Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 28 The Mark of Life Heals Jiang's Mother

"Oh, okay, sir."

Jiang Nannan helped her mother walk slowly over, and after sitting on the carpet, she handed her mother a grilled fish: "Mom, you should try some too."

The old man smelled the grilled fish and felt that the rice in his bowl didn't smell as good as usual, so he couldn't help but buy a few grilled fish from Huo Yuhao.

Jiang Nannan took a bite of the grilled fish, her watery eyes brightening slightly. She felt a release of the pent-up emotions she had been suppressing because she couldn't cure her mother's illness, and a long-lost sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.

After taking a bite, Jiang's mother also tasted the deliciousness of the grilled fish, but her focus was on how well he could grill fish at such a young age. He must have experienced a lot in his childhood...

While eating, Huo Yuhao chatted with Tianmeng Bingcan about some things.

"Yuhao, this time we're going deep into the far north. The temperature in the core area of ​​the far north is very low. You should be able to withstand it with your strange fire protecting you, right?"

"Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, there's no cold in the far north that can rival the strange fire."

Huo Yuhao reassured Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Moreover, even if you don't have enough soul power when you release the strange fire to protect yourself, you can take a Soul Returning Pill to replenish it."

"Yuhao, how are we going to get there? Are we going to walk?"

"Buy a snow sled in Tiandou City; it'll be faster."

Huo Yuhao has the Soul Returning Pill, so he is not afraid of the consumption of soul power. He can use soul power to propel the snow sled forward continuously, which is definitely much faster than walking.

Jiang Nannan was eating half of her grilled fish when she suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Yuhao: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Nannan. What's yours, little brother?"

"Huo Yuhao, you can just call me Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao responded, put the grill back into his storage ring, and released a burst of cold air to extinguish the campfire.

Jiang Nannan could tell that Huo Yuhao had good talent, and asked curiously, "Yuhao, what brings you to Tiandou City? Are you planning to enroll at the Royal Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

"Actually, my real destination wasn't Tiandou City; I just happened to be passing through here."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, "Since we're already here... I used my family's alchemy skills to refine some pills before, and I can exchange them for some money in Tiandou City to buy some rare metals."

Jiang Nannan keenly noticed the word "pill." Having taken her mother to see doctors for so long, she had become extremely sensitive to words like "medicine," "diagnosis," and "treatment."

"Yuhao, can I see your pills?"

Jiang Nannan would naturally not miss any possibility. Over the years, she had studied almost every medicine in various pharmacies for her mother's illness, so studying one more medicine wouldn't hurt.

Meeting Jiang Nannan's earnest gaze, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, slowly nodded, and took out a light green pill from his storage ring—the Soul Returning Pill.

"Here it is."

Jiang Nannan took the pill and was studying it when she suddenly heard her mother call out, "Nannan..."

She turned her head and noticed that her mother's originally pale cheeks had a touch of rosiness.

Jiang Nannan didn't have time to react emotionally and quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Nannan, Mom feels like this pill might have some effect on me."

The sudden appearance of dawn made Jiang Nannan tremble all over.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled and asked telepathically, "Elder Yi, isn't the effect of this Soul Returning Pill to restore soul power? How can it have a healing effect?"

After a moment's thought, Electrox said, "When we were refining the pills, I used your Life Seal at the same time, so the pills we refined all contained a trace of life."

"The fact that this girl's mother reacted so strongly to the signs of life suggests that some organ in her body is failing."

"However, the life force in the Soul-Returning Pill is negligible. It is difficult to improve the condition simply by increasing the number of Soul-Returning Pills."

Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed possible. After all, even Elder Yi's consciousness could be slowly restored by the Life Gold, so its healing ability was undoubtedly top-notch on the continent.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan's eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and she eagerly asked, "Little brother, how much is this pill? How many are there in total? I'll buy them all."

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan took out a small bag of gold soul coins from her storage soul tool. The bag was about the size of a palm and contained all the gold she had saved up over the years. She handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Sister Nan, please don't get agitated."

Huo Yuhao explained, "This pill is not meant to heal injuries; it just happens to contain a trace of life force."

"Yuhao, do you mean there's only one of these pills?" Jiang Nannan's eyes reddened.

"It's not just one." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sister Nannan, can you tell me what illness Auntie has?"

Old Master Yi said it was due to a decline in vitality. He believed that as long as the affected area was identified, the problem could be fundamentally solved by harnessing the abundant vitality of the Life Gold.

A bitter look appeared on Jiang Nannan's face as she told the truth.

"I took my mother to see doctors in other cities many times before, and all the doctors' diagnoses could only show that it was a heart problem, a very complex heart disease."

"But they don't know exactly what's wrong with the heart, and the doctors are helpless. They can only prescribe a lot of heart medications to relieve the symptoms as much as possible."

Having cared for her mother's treatment for so long, Jiang Nannan understood what the doctors were doing. They were simply trying to prolong her mother's life to prevent the condition from worsening and taking her life.

Jiang Nannan stared silently at the pill in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yuhao, since you know how to make medicine, could you take a look at my mother? I can pay you double the doctor's fee at the clinic."

Huo Yuhao's lips moved slightly. He could indeed refine some simple pills, but he had never done anything like treating illnesses. The only method he could think of was to use mental detection to see what problems the other person had.

"Sister Nan, I have a special soul skill that can help take a look at Auntie, but I can't guarantee that I can find the specific cause of her illness."

Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up. "It's okay, Yuhao. Anyway, so many doctors can't diagnose it. I'm already very grateful that you can help my mother."

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan bid farewell to the old man. Jiang Nannan, a four-ring Soul Master, carried her mother without much difficulty.

The three entered Tiandou City, and Jiang Nannan took Huo Yuhao directly to a hotel and booked a room.

Jiang Nannan carried her mother on her back and laid her flat on the bed. Although Jiang's mother looked extremely pale and sickly, she still possessed the charm and gentleness of a mature woman.

Huo Yuhao took Jiang Nannan's mother's hand, released a wisp of soul power, and sent it into her body.

With the activation of the Life Seal on her forehead, Jiang's mother's complexion visibly became rosy, but this was merely a superficial appearance caused by the entry of life force into her body.

To pinpoint exactly where the life force is depleted, it would be necessary to use a soul skill.

Mental detection... Huo Yuhao was extremely conflicted.

"What's wrong, Yuhao?" Jiang Nannan noticed that Huo Yuhao's expression was off and quickly asked.

Huo Yuhao explained his mental detection to Jiang Nannan. The three-dimensional image displayed was incredibly detailed, as if he had seen her mother from every angle.

Jiang Nannan was stunned for a moment, and made a decision almost instantly: illness is not something to be ashamed of when it comes to medical treatment. What does this matter compared to her mother's health?

"I agree, you can just focus on checking it."
