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

Chapter 50 Decision | Medical Book | Resurrection Rune

"The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom?" Dugu Bo murmured to himself, looking at the two peculiar immortal herbs growing in the two springs.

"Are you sure these two herbs can cure the toxins in my body?" he asked, looking at Ning Feiliu.

Faced with Dugu Bo's gaze, Ning Feiliu should actually pretend to be uncertain.

After all, he only saw this method in an "ancient book," and even the ancient book might not be sure if it was true, so how could he be sure?

However, Ning Feiliu nodded firmly and said, "Yes!"

He knew very well that Dugu Bo was now much like the patients he had treated before.

If even Ning Feiliu is uncertain, then there is no confidence.

Dugu Bo wouldn't completely trust Ning Feiliu either.

Now, Ning Feiliu needs to appear very confident in order to make Dugu Bo make up his mind.

"Senior, you should know that this method is actually not very risky," Ning Feiliu said. "Because you don't directly swallow these two herbs. It only requires an intermediary to absorb these two herbs, and then you will ingest a small amount of their blood daily to make herbs. Under the effect of the medicine, the process of forcing the poison into the soul bone will be completed."

"At that time, if any unexpected event occurs, you can interrupt the process and suppress the diluted medicinal power."

Upon hearing Ning Feiliu's words, Dugu Yan's expression softened slightly.

He chuckled lightly, "You're right, kid. Very well. Since you're not afraid, what do I, this old man, have to fear?"

"However, retrieving those two herbs will be quite difficult, since even I cannot withstand prolonged contact with these two magical herbs."

These words stunned Dugu Yan, who was standing next to him.

"Grandpa... even you..." she asked, somewhat surprised.

"I have a way." However, Ning Feiliu took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I had already thought of a method before I came here."

Then, under the watchful eyes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he slowly said, "This time... I will collect these two herbs and act as the medium for absorbing them. I think you, senior, have no objections to this, right?"

Dugu Bo chuckled lightly, but Dugu Yan was first stunned, and then her pretty face changed drastically.

"No! Grandpa! We can't let Fei Liu take this risk!" Dugu Yan said directly to Dugu Bo.

From the conversation between Dugu Bo and Ning Feiliu, she had vaguely learned that collecting these two herbs would be extremely difficult.

It might even... kill you!

Therefore, Dugu Yan definitely didn't want Ning Feiliu to take the risk.

Dugu Bo's expression turned slightly helpless. It seemed... he shouldn't have let Yan Yan come along.

He originally intended for Ning Feiliu to be the one to collect the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, and to serve as a transit point in this method.

After all, the fewer people who know about the backlash from the toxins on Dugu Bo's body, the better.

Secondly, if Ning Feiliu knew the method of collection, it would be much better for him to collect it himself than to rely on others.

Finally...

Dugu Bo couldn't help but worry that if Ning Feiliu had an accident while collecting herbs and died in the spring, it would sever Dugu Yan's feelings for him.

After all, although he acknowledged Ning Feiliu's pharmaceutical knowledge and experience, but...

In the Douluo Continent, strength still reigns supreme.

Ning Feiliu's talent, and the fact that he was only a support-type Soul Master, made Dugu Bo feel that if he were with Dugu Yan...

That means Dugu Yan is protecting him, not the other way around...

That won't do.

After some back and forth, he decided to have Ning Feiliu personally collect and absorb these two immortal herbs, using them as a transit point to dilute the efficacy of the herbs.

Ning Feiliu seemed to be quite sensible, as she volunteered to personally collect and absorb the two immortal herbs.

He must have figured out some of Dugu Bo's intentions, which is why he took the initiative.

However... Dugu Yan was not happy about it.

Dugu Bo suddenly felt a headache coming on, but just as he was wondering how to persuade Dugu Yan...

Ning Feiliu turned to Dugu Yan and said softly, "Sister Yan, I know you're worried about me, but don't worry..."

"I will succeed and come back alive."

"Moreover..." He paused, his eyes resolute and determined, "I have a reason to go. For me, this is my chance to defy fate."

"Defying fate?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment and looked at Ning Feiliu.

"A chance to defy fate?" Dugu Yan was also taken aback and said, "Fei Liu, what do you mean by that?"

