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

Chapter 42 Soul Skills Can't Save Everyone

Ning Feiliu looked at Ye Lingling, who had followed her, with some curiosity and asked, "Miss Ye... thank you for your help. Now you can go about your business."

"I don't have anything else to do," Ye Lingling said, shaking her head.

"..." Ning Feiliu fell silent.

So you really don't have anything else to do?

Aren't you a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

Are you studying? Are you in class?

Even if you don't need to study or attend classes, do you still need to cultivate yourself?

As a Soul Master, one should be constantly striving to cultivate, right?

Ye Lingling's talent is definitely top-tier among support-type Soul Masters.

It would be more reasonable for a Soul Master like Ning Feiliu, who doesn't have high talent and can only rely on the Moon Essence Breathing Technique to increase her cultivation speed, to not cultivate during the day and only start cultivating at night.

With your talent, if you just cultivate diligently every day, wouldn't your soul power increase at an incredibly rapid pace?

"You still need to cultivate your soul power," Ning Feiliu sighed and said. "Your talent is far superior to that of ordinary people, so you should cultivate even harder."

"Cultivating soul power is important, but it's not something that can be improved overnight," Ye Lingling said. "So there's no need to rush. What I'm really curious about is... you..."

"Me?" Ning Feiliu asked in confusion.

"Yes, you saved someone even my father couldn't save, and not even a powerful Soul Master," Ye Lingling said. "This has never happened before."

Ning Feiliu immediately understood. In the world of Douluo Continent, the most effective healing effect is a support-type Soul Master using a healing or purification Soul Skill.

It can be said that no matter what injury or serious illness, it can be recovered in an instant by the soul skills of a powerful support-type soul master.

If that doesn't work, then even the most skilled doctor can't save them.

Even Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is not just a doctor; more importantly, he has the cultivation level of a Title Douluo.

But then, a freak like Ning Feiliu appeared, whose strength was not strong, or even very low.

Despite being only a Soul Master, he possessed miraculous healing skills, bringing back to life those who even the strongest healing-type Soul Masters couldn't save.

This is an achievement that has never been seen before.

Ye Lingling's family martial spirit has always been known for its ability to save lives and bring the dead back to life; no one knows better than them how to save people.

But now, a person named Ning Feiliu has appeared—one they couldn't save but who was saved by this person.

This naturally aroused Ye Lingling's curiosity and attention.

What Ye Lingling didn't say was that from the moment she met Ning Feiliu, she felt a natural affinity for her.

This was certainly not because she fell in love with Ning Feiliu at first sight.

Instead... it comes from two missions in the "Friendly Relationship with Life" series that Ning Feiliu completed in the past. He now has a natural 30% affinity buff with intelligent beings.

This 30% increase in intimacy with intelligent beings doesn't mean Ning Feiliu won't be disliked.

Any intelligent being who sees Ning Feiliu for the first time will naturally feel a good impression of her.

Ye Lingling's feelings for Ning Feiliu also stemmed from this.

Otherwise, if an ordinary person asked her for help, she probably wouldn't pay much attention to them.

The key is that Ye Lingling was already curious about Ning Feiliu, plus Ning Feiliu's natural affinity buff.

This is only because contact with intelligent beings increases intimacy by 30%. If you complete the advancement task of 10,000 people, you will gain an additional 40% intimacy.

Ning Feiliu estimated that she would definitely have become a humanoid succubus by then.

He was unaware of this matter at the moment; he simply thought that Ye Lingling was curious about how he, with his low cultivation level, could save someone whose father was helpless against her.

"The key is that the abilities of your Nine-Core Begonia Martial Soul are too narrow," Ning Feiliu explained immediately.

"Too narrow-minded?" This was the first time Ye Lingling had heard someone describe her martial soul in this way.

"Yes, although it is recognized as the number one healing-type martial soul on the continent," Ning Feiliu said, "its healing ability is unparalleled, and it is said that it can save even the most serious injuries."

"But the patient last time was poisoned by snake venom. The key to curing this patient is not healing the wound, but expelling the venom."

"As I said, the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul's ability is only to heal, not to detoxify or remove negative statuses. Therefore, when facing a patient suffering from a highly toxic snake venom, one can only use one's life force to exhaust the patient."

"The life force damaged by snake venom is replenished by Senior Ye, and then the tissue that is damaged by snake venom continues to be replenished with life force."

"Although this is somewhat like torture, it is actually effective. However, it requires a very large life force to withstand such consumption."

"And obviously..." Ning Feiliu shook her head, "If Senior Ye were a Title Douluo, he could naturally save that patient, but unfortunately there are currently no support-type Soul Masters stronger than a Title Douluo."

"So you need to first poison the person, then save them, for that to succeed," Ye Lingling said softly, immediately understanding.

"Well... actually, the person was brought in a bit late," Ning Feiliu said. "The snake venom had already damaged his major organs, but fortunately I had some methods to help him hold on until the venom was expelled."

"Actually, if Senior Ye had been able to bring it to me while he was here that day, it would have been much easier."

"Hidden in your pocket?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.

"Ah, so you come here while receiving treatment." Ning Feiliu subconsciously used the terminology from her previous life.

This is equivalent to performing cardiac resuscitation while being sent to the ICU in a previous life, which can protect the major organs and support them until the next stage of emergency treatment can be carried out.

If Ye Tianxin had used the Nine-Heart Begonia's ability to protect the patient, Ning Feiliu probably wouldn't have needed to use the timely emergency medicine, and her recovery wouldn't have been so troublesome.

"I see?" Ye Lingling nodded and said, "So there's a limit to how you can save people using only soul skills..."

"That's right, soul skills are indeed quick for saving lives, but no one understands their true nature. They only know that soul skills can heal injuries and illnesses," Ning Feiliu said. "This has limitations, and how many powerful healing-type soul masters are there? And how many people on this continent can they save?"

"Therefore, the key is to develop medicine. Only scientific and standardized medicine can save the millions of people on the mainland."

"Then..." Hearing Ning Feiliu's words, something seemed to appear in Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes. She gazed at Ning Feiliu and slowly said, "Can I learn medicine from you?"

"Huh?" Ning Feiliu was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.
