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

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the woman started coughing violently again.

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

The old man looked at the red lines on the handkerchief, tears welling up in his eyes, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "The doctor said that you will be fine after taking the medicine. Don't worry, just have a good rest!"

After the old man finished speaking, he put away the blood-stained handkerchief, carefully helped the woman lie down, and went to the backyard with the medicine bag to boil the medicine.

“Can this disease be cured?”

Sheng He raised his head and looked at Mu Yao, only to find that Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan had already leaned against each other and cried bitterly.

"Wow, they are so pitiful!"

"Wow, I want to find a man like this too!"

Sheng He: ...

Sheng He sighed softly, stopped looking at the two people who were crying, and jumped down from the roof cleanly.

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

"This is a recovery pill that can be used to treat internal injuries. You don't need to boil the medicine again. As long as your wife's eye disease is not congenital, this pill should be able to cure it."

The old man raised his head, and the moment he saw Sheng He's face clearly, his pupils trembled and he almost kneeled 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 bending down to thank Sheng He.

"Immortal's kindness is beyond my ability to repay. I... I..."

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

After Sheng He finished speaking, he took out another pill from the storage ring.

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

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

"My wife has been ill for quite a while. It's my fault. Our family is poor and we don't have money to hire a doctor. I finally got some Taixu soil back and thought I could cure Fen'er."

"The result... the result..." The old man wiped his tears, and his figure was extremely desolate.

"The doctor said that Fen'er will only live for two days. Fen'er and I have spent most of our lives together. Without Fen'er, I will not be able to live."

"Immortal, Immortal! Tell me, if you want me to do something, I will not blink an eye even if I have to go through fire and water!"

Sheng He shook his head and helped the old man up from the ground: "I don't need you to do anything. These two pills are just compensation for you waiting for me for so long today."

"No, no, you have helped me so much, I must thank you very much!"

“I…I…”

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 said hurriedly:

"Taixu Earth! Immortal, is that enough Taixu Earth for today? That's right!"

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

"Please keep this money. I will go to the Far North to dig more Taixu soil for you tomorrow!"

Speaking of Taixutu, Sheng He became interested. She returned the silver and said with a smile:

"No need for silver. I will be going to the Far North in a few days, and you will need to take care of the patient at home. You just need to tell me where the Great Void Land is, and I will go get it myself."

The old man lowered his head, sighed, and said after a while: "Okay, okay, as long as I can help the immortal."

"Taixutu is in the far north. There is a city called Snow Wind in the far north. The people of Snow Wind City have lived there for generations and know the far north very well."

"I also heard from the locals that if you want to find Taixutu, you must first buy a compass. After leaving Fengxue City, go east for ten miles and then north for twenty miles. There is an ice lake there."

"There is a strange fish in the ice lake. You have to find the fish first. Which direction the fish's mouth is facing? Then you can dig beside the ice lake. The top layer of soil is very hard. You have to dig up the top layer of frozen soil first. The Taixu soil is inside."

After saying this, the old man walked into the house, and after a while he came out holding a compass and a thick coat.

"My lord, this is what the innkeeper of the inn was kind enough to give me when I went to Snow Wind City. He gave me a coat and a compass. I have nothing to repay you with, but you must accept these things."

Sheng He accepted the jacket and compass with a smile: "Thank you, old man. I have something else to do so I will leave now. It is getting dark, you should also come in quickly."

The old man kept saying yes. He watched Sheng He walk away until his back disappeared. Then he trotted into the bedroom, clutching the two pills tightly.

"Xiao Fen'er! Xiao Fen'er! The gods have come to save you!"

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

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

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

The woman kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Under the dim candlelight, her cloudy eyes gradually became clearer, and everything around her seemed to become clearer.

She raised her hands in front of her face in surprise and said, "I... I can see clearly now?"

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

"Yes, the immortal has appeared and is here to save our lives!"

As the old man spoke, he kept kneeling in the direction where Sheng He 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 cents, not more or less.

…

The money she left should be enough for the old man to live on.

Sheng He walked in the darkness. Even though she had saved someone, her face looked very solemn.

In her previous life, Sheng He had been to the Far North three times, but she had never seen any Snow Wind City, let alone found any Ice Lake.

That ancient book did mention that Taixutu was near Jinghu Lake. Could it be that Jinghu Lake was the ice lake that the old man mentioned?

But if this is true, why is the Taixu soil dug by the old man fake?

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

The spiritual energy of the black soil is still thin, and it looks very different from the Taixu soil auctioned by Wanbao Auction House during the day.

Suddenly, Sheng He's face changed abruptly. She stared at the black soil in her hand without blinking, her heart beating wildly with nervousness.

In the middle of the black soil, a crystal green light is slowly flickering.

Sheng He held his breath and gently pushed away the black soil that was 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 monk noticed that there were seeds hidden in this ordinary black soil.

The spiritual energy and earth elements that Sheng He felt all came from these seeds.
