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

Chapter 25 First Alchemy Experiment

There weren't many patients coming to see the doctor, after all, Ning Feiliu's clinic had only been open for a short time.

It was because that old lady was cured that he received some publicity.

But ultimately, a good reputation hasn't been established yet. These dozen or so patients only came here because the medical care was cheap, and they were just trying anything as a last resort.

Unexpectedly, just as they had heard, this Dr. Ning was highly skilled and kind-hearted, and patients could be treated without spending much money.

In fact, Ning Feiliu's medical skills are not particularly outstanding, after all, he has only been studying pharmacology for a short time.

Because of his special ability to memorize the theoretical knowledge, he easily mastered it.

However, he doesn't have much practical experience in treating patients.

As for his alchemical experience... he got it all from Singed and Lenata during the missions.

But clearly, alchemical expertise is not yet being used to treat patients.

Fortunately, those who came to see the doctor this time were all suffering from minor ailments, and there were no seriously ill or dying people coming over.

The most serious case was a child with a high fever, who was saved by intensive first aid.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu successfully treated each patient.

Meanwhile, the progress of the two tasks—treating the illness and expressing heartfelt gratitude—has also increased significantly.

"...Just go back and continue taking the medicine as prescribed."

"Thank you... thank you, Dr. Ning!"

After seeing off the last patient and receiving a heartfelt thank you, Ning Feiliu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the changes in the mission that have reappeared before us.

[Heal 100 sick patients and receive the gift of the Emerald God—a 10% increase in pharmacology learning ability. (81 more attempts needed)]

[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%. (70 more thanks needed)]

Ning Feiliu couldn't help but reveal a smile of satisfaction.

Dugu Yan, who was standing next to him, saw his smile and a smile also appeared in her eyes.

"Sister Yan, thank you for your hard work today too." Ning Feiliu then looked at Dugu Yan beside her with some gratitude.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with Dugu Yan, but Dugu Yan came and helped him all afternoon...

"I'm fine, but you, Xiao Feiliu, have been busy all afternoon. Why did you seem so happy just now?" Dugu Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Seeing these patients cured by you, you must be very happy, right? My overly kind person~"

"Ahem, I'm not happy because they've recovered," Ning Feiliu said seriously. "I'm just... happy because I've also benefited."

He was certainly not a compassionate saint; treating these commoners was merely a matter of fulfilling his duty.

Ning Feiliu simply couldn't tell Dugu Yan directly that she had a mission cheat, so she could only say that she had also gained something from it.

Sure enough, Dugu Yan looked at him with a mocking expression and said, "A harvest? You're just a huge, huge, indiscriminately good person! The kind who can't even pretend to be a bad guy!"

Ning Feiliu smiled helplessly and said, "Anyway, Sister Yan, I'm not as good as you think."

"Hmph! I don't care if you're a good guy or a bad guy." Dugu Yan stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Anyway, you're my little brother now, I'll protect you from now on!"

Ning Feiliu's lips twitched a few times, but he still said, "I'm glad you like it, Sister Yan."

What can he do now?

He's not as old as Dugu Yan, he can't beat Dugu Yan, and his soul power level is definitely not as high as Dugu Yan's...

So we have no choice but to accept it.

However, Dugu Yan could be considered his first friend in this world...

At this point, Ning Feiliu's gaze softened slightly as she looked at Dugu Yan.

"Oh no, I have to go back." Dugu Yan looked at the darkening sky outside, got up and quickly walked out.

"See you here tomorrow, little Fiyu!"

Ning Feiliu watched as Dugu Yan ran quickly outside and disappeared in an instant.

He shook his head helplessly, then smiled gently, "Actually, this girl is quite nice."

……

After returning home, Ning Feiliu spent the night in silence. After enjoying a banquet that was not at all like a family gathering, he spent the entire night practicing the Moon Essence Breathing Technique under the clear moonlight.

Over the past few days, he has gradually gotten used to the strange atmosphere of the dinner party. In fact, it is acceptable to simply enjoy the food and ignore the atmosphere.

In addition, studying medical books and practicing cultivation at night made his life somewhat monotonous, but extremely fulfilling.

The next day, Ning Feiliu arrived at the laboratory early in the morning again.

Today, the glass experimental equipment he ordered finally arrived, and Ning Feiliu decided to start the experiment.

With the rich alchemical experience of the two alchemy masters in his mind, he separated various chemical components from the root of the sour hemp in just one morning.

Based on the detoxification pill formula of Suanmagen in Douluo Continent, which requires soaking in warm water and then grinding into a paste, he used the water-soluble method and then distilled and extracted these seven different components at various temperatures.

He then began experiments to determine which chemical component was the effective ingredient that could successfully inhibit the venom of the water serpent.

For this purpose, Ning Feiliu specially purchased a batch of poultry—Kun Ge.

Ideally, white mice would be the best subjects for initial live experiments, but unfortunately, in Tiandou City, these pure white mice are sold as pets.

Five silver soul coins each, how dare you buy them for experiments!

Therefore, Ning Feiliu had no choice but to use Kun Ge as a test subject first, and then he would cultivate a batch of guinea pigs himself later.

Fortunately, the alchemist Singed, during his apprenticeship, had personally trained lab rats.

Moreover, Singed had considerable experience in breeding mice.

That's a story for another time. Ning Feiliu directly injected a small amount of the Water-Dizzy Nether Serpent's venom into the bodies of each of the Kun brothers.

Then he injected it with chemical components extracted from the root of the sour hemp.

Finally, observe their condition gradually.

Sure enough, an hour later, only one of the seven Kun Ge was still full of energy, while the other six were sickly.

"This is the effective ingredient that can inhibit the venom of the Water-Dizzy Nether Serpent!" Ning Feiliu picked up the extracted pale purple liquid and said with a smile, "Let's name it Anti-Nether Serpent Purple Ephedrine!"

The plant alkaloid in the root of the sour hemp is the key medicinal ingredient for treating the venom of the water-dizzy snake. Next, he can use starch to make a drug shell to encapsulate this active ingredient. This drug will definitely be much more effective than the previous antidote pills, and it should also have no side effects.

He then began conducting other experiments until Dugu Yan came to find him at noon.
