After quite a while, Jiang Nannan and her mother finally seemed to come back to their senses.
Jiang Nannan's voice was somewhat dry.
"Little Physician, you mean..."
"My mother's illness can be cured?"
"What else?"
Facing the gazes of Jiang Nannan and her mother, Bai Luo spread his hands as if it were only natural.
"I merely gave a simple overview of Auntie's current condition. From beginning to end, did I ever say it couldn't be cured?"
Jiang Nannan's mother truly was in poor condition.
For an ordinary physician, it would already have been beyond saving.
But Bai Luo was no ordinary doctor.
Nor was this a world devoid of supernatural power.
In a world where supernatural power existed, conventional common sense was useless.
Since the Mysterious Water Pill could treat the illness in Jiang Nannan's mother's body by cleansing and tempering her body,
Bai Luo naturally could as well.
Though he possessed only a two-ring cultivation at present,
with the Medicine King martial soul, treating an illness afflicting a mortal was effortless for him.
Bai Luo's words were like a ray of light.
They tore through the gloom in Jiang Nannan's heart.
It was no wonder they had thought that way just now.
After all, Bai Luo had merely stated the simplest facts, yet Jiang Nannan's mother's condition truly was terrible.
It was only natural for them to instinctively harbor such pessimistic thoughts.
"Auntie, relax."
"It'll be over soon."
Bai Luo spoke softly.
His emerald eyes lowered.
They seemed to carry a light of compassion for all living things.
With a gentle twist of his fingers,
a golden ear of rice symbolizing vitality appeared at his fingertips at some unknown moment.
The ear of rice lightly brushed across Jiang Nannan's mother's body.
Like a white gull skimming over blue waters.
A faint green ripple spread through the air.
The purple soul ring ranked first around Bai Luo suddenly lit up.
The Medicine King phantom behind him cupped its hands together.
The eye extending from one of its arms opened.
Medicine King Manifestation, Life Revived!
Jiang Nannan's mother's body was like withered wood encountering spring.
It visibly improved at an astonishing rate.
She only felt the strength within her body gradually grow abundant.
Her vigor began recovering at a terrifying speed.
Her face, once deathly pale from years of illness, gradually regained its rosy color.
Even the gray strands mixed into her hair slowly began turning black again.
This was Bai Luo's first soul skill.
There was nothing complicated about it.
It had only one ability.
Absolute Healing!
That was right.
The same ability as the Nine-Heart Begonia, once the continent's foremost healing-type martial soul!
Only, Bai Luo's ability was even more domineering.
After all...
Even if it was merely one hundred-millionth of the Abundance Star God's projection,
it was still a god-tier martial soul personally acknowledged by Bai Luo's sister, the Life God King.
It was absolutely not something these native martial souls could compare to.
A moment later.
The phantom behind Bai Luo gradually dissipated.
"Mom!"
Jiang Nannan rushed forward and arrived beside the bed.
Jiang Nannan's mother lay on the bed, her eyes blank.
Everything felt surreal to her.
The illness that had tormented her for so many years had been cured so easily?
Seeing her mother like this, Jiang Nannan thought there were lingering aftereffects.
She hurriedly looked at Bai Luo and asked anxiously,
"Little Physician, my mother..."
"Don't worry. She's already healed."
Bai Luo smiled faintly.
His spring-breeze smile was like a warm palm gently soothing Jiang Nannan's heart.
For no apparent reason, it settled her panicked heart somewhat.
Mother Jiang also came back to her senses on the bed.
She reached out and held Jiang Nannan's little hand, smiling as she explained,
"Nannan, Mom is fine. Mom feels very well now."
"I just didn't react to such a huge and sudden change right away."
Mother Jiang simply had not expected Bai Luo's methods to work so instantly.
She had originally thought the treatment would at least require some sort of process.
If Bai Luo had known what Mother Jiang was thinking,
he would certainly have scoffed.
If treating an illness on a mortal required such a cumbersome process from him,
then his Abundance martial soul would have been wasted on him.
The mother and daughter embraced each other.
The mountain that had weighed on them for years had suddenly been removed, and the relief made them weep with joy.
Bai Luo stood to the side without disturbing them.
His attention had already been drawn to something else.
After he completed the treatment for Jiang Nannan's mother,
in a place only he could see,
a ball of golden light emerged from Jiang Nannan's body and drifted before him.
This was the feedback.
Whenever Bai Luo healed someone, he received similar feedback.
But those people had all been mere passersby, and the fortune feedback they could offer was quite ordinary.
It only added up over time.
But Jiang Nannan was one of the original protagonist group.
Naturally, her fortune could not be the same as those insignificant passersby.
What sort of feedback would she bring him?
With a thought from Bai Luo,
the golden orb before him slowly floated toward him.
It turned into a streak of light and entered his body.
Bai Luo closed his eyes.
A moment later, he slowly opened them again.
A faint smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Little Physician, what's wrong?"
Having come to her senses and just about to express her gratitude, Jiang Nannan noticed the smile on his lips.
She asked curiously.
"Nothing. I just thought of something pleasant."
Bai Luo shook his head and casually brushed it off.
There was a little more satisfaction in his gaze as he looked at Jiang Nannan.
As expected of someone from the original protagonist group!
This fortune truly was incomparable to that of ordinary passersby.
Bai Luo had originally been very close to level thirty, though there had still been some distance remaining.
But with the feedback from Jiang Nannan, that distance had been forcibly erased.
Bai Luo had now reached level thirty. He only needed one more soul ring to become a genuine Soul Elder.
"Oh."
Jiang Nannan nodded and did not ask further.
The next moment,
there was a thud.
Jiang Nannan dropped to her knees before Bai Luo.
Her little face was filled with heartfelt gratitude.
"Little Physician, thank you for saving my mother!"
"Nannan knows our family is destitute and has nothing precious to offer you in repayment."
"But if there is anything Little Physician needs, Nannan will absolutely risk her life to accomplish it!"
Jiang Nannan's mother was also startled by Jiang Nannan's actions.
Yet she did not stop her.
Instead, she rose from the bed, preparing to kneel as well.
She could never repay such a life-saving grace!
Seeing this, Bai Luo reacted quickly and hurriedly stopped her.
"Auntie, there's no need for this."
He then casually helped Jiang Nannan up from the floor.
Facing their tearful, grateful gazes,
Bai Luo felt somewhat helpless.
He truly did not need them to thank him for anything.
After all, he had already received satisfactory compensation.
But fortune feedback was rather difficult to explain.
So Bai Luo merely revealed a compassionate expression on his little face.
"There's no need for this. It is simply a physician's duty."
"The Medicine King is compassionate and saves all living beings."
Brilliant golden sunlight shone through the still-open wooden door, falling upon Bai Luo's little face.
Together with that compassionate expression, it somehow gave him an added air of holiness.
Little Jiang Nannan stared blankly.
Murmuring beneath her breath, with the beginnings of faith budding within her,
"The Medicine King is compassionate..."
