Wang Xinyao's heart skipped a beat. A strange intuition told her that she had finally touched upon the key to solving the problem. However, just as she was about to make a final push, further enhance her strength, and begin refining the Spirit Gathering Pill, a faint but distinct sound of footsteps reached her ears.

"Could it be... daybreak?" Wang Xinyao was startled and subconsciously stopped what she was doing. Listening carefully, the footsteps became more distinct. Without a doubt, a new day had arrived outside.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I never thought that I would spend a whole night in this space without realizing it!"

Thinking of this, she shook her head with regret. Refining the Soul Gathering Pill wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight, and it probably wouldn't be successful in a short period of time. After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xinyao, despite her reluctance, could only choose to let it go for the time being.

So she quickly took out her cell phone and carefully photographed every page of the book that contained the magical skills secrets.

The moment she stepped out of the space with the ancient book and skills, the morning sun shone on her body, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

At this moment, Zhao Haoxuan was seriously instructing Xie Dahua and the others in their training. Xie Xiaoduo was also following their lead, learning every move in a very precise manner!

Meanwhile, Xie Xiaogang was happily driving his brand new carriage, loading it with cargo in an orderly fashion. Ever since Wang Xinyao had purchased this carriage for him, Xie Xiaogang had been riding high and enjoying himself. He could now travel to Ping'an City as many as three times a day, and his wages had skyrocketed from one tael of silver per month to five taels, a fact that had him grinning from ear to ear all day long.

Li Cuihua skillfully brought the steaming hot food to the table and greeted them with a smile. After breakfast, Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Jingyuan prepared to go to the back mountain to practice.

Wang Xinyao took out the yellowed ancient book. She handed it to Zhao Haoxuan and said, "This secret manual of martial arts may be helpful to you."

Zhao Haoxuan took the secret book and flipped through it curiously. The cover was ancient and worn, as if it had been through countless years. But surprisingly, the paper inside was extremely well-preserved, showing no signs of damage or fading. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of secret book is this? It looks so old, but the paper quality is so good!"

Chen Jingyuan standing by was also filled with surprise.

Wang Xinyao lowered her head slightly and explained with a guilty conscience, "This is what I saw an old man selling on the street when I went to the county town last time. I thought the book was quite interesting, and the exercises described in it seemed quite good, so I bought it. You two can take it for reference."

Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to Wang Xinyao's words. They quickly headed to the back mountain. After the fierce battle last night, they felt they could break through at any time, and the back mountain was undoubtedly the best place to practice! After thanking Wang Xinyao, they hurriedly ran towards the back mountain.

After Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Jingyuan left, Wang Xinyao adjusted her skirt and prepared to board the carriage for Ping'an Town. Just as she grasped the reins, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. She turned and saw Xie Bohong hurriedly approaching, closely followed by Xie Shiya. Xie Shiya's eyes were slightly red, clearly having just cried.

This sudden scene surprised Wang Xinyao, and she wondered to herself: Why didn't they go to work today? Did something serious happen?

"Dad, why are you here?" Wang Xinyao quickly tied the reins in her hand again, a friendly smile instantly appeared on her face, and she quickly walked forward.

However, Xie Baiheng seemed to be hesitant to speak. His lips moved a few times, but he still couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Xie Shiya, who was standing by, could no longer suppress her inner anxiety. She knelt down in front of Wang Xinyao with a plop and begged in a tearful voice, "Xinyao, please go and save my mother!"

Seeing this, Wang Xinyao asked with a confused look on her face, "What happened?"

"Xinyao, my mother is dying, please go and save her! I know my mother has wronged you before. To be honest, I hate her too, but she is my mother after all!" Xie Shiya said while crying.

"Last night, she didn't come back at all. I was too lazy to care about her and went to sleep first, but she didn't come back this morning either. When we found her this morning, she was lying in a pile of grass not far ahead. Her mouth was full of blood, her leg was broken, her whole body was frozen stiff, and she was unconscious! I really don't know who she offended!" Xie Baihong said slowly.

"Last night?" Wang Xinyao was puzzled, but then her mind became clear as a mirror: "No wonder those men in black were able to find her yard so accurately. It turned out that it was Mrs. Xie who led the way. She really did bring disaster upon herself. This is really her karma!"

Seeing that Wang Xinyao didn't say anything, Xie Baihong pleaded, "Xinyao, I know you hate her, but please save her for my sake. She and I have been married for decades, and I can't just watch her die!"

"Xinyao, I beg you too!" Xie Shiya also said!

"Alright!" Wang Xinyao sighed and agreed! She thought to herself, "Although Mrs. Xie is the first person Wang Xinyao hates the most since she came to this ancient world, it's just a personal grudge between small people after all, and she has also been punished. Forget it, let's go and see the situation first!"

Several people came to where Mrs. Xie was living now. Mrs. Xie was already lying in bed. Even though there was a charcoal fire in the house, her body temperature had not yet recovered!

Wang Xinyao carefully examined her body. It seemed she had suffered a lot last night. Not only had her tongue been pulled out, but one of her legs was also broken. She was seriously injured in such a freezing cold weather, and had to lie down all night. Fortunately, she had been in excellent physical condition before, otherwise, an ordinary person would have died last night!

Out of consideration for Xie Bohong's kindness, Wang Xinyao decided to save her. Her tongue had been removed, and she was now unable to speak. She was also unable to speak about what happened last night. As for her lame leg, she would provide her with pain relief!

Wang Xinyao took out the silver needle and pierced the acupuncture points on Mrs. Xie's body several times. Gradually, Mrs. Xie's cold body improved slightly, her fingers trembled slightly, and consciousness began to slowly return. She was finally saved!

Wang Xinyao prescribed some herbs and gave them to Xie Baihong, instructing him on how to make the medicine and take care of the patient.

Xie Baihong nodded repeatedly, Xie Shiya thanked her repeatedly, and even Xie Erzhu, who had been sitting aside without saying a word, gave her a grateful look!

Wang Xinyao looked at the frail Mrs. Xie. Although she felt resentful, she still said, "Let her rest well. She will be able to get out of bed in ten days. However, she will never be able to speak again and will be a cripple for the rest of her life."

"Thank you, Xinyao!" Xie Baihong murmured to himself, "That's fine. At least I can save my life and avoid getting into trouble again!"
