"Sleep a little longer, I'll go make you some medicine!"

No sooner had the old man finished speaking than the woman coughed violently again.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough! Do you think my illness can really be cured?"

The old man looked at the thin red lines on the handkerchief, tears welling up in his eyes, but he still tried to sound relaxed and said, "The doctor said that you'll definitely get better after taking the medicine, so don't worry, just get some rest!"

After the old man finished speaking, he put away the blood-stained handkerchief, carefully helped the woman lie down, and then took the medicine packet to the backyard to brew the medicine.

Is this disease curable?

Sheng He looked up at Mu Yao, only to find that Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan had already been hugging each other and crying.

"Waaaaah, they're so pitiful!"

"Waaaaah, I want to find a man like that too!"

Sheng He: ...

Sheng He sighed softly, no longer looking at the two people crying with tears in their eyes, and decisively jumped off the roof.

She walked straight to the old man in the backyard who was brewing medicine and handed him a pill.

"This is a recovery pill, which can be used to treat internal injuries. There's no need to brew this medicine anymore. As long as your wife's eye disease is not congenital, this one pill should be enough to cure it."

The old man looked up, and the moment he saw Sheng He's face, his pupils trembled, and he almost knelt down.

"Immortal...you are an immortal!"

"Thank you, immortal, for saving my life! Thank you, immortal, for saving my life!"

Sheng He quickly helped the old man up.

The old man clasped his hands together and kept bowing to thank Sheng He.

"I can never repay the immortal's great kindness, I...I..."

Sheng He waved his hand: "No need to thank me, it was just a small favor."

After Sheng He finished speaking, she took out another pill from her storage ring.

"This is a Qi-boosting pill. Your wife has been lying in bed for too long, and her body is weak. She may have difficulty walking for a while. She just needs to get out of bed and walk around more each day."

The old man was in tears. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. After a long while, he knelt down with a thud.

“My wife has been sick for a long time. It’s my fault. We’re poor and don’t have the money to hire a doctor. I finally managed to get some Taixu soil back, thinking it would be able to cure Fen’er’s illness.”

"The result...the result..." The old man wiped away his tears, his figure utterly desolate.

"The doctor said Fen'er only has two days left. Fen'er and I have spent most of our lives together. Without Fen'er, I can't go on living."

"Immortal, Immortal! Tell me, what do you need this old man to do? I'll go through fire and water without batting an eye!"

Sheng He shook his head and helped the old man up from the ground: "There's nothing I need you to do. Consider these two pills as compensation for waiting for me for so long today."

"No, no, you've helped me so much, I really need to thank you properly!"

"me……"

The old man looked around, but his house was bare, and he had nothing to give away. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly said:

"Void Earth! Immortal, is there enough Void Earth for today? By the way!"

The old man handed Sheng He the one or two taels of silver he had left over from buying medicine.

"Please keep this money. I'll go to the far north tomorrow and dig up more Void Soil for you!"

Speaking of the Void Soil, Sheng He became interested. She returned the silver and smiled:

"No need for silver. I'm going to the far north in a few days, and you need to take care of the patient at home. Just tell me where the Taixu Soil is, and I'll go get it myself."

The old man lowered his head, sighed, and after a long while said, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as it can help the immortal."

"The Great Void Land is located in the far north. In the far north, there is a Snowstorm City. The people of Snowstorm City have lived there for generations and know the far north very well."

"I heard it from the locals. To find the Void Land, you need to buy a compass first. After leaving Wind and Snow City, go east for ten miles, then north for twenty miles. There is a frozen lake there."

“There is a strange fish in that frozen lake. You have to find that fish first. Whichever way the fish’s mouth is facing, you should dig next to the frozen lake. The top layer of soil is very hard. You have to dig through the top layer of frozen soil first. Inside is the Taixu Soil.”

After the old man finished speaking, he went into the house, and a little while later he came out carrying a compass and a thick coat.

“Immortal, when I went to Snowstorm City, the kind innkeeper there gave me a coat and a compass. I have nothing to repay you with, so please accept these things.”

Sheng He smiled and accepted the coat and compass: "Thank you, sir. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to leave now. It's getting late, so please come inside quickly."

The old man repeatedly agreed. He watched Sheng He walk away until his figure disappeared completely, then clutched the two pills tightly and ran into his bedroom.

"Little Fen'er! Little Fen'er! A fairy has come to save you!"

He called her several times before the woman slowly woke up.

The old man carefully helped the woman up and fed her the medicine with warm water.

"Old man, what...what did you just say? What deity?"

The woman kept wiping away the tears streaming down her face. In the dim candlelight, her cloudy eyes gradually cleared, and everything around her seemed to become clear.

She raised her hand in surprise and waved it in front of her: "I... I can see clearly now?"

"I can see now, old man, I can see now!"

"Yes, it's like a miracle! They've come to save our lives!"

As the old man spoke, he kept kneeling and bowing in the direction Sheng He had left. When he looked up, he saw a piece of gold and a few taels of silver quietly placed on the table.

The amount of silver was exactly eight taels and eight mace.

……

The money she left behind should be enough for the elderly to live on.

Sheng He walked in the darkness. Although she had saved someone, her expression was very solemn.

In her previous life, Sheng He had been to the far north three times, but she had never seen a snow-covered city, let alone found an ice lake.

That ancient book does mention that Taixu Earth is near Mirror Lake. Could Mirror Lake be the Ice Lake that the old man was talking about?

But if that's the case, why is the Taixu soil that the old man dug up fake?

Thinking of this, Sheng He took out the handkerchief from her storage ring and slowly opened it.

The spiritual energy of the black soil was still thin, and it looked very different from the Taixu Soil that Wanbao Auction House had auctioned during the day.

Suddenly, Sheng He's expression changed abruptly. She stared intently at the black soil in her hand, her heart pounding nervously.

In the middle of the black soil, a glittering green light is slowly shimmering.

Sheng He held his breath and gently brushed aside the black soil blocking the green light.

It was a seed, the size of a grass seed, and the light it emitted was not very strong.

So during the day, neither she nor the young cultivator discovered that seeds were hidden in this ordinary black soil.

The spiritual energy and earth element that Shenghe sensed all originated from these seeds.
