Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 19 The New Doctor
"Nannan, go to the pharmacy and buy three ounces of Cordyceps sinensis, five ounces of red maple leaves, and four ounces of earthworm fruit."

Huo Yuhao dealt with the customer who was asking for medicine. According to the customer's request, he asked Jiang Nannan to go to the pharmacy to weigh out some yang-tonifying and blood-nourishing herbs.

It has been half a month since she successfully cured her mother's illness.

When her mother was discharged from the hospital, she almost knelt down before him with Jiang Nannan, saying that she had never felt that living could be so easy.

But then again, with a heart like that of a parasite, it would be a miracle if life were easy.

As usual, Huo Yuhao charged the mother and daughter three silver soul coins for the surgery and one gold soul coin for the medicine.

However, Jiang Nannan felt that Huo Yuhao had accepted too little and insisted on giving all her savings to him.

Huo Yuhao did not accept it. On the one hand, he had already obtained a lot of genetic information from the mother and daughter. On the other hand, it was questionable whether the mother and daughter had enough wealth to make up for fifty gold soul coins.

There was no point in accepting it, but Jiang Nannan was determined to repay this kindness.

There was really no other way, but then he thought about it again. The clinic's reputation had been growing during this time, and Huo Yuhao was a bit too busy to handle it all by himself.

So they simply asked her to come to the clinic to help out, to assist him while he treated patients.

When encountering particularly difficult problems, it can also act as a power bank for your soul energy.

Moreover, they can chat occasionally, making the dull medical clinic life less monotonous, and from time to time listen to her share some of the knowledge taught at Shrek Academy, enriching their understanding of this world.

Sometimes, when Huo Yuhao looked at the bustling crowd outside and the busy girl beside him, he would think that this life in another world wasn't so bad.

After Jiang Nannan brought the medicinal herbs over, Huo Yuhao mixed them together, ground them into powder, and handed them to the waiting guests.

"Adding a little powder to your daily tea or soup can effectively replenish your Yang energy."

"Do not take more than one ounce a day, or you will get a nosebleed."

After the guests left, the clinic returned to tranquility, with only the gentle breeze playing a soothing melody through the curtains.

At such times, Huo Yuhao would always brew a pot of tea, and while drinking the tea, he would flip through the medical books of this world or the "Complete Guide to Soul Beast Soul Skills".

This unfamiliar yet fascinating knowledge not only enhanced Huo Yuhao's understanding of the world but also gradually increased his control over the [Understanding] authority.

He had a premonition that when his understanding of authority reached 5%, the authority would grant him some new abilities.

Just as Huo Yuhao was leisurely flipping through the books, Jiang Nannan walked over carrying a medical book.

During her time at the clinic, Jiang Nannan began to learn medical skills from Huo Yuhao.

She seemed to have taken a liking to the medical profession, which truly surprised Huo Yuhao.

I can't help but marvel at how this foreign butterfly has finally brought a fresh breeze to this continent.

Huo Yuhao was happy to see this change, as he had always believed that the development of the world could not be predetermined by fate.

Any situation can lead to different outcomes depending on the choices made.

This world is chaotic, full of randomness, and the future is always unknown.

Anyone who tries to plan their destiny and control their future, even a high-ranking god-king, will inevitably be devoured by fate.

So whenever Jiang Nannan asked Huo Yuhao about medical knowledge, he would always do his best to break down the knowledge and feed it to her bit by bit.

He wanted to know if Jiang Nannan would actually embark on a path of saving lives because of him.

Seeing Jiang Nannan engrossed in studying medical books, Huo Yuhao asked:
"Nannan, when does Shrek Academy start?"

Jiang Nannan tilted her head, her delicate face showing a hint of doubt, and said:
"There are forty days left before school starts, and at the latest, it cannot be more than one week after school starts."

"Does Brother Huo have any relatives who are going to Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully and then said:
"There is indeed someone I know who is going to Shrek."

"If you meet a girl named Xiao Xiao at Shrek Academy in the future, please look after her for me."

"Of course, that's within your capabilities."

Jiang Nannan silently repeated the name Xiao Xiao in her heart, then nodded firmly to Huo Yuhao. "Yes, I'll definitely help look after her if I have the chance."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the door; the last rays of the sun were completely enveloped in darkness. He said to Jiang Nannan:

Nothing much happened today.

"It's getting late, you can go home and take care of your mother now."

Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Well then, Brother Huo, I'll be leaving now."

"Oh, by the way, may I take this medical book back and borrow it?"

"I definitely won't lose the book!"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand gently and said to her, "Take it. It's not some rare medical book. It's just something worth ten silver soul coins. Take it back and look at it slowly."

Jiang Nannan left the clinic with her medical books in high spirits and walked along the main road leading to the West District.

Watching Jiang Nannan leave, Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, "Forty days."

"A month from now, regardless of whether you have broken through to level 10 soul power, you must go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"My two accounts haven't received their payments yet."

Huo Yuhao got up, walked to the door, glanced at the bright moonlight, closed the shop door, and began his meditation practice for the night in his bedroom on the second floor.

The bright moonlight pierced the darkness of the night like a silver sword, its cold light adding to the silence and desolation of the world.

Jiang Nannan was walking home. The roads in the western district were complicated, and the houses were not planned in any way, resulting in many narrow alleys.

Perhaps the underdeveloped economy of the western district is also related to this kind of unplanned construction.

At night, the streets of the western district are usually deserted, and the deep alleys are always breeding grounds for filth and depravity.

In other words, Jiang Nannan is strong enough not to be afraid of these things.

After all, with his strength approaching that of a Soul Master and his Shrek Academy background, he was considered a strong figure in Xuanfeng City.

Just as Jiang Nannan was passing through a small alley, a man's voice suddenly came from inside.

"Miss Jiang Nannan, I would like to make a deal with you."

Jiang Nannan stopped in her tracks, her eyes wary, her soul skill already poised to be unleashed. She knew exactly what kind of people roamed the alleys of the West District at night.

“Come out and talk. I won’t do business with people who hide their true intentions.”

The man chuckled softly and slowly emerged from the darkness, the silvery moonlight scattering across his face.

It was none other than Chen Wen, who had overheard Jiang Nannan and Xu Wei's conversation some time ago.

He looked at Jiang Nannan with a confident expression and said:

"This is a deal you absolutely won't refuse."

“I heard that your mother has a heart disease that no one can cure and needs the Xuanwu Divine Pill.”

"And I happen to have the Xuanwu Divine Pill here."

"But I need you to promise me one thing."

Jiang Nannan looked at the confident man in front of her with a strange expression and said:
“My mother’s health problems have been resolved, and I no longer need the Xuanwu Divine Pill.”

"goodbye!"

After saying that, Jiang Nannan left without even glancing at him, feeling that this person was definitely not a decent person.

The deal they're talking about is definitely not right.
