Chapter 38 - Finding The Cure

After their mother went back into the tent, Hannah walked up to Jason with a smile on her face as she said.

"Big brother can I have the other pill since mother didn't take it".

"And what use do you have for it my lovely little sister" asked Jason.

"Nothing, I just want since it is so shiny" replied Hannah.

"Okay then, why don't you go make one or better still ask the grand elder to give you one* said Jason with a smile on his face as he played with her hair before going inside for a rest.

After a good rest, Jason makes his way to the woods where he usually trains as he begins to practice the phantom kick and the iron fist technique which are the only techniques he has. After training until it became dark, Jason took a sip of water that he brought with him before bringing out the pill as he began to study it.

"I can't believe mother refuses to take the pill from me" said Jason with a sigh.

"That is because she knew that it would be useless to her unlike you who might have suffered an internal injury from the tournament" replied the bracelet.

"I wish the pill could be all she needs to recover then, I won't have to be worried everyday" said Jason.

"If you really want to help her then you better get stronger" commented the bracelet.

Jason just sat down looking at the pill in his hand as he tried to think of ways he could help his mother when he suddenly remembered that the bracelet knows how to concoct pills and since it can, he should know of a pill that can cure his mother of her illness.

"Hey, do you by any means know of a pill that can heal my mother" asked Jason.

"Yes I do but I am afraid you won't be able to find it in this generation" replied the bracelet.

"And I thought there might be a way" said Jason in disappointment.

"Well the pill may not be available but we can still make one but the problem is getting the necessary ingredients needed for concocting the pill and let's not forget that your realm is too low" commented the bracelet.

"So there is a way for my mother to get better" said Jason in joy when he heard the bracelet statement but then his mouth twitched as he asked.

"Wait a minute, what does my realm have to do with all this".

"It has everything to do with your realm kid. You see you will need a lot of spiritual energy and concentration in controlling the flame and with how weak you are right now, I don't think you will be able to heat the furnace before you run out of energy then let's not forget the ingredients you will need" replied the bracelet.

"What about the ingredients, are they difficult to get" asked Jason.

"They are not and I believe the grand elder might have some but there is one that you will need to get by yourself and that is the saliva of the horned leopard. And I don't think you will be able to get it with the way you are now" replied the bracelet.

"Since you said I need the saliva of a horned leopard, then you mean I will be going back to the beast territory and I right" asked Jason.

"Where else do you think you will be able to find a horned leopard if not in the beast territory" replied the bracelet.

"Why can't we just use the saliva of a pet instead of the horned leopard" suggested Jason who was already on the verge of crying.

"The saliva of the horned leopard has a healing property which other beasts don't have, not to mention pets. By the way, where are you going to find the pet you want to extract the saliva from because last time I checked, you don't have any" replied the bracelet.

"Looks like I don't have a choice than to go back to the beast territory. By the way how strong is the horned leopard" asked Jason.

"If you asked me, I will say very strong but that is if you come across the adult horned leopard but if you were to come across those that are in the adolescent stage, you should be able to get the saliva with at least the fifth stage of the foundation realm" replied the bracelet.

"I guess I will have to settle for the young one then. So what are the other ingredients that I am going to need let's see if grand elder will by any means have them" asked Jason.

"Well you will need the wiping grass, mystic fruit, soul clearing grass and the winded flower" replied the bracelet.

"That's a lot and I bet the elder will be able to help me with these ingredients" said Jason with a light laugh.

"He used the wiping grass while making that pill so getting it won't be difficult for but I am not sure about the rest" replied the bracelet.

Alright then, now that the cure to my mother's illness has been found, all that is left for me to do now is to get stronger" said Jason as he clenched his hand into a fist.

"That's the spirit kid and the first step for you to get stronger is to take that pill" reply the bracelet.

"Won't I be wasting it since I will be going to the beast territory soon" asked Jason.

"By then you would have stored more than what you have now so quit wasting time and take the pill" replied the bracelet as he urged Jason.

"All right if you say so" said Jason before throwing the pill into his mouth.

The moment the pill touches his mouth, Jason feels a warm sensation before it begins to move down his throat and the next moment he feels his body becomes light with no itchy pain.

"Wow look like I was actually injured, thank goodness the grand elder was able to spare me some" said Jason with a smile.

"Next is to get the ingredients ready" commented the bracelet.
