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

Chapter 26 Discipline

"What are you doing?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, looking at the various glass laboratory instruments, medicinal herbs, and extracted chemical components in the lab, as well as the Kun Kuns beside her.

"I'm doing some research," Ning Feiliu replied casually.

"Research? This is strange. What is this stuff?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, picking up a glass bottle containing a pale blue powder.

"Anti-inflammatory purple stag beta-carotene?" she read aloud curiously, looking at the label.

"It's an effective ingredient extracted from the antlers of the Purple Ice Eight-Legged Deer," Ning Feiliu said without any intention of hiding anything. "The Deer God Hemostatic Pill can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, right? The main active ingredient is the antlers of the Purple Ice Eight-Legged Deer, and here, this ingredient is what truly works."

"Ingredients?" Dugu Yan was a little confused.

She understood some of these technical terms from modern chemistry, but not all of them.

"For example, a glass of salt water. How is salt water made?" Ning Feiliu explained, "It's made of salt and water. So salt is one of the components of salt water. Everything in the world is like that. The body fluids and bone keratin of living organisms are all made up of a variety of components."

"The different components in these ingredients will have different effects. For example, the anti-inflammatory stag antler alkaloid in the purple ice eight-legged deer antler is the component that I have found to be truly effective, according to my research. As for the other components, they also have different effects."

Ning Feiliu began to take out other extracted chemical organic components, "This has a stimulating effect; direct injection of this will have a certain stimulating effect..."

He spoke eloquently and would occasionally take out a Kun Ge (a type of cigarette) to demonstrate.

This made Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes gradually brighten, but it was the first time she had heard such a theory.

Even her grandfather had never mentioned that the same medicinal herb could be separated into various components, each with more specific effects.

This is the limitation of traditional medicine. Under the empiricism, they do know what kind of effect this medicine has.

As for why, and the mechanism of its action, they don't know.

"Little Fei Liu... how do you know all this?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"Actually, when you're learning a prescription, it's like a prescription with all different ingredients, but each one has a different function." Ning Feiliu naturally had already explained this. "So I was wondering if the ingredients are like that too. I've tried soaking the ingredients in water at different temperatures, and the colors are all different, so I thought that this might be a way to separate the different components."

"If these specific active ingredients were further purified and processed into medicine, like refined salt, wouldn't the effect be better, and it would also be easier for patients to swallow?"

"You're really... amazing!" Dugu Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

She had a feeling that the medicine Ning Feiliu made would be more effective than traditional medicine!

"That's how it is; it takes a lot of time to do experiments." Ning Feiliu shook her head helplessly. "Extracting various medicinal components from a medicinal herb and then conducting pharmacological experiments will probably take a lot of time."

This is just a simple pharmacological experiment. If a complete pharmacological experiment were to be conducted, it would probably take several months, or even half a year, to complete just one drug component.

He naturally didn't have that kind of time, so he could only use experimental small animals to determine the pharmacological effects of the drug components before putting them into practical use.

The main point is that they are not afraid of anything happening.

"It's really troublesome..." Dugu Yan frowned when she heard Ning Feiliu say that.

She finds studying medical books and toxicology extremely troublesome.

Not to mention conducting experiments.

Experiments are absolutely tedious; countless chemistry students in the past have cried their eyes out in the lab.

Although Ning Feiliu wasn't a chemistry major, she had a deep understanding of physics experiments from her university days in her previous life...

but……

"It's alright, I'll take it slow," Ning Feiliu said.

Regardless of the circumstances, he needs to go through this path to gain Dugu Bo's trust and then complete his mission of defying fate.

So even if this road is full of tedium, or even if it is full of thorns and ravines, he will still walk on firmly!

"By the way, someone else has come to your clinic," Dugu Yan said.

"Well... let's end the experiment here. I'll treat the patients first." Ning Feiliu didn't forget that she had to treat the patients to complete her mission.

He and Dugu Yan walked into the clinic and opened its doors.

Today... there are even more patients coming to see the doctor.

But this was exactly what Ning Feiliu wanted!

……

After curing more than a dozen patients, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan returned to their respective homes.

However, as soon as Ning Feiliu returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

"Ning-Fei-Liu-!!" A delicate, childlike voice, filled with anger, came from afar.

Ning Feiliu frowned as he watched a cute and pretty girl who looked no more than six or seven years old stride angrily toward him, accompanied by two flustered female servants.

The little girl looked exquisitely beautiful, like a delicate porcelain doll, and her facial features even bore a resemblance to Ning Feiliu.

However, her eyes were almond-shaped, which made her appear more elegant and noble, and she exuded an air of arrogance and wealth.

Ning Feiliu's eyes are willow-leaf shaped, making her appear more aloof and detached.

Ning Feiliu glanced indifferently at the little girl whose face bore a resemblance to her own as she approached her.

Without a doubt, she was his beloved youngest sister in this life, the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—Ning Rongrong.

It was because she kicked the original owner into the lake, causing the original owner's death, that Ning Feiliu was able to take over this body.

However, Ning Feiliu would not be grateful to Ning Rongrong for this.

Ning Rongrong stormed up to him, clearly having just been released from three days of confinement.

"You rascal! You're still alive, aren't you?!" she said viciously. "You even told on me to Dad, which resulted in me being punished and locked in the library for three days! Three days!"

Ning Feiliu couldn't help but find her words somewhat amusing.

He's only been locked up for three days, and he's already having such a big reaction?

You were the one who killed the original owner of this body!

And what do you mean by "not dead yet"?

Even Ning Feiliu, with her good temper, was amused by this.

"What do you mean you're not dead yet?" Ning Feiliu looked at her coldly. "Do you know how heinous your actions are? I'm your brother! What would you do if I really died?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you, this piece of trash, were dead?!" Ning Rongrong retorted defiantly. "You're just a piece of trash with only level four innate soul power. Do you deserve to be my brother?! Besides, you're not dead yet, are you? What's your name anyway?!"

Hearing this, Ning Feiliu's anger intensified, and she laughed in exasperation.

"It seems you have no right to repent," he said with a sneer. "With such a vile character, if I, as your brother, don't discipline him, are you leaving it to outsiders to do?!"

Ning Feiliu grabbed Ning Rongrong's hands, which surprised everyone present!

"Ning Feiliu! You!"
