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

Chapter 24 Busy with Missions

"I don't believe you, then I'll test you." Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes rolled, she chuckled strangely, and then took out a book of "Compendium of Materia Medica" from her soul tool.

She casually flipped to a page, then her eyes lit up, and she said, "What's the prescription for the Spirit-Suppressing Pill? Tell me quickly!"

"It contains Chongning, Tianxin grass, Dadi Sanjiao Niu Niu Jiao powder, Qixiang leaves, Zhenyuan..."

"Soak and grind the Chongning herb in water, and simmer the Dadijiao Niu Niujiao powder over low heat until it turns from a dark black to a yellowish-brown powder... Tianxin grass, on the other hand, needs to..." Ning Feiliu casually recited the prescription and preparation method.

"...Finally, use honeydew to make pills." He said it fluently in one breath without pausing or even thinking.

"You…" Dugu Yan looked at him in disbelief, "Are you sure you haven't been studying pharmacy for very long?"

She used this prescription to make things difficult for Ning Feiliu because she thought it was too long and troublesome to process.

Unexpectedly, Ning Feiliu spoke very fluently, and it was even exactly the same as what was recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

"Fortunately, my memory is still pretty good," Ning Feiliu replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Then let me test you some more... You've finished reading 'The Complete Herbal Compendium,' right?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Mmm," Ning Feiliu said while eating her noodles.

"Then let me test you some more..." Dugu Yan took out the "Complete Compendium of Herbs" and began to make things difficult for Ning Feiliu.

It felt like a defense session from a past life.

Ning Feiliu's photographic memory allowed her to perfectly answer Dugu Yan's questions one by one.

"Your memory is truly..." Dugu Yan said with a hint of envy, "It's too unfair!"

"It is a bit of a foul." Ning Feiliu did not deny it.

A life lived on cheat codes is indeed quite unfair.

Then Dugu Yan and Ning Feiliu began to eat meat and noodles with gusto. After finishing their noodles, Ning Feiliu paid the bill.

"Let's go to your clinic," Dugu Yan said. "I'll come to your clinic to see you from now on."

Ning Feiliu had no objection, since he would definitely be going back and forth between the clinic and home, and it would be very troublesome to go to the clinic to find Dugu Yan again.

He himself didn't realize that he seemed to have now accepted that he had to come to see Dugu Yan frequently.

So why?

Ning Feili didn't even notice anything strange about it, so naturally she didn't bother to figure it out.

He took Dugu Yan directly to the clinic near the outskirts of Tiandou City.

"So this is your clinic... It doesn't look bad at all." Dugu Yan looked at everything in the clinic with some curiosity.

"But this name..." She looked at the signboard that only had the words "Medical Clinic" on it, and chuckled, "You didn't even bother to come up with a name?"

"It's alright. The name is simple and straightforward. People just need to know that this is a place for treating illnesses." Ning Feiliu shrugged.

However, at this very moment...

"This clinic is open!"

"The doctor is here!"

"Doctor! My son is very sick! Please!"

……

A dozen civilians suddenly appeared in front of the clinic, much to the surprise of Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan, who watched the crowd surge in.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ning Feiliu shouted loudly.

At the same time, he also directly activated his soul power, causing his aura to leak out!

It was the powerful deterrent effect of the Soul Master that calmed the crowd down.

"Little Fei Liu, you... have so many guests as soon as you open the door?" Dugu Yan said with some surprise.

Ning Feiliu frowned, but then he suddenly remembered the old lady who had just been healed.

It's probably because after the old lady was cured, she was seen by these people when she went back, and then the news spread like wildfire in a short period of time.

After all, the old lady was half-dead when she was poisoned by snake venom, as if she didn't have many days left to live.

But firstly, he went back as if nothing had happened, and secondly, the old lady and her son probably said something to spread the word again.

There's a Soul Master here who's incredibly skilled and fast at healing, and healing is free here; he's a really kind person.

So all these ordinary people who usually can't afford medical treatment came here.

However, upon closer reflection, Ning Feiliu originally intended to use them to treat illnesses and help complete her mission.

So the old lady and the young man helped him get some free publicity...

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Everyone, please line up in an orderly fashion and come in one by one for me to see," Ning Feiliu said calmly. "But first, let me explain my rules for seeing patients..."

"If you don't have money for medical treatment, you can use medicinal herbs to cover part or all of the medical expenses. In emergencies, you can receive treatment first and pay later. Otherwise, it's out of the question."

"You pay for your medical treatment by gathering herbs. You need to gather double the amount of herbs. I usually don't require common herbs because they are not worth much. Just give me one or two copper soul coins."

"Also, I will not treat anyone who causes trouble or doesn't follow the rules here in the future."

Ning Feiliu thought for a moment and said, "That's all for now. Okay, you can line up now."

The civilians exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.

This way of seeing a doctor is clearly a good thing for them.

So they started lining up at the clinic.

Hearing Ning Feiliu's words, Dugu Yan couldn't help but glance at him helplessly.

That's really true...

A big, indiscriminately kind person.

But... people like that are really interesting.

"Let me help you get the medicine," Dugu Yan said with a smile. "You can focus on treating Xiao Feiliu."

Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless.

And so, Dugu Yan began preparing to fetch the medicine from behind.

Ning Feiliu, on the other hand, began sitting at the counter treating patients...

"It's just a cold. Take the cold-dispelling soup three times a day for two days and you'll be fine... These are the medicinal herbs. Go and pick these... Double the amount, and then give me two copper soul coins."

"Aren't you afraid of dying...? I can wait. How about you give me a silver soul coin and I'll get the medicine right away?"

"Stomach ailment...this looks like an ulcer? Deer God Hemostatic Pills and a blood-tonifying tonic soup, hmm, also pick these herbs. The Purple Ice Eight-Legged Deer is a soul beast, you can't possibly get its antlers, so you can just collect these herbs. As for the Purple Ice Eight-Legged Deer antlers, give me four copper soul coins."

"This tastes like you ate some unclean salt... Just induce vomiting right here, then drink salt water to replenish fluids and electrolytes! It's free."

"It's another cold, and this fever is a bit more serious. If this continues, it could lead to meningitis, pneumonia... his brain might be damaged. Okay, go get the medicine right away! I'll treat him first!"

……

And so, Ning Feiliu began her busy work of seeing doctors for her liver condition.

Dugu Yan watched Ning Feiliu busy at work with a serious look in her eyes from behind, and a smile appeared on her lips.
