"You're making me embarrassed, my mother, my mother was injured and her dantian was shattered, leaving her weak. I don't even know when she will leave us like this!" Nan Jianjun, at such a young age, with a tender face still glistening with a few clear tears, spoke to Ling Mo Xie like a little adult.
Even Ling Mo Xie, who prided himself on being heartless, felt a pang of sadness. He looked at the only two Small Red Bottles left in his backpack and took one out, holding it in his hand. He said to Nan Jianjun, "This potion should help alleviate your mother's condition. If you trust me, you can give it to her!"
"This..." Nan Jianjun hesitated for a moment. Firstly, because Ling Mo Xie was a stranger and it felt wrong to take something from him for free; secondly, he was also worried about whether the potion might be harmful.
"Cough cough, spit!" From the bed behind them, the woman coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her complexion becoming even paler.
Nan Jianjun gritted his teeth and quickly walked over to take the Small Red Bottle from Ling Mo Xie's hand, saying, "Thank you! If it really works, I, Nan Jianjun, will follow you and serve you for ten years!"
"No need for that; it's nothing to me!" Ling Mo Xie quickly waved his hand. This child was only thirteen years old; if he were on Earth, he would still be at the age of studying. Why would he want him to follow him?
Holding the Small Red Bottle, Nan Jianjun approached the bed but gritted his teeth. Seeing his mother like this, she wouldn't last much longer. He decided to take a chance; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope!
Carefully supporting the woman, Nan Jianjun opened the cap of the Small Red Bottle and slowly poured the bright red liquid into her mouth. To Ling Mo Xie's relief, it seemed that the Small Red Bottle was also effective for people in this world.
After drinking from the Small Red Bottle, the woman's complexion became much rosier, and she stopped coughing. She opened her eyes that had been tightly shut but still looked very weak as she leaned against the bed. She gently stroked Nan Jianjun's face with her hand and said, "Jianjun, don't worry about me! With your talent, you could easily find a sect to join instead of hiding with me."
Seeing his mother say this after feeling slightly better made Nan Jianjun's expression change. He angrily replied, "Mother! Don't even think about it! No matter what you say, I won't leave you behind. Even if I don't join a Sect, I can still become strong and go back for revenge!"
"Well then, I'll take my leave now! Tomorrow I might obtain an Elixir that can help with healing and recovery; I'll bring it to you then!" Ling Mo Xie watched this warm scene and thought of his family back on Earth. He wondered how they were doing since he had crossed over. He said to Nan Jianjun in a low voice.
If possible, he truly wanted to heal Nan Jianjun's mother.
At this moment, the woman noticed Ling Mo Xie at the door and weakly said, "Is this your potion? Thank you so much! Why don't you take Sword Lord with you? Don't worry about me being a burden!"
"Mother! What are you saying?" Nan Jianjun said angrily, settling his mother Mu Qiuniang comfortably on the bed before turning to Ling Mo Xie and saying, "Brother Mo Xie, let me escort you out!" He gestured for Ling Mo Xie to go ahead and, without looking back, told Little White Dog, "Little White, take good care of my mother!"
Little White Dog didn't bark; it simply nodded in a human-like manner. Since Ling Mo Xie first saw Little White Dog, he had never heard it bark!
"Alright! Let's go! Thank you!" Ling Mo Xie glanced at Mu Qiuniang once more and followed Nan Jianjun outside.
As soon as they reached the courtyard, Nan Jianjun suddenly knelt in front of Ling Mo Xie and said firmly, "Thank you for your potion! It has spared my mother from such suffering. I mean what I say; as long as my mother can take care of herself or passes away, I will follow you and obey your commands!"
This sudden kneeling caught Ling Mo Xie off guard. He thought to himself that a child shouldn't have to act so mature, kneeling down at every turn and talking about obeying commands.
"No need for that! To me, this is just a small effort. Please get up!" Ling Mo Xie pulled Nan Jianjun up and said, "It's getting late; I still need to buy some spiritual herbs. Please show me the way out!"
"Spiritual herbs? Are you an Alchemist?" Nan Jianjun exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder you have such miraculous potions! I used to hunt spirit beasts and sold spirit stones to buy a first-level spirit pill for my mother, but it was completely useless! I thought her dantian was shattered beyond repair!"
"Alchemist? Well, I suppose that's one way to put it," Ling Mo Xie nodded. He didn't want to explain the System to Nan Jianjun and simply added, "The potion earlier was for replenishing blood; it was very useful for me but might not help your mother much. I'm preparing to refine a healing pill now; it should be more effective. I'll bring it to you tomorrow once it's ready!"
"Tomorrow!" Nan Jianjun exclaimed. "Are you saying it only takes you one day to refine that kind of pill? How is that possible?"
Ling Mo Xie felt awkward with Nan Jianjun's formal address and helplessly said, "No need for all that 'you' and 'your'! Just stick with how we were before! Do other Alchemists take a long time to refine their pills?"
"Are you blaming me for my previous rudeness?" Nan Jianjun's mood visibly brightened upon learning that there might be hope for his mother’s condition, and he even started joking with Ling Mo Xie.
Once again, Ling Mo Xie heard the surprise in the voice of the Alchemist regarding the time it takes for alchemy. He nodded and replied, "I used to have Alchemists at home too! They were all so full of themselves! Just casually refining a pill would take them seventy-seven or eighty-one days! What a hassle!"
Ling Mo Xie took this to heart; other Alchemists took a long time to refine? This was an advantage for him!
In the midst of their conversation and laughter, they soon saw the wide road outside the forest. Ling Mo Xie’s face lit up with joy as he turned to Nan Jian Jun and said, "Sword Master! Look! We’re at the official road now! I know the way! Thank you! Hurry back and take care of your mother! I’m going to buy some spirit medicine!" With that, he waved goodbye to Nan Jian Jun and strode towards the road.
"Goodbye, Brother Mo Xie!" Nan Jian Jun waved back at Ling Mo Xie before turning and walking back into the forest. In no time, he disappeared among the hurried trees.
Ling Mo Xie walked along the main road, humming a tune while using his agile movements to speed towards Tianfeng City! After all, it had taken quite a while just to reach this Liming Forest by sedan chair, so it couldn’t be very close to Tianfeng City.
"Giggling!" Unbeknownst to Ling Mo Xie, behind him in a carriage, a young maid dressed as a servant laughed heartily and pointed at him while speaking to a Young Master who held her in his arms, saying, "Young Master, look! That person is so funny! Swerving around like that is hilarious!"
