Gu Liyue didn't know how to answer him because no one was sure.

Lan Xiaoyu seemed to understand. He knew it was not that easy. Many doctors had failed to cure his mother before. He knew that his mother would be tortured by the disease forever.

His poor mother! How he wished someone could heal her.

After half an hour, the door finally opened and Tang Xiaoer walked out.

She was very tired, but in good spirits. Her clothes were a little dirty, and the traces of sweat on her face were not cleaned up carefully, as if she had just wiped them away casually.

But the pale and dead look on her face had dissipated a lot, and a smile was on her face.

Lan Xiaoyu ran over and stopped when he was one step away. He was afraid of knocking his mother down, so he reached out carefully, held his mother's hand, and helped her walk to the yard and sit down.

Tang Xiao'er raised her head and said eagerly, "Mr. Qiao, please help me take another look."

After taking the patient's pulse, Qiao Zhiwen thought to himself: He's actually recovered.

He said calmly, "There's nothing wrong. I'm just a little weak."

Gu Liyue asked, "Can I practice now?"

"can."

Lan Xiaoyu had originally thought that his mother's illness was incurable, but now he heard something. He looked at his mother with a bit of disbelief, and saw her nod.

He suddenly burst into tears. Knowing that his mother's illness was cured and he now had someone to rely on, he vented all the grievances he had accumulated before.

Tang Xiao'er helplessly took him into her arms, stroking his back and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry for making fun of you, brother and sister."

He paused, slowly stopped crying, and said embarrassedly with red eyes: "Sister, I'm not usually like this. How about I take you back?"

Gu Liyue looked at him and realized that she was still his child, but he had to maintain his image in front of everyone.

"No, I know the way."

"Then thank you, brother and sister, for healing my mother."

Gu Liyue nodded, glanced at Tang Xiaoer and said, "I'll come see you tomorrow and we'll talk about the medicine field."

Tang Xiaoer said, "Okay. Let's go to the Spiritual Herb Garden together tomorrow. I've wanted to go there for a while."

The two of them walked back to the rented yard. Along the way, Qiao Zhiwen seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Gu Liyue then slowly said, "Initially, I was unable to cultivate due to problems with my Dantian, but later I found the recipe for the elixir."

Qiao Zhiwen said, "I didn't expect that Madam Lan had the same situation as you. It's her luck that she met you."

"Do you want the recipe? If so, I'll copy it for you."

"Okay, even though it's an unconventional elixir, it's good to try it out. In case you run into someone with the same symptoms again in the future."

The two returned to the yard and sent a message to Nie Hengzhou. There were two yards, the three girls and Nie Hengzhou lived in one, and the remaining five boys lived in another.

Gu Liyue didn't see Nie Hengzhou until the evening, when he came knocking on her door.

The two chatted for a while, and Nie Hengzhou told her that he had visited the local government office and the Jukelou building today. Nothing seemed unusual there. The secret spice wasn't used there either.

"That spirit fish is not a rare food here on the seashore, or maybe it is also to conceal the origin of the magic grass!" Gu Liyue analyzed.

"Now all the clues on the surface are gone. We only know that the Magic Grass might have been transported here together with the Spirit Fish. Is it possible that they met up somewhere else and were then transported here?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. But since we're all here, we have to investigate further." Gu Liyue said, "Lan Xiaoyu's mother said today that she used to work in the Spiritual Herb Garden. I want to go with her tomorrow to the Spiritual Herb Garden to take a look. The Magic Herb must be grown somewhere."

"Then you pay attention to safety."

"I know. I only told Madam Lan that I wanted to go and look at the spiritual herbs to stock up for my family's shop. I didn't say anything else."

Nie Hengzhou looked at Gu Liyue intently and took out four invisibility talismans and a hairpin. "This is the invisibility talisman, take it and use it. This hairpin is a magical weapon I refined. It can withstand the full force of a Nascent Soul cultivator. You will wear it tomorrow."

Gu Liyue looked at the hairpin. The head of the hairpin was in the shape of a plum blossom, with three red plum blossoms arranged in an orderly manner. It looked delicate and uncomplicated.

Gu Liyue was a little panicked. She said, "I'll take the invisibility talisman, but I won't need the hairpin. I have a piece of armor and a mid-grade robe! I'll be careful when I go out."

Gu Liyue didn't know what accepting someone else's hairpin meant, and she didn't want Nie Hengzhou to misunderstand.

Nie Hengzhou looked at her determined expression, then looked at the hairpin that was not accepted, and had to put it away silently.

The next morning, Gu Liyue explained the situation to her friends and went to Lan Xiaoyu's house.

Tang Xiaozhi looked much better, and it could be seen that Tang Xiaoer was once a beautiful woman.

When she saw Gu Liyue coming, she took her to the outskirts of the city, and the two chatted as they walked.

To be precise, it was Tang Xiaoer who was talking and Gu Liyue who was listening.

"My husband and I settled in Xiyun City seven years ago. I only worked there for two months. Then I got injured, and my belly got bigger, so I never went back."

Gu Liyue listened carefully and responded at the appropriate time.

"My husband's salary was only enough for the two of us. After I gave birth to Xiaoyu, he came back one day and said that his boss asked him to go out of town to deliver goods and the salary would be higher."

"After that, his visits home gradually became less frequent. At first, when he didn't have time to go home, he would ask his friends to send him spirit stones. But about half a year ago, he stopped sending spirit stones and hasn't sent any news back. I don't know what his current situation is."

"I'm not in good health, and my child is still young, so I can't go out. In fact, I've always wanted to go to the Spiritual Herb Garden, at least to know what his situation is."

Tang Xiaoer intuitively felt that Gu Liyue must have something special to ask for the Lingcao Garden, otherwise she wouldn't have paid for that expensive-looking pill.

Because of her husband's situation, she also felt that the Spiritual Herb Garden might be more than just a spiritual herb garden. So she chattered a lot to Gu Liyue along the way, wanting her to understand more about the situation.

After they left the city, Gu Liyue asked, "How far is this place from the Spiritual Herb Garden?"

"It'll take half a day to walk."

"I'll take you on my sword, and you show me the way."

So the two of them flew up on their swords. Tang Xiaoer was very excited throughout the whole process and even laughed out loud.

She had been able to fly a sword before, and she had felt the joy of flying a sword in her dreams countless times in the middle of the night.

After waking up and seeing Xiaoyu, although she felt sorry that she could no longer live so freely, she felt that it was worth it. Maybe Lan Xiao was not worth her efforts, but Xiaoyu was.

Now she can practice again, thanks to Gu Liyue. No matter what she wants to do, as long as it is not against the law, she will do her best to help her.
