Chapter 17

"Ha ha! Mom, was everything Big Brother said just now true?"

Zhan Wan'er held Xiao Zhan's hand and walked through a row of exquisite houses, heading towards a scenic courtyard. Hearing her son's question, a faint blush appeared on her face.

She said with a light scolding, "Don't listen to your big brother's nonsense. What does he know?"

"Ha ha, Mom, you're blushing. It seems Big Brother was telling the truth."

Zhan Wan'er affectionately stroked Xiao Zhan's head and said with a hint of annoyance, "You little rascal, you're learning all the bad things from your big brother."

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Of course, we're going to see Grandma. It's been almost a year since Zhan'er last saw her. You should chat with her for a while later."

"Okay, I will."

A ray of sunlight filtered through the treetops and shone on the windowsill, and the clear chirping of birds could be heard inside the room.

On the bed lay a woman with silver hair, who looked to be in her fifties. Her brows were furrowed with a deep sorrow, and her face was pale from illness, her body frail.

On the coffee table was a small incense burner, from which wisps of smoke rose, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Huh!" When Xiao Zhan stepped into the room, he frowned slightly. The fragrance in the air seeped into his body through his pores, instantly accelerating his blood flow and making every cell in his body hum with joy.

His pores relaxed, continuously absorbing the free-floating spiritual energy from the air. At the same time, his dantian began to heat up, and the qi sensation that had just formed was stirring. His mind expanded infinitely, and the effect was more significant than a day of cultivation. He sighed, feeling refreshed and clear-headed. If he could cultivate in such an environment regularly, it would certainly be more efficient.

"Mom, what is this fragrance? Why does it have such a magical effect?"

"Oh? This is 'Dragon Face Incense,' a special incense made by the Zhan Clan. When burned, it has the effect of cleansing the body and improving physical condition."

"Really? Mom, can you also burn this in my room?"

"Yes, didn't you often burn it in your room before?"

Hearing the conversation between mother and son, the woman on the bed turned her head towards the door. Her gaze swept past Zhan Wan'er and landed directly on Xiao Zhan, and a loving smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Grandma!"

Seeing Grandma's smile, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but quicken his pace, running to the bed and grabbing her hand, naturally cooing, "Grandma, I came to see you."

The old woman lovingly stroked Xiao Zhan's face, her face full of smiles, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hehe, good, good, …"

For a moment, the room was filled with warmth. Seeing Grandma, who was seriously ill, Xiao Zhan looked at his mother with great concern and said, "Can Grandma get better?"

"Alas!" Zhan Wan'er shook her head, stroking Xiao Zhan's head and sighing.

"Hehe, good grandson, don't worry, Grandma is fine."

The old woman's face was calm, as if she had seen through everything.

Is there really no way? Xiao Zhan looked at Grandma, who was ill, feeling very troubled.

"To cure her illness, it's very simple."

Suddenly, the clear and sweet voice of his personal assistant sounded in Xiao Zhan's mind.

Xiao Zhan's expression froze, and after a while, he reacted, saying, "Uh, really?"

"Yes, it can be cured instantly."

Xiao Zhan said with great surprise, "Is that true?"

"By using the 'Purification Spell' and a simplified version of the 'Revival Spell,' the problem can be easily solved."

"Is it that simple?"

"Of course. Your grandmother's illness is a mental one, caused by long-term emotional distress, leading to physical exhaustion."

"Oh, is the Purification Spell difficult?"

"The 'Purification Spell' is a mental spell used to cleanse the mind and remove various negative emotions. It's a basic spell. The 'Revival Spell' comes in two forms: 'Revival of All Things' and 'Simplified Revival Spell.' To cure her illness, a seventh-level 'Simplified Revival Spell' is sufficient."

"What is the 'Revival of All Things' like?"

"The 'Revival of All Things' can make withered trees bloom and a tree seed grow into a towering tree within a hundred miles. It can even turn an old man on the verge of death into a young man. However, it's a tenth-level spell, and you can't cast it."

Then, two incantations appeared in Xiao Zhan's mind, and countless spell details and key points flowed through his mind, allowing him to grasp them almost instantly. Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and silently repeated the two incantations in his mind.

The card only provides knowledge; to cast the spell successfully, you have to rely on yourself.

"Zhan'er, I have some things to do. Stay here and chat with Grandma to keep her company. Be good."

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll chat with Grandma carefully."

"Good boy." She kissed Xiao Zhan's forehead and turned to leave the fragrant bedroom.

Xiao Zhan looked excitedly at Grandma in bed and thought, "Xiao Mi, what should I do?"

"Hehe, of course, start with a sleep spell to avoid any trouble later."

Xiao Zhan held Grandma's wrist and excitedly recited the sleep spell. Due to his excitement, he failed several times, making him very anxious.

"Zhan'er, what are you mumbling?" Seeing her grandson muttering some incomprehensible words, Grandma asked gently.

Xiao Zhan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Ha, nothing, nothing."

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly recited the sleep spell. When the last syllable of the spell was spoken, the old woman on the bed suddenly felt drowsy and fell asleep instantly.

Xiao Zhan stood up from the bed and cast the Purification Spell. Looking at the sleeping Grandma, he saw no significant changes except for a slight relaxation of her brows. He scratched his head and said, "Why is there no reaction?"

"Hehe, it's just a mental spell. You'll see the obvious effect after casting the Revival Spell."

Then, a strange tone filled the bedroom. The simplified Revival Spell took several minutes to cast. When the last magical note was spoken, countless milky white droplets appeared in the air, floating and emitting a strong fragrance. Under Xiao Zhan's control, the milky white droplets merged into Grandma's aged skin.

Instantly, visible to the naked eye, the wrinkles on Grandma's forehead began to fade, her silver hair gradually turned black, and her aged skin regained a youthful glow. When the last of the milky white droplets were consumed, Grandma transformed into a mature woman around forty years old.

Seeing all this, Xiao Zhan marveled, "Magic is truly amazing."

"Master, didn't Xiao Mi tell you it was simple? Hehe."

Xiao Zhan smacked his lips and said confusedly, "Xiao Mi, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what does Master want to know?"

"Is the magic card really the one I chose?"

"Of course, Master! Hehe, if you want to know why, just enter the ring, and you'll understand everything."

"Must I go into the ring?"

"Yes, all the answers are in the ring. Master, Xiao Mi is waiting for you in the ring."
