Ling Hu's home was located in the most remote corner of Ling Mansion, with only two thatched huts, which were even more dilapidated than Ling Xian's.

At this moment, Hu Ziniang was lying on the bed sickly, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were dull, and there was a dead air flowing around her body, looking like she was terminally ill, and her time was short.

She was just a mortal and didn't know how to cultivate, because she was married to a cultivator, that is, Ling Hu's father, her fragile mortal body could not withstand the cultivator's powerful essence, which led to the lack of innate essence and the loss of origin qi and blood after giving birth to Ling Hu at the beginning.

This kind of disease is rare, ordinary cultivators will not choose to combine with a mortal, but there are exceptions to everything, Ling Hu's deceased father has a soft spot for her, but unfortunately, the love story that was very beautiful at the beginning has become a tragedy now.

Originally, her condition was under control, but her body and bones have always been relatively weak. But three years ago, Ling Hu's father died in a family mission, this bad news made her extremely sad, her illness broke out all of a sudden, and her health became worse and worse, if it wasn't for Ling Hu, I'm afraid she would have died long ago.

"Ahem...... Huzi, don't be sad, my mother is going to accompany your father, so that he will not be lonely below. Hu Ziniang forced her mouth to speak, and her pale face could vaguely show the beauty of the past.

"Mother, I don't allow you to say stupid things, you will definitely be fine, you will!" Ling Hu's eyes rose a trace of mist, knelt in front of the bed, and grabbed her hand tightly.

Her dark eyes were dim, as if she thought of the good times she had with Ling Hu's father, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile, "Mother misses your father, cough cough...... If I hadn't been relieved of you, I would have wanted to go down and look at him, lest this dead ghost find you another Erniang, but with his clumsy appearance, it is estimated that no girl will marry him, hmph, it's just me, I didn't know how to get lost in my mind, and I followed him in the wind and rain, so many years have passed, and the years are in a hurry. ”

"Mother...... I don't want you to die!" Ling Hu was very sad and said eagerly: "Mother, you hold on for a few more days, and when the elixir of the Treasure Pavilion arrives, you can be cured!"

"You kid. Hu Ziniang shook her head, sat up from the bed forcefully, and said, "Go, bring the mirror to my mother." ”

Ling Hu nodded, turned around and found a mirror and handed it to her.

Looking at the pale face in the mirror that was covered with wind and frost and no longer beautiful, Hu Ziniang sighed softly, brushed the hair that hung down to her forehead behind her ears with her hand, and said: "I think back then, I was also a famous beauty, and there were many cultivators who pursued me, but Mother, I just fell in love with your father's elm pimple, and I liked his clumsiness and loyalty." ”

Ling Hu listened silently on the side, listening to all the good things that happened between those parents, and unconsciously, he was already in tears.

"What are you crying about? Wipe away your tears. Hu Ziniang gently reprimanded, said: "You are not a child anymore, you have to learn to be strong, after your mother is gone, you can only rely on yourself, your mother does not ask you to get ahead, the glory of your ancestors, as long as you can live peacefully in this treacherous world, your mother and your father can rest in peace under Jiuquan." ”

"Mother, don't say that. Ling Hu grabbed her hand tightly and said, "You will be fine, you will definitely be fine, hold on for a while, once the elixir of the Treasure Pavilion is delivered, you will be saved." ”

"Silly boy, ahem...... There is a definite number of birth, old age, sickness and death, and my mother should have died a long time ago, but God can't bear to let you be alone in the world, so I gave my mother so many years of life, let me raise you to grow up, my mother is content, really content. Huzi's expression was calm, perhaps because of her long-term illness, she had expected this day a long time ago, so there was no fear on her face, only a trace of attachment to Ling Hu.

"But...... But mother, I can't live without you. Ling Hu's tears burst into his eyes.

Hu Ziniang looked at her tearful son, held back her tears, and instructed: "After my mother leaves, you will follow Ling Xian and listen to him well, he is a good boy, with pure conduct, smart and clever, and the most important thing is that he attaches great importance to feelings, especially kindness, he has the ability now, if you follow him, he will definitely take care of you as a brother." ”

"Yes, brother, he will definitely have a way, mother, you hold on, I'll go find him now!" Ling Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, the multiple shocks that Ling Xian brought to him that day made him already regard Ling Xian as an omnipotent god, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of it, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Just as he was about to step to find Ling Xian, he heard a soft voice coming.

"No need Huzi, I'm here. ”

Ling Xian flashed, and instantly came to the bed from outside the door, he looked at the haggard Hu Ziniang on the bed, his eyes were slightly red.

"Brother, you are an alchemist, think of a way to save my mother. Ling Hu said eagerly.

"Didn't you buy the pill in the Treasure Pavilion?" Ling Xian asked.

"No, the steward of the Treasure Pavilion said that the elixir that can cure my mother needs to be transported from the headquarters, and I will just come back from the Treasure Pavilion, the elixir...... Not yet there. Ling Hu said in a low voice.