"Besides the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, I also saw a record in that ancient book," Ning Feiliu said. "It is called... the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Formation Forging Method."

"As long as I enter this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and absorb two immortal herbs, I can be reborn and possess the physique to forge my current martial soul into a new one."

Under Ning Feiliu's fervent gaze, he uttered words that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had never heard before.

"Then I can forge my Martial Soul... into the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Set, which has combat capabilities." He said firmly, "I don't want to be a support-type Soul Master for the rest of my life. My personality isn't such that I like being protected, it's just that my Martial Soul is like this..."

"But now that I have a chance to change my destiny, I'm wondering if this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life."

"But I don't want to give up, even if it means death... I want to fight for this only chance."

Ning Feiliu had actually prepared this explanation long ago to justify his reckless behavior.

"Moreover... absorbing the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom is itself extremely beneficial to a Soul Master," Ning Feiliu continued with a smile. "Instead of giving the opportunity to others, I'd rather take it myself... And Sister Yan, believe me, I'm really very confident."

"I won't die," he said softly. "I definitely won't die so easily, I promise."

Dugu Yan saw the determination in Ning Feiliu's eyes, then she closed her beautiful eyes, and opened them again, "Okay... Feiliu, I promise you... But, Grandpa..."

She looked at Dugu Bo and said, "You have to protect Fei Liu at the crucial moment... I beg you..."

Seeing his granddaughter's pleading eyes, Dugu Bo sighed, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, this kid... based on how manly he was just now, I'm sticking with him!"

After hearing Ning Feiliu's words, even he had to admire Ning Feiliu's courage.

Most importantly... if Ning Feiliu really has a way to become a Soul Master, then... it wouldn't be impossible for him to befriend Yan Yan.

After all, this kid is a really good person. He has a lot of pharmaceutical knowledge, is sincere towards Yan Yan, and has an excellent character.

"But before that," Ning Feiliu suddenly said to Dugu Bo, "I want you to grant me two requests."

"You want me to agree to two things?" Dugu Bo only hesitated for a moment before generously saying, "Go ahead. What are they?"

"The first thing is actually..." Ning Feiliu suddenly took out a book from the bag on his back and said, "Although I am very confident, I cannot be 100% sure that I will return safely, so I want to complete the medical book that I have always wanted to compile before that."

"My medical book is almost finished. If I could get guidance from a senior, it should be completed soon."

"So I'd like to ask my senior to help me finish this medical book before I go there."

Ning Feiliu said somewhat solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at the book in Ning Feiliu's hand and said with emotion, "In that case, I'll take a look at your medical book first and help you improve it."

Ning Feiliu immediately smiled, but... what Dugu Bo didn't know was that his real purpose was not as simple as just completing this medical book.

More importantly, of course...

[He created a medical book and obtained the World Rune—restoring some of its fragments.]

Ning Feiliu thought that if he could obtain a fragment of the Resurrection rune, he would be more secure entering the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

In the original novel, Tang San possesses the Mysterious Jade Hand, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable.

But Ning Feiliu is currently just a Soul Master and has nothing, so some safety measures must be taken.

That's why he went back to the back of the courtyard just now, holding this half-finished medical book, intending to use Dugu Bo's knowledge to complete this task.

After all, while the task was to write a medical book, it didn't say that others couldn't help...

Dugu Bo took the medical book from Ning Feiliu's hand, opened it and read it carefully. However, the more he read, the more he was amazed by Ning Feiliu's talent in creating this unfinished medical book!

However, he still noticed some flaws, so he immediately made changes and even had Ning Feiliu come over to take a look and point them out.

After about an hour, Dugu Bo finally closed the medical book and handed it to Ning Feiliu, saying, "Alright, this book is finished... But since this is your medical book, have you given it a title?"

Ning Feiliu glanced at the medical book in her hand, picked up a pen, and smiled as she wrote on it, saying, "Let's call it... 'Treatise on Alchemy and Pharmacology'."

The next moment, the small characters that only Ning Feiliu could see appeared, then shattered and suddenly transformed into a fragmented green rune that fell into Ning Feiliu's body.

He closed his eyes and looked inward at the incomplete green rune within his body, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

The Resurrection Rune... I got it!
