the medicinal herbs, he immediately left and returned to the Profound Nether Sect.
He had heard that the girl needed the Black Tortoise Divine Pill. Although for the Profound Nether Sect, the Black Tortoise Divine Pill was also a rare top-quality pill.
But given the Sect Master’s level of importance to the Second Young Master, one Black Tortoise Divine Pill was nothing.
He would go report to the Sect Master right away, then draw one Black Tortoise Divine Pill from the storeroom to exchange for this absolutely beautiful girl to voluntarily become the key link in the ceremony.
Chen Wen’s departure didn’t alert anyone in the medical clinic. Jiang Nannan’s body trembled slightly, not knowing what to do.
She worried that her mother might leave her just like this. She had clearly promised her back then that she would definitely become a strong person in the future and bring her to live a good life.
But now…
Xu Wei looked at her, who seemed like she would shatter at a touch, and felt a bit reluctant. He thought very highly of this girl’s potential.
“Miss Jiang, actually there’s still one place you can go.”
“A small Huo medical clinic has opened in the Southern District Market of Xuan Feng City.”
“During this time in Xuan Feng City, it can be considered quite renowned, with many people going there to seek medical treatment.”
“According to some Fighting Arena soul masters, the clinic master of that medical clinic can heal any kind of injury without side effects.”
“Even someone who lost a finger can have it regenerated; the medical skills are extremely superb.”
“Although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, I believe there’s no one unworthy under a great reputation.”
Hearing his words, hope reignited in Jiang Nannan’s gaze, which had been like it was dead.
She deeply bowed to Xu Wei, then entered the room to help her mother slowly leave.
The direction they were heading was precisely the South District.
Huo Yuhao at this moment didn’t know that another “acquaintance” would soon be drawn here by the attraction of fate.
He was currently giving someone martial soul consultation.
“Clinic Master Huo, what do you think we should do about my son’s situation?”
A middle-aged woman dressed gorgeously looked at Huo Yuhao with a face full of worry. Beside her was a thirteen-year-old boy with a full face of disdain.
“You mean, your son has the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, innate level two soul power, and now wants to hunt a poisonous snake type soul ring?”
Huo Yuhao had an expression he couldn’t hold back.
The middle-aged woman sighed, looking at the boy beside her with hatred for his incompetence and said:
“This brat, after reading a bit about the Sea God stories, is dead set on hunting snake-type soul rings.”
“Your old lady’s ancestors were from the Tang Sect. No Tang Sect Blue Silver Grass soul master imitating Ancestor Tang San has reached six rings in all generations.”
The boy immediately became unhappy upon hearing his mother’s words and retorted:
“That’s because they were trash. I’m different.”
Huo Yuhao was now truly old man, subway, phone.
With your innate level two soul power and prison gate martial soul, where does your courage come from to say that.
Unless you have a bit of Blue Silver King bloodline, Huo Yuhao would only believe you a little.
But discussing the matter on its merits, Huo Yuhao still had to give some advice.
“Madam and this… young friend, innate level two soul power Blue Silver Grass means his martial soul origin is relatively weak.”
“Absorbing a poisonous snake type soul ring can indeed allow his martial soul to undergo some evolution, because this martial soul fundamentally can’t degenerate further.”
“However, poisonous snake type soul rings usually carry some toxins into your body, and your martial soul is too weak and might not suppress these toxins.”
“These toxins might make you suffer unimaginable pain.”
With no empty words, Huo Yuhao even pulled out “One Hundred Ways for Soul Masters to Die” that he had scavenged from a Xuan Feng City bookstore a while ago to show him, which included a case of a Blue Silver Grass soul master poisoned to death by his own martial soul.
It was said that the author of this book was a Titled Douluo from a hundred years ago, with wide circulation and strong authority.
After seeing the painful death method that Huo Yuhao had bolded and marked, the boy became scared.
“You think I’d be afraid of this? Mere toxins.”
“But come to think of it, upon careful consideration, poisonous snake type martial souls do seem not quite suitable for me. Recommend something else for me.”
Huo Yuhao was amused and then said: “Sunflower as the first soul ring is not bad. Recorded soul skills include photosynthesis healing, absorption, etc. It’s a good life-type soul beast.”
After speaking, Huo Yuhao pulled out a one-foot-thick “Soul Beast Soul Skill Encyclopedia” and flipped to the Sunflower page.
This book was second-hand goods that Huo Yuhao had gotten from a merchant.
Worth one hundred gold soul coins.
