Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 13 Opening a Clinic

But upon closer reflection, Dugu Yan in front of her is, after all, the only granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo...

A ruthless character like Dugu Bo has probably wiped out tens of thousands, if not thousands, of nobles and high-level soul masters under his command.

Do you really think that Poison Douluo's reputation for being both righteous and evil is something he earned for nothing?

Ning Feiliu didn't think Dugu Bo was a good person or someone easy to get along with.

This is a ruthless character who would kill an entire family without batting an eye!

After killing an entire family, isn't it normal to take a few soul tools and some treasures along the way?

Although it is difficult for low-level Soul Masters to possess Soul Tools unless they have a powerful background.

However, it is quite reasonable for advanced Soul Masters and those from noble families to possess Soul Guidance Devices.

Dugu Bo was the kind of master who could easily slaughter any Soul Master below the Title Douluo level...

Those Soul Douluos he killed, surely they all had one or two low-level soul tools on them, right?

Therefore, Dugu Bo must have had a considerable number of soul tools on him.

He only has one granddaughter, Dugu Yan, so what's wrong with giving Dugu Yan a few more soul tools?

Hmm...that makes sense.

But Ning Feiliu was very envious now; his eyes were practically turning into lemons from envy.

Sigh... comparing backgrounds really makes people miserable.

He, the sect leader's son who was disliked by the sect and "my sect leader father," received far worse treatment than Dugu Yan, the only granddaughter of the Poison Douluo!

"So...do you want it?" Dugu Yan asked him with a hint of mockery in her beautiful eyes.

"I don't want it," Ning Feiliu said against her will. "This is... Sister Yan's stuff, no matter how much there is, it's still yours, I won't take it."

A person should have backbone; he couldn't just shamelessly ask a young girl for something.

Moreover, he refused to believe it, and once he obtained the [Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method], his strength increased.

He was still so unpopular in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Oh~ really~" Dugu Yan said with a light laugh as she moved her pretty face closer to him.

At extremely close range, the faint, peculiar fragrance emanating from Dugu Yan wafted towards Ning Feiliu.

That's not the smell of perfume.

It smelled more like the faint fragrance of dried herbs, not pungent at all, but rather calming and soothing to Ning Feiliu.

"Sister Yan..." Ning Feiliu coughed and took a step back. "Alright, I should go back to my sect now. You should go back too..."

"You're back at the sect so soon?" Dugu Yan frowned slightly and said, "How boring~"

Ning Feiliu shook her head helplessly, "It's already late, almost Shen Shi (3-5 PM)..."

The Douluo Continent now uses the ancient Twelve Earthly Branches timekeeping system from its previous life, dividing the twenty-four days of the day into twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

Shenshi is the time from 3 pm to 5 pm, and it is indeed almost 5 pm now.

After all, Ning Feiliu spent an entire afternoon refreshing and completing tasks at the medical clinic after she came out.

I completed a task involving over a hundred prescriptions from the "Compendium of Materia Medica," which naturally took a considerable amount of time.

However, his gains were also enormous, and after meeting Dugu Yan, he encountered an additional surprise.

"Alright then..." Dugu Yan looked at him with a hint of lingering interest, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Will you come out again tomorrow?"

"..." Ning Feiliu pondered for a moment, then said, "They'll probably come out again."

"Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow too," Dugu Yan said, a joyful smile playing on her lips.

"Well... see you tomorrow, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu sighed inwardly. It seemed that this girl had completely latched onto him.

Hopefully, Dugu Bo won't notice him too soon.

"See you tomorrow." Dugu Yan waved with a smile.

Ning Feiliu then turned around and headed back towards the sect.

After he turned and left, Dugu Yan remained where she was, watching Ning Feiliu's departing figure...

"Pfft..." Dugu Yan smiled brightly and said softly, "Ning Feiliu... is such an interesting person... and such a good person..."

"Such a good person... is so rare... I want..."

"Protect this kind-hearted, albeit clumsy, person."

……

On the way back.

Ning Feiliu began to think about today's task.

Currently, besides needing to use the known finished product from the prescription to stage an accident and trigger the mission, he has refreshed two additional missions.

They are:

[After curing 100 sick patients, I received a gift from the Emerald God—a 10% increase in my ability to learn pharmacology.]

[Receive heartfelt thanks from others. After collecting 100 such thanks, you will receive the Divine Blessing—Friendliness of Life: Increases intimacy with intelligent beings by 10% and increases the chance of enlightenment by 1%. (99 more thanks needed)]

One needs to help people get treatment, while the other needs to receive heartfelt gratitude from others.

Moreover, the rewards are very generous and all related to improving pharmacological abilities.

However, these two tasks do not actually conflict. Like that mother, after receiving Ning Feiliu's help, she will feel sincerely grateful to Ning Feiliu.

and so……

Now, Ning Feiliu has a method that can help him quickly achieve his goal—becoming a master of pharmacology.

That is……

He opened a clinic to save lives.

Ning Feiliu immediately thought of this, but...

"If you're paying someone to treat your illness, it's hard to elicit genuine gratitude from them."

He thought of this and frowned. "It would be good to provide medical care to the poor people in Tiandou City who can't afford it, but... we can't offer them free medical care."

Ning Feiliu knew very well that people tend to take things for granted when they are free.

At first, they might be very grateful to you, but later on, they will feel more and more that it is your duty to help them.

Even if you can't cure their illness later, or if you don't want to do things for free anymore.

They'll even turn around and insult you.

This is the inherent weakness of human nature.

"So they have to pay a price, but it can't be a price they can't afford to pay for medical treatment."

Ning Feiliu's brows slowly relaxed. "We can let them gather herbs! We can use the herbs they gather, along with some money, to offset the costs of their medical treatment."

"And in emergencies, they can be allowed to see a doctor first and then pay for the herbal medicine later."

Ning Feiliu suddenly understood. Although he would still have to pay most of the money to open the clinic, he didn't care about the small amount.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a large and powerful family, and he also has a monthly allowance of one hundred gold soul coins.

Money is just an external thing; only power is the most important!

Ning Feiliu only wants to complete the mission and gain powerful strength!
