Liu Hui did not give the witch a good expression. He only said coldly, “Please wait a moment.”

Then, he turned around and strode out. Liu Kan, who had been standing behind his father, took the opportunity to follow him.

“Father, don’t tell me you believed that old witch’s words?” Liu Kan followed him with big strides.

“Let’s wait and see how effective the rune paper water is. There’s no point in doubting it now,” Liu Hui sighed. To be honest, he didn’t believe in the witch’s abilities at all, but he couldn’t bear seeing his wife in so much pain either.

Liu Kan understood what his father was thinking. He knew how much his father was struggling at this time, so he simply made up his mind and told him about Ye Yan and Chen Geng’s cultivation.

“That’s how it is. I think we can let them try,” Liu Kan finished speaking in one breath and stared at his father. Whether he succeeded or failed depended on this one move!

After Liu Hui heard all of it, he was stunned for a long time before he said, “Are your words true?”

Who wouldn’t be confused about this?

“Naturally,” Liu Kan pulled up his robe deliberately, “Father, you saw how my clothes were dirty just now. Ye Yan only touched it and all the dirt was cleaned!”

Liu Hui pulled up his son’s robe and looked at it carefully. He was immersed in shock. It was indeed clean. Even the tears from previous accidents had been removed completely. The robe looked as good as new! No matter how many times one washed the robe, it would never have such an effect! With that, he believed Liu Kan’s words.

“Father, just let them try. You see, one of them is from the north of the village, and you also know Old Master Ye, while the other is just next door. It’s better to believe these people we know than that old witch of unknown origin,” Seeing his father’s expression change, Liu Kan took the opportunity to give him a stronger dose of medicine.

Once his son said that, Liu Hui immediately firmed his thoughts. He immediately patted his thigh and agreed, “You are right! It’s my fault for being foolish. I’ll lure your grandmother and that old witch away later. You bring Xiao Ye and the other boy in and let them take a look at your mother. If there’s anything they need, don’t be stingy. If we have it, just use it. If we don’t, then buy it. Understand?”

“Don’t worry, father. Leave my mother to me!” Liu Kan nodded.

“My good son, you’ve grown up,” Liu Hui looked at his son kindly and suddenly burst into tears.

Immediately, the two of them discussed their strategy and were ready to move. Liu Kan returned to his room, while Liu Hui strode back to the main room.

“Mom, we’ve run out of cash. We need to go to town to get it. We can give a portion to the witch as a thank-you gift while also preparing for the next month’s expenses,” Liu Hui walked in, his eyes shining.

When Mother-in-law Liu heard this, she didn’t think that her son-in-law would have any ulterior motives. She simply said, “Very well. Then you can go to town and get it first. I’ll look after this place.”

Liu Hui was anxious when he heard this. If his mother-in-law continued to stay here, it would be inconvenient for Liu Kan to do anything. He quickly found an excuse, “Mother, you’ve worked hard for a day, so it’s time for you to rest. I’ve let my wife take the witch’s medicine, and it’ll definitely take effect. Kan’er has been saying that he wants to take care of his mother, so do allow him to be filial!”

“It seems that Kan’er has grown up. Very well, I’ll let him take care of my daughter!” Mother-in-law Liu smiled.

Hearing that they were going to the town to get cash, thoughts flashed past the witch’s mind and she quickly spoke up, “Family head Liu is right. Let me go with you to the town. I’ll leave immediately after I get the silver.”

This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about the family asking her about the effects of the rune paper water. Seeing that the witch was still in the dark and even took the initiative to suggest following him, Liu Hui couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

Liu Hui immediately called for Liu Kan and asked him to help mother-in-law Liu to the guest room to sleep. Then, he led the witch out of the house. He thought to himself, “Little brat Ye, don’t let me down! I’m putting all my bets on you guys…”

On the other side, Liu Kan was secretly happy as he watched the witch leave. He ran back to his room and told Ye Yan and Chen Geng his father’s plan in full detail. Then, he entered the ward with the two.

As soon as Ye Yan entered the room, he frowned as he sensed the despicable aura.

Mrs. Liu, who was lying on the bed, was in a very bad state. Her face was pale, and her eyes were rolled up. It was unknown if she was still conscious. Her mouth was opening and closing mechanically as if she was mumbling something.

Ye Yan closed his eyes and sensed carefully. He found a wisp of aura beside Mrs. Liu. The wisp of aura was extremely turbulent as it enveloped the surroundings and absorbed something.

It was Mrs. Lin’s life aura. Human qi. Everyone had an aura, which was called human qi. It was the same for ghosts, who had ghost qi.

The intensity of human qi represented a person’s state. A high concentration of human qi represented that a person was healthy, while low human qi represented that a person’s vitality was low. Ever since he broke through to level 2 of the beginner Qi-forging Realm, Ye Yan was especially sensitive to human qi and could distinguish the aura of people around him.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu’s human qi had already dropped to an unbelievable level. Any later and she would probably not have had any hope of surviving.

“This demon is demonic qi, huh?” Ye Yan tried to get familiar with the devouring aura.

If he allowed it to continue devouring its target, then when Mrs. Liu’s human qi ran out, that would be the day of her death!

“How is it?” Seeing Ye Yan’s serious expression, Liu Kan asked hurriedly.

“It’s difficult,” Ye Yan wasn’t joking, “If nothing is done now, Mrs. Liu won’t live past tonight.”

Liu Kan’s pupils constricted when he heard that. He made up his mind the next moment and bent his knees, kneeling heavily.

“Bang!”

Liu Kan’s head hit the ground hard and he said heavily, “Ye Yan, my mother’s life is in danger, please save her life! Although my mother was too strict with me, she is still my benefactor who gave birth to me and raised me! Please save her! I, Liu Kan, will do anything for you, even if I have to be your servant!”

With that, he kowtowed three more times. Ye Yan looked at Liu Kan on the ground, sighing in his heart, what a good son. His favorability towards the other party increased a little.

“Get up. How can I not do what I promised you? However, I haven’t been cultivating for long and my cultivation isn’t profound enough. There’s a spell that might work, but I’ve never tried it before and I’m not sure if it’ll work.”

The technique he was talking about was the Vast Sky Technique’s second level, Impurity Removal. However, the problem was that even though the system allowed him to learn it automatically, the spiritual energy in his body might not be able to support him in casting the spell. If his spiritual energy was completely exhausted before he could even finish casting the spell, then everything would be over.

“It’s okay, Ye Yan. If you can’t, don’t be too hard on yourself,” Liu Kan said as he saw Ye Yan troubled.

Ye Yan glanced at him. Although the other party was saying that it was okay, Ye Yan knew his disappointment. He couldn’t let him down! If he could break through the third level, he still had a chance!

“No! Brother Liu, trust me, give me some time. After I break through, there’s still a chance!” Ye Yan gritted his teeth and said loudly.

Then, without waiting for the other two to react, Ye Yan took out the Dharmic Technique Simplification Record from Chen Geng’s robe and started to comprehend it on the spot.
