Establishment of the Endless Fire Territory

It was a man and a woman.

The young man had a pitch-black ruler strapped to his back and was running in a rather disheveled state, clearly heading in the direction of Jiang Nannan.

The young girl followed closely behind him.

They were none other than Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu!

Jiang Nannan felt a surge of confusion, but she couldn't spare the time to think about it; her only focus was on saving her mother.

Just then, Huo Yuhao arrived in front of Jiang Nannan and came to a halt.

He looked at Jiang Nannan, and based on the navigation in his mind, confirmed that this was indeed the person he was looking for; their positions had overlapped.

Immediately, Huo Yuhao spoke up: "Your mother is seriously ill, right? I can save her!"

Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up instantly. Just as she was about to say something, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate; he pried the woman's mouth open and shoved a milky-white pill inside.

Jiang Nannan was startled: "Hey, who are you? What are you feeding my mother?"

However, just as Jiang Nannan finished speaking, her mother's previously pale complexion began to turn rosy.

Not only that.

A surge of immense energy suddenly rippled out from the woman's body.

A series of cracking sounds came from her bones as they began to undergo marrow cleansing...

At the same time.

Black blood and impurities began to seep rapidly from the surface of Jiang Nannan's mother's skin, emitting a very foul odor.

The reaction to the medicine's efficacy was extremely intense.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat.

He had given too much medicine!

The pill Huo Yuhao had given was a Recovery Pill.

The Recovery Pill was a Tier 5 medicinal pill.

Back then, after the Misty Cloud Sect was destroyed, Xiao Yan had taken this very pill to heal his injuries.

Of course, this wasn't the authentic version of the Recovery Pill.

It was based on the unique standards of the Douluo Continent, and its efficacy was weakened by 60%.

Yet, the vitality contained within this pill remained incredibly potent.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao finally confirmed one thing.

It was truly a matter of plane suppression; the Doupo Continent's plane plate was far superior to the Douluo Continent in every aspect, and its medicinal pills were no exception.

As for this Recovery Pill, it had cost Huo Yuhao 10,000 points.

That made Huo Yuhao's heart ache quite a bit.

But he also understood that some things had to be spent on.

However, Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that even a weakened version of the pill would be so powerful.

Meanwhile.

Huo Yuhao also thought of something else at this moment.

Medicinal pills from the Doupo Continent, once they reached a high enough level, would develop spirituality and could even transform into a beautiful woman.

However, the pills produced in the Douluo Continent were a bit inexplicable.

During Tang San's era, it seemed they just chewed on immortal herbs raw.

After ten thousand years of development following the great war, pills finally appeared, but how they evolved and how they were crafted remained a mystery.

But just as Huo Yuhao was pondering this, the face of Jiang Nannan's mother underwent some changes; the wrinkles on her face smoothed out rapidly, and her hair, which had been tinged with gray, gradually turned jet black.

In fact, Jiang Nannan's mother was not very old; she was only 30.

And at 30, if she were on Earth, she would be a perfectly young woman.

In the Douluo Continent, one reached adulthood at 16.

In some remote areas without any background, especially among farming families, people would marry and have children at fourteen or fifteen.

Jiang Nannan was only 14 now, and her mother had given birth to her when she was 16.

At this moment.

Jiang Nannan's mother suddenly opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood.

Her complexion quickly returned to a healthy glow, and her body recovered along with it.

Not only that.

She also felt that her physical aptitude had been greatly cleansed, becoming much stronger than before.

"Mother, Mother, how are you feeling?"

Jiang Nannan was full of worry as she hurriedly checked her mother's condition.

"I'm fine, Nannan. I feel better than I ever have in my life."

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao.

She had been unconscious earlier, but she vaguely sensed that it was Huo Yuhao who had saved her.

Jiang Nannan reacted instantly. She looked at Huo Yuhao and, without the slightest hesitation, prepared to kneel and kowtow in gratitude.

After all, this was the great grace of saving her mother; she had no way to repay it.

However, Huo Yuhao immediately reached out to support Jiang Nannan's arm.

"Your name is Jiang Nannan, right?"

Huo Yuhao asked this, even though he already knew who she was, he still felt the need to ask.

Jiang Nannan looked suspicious, but she still replied, "Yes. May I ask how you know me?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "You could say that. But whether we know each other or not isn't important; I want to discuss a business proposition with you."

Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Jiang Nannan felt a sense of doubt. A possibility instantly crossed her mind, causing her to panic inexplicably, but she still subconsciously asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "I have a sect called the Endless Fire Territory, and I would like to invite you to join."

Jiang Nannan was stunned and asked, "That's all?"

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Is that not enough?"

Jiang Nannan felt an inexplicable sense of relief and said without hesitation, "Fine, I'll join."

To say nothing else, in Jiang Nannan's heart, since Huo Yuhao had saved her mother, joining a sect was nothing at all.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan's mother gave a light cough. Having fully adjusted to her body, she stood up and cupped her hands toward Huo Yuhao. "If it's possible, I would like to join as well."

"Also, my name is Bai Feng, you can also call me Madam Jiang. I am a level 41 Soul Ancestor with the Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul. Nannan inherited her martial soul from me, and I do possess some combat strength, but having been bedridden with illness for so long, I slowly fell into this state."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback when he heard Bai Feng say this, then he smiled.

"How about this, I'll call you Aunt Bai from now on. Of course, I welcome you to join the Endless Fire Territory."

Hearing this, Bai Feng breathed a secret sigh of relief.

At this point, Jiang Nannan spoke up: "Little brother, what is your name?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "My name is Huo Yuhao, and this is Xiao Wu."

As he spoke, he gestured toward Xiao Wu.

Jiang Nannan looked at Xiao Wu and was inexplicably dazed for a moment.

She suddenly felt that her own martial soul had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Xiao Wu.

However, Jiang Nannan quickly snapped back to reality.

She smiled at Xiao Wu and greeted her, then looked at Huo Yuhao and continued.

"May I ask, how many people are in this Endless Fire Territory of ours?"

Huo Yuhao answered truthfully: "As of now, there are only the four of us: me, Xiao Wu, you, and Aunt Bai."

Jiang Nannan was startled: "Only four?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, then asked in return: "Only four—you ask that, surely you aren't regretting your decision to join?"

Jiang Nannan immediately waved her hands: "Oh, no, no, no, that's impossible."

"Yuhao, you saved my mother. To me, that is a debt of rebirth; I will definitely join."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao continued, "Our sect may have very few people right now, but it will gradually grow stronger in the future!"

"Next, we are heading to Shrek Academy. We'll find a place in Shrek City to settle down temporarily and perhaps open a small shop or something similar."

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan felt a bit surprised: "Little brother Yuhao, are you really from Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao smiled: "Not yet. I plan to report there, but I don't know if I'll succeed!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan had a sudden realization: "Good, you will definitely succeed!"

Following that, Jiang Nannan smiled with a sense of relief.

It seemed Huo Yuhao was also planning to join Shrek Academy.

That was perfect; she wouldn't have to worry that joining the sect would interfere with her studies.

Then, the group began to walk toward the outskirts of Suotuo City.
