Ning Shaoyang took the jade plaque and carefully asked the woman named Zhuge Mingzhu:

"Fairy, my mother is ill in bed. Do you have any elixir to cure her illness?"

Zhuge Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said:

"I don't have any elixirs to treat mortals here. The elixirs I take cannot be taken by mortals. They are harmful and useless."

When he said this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it passed quickly and Ning Shaoyang did not notice it.

Ning Shaoyang felt a little disappointed.

When he was a child, he heard some legends that the immortals had many miraculous elixirs, and any disease could be cured by taking one elixir.

He very much hoped that this fairy who could fly around in the air would give him an elixir to cure his mother's illness.

When he guarded Zhuge Mingzhu tremblingly, he probably wanted to get that imaginary elixir in return.

Otherwise, he really doesn't have the courage.

Zhuge Mingzhu was so seriously injured that he was able to survive after taking two pills, which also made him full of hope for the legendary elixir.

However, Zhuge Mingzhu's answer turned out to be no.

My hope was dashed, and I suddenly felt like crying.

He was silent for a while and said: "Since you are fine... then... I will go back..."

Zhuge Mingzhu closed his eyes, waved to him and said, "Go back."

After Ning Shaoyang walked a few steps, he said again: "Whenever you want to become an immortal, take that jade pendant and go to Taohao Gate to find me."

Ning Shaoyang paused for a moment, but did not answer her and continued walking forward.

Although he really wanted to cultivate immortality, if he left, there would be no one to take care of his bedridden mother, so he could only stay.

After finding the bundle of collected Huanyang grass, he chopped a small wooden stick with a hatchet, lifted it up and carried it on his shoulder as he walked towards Feixian City.

Zhuge Mingzhu was sitting there and suddenly opened his eyes, watching his back slowly disappearing, with a complicated expression on his face.

After a long time, he sighed and whispered:

"Since you can pull out this sword, then you are my chosen one. How can a cultivator be bound by family ties in the world? If you can't cut it off, let me cut it off for you!"

Although she has recovered somewhat from her injuries, she still does not have the strength to fly and does not dare to stay here for too long.

As soon as he realized something, a small boat over one foot long came out of the storage ring.

She held two swords as crutches, supported her body and stood up, climbing into the small boat with great difficulty.

During this period, blood continued to seep out of the body, and I don't know how many wounds were broken.

After entering, the small boat emits a milky white light and slowly rises into the sky. After reaching hundreds of feet in the air, it begins to fly eastward.

The speed was slow at first, but after a while, the speed became very fast.

When the small boat passed over Feixian City, her powerful consciousness swept across Feixian City, and she saw that the young man with the sword drawn had returned to the city, carrying the more than ten kilograms of Huanyang Grass.

Making a deal at a drug store.

The boat stayed in the sky above Feixian City for a while, and then flew away at a very fast speed.

When Ning Shaoyang returned to the city carrying the bundle of sun-returning grass, the roaring in his ears was no longer so severe, but he still felt a little nauseous.

If it weren't for this, he could collect more sun-returning grass.

On the way back, what he was most worried about was encountering wild animals.

With his current physical condition, he would not be able to resist even if he encountered a vicious wolf.

Fortunately, it was quiet along the way. Not to mention there were no wild animals, not even a hare or a bird.

I think I was still frightened by the aura of the harpy and had already hid somewhere else.

The bundle of Huanyang grass he collected weighed more than ten kilograms, and he took it to the drug store and sold it for more than 20 taels of silver.

But what he got was only more than a hundred coins.

Gold, silver, and copper in the Fairy Continent can be used as currency. The rule is that one tael of gold can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins.

But in these peaceful times, a bucket of rice is only sixty or seventy cents.

You can collect more than two taels of medicinal materials in one day, which is quite a considerable income.

However, this considerable income comes at the cost of life.

Most of the money he earned from selling the medicinal materials this time was exchanged for other medicinal materials in the pharmacy - medicine for his mother.

He kept the more than one hundred Wen because there was no rice at home and he had to leave some money to buy rice.

When I walked out of the drug store, more than ten kilograms of medicinal materials turned into about ten packets of medicine, which was enough for about ten days.

What to do after ten days?

Ning Shaoyang himself had no answer.

After my body recovers a bit, I will go to the west of the city to collect Yang-returning grass next time.

Currently, there is nothing more profitable than this.

Although it was very dangerous and he was on the verge of death every time, it was the most profitable job Ning Shaoyang could find.

I went to a rice store and bought more than ten kilograms of rice, packed it in a small cloth bag, and returned to a very dilapidated yard in the west of the city.

He used to live in the most splendid City Lord's Mansion in the city, but after being kicked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he could only buy the cheapest courtyard to live in.

The courtyard wall is crumbling and has experienced many years of ups and downs. The house inside is in disrepair. On heavy rainy days, it feels like light rain inside, and many pots and jars have to be placed to collect water.

However, there is some land in the yard where they can grow some vegetables, so they save money on buying vegetables.

When I got home, it was almost dark.

Ning Shaoyang opened the courtyard door, put the rice in the kitchen, and then went to his mother's room.

Ning's mother had been seriously ill for several years and spent most of the day lying in bed. She could only move around for a while with his support.

When Ning Shaoyang entered, Ning's mother asked in a weak voice:

"Shaoyang, what have you been doing? Why did you come back so late today? I'm so worried that something happened to you."

"Mom, I took a good job today and have to work for a day, so I came back late."

Ning Shaoyang did not dare to tell his mother that he had gone to a dangerous place in the west of the city. When he went out, he just told her to see if anyone wanted to do some work.

Before he went out, he didn't know when he would come back, so he made porridge with the remaining rice and put it in his mother's room so that she could drink the porridge.

His mother sat up from the bed tremblingly. She was not yet forty years old, but she already had white hair and looked very old.
