"Xiaolan, I'm here..."

A weak voice came from the kitchen.

Nie Xiaolan quickly ran over, and Ye Feng and the other two naturally followed closely behind.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan saw a middle-aged man lying on the kitchen floor.

The man looked to be around forty years old, with dark skin and a face full of wrinkles.

At forty years old, he shouldn't look this old, but he's prematurely aged, which is clearly due to his work in the mines and the effects of the smoke and dust.

Moreover, his right leg was wrapped in a white cloth strip, which was stained with blood, making him look extremely pitiful.

"Dad, why are you lying here!"

Nie Xiaolan called out and hurriedly ran over to help the middle-aged man up from the ground.

The man said with a wry smile, "I was hungry and wanted to get something to eat, but you and your mother weren't home, so I came to the kitchen by myself... I didn't expect to slip and fall here."

"Your leg is injured, so don't move around too much," Nie Xiaolan said in a complaining tone.

Then Nie Xiaolan looked at Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing and said, "He is my father, Nie Gang. My mother, Liu Xiaoyun, is still working odd jobs at the mine and hasn't come back yet... but she should be back soon."

"Um."

The night breeze nodded slightly, sizing up Nie Xiaolan's father, Nie Gang.

Ye Feng's eyes emitted a faint golden light, because he was currently using a pupil technique—the Golden Eyes of Myriad Laws.

Under the gaze of the Golden Eyes of Ten Thousand Laws, Nie Xiaolan's father, Nie Gang, suddenly felt as if Ye Feng could see through him from head to toe, as if he had no secrets whatsoever in front of Ye Feng.

And that is indeed the case.

Nie Gang was just an ordinary person; he was no match for Ye Feng's Myriad Laws Golden Eyes.

So now, Ye Feng has seen Nie Gang's entire body clearly, and even knows everything about his internal organs.

After examining Nie Gang's body with the Golden Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Feng was surprised to find that the injury on Nie Gang's leg was actually not serious, and he could heal it easily.

The smoke and dust toxins in Nie Gang's body were not very serious.

That's really strange.

Logically speaking, Nie Gang, who lived in Huangyun Street for many years and worked in the mine every day, should have accumulated a lot of toxins from the gold and stone veins in his body.

That doesn't make sense!

That doesn't make sense!

"Xiao Lan, who are they...?" Nie Gang asked Nie Xiao Lan with a puzzled look.

Nie Xiaolan said with a smile, "Father, this is Mr. Ye Feng, and the two women next to him are Mr. Ye Feng's beloved wives—Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan."

"All three of them are martial artists, and they might even be experts!"

Upon hearing Nie Xiaolan say that Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing were all martial artists, Nie Gang was extremely surprised and puzzled.

In the eyes of these ordinary people, martial artists are all high and mighty beings, so how could they possibly come to a slum like theirs?

Could it be that this Mr. Yefeng has taken a liking to his daughter and wants her to be his concubine?

That doesn't make sense. Even if he really did like his daughter, there's no reason for him to bring both of his wives along.

Which man would bring his wife along when he goes to see a woman he likes?

Nie Gang thought to himself, but couldn't figure it out.

But Ye Feng's face showed a look of understanding.

"What's this?"

Night Breeze strode over and picked up a mushroom from the kitchen cutting board.

Nie Xiaolan glanced at the mushroom and said embarrassedly, "This is a kind of wild vegetable from our Huangyun Street area. We call it Sanxian mushroom. It tastes pretty good, but it doesn't look very appealing and isn't presentable... People here often pick this kind of wild Sanxian mushroom to cook, so we can save some food rations."

"Three Immortal Mushrooms?"

A smile crept onto Ye Feng's lips.

At this moment, Ye Feng understood why Nie Xiaolan's father, Nie Gang, didn't have much toxin in his body.

That's the purpose of this mushroom!

This mushroom is not the Three Immortals Mushroom at all, but a medicinal herb called Tianqing Mushroom!

Using Tianqing mushroom as the main ingredient, along with several very common Chinese medicinal herbs, one can refine a first-grade elixir—Tianqing Blood-Activating Pill.

The effect of Tianqing Huoxue Dan is to make the body's Qi and blood more active and abundant, accelerate the body's metabolism, and thus achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

Although the Heavenly Purification Blood-Activating Pill is just a very common first-grade elixir, its effects on ordinary people are extremely significant.

Nie Xiaolan's father often ate Tianqing mushrooms, so he could naturally obtain medicinal properties from them. In this way, most of the toxins in his body would be neutralized, or even more.

Therefore, the amount of toxins accumulated in Nie Gang's body was naturally not much!

"This mushroom isn't an ordinary wild vegetable; it's a medicinal herb called Tianqing mushroom, which is very beneficial to the body," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Really? But this kind of mushroom is just a very common wild vegetable here. There are plenty of them in the wild. Wealthy families wouldn't even look at them and would never eat them. The pharmacies in the city have never bought or sold this kind of mushroom either." Nie Xiaolan said in surprise and doubt.

"That's because you people here are short-sighted and lack knowledge, so you don't know the effects of the Tianqing mushroom," Ye Feng said, waving his hand and putting down the Tianqing mushroom in his hand.

Sun Muqing walked over and said, "Ye Feng, why don't you treat Xiao Lan's father's injuries first?"

"Um."

Ye Feng nodded and looked at Nie Xiaolan, saying, "Help your father outside. This place is too small; we can't move around freely here."

"OK!"

Nie Xiaolan nodded quickly, then helped her father walk outside.

Nie Gang felt a little uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Lan, what exactly did they come to our house for?"

"Dad, haven't you realized yet? These people are here to heal your injuries," Nie Xiaolan said with a giggle.

"Healing?" Nie Gang was extremely shocked.

“Do you doubt their ability? Let me tell you, Mr. Ye is very capable. Last night I injured my knee, and when he touched it, I felt my whole right leg getting warm. Then, in the blink of an eye, my leg injury was healed,” Nie Xiaolan said proudly.

Nie Gang quickly said, "Of course I don't doubt their abilities. Since they are all martial arts masters, it's only natural that they have the skill to heal people. What I don't understand is why they came here to heal me. What are they after? Our family doesn't have any money; we can't afford to hire martial arts masters to help us!"

Suddenly realizing something, Nie Gang looked his daughter up and down a few times, and tentatively asked, "Xiao Lan, are you with that Mr. Ye...?"

Nie Xiaolan's cheeks flushed slightly.