However, looking at the physical condition of the eldest mother, it won't last long. Ling Xian's brows furrowed tightly, grabbed Hu Ziniang's hand, and blamed herself: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm late, I should have come to see you a long time ago." ”

"Silly boy, you have your things to be busy, my aunt doesn't blame you, if you can come to see me for the last time, my aunt will be content. Hu Ziniang smiled kindly, patted his hand, and said with relief: "I heard Ling Hu say that you can cultivate now, and you have become a noble alchemist, seeing that you have the ability to survive, even if I leave, I can rest assured that you are gone." ”

Ling Xian let out a long sigh, a deep sadness welled up in his heart, he had been lonely since he was a child, it was the kind woman in front of him who gave him the warmth of home, treated him as his own, and took care of him.

But now, this woman who has nurtured him is leaving, looking at the deep-set eye sockets and withered face, all of which symbolize that she has run out of oil and is dying.

This gave him a hatred for himself, hatred for his own incompetence, and no way to save her life.

"Ling Xian, eldest lady begs you one thing, you must promise me. Hu Ziniang said seriously.

"Auntie, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best. Ling Xian's words were sonorous and loud.

"Okay, the eldest mother shouldn't have said that you have lived hard by yourself over the years, and you often use spirit stones to help the eldest mother, our family owes you enough. Hu Ziniang had a deep guilt on her face, but for the sake of her son, she had to grit her teeth and said: "But, the eldest mother is leaving, I hope you can take good care of Ling Hu on my behalf, he is stupid and doesn't know how to be flexible, in this world of cannibalism, if no one takes care of him, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss, or even lose his life, so the eldest mother begs you, you must take good care of him, okay?"

"Mother......" Ling Hu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her waving her hand, a pair of dim eyes stared straight at Ling Xian, there was too much information in those eyes, there was hope, guilt, and anxiety.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Ling Xian answer, her heart gradually sank, and she smiled desolately: "It's the eldest lady Meng Lang, Ling Xian, you should not have heard my request." ”

"Auntie, I didn't say no, Ling Hu is like my own brother, I don't need you to say that I will take care of him, but I want to ......" Ling Xian smiled suddenly, and said, "Isn't it better for you to take care of him?"

"What stupid things are you kidding, I know my own body, maybe I will have to swallow my breath in the next moment, how can I have time to take care of Ling Hu. Hu Ziniang sighed, her face full of reluctance.

Suddenly, she looked at the smile on Ling Xian's face, as if she had thought of something, and asked cautiously, "Could it be ...... Do you have a solution?"

"Naturally, there is a way. Ling Xian nodded heavily, full of confidence.

Just now, his soul had already entered the Nine Immortals Diagram and told the Refining Firmament about the matter, but he was scolded by him, and he was speechless when he was scolded, and he couldn't find a single word to refute the Dan Immortals.

Because Ling Xian ignored one of the most important things, that is, the identity of refining the firmament, he was the only Dan Immortal in the history of Dan Dao who could compare to Danzu and was known as being able to refine the sun, moon and stars!

His Dan Dao attainments are ancient and modern, turning the universe into a tripod, taking the stars as materials, a flower and a grass can become a Dan, and the magic Dan recipe in his brain is as countless as the stars in the sky, such a Dan Dao giant, how can it not solve Hu Ziniang's disease?

After listening to Ling Xian's words, Lian Cangqiong searched for his memory and found a healing pill called Qionghua Dan, this pill has a miraculous effect on the treatment of the loss of origin qi and blood, and the lack of congenital essence qi, which belongs to the category of the six-rank elixir, because Ling Xian is currently only a nine-rank pill master, he simplified the Qionghua pill a little and turned it into a nine-grade pill, but it is more than enough to treat Hu Ziniang's stubborn disease.

"Brother, do you really have a way?" Ling Hu exclaimed excitedly.

"Since I dare to say that, naturally there is a way to cure my aunt. Smiling slightly, Ling Xian patted Hu Zi Niang's hand and said, "Auntie, you must hold on, you haven't seen Hu Zi marry a daughter-in-law and let you report your grandson, how can you be willing to leave him?"

"Yes, I didn't see him marry a daughter-in-law and leave an heir, how can I rest assured?" Hu Ziniang's gloomy eyes suddenly flashed a hint of brilliance, and the dead air circulating around her body seemed to be lightened.

Ling Xian's words touched her heart, she had a deep relationship with Ling Hu's father, when she heard the bad news, she moved her mind to be martyred, only because Ling Hu was still young at that time, she didn't go with it, and now she is still at ease with Ling Hu, if there is a way to cure her illness, how can she have the will to die?

Seeing the glittering look in her eyes, Ling Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his words worked, Hu Ziniang believed what he said, and also strengthened her belief in living, only in this way could she persist until he came back.

Otherwise, Ling Xian was really afraid that before he could refine Qionghua Dan, Hu Ziniang would go first.

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as you can hold on for three hours, I will definitely come back, cure your illness, and let you watch Ling Hu marry a wife and have children, when the time comes, the wife will be virtuous and filial, and the family will live a good life of harmony and beauty, and enjoy the joy of family, isn't it beautiful?"

Ling Xian painted a beautiful picture of the future for her, which was in the arms of Hu Zi Niang, and then whispered in Ling Hu's ear: "Hu Zi, take care of the eldest mother, remember, if you find that her spirit is a little sluggish, just say it again according to what I just said, and strengthen her belief in living, understand?"

"I understand, brother, go quickly, you must come back early!" Huzi nodded seriously, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Ling Xian nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the door, walking quickly towards the Lin Clan's Danfang.

He wants to open the furnace for alchemy.
