"Master Jiaomu?"
Leng Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
Who in the capital city today doesn't know the name of Master Jiaomu? The Five Mysterious Spiritual Pills, Six Mysterious Spiritual Pills, and Seven Mysterious Treasure Pills are all the rage in the capital city, making Master Jiaomu the most sought-after alchemist in the entire capital city, second only to the national teacher Ling Juechen and Pure Yang Zhenren in reputation.
If Master Jiaomu is willing to help, there will be hope for my mother's illness to be cured!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Master Jiaomu. Leng Feng kowtows to you!"
Leng Feng's eyes were filled with excitement, and he actually knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Ling Xiao and Master Jiao Mu.
This cold, arrogant and stubborn young man, even though Ling Xiao saved his life, his waist was straight and upright, not bending at all.
But for the sake of his mother, he knelt down willingly.
Such people are worthy of respect!
Ling Xiao's eyes also showed a hint of appreciation, and he quickly helped Leng Feng up and said, "There is no time to lose, let's go!"
"Okay! Both of you follow me!"
Leng Feng stood up, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up the dirty boy, and hurried towards the north city with Ling Xiao.
The North City can be said to be a chaotic place in the royal capital. The government there is very weak, and it is mostly a place for poor people to live. It is a mixed crowd with many gangs and is very complicated.
The dirty boy was named Zhang Xiaonian, an orphan. He lay on Leng Feng's side, looking at Ling Xiao with curiosity.
Moreover, he was not afraid of strangers. After getting acquainted with Ling Xiao along the way, he began to talk incessantly.
Ling Xiao also learned a lot about Leng Feng from Zhang Xiaonian.
It turned out that two years ago, after Leng Juyuan died in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, Leng Feng and his mother were driven out of the General's Mansion and had been living in the slums of the North City.
The terrain there is complex, with all kinds of creatures, making it difficult to find.
Mrs. Leng was devastated by Leng Juyuan's death. She once went to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range alone to look for Leng Juyuan's whereabouts. Not only did she not find Leng Juyuan, but she also fell seriously ill. She would have an attack almost every half a month. Although Leng Feng consulted many doctors, there was no improvement.
Moreover, over the past few months, the condition has shown signs of getting worse, with an attack occurring almost every few days.
"Auntie just had an attack yesterday, but I didn't expect she would have another attack today! Brother Ling Xiao, you must save Auntie. She is a good person and she is very kind to us!"
Xiaonian blinked his big eyes and looked at Lingxiao expectantly.
"Don't worry, Xiaonian, I will do my best!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
They ran all the way, passing through several streets and alleys, and arrived at the northern city area.
This is a chaotic area with all kinds of people. It is a slum and dignitaries rarely come here.
The ferocious men on the roadside looked at Ling Xiao, Master Jiao Mu and others with doubts in their eyes.
How could such a nobleman come to a place like North City
Ling Xiao just emanated a powerful aura, and instantly those malicious gazes were shocked and retracted as if frightened.
Passing through a dark alley, Ling Xiao followed Leng Feng to a small courtyard at the end.
This small courtyard looks very simple, but it is kept very clean. There are several plum trees in the yard, which add a bit of warmth in the winter sunshine.
"Brother Leng is back!"
Suddenly, several dirty children rushed out from the small yard, some hugged their legs, some held hands, and some hung on Leng Feng like a koala, with anxious looks on their faces.
These children looked no more than six or seven years old, and each of them looked very smart. There was even a little girl with pigtails who had a pacifier in her mouth and stretched out her arms towards Leng Feng.
"Brother Leng, please go and see Auntie! She's sick again. She's so cold. We lit so many fires but it's useless!"
The little girl said in a coquettish voice, her big eyes full of anxiety.
"Yan Yan, be good, I'll go check it out right away!"
There was a hint of tenderness in Leng Feng's eyes. He pulled the naughty monkeys off his body and then walked quickly into the house.
There were more than a dozen braziers placed in the house, and the charcoal emitted a warm glow, but there was no warmth in the entire room. It was even colder than outside, which made people shiver.
A middle-aged woman was lying on the bed. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes and looked calm and gentle. Although she looked a little weathered, it was obvious that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
But she looked in very bad condition now. Her face was very pale, without a trace of blood, and her lips were purple. Although she was covered with several quilts, she was still trembling slightly.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"
Leng Feng's face was full of anxiety. He walked over quickly and grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand. It was icy cold to the touch, and it was chilling to the heart.
But Madam Leng didn't react at all, her eyes were closed, and she looked so haggard that it was heartbreaking.
"Don't touch her! She's already unconscious. Move aside, let me take a look!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and when he saw Madam Leng's current state, his eyes instantly became solemn.
Leng Feng looked anxious and apprehensive, and could only look at Ling Xiao and Master Jiao Mu with hope. Master Jiao Mu was a famous alchemy master in the royal capital, and perhaps he could really cure his mother's illness.
But what surprised Leng Feng was that Master Jiao Mu stood there with a smile on his face and did not move, while Ling Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and put his finger on Madam Leng's wrist.
Could it be that the one who treated his mother was not Master Jiaomu, but Ling Xiao
Leng Feng's eyes were full of shock.
Ling Xiao ignored Leng Feng's surprise. A ray of energy emitting brilliant golden light entered Mrs. Leng's body and began to explore.
This investigation immediately made Ling Xiao frown.
"It's actually the cold miasma poison?!"
Ling Xiao opened his eyes, and there was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
"Cold miasma poison? What is that?"
Not only Leng Feng, but even Master Jiao Mu showed doubt in his eyes. He had never heard of the cold miasma poison before.
"Leng Feng, Madam Leng is not suffering from any disease, but poisoning! Judging from the condition of her body, she must have been poisoned when she went to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range two years ago. However, she was only slightly infected with the poisonous miasma at that time, and her own cultivation was also very high, so she was able to hold on for so long!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
In Ling Xiao's perception, Madam Leng actually had the cultivation level of a Grandmaster, but now she was corroded by the cold miasma poison and was not even as good as an ordinary person. The fire of her life was extremely weak and it seemed like it would go out at any time.
